Paris, May 26@Somebody once said,
Good Americans, when they die, go to
Paris" Well, perhaps they do, but lots
of good Americans have taken time by
the forelock and are here now in the
flesh. One meets them at every turn.
There is no installing them; an Amer
lean mar is an American man wherever
you find him, and our girls have a dis
tinction that marks them even in the
midst of exposition grandeur.
American visitors to the big exposi-
ton are agreeably surprised tofnd tina
a number of American girl art students
have organized a bureau of guides to
the grounds Of the great exhibit. This
is a distinct advance over the plan fol-
lowed during the Worlds fair in Chi
cago, OF having a male guide, who was
not always the most angelic tempered
creature imaginable, and who treated
his charges frequently with as lofty an
air as does a restaurant waiter who has
not received an expected tip.
But now you may be guided about the
grounds by a dainty bit of femininity,
t%astefully gowned, who knows that she
is being paid for being amiable as well
as for being wise; and in many in
stances visitors have been surprised at
the unusual lNI6IllSenCe OF their guides
until it was explained to them that
these young women expect to be among
the famous artists of the future. The
bureau is in charge of Miss Nina Esta-
brook. a clever American girl. in WHOSE
dainty head the plan originated. Need
less to say, it is a success.
The incompletenesS which marred tbs
appearance Of most of the buildings at
the opening of the exhibition is rapidly
being done away with, and many Of the
handsomest examples of architecture
now stand revealed as the architects
planned them, without the unsightly
mask Of scaffOlding. OF the inside Of
some of the buildings, however, another
story must be told-nOtably, the gal
lery Of machinery. Here is a picture
Of chaos. But -unremitting efforts are
being made to have everything ship
shape and Bristol fashion at the ear
Hest possible moment.
The project Of police has issued an
order that no smoking shall be permit
ted within the covered precincts Of the
exhibition. AS a consequence, those
unhappy individuals who are addicted
to cigars, cigarette or pipes, endeavcr to
steal a few whiffs surreptitiously and, IN
a few cases, they have been
before the authorities and hned a small
amount.
Citizens of the United States now in

A person who has chronic catarrhal
difficulties and has not given Peruna
a fair trial, is unfortunate. indeed. To
be afflicted with chronic catarrh III
not try Peruna, is as foolish as to
have the old-fashioned chills and fever
and refuse to try quinine, or to have a
broken bone and not allow the doctor to
set it.
Peruna has come to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for ca
tarrhal affections, acute or chronic,
that it is amazing that anyone should
continue to suffer on with such a per-
sistent malady, neglecting to TAX a
remedy that is sure.

Of course, it may be that many peo-

is strange it should be so after such
multitudes have been cured by it and 50
many papers have heralded it from one
end of the country TO the other. Men
and women Of all ages and rank, the
rich and poor, the learned and illiterate,
are daily giving unsolicited testimony
to the fact that Peruna will cure all

NAVAL OFFICERS WIVES.

CoKent Reasons why Their Presence
May BE Inconvenient at Stations.
"a dispatch in The Star recently with
reference to the presence Of the wives Of
army and navy officers at Manila and Ca
vfte," said a naval officer of high rank
reminds me of a predicament in which
some were placed IN 1875, In the Mediter-
ransan-
"Quite fleet of American war vessels
attached to the European station had rem
dezvoused along the French coast in the
vicinity Of Nice. The officers expected to
remain Indefinitely. making all preparations
for protracted stay. The wives Of sew
eral awaited the arrival of the fleet. Others
were sent for, and quarters at Nice ar
ranged.
Then, like thunder clap in clear sky,
came the news of the capture of the Vir-
ginius by a Spanish man-of-war and the
subsequent execution of hundred odd
Americans by the Spaniards at Santiago de
Cuba. The fleet received dispatches to
make all possible speed for Key West,
where. It will be remembered, this govern
ment concentrated its naval force.
There was CONSERVATION among the off,
GERS whose wives wers ashore, and dismay
among the latter. Many of the officers did
not have the privilege of parting with their
consorts, while the wives of several officers
who had Just arrived or were en- route did
not even see their husbands. In fact, aside
from these sentimental reasons, the situa-
ton was very unfortunate. Many of ths
ladies were insufficiently supplied with
funds, and, until assistance came from other
sources, were in a desperate plight. This
episode will be remembered by those living
OF the officers who were then on that sta
ton. and though the recollection may now
occasion smile. 1t was on the other side
of the face at that time.
"There is every reason why the wives of
naval officers should remain at home dur
