shore lands, who it seems prefer to let the
lands remain barren waste instead OF erect
ing thereon, at small cost, number OF port
able bungalows, or one story cottages, which
would not only be in great demand at the
approach of the spring season, but would
bring in quite a fair income. These little
houses would be eagerly sought after by those
who prefer tho home quiet and privacy they
afford to tho discomforts of the stuffy and
cramped quarters of the majority OF our sea-
side hotels.
Houses like these can be constructed in such
smanner that il occasion demands they can be
readily moved or taken down, and from 5000

her eyes fall upon it she will think as much

There are bronze clocks supporting bronze

In the corner by the fireplace a tall vase
will make an effective spot of color. The
cloissonne jar is very beautiful specimen of
this branch Of japanese industry. This per-

rs it may be Of some little interest for us to
decide from whose hands it originally came,
let us examine it closely. 1t is of pale blue at
the top, with spray of conventonally treated
flowers, in light greens and pinks, on the side.
The surface is broken unevenly into spots,
the background of which is in some instances
white, again Of the pale blue, and at the very
base Of a deep, rich blue, covered by an all

The unwilling of the Plymouth monument
concludes a movement which has been thirty
six years in developing. In 1853 steps were
taken to erect a monument to the Pilgrim
Fathers near Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrim
society took the matter in hand, and chose
Mr. Hammatt Billings, then prominent
Boston architect, to design monument. The
society also appointed agents to collect funds,
but later on this whole work was instructed
to the Rev. Willard M. Harding, of Chelsea.
The three persons originally most active in
the work-Mr. Billings, his brother, who
succeeded him, and Mr.. Hardiug-all have
passed away before the completion of the
work.
The monument is placed on high hill near
Plymouth Rock, where it can be seen from the

LOSS THE ALASKAN.

The Pacific Coast Steamship, Alaskan,
Founders IN Gale.
PORTLAND, Ore, May l6.-The steam
ship, Columbia, which has just arrived at
Astoria, bound from San Francisco to
Portland, brings a report of the loss of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany's magnificent side wheel steamer,
Alaskan. This vessel is reported to have
foundered at sea off Cape Blanco May ID,
while on her way from Portland to San
Francisco. Only meager details have
been rec. lived yet. The Alaskan left
Portland last Saturday, May IL,
bound for San Francisco where
she was to go on this dry dock
for some repairs, preparatory to being
placed on the Puget sound route. 1t is
supposed she must have had a very heavy
gale on her way down the coast. The
steamer carried no passengers, having
only her crew and officers when she went
down. Cape Blanco is some 400 miles
south of the mouth of Columbia river.
The steamship, Columbia, which was
coming up the coast, picked up the cap
tain and mate and eleven of the crew and
brought them to Astoria. Five men are
reported to b drowned. Two boats con-
tanning the remainder of the Grew have not
yet been heard from.

QUINTANA, Tex, May 16.-The board of

under the plans and supervisors of Mr.
Z. l.. Corthell and Mr.. Geo. g. Wisner,
engineers in charge. Messrs. Wisner and
Wilke conducted them over the work
and fully explained all the points.
They seemed we'll pleased with the
plans, character and amount Of work done,
and were estonished at the great progress
made in such a short time and especially
at the great depth of water in the river,
which they supposed from the old charts
to be much less. They expressed conf
dence that the syndicate will soon have
depth of from 20 to 25 feet over the bar,
and that In consequence a great CONNER
cal mart must grow up at this point.

favorable legislation which the fire in
surance business is suffering under.
"Unfavorable legislation" he said sis
one of the obstacles we have to con-
tend against. The Insurance companies
have brought it upon themselves by
the sharp and at times unfair adjustment of
losses. One instance of sharp practice in
town will, as soon as it becomes known,
produce a very bad effect in the COM

inevitable result"

WAS not constitutional. The matter was
finally referred to special committee of

taken by the encouragement Of the state
of Texas in regard to the bill re-
Gently passed by tue legislature of
that state defining trusts and
which discriminates against insurance in
terests by forbidding the formation of
any combination of rates. The
committee said that in their
opinion it would be well for each
and every company doing business not to
relax their efforts to maintain all existing
rules and rates now in force. The sug-
gestion was tabled as soon as read without
debate thus precluding any seeming
united action by the board that would be
antagonistic with existing laws of Texas.
The board then adjourned.
