The Flood Mansion.

In THE CALL, which he considered one Of
the best papers In the city, not only for
literary style. but for high moral purpose.
In the architectural contest the Cotton
mansion would be awarded the palm on
account OF its beautiful simplicity.
Concerning Emerson's creed. he said
briefly it was, believe any creed you like,
but do what your soul tells you is right ;
follow the honest, the real promptings OF
your heart Be real, do not aim merely to
seem something.
Mr. Lezinsky also said Emerson had suf-
fered what the poet himself had declared
was the fate of all great men-he had been
misunderstood.
Some people had asserted that he was an
atheist, others thought him pantheist; but,
said the lecturer. though Emerson had de-
vised no formal creed, for he never thought
OF himself as a philosopher. yet lie had de-
clared that he believed in one personal and
just God, who directed and guided his life.
Emerson followed Christs doctrines not be-
cause they were Christs, but because he
found truth in them.
All unhappiness was due to some fault or
ignorance of our own, for he utterly re-
jected the doctrine OF predestlnation.
1t was the thought and belief of this great
thinker that our truest, best happiness lay
in doing good. The man who Is conscious
in his inner soul of we'll doing is the happy
Dan. He gave thanks for all Gods work,
he was thankful even for the Angel OF Death.
The lecturer said Emerson was an op-
timlst, one OF the greatest optimists In the
world.
Mr.. Leznsky concluded by advising all
his hearers to carefully read "The Tbren-
ody" In order to thoroughly understand and
enjoy Emerson.

Compliments 1.-The Call"
During the past week David Lezinsky has
been giving very interesting series of lee
lures on 1.-THE Great Poets"
The fourth Of the series was given last
evening in his rooms in the Croker building
His theme was Emerson, the Poet and
Thinker"
The lecturer began by saying he consid-
cred Emerson the greatest poet the world
had ever seen.
Other singers might be more skillful in
the mechanical art of poetry but Emerson
was greatest in beauty and truth of thought
He was difficult TO understand because he
was simple, and simplicity was always hard
of comprehension.
This he said was clearly evidenced In tho
very admirable architectural competition

the Normannia was to court death, so they
subscribed $4,000 to purchase vessel
where they could be freed FROM c0ntamina-
ton with the steerage passengers, among
whom several cases of cholera had appeared.
The Stonngton was secured but proved
to be worthless craft. Its engines were
out of gear and there was no provision made
for cooking or berths. The passengers were
compelled to lie on the decks, and pande-
monium reigned continually between the
cries of children and the walls of hysterical
women.
To add to the horror of the situation the
passengers were over twenty-four hours
without bite to eat, and during all that
time they were not even provided with
drinking water.
At the end of that time. however, coffee
and bread was distributed among the half
famished ones.
Mr.. Lnewry states that the scene which
attended the distribution of food was ter
rble one. the men and women fighting for
food like wild beasts.

The tailoring firm is Pease Bros. OF Ram

say was incurred in 1890.
Dr. Galvan didn't appear In Justice Lows

Nevertheless the rel resentative OF Pease

A Novelty In the Electric Fan.

During the last hot wave man was seen
walking down the most crowded street in
large city with unique load. He had in
his hand storage cell. about the size of
hand-valise, and his left he carried motor.
A flexible cord connected the motor with
the battery cell. and the fan was spinning
away at rate that produced lively
breeze all around. There are. perhaps, a
few people who are desperate or enthusi-
astic enough to carry their fan-motor outfit
with them in their peregrinations through
crowded city, but that the thing 10 posi-

Why has the Cotton house been pre-

Simply on the ground of its harmony and

their private residences.

They are all brief and to the point.

are far more artistic.
