MODERN ARCHITECTURE.
Happily characterized by Simplicity and
Good Taste.

(coPYRIGHT. 1896!
One of the greatest faults in Ameri-
can architecture, although happily it is
more to be noticed in the buildings of
a past generation than those of the pres
ent, is too profuse use of ornamental
ton. 1t bespoke low state of public
taste. The most glaring instances Of
this fault are to be seen in the houses
that were erected in the late eos and
early '7Os, with the French roofs, their
hideous and obtrusive iron windows
stills and their gingerbread work every
where. Even buildings put up for
business purposes felt the effect of

CHINESE JEWELLERS.
All of the Work Is Done by Handsome
of 1t Is beautiful.

of 1t Is Beautiful.
There are two jewellers in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not re-
semble the ordinary places known as
jewelry shops, says the New York
Times. The Chinese jeweler is man.
ufacturer as we'll as shopkeeper. His
establishment is a tiny room up one
or two flights of stairs. The room in
one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and coun-
ter near the window, where the jeweler
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
over a tiny fire in the window. All his
work is done by hand, and some of it is
beautiful. There are heavy silver
bracelets which open with a hinge
and fasten with an odd little staple.
The fine raised pattern is cut out, every
bit of it, by hand. There are gold rings
made in the same way. There are fine
rings, made of 24-carat gold. Almost
nothing is kept in stock. There may
chance to be few rings and bracelets,
which are taken from small safe.
Most of the goods are made to order.
When the manufacturer is asked the
price of a ring he weighs it before he
answers. His scales consist of a slen-
der stick of ivory, perhaps third Of a
yard long, covered with Chinese char
acters. At one end is small brass plate
suspended from the stick by fine
threads and a very small weight, also
hanging by a thread, is moved along to
the balancing point by the jeweler as
he holds the little machine in his hand.
The front part of the little shop is filed
with a stove, table, dishpan, dishes
a. many things as can well be crowded
into it.

Plans of Prominent Women to Re-

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE oft-agi-
tated question of establishing in the
city of Washington great national
university on the lines suggested by
President Washington at last has taken
more definite form than in the past and
number of representative American
women have taken hold of The project
with determination to push it to sue
cessful conclusion if possible. They
have started out in practical manner
by seeking TO raise the first S25O.000
necessary for the erection OF an admin
istration building to form the nucleus
of the university and hope to be able to
lay the corner stone on February %,
1890. Their purpose in the interim is to
urge the matter continuously on the at
tention of women all over the country.
They intend likewise to interest all the
school children in the work AS first
step for awakening interest in the un-
dertaking they will assemble in conven-
ton in Washington on December IA to

HE FACES THE MUSIC.
President Weathers, of Defunct
Indiana Banks, Appears.
he CONFERS WITH HIS CREDITORS.
Makes a Statement Of His Connection
with the Troubles, Which Has q
Renssuring EHect-NillinE to
Give Up All to Pay Losses.

Corydon, Ind, Nov. 17.-Committees
representing the depositors of the de-
funct banks at Leayenworth, Marengo
and English met John II. Weathers,
president of the bank, here Tuesday
and held conference. r. C. Arnold, of
Leavenworth, was appointed receiver
and an investigation will begin at once.
Mr.. Weathers agreed to turn over all
his property, worth several thousand
dollars, to make good the loss as far as
possible and to devote his entire time
for one year in making collections in
the interest of depositors.
Mr.. Weathers stands very high in his
own and adjoining counties and has
large law practice. Not single man of
the different committees had word of
censure for Mr.. Weathers after he made
his statement to them. Mr.. Weathers
stated to the committees that his wife
would make an assignment of all her
present property, which is considerable,
and that even his splendid home at Eng
lish would be included. The commit
tees accepted the presidents statement
as true and elected Mr.. Arnold as his
assignee without dissenting vote.
The people of the various commune
ties in which the banks are situated are
very much relieved and express conf
dence in Mr.. Weathers' ability to settle
up matters in a satisfactory manner.
The consensus of opinion is that Mr..
Weathers was the victim of Cashier
Willett and is himself innocent of any
wrong-doing. Nothing has been heard
from Willett since last Wednesday
morning. Telegraphic advices from
English, Ind, are to the effect that Will
ett's kinfolk are willing to unite with
his grandmother to donate sufficient
funds to cover his shortage provided
he proves himself not guilty of any in
territorial wrong-doing and will return.
His grandmother will donate $4,000
and other relatives have pledged them
selves for $4,000 additional. Cashier
RothroclS, of the Huntingburg bank. it
is said, has pledged himself to stand
| by both Weathers and Willett.
