Ex-Speaker Tom Reed answers the
question who pays the tariff duties, the
foreigner or the American consumer. By
pointing out that sometimes the consumer
pays the tariff tax. or duty; sometimes the
foreigner. To the extent To which the
foreigner is willing 20 accept smaller
profits to get market here he pays the
tsrif tax. 50 far a, the foreigner is no,
willing 20 make such abatement the resi-
due OF the taxes is paid by the consumer.
This cuts the supports from under the
free-;rade assumption ,ha, the entire
weight Of tariff duties rests Oh the Amer.
can consumer.

 They had five sons, of whom three are ministers, and one, General Henry Mar tin Duffield, won high honors during the civil war, was wounded at Chicka- mauga while on the staff of General Thomas and was the orator of the day when the Garfield statue was unveiled at Washington in 1887.
 William Ward Duffield was born Nov. 10, 1928, in Carlisle. Pa, was graduated at Columbia in 1S42. served fin the Mexican war on the staff of Gen eral Gideon J. Pillon and was wounded at Cerre Gordo and Contreras. He en- tered the civil war as lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Michigan infantry, and by hard service gained the rank of brig adler general. President Lincoln bre- vetted him major general for conspicuous gallantry in the battle of Murfreesboro. As engineer he has managed many great works and was engaged as chief engi- neer in the construction of the Kentucky Union railroad when appointed to his present. position. In 1880 he was a can- didate for sheriff of Wayne county, in which Detroit is situated, but was de- feated- He has O son and daughter. and his family has recently lived at Pine. vile, Ky. The Duffields are long lived and hardy race, and though 70 years old the general is quite vigorous.

Hint. For Amateur GlazIer..

Any one who wishes to insert ground glass panes into windows needed only to admit light can do so at the smallest expense by following these directions from The Housewife: A piece of putty as soft as dough must be tied very tight. ly into n muslin rag. This closely com. pressed ball needs then to bc rubbed rap. idly over tho glass to be decorated until an even, delicate white film grows over it. When the film of putty so applied is beginning to dry, n coat of white var nish should be laid on. and in a few hours a wonderful imitation of ground glass will be the result. In case tho anna teur glazier wishes to work a pattern on the panes by marking through a card board stencil design before the varnish Is laid on little patterns of stars, dia. monds or dots can be clearly drawn out on the glass. ~>

A J. BLooR, SECRETARY NEW YORK CHATTER. western body that its accession nearly doubled that of the older one. During the early years of the institutes life its conventions were held at somewhat ir- regular intervals, but . dinner was eaten every year on Washington birth day. These gatherings still live in the memory of some of the older members with a vividness that nothing can dim, but no records of them are now to be had.
 One of the most beneficial movements made by the institute was the arranging for the publishing by Boston firm of The American Architect and Building News, the initial number of which ap- peared in 1876. Its establishment has been followed by other periodicals of a somewhat similar character, among them being Architecture and Building of New York, The Building Budget and The Inland Architect of Chicago, and The California Architect of San Fran cisco. Another very important accom- plishment by the institute was the issu- ing of a schedule for the guidance of practitioners in their relations with clients, including the charges which reputable architects in Europe, in their practice since early in the last century, had laid down as minimum fees. Sew eral times the schedule as originally formulated has been changed, and in its final form has been adopted by every architectural fraternity in the country. More than one architect, especially among the younger members of the pro- fession, has been enabled by the produc- ton of the schedule to smooth out con- plications with clients over fees while ye: they were in the embryonic state.
 The institute has constantly made for the uplifting of the architectural profes- sion, and its influence upon public spirited laymen of artistic cultivation or tastes has reacted generously to the professions benefit. There is indeed but one architectural prize offered in all Europe-the Prix de Rome of the Ecole des Beaux Arts-that is more sought after than is the Rotch travelling schol- arship, administered by the Boston chapter and founded by the heirs of the late MT. Benjamin H. Rotch, father of Mir. Arthur Rotch, fellow of the Bos- ton chapter. It's income amounts to $2, . 900 annually and is found sufficient to support two scholars constantly in Europe. Somewhat similar to this have been the various scholarships in archi- lecture established in several institu- tions of learning.
 The present officers of the institute are: President, Daniel H. Burnham of Chicago; first vice president. George B. Post of New York; second vice presi- dent, Levi T. Schofield of Cleveland; treasurer, Sam A. Treat of Chicago; sec- retary, Alfred Stone of Providence NJ. l. DEXTER

DANIEL H. BJ kNHAM, PRESIDENT. will not only not be disappointed, but they will get more profit and entertain ment out of the coming gathering than they have ever before realized on such an occasion.
 Tho name of the organization to which these men belong is the Ameri- can Institute of Architects, and the committee of arrangements, whose mem- bers are laboring to prepare a fitting programme, both from a professional and a social standpoint, is made up of E. H. Kendall, Charles F. McKim, Al fred Stone, Thomas Hastings and A. J. Bloor. Papers are promised from W. P. P I4ongfellow, Henry Van Brunt, Russell Sturgis, Thomas Hastings, T. M. Clark, P B. Wright, Louis H. Sul- hvan and R. W. Gibson. To many readers these names may not count for much, but to the architect and the stu dent of the evolution of the American idea in architecture they mean a good deal. for these men are numbered among those who have contributed inn menSely toward the progress that has been apparent in America during these later years. both in the direction of Q StIlOlI bI dIsO toward the creation of buildings that are really beautiful and admirably adapted each to the use for which it is designed.
 The prototype of the American Insti- tute of Architects came into being near ly 60 years ago, when one less than a dozen of the few competent architects then praCticing their profession in the United States gathered at the Astor House, ill New York, and formed the American Institution of Architects. The names of the men who were inter eSted in that organization have since been written large in the list of the pioneers who paved the way the archi- tects of today are treading with such marked results. These latter are no doubt, as a body, far in advance of those who passed before in freshness of design, in harmonious treatment and in achievements, but still, when due allow ance is made for the narrower opportu-. mites enjoyed and their work is exam ined, it must be conceded that the found CTS of the institution possessed abil- ity that must be regarded with great respect. Among them were Alexander
 
 drallike pile (recently torn down to make way for a modern apartment building) that for so many years shel- tered the University of New York; Thomas |. Walter of Philadelphia, who designed the buildings of Girard college and later the dome and extensions of the capitol at Washington: William i Strickland, architect. of the United States mint at Philadelphia and the Tennessee state capitol at Nashville; John Haviland, who had been pupil of James Elmer, the blind architect, and others of scarcely less note. In May of the next year a second meeting was held at Philadelphia, when a more form al organization was effected, the roll bearing che names of g professional, 3 associate and 25 honorary members. But although there was no lack of enthusiasm or earnestness among these

They Are but Little Better In Dry weafh
 CT Than During the Season of Mud.
 The past summer has been a season of extraordinary dryness, especially in the eastern and middle states, where, except for few light showers, no rain fell for nearly two months. The effect of the continued drought was nowhere more apparent than in the highways. and ac- cording as they were constructed of stone or dirt was travel over them easy of accomplishment or filled with danger and vexation. During n time of such unexampled lack of rain even the best macadam or telford road will show signs of wear and tear and accumulate layer of dust, but they do not disintegrate, and passage over them presents no diff fculty to the traveller, whether with light carriage. bicycle or farm wagon.
 Not so, however, with the ordinary country road made of dirt, unrolled gravel, clay and sand. Under usual con- ditions these roadways are fairly good in summer, when occasional rains keep them competed, but with lack of mois- ture they become almost as impassable as during the wet seasons of fall and spring. The constant passage of vehicles cuts deep ruts filled with fine dust and sand, hiding from view the stones and powders, which only make themselves known by n broken trace or whiffietree, or if the traveller be bicyclist he may add broken limb to his ruined wheel. The center of the road is no better, and the wear and tear on horsefiesh is al. most beyond computation. Up to his fetlocks in yielding sand, the horse struggles and strains with loads that must even be hauled down hill. There is no need for brakes on the wagon, and holdback straps arc useless. It is O con- tinuous pull, down as we'll us up.
 The marvel of this state of nffairs is that the farmers do not seem to care about it They accept it as matter of course. They arc not to blame because there has been no rain. They do not seem to think or care to think that 1t is within their power to have good roads, so built that they will not be affected by the lack or superhuity of rain or sun.
 Until the farmer is brought to realize the great benefit paved highways will be to him, until he can be made to sec the valuo in dollars and cents, in com IbII llllisIAlr HI llIe usefulness of his horses and wagons until that blessed time there is little hope that the movement for better high ways in the farming districts of this country will be anything more than it is at present-a chimera, a dream of the future.
 But it will not stop here. The leaders in the good roads cause are tireless, brave J and influential. The foremost citizens in many of the states arc already enlist. ed, and the work of education goes on. In the last few years n mighty host has been added to tho good roads army, and thousands of wheelmen are enthusiastic supporters of the work, and their mum. bers arc constantly and rapidly growing. We may hope, then, that what appear: to be afar of may be near. and that tho 1 younger element now asserting itself will not rest until its object is accom- plished. W. H. BALLINGER-
