selected. but the Legislature did not
move there until two years later.
The commission appointed TO erect
capitol offered prizes of S4OO and 500
for plans. Stephen Hills of Boston, was
the successful architect and erected the

purest specimens of colonial archltec-
ture in the country. Hills also design
ed the State capitols at Indianapolis and
jefferson City. Mo, and they are almost
copies Of that destroyed, Tuesday. The
original cost of the main building was
$l35. 600 1t stood practically unchang-
ed until 1866, when an addition, until
recently used for a State library and un-
til the fire for committee purposes, was
erected at the north side at a cost OF
$50, 000 In 1874 the doubling Of the
House membership caused an enlarge
of the House wing. costing 914, 600 Two
years ago 1925. 600 was spent in exten-
sive improvements mainly on the House
side. The result was not satisfactory,
and last year S70, 900 more was spent, the
work being not yet completed when the
fire destroyed the building.
Seventy-one regular and special ses-
sions Of the Legislature have met in this
capitol and Il Governors have sent their

stormy Senatorial elections wherein

the duty of the county under the act of
( 1e43 TO keep in repair county bridges OF
! record.
This accident. as the jury has found.
was q consequence of insufficient guard
rails ON the wing walls of the approach
or embankment 20 the bridge. and 1t Is
argued by appellee, these formed no
part of the bridge, but We're part OF
the roadway. therefore, 1t Is still the
duty of the township 10 maintain ana
repair them. This was the view taken
by the court below in Penn township
W Perry county. - Pa, 451 But this
court reversed the judgment saying:
How can a bridge be said to be com
pleted without the proper means OF ac-
cess? The bridge is incomplete
until everything Necessary for its prop
er use has been supplied, and every
such necessary appliance Is part of the
bridge When, therefore, the act OF
Assembly directed the counties OF
Dauphin and Perry to build the bridge
over the Juniata it meant that these
two counties without the aid of the
townships. should provide safe and
convenient passage OF highway over
that river and not merely that they
should set up a structure which the pub
lie could not reach The question hay
ing thus been pointedly decided IS no
longer open for argument.
There was evidence showing that at
times the township did work on the ap-
proaches to the bridge. therefore it Is
argued it assumed the duty of repair
ing the wing walls. with all the conse-
ouences resulting from neglect. The
conclusion does not follow from the
fact. 1t was the duty of the county to
build this bridge of which the wing
walls were q part and keep both in re
pair this was duty imposed by stat
ute: no duty was by law thereafter on
the township in the matter; the super
visiors could nos without express statu-
| tory authority. assume the duty OF an
other territorial subdivision Of the state
and thereby impose liability for neglect
| Of that duty ON the township. They
| Were elected to supervise and keep IN
| repair the roads. highways and bridges
| Of the township only 10 the extent the
| law imposed that burden on the town
ship: to this extent and no further was
| the township auswerable for their neg
| lect. In whatever work they did on
| this bridge thew must be regarded as
| mere agents Of the county, whose duty
| it was to DO the work Ii they had un-
dertakeu to repair the embankment OF
a railroad through the township and
| had neglieently performed the work,
| the township would not nave been ans
werable. because the officer was wholly
outside the scope of his duty.
| We are of opinion the learned judge
was in error in not unqualiiiedly affirm
ing defendants fourth point and in not
| directing a verdict for defendant, there
| fore the Judgment is reversed.

1t is said that Lord Salisbury influenced, first

ments Baron Rothschild is said to have gone to Sails

ton has been gathering for forty years an comes

WOMEN AND MONEY MATTER.

1t has often been noted that women more hon
orabe in money matters than men, and that it is far
less rare not to have small loan paid back by a
woman than by This fact, again, appears to
to be fully explained by the trustee theory of
womans attitude toward money Women not
honester in other things than men, but the notion of
money being trust overrides and dominates other
considerations The who borro VS. is very apt to
forget all about the matter. The who borrows
feels that double trust with the ney and she
cannot rest she has repaid it. No doubt there
here also many exceptions because there many
bad women, but least it is safe to say that
far less careless about money matters than men,
and therefore less likely to commit the small acts of
pee unary observation-disclosures which come from negli-
gence. Take it a whole, women more careful
about money matters than men, and attach more I'M
portance to money; hence it happens that they
make great fortunes seldom go bankrupt, and gener
ally rather more scrupuous than men in small
pecunarv transactions. Spectator
