PARIS GOSSIP CONCERNING armies are received as students but the doors are closed tightly to Ger r INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITIES mans. , A horse museum has recently been onened at that place which is said to;

BY LA VOYAOEUSE. . , Paris, I Sept. 2 Will Mies Kather,lne Elklaa and the Duke of the Abruasia please marry or else giro the world some outward and visible alga

or other intlmatloa of their intention , not to wed and thereby and what has become a very trying and tiresome altuatloa to the people of both eastern and western hemispheres, for doubtJess the inhabitants of the United

States are as heartily sick of the almost dally assertions and denials of ,what these two individuals intend or do not intend doing as are the people of Europe. Miss Elklns is a most estimable, attractive and charming young woman, .while 'the Duke of the Abruxsls is an excellent, clever and clean living . young man, but the almost continuous positive announcements, immediately ' followed by direct contradictions as to their matrimonial intentions, their whereaboata and dally movements, all .given with minute details and on what is alleged to be "excellent authority," have grown to such an extent as to have become an international nuisance. It is known that the Duke has seen Miss Elklns a number of times this summer at various places in Austria and France, where she is visiting with her mother, but the statement that these young people have seen each other la persistently denied by them. Now if Abrutzi does not Intend to marry Miss Elklns and she has made up her mind to marry the son of former , Congressman Hltt of Illinois, or anyone else and not the Italian member of the royal house, then, why . a a a- . l II

it to become known, once for all, is what her friends and those of the duke, in Paris (where they have very many) are asking. . If she does accept him there can be no doubt of one thing, and that is that her atock of moral and physical courage la suflcient to warrant her leadlag a forlorn hope like the charge of the Light Brigade, for instance, or the charge of Plckett'a division at Gettysburg or to inter ainglehanded a den of aavage, hungry lions, or Indeed, any old thing; for it la well known that, with the exception of that of Austria there la no court circle in Europe mora dlQcult to gain entrance to than that of Italy. Italian women of rank and family are extremely exclusive. In the matter of any blood other than Italian being brought Into the royal

Italian family, they are. particular almost to the point of fanaticism. The very thought that a member of the royal family should aeek a bride in democratic America fills their souls with horror And dismay.' American women have married Into the Italian nobility and found out to their' sorrow what an amount of humiliation and constant unhapplness they have later been aubjected to by Italian women of noble birth. It having meant .practical ostracism. Now should a girl from the democratic United States, no matter even it her father be a multimillionaire from West Virginia, dare to marry a member of the royal house, with a possibility of occupying the throne at a future time she will And every wak- . lng hour of her dally -life so set about with polite studied slights, not to say Insults and persistent rebuffs and cruel wounds to her spirit at the hand of the female members of the court that aha will writhe in mental agony and wish herself then thousand times ever back In her West Virginia home and out of it all. No, believe me. It Katy Elklns marries Abrusxl her troubles will only have commenced. Paris suffragettes are taking particular pleasure In the announcement

of the society for the protection of

animate that It la considering the

question of offering a medal to the

public eoachwomen of Paris who show the greatest kindness to and consldoration for their horses. - The suffrag

ettes point to this fact aa proof that women can meet men on the same piano In many fields of work which men have occupied exclusively until comparatively recentlyand be as successful aa men have been, for they argue. It women were not regarded as

having established their competency aa driven the society would not now

bo taking ofacial notice of their exist ence.

Truly, those who witnessed the trial

and sufferings of body and soul en

dured by the first woman public cab

driver In Parte and who how she was Jeered at and humiliated on all sides by those who should have known bet

ter and shown more consideration tor a woman who was merely trying to make an honest living, would never have believed it possible that the number of women engaged In such work would have Increased to hundreds. Only few persons, even men, to say nothing of women, would have have had the courage to withstand the threats and brutal remarks the flrst woman public cab driver was com

pelled to withstand. But courage and self confidence won in the end. Thousands of persons engage cabs driven by women rather than men, for they

realize they will escape the unpleasantness of a possible drunken driver or one who will use rough language if

their "tip" is not sufficiently Urge,

and at the same time receive quite as

good service. With the kindness of

heart which is Innate in woman, those

female drivers give their horses far better care than do men drivers,.

The crate for puzzles which struck

rich and poor alike in Paris some months ago is rapidly dying out, and

the fickle French capital Is returning to "diabolo," which had a tremen

dous vogue for a time and was then suddenly dropped. Now It may be seen being played in the public parks.

In private grounds and almost every

where, not alone by children but by

men and women. It is said that many was of a most wonderful material as

society people play it as an excuse for gambling for large stakes on the

result of the gam?.

France has never forgotten the loss

of the province of Alsace to Germany

and probably never will. It was a loss and at the same time a humiliation which ground into the nation's very

soul. "No Germans need apply" is the notice which, figuratively speaking, has since been displayed by the

French government in a : disguised

manner In many ways. At the famous

army cavalry school at Saumur, on the banks of the Loire, probably the

A complete and very interesting collection of saddles, bridles, horseshoes and similar articles is also on exhibition. ; " , ' After an unprecedented reign ; of nearly two years blue, as a color in every imaginable shade has been dethroned in the fancy of Paris fashion. In gowns, hats and all variety of women's wearing apparel pink was the color most sought after during the summer., - At the , fashionable resorts the feminine contingent resembled huge bunches of pink roses and peonies,, but now red Is making a bid for popularity. It Is generally believed that It will be "the" color during the fall season and probably for the winter also. A hint of this was shown in a charming model for evening wear I saw in a fashionable milliner's this week. It was of red liberty with glints of yellow. The skirt, thank heaven, was quite a good deal wider than those worn during the summer season. , The , chief cbicness of tbe toilette lay in the long tunic which

fell nearly to the hem of tbe skirt.; It

to weave and color, being a soft, silky

crepe chiffon of changeable tones of red and flame color in one light, but deep blood In another, with a wide band of dull gold embroidery around the bottom, and repeated at the neck and sleeves, covered with Maline .lace, dyed a bright shade of red. From the shoulder to the bottom of the tunic fell bands of wide, dull red satin ribbon slightly gathered here and there. Ribbon is to play a very important part In the winter styles. The most exquisite designs are being shown in the shops. The former stiff, embroidered velvet ribbons, so unwieldy, and only possible for use as sashes, have

been replaced by a lovely soft and at-i

tractive material, as pliable as liberty satin.

Thousands Go to Pueblo, Col, to A ttend Irrigation Meeting

(American New Service.) Pueblo, Col., Sept 26. For the sec

ond time in the history of the organ

ization, and for the first time since

it became the leading exponent in the country of national development the

State of Colorado has the honor of entertaining the -National Irrigation congress. The eighteenth annual ses

sion of , the congress began in this

city today and will continue until Friday. During that time much import

ant action is expected to be taken looking toward the reclamation of the yr.st unsettled territory of the west

that but awaits the touch of water to

yield abundant crops of greatest variety..

Not - since the beginning of the

movement looking toward government

aid in a vast scheme of irrigating the

arid regions has so much interest

been taken in the meetings of the Irrigation congress and during the four days' session irrigation and 1U kind

red subjects, forestry and coloniza

tion, will not only be discussed but practical Illustrations of what Irriga

tion is doing for the west will be

given.

Private enterprise In Irrigation work 111 come in for especial attention.

Tomorrow morning has been set aside

for the discussion of this subject Wednesday will be devoted largely to the consideration of drainage, agri

cultural and Industrial conditions.

Questions most intimately connected with water and its uses, will be taken up Thursday morning. Legislation will be discussed Thursday evening.

Friday, the concluding day. will be devoted to the election of officers and the transaction of other business, in

cluding the selection of a meeting

place for next year. For this honor several cities are entered in' a spirit

ed contest Including Milwaukee. Kan

sas City, Fort Worth. . San Francisco.

Chicago, Charleston, Rochester and St Louis.

The Initial feature of the program

was a monster industrial parade this morning ' participated in by all the counties and districts of Colorado and

several of the neighboring states. The formal opening of the congress took place this afternoon. R. H. Inslnger

of Spokane, chairman of the executive

committee, called the gathering to

order and Introduced P. J. Dugan.

chairman of the Colorado board" of control. Mr. Dugan delivered the introductory 'address, dwelling at considerable length upon the importance of the gathering and of the movement which it represents. Governor Shafroth delivered an address of welcome In behalf of the state of Colorado and Mayor Fugard extended a similar greeting tor the City of Pueblo. The response for the visitors was incorporated in the annual address of the president B. , A. Fowler of Phoenix, Arizona. Reports of the executive committee' and. of the several officers occupied the remainder of the initial session. ', Delegates to the congress continue

to pour into the city, every train arriving this morning bringing in hundreds interested in the work. Included among the visitors are the governors of several states, a number of United States senators and representatives la

congress, railroad presidents, scien

tists, agricultural experts and othersOne of the most noticeable features of the present congress is Its highly representative character. Heretofore

the attendance has been confined

largely to representatives of the westem states. The present gathering, however, includes representatives not only of all sections of the United States, but of many parts of Canada and Mexico. A number of expert agriculturists ' and irrigationists from Europe are also here In response to a special invitation of the congress.

Curved Bridges of Japan. . The curved bridge of Japan are of three kinds first, those known a spectacle bridges, with an arch in tbt center suggesting a pair of spectacles: second, the camel back bridges, which go up very high indeed; third, tbe or dinary one arch, semicircular bridges. Tbe reason the Japanese so often have curved bridges is because until mod era time they could not build theuo flat, and 'even today there is no keystone to tbe Japanese arches. Thej are not generally familiar with - tbe keystone. A great many of two classes of bridges tbe camel buck and tbe high curved bridges are found in the palace ground: nt Pekin. in China.
