Every other person one met wore the stars and stripes. In fact they pre- dominated to such an extent one was al- most Inclined to wonder If the states had emptled their entire popu in the French capital, though I p Broad- way, State street and, yes, Farnam street looked quite s busy full of people as usual, In the afternoon and evening there were numerous receptions, both public and pri- vate, for the American contingent. Of | course the exposition was the popular re- sort, though there was no fllumination that night. However, one could re wolt that loss after having feasted one’s eyes all day with the mammoth American flag which moved proudly in th French breezes from the heights of Kiffel tower. But the 4th was a great day Greater, far greater, was the 1lith, the anniversary of the taking of the Bastile and the greatest fete of all French fetes Preparations for this occaslon began sev- eral days before. Buildings and bridges were deccrated and on the outer edges of the pavements booths were erected where various things were sold, such as candy. drinks, canes, posters, jewelry, ote. Then there were all sorts of gambling games going on fon sume even and oncile one's to Festival Characteristic, Wherover there was an available space In the streets a temporary bandstand was buflt aud on the evening of the 13th the festivities began. These bandstands, dec- 1 with the French colors, were lighted by numberless littlo glass tumblers filled with tallow. The orchestras con sisted of from thrge to six musicians and the music, If indeed 1t could be called music, was enough to torture the Amer fcan ear. But not 80 the French. It seemed to prove inspiring, for great crowds gathered in tho streets and the butchers, the bakers, the candlestick makers, onc and all joined in tripping the light fan- tastic over the hard pavement. They danced in all sorts of costumes, from even- ing dress, bicycle suits, to rolle sleeves and kitchen aprons. The waltz is something truly wonderful revolve in one spot and the s they take are so short and quick that it is impossible to tell when one is in or out of step with her partner and so far s I've been able to judge from both observation and experience it doesn't seem to make any difference. 1 spent the evening near the exposition and we wandered from one bandstand to another watching the d ers. It was all most amusing and Inter- esting. Near Avenue Rapp, which has be the headquarters of the American com- mission, we saw two aglle United States guards giving a cakewalk for the edi- fication of a crowd of interested French people. The dances lasted until about 2 a m. About 3:30 in the morning a party of us went to Les Halles Central, the great market place of Paris, and I believe the lurgest in the world. I've never seen a more interesting sight. For four blocks before one reached Les Halles the streets wore simply covered from one side to the other with everything from meats and vegetables to fruits and flowers. We would see, for iustance, almost a block with a solld wall of carrots or cabbage or perhaps beautiful roses. Everything was In great coufusion in the streets, though the arrangement of the vegetables, ete., was in most delightful order. Not the least interesting were the people. Hun- dreds of men and women there working, for everything has to be in its place by 6 o'clock. Some of the costumes of these peasants were great studies and the bas- kets which they carry on their backs filled with vegetables are most curious affairs Dancing Everywh On Saturday, the 1ith, we rode all over | the city. The dancing on the street con- whole day. ANl the world was out In holiday smiles. The pave- | ments in frout of the cafes were crowded | with tables. At all of the places there were | sideshows of every sort and always o 0* more merry-go-rounds, which were ex- | tremely Interesting. Instead of the usual | horses we have in the states, there were usually immense white wooden plgs and rabbits. Along the streets were numerous | very original games for children. | Speakini of children reminds me of a group of small boys I saw and how I did long for a bunch of American firecrackers to give them. They had a small package of powdered sulphur, a little of which one | small boy placed on a stone and then with | the perspiration streaming down his face from the violent exercise, he took another large stone and rolled over'it just to hear the report that followed. When this report was heard all of the other youngsters would shout with joy and delight. Saturday evening was the groat night About 9 o'clock the city was flluminated from one end to the other. 1 think the most beautiful street was Boulevard Saint | Michael, The flluminations elsewhere were far more elaborate, but mot as effective. | This boulevard, known more generally as | Boulevard “Mich,” s the most popular | street in the Quartier Latin. It is winding | | and liglsdy on the fnoline and is lined by beautiful trees, in which were hundreds of red lanterns. The fountain at Place St Michael was prettily flluminated, as were all the ridges crossing the Seine The | Avenue de I'Opers wils very pretty, but the | Boulevard des Capucioes was far more | brilliant. There the crowd was very great All means of transportation stopped except | cabs, and even these, were frequently blockaded, as the pedestrians used the street as well as the pavement. When we reached the Rue de Royal, where the illu- minations were most elaborate, the crowd was 80 great it was almost impossible to move along, and the nearer the approach to the Place de la Concord the more dif- cult the progre for here they had very fine fireworks. We left just before the conclusion, fearful of the stampede that followed When we agaln reached the Place de I'Opera we saw a large crowd or people. We finally worked one way into the ring and there, sitting on the ground In a circle, were a aumber of art students many of whom we recognized as frequenters of the Luxembourg gardens. One seemed to act as master of ceremony and would call upon some other, who would arise and step to the center of the circle and recite or sing. It was all very droll. We could not resist stopping upon almost every cor- ner to watch the street dances. When we reached the Quartier Latin we saw some of the students dancing with girls on thetr shoulders. But to me It was wonderful, They ere. [ 1f you tell them it Is too dear they will sell consldering the license given to the eity n general, the order that predominated The dances continued until 4 a. m., not enly the night of the 14th, but the two following | nights as well, and even yet many of the merry-go-rounds and sideshows are still in evidence. The people seem loth to give up the celebration, which was certainly & most intercsting occasion to the American | as well At present water fs very scarce in Parls and we are very much restricted in the use of It and 1t is turned off entirely at i1 o'clock at night and public notices are put up In every house in Paris stating that as little as possible must be used Nebraskans in K Wherever one goes they constantly meet or hear of Omaha or Nebraska people. 1 Boted the name of Mrs, Courtney registered at Cook’'s not long ago and the names of Miss Grace Knight and Miss Reasoner, who are both living in Paris at the present time, are frequently montioned.

I've found when the sellers ask you 8 cents beds young | you a ticket at 6 or 7 cents. AYDAH KATHY E WAR TR P R A 1 South Omaha News. %\'«E‘W\l}"-" q B e e An Interesting sion of the school board is booked for tonight. At the last meeting the approval of the bond of Frank Koutsky as treasurer of the school dis- trict awakened a storm which has not yet been perfectly settled. Injunctions agalnst the payment of warrants for the building of the Jungmann school bullding d @ reciprocating injunction by the con tors asking that other warrants for practically the same work be not paid have grown out of that session There is a current rumor that the Hoc- tor injunction fight has been sottled and that at tonight's meeting all the drastic measures that have been resorted to by both factions of the board will be evenly smcothed over and not a scar will remuin of tho controversy that has thus 80 suddenly broken out botween the mem- bers. The notice that was s treasurer to refraln from paying certain warrants has, during the {liness of Treas urer Koutsky, been heeded by Deputy Gus- tafson, who says that the warrants, against the payment of which such a pro- test has been entered, will not be pald until Mr. Koutsky is ready to again as- sume his offcial duties Thero are a number of feachers to be yet employed by the hoard and these va- cancies will probably be filled tonight Superintendent Wolf at the last meot- ing said there were several positions that had not been filled out and from the list of teachers employed at tonight's meet- ing th will probably be chosen by the superiatendent The council tra ved on the school is also to meet tonight. » particular business is mapped out for it to do. The appointement of a city attorney has long been hanging fire, but it seems universally conceded that nothing along this line will bo done at this meet ing. This is probably due to the fact that Mr. Montgomery, the present attor- ney, 15 out of the city and nothing will be done while he 1s absent for obvious reasons. Tt is sald that as soon as he re- turns he will tender the council his resig- nation and ask that It be immediately ac- sted. Mr. Lambert is his probable suc- cessor. There are a number of minor mattees that will be taken up and attended to. Meeting Was a Fallure. The meeting of the Bryan-Stevenson Democratic club, which was so extensively advertised for Friday night and which, in Saturday's Issue of an uptown sheet, was reported as a large turnout with lots of enthusiasm’ was in truth a flat fail u Accommodations had been provided for a packed house. However, when the president of the club appeared with the speakers they were chagrined to find five or six people in the ho The meeting was then adjourned for half an hour, dur- ng which time democrats were summoned from their homes. After a great deal of work about thirty-five men, women and children were secured to listen to the ex- s and Edgar Howard commenced to There was & sprinkling of handelap- ping when he smilingly arose, but as he procecded his periods were wholly un- marked with applause; In fact, during hls whole talk there was not a ripple of ap- plause, and when he sat down several looked at thelr nelghbors in bewilder- ment, as if asking when the advertised political speech was to be made. That was all there was to the meoting except a few impromptu talks, which wero met with the same reception as was Howard's talk.

Thd voteran of war of the rebellion im particular this fall will be called upon A8 Bover before perhaps to reflect before casting his vote. | the fundamental principles of the republican party are freedom and liberty, the cost of which in this country was much bloodshed and many human 1fves. The cost to maintain lib- erty is eternal vigllance. The republican party in its platform declared that all ate tempts at undermining the foundation of government “gught to be condemned.” W let me ask all falr minded men who think, What can disrupt & governmens quicker and more completely than to dis- franchise m than one half of its ocitls 2ens to keep the other half, a part of whom are ro more competent than those who are disfranchised In power? Mr. Nryan in his speech at Indianapolis August It was God Himself who placed fn every human heart the love of liberty." The author of the w. 3 Bryan, 18 the standard boarer of the demo- cratie party, the free silver party and the people’s party for president. Just one voted this week to rob the 40,000 or 10,000 colored citizens of thelr liberty to vote, it Mr. Bryan's party has the right distranchise colored citizens in on they have the same right in ry state and a vote for the party means sanction the Tillman idea and an in- dorsement of the shotgun policy which Mr. Bryan pretends to hate. One thing may be of “impertalism.” While it will appear harmful to all people in the coyn- try it bas more terror for democrats tHan anyone 1 am sure that under an imperial government there would be less people disfranchised than under the pres- ent “shotgun” poliey. Every old soldles who will next fall cast & ballot for Bryan ind his party will simply vote to go square back on the principles for which he fought 50 nobly from 1861 to 1865. “Liberty,” a free ballot and a free count in the south would ath to Mr. Bryan's party. The other class most interested in this fall campaign is the colored voters, The democrats and populists have silver-coated this democratic pill so that white voters may it without as much violenca to themselves as to Afro-Americans instance, {gnorant whites of the south w not disfranchised white may say I do myselt and people no lence when 1 vote with the democratio PArty, but the negro voter caunot say this. To vote with that party means to him t full fndorsement of his own disfranchise- ment; the full Indorsement of the separate car law, separate ticket office law, the sparate chain-gang law, the working of wonen of color in the chain gang and even other cruel luws now on the statute books of the south. It will mean to them the tndorsement of such open encmies as Sen ator Morgan of Alabama and Mr. Tillman of South Carolina and others. Now let all liberty loving people, all who belleve in the rights of the people, all who believe in and want continued prosperity go to the polls this fall and vote for the republican nominees for president and vice pr Again, Mr. Bryan, in his speech the other day, quoted Mr. Franklin in these words: “Justice Is as strictly due between nelgh- bor nations as b 1 neighbor citizens.” Also ho says f has never yet created a right. Why then will he indorse the party in forcing the right of suffrage out of the hands of the colored men in the south for no other purpose than to per- petuate his party in office? The command to go ve Into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature has no gatling gun attached.” W. J. B No, {t has no gatling gun seo it, but it has onme mc and one before which the democratic party has never been known to stand, namely, the golden rule: “Also whatsoever ye would that should do to you, do yo even 8o to them."
