Apropos OF the production OF ia

tre, a good deal Of discussion has
peen going on In the French papers
on the subject Ct Napoleon His mus
tache. The actor who represents Ma
poieon at the theatre wears a Jet
black mustache; NJ. Faguet, who is
poleon's mustache was fair. and 9TH
ers contend that 1t was auburn. Even
the members OF the learned Academy
of Medicine did not consider the
question unworthy Of their informal
attention the other day. Some Of
them, when younger. acted a. army
surgeons. and had frequent opportuu-
tiles Of meeting Napoleon and seeing
him at receptions and reviews. The
opinion most generally admitted by
the medical men seemed to be that
Napoleon's mnstache was dark au-
burn in color. but that under the nos
trils It was easy to distinguish sew
eral hairs Of straw color, caused by
excessive SMOKING OF cigarettes. His
Majesty's fingers also bore the indel.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
BUYS GREAT WESTERN

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-The Canadian
Pacific railroad will invade the United
States and compete with the great
trunk lines for northern transcontin-
entail traffic, according to kilograms
from Montreal received today.
At the general headquarters OF the
Great Canadian system in Montreal.
1t is stated hat the railroad, through
its subsidiary lines, the Minneapolis,
ST. Paul & Sault Ste Marie, practical
ly has taken over the Chicago, Great
Western railroad and will operate Its
own trains over its line into Chicago.
1t is recognized that in the Chicago,
Great Western the Canadian Pacific
has found an almost ideal connecting
line Into Chicago. Heretofore the Ca
madam system has had to depend on
the Wabash to establish connections
with the Great Lakes metropolis.
Beside giving the Great Canadian
system the desired Chicago terminal,
the transfer will have the effect OF
opening up a territory embraced with
in the trade limits of Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha and Minneapolis. which
branches of the Chicago Great West
ern reach to direct Canadian trade.
1t also will enable the Canadian road
TO make even a stronger bid for trans
Atlantic traffic through the ports of
Montreal and Quebec.

FORMOSA BECOMES
A LAND OF RAILWAYS

Toxic, Sept. 29.--Japan Is about to
open the main trunk railroad line con-
%sstructed IN Fcrmosa since her occupa-
ton of that island in 1895. The Japa-
aese program of construction was laid
down in 1899, and called for the compile
ton of 272 miles OF roadbed in nine
years. 1t has been carried out to the
letter.
Sixty-two miles of completed roadbed
We're taken owe from the Chinese in
1885. so the main line today covers q
total of 1874 miles. Japan built the Pr
miles in question at 81, 900, 600 less than
the estimate. and the sum thus saved is
to be applied to yarious improvements.
The existing roads already are profit
able, having earned last year $3.50, 900
net.
A concession TO build $50 miles of
branch ines has been granted to the
Formcsan Sugar Refining company,
and 50 miles are already completed.
Through traffic over the main line will
begin In October CT this year.
Since the South Manchurian railway
adopted the broad gauge system this
year. there has been a remarkable in
crease in receipts. The total receipts
from passenger and freight traffic in
July of 1907 were $276.O 900. while in July
of this year they We're 1886, 900, an in
crease of $50. 900.
