City Life In Paris.
Paris , Sept. C. Special to Th
News : When one speaks , or write ;
of the city life of Franco , most peopl
think only of Paris , while there ai
many other cities in France , all a
tlve with social and Industrial llf
jet it Is only too true that Paris coi
trols the future destiny of Franco
with bur millions of highly Intelligent
people. Doth the railway and military
systems of France are so managed
that all the people and every Industry
outside of Paris nitmt pay her tribute.
Every military maneuver Is from the
outer posts toward Paris , and prac
tically all her military strength Is cen
tered there1. Every division of both
state and corporate railroads run dl-
tectly from some distant part to
Paris. There Is not a cross-country
division of road In France worthy of
being called a railroad. Farmers and
merchants of distant towns are fre
quently required to ship products and
goods as far as100 miles by way of
Paris In order to get thorn forty miles
from the starting point. And , worse
than at ) this , the entire social fabric
of the French people has been tainted
with the poisoned social system of
Paris.
The people of Paris have boon an
Interesting ntudy for many centuries.
So IntiM-oRtlng , In fact , that It IH well
to know something of the character
of him for whom she was named.
Paris , so legendary history teaches
us , was the son of Priam , king of an
cient Troy. It had been foretold be-
fine his bltth that he would cause the
ruin of his country. Ills father , there
fore oiik'roil that he should be put to
death as soon as ho was born , but the
slave whoso duty It was to carry out
this order carried the Infant to Mount
Ida , where some shepherds adopted
and cared for him. When ho reached
nanhood ho married the nymph Or
tone. Later In lifo , at a nuptial feast ,
! io was made umpire to decide wlui
was the most beautiful among the :
goddesses present. The prize was n
golden apple. This apple had been
thrown upon the table by Discordia
localise she was not invited to the
mil-Hugo of Thetis with Peleus , klny
jf Athens. She cast her poisonous-
breath upon the assembly and van
ished. On the golden apple was In
scribed , "To the fairest. " Instantly
Juno , Minerva and Venus quarreled foi
the prize , and the pleasure of the feasl
was at nn end. Juno tried to bribe
Paris by offering him power. Mlnemi
offered him wisdom , and Venus prom
ised him the most beautiful woman litho
the world. As Paris was only a man
of course Venus received the prl/.o
but ho was told that the most beauti
fill woman in the world was Helen
who unfortunately was already the
wife of Meiielaus , king of Sparta
Such a slight thing as a marriage bomi
was nothing to Paris , and he abducted
her , which abduction occasioned the
famous war between the Greeks am ;
Trojans , ending in the destruction ol
Troy and two-thirds of a million of hei
people , Including Paris.
It was to honor him who occasioned
nil tills betrayal , Intrigue , bribery , dis
honor and cruelty that the city oi
Paris was given its name. One hat
not to study the life of her people foi
liny considerable time to feel con
vinced , in his own mind at least , thai
beautiful Paris Is living well up to the
limit of the ambitions and aspiratioiu
of the ancient Paris for whom she was
named.
M City Beautiful.
One has a right to call her beautiful
for no city is more so. Her streets
and avenues more nearly resemble
the web of a spider than the engineer
Ing ability of man. Her gardens are
as a perfumed breath from heaven
Her architecture Is the best from an
cient Athens and Rome. Her hundred !
of monuments erected in memory o ;
her heroic past , are all evidences of f
past intelligence second to none in the
world's history. But for all tills , hei
people of today more than three mil
lions of them arc more corrupt ane
crooked than any of which we know
Not wicked In the way of committing
brutal crimes , but more In the sense
we are apt to call naughty. To the
average man of Paris , homo Is but f
place for cattle ; all the sacred memo
rles attached to the one word "moth
er" are to him but a tradition of the
distant past ; slstor , is but the result o
an accident ; wife an article of con
venlenco or commerce. To the un
trained eye ho may appear courteous
and gallant , but his seeming interest
Is the most fraudulent sham cvei
worked upon a public for the rea
thing. If he stoops to pick up ane
restore a lost article to a lady , It Is
only for an excuse for other liberties
If ho steps aside to let a lady pass
upon the streets , It Is only for the
purpose of obtaining a better view
from the rear. Absinthe , cigarettes
and licentiousness control his everj
act , his every thought , and his llcen
tiousncss has not only destroyed tlu
life and virility of his city , but are fas
poisoning the best life of the natloi
as well.
I spent yesterday In the art halls o
the city , more particularly to see tin
two art productions of the city for thli
year , concerning which the Paris pee
pie have gone wild. The one Is en
titled "Tho Flirtation. " The othe
bears no name , but for descrlptlvi
purposes I will name it "The Temp
tor. " The former Is what Its title 1m
plies , nothing more. The latter reprc
sonts a young girl's first temptation
These are the things uppermost In tin
minds of Paris folk the things fo
which they live.
Sentiment controls Paris.
1 have already taken up too inucl
space with sentiment , but It is sentl
ment that controls the city life o
France. I will now mention a few o
the material things of Paris , which 1
now the third city in the world as re
gards population. It is the most cos
mopolitan city known , every clvillzei
country having quite a representatloi
here. Next to French English Is spoi
en more than any other language , am
I believe more than all others core
btned. An Intelligent American need
no guide here , for ho will find peopl
who speak English wherever he goei
The heavy or large business , such a
represents the financial and Industrie
life of the city , are quite largely 1
the hands of English speaking people
English Is spoken In every hotel ami
cafe of Importance In the city , and ne
city can show more good hotels am
cafes than Paris. The rates are reasonable
sonablo much lower than In Chicago
New York or Boston , when qunllty Is
considered. As strange as It ma ]
HOOIII to Nebraska people , one can live
and keep a family In the French quar
torn of the city cheaper than in Nor
folk. Hero In a city of 3,000,000 pco
pie , a modern six to eight-room house
upon a car line , can be rented for $8 te
$10 per month. A prime three-year-oh
steer sells for $1(50 ( , yet beet In tlu
shops from this same steer can b <
had for less money than In America
where such n steer will sell for onlj
$90. Wheat Is worth about $1.22 pei
bushel , yet the best bread ever bakee
can be had for 75 percent of the Nor
folk price. The same is true of even
thing one eats. Clothing sells fo
about 75 percent of the Norfolk cost
except ladles' suits at Worth's or fan
cy bonnets. These como high on tin
principle of our railroads charging "al
the tralllc will bear. "
Greatest Papers on Earth.
Paris Is first of all the world's citlei
In dally papers. The "Le Petit Pnrl
sion" has u dally circulation of nearl ;
1.200,000. It publishes two dlstinc
editions , one for the city with a circu
lation of 500,000 , the other for tin
country with a circulation of 700,000
The latter Is the more consorvatlvi
edition. The "Le Matin" also exceed
a million circulation. All the city pn
pers of Franco are enterprising am
quick to gather the news. Last Sun
day a fast express train was derallei
at Bcrnay' , the train carrying 700 pas
songers. 1 was on a train thirty mli :
utes behind it , being transferred , am
i caching Paris fifty minutes after in
accident , yet every paper In Paris wa
selling copies upon the streets whei
1 arrived there , containing account
of the "catastrophe. " The New Yorl
Herald publishes an European edltlo ;
hero at Paris. It Is n. very good od
itlon , and from the nppcaraneu of th
paper 1 should judge it had a fair cii
dilation. While the papers of Par !
are enterprising , yet they all sho\ \
the weakness of the city's life In the !
sensational tone and makeup.
There are ntty other cities 1
France , with a combined population c
7,000,000. The life In one Is quit
I largely the life of all. The most nol
I a'de exceptions are Calais , Havre
I Cherbourg and Marseilles , all of whlc
arc ports of entry , and therefore mor
' cosmopolitan than the cities of th
Interior. Every city of Franco Is a :
industrial city , manufacturing c
every kind being found here. Labo
favors Industrial activity , being les
than half of what It Is In the Unite
States. Day labor runs from CO to 9
! cents in the cities , mechanics drawin
I from 'JO ' cents to $1.50 per day A
I piece work , some of the operators I
the factories draw up to $2.50 po
day , but generally not above $1.5 (
Farm labor can bo had at $8 to $1
per month , and -40 to 50 cents per da
with food during harvest and haylnj
Good domestics are paid $4.00 pe
month , a few tips from visitors bein
sometimes added.
i anon as a whole the city lifo o
France is a happy one , for the me
ment iit least , and there is soiuethin
about their light and superficial wa
of thinking and living that Is coi
taglous In the extreme. The number
are kept up because of no naturf
cahses , but instead by the people c
the country constantly drifting citj
ward here as in our own country.
Education In the cities here is no
of the best. This Is particularly tru
of Industrial education , the coiintr
districts only at the present tlm
seeming to appreciate the need c
this. G. L. Carlson.
Interest In Ely Flight.
More than ordinary Interest will b
felt among Norfolk people In the pre
posed Chicago-New York airship fligli
which will be attempted Sunday b
Eugene Ely , nephew of Mrs. E. E. Gl
letto of this city.
Eugene B. Ely , although the younj
est of the Curtlss aviators , Is one c
the most daring and successful. HI
work in his Curtlss biplane througl
out the larger cities of the Unite
States has been the talk of the nvlr
tion world , so daring are his feats.
At the recent Curtlss aviation mec
held at Sheepshead Bay , New Yorl
In which there were six machine
driven by prominent aviators heade
by none other than Curtlss himsel
Ely won the plaudits of the pres
and public alike by establishing th
height and endurance record for th
entire meet , which lasted two weeks ,
Ely enjoys two distinctions .poi
sessed by no other aviator In Ame
ica , or probably In the world.
First , ho learned to fly successful !
without a teacher or without bavin
seen any more than one ( light.
The second Is that ho was the firs
to demonstrate a self propelled heir
lor than air Hying machine to th
kite Hying Japanese people.
Being an expert mechanic and aut
racing car driver , ho possessed all e
the natural prerequisites of the nvli
tor , and , seeing the great future <
the Hying game , ho determined t
first get possession of n machine an
then learn to fly. Building glldoi
after his own Ideas , ho first ascendc
Into the air by being drawn up c
his klte-llko device.
After a good preliminary tralnln
of this character ho determined I
get an aeroplane. Ho soon learne
that a wealthy Gorman automobl
dealer of Seattle , Wash. , had pu
chased a Curtlss machine for spor
Ing purpose. Ely made him a prop
sltlon to fly it for him , ot which tl
owner agreed.
THREE RULES FOR GOLF.
Important Practical Suggestions
Amateurs.
I Walter Camp In the Century ,
i prominent golfer said that there a :
three rule's which , If followed , will
make any man a fairly average play
er , and , If the man be young and
naturally endowed , will make him a
scratch man. These rules ho enun
ciated as follows : Keep your eye on
the ball ; don't press , and the rather
slangy , but extremely expressive. "Ho
stuck on yourself. " It Is hardly nec
essary to expand upon the first rule.
No follower of any Important cham
pionship has but scon a topped or
stubbed shot of the simplest kind
caused by the too early llfhtlng of his
head , cost some man his chances of
coming through.
The second rule Is generally conced
ed , but It Is not fully leckoned with
by our amateur. 1 once followed the
team match between English and
Scotch professionals at Hoylake. In
following I was particularly Impressed
with the fact that while these men
drove clean , straight balls , they sel
dom made the phenomenal drives I
had seen Blackwoll , Scott or some of
the other amateurs achieve ; and yet
upon several occasions , the profes
sionals would make tremendous car
ries on necessary brassyshots. 1 talk
ed It over with two or thiee who seem
ed In the mood to be confidential , and
I It-allied that this was their princi
ple :
"When you go up to tee , start the
hole right. You'll always Hud trouble
enough without inviting it. Put the
ball down In the middle of a couple of
hundred yards ; then you know what
kind of ahot you have. If you get 250
yards you're nearer the hole than us
ual and you don't know so much about
the shot. Besides , If you press your
ball It may run Just a bit into the long ,
and the twenty or thirty yards greater -
or distance is too expensive. But
when you have started right , it's all
clear sailing. As to the long second
or third shots , you can take a bigger
chance. The trap or bunker Is only
five or six yards.- Now If you're 200
jards off , and It's going to save a
stroke to carry It , it may be worth
while. If you get the ball just right ,
you'll clear It , and If you don't got it
clean the chances arc that you'll not
get far enough to be In It , and you
will be no worse off than If you play
ed short , anyway. "
The third rule simply means that
spirit of confidence which every golf
er recognizes , particularly on the put
ting green. There arc days when ho
feels no treped'tion about the short
putts , and the hole looks large to him
from the days when he can run anything -
' thing down. Then comes a day when
that round , inanimate lump of rubber
teems endowed with a devilish spirit
of its own. It will kick out of the tin
If ho putts strong , will hang on the
lip if he puts less force on his stroke ,
will take a deliberate hurdle of its
own straight over the cup without so
much as touching , and run with unexplained -
explained force several feet across.
Soon the player begins to miss the lit
tle two-foot ones , and he realizes that
he has lost all confidence. I saw Mr.
Chandler Egan on his first appearance
in the" Intercollegiate , experience this
green shyness to an almost unbelieva
ble degree. Such a condition may ex
tend to other shots , but It is upon
the putting green particularly that the
injunction to "He stuck em yourself"
applies.
A Fight Challenrje.

It took Lewis and Clark just one year and
six months to go from the Missouri River to
the Pacific Ocean.
Not quite fifty years ago the Union Pacific
Railroad was launched and began its trium
phant march of progress across the continent.
Today the Union Pacific makes possible
this eighteen months' ' journey of courage and
hardship in just three days , attended with every
comfort and safety known to modern travel.
The Union Pacific has been the primal factor
in laying the foundation of progress and
prosperity in the States through which its
tracks are laid.
The railroad has been , and is today , the
basic business of our day and generation , on
which all other enterprises and interests must
rest and through which they are given move
ment , activity , energy and life.
In the matter of industrial development
the interests of the public and the Union

stein , yesterday afternoon , after he
found that workmen bad already be
gun building the curbing In front of
his place of business. Mr. Parish con
tends that If the curbing Is built high
er than the top of his Walk , water will
accumulate there after a rain. Mr.
Craig says the city engineer is estab
lishing a grade on Norfolk avenue and
that the curbing must bo constructed
according to the engineer's grade to
enable all the water to run from the
street.
Mr. Parish says that he has built
two walks In front of his place at the
directions of former city engineers ,
and should the curbing go in as dl-
iccted by the present engineer there
will bo no more room for another walk
and his building will have to bo raised.
Mr. Craig says he will not stop the
work of the paving on account of this
trouble. He will not , however , do any
work In front of the Parish property.
The case will come up before Judge
Welch October 12.
W. P. Dixon , who has charge of the
grader which Is plowing away many
yards of dirt from Norfolk avenue to
got the street to the grade level , has
finished the two blocks from First to
Second streets In three days , and Is
now hard at work on Norfolk avenue
from Third to Fifth streets. Some of
the mechanical parts of the elevator of
the grader broke this morning and
caused a delay of about five hours.
Those in charge of the grader have
received orders to "lift up" when they
come to the "injunction" district , which
the Parish property has become known
by the contractors' employes , on ac
count of the restraining order served
on them Friday evening. The "lift
up" means that no dirt is taken from
the Parish front and no work of pav
ing is done there until the case is set
tled.
