PARIS AND CITY LIGHTS
Interests of Citizens Always Guarded
in Contracts for illumination.


in Contracts for illumination.
Paris. in its dealing with the light
ing companies, always has guarded
the interests OF the city and of it's
citizens. 1t has learned that there
can be no competition between such
companies in the same area, and that
it is futile to attempt to regulate by
competition business which is mo-
nopollstlc in its nature. The gas COM
pany pays the city $4,000 each year
for the right to put its pipes under
the sidewalks; the streets and public
buildings are lighted at cost. and 4
million dollars year, in addition, is
paid for the franchise. There are no
obstructive wires in the streets. Most
American cities would congratulate
themselves on having made an ex-
traOrdinary bargain if, in return for
the privileges they accord the gas
companies, they should have the
streets and public buildings lighted
at cost. But Paris obtains that con-
cessiOn and million dollars a year
in addition to it.
The telephone system of Paris is
operated by the national government
in connection with its postoifice, and,
while it pays nothing for its telegraph
wires and pneumatic tubes, it pays
literally for its telephone wires. MI
merous private telegraph and tele-
phone wires also pay for their privi-
leges, and from these sources, togeth-
er with the payments from the COM
pressed air company, the municipal
treasury is in receipt of a revenue
approaching million francs. This is
in addition to the payments from the
gas and electric light companies for
their privileges under the sidewalks.
In the past ten years Paris also has
received over IL million dollars as
rentals and license fees from compan-
les and individuals using the streets
for passenger transportation. From
the concessions in the market places
the city has an income yearly of more
than $780, 00.-OutloOk.

NEW RESORT ON GULF COAST
Charles p. Taft Plans Texas Seaside
City of First Magnitude.

Sity OF FIrSt Magnitude.
Portland, on the Gulf Coast, is to be-
come resort of the first magnitude,
when well-laid plans of Charles P.
Taft, brother OF the President, mil
lionaire publisher and ranch owner,
have been carried to completion.
Negotiations for Improvements at
Portland in Mr.. Taft's general scheme
already call for an expenditure approx
imating one-half million dollars. John
&. Willacy of Corpus Christi, state
senator. who was in San Antonio Mon
day, has signed three-year contract
with Mr.. Taft to direct the work
Senator Willacy considers this the
biggest single Improvement enterprise
planned or contemplated in Texas to-
day. Other capitalists are associated
with Mr.. Taft in the project.
1t is proposed to make a seaside and
winter resort-a yeritable city, on the
Corpus Christi Bay frontage of the
miles from Taft, the headquarters of
the ranch. One hundred and twenty
five men are now at work. Two arte-
sian wells will be drilled and an en-
pensive water system is planned as is
a drainage arrangement. There will
be comfortable hotels, pavilions and
boat houses. A high dam will be
constructed at the Gum Hollow Duck
Shooting Lake, a spot famous among
spOrtSmen.
1t is planned to make beautiful ter
race along the high bluff and table
land at the waters edge. A fourteen
mile automobile loop, around the re-
sort, is 4 feature OF the plans.-San

YOUNG Mr.. GRIsWoLD's CASE
Why the Puppy Love" Plaintiff Gets
the Merry Ha Ha From the Public.

A young Mr.. Griswold of New York
to whom he says he was engaged for
$4,000 as slight Salve for the wound
his affections received when she dis
carded him unceremoniously. He has
kindly furnished to the newspapers a
quantity of the lady's notes and postal
cards written to him during the period
when he fondly hoped that she would
be his, and being very foolish espistles
the papers gloat over them as a de-
lightful feature in the silly and dull
season.
But young Mr.. Griswold receives no
sympathy from the hard-hearted press
and public. On the contrary, he is
jeered and ridiculed, though opinion
seems to be general that he had rea-
son to consider himself 4 favored and
accepted sutton. The common view
seems to be that it is woman's priv
ilege to change her mind on matrimon-
ial matters and if the rejected lover
does not like it he should take his
medicine and say nothing.
Young Mr.. Griswold is surprised
and grieved over this attitude toward
himself. He does not deny that he
was fond of the lady, but he holds,
not unreasonably, that being poor, 1t
was natural that he should regard her
wealth as one of her attractions, just
as foreign nobIemen do who seek rich
American wives, and look forward
with pleasure to the privilege of shar-
ing it. When he found that the happy
dream of being her husband was not

disappointment should be healed in

money. Tilted women bring breach

and surprised way, and people think

When young Mr.. Griswold is older

provide. Woman is at a disadvantage

HeaIthqrams for Hot Weather.

The health department has issued n
number of new "Healthgrams." Some
OF them are apropos Of the hot weather
and its attendant illnesses. Here they
are:
"To keep cool, don't talk hot"
Bath tubs are not luXuries-they
are necessities"
Hot baths are facilitating unless
followed by cold baths.'
THE best bath is in water about 81
degrees Fahrenheit"
Gardens are more conductive to
health than houses"

fresh air; sunshine and music"

the late summer and early autumn
days. So are the flies. Catch the

Observing St. Johns Day.

The plucking of St. Johns Wort. or
Devils Flight. on June "a, which is
both Midsummer Day and the Feast of
st. John the Baptist. is a ceremony
still observed by the peasantry of
France and Germany, who hang it in
their windows as a charm against
storms. thunder and evil spirits. At
Oxford University ST. Johns day was
until recently the occasion of a curious
ceremony. The university sermon for
the day was delivered from the old
stone pulpit on the west front of Mag
dalen College, which, together with the
surroundings, was deckcd with green
boughs in commemoration of the Bap-
lists preaching in the Wilderness

WILLETTS' MEXICAN
STORY IS TIMELY
The Double Cross" a Good
Novel, Gains Decided Ad-
vantage by Revolution.

With the loyal troops Of Porfrfo Dfaz
chasing revOlutionists and bandits
around the northern section Of Mexico.
and the newspapers recording the Incl
dents Of the pursuit. the latest tale OF
adventure by ellison WilIetts comes
from the press OF the @ W Dillingham;
Company at & time when II serves q
twofold purpose-it enteTtains the
reader who Is seeking an interesting
novel. and. while the author perhaps
did not expect IL, the book arrives Just
in time to make II possible for the fol-
lower Of the worlds events to picture
the real and strange conditions in
Mexico
The title. The Double Cross" would
naturally allow the inference that the
book dealt with the situation in Mex
ice. but ME. Willetts did not attempt a
political novel, and THE Double Cross
has nothing to do with the plots and
COunteT-DlOts OF the men Of Diaz' cOun-
try
The Double Cross Is one OF the
most interesting and entertaining nov
els OF the year II IS a continual source
OF surprise. It starts with mystery, and
when half through the reader smiles as
he Sees the only possible ending Then
comes the final chapter and he stfn
thinks he has guessed right, and then
come the closing few hundred words Of
the story and the startling discovery
that the end is an entirely new and un-
expected conclusion Of the tale

THE DREADNOUGHT JUSTI-
FIES ITS TITLE.

Anybody who still has any doubt
that the DreadnOught Is appropriately
christened should turn his attention
to Brazil, where one Of the most as
founding performances Of modern
times has Just been given for the
delectation of the civilized world
The spectacle presented by mutinous
sailors who killed their officers OF put
them ashore, seized FIVE warships, held
up merchant vessels for fuel, lombard
ed the capital city, and then put to
sea in search OF more adventure was
amazing enough IN itself, but when
to that is added the abiect terror of
& governmental lawma1ing body in the
ridiculous act Of treating with the mu-
tineers through the medium Of a neu-
t-al envoy and finally granting an
nesty 10 them, the spectacle almost
surpssses belief
The Brazilian sailors may or NAV
not have had cause for grievance; pre-
sumably they had, OF they would not
have gone the length they did But
no matter how Just their cause, It Is
impossible TO view the attitude Of their
government toward them with any
thing but contempt. Just what Brazil
hopes TO gain By establishing such a
precedent Is not clear True, It viii
probably get back its Dreadnoughts, but
it viii have encouraged its sailors to
believe that whenever they want any
thing ali they have to do is to mutiny.
The effectiveness OF a corps Of such
men in time of war would be highly
problematieal
South America has produced some
unique examples of military and DO
litical vaudeville, but Brazil. hereto
fore, has been remarkably free Of them.
The only rational explanation of its
conduct in this instance Is the posi-
bility that, when the amnesty bin was
passed, it had its fingers crossed.

fulfill all the promises of che RePub-
lican platform. This, also. is Presi-
dent Taft's view.
Such loyalty to the platform is good
to Sec True, It has taken good
while for certain of the regular Rspub-
liean leaders in Congress to learn that
It IS well to keep 2 platform promisei
that it is well TO carry out such prom
ises in straightforward fashion and not
try to evade them. But a beIated
awakening is better than none at all
When the special session on the tar
if was under way, as we recall it, it
was repeatedly asseverated that the
Republican platform had not promised
the country downward revision. Some
of the regular leaders in Congress had
no hesitation in declaring tins. Evi-
IDENTIFY the country had a different
opinion.
II, after this, party leaders in Con-
gress proceed on the theory that plat
form promises must be kept in letter
and spirit and that they constitute a
contract with the voters which Is to
be carried out, they viii get along
better. Perhaps the Democratic lead
ers' can reflect on this with profit, too
