PARIS. Feb. 21.-Some one has said
that Paris is the home of art and the
soubrette. Certainly IT is the artistic
center OF Europe. London. Rome and
Berlin have art institutions for which
they are noted the world over. but
the knight of the easel and brush
turns instinctively to the French cap

tune.
With artists the Paris Salon is the
event of the year. They come from
far and near. Some are well known.
a few are famous, but the great ma
jority are struggling on the lower
rungs Of the ladder, confident that
they are rising and that the day when
they shall arrive is not very far
distant.
The Salon is the event par excel
lence with the American colony,
which, you know, Is made up chiefly
of art students. Here they see the

two questions now confronting the
scale committee in the entire state,
with the exception of the above men
toned remaining matters in the fourth
sub-district and the mine run price for
the second subdistrict. which includes
the Ottumwa Abba and Oskaloosa
fields. The day wage scale and the
mine run price are in the hands of

will be the general resolutions which
follow the scale proper and affect the
state as a whole. These, although,
both parties will ask for some changes

Both miners and operators hope that
this will prove true and all are doing
their best to arrive at satisfactory
agreement.
