Electric Trans.
1T is a welcome fact to Londoners that
the London county council will shortly run
all it's trans by electricity. The under
ground railway people have been expert
menting in the same motive power recently,
with the result that we may very soon ex-
pect the introduction of a certain number
of electric engines on the underground
road This will be a boon indeed.
Not many English people have gone to
the Paris exhibition yet, as every one here
understands that 1t Is in an incomplete con-
dition at present. Later on there will
doubtless be a great exodus from the Brit
ish Isles. the feeling against France not be-
ing strong enough to prevent people going
to Paris Even the volunteers. under the
guidance of Sir Howard Vincent, are ar
ranging to go in their thousands in August
next.
The cold weather here has kept visitors
away and London is not SO crowded as
usual at this season of the year. Amert-
cans who generally begin to fill the hotels
at this time, are few in number compare
lively. But London is bound to be the call
ing place for thousands of Americans on
their way to Paris, and we shall see plenty
of our countrymen later on.

The Pine Tree State Claims a Good

From the Boston Transcript.
Authors night at the Pine Tree State
Club was brilliant event in the history of
that flourishing organization. A similar
evening several years ago, when women
writers Of Maine delighted an enthusiastic
company, is still pleasantly remembered.
At Wednesday nights meeting Daniel C.
Heath, the president, paid tribute to native
Maine authors and spoke Of others who had
written world-famous words within the bor
ders of Down East fundamentally Long

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
Now that open cars are in general use
again, few remarks about common-sense
etiquette in connection with their use may
not be amiss. So much selfshness, which
in many cases harms most the person dis
playing the selfish streak, is displayed that
1t would be a good step to have some rules
posted for the direction of passengers.
Some of the following points might be
touched upon:
In taking seat move to the left-hand
side. Why compel the next passenger to
climb over one and step upon a favorfte
corn? Women folk especially should note
this rule, not that they are more general
offenders, but If man steps on an open
car from the black slime of an asphalt
street, but lately sprinkled, his shoes are
apt to make some damaging impressions
upon a neat skirt.
Those who object to the smell of tobacco
smoke, whether from a pipe, cigar or cigar
cite, should remember that the last three
seats in the open cars are for smokers, and
they should be left for the smokers. At
least those who occupy them should not
glare at a man enjoying an after-breakfast
cigar or pipe.
Bear in mind that the seats are wide
enough to hold comfortably five passengers
unless, perchance, four of unusual avoirdu-
poiS should be In one seat. They should not
be bothered; but when four of moderate
size are occupying seat they should evince
disposition to move up little to accom-
modate new arrival When a pretty girl
Is looking for a seat even five men will
scrouge up a bit closer to accommodate her.
But there are other cases where politeness
is not SO pronounced. In general, care for
tne rights and comfort of others should
prevail, not only on open cars, but in all
public places. Selfishness is grieyous
fault and 1t looks all the worse in public

Paris Versus Vienna.
Many people compare Vienna with Paris
and there is perhaps a suggestion of the
newer Paris along the Ringstrasse, or the
new part of Vienna. Here are the impos-
ing parliament buildings, the Opera House,
the Hofburg Theater and the Town Hall,
reminding somewhat of the Hotel de
Vile at Brussels. But no place can, to my
mind, present the numerous fine vistas that
Place du Carrousel at the Louvre through
the gardens of the Tuilleries across the
Place de la Concorde and up the beautiful
Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe is,
l think, the finest thing in the way of city
vistas that the capitals of the world can
offer l know of nothing to compare with
it anywhere. The magnificent view up
broad Pennsylvania avenue with the Capitol
In the distance comes the nearest to it.
OF course the national Capitol is a far
grander structure than the Arc de Tri-
omphe and crowns the hill In Washington
in most Imposing fashion. The two are not
comparable In themselves, but am think
ing of the general scene. which has the
same aspect in both cities. Vienna has
nothing of this Sort but presents a grace
full and dgnified appearance. An incom-

Welded ON THE SLY
w. C. Totten and Miss Marie T
Lynch Spring Surprise on
Their Friends.
ROMANCE OF JOLIET EXCURSION
Plans to Keep Affair Quiet Fall
Througa..PopuIar Young
Couple.

The excursion of Rock Island people
to Joliet yesterday was not without at
least one of the pretty little romances
that ordinarily attend q holiday out
ing. the principals of the event being
William c. Totten and Miss Marie T..
Lynch, who were married at O'Clock
in the afternoon by Rev Clarance G..
Reynolds, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church, of Joliet.
1t was. very apparent the couple
sought to have the ceremony solemn
lied without the knowledge of their
friends. They went TO the county
clerks office unattended and then
sought parson. who was requested
not TO be too prompt about making
his return of the license to the county
clerk.
IAN ARGUS reporter. who was on the
excursion, gained the information in
Joliet just before leaving that let
the cat out of the bag. and on
the return trip q party was organized
to hunt up the couple and extend con-
gratulations. Both protested, say
ing that it was all mistake; that they
had not been near the county clerks
office. holding it was merely joke.
The excursionists proffered wedding
presents. but they were rejected with
thanks, the couple stating they could
not accept wedding gifts when there
had been no wedding.
However, when Mr.. Totten was con-
fronted with the complete facts today,
he 'fessed up. 1t was the desire of both
he and his bride to keep the marriage
a secret for awhile, but they had
failed in their plans.
The groom is manager of Totten's
music house and one of the progress
sive and successful young business
men of Rock Island. His bride has
been EN- ployed as bookkeeper at the
Woodmen head Office. She is a
daughter of Mrs Ellen Lynch, 214
Twenty-third street, and an estima-
BILE young lady. The friends of the
happy couple will extend their best
wishes to them in their new life.
Lewis-HagamaD.
Another pleasant surprise was an
nounced today by the mother of the
bride. Mrs. Lewis, of 921 Twenty-first
street. in the marriage of her daugh-
ter, Miss Irene Lewis, to j. Louis
Hagaman, at Springfield, H., yester-
day afternoon.

tive participation is not to prejudice
their personal prospects. 1t is be-
lieved that the great interests of the
country will in this campaign main
tain dignified and impartial attitude,
and that the action of the Baltimore

ment to that effect will be quite gen.
orally followed.
