Methodist church of that city with a
lecture on Hamlet" by Bishop w. A.
Quayle of Enid, Okla. Bishop Quayle's
speech showed to a high degree the
qualifications both of the actor and
the orator His rapid-fire sentences
were so forceful as to carry the audi

digressions while serving always to
keep the appetite of all whetted as to
what was coming next, were always
illustrative of the point in hand. Bis

Paris, France, July 17-Gen. Por-
firio Diaz has received many official
honors in Paris. Among the Latin
American residents of the capital his
presence has been the occasion of a.
series of brilliant receptions and fetes.
The former president of Mexico was
received by President Fallieres at the
Elysee and later the president paid
return visit to the Mexican. Sonora
Diaz and Nine. Fallieres also exchang-
ed visits.
Several hitherto unchronicled Incl
dents of the long voyage on the Ger
man steamship Ypiranga from Mexico,
have been told by fellow passengers
as interesting side-lights on the aged
soldiers personality. General Diaz
mingled freely with all and talked on
a variety of subjects. Outspoken
thoughts of bitterness at his revolt
ing fellow-countrymen formed the
least place in these talks so eagerly
INDUCED by fellow travellers, anxious
to get a close-to-hand view of the man
accredited with the building up of mod
ern Mexico.
The great topic of interest to Cen
eraI Dlaz was the old world, whose
shores he was approaching for the
first time in his life. He wanted to
know all about the nations of Europe
and especially of France and of Paris.
He recounted often his experiences
with the troops of Napoleon III. to
help the Macmillan campaign when
he was made prisoner by the French
officers, who treated him, however
with the greatest courtesy, more, in
deed, as a friend.
He was greatly affected by the dem
onstrations of welcome at the Spanish
ports. Unlike the times later wher
he was officially greeted in England
and France, he was more at home
therefor those about spoke his owl
Spanish tongue At Santander boat
loads of enthusiastic visitors brought
him masses of beautiful flowers. Th'

The financiers of New York and
Berlin are in active rivalry for op-
portunities to invest French savings
which amount to more than $1,000
600 900 yearly. German diplomacy has
sought for ten years to list govern
ment bonds on the Paris exchange,
but the French government has stead
fastIy refused their admission. French
three per cents sell at SO while inn
perial German three per cents. are
usually at about S5. The German gov
ernment desires to avoil itself of the
French market for an enormous num-
ber of municipal, state and imperial
issues, thus releasing German savings
for investment in industrial and COM
mercial undertakings.
Berlin bankers have been borrowing
great sums from Paris regularly
through Swiss houses, but up to the
present the French government will
not allow German securities of any
sort to be openly listed on the Paris
Bourse. New York has been able this
year to make its first official entry on
the floor of the Paris stock exchange
where three different American stocks
are now admitted. The probability is
that some 20 other companies will re
ceive within the next twelve months

The reaction and after-effect Of

bad-none of these symptoms call for
