ROMANCE OF OLD DAYS

Salem. June 6.-(Special.) )-In 163s, less than two decades after the Pilgrims land ed on Plymouth Rock, and less than one after the settlement of Boston, Yankee enterprise began to seek intercourse for purposes of profit, in the West Indies. Tic voyage of the little ship Desire" which went to New Providence and Tortuga and returned to Salem laden with cotton. to- bacco, salt and negroes was the be- ginning of a long list of trade ventures to and in the tropical islands--undertak- ings continued today in such projects as Henry M. Flaglers sea-going railroad, annexing Cuba by way of Key West, the immense business in raising and market ing tropical fruit which the United Fruit company. a characteristic constructive in- dustry built up in Jamaica and else various electrical properties lately in- stalled, such as the trolley systems of Porto Rico, the electric light and power company of Key West and the telephone plants which are beginning to save the time of slowmoving Spanish-Americans
 Romance and profit-seeking reality have been constantly interwoven in these 270 years of trade relations between New England and the West Indies. The story has never been fully told. Numerous facts, for instance never heretofore pub lished, regarding the earlier features of these activities of pioneering New Eng

PARIS TAKES UP
 LECTURES AS FAD

Paris, June 6-When French society fashion. At present lectures are all the fad. Our social leaders are fighting the silent monster, Bridge, by giving musl- cal afternoons readings from the poets and, above all by lectures delivered py our illustrious men of letters.
 Thus this week both the Princess Mu- rat and Madame Bernardaky invited us to their elegant salons to listen to con- certs of Russian music, preceded by lec lures on the various composers whose works were given. It was Monsieur Bel laigne, our most distinguished musical critic who lectured for the Princess Murat.
 And where did the fashion come from?
 From America, of course; it was intro- duced by one of the most popular Amer jeans in Paris, Mrs. Charles Carroll.
 What is best about this mode of enter tainment is that it gives one something to say about music. My objection to it s that it kills conversation. And this is of more importance in France than any where else, for we have always been proud of our salons, those of the Hotel Rambouillet and Madame Recamier are not yet forgotten.
 And 1t must be borne in mind that so long as we French are permitted to talk at ease, we do not concern ourselves much with our government or kindred evils Once the lecturers and bridge s;ends have enforced silence upon us we may take to thinking-and building ba:- ricadeS.

NEW RECORD FOR
 WOOL SHIPMENTS

St. Paul, Minn., June 6.-After an win fer of phenomenal mildness which stim- ulated the live stock industry in the northwest advices are arriving in St. Paul from Montana from points remote from wire communication reciting the se- yerity and long endurance of the late storm which was the worst experienced in the memory of the oldest settlers. Miles City, the center of the wool grow ing industry. reports that in some sections over four feet of snow fell, and that the storm had not yet abated. As d result of this unexpected outbreak thou sands of newly born lambs have per ished, and in consequence, the sheepmen have suffered very severe losses.
 This. however. will not interfere with the coming wool shipments. It is con servatiyely estimated that these will ex- ceed all previous records by many mil lion pounds This is owing to the fact that the flocks are in splendid condition and are shearing nine and ten pounds to the animal. A portion of the increase has been caused by the operation of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul exten- sion which reached Miles City a few weeks ago. The sheep industry has also been helped by the new wool warehouses which this company has caused to be erected at Miles City.

Indian communities. There they took on board cheap rum, piled with it to the African coast, and exchanged it for slaves The human cargoes were resold in the West Indies or in the southern states Of this country. Then laden with sugar, rice and tropical fruits, the ship returned to be welcomed in the staid New England town with psalms of thanksgiving for the prosperity of the voyage.
 A typical cargo for the West Indies, as Mr Peabody shows, was one taken out by the elder Derby. It consisted of 54,O00 feet of boards, 94,500 shingles, $500 slaves, 10 barrels of shad, 16 horses, 7o bags of corn and 20 of rye. It was excep- tional only in that it had a smaller pro- portion than usual of dried fish, for the Yankees early learned to make an ad- vantageous barter of the wealth of their adjacent waters. These finny harvesrs they appreciated thoroughly and even waxed sentimental at times over the codfish, as IS proved by the sacred cod under which Massachusetts solons now leg.slate on Beacon Hill or by the carved and gilded effigies of the codfish which benjamin Pickman, a famous Salem mer- chant, placed on either side of the pair of stairs in the principal hall of his house, built Tn 175O and still standing in Essex street next to the Mecca of all tourists who visit Salem, the East India Marine building
 How far this profitable West India trade was responsible for the develop ment of the personal kind of banking which has long distinguished New Eng
 land is not specifically indicated in MT. Peabody's monograph on the Derbys, but
 from references in it to the banking cus- toms of colonial days it is easy to see
 how houses having peculiarly personal relationship with a large clientele, such
 as present day commercial New Eng land, came to exist The Derbys, be- sides being very large ship owners and interested in various other enterprises of
 their time, served as bankers to tie community If one man owed another a certain sum he would give his creditor
 a note on Mir Derby, and the creditor would then demand the amount either in cash or dry goods or rum or any other article he wished. A typical draft of the
 eighteenth century does not look very
 busness-like to modern eyes, though both the one who drew it and its recipient
 doubtless meant business. It is as fol- lows:
 "Salem. November 16th 173S.
 Capt darby, Be plesd to let MT. Robert Smith heve one gallon of Rum and Charge the Same to the account of yours to Sarve Ben1 Jones' Now and then there is talk of a big revival of the direct West India trade between New England ports and the islands This may or may not take place. After the advent of steam naviga- tion most of this traffic which through competition was becoming less profit able than in early times passed over to New York Only in comparatively recent years have the possibilities of tropical fruit growing led to large reinvestmen,s of New England money in one direction,
 while the excellentp respects of Porto | Rico under American domination have i led to the establishment of the trolley I line, which has now taken the place of l the mule cars on the shaded highway be- tween Ponce and La Playa.

 the brain work overtime. The Wayne company is composed of excellent talent,

 testify Too much cannot be said in their
 behalf and they will be remembered as
 the best performers who ever appeared
 in a summer show in Birmingham.

straight commerce had become too perilous to be satisfactory to the mer- chants as was shown by a letter or Richard Derby's under date of May s' 1775, in which he said: "There hath not been as yet any stopping of ye trade, so I would have y/I get load of molasses as good and cheap and as quick as you can and proceed home.
