GETTING ABOUT PARIS.
The Street Cars and Omnibuses of the
 City and the Rates of Fares.

SAey Hhu tue hsttoS or GaFeS.
 The means of passenger transit in Paris is something that will interest a great many people the coming year, in kjew of the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- city, steam, compressed air and horse power. There are three tramway lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and om- nibuses are generally used throughout the city. One of the aforementioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie senerale des Omnibus, and the other two are practically controlled by the same company; so that it can be said 10 have monopoly of the entire pas senger transit, exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is a stock company, or ganized in 1855, having obtained from 9he city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another m the city of Paris. The concession expires on the 31st of May, 1910. The hy two or three horses, respectively. The smaller model is arranged for 2S to 30 places GA outside, If inside and two on the platform). The larger model affords accommodations for 20 oit top and 20 inside, including four on Platform. The fare on the top is 15 eentimes (near cents); inside and on platform, 30 centimes (nearly eents1. The payment of the last-mentioned fare entities the passenger to a "cor- fespondeneeo or transfer ticket to an- other connecting or intersecting line. No passengers are taken on when the places are filled. either at a station or en route. At the starting points num- bered tickets are handed to the pas Eengerg, and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- cedence is given to those holding the first numbers The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncalled on the previous vehicle. The same system prevails at the fixed stations en route for vacant places. No standing in the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: 8 lines Of omnibuses (26 to 30 places}, 50, ,030.- 034; II lines of omnibuses (40 places1, 79,349,6 631; 3 lines of steam tramways, 12,862. 990. g lines of horse tramways, 7.0s2, ,926; lines of compressed air and electricity, 10, 7o5. $40; total, 240,- 040,29f. The distances traversed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to little over four miles.

 Cigarettes.

Taking the population Of Great Brit ain and Ireland at 3S,000,000 a trade journal assumes that 10 per cent, are cigarette smokers, and that they con- sume on an average five day all the year round. This would give total oNnearly 100000, 900. The tobacco contained i'll this number of cigarettes would weigh over $500 tons, and if it were slowed in carts, each carrying a ton, and the carts marshaled in a line with twenty feet for each horse and vehicle, a procession would be formed over thirty-fve miles long, the total length of 7000Oo0,o00 of them would be upward of 331 ,o00 miles, or more than enough to circle the globe nearly fourteen times. It would make line from here to the moon, and nearly half the way back again.

WHERE 1r1raE ARE Nu 4AAro.
Inhabitants of Eoud's Island OF the
 Maine Coast Pay None.

Inhabitants of Loud's Island OF the
 Maine Coast Pay Nene
 Loud's island, on the coast of Maine, near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one of the very few places on earth where there are no taxes This island, otherwise known as Muscongus, was overlooked when Maine became a state, and was put into no town or county. It is said that during the war the people cast their votes for time in the town Of Bristol until some election officer dis covered the illegality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud, deserter from 8 British man-ef- war, and his great grandchildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school is maintained, the Rarents paying s4 fer each child The school term averages eight months in each year, and there is an average attendance of eighteen scholars. Catch ing bait for the fishermen of Boston. Gloucester and Pc. is the most profitable business Of the people, out when bait is slack in running they turn their attention to lobstering. mackerel fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fertilizlng factory opposite the island in Bristol. After successful haul of bait large white flag is hoisted on the high ground in the center of the island. With glass it may be discovered far out at sea, whence come the Grand Bankers and others like buzzards attracted by the casualties of battle. The people have comfortable homes. and are prosper ous and eontented. Like the fisher men of isle, they are famous for their skill as sailors.-Poftland Press.

Some Railway Expenses.

Casters Magazine contains the fol-
lowing concerning some of the expenses
of large railway company:
That great railway company is called
upon to expend annually immense sums
OF money for what seem to be com.
paratively trifiing details of its business
was forcibly illustrated recently by DR..
Charles B. Dudley, chief chemist of the
Pennsylvania railroad, in a lecture at
Purdue university. He said that the
purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania
railroad spends from ST. 900 900 to S2o,-
100000 a year, and of that amount about
IS. 900 goes for rubber bands, 81 900 for
lead pencils, 81 900 for pins, 5000 for
ink, $4,000 for toilet soap $I,ooo,ooc for
lumber and 800, 900 for hose. Attention
was called to the very interesting fact
that it costs nearly as much for stationery
with which to carry on the business of
tue road as it does for iron.

and a small trench across the road, heli
their fire until the Americans were
close to them, When they began firing
other Filipinos opened fire from thick
cts, right and left, further away. The
insurgent sharpshooters picked off the
officers first. Five of the Americans
who fell wore shoulder straps or chev-
roris.
But the 33d never wavered. Its crack
marksmen knocked the Filipinos down
from trees like squirrels, and the
Americans rushed the trenches, leaving
four dead insurgents there. The regl-
ment then deployed, under fire, with
Major John A. Logan's battalion in the
center, Major Cronic's on the right and
Major Marsh's on the left. The skIr-
mish line, which was a mile long, ad-
vanced rapidly, keeping UP constant
fire.
Major Marsh fanked a small trench
full of insurgents, surprising them, and
slaughtered nearly all of them before
entering the town. The Gatling gun
killed five of a force holding the bridge
town, driving about $50 Filipinos into
the hills. Marsh's battalion entering the
town first, captured battle flag which
was flying over a convent
The insurgents are supposed to have
retreated toward Dagupan. 1t was I'M
possible tD pursue lHelfl, dS TIE AIIlStl-
can troops were exhausted and their
supply of ammunition was low. The
outposts killed five Filipinos during the
fight. The body of the Filipino lieu
tenant colonel commanding was found
among the killed. The regiment re-
turned to San Fabian Sunday, it being
impossible to get supplies over the
roads.
A proclamation of the Filipino sec
retary of war was found in all the viii
lagos giving glowing accounts of al
legged Filipino victories and saying that
$500 Americans had been killed and
$1,000 wounded during the war. The
killed and wounded were brought to
Manila to-day.

NOT A RECOLLECTION" But A LIE

by special train, the Standard reached
Helena with the news of the appoint
ment of the committee and with an
account of the afternoons proceedings
The investigating committee reported
on Tuesday, January 10. On the morn
ing of Wednesday. January II, the
Standard, by special train, reached
port the committee had made on the
previous afternoon. All the data show
ing the telegraphic receipt of the re-
port, the time when the edition went
to press, the moment of the departure
of the special train from Anaconda and
of its arrival in Helena, soon after Z
o'clock in the morning-these and all
the essential facts that prove the
vicious falsity of Mr.. Hoffman's state
ments and differences, are at COM
mand
1t makes all the difference in the
world The conduct imputed to the
Standard by Mr.. Hoffman would be so
disreputable as to require more than
passing notice. 1t would very naturally
bring any newspaper into a condition
that would be a good deal worse than
contemplate. In a measure, FORUM
ately, as already mentioned, Mr., Hoff-
man was promptly brought to book,
but the incident demands the emphatic
statement that the Hoffman testimony
is utterly false, given falsely. as we
do believe, in deliberation and under
the mistaken notion that it might pass
unchallenged in the court room or that,
even if challenged, the statement and
the insinuation would have their effect
anyhow. In matters of this sort, imme-
diately touching all that is honorable in
a newspapers career, reputable men do
not so into supreme-court rooms and
under oath, assert or insinuate false
hoods SO radical and so malicious

Under ordinary circumstances man
who inadvertently makes misstate-
ment, even in court, in derogation of
an individual or a newspaper, may per-
haps be forgiven. The circumstances
attending the Welcome trial are not
ordinary-they have been declared by
w. A. Clarks newspapers to be "re-
lieve that the testimony given yester-
day relative to this newspaper, by
Charles w. Hoffman, state senator for
Gallatin county, was an inadvertence.
Rather our belief is that Mr.. Hoffman
was delibera tely false in his purpose.
For all that the attorneys prosecuting
Welcome might know, his false testi-
mony could have stood unchallenged.
That a partial correction was forced
out of Hoffman was, we presume, due
to the fact that present in the court
room was member of the Standards
staff who was familiar with the facts
and who was able instantly to scotch
the lie.
Mr.. Hoffman testified yesterday that
the report of the committee of the joint
session of the legislature was made on
certain day and that on the morning
of that day, hours before the committee
made its report, the Standard published
the report in full. This statement, on
direct examination, Mr.. Hoffman re-
peated, saying that the Standard
reached Helena on special train, on
the morning of the day when the re-
port was made to the joint session-"at
least that is my recollection, I am not
| positive about it now"
| It takes a rotten recollection to recol-
| Iect in court and under oath a false
| assertion of this kind. The investigat-
| ing committee was appointed Monday,
| January 8. On Tuesday, January 10,

MAJOR LOGAN KILLED.
Shot While Calamity Leading IL Battalion
Against the Enemy.

Washington, Nov. 14-A cable dis
patch received at the war department
announces that Major John A. Logan,
Thirty-third volunteer infantry, has
been killed in a fight in Luzon. He was
leading his battalion in action. He is a
son of the late General John A. Logan
OF Illinois and Mrs Maria Logan, now
a resident of Washington. He leaves a
widow and three children at Youngs-
town, Ohio. The news of the death of
Major Logan was contained in the fol-
lowing dispatch from General Otis un-
der date of Manila to-day:
Wheaton reports that Nov. II there
was an engagement near San Jacinto
between the Thirty-third volunteers and
1900 entrenched insurgents. Our losses
We're Major Logan, gallantly leading a
battalion, and six enlisted men killed.
Captain Greene and IL men were
wounded, mostly very slightly The en-
emy was routed, leaving 81 dead in the
trenches. His loss is believed to be 300.
Lawton reports from San Jose that in
the vicinity of San Nicholas, north of

gent newspaper and large quantity of
rice was also captured The cavalry is

Manila, Nov. IA. pm.-The 33d in
hours enga gements of the war, with
an equal force of insurgents, five miles
from San Fabian, Saturday, lost one
officer killed and five men killed and
one officer and 12 men wounded. The
Americans captured 20 Filipinos and
100 rifles and found 81 insurgents dead,
lying in the trenches and rice fields
Many more Filipinos doubtless We're
killed or wounded.
General Wheaton was informed that
the enemy were gathering at San ia
cinto for the purpose of preventing the
Americans controlling the road from
Dagupan north, whereby Aguinaldo
might retreat The 33d, Colonel Howe
commanding, and detachment of the
18th with Gatling gun, Howland COM
manding, were sent to disperse them.
The troops encountered the worst road
ever found in the island of Luzon.
There was a succession of creeks whose
bridges the Americans had to repair,
and at certain places horses struggled
waist deep in quagnires. A hundred
soldiers had to drag the Gatling gun
part of the way, the horses being use
less.
