PARIS. March D, 1900
The beautiful Champs Elysees is no lon
ger disfigured by the shabby facade of the
old Palace of Industry. The structure has
been auctioned off as old brick and mortar
for a mere trif1e, and the wreckers have
carted away the materials from the hand
some thoroughfare that leads from the
Place de la Concorde to Napoleon's great
arch of triumph" Promenaders are now
provided with fresh perspective. and it is
feast to the eyes to gaze upon the golden
dome of the Invalides from afar and on the
two new palaces of solid stone, which. in
centuries to come, will tell to future gen.
erations the tale Of the great fair of 1900
The exposition annex at Vincennes is
now nearly ready. This vast stretch of
lend. including in its area the pretty Lake
Daumesnil, will be the home of three i'm
portant groups included in the vast pro-
gram of the exposition managers. These
gicups are sporting events, transportation
and certain branches of social science.
Great interest is felt in the transpnrta-
ton display. Europeans nave heard so
much about American railways that they
will inspect closely whatever is sent here
from across the Atlantic. Competition may
arise from quarters where least expected.
France Possesses the fastest train on rec
oId-the daily express rapid, that
makes the run from Paris to Calais. dis
lance of 1S5 miles, in three hours and forty
five minutes. The comfort of American
cars has been extolled over here that
Russia. Austria and Hungary are going to
show the world what they can do in the
same direction.
Hungarian Snow pIows.
Again, in these countries, as in America
snow interferes very materially at times
with railroad traffic. NJ. Fletzer. the chief
engineer of the Hungarian state railway,
has invented an improved system of OPEN
ing up way through the deepest drifts for
entire trains-an appliance which casts the
snow on one side SO effectually that it is
impossible for the road to get blockaded
until another heavy downfall takes place
This appliance is in the shape of an i'm
mense spoon which is placed in front of
the engine to throw the snow aside, for use
in the lighter falls of the beautiful" and
rotary machine somewhat similar to the
enc used in the United States. which cuts
its way through harder and deeper drifts.

Model workfngmen's Homes.

The section at ViHcennes devoted to So
cial economy and hygiene comprises a
series of five workingmen's homes such as
exist at the present day in the large man
ufacturing centers of Belgium, Germany,
England, Austria and in Switzerland. These
five houses will be typical exhibits and are
worthy of a visit from all persons inter-
ested in the welfare of the working classes.
The materials of which they are con-
structed. the furniture, the household uten-
sis. the plumbing arrangements, ETC., have
all been supplied by the countries named.
Each of these five houses was built by
workmen brought especially to Paris for
this purpose from their respective countries
An interesting comparative study is thus
provided. Il is now to be regretted that
the American commissioners did not carry
out their original idea of erecting a work
mans cottage at Vincennes. Such build
ing would have no difficulty in securing
either the first prize or at least equal
honors with the best of the others
The buildings of the Invalides section of
the fair are now completed and all that re-
mains to be done Is the gardening. As the
grounds have been pretty well covered with
structures very little space remains for the
Aoral decoration.

NJ Fletzer will likewise show a complete
set of portable walls and hedges, which are
set up at the outset of the winter at points
where drifting causes the NEST trouble.
The heavy trains, with their new ap-
pliances. will be on view at Vfncennes in
one immense international covered railway
station, measuring 100 feet long by 400 feet
broad. Close by these exhibits will be the
automobiles and the bicycles. The entire
annex will be lighted at night by .acstylene
gas. All the full-sized exhibits at Vinceu-
mes will likewise be displayed in miniature
by models in the transportation and civil
engineering palace on the Champ de Mars.
The collection of models of yachts from the
United States will likewise make very at
tractive exhibit in the transportation build

The Telephone Question.

The telephone question then came
up, the pending business in this line
being the ordinance of the National
Company on it's second reading. A
determined effort was made to lay this
ordinance aside until the Home anc
Citizens ordinances had been read a
first time, but this failed, after sharp
fight, by a vote of nine ayes to fourteen
nays, and the reading of the National
ordinance was proceeded with. This
was looked upon by many as a test
vote. The reading proceeded without
interruption until Sec. was reached,
when Mr.. Caldwell offered an amend
ment giving the city the right to use
the conduits of the company for cleo
trio light wires, in addition to wires
for other purposes, therein specified.

The board of directors of the West
Virginia Humane Society held their
regular monthly meeting last evening
at the office of White & Allen and
transacted the usual amount of rou-
tine business. Contrary to expecta-
tons, the matter in regard to securing
new home for the society in order
to afford better provisions for unfor-
tunate persons requiring their atten-
ton, was not under consideration at
the meeting. 1t is not at all improb-
able, however, that steps will be taken
toward securing permanent institu-
ton for the society for such purposes.
The proposed home will be located in
this city or vicinity.

Stomach troubles are SO conn
mon and In most cases so obstin-
ate to cure that people are apt to
look with suspicion on any reme-
dy claiming to be radical, per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and In
digestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged
can be carried too far, SO far, in
fact, that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather
than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable
and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one import
ant respect from ordinary propri-
etary medicines for the reason
that athey are not a secret patent
medicine, no secret Is made of
their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden
Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
They are no cathartic, neither do
they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the
only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and
never can cure indigestion and
stomach troubles because they act
entirely on the bowels, whereas
the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That
is all to there is to it. Food not
digested or half digested is poison
as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart,
loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists ev-
erywhere at so cents per package.

Eighteen members answered to their
names in the Second Branch, President
Maxwell in the chair. while in the
upper house Mayor Sweeney welded
the gavel, with ten members in their
seats. The opening of the session was
delayed somewhat by couple of
committee meetings, and later on, in
the Second Branch, Clerk O'Brien
commenced to read minutes extending
back to the middle of last December,
which did not tend to expedite the
progress of events. There was quite
a large lobby present, among whom
members of the Bar were conspicuous.
Among counsel, interested in the var
ious telephone propositions, were
Messrs. John Arbenz, Jr., John A.
Howard, S. o. Boyce, the Messrs.
Caldwell, F. P. Mcneil and others.
The Ministerial Federation of
Churches was represented, and so was
the political end of the community.
While the reading of the minutes
was in progress in the Second Branch,
Mr.. Ross T. Chew attempted to stop
it, but was ruled out of order. When
the first installment had been conf
cluded, Mr.. Caldwell moved to fill the
vacancy on the Sixth ward delegation,
occasioned by the resignation of Mr..
Gaus, whereupon Mr.. Chew moved to
adjourn. The chair ruled the motion
out of order when Mr.. Caldwell re-
newed it by moving to suspend the
rules and fill the vacancy. Mr.. Chew
demanded that the resolution be re-
duced to writing, under the rules, and
again moved to adjourn. amid cries
of Take your seat" MIR. Chew said
something about slot machines, and
charged that Republicans had sneaked
out of the hall. The chair said he
knew nothing about absentees, and
had ordered that no one should be al
lowed to leave. Mr.. Chew again
moved to adjourn. There was no
second, and Mr.. Caldwell submitted his
motion in writing, when Mr.. Chew
demanded a roll call. Mr.. Healy said
the motion was only to delay bust
ness. The resolution was adopted,
ayes II, noes l, the latter Mr. Chew.
Mr.. Caldwell nominated Thomas
Burke and MIR. Chew nominated Burk
Mcconnell. The vote stood: Burke,
CD, 10; Mcconnell, (R.), 8, Mr..
Bradbury voting with the Democrats.
MIR. Burke was declared elected, but
was not sworn in, as he was not in the
house.

read, as follows:

The amendment ~ agreed to. HI.
Caldwell offered an amendment ID Sec.
"a, inserting the words and long
distance, telephone system, and Mr..
Korn moved to change the annual
rental from $40 for business houses and
$50 for residences, to $50 for business
houses and $50 for residences. Tho
first question was on Mr.. CaldWelps
proposition, and it was agreed to- On
Mr.. Korn's proposition Mr.. Kindelber-
ger asked If the Company could furn-
ish long distance phone at that price.
This was replied to in various ways by
various members, Mr. Chew saying that
in a neighboring town the Bell system
sold at $l2, S14 and SIG. The debate
continued some time, and finally Mr..
Korn's resolution was lost, ayes L.,
noes IL. Mr.. Caldwell then moved to
insert $36 and $24, instead of $40 and
$50, and Mr.. Kindelberger asked to
hear from representative of the Com
pany. Mr.. Chew objected, and the
motion was adopted. Mr..Chew offered
an addition to Sec. IL providing that
if the Company made any combination
or sold out, its franchise should be
revoked by that act, and it's plant for
feited to the city and confiscated by 1t.
This was understood to come from the
Company, and was agreed to. When
the reading was concluded Mr.. Miller
moved to lay the measure on the table
temporarily. This led to some little
comment, and the ayes and noes were
demanded and ordered. The vote re-
suited ayes 7, noes 16. Korn then
moved to postpone further action un-
til the next meeting, and this was lost
on viva vOce vote. The amendments
offered were agreed to as a whole, and
then the ordinance was read by its
title and passed, ayes 16, noes THE
necessary two-thirds majority. The
roll call was as follows: Ayes
Messrs. Beckett, Bloomfield, Bradbury,
Chew, Caldwell, Fitzsimmons, Healy,
Kindelberger, Kurtz, Maurer, Marsch-
ner, Radcliffe, Ritter, Watson, Weisger-
Der and Ziegler-16. Noes-Messrs.
Fair, Kalbitzer, Killeen, Korn, Long.
Miller and Scheehle-7.
In the First Branch action was de-
ferred to the next meeting on motion
by StrobeI.
When this information was brought
to the Second Branch it was determln-
ed to reconsider the vote by which the
report of the Ordinance Committee had
been returned to the committee as inn
properly reported. The clerk announce
ed that printed copies Of the Federal
Company's ordinance had not been
furnished, and that therefore it coulc
not be read. The ordinance of the
Home Company was then read first
time. Mr.. Caldwell objected to the
second reading and some debate result
ed over what the fact was. 1t was de-
cided the objection was valid and the
measure went over.
The Citizens ordinance was also OBJ
jected to by Mr.. Chew, after first
reading.

Mr.. Healy Makes A Point.

When the report of the Fire Com
mite was read, Mr.. Healy called at
tention to the fact that there was an
extraman in the department not au-
thorized by law, and moved to refer
the matter to the City Solicitor for re-
port. Mr. Chew interrupted with a
peremptory motion to pay the bill,
which brought an emphatic protest
from Messrs. Healy and Korn, the lat
ter saying the Councilmen were chos-
en- by the people to look after the
interests of the citizens, and if they
refused to do so, they might as well
have no Council On standing vote,
Mr.. Healy's motion was lost by vote
of 10 to TO- On the adoption of the
report as whole, the vote stood ayes
u, noes 10. Mr.. Healy, before the
vote was announced, called attention
to the fact that the item he had OBJ
jected to was illegal, and there would
probably be some further proceedings.
