BASIS OF FUTURE WARS.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew Declares
His Belief That They Will
BE Commercial

Senator Chauncey NJ Depew, who is
in Paris, is quoted in a New York
journal and Advertiser dispatch as
saying: "fhe basis of future wars is
commercial. Commercial competition
eNcites the passions as competitive
prowess in other departments. Ger
many is now our most hostile com
petitor, The conclusion is obvious:
The issue is to be fought on the sea;
hence the newspapers that are advo-
eating mighty navy are doing most
patriotic work.
continental Europe entertains hos
tility against the United States. Eng
land does not, but we do not recipro-
cate her sympathetic feeling. Not
Wlthstanding commercial competition,
all classes there believe that if the
country were in jeopardy we would
come to it's assistance.
France will not become very hos
tile, for most of her products are con-
sumed by her own people. Austria
seeks market for her surplus and
is influenced by Germany. italy will
stand with her allies. The difficulty
with Russia will be settled by our adj
ministration.
The hostility against us in the va
rlous countries of continental Eu-
rope differs only in degree. Never
theless an industrial alliance against
us is impossible. The countries could
not agree as to percentage. We are
their best customer and could retail
ate"

promoters of Institution There Given
hand Formerly Granted to Peo-
pies University.

The promoters of the scheme to
found Hull House in Paris have
been granted the use of the land
formerly given to the projected Peo-
pies university. It is believed the
movement modelled on the Chicago So
cial settlement plan will replace the
university scheme, which has no..
been success.
Ernst Lavisse, of the Sorbonne and
Georges Picot, of the institute, are
among the trustees. The preliminary
work is in charge of Rev, jacques
Eardoux and Henry Lamarc, of Chi
cago. The latter is familiar with the
work of Hull House, and has been of
great assistance. He predicts that
the enterprise will pay five per cent
on the investment.
New York and Chicago architects
will be invited to compete for designs
of the buildings.

FORTUNATE CALAMITY JANE.
Noted Frontier woman Hunted Up
by Buffalo Authoress ana
Given n Home.

Mrs. Josephine Winfield Brake, of
Buffalo. ~ ", authoress and news
paper correspondent, has been in Mon
tana searching for Calamity Jane"
the noted plainswoman. The other
day Mrs. Brake discovered Calamity
Jane in the hut of negress at Horr,
near Livingston. The woman was suf-
fering with fever, and was broken in
spirit. The scene that followed the
offer of Mrs. Brake to take Calamity
10 her own home in Buffalo, where she
could spend the remainder Of her days
in comfort, was pathetic, and the noted
frontierswoman wept like child.
Calamity Jane has been on the from
tier since she was young gir,. She
was in the Black Hills at the time of
the killing of Wild Bill civilian Kick
ok, and It is said that ii was she who
captured his murderer She rendered
valuable service TO Custer, Reno, Egan
and other Indian fighters.
OF late years she has drifted about
the state from place to place, making
a livelihood as best she could. During
the last coupe of years she has been
i'll a considerable portion Of the time.
The newspapers printed columns about
her, and through this means the at
tention of Gen. Egan and many other
friends of the woman was called to
her plight. The result was that Mrs.
Brake took the step mentioned. The
two women have left Livingston for
Buffalo.
Calamity Jane is about so years old.
Her maiden name was Canary, and she
is said to be from New York. The last
man she married was drayman of
Livingston named Burk.
