In mercantile circles in Germany
there is very little sympathy for the
Japanese, and probably one reason is
that it is becoming more and more diff

taken to utilizing the knowledge ac-

THE CITY HALL.

ArChite oturelIy In America,

why lnlb NlhSS vi DultOiHRS ms DtChtucu
Accidentally In America.
There is no more interesting study
than the development of municipal
life, and this is especially true of the
middle ages, in which the growing
power of the municipalities was iden-
tical with the beginnings of the asser-
ton of individual rights. 1t is not to
be wondered that under such circum-
stances and in an architectural age the
citizens sought to express their newly
acquired privileges in some architec-
tural monument; hence nearly every
European city of Importance can boast
a medieval city hall, which was the di-
rect outcome of this feeling So en-
thusiastic were the men of the middle
ages in this work that the building of
city halls almost died out in the ff-
teenth century, since every town had
It's municipal edifice and there was no
further occasion for activity in this di-
rection.
In this day, and especially in Amer
lea, there is little of this old feeling
left We do not build city halls to cx-
press our municipal power or pride or
as a thank offerings to the genius of
our cities; they express neither our
wealth nor our culture. They are ordi-
nary buildings, erected often with little
thought of art, and even when the
artistic side is attended to the result is
frequently so unsatisfactory as to make
one wish it had been further neglected,
Instead of being adornments to our
;ities the city halls of to-day are toe
often the most objectionable structures
within them; instead of being objects
Of pride they are sources of regret
The American political system, with
its bosses and boys and party rival
ries, is not conducive to the progress OF
architectural art, and in this lies the
explanation of much that is unsatisfac
tory in city halls. II is the length Of
the job and what may be lin" it thai
appeal TO the mind of the average pol
itician rather than any art merit o.
which he seldom knows anything
And so in the great cities the building
OF the municipal edifice has come to be-
dreaded instead of being a source fol-
public rejoicing. as was the case in the
middle ages.-Chicago News.

NYACK, \. ". Oct. 22.-The four
grandchildren Of Rev. William Taylor,
Methodist missionary bishop of Africa,
persisted in the flames of the elegant

south of Nyack, early today. In addi-
ton one man was so badly burned that
he can scarcely recover, and two others
are seriously injured.
1t was little after O'Clock when
Mrs. Taylor was awakened by smoke.
She aroused her husband, Rev. Ross
TAYLOR. He found the halls filled with
smoke, the fire having obtained great
Roadway. Mr.. and Mrs, Taylor CROPPED
through the sufiocating smoke to the
open air without having been able to
extend a helping hand to their six
children or others of the household. As
MIR. and Mrs. Taylor emerged tue fire
department arrived. Their energies
were directed toward the rescue of
those who remained in the doomed
structure.
The two eldest Taylor children, Stew
art and William, were aroused, and.
jumping from window, were caught
without being seriously injured. Har-
riet, aged IL: Ada, 9; Arthur, Z, and
Schultz, 5. persisted. Their bodies were
recovered three hours later.

LIFE AND PROPERTY NOT SAFE
Lawless Bands Infest all Sections aud
Men Are Held Up in Broad Bay
light and Robbed.

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The Indian
office today received advices by tele-
graph from Indian territory, giving
briefly an account of the lawless condi-
ton of affairs in that section, and ask
ing that some action he taken by the
United States authorities which will
protect the citizens and restore order.
1t is stated that armed bands of out
laws are in possession Of the territory.
The Indian police are unable to pro-
tect the people and prevent robbery.
Lawless bands infest all sections. Men
are held up by highwaymen in broad
daylight and robbed life and property
are not secure either by day or night.
Express companies have refused to
transport money, and no other means
of carrying funds have been devised.
There are three well-known organ
lied bands of desperadoes, composed of
thieves, thugs and tough characters
from all sections Of the country, who
make business of piilaging the towns.
1t has been suggested that in the pres
ent emergency the territory could be
placed under martial law and troops
directed to clear the country of the
gangs which now infest it. This
would be an extreme measure and
would not likely be resorted to unless
all other meth DDS fail.
