ors of Europe Coming.
World’s Fair Bureau, SI. Louis,
Walter Williams, of Go-
Mo., who represented the
LoU'siana Purchase Exposition dur
ing his recent tour through Europe
antV portions of Asia and Africa,, has
retyped. When asked for a state
ment regarding his trip, and partic
ularly the congress of the Interna
tional Press Association, recently
held in Beme, Switzerland, Mr. Wil
liams dictated the following:
“I have been away nine months,
traveled some 30,000 miles and vis
ited 25 countries. The last impor-
‘ tanjt event was the attendance of
the International Press Congress at
Bepe, Switzerland. This congress
is composed of about 300 delegates
and representatives of the leading
metropolitan journals of the conti
nent of. Europe. Such newspapers
aB the Figaro, the Laterne of Paris,
the Local Anzeiger of Berlin, the
Iraparcial of Madrid and the Trib
une of Rome, and other papers of
likq importance, were represented at
this meeting by their chief editors.
Some 17 countries were included in
the membership of the congress, em
bracing all the capitals and points
of commercial interest in Europe. I
presented, as representing the press
clubs of the Exposition, an invita
tion to the Congress to hold its next
annual session, September, 1903, in
St. Louis. There were six or seven
invitations from as many different
- countries, including one from Ger
many, authorized by the Emperor,
to meet next year in Berlin. These
invitations, one by one, were with
drawn, and finally the Berlin invita
tion, by a vote of tjhe German dele
gation, was withdrawn with the un
derstanding that it would be pre
seated for 1904. The German del
egation thereupon, without exoep
tion, supported St. Louis. Speeches
in ddvooacy of the St. Louis invita
tion were made by representatives
from Germany, Italy, France, Hun
gary, Spain, Austria, Sweden and
Switzerland. There was an exciting
disoussion, The Congress had never
been outside of Europe and had de
clined invitations to go even as far
as Glawgow, Scotland, during the
exppsition, and to London. The
question being put to a vote, how
ever, said invitation was aoocepted
by pvacMoally the unanimous decis
ion of the delegates. It is expected
that, from assurances made at Berne,
fully 800 delegates from the Euro
pean countries will aotend the Con
gress in St. Louis.
"Previous congresses have been
held in Paris, Stockholm, Buda
Pesfch, Lisbon, Vienna and other
European capi tals. The don gross is
hot only important in itself, but in
cludes in its membership all the
press organizations of continental
Europe. Great Britain alone is
somewhat scantily represented, but
steps ftre already being taken to se
cure the co-operation of the British
Institute of Jdurnalists, numbering
over 800,000 members in the United
Kingdom. Mr. Howard S. Cornish,
Secretary of the Institute, is very
muoh in sympathy with the plan of
the World’s Press Congress in St.
Louis. The same is true of Sir
Hugh Gilzean Reid, the founder of
the Institute, and one of the most
important faetors in British journal
ism. Sir Hugh said that the Louis- 1
iana Purchase Exposition has given
to the journalists of the world a
great idea and they will grandly re
spond. Dr, Charles Russell, editor
.of the Glasgow Herald, one of the
great Scotch newspapers, cordially
endorses Sir Hugh’s statement, with
the assurance that the Herald would
assist as muoh as possible an exposi
tion that was so attentive to the
the regular representatives there,
and inquiries have been invoked in
most unexpected force. Even in
lands so far away as Palestine and
Upper Egypt, I found prospective
exhibitors or visitors. In a little
shop in Bethlehem, for example, in
to which I casually went, I was ac
costed by the proprietor for infor
mation regarding the Exposition. It
appeared that he wished to make an
exhibit 6f some kind.
press.
"I have visited nearly 1,000 news
paper offices, issuing journals in
many languages, and have met with
most cordial courtesy and the most
gratifying interest in exposition-af
fairs, with but a single exception,
and that wa3 doubtless due to a
misunderstanding of the language
in Turkish form. The Old- World
newspaper people have great admi
ration for American journalistic
methods and have been, pleased to
give expressions in their columns fa
vorably commenting on the World’s
Fair work. This is true not only in
the larger capitals, but in the small
er cities and manufacturing centers.
In fact, so far as I can recall, not a
single newspaper of the 1,000 which
I visited has failed to make comment
of some extent on the Exposition.

Against the Beef Combine.
Denver, Col.—-John W. Springer,
president of the National Live Stock
Association of the United States, in
answer to a question concerning the
formation of a beef combine, said:
"Our organization is watching ev
ery move of the big packers, fully
realizing the ruin which would en
sue if the Contemplated combine is
effected. The paokers have individ
ually denied any intention of com
bining into a merger of packing in
terests. If they are attempting to
deceive the Btookmen and the public
they will incur the opposition of ev
ery live stock producer in the union.
Such a combine would be more dis
astrous than any other that could be
formed. For then one man would
arbitrarily fix the price to the con
sumer of meats. It frould be against
public polioy and would result in the
greatest commercial warfare ever
waged on this continent, and in the
end the packers’ combine would go
to, the wall. If the packers are wise,
as I give them credit for, they will
let well enough alone; if they de
ceive us as to their intentions, then
I give notice now that it will be a
fight of every producer of live stock,
aided by the consumers of this
country, against the most uncalled
for combine or ‘trust’ ever organ
ized. Let the packing interests be-
ware—they may as well understand
—the limit has been reached jn their
grasping strenuosity.”
A gawky country boy came to
town recently, and after wandering
up and down the streets for an b| f.
or so, stopped in front of an em.' \
building to gaze at a window hat n
er advertisement of some thea’i” ,d
company. In a little while he * IS'
joined by one of the town loafers,
and before long another, then two
or three more. The fanner’s boy
said not a word, but continued to
look. After half an hckir passed one
of the more curious loafers could
stand it no longer, and he asked the
farmer boy what he was looking at.
"I was just trying to see how long
a fellow could ’tend to his own bus
iness in this town without some
darn fool wanting to know what he
was doing,” was the reply.—Ex.

A new process for the manufac
ture of artificial marble has been
patented in Berlin. Asbestos, dye
ing materials, shellac and ashes are
pounded into a stiff mash and then
subjected to high pressure. The
product is surprisingly firm and
though, not brittle, is easily worked
by means of tools, can be given a
fine polish, and in appearance can
not be distinguished from genuine
marble.
The $30,000 in bills which figured
m the bribery oases attending the
election of Senator Clark by the
Montana legislature still remains a
part of the archives of that state.
The man to whom it was given as
a bribe never claimed it; the briber
or bribers have not asked that it be
returned, and there is no channel
by which the state can appropriare
it as a part of the public funds.

There is a charming blond young
woman well known to Philadelphia
as well as Baltimore and New York,
who laughs when you call her "Sen-
ora.” A woman friend gave the sto
ry away, says the Philadelphia Press,
and as she takes it good naturedly
there is no use keeping the joke
away from the public. You see,
young as she is, she elected to mar
ry a man who was a grandfather, or,
rather, he became one soon after his
marriage to her. She has that de
ceptive, innocent type of beauty that
gives the owner the appearance of
being about 18. She was looking
at the Cuban curios and souvenirs
for sale at a bazar, with a woman
friend, and the old woman behind
the wares called her "Senorita.
"No, no,” said the friend, "she is
Senora.” The old woman shook her
head and declined to believe. "No,
Senorita,” she said. "She is a girl,
she continued in broken English,
“she too young and pretty.” "Yes,
she is a Senora,” said Mrs. G —
wishing to tease the younger wo
man, and, remembering the birth of
the grandchild, she added:, "She’s
not only married, but she’s a grand
mother!” "Dios! But these Amer
icans are so progressive!” said the
old woman.

That the financial center of the
world has moved from London to
New York is shown in a compara
tive statement of the clearings of
the banks of the two cities, publish
ed a few days ago. The statement
included transactions for the three
months of January, February and
March, 1902. The daily average
clearings of the New .York banks for
these three months were 45 per cent
greater than those of London. The
New York daily average was $230,-
978,756, against $159,788,893 for
London. During the three months
New York’s clearings were $17,785,-
364,182, against $12,303,744,804 for
London. New York’s clearings be-
gau to mount up in 1897, since
which date they have steadily in
censed until for the first three
i u hs of the current year they
hi its 166 per cent in advance of the
'•Ifc^nngs for the corresponding
months of 1897. During the same
period of time the London clearings
increased 39 per cent.
