The advance in the price of pipe has
caused operations to practically come

The supply companies have issued no

HIon Held - Paris.
BULLETIN:
PARIS, June 15.-The first formal
meeting of the Venezuelan arbitration
commission opened this morning.
The arbitrator, counsel and others
were received by the minister of for
eign affairs, NJ Delcasse, in the apart
ment in which the tribunal will sit.
These are the rooms used at the meet
ing of the Spanish peace
conference.
Altogether there are about 20 per-
sons connected with the tribunal pre-
sent.
The arbitrator took their seats soon
after eleven o'clock, Chief Justice Mel
vile E. Fuller and Sir Richard H. Col
Inns, Lord Justice of Appeals, sitting
on the right of Professor De. Martens,
the umpire, and Baron Russell, of Kill
owen, Lord Chief Justice of England,
and Justice David ]. Brewer sitting at
his left hand.
M. Delcasse thanked the arbitrators
for having accepted the hospitality of
France.
Prof. Martens replied, thanking the
French foreign minister for his well
come and hospitality.
The professor announced the rules
of procedure agreed upon at yester-
days conference and said the arbitra-
tors would meet every day, excepting
Sundays.
Sir Richard Webster thereupon arose
and said that in order to meet the
views of former President Harrison
and the other American counsel in
which the English representatives
concurred, he proposed that they only
meet four days in the week, in view Of
the extremely heavy work before them.
Mr.. Harrison said he thought there
would be in four days work enough
for ordinary men, and he evoked a
general smile as, looking round on the
gathering of the most eminent jurists
of Great Britain and America, he add
ed:
And we are all ordinary men"
The work before them, he added,
would be tremendous strain upon
counsel.
Prof. De Martens thereupon agreed
that four days meeting per week
would be sufficient, arranging that the
arbitrator would not meet on Fri
days, Saturday or Sundays.
Sir Richard Webster occupied the
remainder of the day in an explain
alton, with the aid of the map on the
wall, of the geographical difficulties of
the dispute, and concluded the opening
stage of his speech shortly before 4
O'Clock, when the tribunal adjourned.

LET EN- ALONE.
Boys and girls come out to play,

Boys and girls come out to play,
The moon is shining bright as day."
Lady Arnold, of England, is shocked
at the modern tendency to comradship
and frankness between young people of
opposite sexes these days, and she
blames the bicycle for it, also golf and
tennis to some extent. She alleges that
the changes brought about in female
outing costumes, and the unconven-
tlonalism resulting from wheeling, etc.,
has distinctly robbed the modern young
lady of her refinement, repose, reserve
and dignity, and in proof of this an
nounces she has actually heard young
lady address male friend as "old
fellow" and that the salutation
''hello!" has become common.
Well, what of it? The young lady
is undoubtedly the better for it, and
the young man is very much better.
The hours young man spends with
a young lady in outdoor recreation are
undoubtedly employed to greater ad-
vantage than the old method of hav-
the youths get together by themselves,
drinking ''B. and S." smoking cigar
cites, telling risque stories and loiter-
ing about pot houses or spending
nights and days alike at cards. The
man is bettered morally and physically
and mentally by his association with
women, while the advantages are by
no means confined to him. Proper
feminine friendship never yet injured
a man; the lack of it often has, and the
same is true of womanhood 1t is emil
nently better for a girl to take care of
herself and call male friend "old
fellow or salute him with CHEEKY
"hello!" than to be isolated behind
barred window after the Spanish style,
or be logged about by a chaperone,
relic of the days of universal suspicion
and an implication of distrust and lack
of confidence. Let the girls and boys
alone. They will be better men and
women for their outdoor exercise and
their hearty comradrie.

The South is going to manufacture
its own cotton in earnest. In the past
five months fifty new cotton mills
have been built or projected in the
Southern States, involving an outlay
of $11, 100000, and thirty-nine old mills
are making or preparing to make i'm
provements at cost of $4,000, 900.
These additions will add 100000 new
spindles to existing Southern machin-
cry. Outside of these additions there
are approximately 100000 spindles in
operation in the South. This is gen

A SUGGESTIONS CONSIDERED.

An Atlanta society paper serious sug-
gests that the women of the South
form Revolver Clubs, practice until
they become good shots, and go armed
upon all occasions. The suggestion, if
adopted, carries with it the question OF
how the woman is going to tote her
revolver around. 1t is inferred, from
the custom the ladies have of carrying
handkerchiefs, pocketbooks, card cases,
scent bottles, etc., etc., in their hands
that they have no pockets in their
gowns, and even if there be a pocket
there is masculine tradition that
even the owner of the aforesaid pocket
can't find it inside of seventeen min
utes by the watch. Obviously a wo-
man can't stick a revolver in her belt,
to carry it in her hands all the time
would be to displace some of the artic-
les she carries now, and, besides, would
increase the drain on the treasures of
the accident insurance companies. This
thing will have to be debated at some
length. That women in the South, and
sometimes in the North as well, require
protection is undoubted; but this re-
volver business needs thought.
