u Uoiih Carolinian iTuroail Mr. C. Y. Tillett Sket chcs rcoplo IIo Meets hi Paris,' Aug. 26. Parisians seem to . score of . others whose names are act a though ground iwaa as cheap ls .household words to you all.; Here .&1 .ddrt Xothlnsr aelonltfhes you more so reposed for awhile the bodies of ehan the almost wasteful extravagance they have shown In daylng out their principal streets and .boulevards. Right in the heart of, the city, where land cnust foe worth many -hundreds of tfrancs .per square foot, ' they thavs toroad stretches of space, some lor ve hicle .and some for-pedestrians, and a - very larg-e part Intended. ; merely tor adornment.; Taks, fat Instance, " the Place tie la Ooncord, that Interesting ifpot wlii!h may ibe considered the cen tre o.th jcity amd yet after all it Is nothing but 1he Intersection of a num ber .of streets and boulevards, yet there Is vacant space- enough for hun dreds., of yard around the Egyptian Obelisk, which is its centre-piece. But when yott look " the aumber of people that use the streets, "you see thatjthey, fivere wise who Ibuilided the "SxTfii' -."ttrtsV 'fcitttMC.-T'It looks like -E?r.way-every where. cThta result is i brought about from the fact that they have comparatively so few street cais ' and the people seem to depend large ly on oraqii'busejs and cabs to ta.ke Ihem t over, distance too great to . walk. There .'is . perfect stream of them passing everywhere all the time, and ".It Is lortnnate. that there h&ve been placed little elevated atone platforms, " hfrrand, ihexe-, as places of refuge for pedestrians; ; The only "ypy to jrross the street Is to look around you, take 4 your Jife in your hands and make ft dash for one of these platforms., v "r A BEAUTIFUL. ClTTt. ,VV Yes. Paris As ' beautiful toeautlful beyond description,' flsut does not sur pass Vienna , and Berlin a.r rnutfh as I expected. I,5 have a most enohamtlng eituatldn. from which to1 view It. i ,We re, the- Hotel Palais d' Orsay, right on rtfie' ibanks of the , historic Seine. My room overlooks the river and I I (rtaive one of hose fovea jr (MM le (private ibalconiea (which I, have already jxro ,iouncd better than a. fwrlvate bath) . and standing in this balcony there Is oerore me the Tuillerts gardens just over (the river, from which there conies floating up every evening ths most, beautiful music both of the or chestra and the human voice. To tny right is the Louvre, once the Pamce . f the Kings, now the world's wfost famous treasury of art. To my left, lh fair view or the Palace de la Con cord, surrounded - by beautiful monu ments,' now looking a very Place of Peace, and having little about it to ' remind the onlooker that this Is the spot where poor Louis XVI and his bcaurtiful 'but Ill-fated wife, Marie An to4nette.JIost their heads on the Moody $njillotlne. ..' From this Doint, leads'the C'a.gMW Blyseee up through a long vlstoto.the summit of th hill nrhlh -tiJWwned ' fcy ' 4Jie Arch of Triumph, one of the many memorials erected by the most aimbltioua man that ever lived to commemorate, his bloody vic tories. A little -way beyond this a-reh, lnths.'.yery swellestpart'of the city, 1s line house of Anna Gould,- the poor rirl who -sold herself for the title of Oountw and will never be done pay ing. fjrjtt..... - -ack-near my hotel is the Cham -ber of Deputies, the place where argu menu are .enforced both "by the tongue and the fist. I had to go Into this ouiKiing and conceitedly took a eeatlhad built for himself. It looked lik In the Presidents ohalr and attempted) for a moment to picture some of the fctorms that Monsieur le President had tried to quell from thJs eeat. It. is the most compact room. I ever saw and throws the members so close to gether, maybe if they would use some of-the epace of the Place de la Con . cord and get the members farther apart, they would not fight so much. - GRAND OPERA HOUSE Away down at the other end of an other iboulevard ia the Grand Opera Uouse, which B claimed to be the fln eat "opera, house in the world. We were .(fortunate in nndlng one of the grand operas, on the hoards Valky iia. il think it. was, iby Wagner (tae (musicians will know if I get K right). I was enchamted by the elegant grand Btairway awd the -beautiful hall and $tages settings. There were over a hundred members titf- the orchestra taJone. The gist of the opera seemed to be that a woman was married to :'JOisr3naU'."-apd .loved another which I suppose was a very appropriate plat tor Paris. . The singers, not many in number, were very fine I suppose. All I can tell is that they certainly could "whoop 'em up." It was some c-HX,Nors (legend and there was the iwierdest scenery and the wierdest aniuelc, All combined to make you feel creepy. .It- closed In a burst of or eftWlra -arid song, while on the stage h"e was produced the most startling Representation of a mountain on fire, '-'with the tongues of flame bursting up through its icrevices. I kept wishing somebody that could appreciate grand opera had ibeen there in my place. Between the acts, we walked down tnto that famous foyer and promenad1 . jM for fifteen, minutes. Everybody jdeftf it.. There we saw the ladies and frenitlemen of Pari. I felt a little awkward in such a place without a . dress suit -until I discovered others In airb wfh as I wore. That Is one of the comforting' things of liffe that whenever and wherever I ai t the Jay I have company. -' BRILLIANT ILLUMINATION. vParla is brilliantly illuminated with et&itrlc lights. It was, I believe, the first city In the world to adopt them, This recalls a reminiscence which you will (pardon me for (relating. When" I was at college we commenced the puh Jkation of a college paper and I had . the;Hhonor of being - its first editor. WJien I wrote my father of the ven- xurene repnea: "Aian is a vapor, PiiU of " woes, He starts a paper ; ' m 1 : And up h goes." But ithat was not what I (Intended to toll. In the (all of 1878, I wrote for this publication aaredltorial quib In. these words: "We see It stated in a current paper that one of the boule- vards of Paris is liKhted with electric : liffhts. a seems not beyond the raaigs .,oi postrtblilty that the streets of our ,own cities may some day e Sighted in the same wonderful way." How pro . phetic that seems now when the South ' srn Power Company of my own city has lisrnessed ths Catawbi river, it miles away; and is making it furnish this iame light to sJmost every town and toamlet wittrin s radius of so mllesl J ' I- can't tosgin to tll you all j saw in j Paris.

A single column ' on which a statue of peace and an open square around It now stand to wart' no, to4ot where stGi-d for five hundred years the most historic pris on in the world, whose walla of m-i monee height and , almost incredible .hlckntSit were torn d-own by the men. .women and children of the revolution. By the way, everywhere you look her oir see intcrVbed dver ejeh, door and gate th-it trlHlant ery uttered ? the people so long ago, "Liberty, Equal , Ity, Fraternity.'!, akrlo of words that more completely express the privileges and. duties of oitisenaaip than any that were ever uttered. " i i Napoleon's tomto is the one place here which seems most attractive to visitor. ,, Indeed, .It may be doubted yhether any man ever .'lived : wfcose personality Interests as many people as hie 4oes, and the Freikch do not inrena that you snail aose eignt or mm for they have placed Imejftorials of him on aimost every street corner. This tomb la the gr.iudet o all, - By -what imemr tc me a strange iwconalstency they have an immense gilded crucifix erected In th4 glittering dome. What associatton can theirs be b-tween this man and the Prince f Peace ? But it ts none the less "off.utiiut. The Bun was shining through the glass and made a perfect halo of glory about everything. The casket Is placed in a rotunda , below the level of the ground floor in the same way as Gen eral Grant's In the tomb in New York. There rsvno Inscription here except six names written n large letters of gold on the floor around his body: "Aus terlits, Marengo, Pyramids. Moscow, Friedland, Wagrom." Above the door at the lower entrance to the tomb are recorded his pathetic words: "I desire that my ashes repose upon the banks of the Seine among the French peo ple whom I love so well." I did not And the word "Waterloo" written anywhere; that, alas, is written upon another tomb that lies in great St. Paul's Cathedral In London. A RIDE TO VERSAILLES. That was a most charming ride that we took in a big brake twelve miles out to Versailles. The air was crisp and exhilarating and t'.ie loud cracks of the long . whip over the backs of the horses made our blood tingle as we drove first through the streets of the :ity, on through the Boia de Bologne, through the elegant St. Cloud's Park then through the country district to the Trianon Pal aces the home of the Louis and for awhile of Napoleon. We saw por traits of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI painted front life. They showed us the beds on which these Kings slept and also Napoleon's bed. The shortness of his bed impressed me more than ever before with the fact that the great military chieftain was sucn a small man. There was a room at' this palace containing the carriages of State, the handsomest as usual being the one that NaDoieon it was of gold. There was also Ma- tie Antoinette's carriage and the car riage of the little King of Rome. These carriages are sometimes used now, one of them having been taken out to carry the King of Slam on the occasion of his visit here two weeks ago. The guide told; us with a s'.irug ol nis snouiuers that the onlv two French Presidents who had ridden In the fine carriages of Royalty had both been assassinated.- But the Great Palace at Versailles is the place of most interest. Here we saw the chapel in whicli Louis AVI and Marie Antoinette were mar rlod, the balcony on which La Fay ette lea the poor Queen out in the presence of the mob that came from Paris thirsting for her blood, he tak ing her by the hand and exhibiting 'ier to the infuriated people with the hope of appeasing their wrath, as brave an act to my mind as any that has ever been recorded lrthe annals or courage. There also was the room In which the Swiss Guards defended her with their lives on the fateful day when they seised her and carried her away to Paris. We all looked with Intense Interest on her boudoir which has been preserved Intact, and I wish that all the young mothers In Charlotte could have seen, the dainty little baby chest In which he kept the clothes of the little Dauphin. There are many portraits of this beautiful Queen about the Palace. The guide called our attention to on and said with grim humor, "Her neck was too long and the mob shortened IRONY OF FATE'. In this Palace is the room in which the German Empire was proclaimed when the allied powers held It at the close of the Franco-Prussian war. It seems the very irony of fate that the Germans should select a French Pal ace in which to work such an enocli In their history. There I one thing In connection with the German occu pation of this Palace that stirs my deepest admiration. Although the Palace had In it the finest collection of war paintings In the world and although many of the pictures com memorated vltcorles of the French over the Germans In the previous wars, yet not a frame was touched! and these treasures of art were thus preserved for all generations. (I couldn't help wondering what Sher man would b&va done under similar cireumstances). The German army, by the way, when . It marched Into Paris went only so far as to pass un der the Arch of Triump-.i and there It stopped. Some said it .was because they were afraid that the Parisians had turned the ClmmpsElysees Into a powder magazine, ready to blow up the whhle . army If it attempted to march into the heart of Paris, but is it not a better ressort that they want ed to show the Fteno'j an J the dead paooleon himself that the monument wnrcn was erected to csmmeznorate In part hs victories over the Ger mans was at last in the bands of the Germans, nd they would thus remove the bitter sting of defeats perpetuated by this monument? i "How to Do Louvre in Three Hours." Look out for this publica tion by well-known Charlotte lady who along with others "did -it" In that time. I believe It is agreed on all hands that this building contains a larger and finer collection of works of art than. any other In the world, and ths height of the ambition of sr. tUts of this day it'to have one of his paintings to nang on Its walls, fie- tore going to tne iuvre we were very properly taken to art exhibit called, I believe, The Gallery of the Immortality," where fine paintings and sculpture which are "candidates' ror tne Louvre are first placed, In order-that the- "governing body of " the Wuvrs may bare the judgment ot the I J ti . tr t'. srl t H wor tny to be transferred, arm when you visit the Louvre I want you to see if it is not there. It is a picture entitled "Peter and John Running to the Sep ulcher." It more, -completely depicts eagerness and anxiety than I ever thought was possible to be placed on canvas. IX THE LOUVRE. In the Louvre Itself there are two miles of paintings and sculpture. I walked down through aisles lined with works of Leonardo, da Vinci, Van Dyck and such like. .1 saw the original statue called. Venus of Milo, and looked at the-original of Milet's Gleaners and many others of equal renown, enumeration of which would only serve to harrow your feelings. There also were the crowns of Louis XIV . and of Napoleon and the, dia mond-studded sword of Napoleon One of our moat thrilling experien ces was going up In the Elfel Tower, 900 feet In the air, which you see Is more than 308 feet higher than the Washington monument. We went up In three stages three different ele vators. It certainly gives a glorious view of Paris. The, horses in the streets looked like ants. It Is built of steel and is capable of accommodating several thousand people . at one time op the various platforms, which of course get smaller the higher you a go. By the way, owing to . the fact that metal of this kind becomes brittle and unsafe after long ; use, it is under stood that this tower will be taken down in two years, so "you had. better hurry If you want to Bee George." There Is one thlngthat I am proud of my French cousins for and that is that they do not charge admission In to tombs, Palaces and art- galleries, which is another proof of the claim that .the French people are the best- mannered olks In the world. We haven't had to pay for an admission into a single place of this kind. If the Germans of - Australns had the tomb of Napoleon within their bounds, they would make a regular mint, of It and nobody would catch sight of It without paying at least half a mark, Saturday night I went out to see Paris and I saw well, I'm not going to tell you what I , saw. Did any man ever go away from Paris and tell all he saw? You really don't expect it, dO you? After all' Paris Isn't so much gayer $han the balance of the world. There, are to be sure some rather nov el sights the women hack drivers for instance. I saw somPvery debon nair maidens walking the streets clad In divided ,skirts. The Paris ladies have a way of catching their skirts in the left hand and giving the right le , excuse me limb I mean, a swing that our American ladies have not quite caught yet, but I have no doubt that it is crossing the water and that I shall see it going down Tryon street before the winter is over. The female portion or our party have been much disappointed In this city as a shopping place. Not that there are not lots of pretty things, but every thing is so expensive, and this coupled with the fact that we are getting near the end of our journey, when money is always scarce, has brought to pass that we are not leav ing much of our money in PariH. There were dresses in the windows that were what is the set phrase? Oh. yes creations of art, but they were out of sight. But dear me, I am about to get into the realm of female apr parel, which is always a dangerous thing for a man todo, and so, not to Tun any risk I'll quit, altho rfeally I have not told you half I know about Paris. TRIAL BY JURY. Question of Its Locality Zone to Come Before In Canal Supreme Court. Washington, Sept. 13. The ques tion whether trial by jury is hereaf ter to - become-an institution in the canal aone will be tested by the Su preme Court of the United States in the interest of an undeserving black West Indian employe who murdered his wife because she insisted upon his dropping an "affinity" after her arrival. He. was sentenced to be hanged, bub' the case came before the court on a writ of error and the prisoner will not be hanged to morrow. ' ' ' Standard to Pay DivWond. New York, Sept. 13. Although re cently sentenced to pay a fine of over $29,000,000, the Standard Oil rOom pany, of New Jersey, the parent con cern, will pay the usual quarterly div idend of $8 per share to-morrow. This swells the dividend payments so far this year to $30 a share. The dividend for the preceding quarter was $9 per share, while the first disbursement of tha-year was $li per share. To-morrow's dividend is ths same amount as was paid at this time a year ago and in 1905, and the amount declared on the company's stock up-to date this year is the same as that declared for the first, three-quarters of 1908 and 1905. Tor the full years of 1905 ftrid 1906 the Standard OH Company paid $40 a share. The company's highest recorded dividend rate was per cent., which amount was disbursed In 1900 and 1901.

Delegates to the' Republican Conven-; rums Are Aot juouna oy uio unit Rnb. Leslie's Weekly. i Let the prophets who are awaiting the result of the Taft-Foraker. th Cummins-Shaw, and the other State contests bear in mind thai the imme diate outcome in those fights will no mean as much as it would it Demo cratic aspirants were involved. 7here is no unit rule in State delegations in j Republican national conventions. The Democrats have had such a rule since the early days of ths convention sys-j tern. Not all of the States ind their Dennocratla delegates to oast .-' th enire vote as a unit, tout whenever & State does this its wishes are respected in Democratic national gatherings. If Tuft should win in the coming contest in Ohio this would not necessarily mean that he would et the solid vote of his State In the convention. Some; of the district delegates might want to vote for somebody else, and if so, their wishes would prevail with the national body. In the Republican convention of 1878 Pennsylvania had directed 11 Its members to vote for Governor Hartranft, that State's favorite son, but several of the SOate's delegates ap pealed to the convention to let them vote for somebody slse, and the con vention did it. In one or two previous Republican national conventions dele gates were also' allowed to vote as In dividuals when they asked permission to throw oft the majority yoke. It was In the national convention or, 1880 that the unit rule was formally and probably finally abandoned by the Republicans. William H. Robertson and some of the other New York del- egates wanted to break away from the Instructions of their State, which j would bind them to vote for General Grant for a third nomination, and the convention sustained them. This weakened Conkling who was the leader of the Grant forces In the con vention, and started the feud between Conkllng and Robertson, which had tragic consequence after Garfield, the nominee of the convention, and the victor in the election, appointed Rob ertson to be collector of the port of New York. The fight which this Rob ertson feud started split the Republi cans in New York, hampered them In other States, gave Cleveland his Im mense majority for Governor In 1882. and made him President in 1 884. No serious attempt' has been made lo restore the unit rule In the Repub lican conventions since 18S0. The in dividual delegate votes as he choose, regardlee of the ukase of the bosses. Tn this respect Republican conven tions are more de-moratlo than are Democratic conventions Likewise they are more national. Through the unit rule State sovereignty assorts It self decisively in Democratic assem blages. Hens Answer Itugle Call. Sacramento, Cal., Correspondence Of Phil'iuleLphla North Amerl'an. To John A.
