THE TROLLEY IN PARIS?
Strenuous Opposition to the Scheme
by Many Citizens.

1t looks as if the trolleys were about
to invade Paris. The omnibus and
bankruptcy: the former lost 1862, 176 this
year, and six out of ten tramway COM
panies have had no dividends, and the
others such small ones that the stock
holders are more than Disguised. All
this is owing to the popularity OF the
Metropolitan, which is taking all their
business, and when the new lines are
completed the surface lines viii not
make cent. There is, however, a good
percentage of Parisians who prefer to
panies are seriously considering the in
PRODUCTION of trolleys as the only way
that they can compete with the
meter" as the underground is pop
ularly called. They will have difficulty,
however. in getting the franchise from
the members of the municipal council,
most of whom have the beauty of the
city at heart, for they know that for
eigners flock to the city and spend their
money here because there is no flaw in
its beauty. and that an aerial network
of wires would mar the appearance of
the city. Such men IS Detaille told
a reporter to put down his adjectives
as strong as he cared to that it was
not possible to think of Paris with that
eternal cobweb hanging over its head !:
that such a mode of transit was simply
barbarous. There are people of an en-
tire street in Paris who have no ad-
dress. Did that ever happen in any
other capital? The street where these
people live simply has no name The
street and houses were built on the
grounds of the old gas works almost
in the heart of the city, and ii is in vain
that the jewellers for the last three
months have gone on their knees be-
seeching the members of the municipal
council to give their street a name But
the inhabitants of the street want to
have it called Rue du General Jean
ningros. after a friend of Deroulede.
and Deroulede is not in good odor with
the government And so the street
goes nameless. The simpler American
custom of numbering streets does not
obtain here at ALL and many of the
street names are cumbersome in the
extreme.-Brooklyn Eagle

PRICE TAGS ON CLOTHES.
A Peculiar Custom Which Would
Seem Suited TO Some Americans.

A peculiar custom of the peasantry
in remote parts of Italy, according to
correspondent is the wearing of price
tags on new dresses and suits of clothes.
While in most countries the custom OBJ
tains of promptly removing such indi-
cations of the purchase price the mo-
ment a garment is bought, rural folk in
Italy take pains to sew them on the
more securely, in order that they may
not drop off accidentally. This prac-
tice is INDUCED in by the more pros
porous peasantry, corresponding to the
well-to-do farmer class of this country
The observer of social conditions may
well ask why this custom of wearing
price marks on clothes has not found
favor in this country, where ostenta-
ton on the part of our new rich" runs
riot. Many a woman of wealth is heard
to complain that her maid servant, on
much smaller outlay, by wearing
cheap but almost perfect limitations of
the original, can present as fashionable
an appearance as herself. The plush
garment Of modish design often looks
as much; paste ornaments cannot be
told from diamonds except by the ex-
pert. Complaint OF the same character
is made by the man who patroniZes an
expensive tailor The great improve
ments effected by the manufacturers
of ready-nade clothing have made it
possible for the $10-a-week clerk to ap-
pear as we'll dressed as his $1.000-a-
week employer. All this is, or course,
most distressing to the person who
wishes to get the worth of his or her
money. What is the use of wearing ex-
pensive clothes If ones neighbors do
not appreciate them? The universal
wearing of price tags would remove
this difficulty, and the woman with a
new 800 gown or $50 hat would derive
twice the satisfaction from wearing
them that she does at present-that is.
provided her neighbors were wearing
nothing better One danger tO he sure
would be the incentive TO prevarication;
I 1t would be .sozeasys to change the fig
ures. But anything would be better
than running. the risk, as at present, of
having a new 500 gown mistaken for

Increasing Capital.

The smaller state banks over the
state are not losing very much time in
increasing their capital stock up to the
minimum required by the new banking
law. 10000 Under the old law a state
bank could be capitalized for $1,000, but
the last Legislature raised the minimum
to $4,000. 1t gave the banks then in
existence until March /. 1905, to in
crease their capital to $4,000 or more.
Bank Commissioner Albaugh says the
banks are not losing much time about
complying with the law, and at the
present rate they will all have a cap
ital of $4,000 or more long before the
required time.
