Fearful Loss OF Life,

Some idea of the fearful loss
of life in the European war is
gained 10y the statement OF
English army officers now in
the United States purchasing
horses. When asked why in
terror mounts were purchased
for cavalry they replied that
as the average life of a horse on
the great battle lines in France
and Belgium is but three or four
days there is no need of high
bred horse whose lives would
not last n week on the firing
line. The comparative figures
on the life of the soldiers of the
several nations when actually
in conflict has been estimated
as follows: Germans, five days.
French and Belgian, six days:
England, seven days; Servian,
eight days; Russian, nine DAYS.
The average life OF a horse for
the same countries when used
in the firing line is: German.
three days; English and Bel

AT THE PRINCESS.

In a beautiful Parlsian summer gar. den' with a stage setting that is more 1 than beautiful, Miss Adelyne Lowe and Company. European acrohats. ore. sent one of the prettiest and most marvellous acts on the present day vaudeville stage. The characters in this acrobatic sketch are one of the chief features of the act, consisting of an American heiress, an English nobleman, an eccentric character and waiter, a combination to conjure with on any stage. The work of this quartet is of the most surprising char acter and it is one of those splendid offerings that must be seen to be ap- preciated.
 The henrucKy trio, three dapper black and tans, in singing and piano sketch, offer remarkable clever singing and piano number. The har. mony singing of the trio is the big feature of the act but the black-face comedian is one of those rare negro characters who make you laugh at every turn. It Is a remarkably good black-face act.
 Les Yosts, seulptors in colored clay, a vaudeville novelty in every sense of the word and originators of this act, have an artistic offering that is remarkable. It is one of those quietly artistic acts that never fail to please. and it well deserves the popu-
 arity which it has gained in Hot Springs.
 The Carr Trio. a snappy offering in song, dance and chatter, is one of those delightfully."- charming acts in which splendid singing, some very graceful dancing and a good line of new comedy features.
 The Greys, vocalists, who reverse the usual order of things, the sister singing the baritone part while the brother offers a splendid feminine so- prano. is one of the big surprise acts of the bill As g whole the bill is catchy and clever to a marked degree, a swinging, harmonious offering that Hot Springs audiences like so well.

Judge Gray as a jurist gained, in
the twenty-five years of his service

tional, reputation. Off the bench he
is one of the most companionable of
men. His great stores of learning,
his long service as a student at one
of the German universities as a
young man and the unusual oppor-
tunities which he has had for meet
ing upon terms of itimate friendship
many of the foremost men of affairs,
political. professional and financial,
have enabled him to get together a
store of anecdotes many of which
throw illuminating sidelights upon
the characters of men who in the
generation that has passed were es-
teemed great.

Madrid as a Distributing Centre

except in goods where the manufac-
turer has a practical monopoly In the
trade. High prices being in a sense a
measure of quality, American goods,
always high priced, enjoy a certain
vogue.
Madrid, considered from an Amer
lean point Of view, Is not q
commercial or Industrial centre, but
as compared with other Spanish cities
it's business interests are of great i'm
! portance. Besides being the capital
, and the artistic, literary, railway and
social centre of Spain. Madrid, by
reason of its geographical position in
the heart of Spain, rivals Barcelona,
the chief port and commercial city, as
business and distributing centre. All
Spaniards of Importance In art, poll.
tics, business, society or money come
to Madrid frequently. Many maintain
homes here, in addition to those In
other places, or reside in Madrid while
| the king is in residence.
The population of the city increases
constantly and the taste Of the Mad
rilenian is the fashion throughout
| Spain. The city is to Spaniards, ex-
cept perhaps those of Catalonia, what
Paris is to France. Statesmen from
| its houses travel over Spain soliciting
| trade, and 1t Is likely that its shops
cater to more people than those of
Barcelona. Articles of value but of
small weight are brought to and dis
tributed from Madrid; bulky goods
are held in warehouses in some of
the various Spanish seaports, and al
| though orders are taken by Madrid
houses distribution is made directly
to the customer by the shortest and
cheapest route in order to save
freight charges. There are numerous
small, exclusive shops catering to a
high-class trade whose quarters do
not in any way represent the amount
of business done by them. AS far as
| general business is concerned, consul
lar reports from all parts of Spain
show that Madrid and Barcelona are
the two chief distributing centres of
| the country.
