THE HEIGHT OF HOUSES.

From The Architectural Record.
In Paris the height OF the houses Is limited, the
limit varying according 10 the width Of the street
which the house is situated. Nothing could be
better. Hygiene requires that the sunshine md its
way into the narrow streets well as into the
broad Ihoroughfares: while, speaking from
aesthetic point of view what be expected of a
street where house Of two stories is hanked by
skyscraper of twenty? Hence. there is certain
harmonious symmetry about Paris streets. One
cannot imagine house OF twenty-five stories

OFFER PRAYERS FOR GONZALES.
MANY Tributes to His Work in Columbia
Churches.

Columbia. s. c, Jan 1s.-There have been more
encouraging symptoms in the condition OF Mr.
Gonzales to-day than nave appeared at any time
since he was wounded by Lieutenant Governor
TilInan last Thursday. yet it is impossible to give
any promise as TO the ultimate result of his case
The physicians say that he is holding his own and
that he probably has passed the period Of danger
from peritonitis.
One Of the physicians said to-day that if Mr.
Gonzales lived until Tuesday without unfavorabie
developments, he likely would have an even chance
of recovery. This evening there return OF
nausea and more restlessness than the physicians
wished TO see. and they are watching with con-
siderable anxiety for a relief from these disturb
ances. Dr. W. Gill Wyie. of NeW-Tork VINO left
here last night for Rock Hill, is returning Tonight
In the CHURCHES of this city to-day there were
offered earnest prayers for the life OF the stricken
editor. In ali the leading churches the ministers
oI1ered special supplicators. All referred IN high
terms to the services Of the wounded man to the
city and the State.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman IS still n the county
iail and no applica tions have been made for his
release bail 1t is considered practically certain
that none would be entertained so long as the con-

ORANGE DOCTORS MAKE BLACK LIST
The Sick Must Not Forget to Pay Their
Bills.

East Orange. y. J., Jan. Is (SpeciaD.-The
Practitioners Society OF the Oranges, which is
composed Of physicians and surgeons practising
in the Oranges. has prepared a black list Of
people who do not pay their bills for medical
service. The names of the worthy poor who
cannot pay for medical treatment are not on
the list, which is made UP of well-to-do people
who, the doctors say. but will not pay. The
society has also decided to urge the fact that
the proposed isolation hospital which is pro-
jected for the Oranges. and which it is proposed
10 locate the Orange Mountain, in West Or
Rnge. is not a menace TO the health or the COM
munity. The society urges the establishment
of the hospital but has gone on record as being
opposed TO the site selected because of its mac
feasibility. and favors its location IN more
central position

TALK OF Il COAL TRUST.
The Independents Meansehiie Haze
PLEDGED Themselves TO SO Ton.

The break in prices Of independent coal on
Friday and Saturday apparently alarmed the
independent operators for yesterday it was re-
ported that they had brought again into active
existence the Anthracite Coal Operators AS
sociation. composed of independent operators
and had entered into an ironelad agreement not
TO sell at less than SO ton at tidewater.
Last week the position OF the independents
was expressed by one of their representatives,
who said. quoted in last Saturdays Tribune,
Our price is what get" Should the
agreement reported yesterday hold good this
attitude VIII be changed to general refusal to
sell at less than $40.
This action of the independents materially has
changed the situation, and the hopes Of lower
priced coal for this week now rest upon the ex-
pectation OF large shipments of 50 company coal
10 tidewater But the big companies have to
look out for the towns on their lines. As the
president of one Of the coal carrying roads
pressed it;
The railroads each have to take care OF the
towns along their lines. many of which have no
other source Of supply. New-York is not the
only place, but apparently here these other
places are not thought Of"
The coal wharves at Elizabethport were in
full operation yesterday. but the work was
slow because of frozen coal There were over
TWO hundred men employed on the wharves.

years bUt with the existing weather condi-
lions what is being accomplished is far from
satisfactory. There were yesterday about 4l5
ears loaded with anthracite and soft coal

cars that arrived Saturday night and Sunday
morning. The coal that is being received at
Eliza bethport is chiefly Lehigh, and is what is
known as washed. This kind freezes easily.
