BEAUTlFlEO BY PAINT.

The Color scheme Made Eehota an
Attractive village.
Echota is village Ia New York OF
12T houses, inhabited by workmen OF
the big Niagara Development company
and owned by that corporation. How
IL was converted into thing OF beau
y is an interesting story for all who
are interested in village improvements.
Ii is an attractive little town. but its
beauty was formerly married 10y the
uniform painting OF yellow and white.
says Forward. Some weeks ago the
corporation asked Reginald Coke. the
president Of the Buffalo Society or
Artists. 10 devise color scheme for
painting the whole village. When his
direction had been carried out. the re-
suit was even more pleasing than had
been anticipated.
The color scheme is a combination OF
grays and greens interspersed with
enough OF other cOlors TO prevent mo-
nOtOny. Even the telegraph poles have
been painted so that they are no longer
conspicuous.
Such wholesale renovation is perhaps
possible only in n village owned entire
ly by one company, but the result holds
a suggestion for all village improve
ment societies.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

Clesnliness.

First in order i'm activities II this
kind comes cleanliness. Clean streets

ises-with these secured the first great
transformation in the community
takes place. says sylvester Baxter in
The Century. When nuisance rrced-
Ing rubbish heaps are cleared away
and vacant lots, covered with all S0rts

notes the improvcme:t and is interest
ed in seeing IL maintained.
OrderlincsS Of course goes h1nd in
hand with cleanliness. The latter can
not be secured without good order.
and with good order there is an aspect
OF neatneSs that commands popular re-
spect. IL plcaSCs the public eye. Near
~ everybody will desist from throwing
rubbish into a well kept place and
from scattering torn up paper or other
litter I'm a clean street. Public senti-
ment Is easily cultivated in favor OF
public cleanliness and order.
\ notable instance OF its growth is
TO be found I'm the agitation against
splitting i'm public places since il was
determined that the practice Is n
danger TO public health. The posting
Of notices. with regulations against IL.
and the frequent discussion OF the sub
ject I'm the press have made a strong
impression upon public sentiment. and
In consequence the Ofense Is not prac-
ticed 10 anything like the same extent

such agitation

Excessive fOndness for tho pictur-

Come. let US work away.
And you shall keep them very warm.

Lucas claims that on account OF his

therefore he is entitled to first choice
and has selected the honorable position
of captain of the flying squadron.

Senator Opens His Campaign at Mil.
waukee-coal Strike News.
Milwaukee, Oct. 14.-Senator John G.
Spooner opened his campaign last even
ing with a speech at SLhlitz Park. Re-
publicans were drawn from all parts of
the state. He was give1. a cordial recep-
ton.
The senator was deeply moved by his
reception. He paid delicate tribute
to the late Senator Sawyer, Senator
Quarles and President Mckinley. Pres
ident Roosevelt. he said, had proved a
worthy successor to his, great predeces-
sor. HE thinks straight, he talks
straight, he acts straight and he is
straight" said the senator amid wild
applause, and added: He deserves
your confidence anr support"
Speaking of the coal strike, Senator
Spooner said something ought to be
done to bring the opera tors to time, but
the difficulty was to act. The present
situation was intolerable. The president
had done all he could oonstitutionally
and the matter was now up to the au-
thorities of the state OF Pennsylvania.
There was no doubt, lie said. that the
coai ccmI5ine was a trust, but the troll
ble was how to reach 1t. Congress
could not regulate state. and it was
thru the state that it should be reached.
On tariff revision he said the was not
welded to any particularly schedules.
neither was the party. All were welded
to the principle of protection under
which the country had achieved such
unparalleled prosperity. He advised
the republicans to support the entire
state ticket.
