NECESSITY FOR CROSS STREETS

In the course OF n year a large num-
ber OF new streets are opened within
the city limits and many others are
extended through property that has
become valuable in consequence OF the
rapid filing up OF the city. The jury
IN the McDowesl-st. opening case re-
ported allowances last evening
amounting to $13,3 ,365, for a narrow
strip OF land that could have been pur-
hased for me-third OF that amount
ten years ago. There has been in the
past a remarkable oversight In the
laying out OF streets, and in some cases
there is a stretch of 1000 feet or more
without any intersection. Sooner or
later the district fills up with resi-
dences and with the increased popula-
tspn comes a demand for cross streets
al a matter OF public convenienec.
The land Is covered with residences
and other buildings and the owners
who have settled down in their homes
do not care to give them up at any
price. 1t would seem that by a proper
regulation to govern the plating Of
property. much OF this expense and
inconvenience might be avoided. "A
regulation requiring cross street at
intervals OF from 800 to 500 feet, ac-
cording TO the convenience o! the prop
erry owners and the lay OF the land,
would forever preclude the necessity
OF opening streets at great expense
through valuable property.

socialism IN ARMIES.

Propaespdsssn Carried On Undcr tho Very
Eyos OF Europe's Potentatcs.
In several Of the armies Of Europe the
socialist propaganda Is now actively
carried on. according to big socialist
of New York city, who says, as quoted
in the Sun: at Is often referred to
with alazTa in the European papers,
but they cannot find out much about
it. It is secret work 1t is "a under

trouble that is coming in Europe. 1t is
impossible for soldiers to go to socialist
meetings, but they con be reached
otherwise. The British war Office has
found this out within short time; tho
German military authorities have
known it for ycors, and the Italian gov
ernment is troubled about IL.
'In England there are socialist agents
In the military ranks. They enlist in
the regiments, and, in the course OF
their service, find opportunities of talk
ing socialist doctrines very cautiously.
They stir up discomfort; they speak
against their officers when OF duty,

'As for the French army, the social

IN THE WRONG HOTEL.

Awkward Predicamcnt Of an American
Lady Through a Portcr's Biunder.
Most Of US have at one time or an
other experienced tho Inconvenience Of
not being acquainted with the language
of the country wherein one is travel
ing. Ono can, therefore, says the Lon
don Standard, sympathize with the
Washington lady whose mioedveuture
while staying at Aix-les-Bains for tho
benefit of her health has found its way
into print. Tho lady In question took
the baths like most Of the other visit
ors ut the health resort. The bath over.
tho patient. a. is known, is rapidly
dried, well enveloped in sheets and
blankets and conveyed back to the
hotel In a species OF sedan chair. On
reaching it he or sho IL laid into bed,
wound up in the blankets like o
mummy and. after being covered up
with yet additional blankets and .
quilt, is left to pcrspire for certain
period, longer or shorter, according to
taste.
Tho American lady, an unmarried
woman, was but imperfectly acquainted
with the pronunciation Of the French
Language. and when. lately, after her
bath, she told the attendant to take hsr
to "No. II at the hotel des Princes, !" he
understood her to soy tho hotel de
Franco. There she was conveyed,
placed in bed in room eleven and left to
perspire. After awhile she removed
slightly the covering from her head TO
perceive, with the utmost distress, that
she was IN Gtrange bed, with no other
dress save her blanket and that all
around tho room werc articles Of
clothing, ETC., proving the occupant
thereof to bolong to the opposite sex.
Tho poor lady's state of mind may
easily be imagined.
