AN AMERICAN STARTIES
THE ROMAN SOCIETY

Rome.-The Duchess Torlonia. who
was Miss Elsie Moore of New York
has revolutionized Rome society so
far as the mode of ball goes which
she gave a few days ago at the Hotel
Excelsior, in honor of her father and
]. P. Morgan. Nothing like it has
been attended before this American
girl triumphantly introduced here the
New York. style of entertaining. II
was novelty and costly one which
only a few can afford. Up to the
present a Roman hostess, no matter
how prominent and wealthy, ever
dreamed of adding to the usual din
ner an expensive Vaudeville program,
with artists engaged from AL over
Europe, and a ball.
J. Pierpont Morgan's introduction
in Roman society and his appearance
at social functions chaperoned by an
American girl is another fact much
discussed, on his former visits Mr..
Morgan met very few people and pre-
ferred to be alone or with a small
party of selected lifelong friends
This year he has changed his entire
way of life. Those who have been
closest to him during his unusually
long stay in Rome say that Mr.. Nor
gan is going to initiate his old friend,
Prince Won Buelow, former Chancellor
of Germany, and buy villa here.
1t is believed Mr, Morgan will spend
his winters here and install in his
villa the art treasures which have
been offered him and the expectation
of which the Italian laws borbid. 1t
is even said that in the end Mr.. Nor
gan may leave this villa to the Ameri-
can government to be used as the Am
bassadors residence. A certain con-
firmation of this comes from Flor
ence to the effect that Mr.. Morgan has
offered to buy the beautiful StroZzl
palace, for which Prince Strozzi had
asked a prohibitive price. The palace
contains a most remarkable art gal
lery, where value Is hard to estimate
Mr. Morgan's yearly visit has, OF
course, given rise to the usual croI
of rumors. This year, it Is said, he
came here to deal personally with q
couple of Roman princes who are fast
selling off their art treasures. Fol
the present we must be satisfied with
what is said, but as matter of fact
these two Roman mobiles are disposing
| of their old masters, and the italian
authorities have been on the watch
for some time.

French Official Blames Public Houses
For Decline of French Character.

Paris.-In a speech delivered at
Lyons, NJ. Joseph Reinch said that
successive ministries were in a great
measure responsible for the growing
alcoholism in France, as the question
was too often regarded from the fiscal
standpoint.
He was in favor of the limitation
of public houses. Had proposition
to this effect been adopted in 1895,
there would now be $4,000 public
houses the less in France, and six
new ones would not be opened every
day.
"Our $4,000 public houses" he
said, "sell every year nearly 44,000,-
900 gallons of spirits, and under the
continual action of alcoholic intoxi-
cation, madness tuberculosis and i'm
pulsive criminality have about doubl-
ed in the last quarter of a century"

make but one rod of road make
that good" will work all right and
we all will get benefits from it, but
if part of the road is impossible
and you can't get to yonr piece of
good road what benefit is it. My
theory is, good road bed through
your district first, then the tax
payers that are putting up for it
will get some benefit for their
money as they go along, but if you
try to build boulevard as you go
some of us will be paying taxes in
a dryer climate ..!L.::.r ..h;s
