Observation-Disclosures AT wonK

DOW-BREAKERS AT WORK.
Some time during Tuesday night
some unknown person broke out one of
the show windows in John A. Morris
clothing store on High street and took
Two coats out the window.
The thief took a small fiat stone not
larger than an ordinary mans hand
pecked the glass In several places until
ne weakened it and then forced it out
The glass is five-sxteenths of an inch
thick. The noise of the falling glass
must have made considerable noise
After getting the glass out he reached
his hand in and took two coats. What
seems strange is that he did not take
more. as there was quite n number In
reach.
The police were notified and are try
ing to work the matter up. Suspicion
points to a we'll known negro, who
has engaged in this kind OF work be-

a gentleman who occapies position

eminent said yesterday to The Vir-
ginian-Pilot that our people have been
laying claim to having 50 many peo-
pie in our immediate vicinity. The
census Will shortly be taken, and by
that 1t will be shown exactly the num-
per OF inhabitants that Portsmouth
mas; also the surroundings. County,
south. Glasgow, London and all the
streets running east and west are built
up soiidly for nearly n mile outside the
CITY limits. They receive all the bene-
hts OF the city, street cars. mail SER
vices and full protection where abso-
iutely needed. Then they should be-
come part of the city and let the
world see to what extent we have
grown. The residents of Prentis Place
ana the other streets mentioned have
moved out of the city and built them
up. Then why not let the city get the
benefit of il and show the outside
world that we. too. have been moving
along with the balance of the State.
Newport News, in order to get the ben
eiit OF the census, has scooped in every
thing. Other cities have done like
wise Then why should not we? A
plan upon which they could be admit
ted could be presented to the Legisla-
ture, and let it go into effect at once
otherwise our showing will not be as
good as we would like to have it for
reasons given above.

AMERICAN SHOES THE BEST.
Foreign Maker. Do Not Make the Com
Portable Kind.

foreign Maker. Do Not Make the Com
Portable Kind.
I'VE are very apt to think of i'm
ported goods as something superior
to those of our own manufacture.
This is particularly wrong of Amer
lean shoes. Nowhere in the world is
made the equal of our shoes. know
women who find from experience that
1t is best to carry with them on
trip abroad, whether to the land of
French heels or English common
sense soles, full supply of footwear
to last until their return, finding it
impossible to buy comfortable shoes
in any foreign land. There are some
facts about shoes that one should not
disregard if they would have that
most desirable thing-comfortabl
feet: Never wear a boot or shoe tight
anywhere, or one that will not allow
the great toe to lie in straight line.
Never wear shoes that pinches the
heel, or that is so large in the heel
that the foot is not kept in place.
Never wear a shoes that presses up
into the hollow of the foot, nor have
the top of the boot tight. as it inter-
feres with the muscles and makes one
walk badly Never wear one pair of
shoes all the time unless compelled to.
Two pairs of shoes worn day at
time alternately will last longer, be
more comfortable and much more
healthful. 1t is restful to have light
shoes for house use Never imagine
that feet will grow large from wear
ing comfortably large shoe. Pinch
ing the foot makes it grow not only
large, but unsightly. Allowance for the
natural use of the muscles makes a
foot compact and attractive.

WOOD PAVING.
New Method Said to B. tn. Best
Known.

The decision of the city council OF
London, upon recommendation of the
city engineer, to pave two new streets
with wooden pavements has caused
new interest to be taken in wooden
pavements on both sides of the At
lantic. This new system Of wood paw
Ing is said to be the most durable and
the most easily repaired. 1t is said
that it is the only kind of wooden
pavement that can be relied upon to
stand the traffic of cities like London
and New York. Instead Of fashioning
the wood blocks into dice, hexagons,
polygons or dove-tailed complications
In any form, by the new process
barked trees of any size or quality are
sliced into cylindrical pieces about 13
Inches in thickness. The largest pieces
are put down first into good founda-
ton, and then the smaller pieces. until
the remaining interstices may be filled
up with what may be called pigs.
Ramming renders the whole one solid
mass of timber, and not chip Is vast
ed. The surface presents end grain
only and with the different sorts and
sizes afford much better foothold than
either granite blocks or asphalt.

Wagner as q Hum oriSt.

When Wagner's energy was not eX-
pended in his art work, says Gustav
Kobbe in "Wagner's Personality in
the Forum, it found vent in many hu-
morous sallies. He once quoted his
teachers remark that he would never
learn to play the piano. But he
added, Il play great deal better than
Berlioz." The waggishness of this re-
mark lies in the fact that Berlioz could
not play at all. During rehearsal OF
the "Rienzi" overture in Dresden, the
trombones were too loud. Instead OF
-ebuking them angrily, he said, with
laugh: Gentlemen, we are in Dres-
den, not marching around the walls OF
Jericho" After "Tannhauser" was
brought out, a German composer OF
little note, named Chellard, said that
the "Song of the Evening Star was
{ wrongly harmonized," and suggested
CSrtain harmonies which should be
substituted for those employed by
Wagner. When Wagner was among
friends it was one of his favorite di-
versions to seat himself at the piano
and sing the Song of the Evening
Star" la Chellard.
