Trolley Cars in Paris.
Paris Correspondence London Telegraph.


A battle royal has been waged in the
municipal council Of Paris between the
trolleyites and the anti-trolleyites, and
victory has smiled on the former The
question arose in connection with the re-
newal of the concession to the City and
Suburban Electric Tram Company, which
insisted on extending It's trolleys to the
Arc de Triomphe. The perfect of the de-
partment Of the Seine was favorable to
the granting of all the desired privileges
in the more populous districts. and the
committee Endorsed his views. The oppo-
sition, however, made desperate on
slaught on the scheme. Were we to sec
trolleys in the fashionable quarters. and
in the Avenue de la Grande Armee? The
idea was unbearable. The trolley, they
argued. was the most inesthet'c of mod
ern inventions. Wires dangling from the
ton of ugly posts, and trans running
along with things like fishing rods, We're
ouensive to the eyes. All the old argu-
rnents were reproduced. But member
the council. delivered a great speech, in
which he treated the objection to trolley
wires as a mere prejudice. They were
not ugly at all. The posts could be beau
tifully decorated. SO as to be real works
of art, The majority agreed with him.
and practically the whole scheme was
voted. Trolley wires may be erected on
Waeram, and in numerous streets of the
northern quarters Of Paris as far as the
Northern railway station. The only
c,auses thrown out were those permitting
trolieys to extend to the arc de TriOmphe
and on the Boulevard Pereixe.

The Rope Of Genus.

FROM the London Globe.
Few persons who use the phrase Like
the rope of Genus" to denote profitless
labor know the significance Of the ex-
preston or its great antiquity. THE
Rope OF Genus was the name Of picture
painted by Polygnotus. a distinguished
Greek who died In the fifth century b. G.
He is reputed first to have given life
character and expression to painting. Ac-
cording to Pliny he opened the mouth and
showed the teeth OF his figures, and he
was the first TO paint woman figures with
transparent draperies.
Genus was a poor but industrious Greek
whose extravasant wife spent money as
fast as he could earn 1t, and he related
his troubles to his friend the painter
PoIygnotus thereupon painted the picture
of a man weaving a rope of straw, while
behind him stood donkey eating the
rope as fast as II was woven. II Is pleas
ant to relate that the silent lesson had
the desired effect upon the wife Of Genus
and that II was through her subsequent
frugality and thrift that Genus ultimately
rose to position of great prosperity.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. June 1.-Playing for a
rally was the most popular game to-
day in the wheat trade. Weather in
the spring crop districts was not up
to the standard set by the most cap
tious, foreign markets had turned firm
and the disturbing May deal was final
ly thing Of the past.
Announcement was made that all but
100000 bushels OF the bull leaders hold
ings in the old crop month had been
sold Several strong firms showed them
selves openly friendly to an upward turn,
a least temporarily. Dealers taking the
opposite side were scattered and had little
backing in the news. except the official
crop report from Oklahoma, which, how
ever. made a flattering exhibit. The open
ing was Il to sac up with September
typical of the whole. at 91,4 to e1a4- That
option later touched 91fs.
Cool temperatures in the corn belt
caused buying on the part of commission
houses. Frost was reported In Illinois.

NEW YORK, June 1.-There was an
other break in prices of stocks today
when the market opened. as a further e1-
feet OF the granting of an injunction
against The proposed advance In western
railroad rates The market had to absorb
liouidation from foreign sources, when
had the first news of the government
action today.

Supporting orders and short covering
steadied prices Immediately after the
ousning. but offerings continued very
heavy. and prices broke again.
Humiliation continued to pour into tie
market. and prices Welded steadily be-
fore the stream, without effect from the
occasional supporting orders.
Cause of Decline.
The severe decline in the first hour re-
suited from heavy selling of both ac-
counts Many of the leading commission
houses were reported as having sold long
stock, and the way prices climbed be-
spoke hurried liquidation. \ Significant
feature of tho decline was the selling by
brokerage houses with western connec-
tons.
There was evidence of support in GER
tain stocks, but rallies throughout the
early session were f1tful and hardly SUI
1c!ent to overcome the selling movement.
The first lull in the storm of liquidation
occurred about neon. The bears had been
operating boldly. and when they began
to cover shorts the market had its nrst
effective rally. The rebounds ran 10
noInt in extreme cases and the trading
ouieted down at that time. Then fofN
lowed an hour Of steadiness.

Origin of New York Villages Name
Which It Is Proposed to Change.

From the New York Sun.
The village of Households, n. Y, is
again agitating the question OF changing
its name to North Elmira. The matter
has been brought before the public from
time to time for several years. but so far
the old name has been retained
One result Of the present discussion has
been an inquiry as to how the village OBJ
tained its name. The story generally &C.
cepted Is that in 1779, when Gen. Sullivan
was returning from campaign against
the Indians in Genesee county, he stop
ped here to rest his troops. The sur
rounding country was covered with dense
forest and he was thickly beset with his
enemies, so he determined to shorten his
march by descending the Chemung river
on RATS. AS the depth Of the river was
not known to him and he had no appli-
ances for building large floats. he ordered
that all extra luggage and supplies be de-
stroyed and that all feeble or superduous
horses be killed.
AS soon as the troops had departed the
wolves came forth from the forest and
picked the bones clean. When the In
dams ventured back into this region again
they visited the camp ground and some of
them made a great mound of the bleached
horse heads which they found strewn
about This monument was later found
by the settlers who penetrated into the
valley and because Of It they gave their
settlement the name OF Households.

Cincinnati, which was to have tried the
notwithstanding notion by setting the
clock ahead about this time" has re-
pealed the ordinance to effect it. Little
has been heard this year from England
where the idea has met more favor than
1t has here. Every man can be his own
daylight saver by getting up earlier in
the morning no matter what the clock
says, and that's the way he will do it if
at all. The factories and workshops will
continue to start by the clock, run. in
this country at least, by standard time.
