ALONE IN PARIS.

A too familiar story is told again Ill a recent cable dispatch. A young American girl, who has gone to Paris to study art, found herself at the end of her resources and cound get no aid from home. Destitute and starving, she sought out a fellow student, q young countryman, from whom she might make a loan. She found his Ill in his garret, without attendance and as poor as she. The girl sold what lit tie belongings were left to her and re turned to nurse the young man, and when he recovered from his illness they were married. But they had spent all they had and were alone in the great capital without means and without prospects, So the two poor creatures closed the windows and door, turned on the gas and died.
 Every year some American students in Paris are driven to suicide or to crime and others make their way home broken and disappointed; and still the foolish moths will hutter about the flame. The evil is grow ing less, because young men and wo- men are slowly finding out, from the example of successful painters. that it is not necessary to go abroad to study art Any artist painter, sculptor, musician-will tell the stu dent that the time to go to Europe is after the technic has been acquired, and that there are nowhere as good schools for technical instruction as i'll the United States But the old tra- dition still fingers and a constant stream of young Americans still go to Paris, most of them to fail, and many to make shipwreck of character and life.
 If a girl has rich parents or friends to take care of her. sf.e can waste her 1 time in Paris as well as elsewhere. Under any other conditions it is crim- l inal to send an American girl to study 1 i'll Paris or to allow her to go. There i is no provision for her in the complex organization of that great city. There ] is nothing that she can gain there that can i'll any way begin to compen-
 -ate for the loneliness: the discomfort, i the peril of it all. Young men can
 usually take care of themselves, but
 girl cannot, and unless she becomes
 an object of charity tle best luck she
 can have is to get money enough to pay her passage home before she has paid too dearly for her experience Philadelphia Times.

Boer Leaders CoaferrfnE With ths
 Different Comm mandos.

 PRETORIA May 1.-In pursuance of an understanding reached by the Boer delegates at the conference recently held here the delegates are busy visit ing the. .bllrghers in the field.
 General Botha, the Transvaal com- mander in chief; Acting President Schalkburger of the Transvaal, General Delarey, General Lucas Meyer, com mander in chief of the Orange Free State forces; Secretary of State Reitz of the Transvaal, Mir. Steyn, ex-presi- dent of the Orange Free State, and General De Wet have each taken a sep arate district for the purpose of con- ferring with the commandos as rapidly as possible.

Last Rites over morton's Remains.

Last Rites Over Morton's Remains.
 NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., May l. 1t was a sorrowful procession that followed the remains of J. Sterling Morton to the final resting place at Wyuke cemetery. The streets were lined with people, who stood in re- spectful silence while the procession, headed by guard of honor, passed through the downtown streets. Dur ing the latter part of the day shops were closed, and people took advan- tage of an opportunity to view the re- mains as they lay in state at the Pub lie library. That building was draped in black, relieved only by profusion of palms and ferns banked around the casket. MT. Morton always had been popular with the children, and 100 of them paid their tribute before the casket was removed to the family home

THE CONDUCTORS JOKE.
szought He Had Done Very Clever Thing, But Found Himself Out
 of Pocket.

One of the former street car con- ductors of Washington was known as Fatty because Of his tendency to an abnormal development of adiposestis- sue. Every body who rode with him liked him, says the Star. Like many of the other conductors on the line, Fatty had been greatly annoyed by men who would get on his car and tender him ten-dollarI note from which to deduct the fare. Of course, the conductor could not make the change and the man got his ride free. At last, however, Fatty" determined that he would teach at least one of these lesson. So one morning before starting out on his run he went to the cashier and got from him ten dollars in pennies. A few days later a man boarded the car and handed Fatty a ten-dollar note. Fatty" spoke not word, but went straight to the corner of the ear where he had deposited the bag containing the pennies and, ab- stracting five of them, handed the balance to the passenger.
 The latter protested that he did not want that kind of change, but Fatty Insisted that he could not do any bet ter and the passenger accepted the bulky package with the best grace he could under the circumstances. 'Fat- ty" felt good all day over what he had done and after his days work he was recounting to some of his colleagues at the conductors room at the barn how he had gotten ahead of the ob- noxious passenger
 All of sudden the cashier called out:
 ".Fatty,' did you turn in this ten dollar note?"
 "Yes,r was the reply .sWell, you will have to make 1t good" said the cashier. 'It is coun- terfeit."

THE LANGUAGE TEST

An immigration official during the course of a lecture at the Rifles ar mory the other evening, says the Washington Times, was exhibiting types of arrivals at the Ellis Island immigration station in New York. He told of fellow on a ship, one day, whose face and makeup were such that the inspection officers could not for the life of them determine the par ticular country whence he came He was accosted in turn by linguists in Italian, German, Slavak, Scandinavia an, Greek and Finnish. Not less than twenty-two different tongues and dialects were tried on the new ar rival, who looked as though he might have hailed from any one of the colln- tries where those languages are spok- en, but he didn't say a word, just stood and stared at the officers who were interrogating him.
 Finally he turned to them and ex- claimed; For the love of heaven, is there anybody around here who can speak English?
 We once heard Judge A NJ. Kelley narrate q somewhat similar experis ence he had while on the bench in the international court at Cairo. After a witness whose nationality was q puzzle had been addressed in French. Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian and Arabic, and failed to make any response except to indicate by shaking his head that he did not understand. Judge Kelley turned to a brother judge and remarked sotto yoce: T wonder what language the idiot does speak, anyhow"

It is in the shape of pill, and man can carry several homicidal sprees in his vest pocket and keep ec- ptasy with him during the long and otherwise eXhausting hours at the theaters. The pills are compressed whisky, treated something like liquid hydrogen, and otherliquefactions that Ire read about in chemistries and nev- IT seen. because it is of no use to see them, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE COMING ELECTION

The importance of the coming elec-
tion in Pennsylvania has been called 10
the attention of the Republican voters OF
Butler county number OF times and as
the day of election approaches the need
of active work on the part of every Re
publican interested in the success OF the
party is apparent. That Butler county
will give big majority for the entire
Republican ticket there can be no
doubt. The largest majority in the his
tory of the county is desired, Pennsyl-
yania, the strong Republican state OF
the Union, should show its confidence
in the administration of President
Roosevelt by giving the entire ticker
from the state down rousing majority.
The Republican party Of Butler county
stands today undivided and strong for
every candidate of the party; but be-
caus. of this fact there is likely to be
apathy among many Of the Republicans
who should be using their efforts to
make the majority in Butler county a
record breaking one.

At Harrisburg last Friday Judge
Simonton filed decision declaring in
valid the certificate purporting to nomi-
nate E. F. Acheson for Congress in the
Twenty district, composed of
Beaver, Lawrence and Washington
counties The decision was quite sur
prise, as it was confidently expected
that the Court would support the Ache
son certificate.
The pivotal point of the case was the
conference held in Pittsburg last Febru-
ary, when a rule was adopted providing
| for the nomination of Congressman in
the district by poplar vote. The Court
decided that this rule was not binding
upon Beaver county, which was unrep'
| resented at the conference, and that the
nomination Of Acheson, made without
the concurrence and consent Of Beaver
| county, cannot stand.
The decision leaves the Republicans

date. Achesons name will appear on
