Fifth Ward school Building.

Citizens of the Fifth ward are much
pleased that they are soon to have
school building that will be not only
sufficient to accommodate the children
of that section, but will also be
credit to the city.
The excavation for the cellar and
foundation is about done and work on
the foundation is progressing rapidly.
Mr.. Burrell Martin, contractor for the
stone work, is doing a good job. The
footing course is three feet wide and
the walls are solidly laid on large
stone. The cellar in which the heat
ing apparatus will be placed is under
the center of the building and from it
will proceed the chimney and venti-
lating shaft.
There will be six rooms, three on
each floor, with ample Railways and
cloak rooms. The grade of the stairs
will be easy with two landings and
ventilation will be as near perfect as
possible. Mr.. John l.. oliver, men,
Der of the board Tor that ward has been
most persistent in favor of the new
building, and while other members
have not opposed it, the honor of Sc
curing the building is largely due to
Mr.. oliver. When completed it will
be the best school building in the
city, and being constructed of the best
material obtainable and in the most
substantial manner will be a monu-
ment of which all might be proud.

mony of all vast is beautiful !"
Visitors to the church and members
expressed their appropriations and de-
clared that a faithful set of workers
must be in our church. This is true.
Upon every public occasion when the
Sunday school comes into the audi
ence room of the church with its ex-
ercises committee appointed always
makes the necessary preparations in
the way OF floral display aud decora-
tions. Not that various committees
vie with each other, or that there is
rivalry, but each does its best and re-
suits in a beautiful appearance.
Upon this occasion it seems as
though high water mark was reached
in the way of design at least. And
all join in grateful testimony Of APP
probation. The programme too was
attractive and every part perfectly
rendered making the service deeply
interesting and attractive to all. In
the large arch way above the pulpit
platform almost endless yards of tied
myrtle were strung from ceiling to
floor and then drawn back on each
side. forming immense portiers of
ivy or myrtle, Upon these curtains

isle, trimmed with spruce and
filled in with beautiful flowers The
effect was charming, and elected the
admiration OF all. Eight cages of
birds were hung at suitable places
which helped to make the occasion
more sweet and attractive. An offer
of $50 was lifted for the LOUISVILLE

The church was packed to overflow

the service occupied the pulpit plat

HIS PROPOSITION.


He Knew How to Put Stop to tho
Fires.
There is little suburban town out
in New Jersey and it's Inhabitants are
very proud of their fire department,
claiming that it can meet every posi-
BILE exigency, says Harper's Round Ia
BILE. AS for the truth of this state
ment, it is not advisable to mediate
upon and there is one thing possible
and that is the inability of it's mem
bers to prevent fires. Unfortunately,
such occurrences were growing to be
chronic af1iction and in desperation
the leading officials of the fire depart
and the town officials met to devise
ways and means of stopping them
It's carelessness, rank careless
ness!'' exclaimed one portly gentleman.
"Such things should rarely happen in
well-regulated communities
Thus it went on for over an hour
growing no nearer to solution of the
difficulty. Finally one of the fire de-
partment members arose. Gentle
men," he cried, II have a resolution
to propose which I think if adopted
by the honorable members of this
board will entirely do away with fires
in our town" Ss,~.---,
Hear, hear cried the members of
the board. What is it? Propose it,
etc.
Gentlemen, I propose that three:
days before each fire some one should
go to the house and ascertain if it has
been caused by the inmates careless
ness and if so enforce payment of
money to meet the expenses of run.

WOMAN IN LETTERS.
What She Really Has Done for


what she Really Has Done Tor
s31 Poetry.
There is an extremely interesting ar
ticle in one Of the French literary
weeklies says the st. James Gazette
After doing M Jules Lemaitre on
Women Of Letters" homage to the !.
genius Of George Sand, whose value
as an artist" M. Lemaitre rates be-
low Michelet's and Victor Hugo's, the
accomplished writer discusses the eter-
nal problem of why women are Meth
ser great poets nor writer's in the sense
OF Writers in the grand style. No
Woman-not even Nine. de Seyigne---
has contributed to the picturesque and
plastic development Of French style in
the. sense that Rousseau, Chateau
BRAND, Hugo, Gautier and others have,
and there is no feminine La Fontaine
or LIE Bruyere. NJ Lemaitre believes
that the most cultivated women care
less about the form and harmony of
words than the expression of senti-
ments that appeal to them and move
them. TO arrive at the perfection Of
style it is necessary to have at the mo-
ment of writing poetry a certain de-
gree OF objectivity which, while it
does not efface the impression and emo
tons that have been inspired, permits
OF the poets consideration of the mu-
sic and beauty of the words that re-
cord them. This attitude of objectivity
| is rarely possessed by women, and the
result is they are not sufficiently mas
ters OF their instrument at the moment
OF writing. TIC set against this he de-
clares that the important role they
| have played in literature is to inspire
great writers, and that there has new
er been written a great poem which is
not stamped with the influence Of a
woman.

FRENCH REVOLUTION STORY.

When Mems Lives Depended on Small
Issues.
At the time of the French revolution
Houdon, the celebrated French sculp-
tor (whose statue of Voltaira we have
all admired in the, foyer of the ,Theater
Francaise), was thrown into prison,
says an exchange. Nine. Houdon, in
despair, went to Barras and with
streaming eyes implored his assist
ance. Barras shook his head; he
feared he could do nothing. Houdon
was a man of genius and, therefore,
as David was one of the condemning
Judges, he feared there was little
chance for his salvation. Nine. Hou-
don refusing to accept this opinion
as final and using all the arts and be-
guilements of which an astute French
lady is capable, Barras at last con-
descended to ask if her husband had
any statue for sale at that time in his
studio. Madame replied that the only
finished statue at present in his atelier
was a figure Of st. Scholastic, holding
scroll of manuscript in her hand On
hearing this the willy Barras rang the
bell and said to his answering secre-
tary: Mr.. Houdon has just completed
splendid statue of Philosophy Medf-
tating on the Revolution Hasten and
purchase this sublime work of art and
have it placed in the assembly," Bar
ras' orders were carried out, with the
result that not only was the sculptor's,
| life spared, but he received more COM
missions for statues than he was able
| to execute. On such small issues did
the lives of men hang in those tire.
mendous times.

THIS Is THE NUT SEASON.
All of the Familiar Varieties Now in
the Market.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Now that the summer
fruit season is on its last legs the trade
which caters to the taste of the public
in the way of table delicacies is turn
ing its attention to nuts.
All the old, familiar varieties are now
in the market, as well as some kinds with
which the public generally is not at all
familiar. Chief among the latter is the
cob nut. This is an English importa-
ton and has been brought over by a
State street house which makes a spe-
cialty of fancy edibles of most any kind.
The cob nut is a close family relative of
the American hazel nut, its form and tex
ture being identical, except that the Eng
lish product is large and elongated, where
as the nut from the American bush is
small and round. Abroad the bush is
cultivated for hedges. The nut is ship
ped to this country in the husk or burr,
which aids in keeping it moist Its price
is 45c per pound. Although the most ex-
pensive nut in the market, it is growing
in popularity with the class who are on
the lookout for something new and deli
cate in the eating line.
Pecans are always popular, and this
winters supply promises TO be choice.
They are coming now from Texas, Mis-
souri, and southern Illinois, those raised

Brazil nuts, the name of which indicates
their origina, are in good supply, as are
the almonds, which come almost entirely
from California Prices on all these nuts
except the cob, run from Is to zoe per

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful, dan
gerous to life and very expensive, out
in the light of modern medical research
and since the discovery of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure a surgical operation IS
wholly unnecessary II you nave any
doubt on this point kindly read the fol-
lowing letters from people who know
that our claims regarding the merits
of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne
out by the facts.
From n. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mag
ara Co, n. Y: I received your Pyramid
Pile Cure and tested it last night 1t
did me more good than anything l have
ever found yet, and remember TINS was
the result of one nights treatment
From Penn w. Arnett, Batesville,
Ark: Gentlemen:-YOur Pyramid Pile
Cure has done so much good IN SO snort
a time that my SOn-in-1aW, capt. l. J.
Klein. of Fort Smith, Ark, has written
me for your address as he Wlshes TO
try it also.
From A. E. Townsend. Benville, Ind:
[ have been so much benefited by the
pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose 81 for
which please send a package which L
wish to give to a friend of mine who
suffers very much from pies ISi5.4 ~
From John H. Wright, Clinton, De-
Witt Co, Ills: 1 am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that l
think it is but right to drop you few
lines to inform you its effects have
been all that I could ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton, L1ano, Tex:
Gentlemen:-The Pyramid Pile cure
has done so much good for me that
will say for the benefit of others that
after using only two days I am better
than have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co of Albion,
Mich. and it is truly a wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So great
has been the number of testimonial let
tiers received by them from all parts of
the country that they have decided to
publish each week a number of such
letters and never use the same letter
twice but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
ind Pile Cure, as they know from what
their customers say that no remedy
gives such general satisfaction.

MUST PAY DUTY.
Mandel Brothers Imported Statuary
Not Admitted Free.

New York, Nov. 2.-Mandel Brothers of
Chicago imported several busts, single
figures and groups in marble, alabaster
and bronze and claimed free entry on the
ground that they were works of art.
They were copies of the originals of
Venus de Milo cupid and Psyche, -
Diana" Three Graces," Aurora and
other well known pieces of sculpture. The
invoices were accompanied by the usual
artists certificates to the effect that
the maker of the articles imported was in
each instance professional sculptor and
that the figures were produced by him."
The collector of customs in Chicago as
sessed these goods for duty at 40 and 30
per cent ad valorem respectively.
The importers appealed to the general
appraisers.
In the denial of the appeal the board
holds that the only statuary entitled to
classification under the law as the pro-
fessional productions of a statuary or
sculptor only is such as is produced by
a professional sculptor in his own studio,
either by his own hand or by others I'M
der his direction and supervision, and to
which he has himself given the final chas-
ing or finishing touches and expression.
The board also refused free entry to
church affairs.

DEATH MASK OF GEORGE.
Taken by His Son Richard, Who is a
Sculptor.

New York, Nov. 2.-Henry Georges son
Richard has taken a death mask of his
illustrious father. The work was done
Friday afternoon. The features have thus
been definitely retained and will in time
be done in marble. Richard George is a
sculptor, and although he felt some deli
cacy about undertaking the work of max
ing death mask of his own father, he
felt that he, who had studied him long,
could do justice to the man as no one
else could.
Richard George is a remarkable mem
Der of remarkable family. Just before
the mayOralty campaign of 1886 Richard
went into the employ of Tom L. Johnson
on his railroad in Brooklyn, which was
afterward abandoned. Then he got back
nearer to his cherished ambition by be-
coming draughtsman for street railroad
company in Johnstown.
For three years he worked there, put
ting in his spare time studying art. For
awhile he was in the photographing bust
ness in Johnstown, but the panic of 1898
broke up the firm of which he
partner. While in Johnstown Mr.. George
married Miss Mary E. Robinson.
Then the offer of position in the archi-
tectural terra Gotta works in West Phila-
delpha gave him a chance to model in
clay. Then he began on his best work,
a bust of Henry George, his father.
Henry Georges widow has not been left
penniless, although the amount of the es-
tate left by the dead philosopher is very
small, when the enormous sale of his
books is taken into consideration. The
home is entirely paid for and it stands in
Mrs Georges name. 1t is worth about
$4,000 In addition to this Henry George
had in bank perhaps 81 500 more, and he
also carried a small amount of life in
surance. The whole amount of his es-
tate will not exceed $4,000.
