up and down its length. Two events had hap

One of the general stores was owned by
George Carter. He was bachelor of 40,
who boarded with the Widow Brown, and the
widow had reported his mysterious disap-

INVASION OF THE FLAT

One thing to which the real estate board
of Minneapolis might possibly give profit
able attention is the invasion of the best
residence districts by undesirable build
ings-undesirable from the standpoint Of
the home builder.
"A resident of Minneapolis, who has the
money to build with. and who would be
glad TO erect a fine home in this city,
costing anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000
or $40, coo, has been for months studying
the future of different localities in the
hope of finding some quarter in which to
build which would be not too far out and
reasonably safe from Invasion by the
builder of flats. Thus far he has not
yet invested. f. ..--
ters of that kind are no doubt very at
tractive for a certain part of the year in
this climate. and homes of this character,
confined to reasonable height in resi-
dent districts would not be as seriously
Objectionable as the high fiat buildings
which are being erected in various parts
of the city. It is easy to understand,
however, why any man who plans to build
house for himself would not wish to
have four or five story fat building put
UP beside him or standing with It's any
thing but ornamental rear, elevation ex-
posed to view across the landscape. There
appears to be, however, no locality in the
best resident quarters of the city that is
safe from the invasion of just that kind Of
building. The matter is really serious
one. It has no doubt tendency to de-
press the price of residence property and
to deter builders and investors, as in the
case cited, through fear that first class
residences may he damaged by the erec-
ton Of such buildings in their immediate
vicinity.

MEMORIAL DAY

Forty years ago this month over 100000
men had been called out and were in ac-
tive service in the patriotic duty of put
ting down the rebellion Of the southern
shareholders. ..-. ...,... +.
In 1861 the proposition to call out 300,-
900 men at once to meet the emergency
was treated as the product of a. disor-
dered mind. Before that great conflict
ended more than 100000 enlistments
were found necessary. On May 1. 1861,
there were 156,15o men modified to pre-
serve the national union and to suppress
insurrectionary combinations. In 1862
Americans knew what war really meant
It was the greatest war of the nineteenth
century and it was the means Of dispos-
pertaining, not only to this country, but
to the whole civilized world. It removed
all doubts as to the unity of the Ameri-
can people into cohesive national whole.
1t destroyed all the ardent hopes enter
tanned by Europe that the great republic
of the western hemisphere would be
wrecked and with it the aspirations of
the lovers Of liberty would die. The tri-
umph Of American unity Stimulated ma
tional development and led up to the, great
triumphs witnessed to-day in our indus
trial domination of the world, our recog-
nized financial power and influence, our
development as a naval !. and military
power. y 49, = 4
Memorial Day comes again and it is
natural to turn from the imposing re-
suits of our indivisible unity to the voices
of the dead who speak to the living on
the morrow. One recalls the magnificent
speech of Colonel Ingersoll at Cincinnati,
in which he so eloquently portrayed the
uprising patriotism of the men and women
of 1861, who in the spirit of self-sacri-
fee took up the burdens of the civil war.
These recognized the highest claim upon
all the best they had of talent and en-
ergy and endurance to be that put forth
by their country in her hour of peril.
They served their country to the extent
of death and wounds and manning for life,
| many of them, and they tell US that the
same claim is laid upon us@by our coun-
| try to-day as it was in the civil war
l
and in the Spanish war, to freely lay the
| best service. we can give to our country
| and flag and to the utmost that is SYM
bolized by that flag of peace, prosperity,
safety, honor and blessing. This is the
duty of good citizenship. 1t is no less
a claim therefore upon the living to main
tain our countrys integrity and to dc
so the maintenance of the community
Integrity and honor and well being is
just as necessary. Memorial Day has its
peculiar inspiration to civic duty. Wreaths
and rhythmic strains and eloquence char
acterize the outward homage to the SOL
der dead. All these should make an ap-
peal to the individual to recognize the
individual duty to make the best use
the noblest use of the liberties purchased
for the living by the blood and wounds and
valor of the dead and of the survivors
of the bloody struggles Of war. :

carrying a capitalization largely in ex-
cess Of what the duplication of the plants
would cost? Was the good will worth

/ And what mattered the particular figure
at which the capitalization was fixed? If
the company earned enough to pay divi-

stocks worth full value b And why should

And so business began. The company
made money and asslatei as 1900 there was
surplus of $8S2,ooo. Meantime, how
ever, more competitors were bought up,
and the company had to bid for the plants,
which were necessary4to the maintenance
of it's position.
& To earn dividends on the increasing
capitalization prices had to be pretty stiff,
and soon the business was on basis

The Girls Home.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JoURNAL:
While every one in Belfast saware that We
have Girls Home, few of our citizens find
time to visit it, They have little knowledge
of the manner in which it is conducted.
After pleasant call there can safely speak
in praise of it.
One morning, having an errand at the
Home, started on my walk down North
port avenue. My ng was answered by the
matron, Mrs. Florence A. Maynard, who
welcomed me. Being at leisure she invited
me to visit the several rooms. The whole
building was in perfect order. The beds
are made by the children themselves and
very neatly done.
In the play-room were the girls with their
toys and books. All were neatly dressed
with sweet, happy faces. No quarreling is
allowed, and there is feeling of good fell
lowship among Them. All differences are
settled by the matron
Mrs. Maynard is a judicious Christian
woman whose heart is in her work. She
has faculty Of bringing out all the good
qualities of child's nature without eXclt-
Ing any evil pre- peuSllltS. 1HeS dll snip
her
Each child is given some light task to per
form according to their years and capablli-
ties, They are little ladies, and are taught
to be kind, thoughtful and industrious. No
home in our city has a better behaved fam
lily in it than the Girls Home, and all the
children bear evidence of the motherly
care of the matron.
The duties of Mrs. Maynard are many,
but none are neglected. She is prudent
and panstaking and the society is fortunate
in securing her services. 1t is to be hoped
she can be retained.
Mrs. Gates, the householder, is also very
efficient and works in unison with the mat
ron.
The home is in good hands, but much
help and encouragement is still needed in
the future.
| wish the people of our city would visit
it more and Judge for themselves.

would have been hailed today as having
periodically met serious emergency.
Next spring he could, if necessary,
have resumed his efforts to secure a re-
dress of grievances for the miners with
infinitely better prospects for success
than he had last May, for he would
have enlisted public sympathy as never
before.
The Star. as matters then stood, re-
CARDS the outlook as black indeed. But
we are inclined to take more hopeful
view. We have faith in the American
people. and believe that way will be
found out of the present difficulty, by
force of arms if necessary. We do not
believe that the poor in our large cities
will he allowed to suffer-indeed meas
ures for their relief are now under
way-and are sure that the coal barons
and anarch lists alike will eventually be
made to suffer for the injury they have
done.
