AT THE HOTELS.


Washington is most beautiful city,
according to Capt E. L. T. Leathem. OF
the British navy, who is registered
at the Shoreham from London. The Eng
lish navy officer is a six-footer and Is.
comparatively speaking, a young man.
He has the frank ways ana outspokeR
manners OF the seafaring man, but de-
clines to discuss matters pertaining 70
the British or any other navy on the
ground that he is precluded from doing
so by the rules and regulations Of the
service.
Capt Leatham, however. admitted that
the American navy is very fine"
Washington Is a most beautiful city"
said the Englishman. Il dare say It is
one Of the most beautiful cities In all
the world, and will lead them all before
many years in every department Of what
constitutes a model community What
made most agreeable impression on
me were the handsome, costly govern
ment buildings. the beautiful parks. and
shaded trees throughout the city, the
well-kept. clean condition OF the streets.
the attractive private residences, and the
fine appearance OF the people. There IS
10 doubt in my mind that the Library
Of Congress Is the most beautiful build
ing Of its character IN all the world"
Henri Dueollet, Of Paris, who Is on his
annual business tour Of the United
States, and was seen at the Raleigh, in
| discussing his American interests, said:
/ business is improving almost in every
/ section OF the United States. I have
travelled from east TO west and from
north to south. and. despite the con-
tinuous talk about the late financial cri-
sis. found prosperity everywhere. Cities
are growing. and new streets and build
/ ings are springing up like mushrooms.
! There is energy and vitality on all hands
/ There is but one fault find with Amer
leans. and that Is that they are toe much
inclined 20 speculate. which fact hurts
the sale OF American bonds in Europe
During my long trip" continued Mr..
Duc0let. i had the opportunity TO talk
with Americans who had visited France.
but I am sorry to say that the majority
OF them have not the right idea OF Paris,
and do that city and the French people
a great injustice. The fault is ours to a
certain extent. Very often the inter-
prefers Of Paris hotels misdirect the
touring Americans there 70 places which
even few Parisians themselves know.
That is one OF the main reasons why for
eigners not able to speak the French
Language get a wrong conception OF
French life.
Our grand Paris Is not only the center
Of gay life. but it is the greatest center
OF labor OF the world. Our university
and high grade schools were never at
tended by as many scholars as they are
at this time. We have never had 50
many foreign students as now, many OF
them being Americans Paris is still
the great center OF production for objects
OF fine arts. Besides. Paris offers TO the
j visiting foreigner her magnificent palaces
} and churches. some Of them entirely
unique in the world not only as archi
tectUral masterpieces, but also for th'
magnificent collections which they house

GREYHOUND JOINS COYOTES.
Pet of an Oregon Farmer Responds

Pet of an Oregon Farmer Responds
TO the Call of the Wild.
From the PUTtlsnd OTVguuian
A once tame greyhound. owned by
Martin Smith, OF Sandy, has become Wild
and now lives with the coyotes it for
merry chased IN the surrounding hills.
II has been three years since this
greyhound heard and responded 10 the
call Of the wild. and II has never ven
tured back 10 hts old home in Sandy
except 70 come 10 the outskirts 10 steal
chickens from hen roosts.
The companion OF this greyhound is a
coyote, and they have frequently been
seen together running through the out
skirts OF Sandy. Several persons have
tried 20 get photographs Of the strange
couple, but have failed.
The greyhound has lost al desire 70 re-
turn TO his former home, and has become
even more wild than his companion. The
animal has quite history. having been
raised from a puppy in the neighborhood
One day he disappeared from his home.
and several weeks afterward was seen
with the coyote which has been his con-
slant companion ever since.

why Men Wear Trousers.

From TIE New Orleans Item.
in pondering the apparently irrecon-
cilabIe Inconsistencies Of this life. the
vexed question Of trousers must inevi-
tably occur TO the speculative philOs-
We wear them? are questions which no
man has solved that thought upon them
until the other day.
unsupported Of the world, there IS IN
an obscure town Of Missouri an intel
lect capable Of dealing with the mystery.
After what years OF bordering we know
not, this mighty brain has brought forth
a theory which. like the alchemist's
stone. has transformed the base metal
CT our ignorance into the pure. clear
gold OF understanding.
In the Democrat. Of Benton. No. the
simple. the inevitable. the tremendous
solution IS thus Unfolded:
NO living man OF this age ever d.
liberately chose 70 adopt trousers He
was forced into them and all other &c
centricitles OF dress by women IN the
very earliest sartorial experience he IS
swathed in a queer bundle OF fncoherent
bandages by a woman Later she puts
him in cute dresses so that the neigh
bors can't tell him from his little sister.
Still later she cuts OF his curls and puts
him IN knickerbockers. and he puts on
long pants when she gives the word-npt
before.
That is all that man has 70 do with
wearing trousers. Women forced him
into them IN the first place. and nov he
is afraid to wear anything else for fear
OF making a sensation"
OF course, there is no doubt about the
matter at all now. We wear trousers in
subservience TO women. and. perhaps,
just a little, in fear Of the police.

It may be. as the Nashville American
says-although we doubt it-that a ma

wish Patterson 10 be governor again:
but Il is painfully evident that a ma
jority Of the people OF Tennessee do not.
And the Democracy OF Tennessee may
do well not TO overlook that fact.
