LIVING IN CITIES.
Tho Apartment House Is breaking Up
American Homes.


/ have no mind to harrow up the
minds Of my readers with any explica.
ton of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance Of simple but com.
Portable existence for her family. As for
herself, an existence at all seems a
struggle which at times she would glad
II give over. One might define hero
/, as the average American woman
sbo does her own housekeeping. But
some hint OF the unnatural and unhappy
state Of affairs existing at present may
be deduced from the consideration Of
two economic facts.
First, woman is by nature home
founder and a homemaker. This is not
intended as an assertion Of personal be-
lief but as statement Of scientific fact.
1t was woman-not man-who opened
the industrial world. 1t was woman
who made the first rude dwellings and
dressed skins and wove textiles for
clothing. 1t was woman and not man
who made the first fire and the first
utensils for cooking and the first rude
tools for industrial ends. All her activi-
ties clustered about the hearth and min
istered to the home. If the woman and
the work had not reacted upon each 9th
er so that today women should be by
nature homemakers and home lovers,
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in the working of heredity and
of natural selection.
And yet-here is my second fact-the
enormous piles Of stone and brick rapid
ly filing the choice plots Of ground in
our large cities and shutting out the
light of heaven with their gabled tops
are mute if not magnificent witnesses to
the fact that the investment Of capital
Is all against the perpetuation Of the
separate home. The shrewd modern in
weston is willing to put hundreds Of
thousands against hundreds Of dollars
that (for his lifetime at least) women
are going to prefer the ease of the apart
ment hotel to the separate house with
its privacy, its own table, and-alas-
| Its own service. - Helen Watterson

ut q beautiful export city, and di
rectly depositing its freight on board
the largest merchant vessels OF the
world in a land locked harbor OF
fresh water. The canal, which is
already dredged to the depth OF III
feet for over three miles, will...be a
bout 81 miles long when completed
from Port Arthur to the government
ietties in Sabine Pdss-and ~ feet
deep the entire length. Its width Is
1873 feet at the top only five feet less
than the great Suez CanaD and 20
feet at the bottom. At the inland
terminus slips are being constructed
at the same time for the accommoda-
ton of vessels while loading. The
company is confident OF having the
canal completed TO the contracted
depth by Jan. |, 1899. The canal
slips and large dry .dock, which
is also under contract, will cost about
S2.5OO0oO. At the same time the
government is spending over Sl,Ooo'-
OOO. The expenditure Of this amount
of money at Port Arthur is sufficient
assurance that its founders have
faith in the enterprise themselves,
and they are in earnest when they
say it is Z -etined in the near future
to be the greatest export city on the
Gulf Of Mexico.

An Apparently Clear Case Against

Justice of the PEACE and Undertaken A.
NJ. Guidinger Of Santa Monica may get q
taste Of Justice as he has administered It
by the sea during his incumbency of office,
but It will be from one Of the police judges
that he will take his medicine II any is to
be administered. Justice Guidinger Is
charged with having violated a city ordi-
nance by removing dead body out Of the
city without having secured the necessary
permit from the health authorities. The
trouble arose over the disposition Of the
remains of Charles 6coville, one Of the
of the White Wings saloon,
who committed suicide Sunday by taking
morphine.
The body was taken to the undertaking

niger put In an appearance and demanded
the body. He was asked for his permit
from the health authorities to remove the
body from the city, but as that was his
own business, the remains were turned
over to him and he removed them to Santa
Monica, where they were duly inferred.
When the death certificate was turned into
the health Office and the authorities
learned that no permit had been obtained
by 0uidinger to remove the body. Chief
Deputy Reed swore to complaint against
the Sad Sea Wave justice. The warrant
was placed in the hands Of Constable John

THE KNEISEL QUARTET


The celebrated quartet from the Boston
Symphony orchestra gave another taste Of
their splendid quality at the Simpson audi
torium last night, and it is satisfactory to
record that the audience was considerably
larger than on the previous evening.
Knelsel and his three comrades have given
us a couple of musical treats that will long
be treasured in the memories of those who
can appreciate the greatest art. Fully
conscious of the utter inadequacy Of words
to depict the delight with which one listens
to these great artists, one feels apologize
in attempting to review their work. Sub
lime skill is welded to the most earnest ex-
preston, and the result Is an inspiration for
the audience. atl
The program last night opened with
Grieg's quartet in G minor. a most inter-
esting work Of the modern school. DR..
Griegs music is admitted to be eccentric,
but even his most bizarre moments are
profoundly interesting and attractive. The
opening and final movements of this quar-
tet are weird and occasionally almost dis
traught, seeming to portray the furious
struggle Of elements, but exquisite passages
intervene that speak of refreshing peace.
Grieg Is a student Of nature. and loves to
translate into his music impressions Of the
great controlling force. The Kneisel Quar-
tet gave the work a superb Interpretation.
Schuberts Death and the Maiden"
from the quartet In d major, was next
given. The intense feeling and pathos of
the number was beautifully brought out,
the diminuendo passages producing a simply
wonderful effect. The attention Of the au-
dience was so close and the silence SO intense
that one could certainly have heard the
proverbal pin drop. The quartet was re-
called again and again, and finally con-
sented to break its usual rule by grant
ing an encore number. They played with
muted strings Tschaikowsky's "Andante
Cantabile," and gave It the most exquisite
interpretation. Here again the nuances
were simply marvellous. 1t was practically
a solo for Mr.. Kneisel, but the accompani-
ment was masterpiece Of expressive SYM
pathy.
The program concluded with Schuman's
quartet in A major, perhaps the least
attractive selection that Mr.. Kneisel gave
US, but it was most brilliantly rendered.
To Mr.. J. T. Fitzgerald is due 4 consid-
cradle need Of praise for his enterprise ir
undertaking the arrangement Of these con.
certs. 1t was somewhat Of a risk, for such
talent is expensive, but the result has hap
PLY been entirely satisfactory. Next week
Mr.. Fitzgerald has arranged another great
musical event, the appearance In three con-
certs on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
and Thursday matinee Of the prince OF
violinists, Ysaye. the greatest Of young
'cellists. Gerardy; and the master Of the
piano, Lachaume. Ysaye is already well
known here, for his visit three years ago is
still delightful memory to many Of US, and
it is safe to predict a triumphant reception
for these three great artists.

STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED
of{lcer Talamantes Arrested the Boy
Who Stole It

Officer Talamantes is the champion
horsethief takei Of the force and yester-
day succeeded in adding another arrest for
this crime to his credit.
On Monday Jose Salazar Of Ivanhoe re-
ported to the police that horse had been
stolen from his pasture on the 18th. Oni-
Ger Talamantes was detailed ON the case,
and succeeded in locating the stolen horse
In the possession of Peter Lockridge, q
l-year-old boy. who was riding the ami
NAL on Temple street at the time. The boy
at first denied that he had stolen the horse,
but afterwards confessed and admitted
that he had seen 1t tethered in pasture at
Ivanhoe and ridden 1t away. The boy has
given his mother much trouble, and he may
be sent to Whittier. The recovery of Sal
axar's horse makes the second stolen ami
NAL that Talamantes has got within a
week, and within the last month he sue
c4eded in recovering two cows which were
reported to the police as stolen.
