90. the center of A typical french Chno'
which is Notre Dame cathedral.
Altogether there are in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 French in this city, and
of this number much more than two
thirds are of Canadian stock. Judged
by comparison with other foreign
people who inhabit the poorer sections
of the city they are most desirable
citizens. They are quiet and industri-
Gus and the majority of the men are
skilled artisans. 1t is easy to tell when
one enters the confines of French
Canadian colony because of the neat
ness that surrounds their homes. In
them are no dirty windows, and but
few whose panes are not covered with
dainty white curtains, cheap to be sure,
but clean, while the window lodges and
the miniature yards, when they have
one, is a mass of flowers throughout
each summer.
BY example they instill desire for
better things in other classes of the
foreign population. The Italians, the
Jews, the Greeks and host of other
people from the nations of both Eu-
rope and Asia, including not few
Servians, copy their flower gardens,
their clean windows, their white cur
tains, and by so doing make of them
selves better citizens and genuine
Americans with American ambitions
of their children.
But they cling tenaciously to the Gus
toms of the fatherland Their children
are educated at the parish schools,
and often the only English they know
is that picked up promiscuously by as
ISOLATION. It takes more than one
generation to make Americans of these
people, but they are desirable citizens
when they cross our borders.
The eastern provinces of Canada are
sending into the United States each
year a large number of these French
Canadians, who, in way, take the
place of the immigrants western Can
ada is drawing from this country.

sessed of nearly half a million dollars
clear of all indebtedness when he died.
When Reed retired from congress
he was poor man. If he had died then
his widow would have been left with
the old-fashioned house in Portland
and that is about all; for he lived fully
up to his income ever since he had
been in Washington.
AS speaker he had salary of $4,000.
AS consulting counsel for the National
Board of Fire Underwriters he had an
annual income of about $1,000. For
occasional magazine articles he re-
ceived $500 apiece; and he may have
averaged four of these year. A lib
eral estimate of his income was ST., 900,
for he had practically no law practice
while in congress. Every cent of this
went to the cost of existence in Wash
ington; although Reed never lived ex-
travagantly and had simple tastes.
He no sooner arrived in New York
than the rich men with whom he asso-
ciated began to put him into things,
and under their guidance he bought
stocks surely and conservatively. 1t
would not have surprised some of his
friends if his estate had inventoried a
million d ollars; but the general under
standing was that he left about $780,
O0O
Reed was longing to get back to
Washington. New York always seemed
to him like a huge mining camp-a
place to make money, and nothing else.
Had he lived another week he would
have had his family settled in Wash
ington, and he was prepared to enjoy
thoroughly an irresponsible leisure.
But fate ordained that it should not
be.

MT. nope, whose ton CoS1Esa.
real name is Hawkins, is nea4iv twice
her age. He is by profession a lawyer,
but does not practice; his father Is a
clergyman of the Church of England,
and will perform the marriage cere-
mony.
The means of making these two ac-
quainted was apparently the New York
girl known as Julie Opp during upon
the stage and in private life
as Mrs. William Faversham. Fav-
ersham is English, also; he got
honestly enough the soldierly
to the matinee girl He was once q
soldier in the British army.
| Lord FairfaX-the mere naming of
his name is a plunge into American
history! His ancestor was the famous
Fairfax, of Cromwell. When "the
king came to his own" it was conve-
nient for that Fairfax to come to Amer
lea. A later Fairfax was the recluse
owner of "Greenways court" and the
friend and benefactor of a raw, lanky
lad with a stern jaw whose name was
Washington.
Ten years ago the living Lord Fair
fax was a country doctor near the city
of Washington; when he died the title
fell to young fellow in Wall street
brokers' office. This Lord Fairfax has
left Wall street for good, lucky that he
can. He attended the coronation cere,
monies of King Edward in the queer
costume of Scots baron, looking
much like one of his own ancestors
and not an exceedingly up-to-date
young man of 80. He will not return
to the United States to live.
1 do not know any reason why he
should. No one will cut off his head
nowadays because his ancestor fought
for Cromwell. But somehow l like
better the idea of that Lord Fairfax
who was just country doctor, urging
his lazy old horse through the rain
to patients bedside and rather for
getful about collecting his bills, espe-
cially when the patient was poor
There was the real romance.

Father w. G. Miller, of st. Joseph'S
church, has caused sensation in Wau-
kesha by preaching against open lace
apparel, low-neck dresses and lace
shirt waists. At masses he denounced
this style of apparel and charged his
flock not to indulge in it. He spoke
scathingly of the present modes of
feminine dress, and especially CEN

ground in the business center of Chi
cago will be worth more than it is in
New ork, or the business conditions of
the city will have to change. The lat
ter, however, is happening now to
some extent. For several years the
elevated loop marked the boundaries
of the business section of the city.
in this little section, not much more
than one-half mile square, practical
ly all the enormous wholesale and
retail business of the city was trans
acted. Now the big wholesale houses
are spreading beyond the loop, and
a number of immense business blocks
are being erected to be occupied by
large wholesale concerns in a section
that for years has been the home
of the tough element.
AS an evidence that Chicago has
not yet lost faith in the final COM
pletion of the federal building may
be noted the rise in real estate val
ues around federal square. The fed
eral building has been under con-
structiOn for more than six years,
and to-day has more the appearance
of a historic ruin than a new build
ing. 1t is safe to say that immense
sky-scrapers, for which the founda-
tions have not yet been begun, will
be completed and occupied before
Uncle Sans mails, and Uncle Sans
courts are occupying the building
which is being constructed for them.
Within a few years this entire square
will be lined solidly with buildings
that are 10 stories or more high, and
they will so overshadow the gov
eminent building as to make it APP
pear small beside them.

AGAINST CANAL TREATY.

Associated Press. Morning Service.
BOGOTA, June 1.-THE Colombian
Congress will not indOrse the Panama
canal treaty, the public being unani-
mouSly against it.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Important
conferences have been in progress of
late between Secretary HAY and per-
sons connected with the Panama Am
erican canal enterprise, the outcome of
which is a determination promptly to
terminate the negotiations with Co.
lombia one way or the other.
The Presidents patience is well-nigh
exhausted over the conflicting reports
in regard to the treaty that come from
Colombia and that government is to be
made aware of that fact On the goth
instant the Colombian congress will
convene and it's proceedings will be
watched with the greatest interest
here. If it shows an earnest purpose
to consider the treaty a due allowance
of time will be made by our govern
ment. If there is an evident purpose
to delay ratification beyond a reason
able time, then the treaty negotiations
will be abruptly terminated and the
President will proceed to carry out the
next instruction of Congress, namely,
to arrange with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the acquisition of canal rights.

read Lady Henry Somerset's presiden-

come of the Women's Christian Tenn
prance Unions fight would be a COM
plete victory over the liquor traffic.
The address also referred to Great
Britain's unenviable reputation for in
ebriety, said modern governments were
alive to the danger and referred to the
fact that Russia, France and Sweden
were strenuously fighting the evil.
Lady Somerset also mentioned the
magnificent efforts of the United
States, more powerful in it's youth to
overcome the custom engrafted into old
countries, enfeebled by time,' and con-
cluded with an appeal for the exalta-
ton of the home, asserting that the
work of the Worlds Women's Christian
Temperance Union could be best sum-
med up in the words of it's greatest
founder the late Miss Frances Willard:
