SKATING IN HOLLAND,
Rivers Present Quaint and Picturesque
Sight in Winter

From Harpers Weekly
In Holland a winter seldom passes
without good skating, which. being not
only a pastime with the Dutch, but a
serious and ordinary mode of travel.
the ice on the canals and "grachts' is
kept in good condition and il is common
to see small army of sweeping peas
ants putting the ice in order for the
day. There is 4 skating club in every
town in Holland, and all these clubs
belong to the Dutch Skating associa-
ton. The largest clubs are probably
the Amsterdam and Rotterdam Ice
clubs, and in the season many eXcur-
sluns are made by these associations to
the neighhoring towns-for example
from Amsterdam to Leyden via NOgal-
enzang and Harlem; from Amsterdam

over long stretches upon his skates
than the Englishman, because of his
extra long runners. II is a charming
sight to see the long string of skaters

one OF the flight and dip of the swal-
lows. Sometimes too they use a sort of
sail, with which, by clever handling,
they can make Roadway close up To the

IN VIOLATION OF LAM
Butte Architects May Ask for an
Injunction.
STATE CAPITOL BUILDING
A Suspicion That Bids VIII Be Con

Competition Limited to the
State OF Montana.

Butte architects are much worked UT
over the suspicion that competition. for
the capitol building ut Helena is nof 10

as was the evident intention of the bill
passed by the legislature a year ago.
The bill it passed the legisla ture
called for plans for a capitol building,
the cost of which should not exceed $500,
900. architects being required to give d
bond of $50. 900. The bill provided further
that the architect, assistant architect.
contractor and superintendent of con-
struction must all be citizens of Montana
Early in January Butte architects re-
cefved from the capitol commission spec
ifications and drawings from which they
were invited to make a plan for the capt.
toll building in the competition. The local
architects naturally supposed that only
Montana architects would compete in the
plans, but now ii seems that the competi-
ton is open to the architects of the on
tire country. 1t was recently learned that
copies of the specifications sent to Mon
tana architects were also sent to Eastern
architects and were published in Eastern
architectural magazines with the COM
ment that architects generally were in
vited to submit plans.
Butte architects do not like this a biz
They consider that the law will be VIC
lated If plans and drawings from archi-
tects outside of Montana are accepted,
or even considered, by the capitol COM
mission. In order, however. not to act too
hastily in the matter, Il Butte architect
wrote l few days ago to Governor r. Il.
Smith. stating the substance of the capt.
tol building bill, with the provision limit
ing the competition to Montana archi-
tects, and the suspicion which exists in
Butte that outside competition has been
invited. The following answer was re-
ceived Saturday from the secretary of the
board:
Replying to your favor of Jan. 81, rela-
tive to architects outside of the state
being asked to submit bids for plans and
specifications in accordance with the cir
cular of jan 5. / beg To say that the com
mission was aware of the proviso men
toned, but did not consider that IL bound
them to consult only Montana architects

This letter is unsatisfactory to Butte
architects, and one of them said yester-
day:
THE law very plainly limits the COM
petition to Montana architects which is
proper, inasmHch as the capitol Is 10 lee
the state building and should represent
Montana genius. But whether proper or
not. the law is there and | do not see
how the commission can ignore it. They
certainly lay themselves liable to injunc-
tion proceedings, and IL outside bids are
received ! am inclined 10 believe that
steps will be taken To enjoin them from
considering such bids. Several Butte
architects are preparing 10 put in bids.

WOMEN ON A BARGAIN DAY.
Marvellous Change In Conduct when
They Are shopping.

1t has been asserted by a modern au-
thor that il we really wish to know "a
woman we must marry her. This
means of solving a great question does
not appeal TO every man, so an employe
in one of the large department stores
has offered an easier solution of the
problem. He says if you are anxious to
understand a woman's true nature OBJ
serve her conduct at a bargain counter
He gives this as the reason why SO
many statesmen prefer To remain i'm the
single blessedness OF bacielorhood.
This rather extraordinary statement
seems to be well founded. Facts OBJ
tanned in several big dry goods houses
would indicate that the men who have
served behind the counter are of one
mind upon this subject. 1t is said that
"a woman's identity undergoes COM
plete change when she steps into a dry
goods store, while on the street or in
any place where she is ION parade" be-
fore her friends, a woman is the genteel
and kind-hearted being that appeals to
all men, but once she makes her way up
10 the bargain counter she becomes an
other person. For the moment she is "A
bargain fiend, exacting and suspicious.
and not at all regardful of
the rights and feelings of others. Her
meanest whims and ways come To the
front. She pushes and crowds her fell
low bargain seekers She handles roll
after roll of dress goods and has the
clerk climb up or dig down after a GER
tain shade or quality of goods, and
and without a blush 'tgnesses she can
mot find the proper material here" She
goes on to the next counter leaving the
obliging clerk gasping and forming un-
favorable opinions of her sex. Store

after several hours of "rummaging" the
self-contented Miss Bargain goes home

II George X. Van Horn is to be hung
the event will be a thing of the distant
future. The condemned mans attor-
neys, l.. z. Wedeman and +. w. Thay-
er, have hit upon new possibility OF
saving or at the least prolonging his
life.
At present Van Horn is in the county
Jail under sentence of death, with a
rule for a new trial pending before the
supreme court 1t Is not improbable
that the lower court will be reversed,
but IL 1t isn't and the sentence Is or
dered to stand the attorneys will spring
their new move.
This latter is nothing less than an
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States. The attorneys claim
they can show that Van Horn, in his
trial, suffered an infringement of the
rights guaranteed by the federal con-
stitution.
The constitution DEGREES that no man
shall be deprived of his life, liberty or
property without due process of law
The due process of law, it Is con-
tended was not observed when court
permitted the jury to view the scene
of the killing during the absence
of the accused. Van Horn, 1t will be
remembered, was not taken along, and
neither he nor his counsel could waive
the right to be confronted by all wit
nesses against him, 1t Is held that the
mandate of the constitution was not
needed by court and consequently Var
Horn was convicted by undue process
of law.
If the supreme court will not accept
the defendants contention that the
premises were mute witnesses-helpint
as they did to tell the story of the
affair as much as any man who wen
into the box-then it will be argued
that the law by implication says thai
the accused shall be present at every
stage of the trial and will seek will
this contention to save Van Horn from
the gallows.

HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPE.

Mrs. William LutZ, wife of n tea

from, at least serious injury and possi-
bly, from death in collision with a
team of horses at the corner of WASH

terday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lutz We're on bicycles
and riding down the avenue. At the
Linden street corner a large steam
roller had crossed the street and was
bound north on the east side of the
avenue. To avoid it Mr.. and Mrs.
Lutz kept to the west side of the thor
oughfare. At the corner a team going
east on Linden street turned into the
avenue, just as Mrs. Lutz reached the
spot.
The wagon pole struck her on the
right cheek. Her bicycle went clear of
the horses, but she fell beneath them.
They pranced above and about her as
she lay on the pavement, but the
driver soon succeeded in refining them
back and to one side. Her husband
and pedestrians assisted Mrs. Lutz into
Williams candy store.
1t was found that the only injury
other than a bruised cheek which
was struck by the pole, was a bruised
right leg. One of the horses had evil

The driver of the team paused only
long enough to see that the woman
was not dangerously hurt and then
whipped up his team and disappeared
up Linden street.

HORSE WAS KILLED.
Max Feibos Owner and Driver Had
Very Narrow Escape His
Injuries Not Serious.

The freight train in charge of En-
gineer ODonnell, leaving the Lacka-
wanna avenue depot of the Central
railroad at o'clock yesterday after
noon, struck a horse attached to a
wagon driven by Max Feibos, at the
Broadway crossing at Bellevue. The
animal was killed instantly, the wagon
demolished and Feibos severely in
jured.
He was removed to his home in the
rear Of sic South Washington avenue.
DR.. Halpert was sent for. Upon ex-
animation he found that Feibos' back
was badly wrenched and otherwise
bruised. Operator Ludgate at the
Broadway station, stated to Tribune
reporter that Feibos drove down the
street as he began to lower the gates.
The whip was applied to the horse,
Feibos attempting to get across the
tracks before the gates got down.
When he reached the westerly track,
the one the freight train was ap-
preaching on, the gates We're on the
wagon. He hurriedly raised the gate
a few feet, shouting to Feibos to back
his horse. The attempts of the driver
were unavailing, the horse refusing to
move. AS the train came around the
curve at that point, Ludgate says he
shouted to ITeibos to jump from the
wagon, but he too remained on the
track.
The engine struck the horse at the
shoulder. The force of the collision
upset the wagon, Feibos falling heav-
lily to the ground.
The statement made to the reporter
by Feibos was that when he reached
tn. railroad, the gates were down to
allow a switch engine to pass. The
gateman raised them a few feet and
he began to drive across. In an in
slant the gates We're again lowered
but it was too late for him to back his
horse,

DIESEL HoT-AIR MOTOR.
Effort to Have It Manufactured in
This City.

The Dickson Manufacturing company
and individual Scranton men have been
approached with view to having a
new type of motor manufactured In
this city. 1t is the Diesel motor, which
is controlled by the Diesel Motor COM
pany of America. The companys Of
fees are at No. II Broadway, New
York city. Adolphus Busch is presi-
dent, Hugo Reisinger, secretary and
treasurer, and Z. d. Meier, engineer
in-chief of the company. Not much
encouragement has been given for
manufacture in this city.
Hot air furnishes the motive power
for the motor. 1t is constructed en-
tirely on lines indicated by the gen.
orally accepted laws of modern ther-
modynamics, but contains novel appli-
cations of those laws which secure, it
is claimed, advantages in economy and
efficiency of extreme Importance. So
small Diesel motor as twenty-horse-
power runs at higher economy than
a triple expansion steam engine of ] ,00C
horsepower. This fact, it is said, in
dicates many uses in which the motor
will at once supplant steam engines.
