as In nearly every other organ; in some

in others the kidneys are affected; in
Others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula-

RHODE ISLAND ARCHITECTURE.
Address by Mr.. Alfred Stone at The His
torical Society.

| AT last nights meeting of the Rhode Islant
Historical Society Mr.. Alfred Stone read an
f! interesting biographical paper ON Some o.
the Deceased Architects of Rhode Island ant
| Their Works"
Judge John III. Stiness presided and the
words of the lecturer were illustrated by many
stercoptican views.
An abstract of Mr.. Stones general remarks
on the transitions OF architectural style in
New England is as follows:
'The profession of arc ni lecture in the United
States previous To the middle of the 10Th CEN
tury was practiced rs profession by a very
few persons, and those who made plans for
buildings were either master builders or civil
engineers. IL was in those earlier days n part
OF the education and tho training of the APP
prentice boys who slived.in the families of
their masters not only TO learn trade but
10 help in all sorts OF household employment
He was taught TO draw with the compass and
coarse pencil or chalk. sufficient 10 lay out n
truss or some complicated piece of framing or
jointing. For instruction he had 10 study
some book on geometry and the masters copy
OF Pallado Loudinonsis' the Builders
Jewel or other standard works on architec-
ture, in which were carefully delineated ex-
amplcs of the five orders Tuscan, Doric,
Ionic. ,.Corinthiansand Composite.
They also studied accepted forms of front
entrances, windows for first and second
stories the proportions Of rooms, the con
struction OF circular stairs and how to draw
and work out in wood the most intricate hand
rails. with ramp and scroll and newell, and
thus acquired skill that would put 20 blush
most of the journeymen Of the present day.
The work OF these early days in New Eng.
land was based on tho Italian architecture of
thief Renaissance hnd may, perhaps, be best
expressed as Palladian, derived by tradition
or from n personal knowledge and familiarity
with English buildings desigcnd by lingo
Jones' his pupil John Webb Sir Christopher
Wren ana others, also from thoir published
works.
Tho best work. that which is now com
monty called Old Colonial was the domi
mating style down 20 the Greek revival, which
followed the publication of Stuart and Re
vott's Antiquities OF Athens, in four royal
folio volumes.
''The Greek style continued In vogue until
into the fortes, when a transition took place
and we saw the beginning of the period of
the worst vernacular with which this part of
the country has BEEN inflicted, and which
continued, with many variations, through the
Victorian, the French roof, the Neo-Grie and
the EsstlolSan STYLE emerging nj last in the
Queen Anne, and now we are again, with
much electiclsm, taking up the Renaissance
and are, trust, using the Italian architec-
ture with such conscientious care that we may
look for veritable Renaissance which will
eventuate in as good, permanent and enduring
work that which rose like a vision in the
white City and vanished like dream. but
left.its impress behind. which will not soon
be forgotten and never wholly effaced."

pie against the use Of tobacco. This
organization is known as the Anti
| Tobacco League and 10 has recently been
| thrown into deep gloom by statistics
showing an enormous and rapidly in
creasing consumption of the narcotic
weed. In 1895 French smokers threw 1903,
000 600 francs into the treasury of France
by tho patronage which they gave the
governments tobacco shops and this is
~ 0O0, 600 francs more than they spent for
that purpose the year before. The presi-
dent of the league finds in their excessive
use of the weed the chief reason why
Frenchmen are not increasing i'm number
and when an interviewer asked him how
IL was that smoking did not seem To pro-
duce the same effect in Germany he took
refuge in the more than dubitable asser-
ton that in Germany the people bought
good tobacco, while in France they were
practically forced 10 buy the wretched
stuff prepared in the government factories
Leaving aside the question of tho excel.
lence of German tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes, the presidents theory is weak
ened by the fact that good English and
American tobacco is now sold all over
Paris IL was recently rumored that the
government intended TO stop this general
sale but such is not the ease. Holders Of
the Bureaux de Iobac are still empowered
to supply the Englishman or American
with smoking material from Bristol or
Virginia, but they must not vaunt its
merits or display in a conspicuous manner
any foreign specimens of the weed. The
first place must be given to the "caporal'
and Maryland" packets, both blue and
yellow

is actually cheerful at times. To ropor-
ter Sullivan said:

The Sad Story Belle Maker Told In
Court.
Convicted Eight Times In Three Years.
Wanted Another Chance.

Boston, March 10. Belle Maker, pale,
delicate looking woman, about 20 years of
age, was found guilty of drunkenness In
the superior criminal court yesterday
afternoon before Judge Fessenden, the case
having been appealed from the lower
court.
She was brought in for sentence at the
conclusion of the days session, but.before
sentence was passed Mr.. Keefe, the proba-
tion officer, was asked 10 tell what he
knew about her He produced long
record, in which il was shown that she had
been convicted eight times in the past
three years, and that she had served six
terms in the house Of correction, all for
the same offensc, drunkenness.
When asked if she had anything to say
before sentence was pronounced, she pro-
cecded to make one of the best pleas in
her own defense that the court had ever
listened TO.
His honor busy over the papers i'm the
case first looked up in surprise, then as
she went on his surprise changed to in

il was apparent that her words had
borne no little weight with both himself
and the assistant district attorney.

words of woman with such "A record as

1T has been the same ever since. Just

place again, might as well give up all
hope and die now.

replied that she had, and she knew that
