PECK is HOME FROM PARIS
Says French Exposition Stands Unri-
vailed in Number Of Exhibits.

New York, Dec. 24.-Ferdinand w.
Peck, commissioner general to the Paris
exposition, Mrs. Peck and Assistant
Commissioner General woodward were
passengers on the st. Louis. OF the
exposition Mr.. Peck said:
I'm comparing 1t with that of 1898 my
natural prejudice would be. of course,
on the side of the Chicago exposition,
which in it's architecture and grouping
as the white city, has not been and will
not be equa1ed but as an exposition Of
exhibits it must be admitted to be in
ferior to the great event just closed.
The display at Paris was unprecedented.
It was freely admitted that the dis
play of the United States was the most
prominent of the foreign nations. It
received a much larger number of
awards than Germany, Russia Great
Britain Austria or any other nation
foreign to France"
Mr. Peck said considerable work re-
mains to be done by the commission in
connection with the closing up Of the
vast details and the settlements to be
made son both sides of the water Major
Rrackett he said, will remain for some
time in Paris. The final report for con-
gress is yet to be prepared and this, he
said will be very extensive and viii
be of considerable practical value.
Assistant Commissioner General
Woodward was lying in bed in his state
room when the ship arrived. He fell
on the dock the second day out and
broke his left ankle.

zOLA's COMING NOVEL.
Labor to Be the Subject and Industry
to Be Advocated,

Paris, Dec 24.-T4le plan and scope of
Emile Zolas next novel, Travail" ac-
cording to the authors own words, IS
summed up as follows:
g Travail or labor, is the second of a
series of works which has haunted me
all my life must write them: They
fire my blod and fill my brain. The first
was .Fecondite,' the second is the one now
third shall call fVerite': the fourth and
my four gospels.
LAS in my first book I made a plea for
large families, 50 in this I advocate in
dustry. The nation with large and in
dustrious families will and must be all
conquering- try to show the ills of labor
today in our abominably organized so
ciety- The modern social organism has
dishonOred labor, made it a, work of sor-
row and misery Now, in order to heal
these ills, We must realize them, tell the
whole truth and then apply the remedy.
Sordid SelfishneSS must be made to dis
appear. Man must show large-hearted
humanity He must realize that he lives
for his brother man well for him
self.
In my book is a vision of new and re-
generated society, when men and nations
viii unite in labor When gIOrified labor
will become the law and the life of the
world it viii be at once the creator and
the regulator.
Il look forward to that millennium
where strife between labor and capital, be-
tween master and servant will have
ceased

SHALL THEY VACCINaTE
Question of Whether 1T Can Be
Made Compulsory.

The questions concerning the power of
a school board to exclude from school
pupils not vaccinated will be settled by
a. suit fled in the supreme court by S.
B. Osborn Of Dodge City.
Osborn has three children who were
excluded from the city schools because
they refused to be vaccinated. Osborn
has asked for a writ Of mandamus to
compel the board to rescind the order,
because it interferes with rights guar
anteed to him under the constitution
and he claims that the enforcement of
an order to compel his three healthy
children to submit to a surgical opera
tion like vaccination is barbarous.
The case will come on for final hear
ing in the supreme court in January.
