GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE UP MUSEUM Seventeenth and Eighteenth
 Century Tapestry A LARGE NEW THEATRE Will Be Built In Paris In Champs Elysees With, French and Amer
 ican CapitaI--lt Will
 Seat POGO.
BY PAUL VlLLlERS.

Paris. November 30.-(Special Cable.) J. The French government has at last taken up the question of the museum of the factory of Gobelins tapestry. Every American who comes to Paris knows this museum, which Is full of specimens of the finest seventeenth and eighteenth cen- tury tapestry and others of Flemish workmanship of great value. But the museum which shelters these precious works is only temporary structure which was made in 1877 for the purpose of the 1878 exhibition.
 It was to have been replaced the next year by a permanent museum. But the French government has entirely forgot ten it during the last 2S years The con sequence is that the temporary museum is now in a deplorable state and is almost falling to pieces The permanent museum Is now to be built, not day too soon.
 The new theatre which is shortly to be constructed on site conceded by the city of Paris, in the Champs Elysees, which was formerly occupied by the Cir qued Etc. is to be called the Theatre des Champs Elysees.
 This theatre. which has for its founder M. Gabriel Astrue. the we'll known music publisheN and impresario. is said to be patronized by a large number of prince ly personages, while, as is well known. there are among the directors several wealthy Americans.
 The theatre is to contain about POGO seats, and the stage. little larger than

FIRE AT ENSLEY

The steel mills, blast furnaces, Semet-Solvay by-product plant, blow works, machine shops, coal mines, rod, wire and nail mills. together with all the smaller industries are on FIRE and burning day and night, and the new construction work is progressing nice ly, giving employment to thousands of men, while many of the industries throughout the country are idle. Once more I wish to urge that Ensley is the place and right now the time to invest your money. I have a few snaps to offer for a few days in business. resi- dent or acreage property. Will take checks, saving accounts or cash. The safest place for your money is in Ems ley dirt.

1 that of the Sarah Bernhardt theatre, will be raised on the principles adopted at the Prince Regents theatre at Munich. There will. besides the great theatre hall, be a minor hall for small entertainments to hold about 600 people.
 M. Astrue hopes that by obtaining for his theatre a distinguished international patronage and directorate he will assure for it a more substantial existence than if he simply relied upon what Paris can supply him with.
 English dogs have a long time been the rage with lovers of the canine race in France. and this fact is responsible for the numerous thefts of valuable dogs that are continually taking place in the streets of London. The animals are brought to Paris and sold for large sums. The police have received "a great many complaints of late, but, although the streets of Paris are full of English dogs, they can do nothing, so clever are the thieves.
 One of the latest indications of the growing popularity of dogs is the estab-
 lshment of a matrimonial agency for
 these pets in Paris, which is doing good
 business. The office is at the Jardin des
 Plantes. where a large selection of pho-
 tographs Is kept from which buyers may
 choose animals suitable for reproduce tion.
 The office also undertakes the work of
 providing wet nurses for orphan dogs. Two attempts have been made In Paris
 to introduce colored evening dress for
 men. The more striking of them was
 the other day at the first performance of
 'L' Eventall," pretty company by Roo-
 ert de Flers and de Gallieat. at the Gym
 nase. where M. Borguet, the well known
 actor, appeared in beautiful chestnut
 brown Tuxedo with silk revers of a diff
 ferent shade.
 There was murmur throughout the
 house, but it was not sufficiently pro-
 nounced to indicate whether it was a
 murmur of approval or otherwise. So
 Paris is still left in doubt as to whether the idea will catch on or not this winter.
 In any case. the Tuxedo of NJ. Borguet
 was very picturesque and discreet
 There is a very distinct section of French society which is anxious to abol-

Construction work on two additional furnaces is progressing. Another gang of men was put on this week. This work is being done by the Pittsburg Steel Construction company. In addition to the new steel plant, work on large ore bin is being erected and is being made entirely of structural steel The attitude of the United States Steel corporations which has recently acquired the proper ties of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, is very gratifying to the business men and people of Ensley generally, as it indicates a disposition on the part of the company to keep the plants at this point running to their full raDacitN

The Liberal Fusion party had a rally
at Skansen, Stockholm, a, few days be-
fore the close of the session Of the
riksdag. Ex-Premier Staff, the head
of the party, made a lengthy address
The Conservative party, by croWding
out the Staff cabinet and giving the
Swedish people general suffrage, based
on proportional representation, left the
Liberal party in an awkward position.
Under the circumstances the Liberal
party is closely watched, for it is taken
for granted that it must either cham
pion some popular issue or. sink down
to a level of comparative insigni1cance
in Swedish politics. Staff evidently
prefers the former alternative. In his
address he discussed a series of great
problems, advocating, among other
things, woman suffrage, old age and
invalid insurance, a new government
department for trade, industry and
communication, the gradual abolish
ment Of the practice of making so many
public institutions financially dependent
upon the liquor traffic, and the solu-
ton of the school question by means
Of professional educators and not by

DEN MARK.

One of the seven bishops of Denmark
(Bishop Koch of Ribe) was diggingfin
his garden one day when man came
hauling the trunk of a tree along the
road close by. The rope holding the
log broke, and the log slipped back SO
that the wagon had to be stopped The
driver, who was unable to put the log
back in the proper position, looked
around for some one to help him. See
ing nobody but the bishop, he waved
his hand to him as signal for aid
The bishop, who is a comparatively
young and strong man, followed the
summons, and the log was soon in its
proper place again. When the work
was done the unsuspecting driver said:
Shall we go to the store and get a
glass of beer?" mo, thank you,'' an
swered the bishop. would you rather
take % ore & cents ?' mo, thank
you, I don't want anything" We'll,
them I thank you ever so much.' The
bishop soon disappeared in his garden.
Another man came driving along the
road, and he said to the first driver:
What did you talk with the bishop
about?" Il have neither seen nor heard
any bishop" why, I saw you myself
while you were talking with him.
WAS that the bishop?" why, dead
sure it was" Now at last the alarmed
driver understood what he had been
doing, and he will remember to his
dying day how the bishop looked when
invited to a glass of beer.

Can The Negro Fill High Office?

Should the president appoint Columbus negro or
any other black man. to the place of collector of the
port of Cincinnati to succeed former Mayor Amor
Smith, who will vacate the office, he will be
playing very contemplate part in very small po-
litcal game.
Why the people of the great state of Ohio should
have this afront put upon them simply because Roose
velt and Foraker striving outdo each other in
gallery play for the negro vote, is beyond the
prehension of thinking The place to be filled
Is one of high station, paying handsome stipend
and heretofore occupied by eminent citizens of this
state.
The President make choice from among the
35 900 negroes who voters in this state that will
creditably and efficiently fill the office The mita
tions of that in the administrative and
tive field too we'll understood to admit of any
reasonable ambitions higher than aspirations for
ianitorships of public buildings positions messen-
gers, doortenders and places of personal attendance
Even the positions named cannot be acceptaby filled
by negroes unless selections are made from members
of the the least likely to receive political pre-
ferment.
The northern political negro, who mostly styles
himself Afro-American, (whatever that may mean,
whether part of African blood and part American
bloody in voting sense and "coored gentleman
socially, has absolutely qualification for high of
fee. He usually is the worst type of ''heeler.' He

ready see menace in the race question in the COM
monwealth, will have much more to fear, and the

ing essay on boys the other day;
"Boys are men that have not
got as big as their papas, and girls
are women that will be ladies by
and-by. When God looked at
Adam, He said to himself, well l
think j can do better, If try
again. and then He made Eve.
Boys are trouble, they wear out
everything but soap, and they
would not even think Of using 1t If
their mothers did not make them
do so. If | had my way the world
would be half girls and the rest
dolls. My papa is SO nice that |

Not Elevating

explotations attendant upon the murder trial in
which he is most interested spectator.
Harry Thaw is low browed, pug nosed, thick
Tipped, rncooth ubber, that happened to be born
with a million dollars to his credit. He did every
thing earth that when boy, and a
young man got stuck stage freak that is proven
TO have been of prostitute than actress.
1t was a toss up between old Stamford White of
New York, a notorious old libertine, and Harry
Thaw, which going to hold possession of this
pretty faced little crooked thing named Evelyn
Nesbt.
To beat the time of the rotten old architect, Thaw
hastened to marry the girl. He loyed to parade her
around among her old flames, and impress upon them
the fact of his full possession of the sweet bunch
they so much admired Stanford White used to
pretty girls, and he was ready to slur million
aires wife, if he knew her to be crooked, girl Of
the world that he might be escorting.
On this night in Madison Square Garden, White
turned in his seat and saw Harry Thaw and his
''eharming' bride down the isle and he gave
them the knowing, hauty smile that he knew we'll
how to administer Thaw caught the insult, and
being enraged at the slur seated the woman and
then went TO the rear of White and poured Yolley
of lead into his filthy brain.
That is the whole story. A scrap of two fast men
over a common strumpet but the deplorable feature,
for the education of the coming generations is that
newspapers will take up such stuff and picture such
girl in every position of stage life aaunt her a
sensational heroine ard her degenerate husband

Papers should give the news, but to lionlze the
