BARR FERRE, in the Architectural
Record, thinks the attempts to evolve a
distinctively American style of architect
ure will continue to be, as they have
been, futile. This is sound conclusion.
There is nothing humiliating in it either.
The country is too large and varied in its
geographical conditions, as Ferre sug-
gests, to make simple architectural ideal
possible. We take from all styles, as we
reject among all. AS result we have a
strange and most odd mixture, pre-
cisely as is our population. But, with all
that, American architecture is progress
i've, and if we have not distinctive style,
but copy from models, it makes no differ
ence. We build for our needs, and if the
structures serve the purpose the Ameri-
can motive is accomplished. The nation
will be a century or more older before the
people can afford even to stop to think
about an American style of architecture.

The ReUieao Of ReUieaOS says: "If the
murderous and unprovoked attack in the
streets of Valparaiso, made by mob of
citizens and bayonetted gendarm,es upon
unarmed sailors and marines wearing the
uniform of the United States Govern
ment and belonging to our navy, had
been made upon British or German ma
rines, the Chilean Government would
have made abject apologies and pledged
heavy indemnities long before this, or
else Valparaiso would have been bonn
barded into heap of smoking ruins" 4"
The RECoRD-UNIoN has already ex-
pressed a like opinion. 1t is the one hu-
initiating thing in the Presidents mes
sage, that he should tell us that the na-
ton had been insulted and its letter of
inquiry contemptuousIy treated, and that
we put up with it, in silence.

OF his guilt were positive, he entered the
plea. To his CONSERVATION Judge Ross
imposed fine of $500, with the alterna-
tive of Imprisonment. This action by
the court will have tendency to make
the lottery gamblers respect the law, or
engage in its violation so warily that the
chances of fixing guilt upon them will be
very few. People who believe in enforc-
ing the laws and giving criminals to un-
derstand that punishment should not be
so light as to amount to mere license
fee, will applaud the action of Judge
Ross.

Washington friend. which will show you
what q thorough lady she was. There was
4 correspondent for a Now York paper in
Washington named O'Connor. He was q
brilliant writer and considerable of q So
ciety man. He went to her house one at
ternoon and sent her his card, wishing to
pay his respects. She received him with
amiability and spent half an hour in con-
versation, interesting him greatly in topics
he had never before discussed. As he rose
to go she handed him back his card. He
was a little dismayed at this act, but deem :
ing it some peculiar courtesy OF piece of ct
iquette of which he was ignorant, he went
away with it in his hand. But he pondered
over the meaning OF it until, as he was
passing a street lamp. his eyes happened to
fall on the card and discovered writing on
its back. Hastily examining the scrawl. he
found these words: i owe Blanks saloon

A Jersey cow belonging to Linneas Cain.
a farmer near Mooresville, Ind, gave birth
to a calf having six separate, distinct and
well-developed feet. The extra feet are at
tached to the hind legs, and it walks on all
of its six feet alike. The calf is doing we'll
and it is as active as any of its species
with natural feet. Mr.. Cain has received
several likely offers for the freak as a mu-
scum curiosity.
