COMPARISON Of the figures of the
general election of last April with the
figures of November and April 1898
shows failing off both in total vote,
the vote OF both the leading parties and
accordingly Mr.Kimbalrs plurality. The
percentage OF the latter however. was
only slightly reduced I'm 1898 Mr.. kim
ball was the candidate OF both the Re-
publicans and the Good Government
parties. receiving 63l7 from the former
and 1866 from he latter. Last April the
Goo Coos did not express themselves
in nomination papers and Mr.. Kimball
received 7l0s votes and a plurality of
2765 with the Democratic strength
somewhat increased over the year be-
fore their candidate being highly pop-
ular man. but the real reduction in the
Republican strength being almost
wholly found in the Socialis; vote which
surprised thinking citizens by showing
an increase OF more than 500. or about
fifty per cent. over that cast the pre-
ceding year.

A CHOIR BOY IN PARIS.

To become a choir boy in Paris YOU
must be either one of two things-the
pupil of one Of the ecclesiastical schools
In the city. or youth OF exceptional
gifts as TO voice and recommendations
from the world beyond the shadow of
the church. The scholars OF the monks
are the more favored ones and froW
their ranks are supplied nearly all the
vacancies occurring in the many
churches OF the capital. Besides stand
ing high in his class the applicant FOR

and one capable OF very high cultiNa-

THE rivalry between Industrial pro-
ducts for the honor OF being king was
never SO strong Cotton, iron and now
wool are bidding for the throne, while
the recent movement In leather shares
on the stock exchange suggests that
leather may claim the place before long
If the product takes ON a boom any
thing like that of the stock of the trust
that controls IL. The position OF wool IS
particularly gratifying just now. After
a long period Of stagnation and months
of htful flurries the wool market has at
last risen Ike a waking giant and
thrown all it's previous records In the
shade just as iron had already done.
The enormous transactions in wool
lately have been distinctly due TO a
buying demand and not any pressure
TO sell and that is rather novel eX-
perience for wool As a month ago the
iron men were proclaimlng that iron Is
king so now the wool crowd is rejoicing
in the triumph OF their candidate for
the honors.

continental Ne EWSPAPERS.

The person who would wish TO learn
something about the chief newspapers
Of foreign countries must first grasp
ihe fact that they are in two or three
important points very different from the
great English journals with which n is
so familiar. In the first place they sell
dom make any striking pretence of be-
ing "up-to-date" -purveyors for
the public. in the sense that we under
stand that term IN relation TO the Brit
ish and Ans rican Press. In fact. they
give some few items Of fresh news here
ana there i'm their pages. but it is in
most cases "A very desultory kind of re-
chauffe.
Secondly. newspapers on the Cont
nent are seldom or never sold so widely
on the streets To every passer by as
ours are; they are nearly all subscribed
for by advance payments. and then are
delivered by hand or post at the houses
OF the various subscribers as they are
issued. it is true that in Paris Berlin
and one or two other large towns. one
can buy "A paper at the klosks which
are In many parts Of the city. but this
system is nothing like so universal as
are our newsagent's shops.
Again. the Continental papers, almost
without exception, devote large part
Of their space to short story, or con-
tinuaton OF a serial one, daily; ana
they have. comparatively speaking,
much more space gwen up 10 advertise
ments than our papers have.
Lastly. there are few papers OF Eu-
rope outside our own country when eN-
ercise any important effect on the pub
lie opinion regarding political events
such as Is exercised every day by the
great London and New York Journals.
Though foreign papers pretend TO be
Liberal or Conservative,as as the case may
be, the meaning of these terms 20 tneih

THE confidence already expressed by
the citizens of Providence I'm Represen-
tative Kimball ought TO count heavily
in his favor now that he asks their sup
port as a candidate for Mayor His plu-
ralites have always been expressed in
four figures. The same year that the
citizens OF Providence elected Mr. Baker
Mayor by plurality of 34l4, in Novem-
ber 1898. they had already. in April
elected Mr.. Kimball to the Assembly
by a plurality of 1923. three hundred
more plurality than Mr. Baker received
in the fall. The percentage of the total
vote given Mr.. Kimball in April was
also greater than that given Mr. Baker
i'm November although the actual fig
ures were smaller by several hundred
the total vote for Mayor in the fall be-
ing larger all around than the vote for
assemblymen IN the spring In other
words Mr.. Kimbal received larger
percentage OF the total vote for assem-
bymen in April than Mr.. Baker did for
Mayor in the fall.
