A MODEL LODGING HOUSE.
City Of Glasgow Has eeeh in the Hotel
Business Thirty Years.

1t is now about 90 years since the
city of Glasgow went into the lodging
house business. In the very heart of
the city there had been built up
densely populated system of closes"
and "wynds," which were a continual
menace to public health. Every house,
yes, every room, had become a lodging
house, where every consideration of
morality, decency and health was ut
terly disregarded Registration, re-
strictions and limitations were tried
but proved futile to check the over
crowding, and at last the energetic
Scottish officials, securing full powers,
entered upon a sweeping condemnation
and clearing out of the foul buildings
about the Trongate and Saltmarket
With the razing of the slums came the
problem of sheltering the unhoused, and
this proved a troublesome matter. At
first the property was offered in the
open market, at very low prices, but
with wise and rigid restrictions as to
the purpose, character and sanitary
provisions of proposed buildings.
Investors proved shy, and perhaps
sly, expecting that the town council
would find a white elephant on its
hands, and be forced to sacrifice at low
prices and on buyers own terms. But
they were disappointed. The town coun-
Gil courageously faced the situation
and one of the results is system of
municipal lodging houses which may be
considered models in every respect
There are seven houses, one being a
woman's lodging house, and the eighth
has recently been finished as family

over may have a comfortable room,

Eruptions and skin
diseases are a blot
upon

These blots are actually blood blots. To
cure them lotions and outward appli-
cations are useless. The blood must be
cured, before the skin becomes clean.
That great medicine for the stomach
and blood, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, is most effective in cleansing
the complexion and healing diseases
which defile and deface the skin. 1t
acts directly upon the stomach and the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
increases the action of the blood-naking
glands, and expels from the system the
lurking poisons which dehle the blood
and through it deface the skin.
No alcohol or other intoXicant, no
opium or other narcotic is contained in
" Golden Medical Discovery"
1t may pay dealer better to sell you
substitute which is less popular but more
profitable than the 'tDiscovery." It
won't pay you to buy it, if you want
reliable remedy.

the New Haven and the attitude of the
road toward the Central 1t is general
~ asserted in railroad circles that it is
only matter of time until the influ-
ence of c. p. Clark and his friends in
the New Haven will be eclipsed, and
when it is the railroad will go to the
Central, so the keenest judges of the
situation believe.
From an official of the Vanderbilt
system the exact nature of the under
standing between the Pennsylvania and
New York Central has been learned.
rms agreement provides, it is said,
that there shall be no cutting of freight
or passenger rates by either line, and
each shall use its influences to have
rates maintained by other trunk lines.
rms VIII be great help to the rail-
road managers, as it will enable them
to earn money and pay dividends with
out hard struggle to keep afloat. The
agreement is said to have been the re-
suit of Mr.. Vanderbilt's work. He be-
came convinced, it is said, after a
thorough study of the situation, that if
the Pennsylvania and the Central
would agree to maintain rates thew
could hold the others to them. For the
last four years rate cutting has been
general and even the Joint Traffic as
ISOLATION was unable to remedy the
evil Mr.. Vanderbilt felt, it is under
stood, that if the Joint Traffic associa-
ton could not secure relief, if the
Pennsylvania and New York Central
withdrew and went alone, they could
control the conditions. The Pennsyl-
vania fell in with Mr. Vanderbilts
suggestion, and it is said that actual
operation has proved the wisdom of the
compact.
The board Of directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company met Saturday afternoon at
the company's offices in the Grand Cen
trail station. 1t was the regular month
" meeting. and it was said that moth
ing beyond the usual routine business
came before it. If there was an discus
sion regarding railway consolidation
matters, the fact was not made pub
lie.

bravest and the best would shrink
away in terror from even the
thoughts.
A dear friend writes me that not
more than ten of the old families
are there still, who lived there in
the days of the dear old Maryville
l once knew.
Those were quiet and happy
humdrum days, those old ante
bellum days.
What quaint little old town it
was then, but how immense it
seemed to me as a child! Why,
when l stood upon the top of that
flight of break-back and break.neck
steps that led up into the Presby-
terrain church, and looked down the
far lengrh of the one main street of
the town, that apparently ended in
a blacksmith-shop, it seemed as
long to my childish eyes as the
Atlantic cable might have been,
ESQ far as knew that was talked
about SC much at that time.
l would have been very indig-
nant had any one even insinuated
that there might be somewhere
upon the earths surface, a longer
street than that was; it really "beat
the world" in my mind.
The old Wallace homestead has
long since disappeared with others
of its kind-vanishing through
8 noke and flame. 1t was a large
rambling old building with a garnet
and cellar, wherein mad cats taught,
scratched, howled and made night
hideous. The servents informed us
children that these apartments
were haunted, and we firmly be-
lieved they were, not only by these
emissaries of his Highness, but by
his Satanic Majesty himself and we
gave them wide berth. If the
ashes of those dear old homesteads
could utter human speech, and
would tell the romantic histories OF
the members of those families
those who were born, lived married
and died within their sacred walls,
no finer romances could be written.
