While London is yet to be explained in detail to all who are interested in our great contest which is so attrac tive that It Is now: receiving the at tention of newspapers all over the state, we are crossing the channel to day for some glimpses of Paris and Parisian life. The Knglish channel is not alto gether ideal. If the crossing is made, by the day bouts there Is a struggle against Mul tier Mer and philosophies which promise so much in these times when put to the test are found to be sadly wanting. If the night crosing bo made, we can hardly apply to the experience the words of Longfellow: "The nisht sha.ll be filled with music And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs And silently steal away." . But the channel separates the con tinent from old England. And as we sometimes in looking back over Hie Journey of life are forced to admit that there are some experiences along the way we could not have afforded to have lost, so we can not afford to lose this, and after all In. the sumer time It Is very often as smooth as the river, only sometimes it isn't. And over the channel lies Paris. It lias a most Interesting history. Not located geographically for natural growth into a great city, it has never the less become one of the' great cities of the modern world. It Is most fasc inating to trace its evolution from the far off times when legend was busy with Ilk history, down through the days when the stockaded Island on which it Is situated was conquered bv those world conquerors, the Romans, to passes the city by. Legends tell of many wonderful things done bv St. Denis, the patron saint of the city, and St, Genevieve, who secured for the people the favor of heaven to that Attila, the Hun, who scourged the north of Italy in his devastating and desolating marches pitscd the city by. Paris is a cheerful city and the people who live in it seem to get a great deal of good cheer and sunshine of life. Their whole conception of life Is 'different from that of their English neighbors. The Englishman takes naturally to the massive dignity and royal gravity of Milton; the French- man is at home with Rabelais. But H is a. mistake to Infer when the throngs of people are seen at the French cafes that there is no home life. The Frenchman's love of home Is per haps even more intense than that of l. tV-llnttmun . A 1 (.!

TUU l the charm of Paris, in charge of a special deputy sheriff. And when the night shadows gath er and the city is brilliantly lighted, and throngs congregate in the cafes and along the sidewalks with music everywhere, then it becomes a picture from fairyland. The July column commemorates the fall of the Bastle and brlnss back the dark and terrible days when a wild struggle for liberty. Paris and France was the scene of a vast orgy of blood As Tennyson wrote in his poem Locksley Hall Sixty Years After. France had shown a light to all men Preached a gospel all men's good Celtic Demos rose a demon, shrieked And seaked the light with blood. The revolution had in its Inception high ideals. Slavery was to be abolish ed, the foreigner given citizenship, and It was granted to Priestly, Wilberforce, Titos. Pnlne and others. Animals were to be treated as the friends of man there was to be an equality of race and along economic lines equality of prices. Disease and death were to be abol ished and not only France but the unl verse was to be at once regenerated. It was a glorious sunrise, and then the night came on. Edicts and laws multiplied until in a feu- months they run up into the thousands. A member of the legislature would have felt at Home and all our little Cromwells wh have been so busy with their little hammers the last few years hastening (Continued on Page Two.) STOHM-SWEPT KIKOPE. Details of Storm Show Great Disaster. Ports Crowded With Vessels. (By Cable to The Times) Loudon, Jan. 62 Details of the damage caused by the terrific storm which for two days has swept the British channel and the west coast of Europe began arriving today.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Jan. 26 Conserva tive New England will be astonished to know that in a short time it may witness the sight, of one of its most, distinguished members of congress making his trips to the United States capilol from the land of the sacred codfish in a flying machine of his own invention. This member is Butlor Ames, of Lowell, Mass. Mr. Ames has completed a flying machine with which he has made frequent and satisfactory tests in Boston.

BATTLE WITH THE STRIKING GIRLS (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Jan. 26 In a battle between striking shirtwaist makers and non-union operators, that raged for half an hour today at Broadway and Flushing Avenue, Williamsburg, two non-union girls and a special deputy sheriff were severely beaten and four of the strikers were arrest ed, one of them charged with having struck the deputy sheriff with a blackjack. The police reserves of two statfons had the greatest diffi culty in quelling the riot. ' Fully 2,000 persons, composed of 'strikers and sympathizers, both men and women and non-union operators and their protectors, took part in the . light and clubs and blackjacks were y J Virginia llainetl, the well known nctresH, who Is the wife of the Shakespearian nctor E.

The meetings have been of great help and Inspiration to the Italeigh churches and to the large number ofdidaey. He promised with all calm clergymen and laymen present and resulted yesterday afternoon in a permanent organization with Hon. J. C. Buxton, of Winston-Salem, chair man, and Mr. Francis A. Cox, of Ral eigh, secretary. The following gen tlemen were named as a committee to arrange the' time and -select the place of the next meeting: Hon. J. C. Buxton, Gen. Carl A. Woodruff, Mr. W. H. Williamson and Mr. Tlios H. Battle. The presence of Mr. Kugene 1. Camp, of New York, representing the Church Laymen's Vnion, has added much Interest to the meetings and his addresses have been one of the most delightful and helpful fea tures. Last night he spoke on "Christ, the Great Economist." There is but one way, said Mr. Camp, to get into this movement, and that is to give time and money. The Layman's banner should have inscribed on it: "Go, carry, give. Mr. Camp was followed by the rec- tor, Rev. Milton , A.

The average sentiment of this body is one of astonishment at the flurry which Wall street created on such short or der yesterday. It is also kind of as tonishment thai doesn't look as if it intended to be seriously! impressed with the necessity or the reality of this Wall street scare. One of the soundest of these na tional men said to me: "It looks just exactly like a man ufactured scare produced at the psy chological moment to scare the- ad ministration into relinquishing its purpose to keep its promise aud to establish a law-abiding habit in the trusts.

Thous. ands of cellars in every part of the -city are flooded. The Seine on the outskirts is no long er a winding stream, curving In and out between suburbs. It has become a vast lake, in which there is no sign of land for miles save a hill here and there.
