ExtOrt|Ons Of the French.

New York, June 4.--Robert B. Roose-
welt. just back from the Paris EXPOSE
tion. in an interview printed today has
many criticisms 10 make OF the expo
sition. He says of IL: t.
1T is the worst fake and fraud that
was ever perpetrated on mankind. The
American building is unsafe, Ix don't
care what Is said to the contrary, and
l want to tell the people of New York
that IL is. The exposition is not as In
teresting as the most uninteresting
show on the Bowery. Everything about
IL is a fake. / have read lots in the
papers about the wonderful spy glass
that showed the moon. went TO see
the spy glass and found IL pointed to a
magic lantern. l detected the fake at
once, but | went on just as did all
other Americans and paid another
franc to see the next fake.
Before / went TO the exposition l
calculated that person could see the
whole show for 500 francs. / discov-
cred before left that IL cost Just 1900
francs 10 see every fake"
Mr.. Roosevelt praises the art exhibit.

the expose that will be made OF it's
dishonest character I'm the national

II seems inevitable that the great
influx OF gold must raise the money
values OF real estate. This must come
first. In the great business centres. and
from those centres II will extend to the
remotest corners of the land. This Inn
pulse has already appeared at Chicago.
The Inter-Ocean says:
Ninety per cent. Of the sky-scraper
space OF Chicago is now said to be oc-
pied, which is better than any showing
we have been able to make since 1892.
AS another indication that the business
OF Chicago has caught up with the
buildings II is reported that the num-
ber Of vacant stores and residences In
all parts OF the city Is decreasing. We
are evidently approaching the time
when stagnation in the real estate mar
ket will give place to something closely
resembling an old-fashioned BOOM

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

The lovers of all that is best in comic
opera have a rare treat in store for
them this week al the Providence opera
house, where the Wilbur Opera COM
pany VIII present Bohemian Girl and
, Grand Duchess. There are few of US,
perhaps, Who haven't heard Bohemian
Girl at least once, and many of US 4
dozen times. But il still is the opera
that draws bigger crowds than any
opera in the Wilbur repertoire. The
reason is not difficult 10 seek. The
music is delightful, in several numbers
approaching grand opera. The plot
and dialogue give an interesting story,
which is we'll worked out with a logical
climax, and the role of Devilshoof pro-
vides sufficient comedy TO relieve the
serious element in the opera. No bet
ter music has ever been written than
Heart Bowed Down, THE Fair Land
of Poland" and Il Dreamt That
Dwelt in Marble Halls The famous
Bostonians no matter what new opera
they may be presenting, always keep
Bohemian Girl In their repertoire, and
IL has proved TO be. their best paying
opera. Specialties will be introduced
between the acts as heretofore, al
though all the vaudeville numbers will
be new this week. For the big sing
ing number, Anna Laughlin and j.
Clarence Harvey, will introduce for the
IF / were You and You Were L." The
entire chorus will assist in this song.
and there will be incidental business"
and light effects. A number OF topical
verses have been written. and the song
promises TO be the feature OF the opera.
Master Gabriel and the Lamar broth
ers will change their specialties The
Amazon March will be introduced and
the big living picture will conclude the
performance. Beginning with the
Thursday matinee Grand Duchess Will
be presented for the remainder of the
week. and the specialties will again be
changed. Miss Laughlln introducing
two negro serenades, assisted by the
chorus. During this half of the week
the famous Wilbur male quartet will
render number OF selections. and Miss
May Baker will give a speciality. Maud
Daniel will continne to introduce novel
ties with each change of opera. and she
has some big surprises in store. She
believes that last season she learned
what the Prcvi ience public wishes and
she means to give IL TO them. Natl
nees will be given daily. The prices at
the matinees are10 cents all over the
house, excepting a few seats reserved
at 20 cents. For the night perform
ances the prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents
iced lemonade will be served the ladies
al each performance free Of charge, end
cigarettes will be distributed among
the men.

Sentiment In Favor Of tho Bill
Growing Among Members
Of City Council.

There appears to be a sentiment
growing in favor OF the bill TO re-dis-
trict the city of Providence among the
members of the city council. and what
ever opposition there will be TO the pas
sage OF the measure by the General
Assembly, will. from present indica-
tiOns. not be. of a partisan nature. as
there are some opponents among the
Democratic and some among the Re
publican members. These are. however.
so far few in number. and IL does not
appear unless some change occurs, that
the opposition To the bill will be very
pronounced. IL is very probable that
the common council this evening Will
pass n resolution instructing the city
solicitor to appear at the public hearing
on Monday next. and there is no doubt
that the resolution will pass the board
of aldermen in concurre zee on Thurs

The Fall River Globe. published In
the centre of great cotton manufac-
turing district, says:
"A good deal of the prosperity the
country Is experiencing is of the kind
that busted firm OF New York cotton
brokers imagined II was enjoying. 1t
was laboring under the delusion that
in pushing up the price of the staple by
it's speculative operations it was not
only enriching itself. but the planters
and owners OF cotton also. When, how
ever. II reached the limit OF its rope in
Initiating values by it's manipulations,
the crash came. and the essential diff
ference between the shadow and the
substance became apparent"

There is apparently an interest now
awakening in New York city concern
ing local historical places; money is
being raised TO purchase two estates:
one the Morris house where Washing
ton commissioned Nathan Hale; the
other Francis tavern, which was
Washington's headquarters. The New
York Herald urges the purchase. The
Brooklyn Eagle also urges the same
idea. commenting very highly the Peo-
pies institute. of Manhattan for what
il had done the past winter in sending
out Sunday excursions. under proper
guidance, TO study points of local his
torical interest. The Eagle says: Local
history is fearfully and wonderfully
neglected in New York. That is inevi-
table because of the many races and
the recent arrival OF much OF our pop
sIIation. The mixed character OF the
English race. which Tennyson indicat-
ed by his line. Saxon. Norman and
Dane are we." is simplicity itself COM
pared with the population of Manhat-
tan Island, i'm which the original
Dutch and English stocks have been
confused and overrun by large streams
of immigration from Ireland and Ger
many and. in latter years, from Italy.
Poland, Southern Russia. the Slav
races of Eastern Europe. Scandina-
vians. Firms, Frenchmen, Spaniards.

i'm Manhattan were, for the most part,
born some where else and know far
more of the historical monuments in
their native South and New England
than of their adopted home on Manhat-

The suggestion in Saturdays News
that the General Assembly would do
well to assist the state fair TO continue
10 exist. met with an instantaneous re-
sponse in favor OF appropriating the
money. In no possible way can the
General Assembly. by the use OF so
small sum as five thousand
dollars. give so much pleasure to so
many people. The News has felt the
pulse of the people, and 1t feels strong
in it's advocacy of this use OF public
moneys. The value of these fairs, as
educators, has been the theme. for our
best minds, for years. Why not then
help them to exist? These fairs pay
but not perhaps in money. But IL it is
only in educating the masses that they
pay" why not help them to exist?

The naming OF the new battleship
Rhode Island comes as victory for
the News. This paper was the first to
suggest, and the strongest, and the
longest to urge 1t. With ten Historical
specifications the News set forth the
solid reasons for. and the appropriate
ness of the name. Rhode Island stood
first. of all the colonies for the greatest
principles, which are today the funda-
mental laws OF this great republic. The
News prepared petitions for this name
for this ship-Rhode Island-and cir
culated coupons for signatures. These
signatures came, in lots OF 400o and
even once lot of 5000 came to US. For
these reasons the News congratulates
both it's constituents. and itself, with a
result which must give pleasure to
everybody in Rhode Island.

The Boston Herald had this fine para
graph day or two since:
THE corrupting influence of the pre-
vailing spin. and methods of business
life in these days has had some recent
grave illustrations. There are the
Clark case in the Senate. the Cuban
postoffice frauds. the affair OF the Globe
bank in this city. the manipulation Of
the American Steel & Wire company's
credit in the stock market, not to men
ton other cases that will readily oc-
cur to our readers. These are only
symptomatic of vast pervading de-
moralization which thoughtful persons
perceive. 1t appears on all sides and
among all classes. There Is degrada-
tion ~ the notions of honor and integ-
rity that may well occasion alarm. 1t
In not more evident in the lapses that
are notorious than in the way in which
the guilty are often excused and fiat
tered, provided they are rich. Hun
dreds and thousands who 10 a moral
certainty are as guilty In their meth
DDS but more successful in escaping
exposure, suffer little from disapproba-
ton"
Following this, came the Brooklyn
Eagle, with long article entitled. THE
growing demand for honesty In busi-
ness" In this article the writer in the
Eagle sets forth the signs of promise
which he sees in the industrial sky.
These signs ell point toward corporate
management. and the manipulation Of
stocks, and at last closes with this:
''All this Is iD the direction OF gov
ernment, supervision OF corporations for
the sake OF the protection OF the pub
llc.s We may say all We choose about
the duty Of government to refrain from
such supervision. on the theory that the
less government we have the better.
but there is no use in attempting to ig-
more the evidence that the people are
looking more and more TO their elected
servants to guard their interests"
Yes. OF course. right here in Rhode
Island we have seen this clearly shown
by the action OF the General Assembly.
Then the Eagle screams:
New conditions make new necessi-
ties and we are confronting a condition
today which is different from any con-
ceived by the men who made govern
mental maxims a century ago. But the
men who made those maxims allowed
lotteries and even assisted in their or
ganization. We have discovered tina,
these things are pernlcious and have
forbidden them and will not allow them
TO use the mails. The corporations
whose chief activities are on the Stock
Exchange are only bigger lotteries thar
those against which the federal laws
are directed. They are organized fol
the sake OF floating stock and not fol
the transportation of people or for tho
manufacture of various products. Their
relation to legitimate commerce is IN.
cidentai and they exist primarily foi
the sake of creating stocks To be spec.
ulated in. When public sentiment ha,
reached q proper appreciation OF IN,
nature OF these enterprises they will b,
classed In law. as well as IN fact. alor
with the forbidden lotteries and vii
have to go out OF business"
