Rutland, Nov 15.-The deer season
opened here to-day under ideal conditions
because Of six inches of newly fallen
snow, but the number Of hunters In the

Ing to the lateness of the open season ana
the consequent unfavorable conditions

II Is generally conceded by farmers and
sportsmen that the deer are much more
scarce than formerly in this vicinity due
to the two oper seasons on docs Except
for the favored few who have permanent
hunting lodges most Of tho hunters In
this vicinity will go out for day or

half way over. This is the last trace
of Mr.. Mix, as his hat was found in

Rue de Caumartn. The boulevard end
of the new street has been cleared for
some weeks past and foundations are
being laid. According TO the promises
of the architects the Rue Edouard VII
is to be something new in Paris and
will become the center of the Partisan
West End.
The street. to begin with will be en-
tirely private property. The pavement
of the footpaths is to be of marble. At
the bend is to be a garden, and in the
midst of it statue of King Edwa I'd.
Who the sculptor will be Is not stated.
Glass roofs will jut out over the pave
ment. shielding foot passengers from
rain or sun, along the whole length Of
the street The newest kind of inter
national hotels, two or three in number.
will be built with doors on the Rue
E,douard VII. and the shops will be the
best in Paris.
The ambition of the dWard VII street
of Paris evidently is to cut out the Rue
de la Paix. II will be opened to traf
fic in two Years time o. less. Finally,
the. most remarkable feature Of the
Rue Edouard VII Will be that, being a
private road it Will he entirely and
