The arrangement of kitchen gives
direct access therefrom to cellar, and
q means of communication TO any part
of the house, without entering adioin-
ing rooms. There is no direct connec-
tion between the dining-room and the
kitchen, the passage being through the
pantry. BY this arrangement the odors
of cooking are shut off from the dining
room and other parts of the house. The
fireplaces in parlor, dining room and
kitchen are arranged in such a manner
as to bring the flues together in the
attic, thus making only one top, and
saving considerable expense. There
is ample closet-room, the pantry is
convenient to both dining-room and
kitchen, the dining-room closet is con-
structed 10 contain china, and to make
the parlor symmetrical in shape. There
Is ample storage-room in the attic.
The bathroom is convenient TO all the
other rooms, and being over the
kitchen makes the plumbing simple
and economical. The first and second
stories are plastered. Cellar under the
whole house. This plan can be modi-
fed to suit any special requirements.
In the foregoing designs the cost
does not exceed $4,000. In this de-

Barnum Taken In by Woman.

=. II. Barnum, the veteran show
man, lately appeared as complainant
in New York police court against q
female swindler, who gave the name
of Maggie Morgan.
Mr.. Barnum was accosted by the
woman on Thirty-seventh street. She
asked the way to No. 1913 West One
Hundred and Forty-sixth street and
was told it was miles Vway. Il must
walk there all the same" said she, ito
tell my sister that my husband broke
his leg and is in the hospital. You
never can walk there" said Mr.. Bar
mum, and he gave her handful of
change. The woman said: God bless
you sir, and may you never break your
leg" and walked away. Mr.. Barnum
related the circumstance at his hotel
and was laughed at by his friends.
Two weeks later he was accosted by
the same woman near the Murray Hill
Hotel Sir" said she, will you tell
me where the Coroner's office Is? Ny
husband is dead and must carry word
there" Mr.. Barnum recognized her
and caused her arrest
He told the story to the police JUS
tice, and while they were heartily
laughing over the joke the woman
broke out with, Mr.. Barnum, if You
won't make complaint against me I'll
go with your circus for nothing and
show myself as the only woman you
ever had arrested.
This produced the desired effect, and
Mr.. Barnum agreed to take the woman
at her word. She was thereupon dis
charged. -NelC York Times.

room the character that il needs,
which will be reflection of your own.
There is unlimited scope for the exer-
else of womanly tact and taste in the
arrangement and furnishing of every
room. What we need in house decora-
ton is, first of all, fitness, and then
beauty. But beauty is composed OF
many elements strength, dignity,
meaning, character, as well as grace
of form and harmony of color. Pretti-
ness is something considerably less
than beauty.

President Holmes on Paving.

President c. B. Holmes, of the tri-
city street railway system. has written
Mr.. Phil Mitchell the appended letter on
the subject of street paving, his prefer
ences being quite important at this time
as he is to pay large proportion of the
contemplated Second avenue improves
ment:
Mr. Phil Mitchell, Rock Island, III:
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of yesterday is
at hand and contents noted. The Chica-
go City Railway company has had quite
considerable amount of Ottawa brick
pavement in different parts of its lines
and in some cases it has done very well
in others, we have found that the number
of soft brick was SO many that the pave
ment as a whole was not satisfactory If
the bricks were selected, and only those
which were real hard and burned were
used, think it would be very we'll. but
if soft bricks are to be included, l would
myself prefer the wood, if good sound
cedar were used; cypress l do not know
anything about, but as above stated, if
they give you good, select brick, think
it would wear better than the cedar.
Yours truly,
G.. B. HOLMES, Pres.
p. s. We have had no trouble with
horses slipping on the brick.

RIGHT YOU ARE, MR.. I'D. g."

A Discussion as 10 the Merits Of Rock
Island Arsenal. In Which q Daven.
port Paper Ably sustains its Own
Assertions.
In yesterday mornings Muscatine
Nesos- Tribune appeared the following:
We notice that the Davenport Gazette
still speaks Of the works on the island as
| 1.-The leading arsenal Of the country, u
| when it bears in extent and importance
| about the same comparison to the great
Springfield arsenal as schooner to a
three-decker. The Springfield arsenal is
by far the finest in the world, and it will
require steady stream of liberal appro-
prlations for a good part of this second
century before the Rock Island works,
though so promising and beautiful in
situation, can vie with its eastern progen.
itor.
To which the Democrat. Gazette well
replies:
Certainly the Democrat Gazette still
speaks of Rock Island armory and arse
nal as 1.-THE leading arsenal of the coun.
try. and in doing so it keeps within the
truth. The islank on which the shops
are located contains go acres above low
water mark. Its length is nearly two and
three quarter miles. while its width varies
from to I of mile. There are 10 i'm.
,mense shops, each covering in its total
area little more than one acre. This ia
exclusive OF the vast store houses only
partly completed, the barracks, the resi-
dences of officers. and many other build
lngs. When completed the arsenal will
have accommodations for 10000 work.
men. Ii crowded to its full capacity in
time OF war, it will be sufficient to arm,
equip. and supply an army of 100000.
The capacity of the arsenal will be,
hnally, so it is estimated, two and one.
half to three times that of all the arsenals
the United States had during the war.
so when the Democrats Gazette speaks of
it as 1.-The leading arsenal of the country"
1t knows what it is talking about.
The Davenport journal might have adj
ded with equal truth and emphasis that
the steel bridge which spans the river be. |
tween the two cities here is the hand |
soonest draw bridge in the country, a fact
that ought to be extremely interesting to |
the good people of Muscatine now that
The people of Drury township, Rock ISIS |
and county, have knocked that city's
bridge scheme into cooked hat by de-
Ginning to help build it.
