exactly as they were centuries ago.
One can do" Venice In three days 50
far as viewing its principal sights is
concerned. or can spend as many
months in the occupation and never
weary OF ii. The city IS always .in
season" IN that IT invariably has plenty
Of interest and variety of attraction 10
offer. though the time when ii is sought
by visitors in greatest numbers is the
spring.
Here is an old city that really looks
its age There are towns of classical
antiquity which now are nothing but
heaps of picturesque ruins and there
are others that have been rejuyenated
and modernized. But Venice displays all
the signs of hoary venerableness, and, IL
must be admitted. many of senile de-
crepitude. Floating along the highways
between rows of age-stained buildings
one scarcely needs to be told that here
was fiourishing seat of trade which
levied tribute on half the known world
through many centuries and which now
that IT has fallen on less prosperous
days exists chiefly in the reflection of
its former greatness.
In World, Apart.
The very moment of entrance into
Venice brings the traveller from the
west into a world apart. His luggage
is taken from the railway station down
a flight of stone steps TO a gondola in
which he also ensconces himself and
thus makes the journey to his hotel.
Nothing more delightfully."- mysterious
can be imagined than first trip along
the Grand Canal at night between rows
of dimly outlined buildings. with no
sounds but the tapping of the water
against the boat. the warning cries OF
4 the gondOliers, or the faint strains of
music from some serenading party. No
wonder poets have sung and artists
painted Venice for centuriesl
In Nhe streets the impression is of n

sons can hardly walk abreast through
them. and they dive between high build
ings. skirt canals. ana lose themselves
in broad courtyards in most be-
wildering manner. Not a horse or a
cart Is to be encountered anywhere. and
the way the people occupy the full
width of the highway instead OF being
restricted to narrow walks at either
side, gives Venice a singularly crowded
appearance
Art and History.
Aside from the fact tnat il is abso-
lutely different from any other city in
the world. the principal charms of
Venice are found in It's art treasures
and its literary and historical land
marks. To stroll across the arched
bridge over the grand canal and along
the way that leads 10 il, the Rialto,
brings Shylock and his fellow-characters
from THE Merchant of Venice" TO real
life. To cross the Bridge of Sighs and
enter the dungeons beneath IL, where not
the faintest ray of light penetrates.

in the itinerary of those who did the
Grand Tour when that was so fash

But the ordinary sightseer. the every
day man OF affairs with three or four
months to devote to Europe. has only
recettly penetrated so far.
At first this average traveller from
"the States" ccntented himself with the
British Isles and a run over to Paris.
Then, gradually. he advanced up the
Rhine and into the mountains of Switz-
erland. Even when he had conquered
tho Alps and descended into Italy the

Charms of City.
The reason Tor TINS Is parity tnat a
yearly increasing number of Americans
are discovering the charms OF the Island
City, but even more largely because
Venice has been brought so much nearer
to us.
Since the great steamships Of the
White Star Line have been put into
commission between the United States
and the Mediterranean II IS possible tc
reach Venice in twelve days from Bos-
ton by way of Genoa. or by more leis-
urely stages from Naples. another port
of call, through Rome, Florence. and
Bologna.
Thus the annoyance and discomfort OF
a long European railway journey Is
avoided and the voyager steps almos

pier into the mystical City CT Isles witt

much effect on Wolf of Dubuque. He
was back at his old tactics in the game

showing with the stick and asked the
directors to give him his freedom.
He said that he was out of luck and
that in justice to the team. that some
other man should be given a show.
The management, however, decided
that such a player was too valuable to
lose and that his views in the matter
indicated that he was anxious to dc
the right thing. He will be kept, how
ever, and it is believed that he Will
yet find the ball safely.

arrived home this morning from De

Peters at Decatur the rankest he has
seen in years. He stole the game of
Wednesday from Rock Island. His
work was not even satisfactory to the
home people. and they manifested
their displeasure in hooting Peters.
Mic says when the people of the home
town think an umpire is not doing the
right thing by the visiting team it
comes near being a cinch that he is
not competent TO hold the indicator.

the charge of increasing his state ex-

believed him guilty in the begin

ing the charge. We should Judge a
proportionate amount of blame
should be attached to those who kept
the accounts. The faults shown up

faulty bookkeeping that will proba-
bly, be remedied in the future. So

Sculptor st. Gaudens' Studio Burned

About eight o'clock Tuesday even
ing fire was discovered in barn be-
longing to Augustus St. Gaudens,
the famous sculptor, located across
the river from Windsor in the town
of Cornish, N. H. The barn was
destroyed and the fire followed a
woodshed connected with it to the
old studio, which was also burned.
The loss on the buildings was not
very great but in the studio were the
models for statue Of Marcus DAILY,
the Montana copper king, and for
the great Irish leader Charles Stew
ard Parnell which was to have been
sent to Dublin. Both of these were
ruined together with many other
valuable models, medallions, plaster
of Paris casts, which it is probable
can never be replaced. The loss is
estimated at $Ioo, 900.
Mr.. St. Gaudens was not at home
at the time. He has been in very
poor health this summer and is in
New York where he expects to I'M
dergo severe operation in the near
future.

Most young men when they trav-
ell in the woods of South America
have their wits about them-most,
but not all. 1t is related Of one
that, seeing a parrokeet enter a
hole in tree, he climbed up to cap
ture the bird in its nest, as he
thought. He put in his hand and
felt something soft and Aabby.
These, he imagined, must be the
young ones. He had still sense
enough, however, to try to look into
the nest. So he prodded the hole
wider with stick and then saw 9
huge boa, its jaws fringed with the
feathers of the unfortunate bird
He descended the tree in the twin
king of an eye and did not forget
this lesson in birds nesting.
