to gain information as to the where
abouts of Herbert Marx, the young
Brooklyn lawyer who killed two men
and wounded third at his Virginia
home at Oak Grove In that state on
Tuesday night, last, have so far been
unsuccessful. At the family residence,

scented to say that she had heard from
her brother, and that he was resting
quietly and would probably not return
to Brooklyn for a week.
"The young man is with his brother,
william, and his brother-in-law, Mr..
Blackmar," said Miss Marx, but we
prefer not TO have the public know just
where. as he does not wish to be dis
turbed.
"The fact is, that he somewhat run
down and is simply recuperating his
health"

OUR TALLEsT CHIMNEY.
1t Is Being Built at BRyOnne, N. j.,

1t Is Being Built at BayOnne, N. j.,
and VIII BE $50 Feet High.
The taIIest chimney on this conti-
nent is being erected ct Constable
Hook, Bayonne, n. j., whence come
the smoke and gases of which the
people of Staten Island, the Jersey
coast adjacent and navigators of the
harbor have been complaining for the
last FIVE years, says the New York
Sun. The stack is being put up by
the Oxford Copper company, whose
plant adjoins that of the Standard Oil
company, to carry off the smoke and
gases from it's furnaces, which have
been the chief source of complaint.
1t is a costly undertaking, but the
companies at Constable Hook have
been hard pressed recently by strenu-
Gus protests against the nuisance aris-
ing from their furnaces. The super
visor of the harbor, Lieutenant Com
mander John G. Fremont, complained
to Washington a few months ago OF
the smoke clouds al dangerous TO navi-
CATION, and the newly elected congress
man from Richmond, Nicholas Muller,
pledged himself in his campaign to try
to get congress to do something to
lne duuOydHG0s 81 the
is being built to head off possible trou-
BILE.
1t isn't an easy task to build a tall
chimney on the made land at Consta-
bic Hook, but an expert chimney con-
struction company. which has been
in business in Europe for the last %
years and has erected several thousand
tall stacks over there, has undertaken
the job. 1t is, however, the biggest
that concern has ever tackled. The
company's works are built in the mid
die of swamp on filed in land. To
make the new chimney absolutely safe
an excavation was made until hard
gravel was struck, from 10 to 20 feet
below the level of the ground. Then
in this excavation an area 45 feet
square was filled with piles, driven as
close to each other as they could be
put, and on the top of them a solid
mass Of concrete was laid to the level
of the ground.
The stack itself has a base 80 feet
square for an equal height. Above this
point the chimney is round. 1t is to be
built up to a total height of 800 feet.
The diameter at the top will be ten
feet. The weight of the stack is to be
10000 tons, and the cost of erecting it
will be in the neighborhood of $50, 900.
The builders have promised to COM
plete it by February. The material
used is brick, that at the base being
fireproof.
From experience gained in other
places the company is certain that the
new chimney will end the smoke and
gas nuisance so far as its plant is con-
cerned. They say that the gases pass
ing up through the chimney will never
be noticeable at the surface again.

II a Filipino enters the house of q
European living in an unassuming
way, he will not believe that the Eu-
ropean is either wealthy or wise, and,
although his manner may be correct,
it will not be humble. On the other
hand, if he visits an ignorant man
who INDUCES in great splendor, he will
at once become exceedingly respectful.
Mr.. Phelps Whitmarsh. who in The
Outlook gives his experiences in tbs

provincial visiting Manila for the first
governor general.
When he reached the palace, he
found the governor taking coffee on
his piazza, dressed comfortably in a
white cotton suit. The Filipino re-
quested that some favor be extended
to his district, and his request was
granted. He then withdrew. The Off
cial who had procured the presenta-
ton asked him what he thought of the
general
why" replied the visitor in tone
of disappointment, ''he is no different
from any other white man."
1t so happened that the general was
told of the incident, and he gave or
ders that at his next reception the
Filipino should be present.
Upon entering the throneroom and
seeing the general in full uniform,
surrounded by his brilliant staff, with
the accessories of splendid tapestries,
laced ushers and all the pomp and
splendor of these Spanish functions,
the provincial grew pale and, kneeling
in deep humility, exclaimed:
