A NEW BUSINESS METHOD

s. II. Baynard has adopted a new plan that
Is now prevailing In western cities, whereby
the opportunity is given to procure a good
watch for a very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed of forty mem
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes to the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-fve dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time a number is drawn which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive bis watch. similar to the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment OF
that number cease. The remaining members
less one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks. when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches so distributed are a gold-hlled
case, made by James Boss, with either All Ell
gin, Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-five dollars and which are fully war
ranted to give satisfaction Clubs are now
forming and drawings viii commence Tues

tion and examination Of the watches call at

his "inaienable rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness to retire to small
Austrian village, where he could carry on his
musical work uninterrupted and undisturbed.
The rumor that Saint-Saens had gone crazy
seems particularly absurd in view of the fol-
lowing letter, written by him recently to his
friend, Gallet, the librettist of "Ascanio,"
from Dieppe, French seaside resort:
Il see very, very pretty American women
on the sands | can foresee the day when
there will be no pretty women in the world
except in America. One understands why
these people have no need of art"
And one can also understand that man

sense in his utterances reed never fear incar-
ceration in a lunatic asylum for cause.

HOW To HOUSE ROCKS.

Twelve inches is a fair depth for two rows
of octavos. The projections should each have
attached to them an end piece, that is, shall
low and extremely light adhering bookcase,
which both increases the accommodation and
presents a face of books. The wall spaces
between the projections ought also to be
turned to account for shallow bookcases so
far as they are not occupied by windows
BY the adoption of his plan Mr.. Gladstone
says room 40x20, with bookcases nine feet
high, will accommodate 10000 volumes. The
portrait of the ex-premier given herewith,
shows him as he appears at the present time,
seated in his library and enjoying the COM

the moment; her stately danes and dark
eyed maidens in the costumes of the days of
the Medci escorted by gallants in trunk hose
with dagger in belt and sword at side; a court
of love sitting at the Politeamo; nightly
tableaux vivants reproducing the principal
scenes of the Vita Nuova," and in the Uffizi
palace an exhibition of the e.. 1t works of
the worlds greatest women. 1t may indeed
be called "a grand demonstration in honor
of the tender passion"
The court of love" will be mo leled on the
plan which obtained when good + Eng Rene
reigned in Provence and the troubadours
hourished beneath his gentle rule. Ladies,
noted for both beauty and intellect, will sit
in judgment on the literary productions Of
those who record in prose or verse their
praises of honorable affection-love, friend
ship and chivalry. To those whose efforts
are deemed the most worthy, floral crowns
and the honor of first choosing partners for
the closing ball and banquet will be accorded.
The tabeaux vivants are to be on a scale

Medieval chronicles have been ransacked for
the purpose of securing absolute accuracy in
the matters of costuming, scenery and sur
roundings In the exhibition of women's

Altogether it will be a great and notable
event, but if, in the mysterious beyond, it is
permitted to retain some measure of earthly
feeling, the united spirits of Dante and Be-
atrice must look down upon the fair valley
and farer town with something of cynicism
and reproach.
There, as of yore, towers the Campanile,
and humbly near its base still spreads the fiat
gravestone on which the great poet rested in
the time now so gray and old and gone to
watch the woman he loved sweep by with
her attendants toward the cathedral door.
| There laughs the Arno in its eternal youth of
strength and power, and there swarm the
people gay and laughing and impetuous a:
were their far off ancestors, who at the dusk
hailed Dante friend and at the dawn thrust
him from the gate. Viewing thus the pano
rama of the present, and recalling the record
of the centuries since they lived and loved
and suffered, the immortal dead can afford
to pass all things by with smile tolerant YET
protesting, for their fate was only that of al
who rendered Florence misunderstanding she

cease the order has gone ON with greater
strides than ever before in its history, and
the meeting of the sovereign grand lodge, to

Manchester Unity, referred to above, is
somewhat older than the independent order,
that has grown SO powerful in the United
States since the days of Widely. At London,
in the Eighteenth century, several societies
of mechanics and laborers calling themselves

recognized as the Union Order of Odd Eel
lows" A schism arose in 1913 by reason Of
attempts to abolish the convivial feature Of
the meetings, and then was formed the widely
influential body now known Manchester
Unity.

look for charters and authority, and the or
CARNATIONS now existing in Germany, Swift

How LAWYER Cleared His Client.

The recent death at San Diego, Cal, Of
Col. John Van Arman, a noted criminal law
yer of Chicago, brings to mind sensational
scene in a court room of which he was the CEN
trail figure some years ago. A prisoner he de-
Tended was charged with killing several peo-
pie by means of poisoned biscuits. Some
Of the biscuits and cakes supposed to contain
deadly ingredients were offered by the state
in evidence after expert witnesses had sworn
that they contained poison. During Mr.. Van
Armans speech to the jury on behalf Of his
client, to demonstrate as practically as posi-
Bile the truth of his assertion that the food
was harmless, he picked up and devoured
three or four of the biscuits. The audience
looked on in horror, but the lawyer kept
talking, and when he sat down an hour later
seemed as well before he made his novel
luncheon. The prisoner was acquitted.

CINCINNATI Y. M. c. A.
New Building to BE Erected This Summer
at "A Cost of 100000.

The plans for the new Y. NJ. c. A. building
of the Cincinnati association have been com
pleted by the architect, and as soon as the
specifications are drawn contracts will be let.
The present quarters are at Sixth and Elm
streets, but this property will he sold. The
new building will stand on the northwest cor
ner of Seventh and Walnut streets, two
squares from the government building. The
old dwelling houses that occupied the site
have been removed to make way for the new
structure, which will front 100 feet on Wal
nut street with depth of 73la feet on Sew
enth Its cost will be 100000, of which S10,-
600 has already been pledged. 1t is expected
that with the money realized from the sale of
the present property and additional subscrip-
tons in sight, the association will move into
the new building free of debt. In the accom-
plshment of this improvement in life the
association is mainly indebted to the ener
getic work of Secretary George T. Howser,
who went to Cincinnati five years ago from
Chicago, where he is also well known for ac-
tivity in Y. NJ. c. A. labors.
The new building will be built of stone and
pressed brick, with dressed stone finish. The
entrance from Walnut street is - feet wide
and leads by granite steps to the main floor,
upon hich is the secretary's ROOM an assem-
bly, hall, 45xG1 feet, with seating accom-
mediation for 800 in the auditorium and $50

ton offices, toilet rooms, coat rooms, etc.
The second floor, from which entrance is had
to the gallery of the assembly hall, contains
members parlors, general hall, recreation
rooms, and "A reading room with accommodate
tions for library of 5000 volumes The third
floor contains the ladies' parlor, SIX class
