Women Chief Arblters Of Taste.

In civilized countries and nations
women by tradition and practice are
the chief arbiters of our artistic life,
says A S. Atkinson, NJ D, in the Led
ger Monthly. They give by suggestion
and appreciation the direction and
form which art expression takes. This
Is manifest particularly in the home, in
personal adornment, and in social con-
ditions-the three great artistic forms
of expressions OF a woman's life. Men
are influenced in their appreciation OF
the beautiful in life by these three fac
tors. They learn to accept as the
true standard Of taste what they daily
see in their homes. on the streets, and
In society. UnconscioCsly they are
accepting the cnoice Of mothers wives
and daughters in matters that deeply
concern their culture and mental de-
velopment. The home influence is lost
when the wife makes life mere drudg-
cry in which there Is no artistic ex-
preston or appreciation in the house
hold; likewise she does not stimulate
and attract when her personal adorn-
ment is neglected. and she fails to
make the most of the physical gifts OF
nature.

NORMAL SCHOOLS NOT NEW.
They Originated More Than Two Hun
dred Years AGO In France

They Originated More Than Two Hun.
dred Years Ago In France.
The normal school, now such a firm
ly established feature Of education in
the United States, is not a product Of
this country, but of France. Its orig
inator was Jean Baptiste De La Sale,
who died in 1719, and was canonized
In May, 1900. La Sale was a priest
and dignitary in the cathedral at
Reims, in France. He enjoyed the best
advantages for an education, but his
heart was moved when he saw the
youth OF his city growing up in ignor
ance and vice. He sought to establish
schools for them, but found that there
were no capable teachers To supply
instructors of better class he gath
cred chosen band of young men into
his own house. where he supported and
trained them at his own expense. The
work soon outgrew these accommoda-
tions. and about 1855, with the aid OF
benevolent friends, he established a
normal school to be devoted to train
Ing teachers for elementary schools. A
few years before Demia, a priest of
Lyons, performed similar service,
but soon after his death the enterprise
failed. La Sale gave up his cancnry,
with its honors and liberal income, to
devote himself to his school, BY his
self-sacrifice his school became very
successful, and established notable
system of education but after his
death nothing more was heard Of in
dependent normal schools in France
for nearly a century.

Sugar City Sweets.

Denver. Nov ia Republican spec
cial from Sugar City in Otero county
says that the sugar factory has been
running as smoothly as Il watch ever
since the opening October 10Th. Owing
to improved machinery installed last
summer the extraction of saccharine
this year is 121a per cent. as compared
with 10 per cent. last year. This is the
highest percentage of extraction ON rec
ord. and the officials of the sugar com
pHny are highly clated over their
achievement.
This greatly increased production is
an embarrassment to the supcrintend-
ent of the factory. as the facilities for
handling and storing the product are
inadequate and the sugar is piling up.
This condition will be relieved. howeN-
er. when the new Wareroom. now IN
course of construction. is completed.

THERE MAY BE
TOO MUCH SUGAR

Washington, Nov. 11.-"The obvious
and sustained friendlncss of the
United States government to Cuba, the
impending increase of sugar produc-
tiOn in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines added to the steady and
rapid development of the beet sugar
industry throughout Il large area of
the United States, all point to an in
evitable and definite decline in Euro
pean sugar exports to our country
This statement appears in an inter
csting report from Consul General
Mason. nj Berlin. to the State depart
ment. dated October il. showing the
damage which the sugar production of
Cuba, in particular. is dealing to the
sugar exporters of Europe.
1t is generally recognized, says Mr..
Mason. that the beet sugar industry
of Central Europe is approaching n
critical juncture. Germany. France.

stated. ar" now gathering IL beet crop
which will yield an output of sugar
far surprising in quantity that of any
previous year. Unfortunately for Ger
many. this overwhelming product
comes at time when industrial de-
preston and Il short wheat and rye
crop have seriously reduced the pur-
chasing capacity of the poorer classes.
\ high commercial authority. says Mr..
Mason. estimates the decline in sugar
consumption in Germany during the
fiscal wear of 1902 at 10000 tons
TO complete and still further darken
the shadow" says the consul general.
Cuba has reappeared rs IL vigorous
and threatening competitor in the
United States. which, during the past
years has taken an average of 2Si.HH
metric tons Of German sugar, valued
ut S12.G1 l.Guo per annum."
These conditions. it is stated. have
sent the price of sugar in the contrOll-
ing market at Magdcburg down to the
lowest point reached during the criti-
cal year of 1S9l-95.
Great interest has been awakened
in Germany. says Mr.. Mason. by til"
recent visit TO Washington of Goy"rnor
General Wood of Cuba. and the con
viction is growing that. nolwithStand
ing all doubts and suspicious. Cuba is
really about to begin the career of an
independent state. under the generous
and sympathetic protection of the
United States and under conditions
which will favor the development of
the sugar industry of the island to Il
point beyond the highest productive
ness of former years.

Chicago, April 25.-Bound for Eu-
rope. with a cargo of agricultural
implements, packing house products
and miscellaneous manufactures, the
steamer Northwestern drew out of
the Chicago river, and headed for the
Atlantic. Thus Chicago becomes an
ocean port. While several vessels
have come direct from Europe to this
city, none has made a successful trip
from this port across the Atlantic,
though efforts to do SO have been
made. In each instance. however, dis
sAter has overtaken the enterprise.
A Large Crowd to See Her start.
There was large crowd to see the
Northwestern start, and as good
omen the weather was beautiful. The
master OF the Northwestern is Capt.
Atkinson. When he departed his

FAIR WORKERS. BANQUET.
Tribute to the Men Who Have
Made the Exposition Possible.

ST. Louis, April 25.-The effort. the
anxiety and toll of long days work.
felt halfway across the continent.
with responsive echoes from all over
the union, came TO a close, Tuesday
night, when the toilers in an historic
enterprise and those who were ASSOC
GATED with them assembled at the
Planters hotel for banquet. the
equal of which, in gorgeousness and
laborateness. has never been record
ed in the annals of the city. The elo-
quent tongue, the massive brain. the
tneless arm, the best of these the ma
ton affords, We're present, in token OF
the fact that the Louisiana Purchase
exposition is fact which will be
recorded in the history of the world
as monumental achievement.
The banquet was a fitting tribute
TO able men by able men. The Busi-
ness Mems league of st. Louis con-
ceived and executed the idea of paw
ing tribute in this guise to those who.
with themselves, have added to the
greatness of great city.
Held as il was ON the, eve of the
final step in the incorporation of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co.
and the organization of the national
commission. a wave of enthusiasm
swept over the gathering. No shadow
or doubt was left in the minds of the
commissioners or any of the guests of
the earnestness and zeal prevalent in
ST. Louis. and the tremendous power
back of the Worlds fair movement.
Topics of living interest were dis
cussed eloquently by the speakers of
the evening. The speakers from diff
ferent parts of the United States told
OF the manner in which the people of
their states looked upon the enter
prise. The prospects of the fair were
discussed, and local conditions were
compared with those of other great
cities where Worlds fairs have been
held

THE TEN PER CENT. ASSESSMENT PAID IN
The Enterprisr Fairly Launched by
Grand Banquet rendered by the
Business Mems League of st.
Louis to the National Com mission
and other Workers.

ST. Louis. April 25.-The Louisiana
Purchase Exposition company is in
corporated. ibis important event
took place Tuesday evening. just be-
fore five o'clock. and the incorporn
ton papers we're put at once on their
Nvay to jefferson City, in the care of
Attorney Stanley Stoner. The work
preliminary to this began Monday,
but no one inside of those direct V
concerned We're made acquainted
with the process by which it was cx-
pected to effect the Incorporation UNI
til twas practically accomplished. The
fact that many shareholders were
slow to respond to requests for pay
ment of ten per cent. on their shares
has been cause of some concern to
those who have been unceasing in
their efforts TO keep the immense
project constantly on the move. The
date of the meeting of the national
commission approached, and still the
amount necessary to Incorporation
was not forthcoming.
In consequence, Mr.. W. III. Thomp-
son, chairman of the finance commit
tee, in order to meet the national
commission with the local work in a
completed state, issued. Monday. a
letter to all the directors whose cleo
ton was recently published. In this
communication he asked for the vol
nntary advance on the part of the
directors of 81 900 each. in order that
the Incorporation might be consum-
mated The response was prompt
and creditable to the gentlemen to
whom the appeal had been made. The
sum which was lacking was in hand
in time for the incorporation papers
to be in the hands of the function
aries of the city hall by 4:45. where
they were recorded and prepared for
their journey to Jefferson City.
Attorney Stanley Stoner He'd the
papers, and then left for Jefferson
City to deliver them personally The
company was incorporated with a cap
ttal stock of $4,000. 600, with 600.o0G
shares of $40 each.
The incorporators of the Worlds
Fair company. in addition to the
board of directors. chosen by vote Of
the stockholders, are as follows:
