 En passant, Southworth has suc- ceeded in floating his Sinaloa Ilus- trado. St. Lonls and San Francisco advertisers have been bled to give the thing the necessary expense and pay for Southworth's time.

The parlor, sitting room and dining room, connected by sliding doors, can be thrown at will into single large apartment, extending the full length of the building. The dining room opens into the pantry, which is fitted with numerous shelves, drawers, kneading boards, etc., which make the delft housewife's work easy, with the fewest possible steps. Crossing the pantry a well appointed kitchen is entered, which has also an entrance, across the back hall, from the sitting room, and an exit to the rear of the building. Across the main hall from the parlor are two commodions cham. bers, each with large closet, and be- tween those apartments and the kitchen, across the back hall from the sitting room, is luxurious and well appointed bath room.

1t seems that Great Britain and the
United States refused TO concur In the
prohibition of the dumdum bullet SO
neither country is bound by the decision
of the conference on that subject. The
dumdum bullet expands whom 1t enters
the body and thereby adds greatly 20 the
seriousness of the wound, and its use was
prohibited for humane reasons. England
practically pledged herself to use 1t on
none except savages, while the United
States objection to adhesion to the prohi-
bition was that it might retard the de-
velopment of Inventive genius in warfare.
1t would have been much more creditable
to both nations, it seems to us, If they
had joined with the others In prohibiting
the use OF this bullet. 1t is not desirable
that inventive genius should tie enco1r-
aged along the lii g of making war NOR e
cruel than 1t Is.
