MARBLE PALACES OF ITALY.
Lecture by Cass Gilbert on the Old
Masters of Architecture.

Lecture by Cass Gilbert on the Old
Masters of Architecture.
An audience of nearly four hundred gath
cred at the high school building yesterday
afternoon to listen to the third of the series
of high school lectures. Mr.. Cass Gilbert was
the lecturer, and his subject was Marble
Architecture in Italy, After an introduction
by Miss Sarah c. Brooks Mr.. Gilbert
plunged at once into an exceedingly inter-
esting description of the architecture of
Italy from an early period down to the pres
ent. He was assisted by some very fine
stereopticon views.
Mr.. Gilbert spoke of marble as used
structurally and decoratively how, while
many of the palaces and public buildings in
Venice, Florence and Rome were built of
marble. it was not recognized as an essen
tial, and many of the finer buildings were of
brick, stucco and the commonest and rough
est kind of stone, although marble entered
into their structure in the form of trim
mings. columns and panels Marble from
Numidia. Constantinople and the Orient had
always been used in Rome in it's architecture.
That 1t was used in several different ways,
structurally, ornamentally and in conjunction
with inferior material to emphasize the dec
orations.
Mr.. Gilbert dwelt at considerable length
upon the cathedral of Milan, the most beau
tiful in all Europe, and the Library tower
and ducal palace of San Marco; of the yari-
Gus KINDS OF architecture, the Renaissance,
Gothic and Byzantine
In the opinion of the speaker, the Byzan-
tine was the most remarkable and most last
Ing, and those who wrought In marble. the
early architects of Italy, knew more of the
use Of marble and its decorative uses and
purposes than the modern schools of ar
chitecture, of which Ferguson is an expon

Bert Dunham Must Serve Two Years

Bert Durham Must Serve Two Years
at saltwater.
Amos E. Durham indicted under the name
OF Bert Durham, three charges of forg-
cry in the second degree, appeared before
Judge Kelly in district court yesterday and
changed his pleao-from not guilty to guilty
on one of the counts. He was sentenced to
TWO years and six months in the state penl,
Tertiary.
Durham, it appeared from the statement
made by his attorney to the court has been
working steadily in the railroad business for
hfteen years. The. loss of his position as con
ductor led him into evil company. by whom
he was induced to drink and gamble II was
during one of these sprees when rendered
desperate by the loss of the last money he
mad, that Durham was led to commit the
crime which caused his arrest
Inc attorney made strong plea for Glenn
ency on behalf of the wife and 15-mopths- old
baby OF the prisoner, who were in the court
room The littlesione was playing with her
rather when thes sentence was being pro.
nounced ~
Both Durham and his wife burst into tear>
when they realized the full meaning of the
sentence, and the spectators in the court ,oom
were much affected
The specific charge to which Durham
PLEADED guilty was the forgery of the name
OF g. f. Ritter to a check for S16 drawn
on the Second National bank and which
was passed at the saloon Of MI O'Conuor.

GEN. POPE TO TRY TO STOP 1T
BANK EXAMINER DECIDES TO END
PRACTICE OF ABATEMENT
BOARDS
The Releasing of Delinquent Tax
payers From the Penalties and
Interest Which Accrue without
Reporting to the Auditor.

Bank Examiner Pope will take some
action before the legislature adjourns
to stop the practice of county boards
OF abatement In abating interest and
penalties accruing on delinquent taxes.
The matter was one which first came
to the attention to Mr.. Kenyon as
bank examiner, but nothing was ever
done to remedy the evil. Mr.. Pope
WILL If the proposed tax commission
is sanctioned by the legislature, lay
the matter before the commission. If
not, he will take the mater up before
the Legislature and ask for some cur
ative legislation.
There is nothing which authorizes
the county boards to abate penalties
on delinquent taxes, yet it has been
found by the deputy examiners in
their inspections of county offices
throughout the state that the practice
has been quite general. The action of
these boards in releasing taxpayers
from the payment of penalties upon
delinquent taxes has apparently been
upon their own responsibility, without
notifying the state auditor and with
out reporting the matter to that Of
ficlal. The law permits county boards
to correct any errors made in fixing
valuations, but in doing so the matter
must be reported to the state auditor
for approval just the same as in the
case Of abatement Of taxes.
According to the provisions Of chap
ter "a laws Of 1897 regulating the as
sessment and collection of taxes, Mr..
Pope doubts if any officer or set of Of
ficers have the right to abate penalties
on delinquent taxes.
In many cases it has been found
that penalties on delinquent taxes We're
abated in large blocks with the I'M
Outstanding that the taxes would be
paid. The 10 per cent penalty which
is attached to the non-payment Of
taxes is imposed by law as a punish
ment for neglect, and there is no au-
thority, except that vested through
the legislature, that can put them
aside, and there appears to be nothing
in the above section which would au-
thorize the county boards to take such
action.
Bank Examiner Pope does not regard
the matter as an arbitrary attitude on
the part of the local boards, but rather
a misconstruction of the law.

DR.. HOWARD.
Tells His Experience with Coffee.

I am pleased to add my help to your
campaign of instruction on the sub
ject of coffee drinking. For ten or
twelve years I have been a severe suf
ferer from that cause.
I gradually abandoned everything
from time to time that I thought pro-
duced the extreme nervousness from
which I suffered, and all of my very
frequent calls on my fellow physicians
resulted in no benefit until I was ad-
vised to do without coffee.
My condition at that time was such
that I was certain that 1 had heart
disease in one Of it's worse forms.
Many night I have retired not ex-
pect1ng to live to see morning. The
action was so feeble and slow that it
would run as slow as 3S to 40, and new
er so, unless I was taking severe exer-
else or using some stimulant
My experience in examining patients
who presented themselves for opera
lions under an anaesthetic, led me to
continually compare my condition
with theirs, and life was made very
miserable for me by such compari-
sons.
I also suffered from a constant mus
cular contraction of the f1eshy portion
Of the left hand, a technical descrip-
ton of which I will not undertake In
this letter, but I could not get rid of
the trouble.
These conditions, with constantly
sour stomach, a feeling Of extreme
faintness about an hour before regu-
lar meal time, and sallow complex
lon give you a general idea of the
shape l was in just before 1 discon-
tinued the use Of coffee. 1t was very
hard to give up coffee, but was COM
PEELED to do so, and for a while used
water and milk. Then I tried a So
called cereal coffee, which I have since
learned is made partly of coffee and
partly Of Drowned grains, and Is sold
as an imitation Of your Postum. This
did not work, 30 I went back to the
water and milk until about year ago
1 got hold of Postum-the genuine.
Since then I have had one cup and
sometimes two every morning, and
frequently for dinner at night. NV
health was never better than it is now.
no nervousness nor muscular contrac-
ton, no heart trouble or sour stom-
ach, and the pulse running from 70 to
76.
At the time was suffering from the
effects OF coffee, I made application
for some life insurance, and was re-
jected on account Of the action Of nv
heart. To show what the abstinence
of coffee and the drinking of Postum
will do, and has done for me, 1 will
say that In March last was examined
for life insurance and passed a most
excellent examination. Having gone
through the very disagreeable exper-
fence and been relieved from the trou-
hi 4 10 h11f of
a willingness to assist you all I can in
your work, for do not believe one
person In ten has realizing sense Of
the damage to the nervous system
caused by the consumption of coffee
