communication with the Herald office in
New York, and practically edits his paper
by cable. Mr.. Bennett keeps up his estab-
lishment here whether he is in the city or
not. The servants are always in full dress
and always on duty. II you call at the
house you will be Informed that they do
not know II Mr.. Bennett is in, and they will
go of to find out. A moment later you may
be told he is in Nice, or Cairo, or off on his
yacht in some other part of the world. The
Figaro speaks very highly of Bennett, call
ing France the land Of his adoption, and
saying that he is the friend Of all Parisidns,
and that all are his friends. One Of the
queerest Of the newspapers published in
France is the Paris edition of the New York
Herald. 1t is like nothing in England or
America, being devoted chiefly to French
and continental society news. | understand
that Mr.. Bennett is as much interested in
II as in his great paper in New York, and
that he is kept advised of all that appears
in 1t. The Paris paper is circulated freely
over the country, and copies Of 1t are sent
gratuitously to all American consuls and
ministers, as we'll as to the chief clubs Of
the world. The paper sells for 20 confines
in Paris and for 2 pence in England.
There is an American chamber OF COM
meTce In GarlS Wnlcn is becoming very I'M
portant to American trade. 1t has its on
ces in the Rue Scribe, just back Of the
Grand hotel, and under the shadow of the
Grand Opera house, in the very heart OF
business Paris. The chamber was founded
eight years ago with ten members, and It
has now 232. embracing the leading Ameri-
cans Of the French capital. It's business is
TO further commercial and industrial rela-
tions between the United States and France,
and to investigate all matters bearing upon
American trade, 1t holds regular meetings
publishes an annual report and issues bull
letins every two weeks with all items Of in,
terest regarding Franco-American com
merce. The chamber has a library Of 1 200
volumes and a reading room we'll supplied
with American newspapers, and especially
with our trade journals.
The president is Mr.. Francis Kimbel. ant
the secretary Mr.. Edward Green. l find the
chamber OF commerce a valuable repository
of American and French statistics, and an
Indebted to its secretary, Mr.. Green, fol
valuable assistance regarding the American
invasion. In talking with me today h

said that the United States now stands
about second in the French import trade
and fifth in the export trade. We are sup
plying France with about 6R per cent Of it's
imported foodstuffs, and about 7 per cent
Of the imported manufactured articles.
l asked Mr.. Green to give me what cur
chief French exports were. He replied:
1.-The principal ones are cotton, copper.
petroleum, tobacco, tallow and lumber. In
1900 we sold France more than $27, 900, 90
worth of cotton, almost Sc, 200, 900 worth of
tobacco, and more than 1880, COO worth of
oil. Our copper exports amounted almost
to $12, 900, 900, and our sales of machines
and machinery is more than 81, 900 900. We
sold it over 1000, 900 worth OF meat, al
most S., COO, 900 worth OF lumber and 81, OOO.-
600 worth of grain and -four. The total cx-
ports in that year were almost $92, 900, 900,
according to the French figures, and this is
under the real amount, as many of the
goods come in through England, and are
accredited to that country,
I'm addition to the articles / have men
toned there are many others which We
sell in large quantities. The Americans
have a good trade in tools, furniture and
hides. They sell dried apples for cider.
India rubber goods. feathers for hats and
millinery, canned Holsters and a large
amount OF chemical products
81 look for a considerable increase In
American trade" continued Mr.. Green,
when our new treaty goes into effect.
This treaty was signed in July, 1899. aud
it is to be ratified on the gath OF next
September. By It our raw materials are
to be admitted on the payment of minimum
duties and the United States makes a re-
duction on French imports OF silk, cotton
and linen goods and also on articles de
luxe from Paris, food manufactures
glass, metal and paper wares. This
will bring in our breadstuffs under
a much lower rate Of duty than they are
now paying and we will be able to
compete more successfully in these
respects with other countries. In the past
France has had reciprocal treaties with
England and Belgium, so that their goods
have come in under the minimum tariff,
while We have had to pay the maximum
tariff. Indeed, more than eleven million
dollars in duties were paid on our exports
to France in the year 1900.

society crowd, living chiefly in the Latin
quarter and having a little world of its
own, The colony is large, consisting of
both artists and students. Every salon has
its American pictures and the American
artists stand well and not infrequently
take hcnOrs. This is so both of women
and men.
Paris has now a society of American
painters, established to advance the inter
csts of its American artists, and among
lis members are such men as Bridgman.
Story, MacEwan, Weeks, Edwin Abbey.
John 5, Sargent and others. There is
also an American Art association COM
posed of both artists and students. The
president Of this is Rodman Wanamaker.
the son of John Wanamaker, and among
its sustaining members are General Horace
Porter, the United States ambassador. and
Mr.. John X. Gowdy, our consul general.
Many Of our artists are married and live
in Paris with their families. Some are
rich, but many are very poor. This is
especially so Of students, many of
whom come here under the mistaken idea
that they possess genius, only to struggle
along for years on the edge of starvation
and then give up in despair.
There are many Americans here studying
music and not a few who have decided
talent. Among those who are now attract
ing considerable attention is a young girl
from Texas, who has just made a contract
to sing in the Opera Comique, and another
is Miss Bessie Abbott, who has a two
years contract for star parts in the Grand
opera house, Miss Abbott has a fine So
prano voice and the French have. as it
were, adopted her as one of their great ar
lists. The Grand opera house, as you know,
ranks at the top Of the opera houses Of the
world. 1t is an honor for an artist to sing
in 1t upon any terms and for an American
girl to have a long contract at the start
for leading parts means fame and for
tune.
The Paris opera house is wonderfully
beautiful. 1t cost a million dollars more
than our national library building at Wash
ington and 1t covers as much ground as the
national capitol. 1t is to a certain extent
a government institution and has soldiers
in uniform and policemen on guard at the
entrance, Full dress is expected in most
OF the seats and the patrons Of it are
among the richest and most fashionable
of the French capital.

To Observe Mckinley Day.

Governor Herried to-day received a tele-
gram from Hon. William Il. Day, presi-
dent Of the Mckinley Memorial asso
citation, asking that proclamation be is.
sued declaring January 30 to be legal
holiday and that it be observed by ap.
propriate exercises over the state, and
that collection be taken up on that
day for the Mckinley memorial fund.
AS September 10 was so designated by
the governor as a day for such exercises
and the state has raised its quota for the
memorial fund, such action will not be
taken, but Governor Herried requests
the teachers of all the schools of the
state to prepare q short patriotic pro
gram for that day, without any special
proclamation TO that effect.

Bad Fuse.

The accident which occurred at the
Wabash mine last Tuesday was (accord-
ing to all the testimony caused by a
section Of defective fuse. This fuse was
made and sold by the National Fuse
Company of Denver, and we have heard
of other similar premature explosions
which have occurred to miners in the
Hills while using fuse of their make.
Are they unloading their poor, unreli.
able, condemned fuse on to our trusting
miners to blow them into eternity be-
fore their time?
We know Mr.. John F. Sidey, the
manager Of the Wabash mine, and we
know that he is careful and liberal
man, and that he always intends to buy
the best of everything, and never stops
for expenses where the comfort and
safety of his men are concerned.
We also know that the foreman at the
mine. Mr.. Joseph Pyne, has the reputa-
ton of being an efficient and first-class
miner, has had charge of many mines
and was born and raised among the
mines of Cornwall. The miners en-
ployed in the shaft they are sinking, are
all bright men who have spent their
whole life working in the mines of this
and the old country. 1t can not be said
that these men do not understand their
business, but they must rely upon the
man that makes their fuse, and this time
it seems they have been made the vic
TINS of misplaced confidence with sad
and pitiful result.

Billy Peterson's Return

Most everybody in the southern Black
Hills is acquainted with Billy Peterson,
the old time prospector 1t will be remem,
bered that Billy had the misfortune to
fall down stairs one very dark night
some two months ago in Custer. That
fall came pretty near winding up Billy's
ball Of yarn. His brothers came and
took him to CHEYENNE and left him in
care Of his mother, who nursed him as
only mothers know how to nurse. Well
Billy is back again on his old stamping
ground. He looks somewhat weak YET
and faded, but says he is gaining every
day and is still in the ring. He says
the concusion still affects his eyes some
and we notice that he "looks a little
sideways for Sunday" but he is all right
and we are glad to welcome him back.
