TALKS OF PARIS,
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Miss cauIfeId Says 1t Has the Charm
of Never Appearing Old.


At the Catholic Chautauqua the sec
ond of Dr. Shie4as-diseourse on Men
tai Development" was given yesterday
morning. Dr. Shields is a psychologist
of great insight. and his lecture was
careful study He discussed so-called
culture" and disclosed the workings
of the mind in it's training and devel-
opment, showing the proper channels
of discipline in manner at once clear
and comprehensive.
The third and last of the series of art
lectures, given by Miss Anna Caul
field last night, vas we'll attended.
The subject of Miss Caulfelds lee
ture was "Paris-Literary and Arts
tic" theme which she lis well quail
fed to handle, having been a member
of the department of fine arts of the
Paris exposition.
Miss Caulf1eld said, in her introduce
tory remarks: There is no more in
teresting city in the world to Ameri-
cans than Paris. To the student of art
and history, Rome, Florence and Ven.
ice offer what no other cities can be-
stow, but all of their splendor is touch
ed with sadness-they are in reality
only cities of the past = but Paris,
bright, versatile, vital, present-as old
as Florence and Venice Paris has the
charm of perpetual youth, the subtle,
indefinable charm of the French wom-
an of never appearing DID,
The latter part of Miss Caulfeld's
discourse was devoted to the Paris ex-
position of 1900 In describing the
Street of Nations there, the United
States building was shown.
That" Miss Caulfield declared, 1--WE
must acknowledge was not a success.
1t was fortunate thing for America
that our building was erected next to
the Italian pavilion, which latter was
the most artistic in the group. The
contrast showed US where we had fail
ed, and had it not been for that con-
trast, we would have come away with
the idea that we had nothing more to
learn in architecture-an impression
which would prove disastrous to the
art of our country"
The next lecture in the Chautauqua
course will be given Monday morning,
and will be the third of DR.. Shields
discourses on g"Mental Development y
Two river excursions are to be given
today by the local council, Knights of
Columbus, for The benefit of the Chau-

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

The government crop report has been largely dis
counted and its rather pessmistc tone IS not likely to
impress the country outside the speculative market
The report shows considerable falling off IN the
average expectation, compared to last year and the
year before The average condition of the spring wheat
July 825 compared with $50 last month and
o24 year ago.
This might be depressing at first glance, but it must
be remembered that at the time the preliminary reports
sent in, July Ioo3 the grain suffering from
1ong-continued drought If the reports had been re
turned few days later the growth and expectation
would have been based very much improved cond1-
tons. About July copious rains fell all through the
Northwest except in isolated localities The conditions
changed at They materially better now and
unless the weather be Systematically adverse
to the pening of the grain the result will be satstac-
tory in the Northwest.
1t is that the prospects for bumper crop have
been reduced by the losses in circumserbed localities,
but generally the Northwest is in good shape and the
expectation of large crop will almost certainly be justi-
fed by the event.

AN HONORABLE LIFE.

New York policeman aged sixty-four, has just re-
tired from the force. He has continuous active
service for thrtyseven years This pocemans boast is
that "a dirty dollar" has touched his hand The
home he occupies now is the modest little fiat in
which he began his married life many years ago 1t has
been kept up by his adequate but large salary 1t
contains luxuries and only such comforts as the po-
eeman has been able provide with the monthly wage
he has drawn.
Not long ago the mayor of of the largest cities
in the United States retired private life his term Of
office having expired. When he retired he was many
thousands of dollars richer than when he began his term
When he took Office he announced frankly to his friends
that he had accepted the place of mayor for the money
there in it and that he intended get much out

of the Chicago Great Western that train
service would be commenced on the new
extension of the Fort Dodge line to
Council Bluffs by the middle Of the pres
ent month. From Fort Dodge a double
daily passenger train service to Cairo will
be put on at once, and this will be eX
tended toward Council Bluffs as rapidly
as the new track can be baliasted
It is certain now that the expectation
of the Great Western officials that the
line will be open for both freight and
passenger traffic by Sept / is to be real
lied. President Stickney for several
months has set as the date for the COM
pletion of the track-laying and other con-
struction work necessary to permit the
trains to run to the Missouri river
The present state of the construction
shows that the opening date will be ear
lier than had been counted upon. The
track layers will finish their work up to
the Council Bluffs terminal of the Great
Western line in the present week. For
several days past they have been putting
down rails at the rate of two and quar-
ter miles per day.
The opening of the Great Western to
Council Bluffs gives st. Paul another line
to the Missouri river which will be an inn
portant factor in the traffic between the
Nebraska farms and this city.
The through trains from st. Paul to
Omaha will be run over the Fort Dodge
line as soon as the litigation between
the Union Pacific and the Great Western

THE THoMpsoN-sEToN VARIETY.

Naturalists objected when Ernest Thompson Seton
insisted that bears wep for family losses; that coyotes
loved and rode away and that wolves had high sense
of personal honor and Chesterheds to the feminine

likes have its faith in anything upset. but particularly
its faith in popular authors

to believe that the wicked punished earth, men

CONFIDENCE IN
LARGE FALL TRADE
IS PRONOUNCED
Weather Conditions Are Per-
feet, Railroad Earnings Show
Larger Gains Than Ever and
Prices Are Steady.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Weather condi-
tons continue almost perfect; the win
ter wheat crop harvest has about been
completed, with a considerably larger
yield than last year; retail trade in
summer goods has improved and re-
orders from jobbers are larger in vol
ume Confidence in a large fall trade
grows as corn and cotton make UP for
their early backward start. clearings
are in excess of a year ago at most
centers, railroad earnings continue to
show gains over all preceding years,
the increase for June is fully IL per
cent and prices display exceptional
steadiness for midsummer period.
The prospect grows that whatever de-
ficiencies from last year occur in crop
yields will be made UP for by increas-
ed quotations or better quality of prod
ucts. Wool has been again advanced.
and while manufacturers are not in
clined to stock UP. the higher price for
the raw material practically insures
high cost for spring woolens.
Retail trade has been stimulated by
real summer weather and jobbers East

A FEMALE ENocH ARDEN.

Ever since the late poet laureate gave to the world
the sad story of the husband who sailed away and
shipwreced and then returned find that his wife had
married again. the virtue of remuneration has been looked
upon as masculine one But comes forward Mrs
Olson vndicate her and prove that this virtue
is by means affair. Unlike Mr.. Arden OF
poetic fame, Mrs. Olson did sail away. She rode
away train that wrecked and the accident robbed
her of her memory Returning home she found that Mr.
Olson had married not but twice Mrs. Olson, the
second having died. he was enjoying domestic life with
Mrs Olson, the third when Mrs. Olson, the first, ap
peared. There opportunity, masculine scofers
might say, for hysteria and hairpulling But Mrs Oh
showed the Arden spirit bestowed her blessing
and deported
Those who will delight in finding parallel between
the case of Mr. Arden and that of Mrs. Olson, will find
such parallel between the of Mrs. Arden and
that of Mrs Olson Mrs Arden married old love.
Mr.. Olson married two. Mrs Arden married only after
a long lapse of time and after much persuasion. Mr.
Olson must have gone counting before the crepe band
was shabby on his hat. Mrs Arden married because
she poor and friendess The well-to-do Mr. Olson
had such excuse And having buried wife the second
Mrs Olson, he determnedly looked around for the third
So, while undoubtedly, the conduct of Mrs. Olson
reflects glory her SEX the conduct of Mr.. Olson will
strengthen the feminine world in its opinion that man
inconstant. And it is probable that his own sex will
hardly look with federation Mr. Olsons conduct Here
opportunity for him to take practically the
place in history that Enoch Arden occupies Had Mrs
Olson returned find him carefully guarding the lonely
hearth what example it would have been for future
generations and what reproach for Mrs Ardent! But
Mr.. Olson let slip the opportunity and the world is
the elevated for his having lived in it.
