UMW Sister V-'^ aiettuMlc irrsy^gawig Aug. 11. lun^bia, ■ 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invitations, one by one, were with drawn, and finally the Berlin invita tion, by a vote of tjhe German dele gation, was withdrawn with the un derstanding that it would be pre seated for 1904.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. , "The St. Louis World’s Fair is apparently growing in favor in Eu rope through the excellent work of 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. liook Peasant, Please.

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. — . — ■— Henry L.
