Paris, May lathe American pavilion
at the exposition was formally turned
over to the authorities and public Sat-
urday afternoon. The Inauguration took
place in the presence of the embassy and
consular officials, number of high French
functionaries, foreign diplomats and COM
missioners, and such concourse of Am
erican citizens that many who were pro
vided with tickets were unable to gain
admittance to the building. French mu-
nicipal guards and policemen formed a
Gordon around the building, keeping the
space in front of the main entrance, on
the embankment of the Sein, free for the
passage of the official party. The bal
comics were occupied exclusively by in
vited guests, while on the floor of the
building a double line of American guards
with white summer helmets formed an
aisle through which the official party
passed from the main entrance to the spot
where the presentation took place. The
ceremony of transferring the pavilion was
quite simple, consisting of an address
by Ferd w. Peck, commissioner of the
United States, handing over the pavilion
to NJ. Alfred Picard, assistant commits
sioner general of the exposition, and the
latter's response. No time was lost in
proceeding with the ceremony, Mr.. Peck
delivering his address and NJ. Picard re-
plying in a brief but eloquent address
which evoked enthusiastic hurrahs from
the audience.

Foreigners with their strange doc

Town and Country.

Reports from the census euumera-
tors received at Washington show that
rapid progress is being made in the
count in the city districts particularly
and II Is believed that by the latter
part of this week the work in the cit
les will be pretty well completed. As
soon as 1t is possible to tabulate. the
reports the figures on the cities win be
made public. This will not take a great
deal of time; so that it will be known
shortly how the cities rank with each
other and how the cities and the coun-
try are dividing the population. In
some Of the cities where. the boundar.
les have been extended one factor that
tends 20 equalize urban and rural
growth will be lacking. Bui where
the boundaries have been maintained
the trolley lines built since the last
census will show a growth immediate
ly outside the cities that will prove in
teresting BY the time another census
is taken the trolley car will have brok-
en- down the barriers even more and
it is possible that the tendency of pop
ulaton will be toward the point be-
tween the extreme of either city or
country life.
Cities attract population because
they afford a field for employment and
business If the people who are en-
gagged in the cities can be acccmmo-
dated with homes outside of them
rapid transportation will make the
city the workshop and the country the
home. Already the transformation is
we'll under way, and the suburbs Of ev-
cry city show remarkable growth. But
as the idea is better understood and
the trolley lines penetrate farther into
the rural region the practice will be
extended over wider ranges The troll
ley car is spreading cities over broad
territory. 1t is breaking down the line
between town and country-Pittsburg
