The first flats put up in New York
we're four stories high. After a while
the height was increased to six stories.
Then Us elevators c. ne into use, one or
two more stories were add
ed. When elxht-story buildings
were put up it was thought that tie
limit as to height had been reached,
hut The upward tendency kept on. The
buildings of eight stories were followed
by ones of nine stories, and those in
turn by ten-story buildings, which
'ooked simply titanic. But the advance
skyward did not stop there. Ecven-

projected which shall be twelve and

The Georgia Supreme Court has lust

BILE for any injury they may sustain re-
sulting from either their own careless
ness or any other cause. To make the
contract more binding, the mans wife,
when he has one, is required to sign an
agreement that she will not sue for dam.
ages in case of accident to her husband.
The widow OF brakeman who was
killed. nevertheless brought suit and
was awarded $1,000 by jury. The case
was carried to the Supreme Court, which
has sustained this decision, taking the
obviously just grould that. while an en-
p'oyee might waive his right to sue for
injuries not arising from criminal neeli-
gence, the waiver IN cases where there
was such negligence would be contrary
to public policy and void.

Mr.. Price commissioner of Indian ar.
airs, in h,s:report to the secretary of the
interior calls attention to the drinking
habits OF the army, and the sale ofliquors
on the Indian reservations. Ey way of
illustration he points out that at one of
the military posts, Fort Gates, where less
than two'huntlred troops constitute the
garrison, no less than $4,000 pin,s of
lager beer were consumed in three
weeks, which is about seventeen pints a
day for each man. The lager sold at the
military posts is manufactured expressly
for the purpose and contains, the COM
missioner says, from 25 to 40 per cent. of
proof spirits, instead OF the 5 to l2 per
cent. contained in the binary beer.
The War department permits post.trad.
ers to sell malt liquors, the beer, rs al
ready shown, consisting of about 50 per
cent. of alcohol. The sale of iris stuff
opens the way for the sale of LIQUORS TO
the Indians, and the result is that

Eastern people are in the habit Of
calling the attention of persons in.
clined to "go west" to the cyclones and
tornadoes that occasionally visit some OF
the western States. But it appears that
New England is not exempt from such
disasters. The late hurricane in New
Hampshire is an instance in point; Hon
l. E. Clay. the largest owner of timber
land in New England, telegraphs a.
follows: Explorers just in report that
the havoc and destruction by the late
hurricane is far worse than We had rea,
son to expect. The loss in Chatham alone
will reach $4,000. 1t will take a cen.
fury to fully restore our forests. The
loss falls very seriously on owners Of
woodland, while the lumber business
Will be crippled for years." There was
no loss Of life owing to the circumstance
that the country swept by the hurricane
was wooded. Had it struck a village o,
open country the results would doubt
less, have been very disastrous to hu.
man life.
