STEEL BUILDINGS.
Experts Agree that They Can Safely
Withstand the Power of Cyclones.

The appalling calamity that lately fell
upon st. Louis has given Chicago some
thing serious to think about, and consfd-
erably the hasty
that we need to have no fear OF cyclones.
Thai assumption has been based, for the
most part, upon the theory that the
buildings of a great city would SO break
the force of a ornado that little damage
could result.
This theory does not seem to have much
value in the light of the dreadfu expert
fall back Upon the less satisfactory theo-
ry thai the proximity of Lake Michigan
gives immunity. Blu the meteorological
say hat this view Is unsupported by fact,
and we can all remember that Racine.
also on the shore of the lake. was badly
damaged by a cyclone not many years
ago. Perhaps the question of greatest
practical interest raised by the St. Louis
disaster is that of the stability OF the
modern form of steel construction, so
largely used in business structures here
and elsewhere. Buildings of this type
do not seem to nave suffered much at
St. Louis. although it is reported that
in one or two instances the roofs were
torn away.
The architects have a good deal to say
upon the subject, and are generally Of
the opinion that the building of modern
skeleton construction would withstand
the fury of any cyclone that ever swept
| Gotta sheathing of such a building would
probably suffer. and the steel framework
might get twisted, but the building
| would stand, as a whole, In the face Of
any conceivable wind pressure.-Harper's

FRENCH LABOR QUESTION.
The Ways that Things arc Made
Easy for the Workfngman.

The tendency seems toward making
things easier for the workman by doing
away with harsh methods and paying
more attention to the instruction of
skilled labor. For years. accident benefit
societies, company hospitals and in a few
cases instruction, have been in success

However, such troubles are rare or un-
known where sithe old man, as the work.
men usually call him, is superintendent.
The fact is, that just as human considera-
tibn is the basis of g-entNenAnly conduct,
enabling men to rningle without friction.
so q regard for the happiness and COM
tentrnent of is certain to be ap-

established In which wages play no part.
An up-to-date application of these prin-

and also rooms where they may heat and

long promised visit. His Eminence yes

Joseph's Seminary in New York.
stayed over night with Archbishop Cor

drove over to Jersey City and accompan
led by Monsignor De Concilio drove to
Father Ter Woert's rectory on the Boule-
yard.
Here His Eminence was received by the
rector and escorted through the new
church building. Cardinal Satcli made
a close inspection of the structure
was delighted with Its architectural
beauty.
He co~mpHmented Father Ter Woert on
the zeal exhibited by himself and his par
ish and said he wondered how they had
accomplished such magnificent results.
The Cardinal greatly admired the beauti-
ful windows and was lavish in praise of
everything about the building. To Father
Ter Woert he addressed personally the
warnest compliments upo the condition
Of the parish, and the work being done in
its midst. a memorial OF which is found
In the new church itself.

Father Ter Woert replied that he hoped
everything would be ready for the dedica-
tion ceremony in three months He point
ed out that the flooring was N finished,
trimmings were still required and the
three marble affairs now being built have
vet to be placed In position. Besides. there
was the decorative work to be finished,
the s~caffolding torn down and odds and
ends always found in an almost finished
building to be disposed of.
When you are ready / hope to be able
ITO be present" added the Cardinal.
When the church was thoroughly In
spected Farther Ter Woert's distinguished
guest rested a few minutes at the rectory
ard then left on the midday train for
Washington.
The partial promise OF the Cardinal to

of the rumors that the Cardinals alleged
successor, Mgr. Martinelli, is to come over
In q few weeks and relieve Cardinal Sa
tolM.
As for the parish of st. Johns they are
delighted at the prospective honor to their
beloved rector and church. and when the

NOTES. FOR THE JUDGES.
Act of She Legislature Takes Away
MANY Perqufsites.

1t may not be generally known that a
large proportion of the fee system in the
county courts was abolished by the act
which ~legislated the lay judges out of
office. Neither Justice Lippincott nor
Judge Hudspeth receive any fees and
whatever fees are taxed in the bill of
costs in civil and criminal cases are re-
mitted by the County Clerk to the State
Comptroller for the use of the State.
The fee of fifty cents for naturalization
papers. which formerly went to the lay
judges, has been abolished and the cost
of becoming a citizen Of the United
States in our courts is correspondingly
cheaper. Justice Lippincott's salary is
sl0.5o and Judge Hudspeth's $500.
The fees collected by the Surrogate in
the Orphans Court. which formerly went
to the lay judges, are now turned over
by the Surrogate TO the County Collector.
The fee system still prevails in the Of
fees of the Prosecutor, Sheriff. County
Clerk, Surrogate and Register.
