OH, JEST LAUGHS
Thought 1t Was a Motor.

A couple of New Workers, while on
a recent visit to Baltimore, were one
afternoon driving in a Uagonette just
outside of the city, when spark
falling from the vehicle set fire to
some straw at the bottom of the wag-
onette.
The flames soon drove them from
their seats, and while they were ex-
tinguishing the fire, countryman,
who had been following them came
up to assist them.
I'D been watchin' that smoke fer
some time he said.
Then why didn't you tell us?" de-
manded one of the New Workers, as
tonished.

ROSEBUD DISTRICT.

The superintendent of the Rose
bud Rather company in Humboldt
has written that the crosscut on the
75-foot level has cut the vein so far
for ten feet with only one wall, and
with the values being maintained
very satisfactorily. This vein on the
surface is all of sixty feet in width,
and there is every expectation of its
being equally as wide, if not wider,
at the point to be fully cut beneath.
The best values are expected on the
wall toward which the puresenr
working is being sent.

Amelie Rives, the American novelist
was successful exhibitor at the KEN
mel show, winning prizes with her
three magnificent Russian wolf
hounds, Machiette, Ours and Sabaka.
Her collection of blue ribbons, large
ly increased at recent dog shows, is
now one of the largest and most in
teresting in Europe.
At the kennel show. where she APP
peared daily and displayed number
of superb costumes, her women COM
panions were usually wives and
daughters of members of the Russian
embassy. She is known as the most
youthful woman of her years in Rus
STA, where she has always been a
prime fayorite at court The care
witch made a great friend of the prin-
cess last spring, and used to pull her
by the skirts all around the decks of
the imperial yacht, North Star, much
to the amusement of the imperial in
fant's parents. When he got tired of
this operation he would insist upon
the shoulders of Prince Troubetsky,
who is man of considerable height,
and would make believe that the
prince was a horse. The princess is
probably the only American woman
ever admitted to the domestic con-
fidences of the imperial family.
Her literary aspirations were long
ago abandoned; yet nothing pleases
her more than a well-turned compli-
ment regarding her famous story
An American, who was introduced to
her at the kennel show, amazed at
finding so youthful looking a woman
said: 1T is impossible. The au-
-horess of The Quick and the Dead
would be woman of 40. Looking
1t him critically she replied. Are
you Frenchman?" No." he an
Iwered. You lie like one," was the
'ejoinder of the princess.

FRANCE ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER AIRSH|PS FOR WAR

PARIS, July 20.-It was half a
wrote the line
Airy navies graphing in the central
blue.
Ambassador White quoted il to
General Picquart during the trial
performances of the military dirigi-
BILE balloon patrie at Longchamps,
and Picquart replied that all poets
were prophets.
There is so much enthusiasm in
official circles over the success of the
experiments with the Patrie that
there is no doubt whatever of the
willingness of parliament TO make a
grant of million dollars in October
for the construction of other airships
on the same model.
Jules Lebaudy, the Patrie's in
ventor. Comte de la VauiN, Comte
Won Zeppelin, Santos-Dumont and
other aeronauts are elated at this
demonstration of the soundness OF
their theory. and NJ. Clemenceau has
promised Picquart that he will make
an ascent in the Patrie in order to
get the personal experience necessary
to pass an official judgment as to the
expedience of constructing fleet of
military balloons The car will as
cend from Verdun, close to German
territory, go around the Eiffel tower
and return to the point of departure.
The Patrie cost about $4,000, al
though $250,000 had been offered to
any person who would construct a
balloon capable of fulfilling the con-
ditions met by the Patrie at Long
champs 1t is assumed that $1,000
900 would construct ten airships.
1t is, of course, ridiculous to argue,
as some French journalists have ar
gued, that this aerial device gives
France a military advantage not to
be overcome But, so far as fleet
of airships can be of service, France
has five years the start of any other
country The balloon is largely de-
pendent upon fair weather. Gun
makers in Germany have sets their
wits at work to devise rife with an
explosive shell to cope with the new
invention.

Americans familiar with Max Nor
dau's big volume on Degeneration
will not be astonished to know that
the veteran philosopher and critic is
a fierce opponent of Richard Strauss
opera "Salome." In new work
soon to be published, he will treat
"Salome'' as an illustration of the
demoralizing influence of Wagner
in the world of art and imagination.
His arraignment of Wagner and
Magnetism in Degeneration is one
of the conspicuous features of the
book; and the forthcoming treatise,
to appear more than ten years later,
is crowded with illustrations of his
talent for invective.
Il am citizen of the world" said
he the other day, when the matter of
the new book was mentioned; ''and
my writings are for all the world
They are not for Germans, or for
Frenchmen, or for Hungarians, or for
Americans. They are cosmopolitan.
In one sense Oscar Wilde was cos
mopolite. There are certain passions
common to all men, and Wilde loved
to depict them. To that extent he
wrote for all; but what a wretched
apology it is for writing, and what
other end than Wilde's could be ex-
pected for the man who glorified the
inglorious in human nature? / know
of personal knowledge that Wildes
works, translated into German, have

Theobald Chartran's death was not
expected by his intimate friends
Years ago he told them that he was
stricken with malady from which
there was no escape, but that with
abstinence and care he hoped to live
until he had amassed a fortune.
Until about 1897 Chartran was a
poor man. In painting historical
themes he had gained reputation
as an artist, but comparatively small
returns financially. He succumbed at
last prematurely to a greed of gain.
He was not of the stuff of which the
great painters are made.
Art for arts sake alone did not ap-
peal to him as the highest ideal. he
was as luxurious as any sybarite,
lived to be surrounded with beautiful
things, enjoyed decking himself out
in expensive clothing and, above ev-
erything else, made fad of costly
entertainments of celebrities and
pretty women. He was a clean man
morally, as the Partisan bon vivant
goes nowadays, but his tastes were
Lucullan.
1t was quite by accident that Char
tran made the discovery that there
was more money in painting portraits
than in painting historical subjects.
But from that day he abandoned a
field where he had, or might have
had, few rivals among his contempo-
raries, and entered upon a new path.
Almost Immediately his financial
fortunes improved; commissions
poured in upon him from all parts of
Europe and the United States, and
in tho delight of his neW-fOund
sources of income he began to burn
the candle at both ends-working at
his easel all day and keeping up the
old social gayeties at night. His doc
tors suggest that it was the multitude
of American orders, all highly lucra-
tive, that destroyed him. Two of his
finest portraits are of President
Roosevelt and Mrs. Longworth. He
was the best dressed man in Paris, a
veritable Beau Brummel of the bou-
levards; generous, amiable. patient,
and a stout fighter against disease to
the end.

FIRST PERFORMANCE
SET FOR TONIGHT
Scottish Reformation Will Be
Presented at the Gennett.
LARGE AUDIENCE ASSURED.

Tonight at the Gennett the first
presentation of the Scottish Reforma
ton will be given. The cast is well
prepared to put before the large aud
fence a very fine presentation of a
very elaborate entertainment. The
play will begin at SIS sharp. 1t is
just two hours long and complete
each evening.
The Albany Argus says: In the
number of participants and the wealth
and diversity of historic scenes and
costumes the entertainment probably
surpassed anything of the kind ever
before attempted in Albany.
The general effect produced by the
triumphant professionals and group
pictures was superb. The bright plaids
of the Highlanders, the rich gowns of
the court ladies and the courtiers' gay
attire over against the sombre black
of the Puritans gave an impression of
mingled joy and sadness, which char
acterized the spirit of the times.

Commercial Club at Its Month
Iy Meeting Considers This
Phase of the Situation.
A GAIN IN POPULATION.
IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE uN.
LESS MEN OF MEANS ARE WILL
ING TO BUILD MORE HOMES
INTERESTING TALKS MADE.

Monday night the monthly meeting
of the Commercial club was held at
the Masonic temple. The meeting
was an enthusiastic one and the boom
for a city of $4,000 population was
started. This is to be realized it is
hoped before the next census is TAX
en-. Enthusiastic speeches were Civ
en- and it was the concensus of opin-
Jon that the Commercial club should
do everything within it's power to 10
cate factories in Richmond, as well
as do everything else that will tend
to boost the city. The fact that there
is a great demand for houses renting
for medium sums, was also brought
TO the attention of the club. The sit
nation is one that needs attention as
St is realized that there is not much
hope of increasing the population I'M
less the city can offer homes to those
desiring to locate.
The club will make an endeavor to
interest persons of means to building
dwelling houses. According to the
school census taken some time ago
there are only about fifty empty
houses in the city and some of these
are not fit for use.
The situation at present is an unfor-
tunate one for a city of Richmond's
size and should the impression spread
broadcast that no houses are avail
able, many families who would other
wise come here, will no doubt be kept
away.
In order that the house question
may be kept before the members OF
the club members a large sign has
been hung in the Commercial club
rooms, which reads:
RICHMOND NEEDS 300 HOMES
RIGHT NOW.
"Grumbling is the Grit that Makes
Hot Boxes on the Wheels OF
Progress"
Stephen S. Ssrattan Jr., gave talk
on Russia and the commercial condi-
tions existing in that country. Net
tIeton Neff. who made trip through
that country some years ago also
gave short talk.
Henry Gennett described the COM
mercial condition on the Pacific coast,
from which place he has but recently
returned. while John NJ. Lontz made
a similar talk on the east. The meet
ing as a whole was very interesting
and will no doubt contribute much 10
tho future good of Richmond.
On Wednesday Edgar Nj. Haas, ex-
county clerk, will succeed VIII Fer
guson as secretary OF the ciuo.
