Concueraa nv n Daby,


The birth of q son to the Duchess OF
Aosta, it is said. was great shock to
the Princess of Naples, which has In
creased her very natural grief at her
own childlessness. Prince Amedeo,
who by virtue of this childlessness Is
now in succession to the throne, is
small. fair haired baby Of about
year, with more than the ordinary
amount of babyish winning ways.
One day the princess met the little
chap In a corridor In his nurses arms.
She would have avoided him as usual,
but as she passed, with averted head,
he suddenly held out his fat. dilnpled
arms, and on the impulse of the mo-
ment che took him ssom the nurse.
while her eyes filled with tears. The
little fellow laid his lips on each OF
her lids. stroking her cheeks with both
hands. She gave Il sob and has ever
since been his most devoted slave.

TO RESIST EARTHQUAKES.
An American Designed Palace For
Japnn's Crown Prince.

Jnpan'R Crown fr1nce.
The building plan Of the earthquake
proof palace for the crown prince Of
Japan shows that the Japanese archi-
tccts have finally given over their ideas
in favor of those which were first Illus
trnted here Formerly the Japanese be-
lieycd that the lighter the fabric Of the
building the more easily 1t would ride
the ground swell Of Il tremblor, and
they stuck to the engaging fantasy. de-
spite PROSTATE bamboo walls and fall
ing tiles. for many years after better
methods had been demonstrated. AT
one time there was disposition to
adopt Professor Mines advice and rest
all structures on cannon balls deposit
ed in socket in stone foundations. the
Idea being that the balls would move
under the shock Of the earthquake and
relieve the strain upon the house. But
the advice never became popular, and
now the japanese have come 10 the
point, In their most significant build
Ing, Of depending upon the cagelike
structure Of steel, Of which The Chron-
icle edifice was the earliest type In this
city.
The palace will not, Of course, be
high and narrow like the modern office
building, and will not need much Of the
inthrust which gives such structures
their peculiar shape. But the principle
Of knitting the whole mass together.
not only with sides and floor and roof
supports Of structural steel. but with
longitudinal and horizontal braces of
the same material. has been chosen,
and as result the young crown prince
will have the safest residence In Ills
earthquake smitten empire. II Is be-
lIeyed that building like this will
withstand any seismic CONFUSION
which is not accompanied by q subsi.
dence Of the earth. In that respect the
new palace may have as lucky his
tory as Japan's ancient bronze idol
Daibutsu. which has passed through
innumerable earthquakes, and has
twice had lts wooden temple swept
from over Its head by tidal waves, and
yet, owing to Its great weight and So
lidity. has come through the expert
ences undisturbed. = San Francisco

The Supreme Court Gives a Heavy
Blow to EulldoZers.

Below we publish the comments OF
the Times Democrat on q recent
decision rendered by the Supreme
Court, which should be the cause
OF breaking up the practice of bull
doing so common in parts of our
State. and will make those who are
80 quick to join in this kind OF I'M
lawful conduct more careful in the
future. The Times-Democrat says:
The Louisiana supreme court
struck heavy blow yesterday at
bulldozers and other lawless ele-
ments who amuse themselves by
soaring and driving negro labor from
plantations. These White Caps and
marauders have caused great loss
in Louisiana and other Southern
States.
The case before the supreme court
came from East Feliciana, where
party of bulldozers, some of them
from the neighboring State of Mis-
sissippi, invaded the Riverside plan
ta,ion of Judge w. +. Herman and
committed such unprovoked violence
on the negroes as to drive many OF
them from tue plantation, cut down
the crops and caused the owner of the
place material loss. There was no
complaint as to the negro labor on
the plantation, no talk of any lido
ing on their part, no politics OF any
kind in the affair. The men who
caused this disturbance did so with
out the least pretense of excuse,
merely "for the fun of the thing"
The court was very outspoken as to
the lawlessness. "The conduct of
the Defendants it says, was, to
characterize it mildly, simply outra-
geous and unjustiliabie.'' And the
court proceeds to assess heavy dam
ages against them. 1t was not salts
fled with the damages given in the
lower court, but added to them, and
gave the plaintiff a verdict against
the defendants in soldo. A few
judgements like these, making the
bulldozers pay for their fun in run
ming off labor and destroying the
value of plantations, will have very
discouraging effect on them.

The hustling city of Shreveport
never stops at anything whenever the
citizens of that place make up their
minds that they are going to have
a new railroad TO enter the city, 10
build a compress, or anything else that
is going to help to increase their bus
mess and population. and they don't
care how many times they vote a o.
mill tax to do it. The latest thing
for them to do is the organization of
a Cotton Mill Co., capitalized at
Sl0O. 900, and inside of two weeks
the promoters had $4,000 in cash of
the amount subscribed. Shreveport
is going to have the mills, and
Shreveport is going to continue 10
grow, for the reason that sue is alive
