Gloucester, Mass, July 1.-THE Glou-

Imagination. is sleepy old village on
Cape Ann from whose harbor perennial
fleets OF fishing smaeks sail out to catch
the festive cod, and sail in again to salt
1t down" for 'the announcing cod fish

lage where drying fish scents the callow
air. and where quaint "old salts" are for

Tho real Gloucester is none of 1t. but
Is brand new city of brand new wooden
cottages that mildly suggest the brand
new additions to some old towns in Texas
The tishy smell Is still here, and the hardy
fisher folk still force a precarious liyeli-
hood from the cod and mackerel the Al
lantic offers to their skill and courage.
But "the city" lives Off the summer Wis
itors.
In the last ten years this whole north
shore has blossomed into villages OF sum-
mer hotels and cottages. The bleak and
lands of the craggy coast line that erst-
while brought only taxes to the owners,
are now sold by the front foot aud a
block OF rocks and wild roses brings
small fortune.
The hotels are much as summer hotels
elsewhere. but the cottages---to unaceus-
toned eyes many OF them are palaces-are
things OF beauty set as they are against

Many clubs have begun Libraries. their
reports varying from twenty to 700 vol
umes. One delegate reported that her
clubs library graced the corner Of her
husbands store. Many clubs keep their
books in the house of some one member.
san Antonio advised department clubs
that there should be club house owned
by the club women of each town. The de-
partment club of San Antonio OWNS its
building, fitted with parlor, kitchen and
cupboard. Denispn also owns its club
house. built mostly by gifts from the
new man
The mannish woman did not GSpear
during the convention, and woman's rights
organizations are disqualified by the con-
stitution. All in all, there was nothing
said or done that could have shocked our
gentle grand danes.
The federation spread its wings so as
to cover musical clubs, village improve
ment, kindergarten and mothers clubs.
and in fact all clubs without propaganda.
Much of the harmony of the convention
was due to the grace and tact OF the pre-
siding officer, Mrs. Rotan OF Waco, aud
the house applauded and cheered their
regard for her whenever opportunity Of
fered. Mrs. Terrell, the incoming presi-
dent has done much practical library work
and is well known and esteemed by the
entire State.
The Wednesday club of Galveston, as
sisted by the Echo club and the Ladies'
Musical club, entertained the delegates.
and each stranger was welcomed, fed and
feasted after the manner OF the returned
prodigal. and then sent home with the
echo OF sweet songs in the heart.

The French people are laboring under
the Impression that nothing but Yankee
ingenuity will draw Americans over to the
exposition. The more ingenious and the
frcakier the exhibit the more likely are
people to visit Paris next year.
And they are right. There are realities
enough In every day life. Why not turn
to the ideal when one is on pleasure bent?
A castle in the air is a novelty. All
ones life one has been told not to build
air castles. nor to. dream dreams that can
never come true.
Yet here is castle in the air that will
soon be a reality. To prove this one may
mention that $4,000 francs have been APP
propriated for the building of the same,
and that elaborate preparations are being
made to people 1t with servants and other
creature comforts.
An attraction so unique, and from an
architectural standpoint so daring that it
is entitled to be regarded as one OF the
wonders OF the century. is this castle in
the air that is to be constructed by one OF
the most noted of Partisan architects.
II Is no less than an aluminium structure,
built in the form of an old castle, which
will be suspended ESQ feet above the earth.
The balloon TO which this aerial castle will
be attached is TO be the largest in the
world, as II will have a capacity of 10000
gallons. 1t Is to be filled with hydrogen
gas and will be constructed of the strongest
oiled silk, covered with catgut net. The
castle will be attached to the balloon by
aluminium bands while other bands will
connect the balloon with the earth which
will prevent 1t rising any higher than the
desired point.
The castle itself is to be an immense
structure. One floor viii be used as a mu-
sic hall. where there will be singing and
dancing Another floor will be used as d
rink for roller skating, the aluminium
foor making an ideal surface for this
sport, and here an international contest in
Plain and fancy roller skating will be car
ried on.
On another floor there will be an I'M
mense bicycle rink with aluminium track,
as smooth as glass and as glittering as
silver. where races will be conducted every
day and evening. In addition TO these fea-
lures there will be a gymnasium dance
hall and several cafes and restaurants
The gigantic balloon from which this
castle is to be suspended will not be the
only balloon at the Paris exposition.

What wonderful showing! AS II the
United States was suffering for nncult-

told has only about 20 900, 900 acres CT un-
cultivated land. We have dozen States
any one OF which has more than that.
Texas alone has over 10000 900 acres of
uncultyated land, or about four and half
times as much as the island of Luzon. In
the United States we have over billion
acres of uncultivated land. or about thirty

STOLEN MONEY RETURNED
Shareholders of Robbed London
Bank Strike a Windfall

London, Jan. 26.-The robbery OF ever
10000 from PARIS bank in this city on
Monday last, which has been the sensation
of the week. took dramatic turn TODAY.
when the chairman OF the bank announced
at meeting of the shareholders that e4O.-
600 in the biggest notes had been returned
to the bank by post.
The robbery apparently was a most dar-
ing crime. The thief is supposed to have
walked boldly behind the counter. where
there were over one hundred clerks at
work, opened a drawer. from which he
took parcel OF notes, and walked out OF
the bank undecided.
American thieves are suspected OF having
been concerned in the theft and it is said
several Americans were recently noticed
lettering about the premises. The no:ice
are again utterly helpless
Thirty-six 10bl-nound notes and twenty
two 5oo-pound notes figured in the robbery.
Most Of these have now been returned and
The remainder Of the notes are practically
unacceptable The chairman Of the bank
also announced that the bank officials had
promised to replace the amount. the $50
eoo. Of which e4ao09 had been returned.
The remainder Of the money was in notes
OF smaller amounts. which could he easily
passed and might therefore be considered
lost. The shareholders greeted this unex-
pected announcement with enthusiasm. es-
pecially a. It vas accompanied by dec
laration Of a dividend Of Is per cent.
