To secure the appropriation for this

PARIS IN PICTURE AND STORY

Boyd Proves to he n Rare
Treat.

Paris, with its gay life, wonderful ave-
nues and boulevards, cosmopolitan popula-
ton, historic monuments, buildings and
places, in short, Paris-'Everything for
Everybody'-was the subject of the second
of the Burton Holmes series of travelogucs
at the Boyd Wednesday night. Wright
Kramer, who delivered the lecture, proved
most entertaining with pleasing description,
refreshing history, occasional humor and
enough of vivid narrative to give rise to
visions of actual trips around the great
city.
Both the beautifully colored stereoptlcon
views and the interesting motion pictures
proved most satisfactory In giving the large
gathering a comprehensive idea Of many
places and Incidents connected with the
French capital, which heretofore had been
but the fruits of books and old pictures.
The numerous motion views that depleted
scenes on Partisan streets, on the horse and
motorcar race tracks, I'm the field of aero
plane and balloon experiment, up the wind
ing Seine under its twenty-eight bridges
within the city. at the military review and
elsewhere, were the features Of the trav-
elogue.
Many minute references to points and
subjects of interest in the say metropolis of
fashion and fancy. gave spice and life to
the entertainment. which was creditably
presented and received with enthusiasm.

HEARING On WOOL TARIFF
House Ways and Means Committee
Hears Wooden Interests.
IOBODY WANTS REDUCTION
sheep Men Make the Claim that the
Present Tariff Is Lowest Under
Which Industry Can
Survive.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The considera-
ton of the tariff on wool, WOODEN manu-
features and carpets, which was begun by
the house ways and means committee at
today's hearing, developed considerable in
teresting testimony. General Charles II.
Grosvenor, former congressman from Ohio,
was one of the most important witnesses.
He appeared for the wool growers of Ohio.
"Nou can't reduce the duty on wool as
It stands without destroying the industry"
he told the committee. THE industry is
now fairly profitable"
General Grosvenor said that under the
low rate of duty imposed on wool by the
Wilson bill the number of sheep raised in
one county of Ohio decreased from 1853, 900
to $1,000 within four years. Representative
Clark of Missouri later secured the admis-
sion from the former representative from
Ohio that this reduction was, at least in
part, due to the increased value of land Of
Ohio. General Grosvenor asserted that the
production of wool increased when the
Dingley tariff was enacted. He said that a
reduction in the tariff on wool has never
made the price of clothing In this country
cheaper, although he claimed all clothing
except the highest grade was cheaper here
than abroad. He claimed that there
should be stronger safeguards against the
importation of high grade wool at the valu-
alton of low grade wool.
sheep Breeders Represented.
The sheep breeders Of New York were
represented by E. E. Dana of Avon, n. Y.
He claimed that the present tariff on wool
is the owest under which the sheep in
dustry can survive. Theodore Justice Of
Philadelphia, who claimed that he repre-
sented the consumer, said that the exist
ing tariff is satisfactory as a revenue pro.
Queer. Archbold Moore, a wool grower OF
West Virginia and +. G. Johnson, repre-
senting the Idaho wool growers. spoke
against a reduction In the wool tariff.
William Whitman OF Boston, representing
the National Wool Manufacturer and the
American Association of Wooden and
Worsted Manufacturers, spoke against any
tariff agitation as being more harmful in

LINCOLN DEBATE COMES NEXT
Omaha High School Boosters Prepnrs
ing for Big Reception for
Visitors.

Definite arrangements are being made
by the High School Boosters club for the
annual debate with the Lincoln High
school. A committee under Herbert Ryan
and Marie Hodge will attend to the deco
rating and Frederick Mcconnell, Will Ross
and Coe Buchanan will have charge Of
the entertaining of the Lincoln team.
The debate Is to be held at the Crelgh-
ton auditorium December IL and will be
the most important affair of the year with
the literary societies.
Posters and other advertising will be
under the direction Of Lyle Roberts. Mary
Philllppi and Donald Wood. The ticket
contest will be similar to the one for the
foot ball games. The contest will be
managed by Howard Roe. who will d.
vide the 1900 tickets among the repre-
sentatives Of the four classes.
Negotiations are being completed among
representative of the Omaha, West Des
Molnes and Kansas City high schools for
the triangular debate which is to take
place early next March. Athletics and De-
batting Instructor Cherrington will this
week submit his suggestions as to what
the question ought to be, and before long
1t is expected that the exact date and
other details of the forensic contests will
he decided upon. All three schools will
have two teams each, one to debate one
side of the question at home, and the
other to defend the other side of the ques-
ton at another school. This year Omaha
will send a team OF two debaters to Des
Moines and Kansas City will send a team
here. Last year the local debaters won
the honors Of the triangular contest by
winning both at home and I'm Kansas
City. Every effort is now being made to
duplicate the performance this year.
Plans are being made to give a banquet
to the members of the foot ball squad,

its effects than could be compensated by
any changes the wooden industry may de-
sire. He said that there Is no wooden
monopoly or trust and that a reduction in
the tariff would result in a reduction in
wages.
Nearly the entire afternoon was taken up
in questioning Mr.. Whitman. Representa-
tive Crumpacker of Indiana read statistics
which showed that the duty on cheap.
blankets equals and ad valorem duty of
165 per cent, that the duty on cheap wor-
steds equals 1874 per cent ad valorem and
los per cent on cheap dress goods.
DO you believe that 100 per cent duty is
necessary to protect any manufacturers of
woolens?" asked Mr.. Crumpacker.
Mr.. Whitman again expostulated that the
reduction in the duties would be disastrous
to the wooden trade.
Mr.. Clark questioned Mr.. Whitman with
regard to the part he played in the franz
ing of the Wilson and Dingley tariff bills,
Sc uring the admission that Mr.. Whitman
had been very active in suggesting the
wording of various paragraphs.
North Makes Explanation.
s. n. D.. North, directo. OF the census,
stated tonight that he had acted as clerk
to the senate COHlHllllee On lhdnCe III lS
hearings on both the Wilson bill in 1894 and
the Dingley tariff bill in 1880, but that in
neither hearing, he said, was he in the pay
of the government. His salary was derived
from the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers of whom he was one time
secretary. "At that time / was a private
Citizen he said, and l do not see that

According to Mr.. North he was invited
by Senator Aldrich on both occasions to as
This he did, he said, because he was and
is a personal friend of the senator. 1t was
during this time that the National Asso-
citation of wollen manufacturers was ad-
vised constantly Of the proposed changes
in the wollen tariffs, resulting in the
charges that the tariff was so manipulated
as practically TO give the manufacturers
immunity from foreign competition.

Big Price for Big Steer.

A SDo-pound steer was sold In the

Perley, $3o0,sO. This is the largest price
ever paid for an animal which was not
sold on a pedigree. The animal was sold
largely on account OF its exhibition value.
The steer was 5 years old and OF the
shorthorn breed, but not thoroughbred ap-
parontly. The animal was surely a mon
ster of its kind. 1t had the attention OF
scores OF commission men and tockme
who were at the yards yesterday. Mr..
Perley kept the steer on account OF its
remarkable development both as a veteran
OF the range and as a youngster. Its
first years growth was equal to about
what one would expect in a 2-year-old.
