 houses in recent years to sell to cKance customers at prices ranging as high as
 from ssoo.000 to $500. 900, says Ralph D. Paine in The Worlds Work. "In no other city or time would contractors . dare to build houses for the general market. hoping to sell them for more than Sl0O.o00; but whereas a. half cen- tury ago the furnishing of the weaIthi- est homes was characterized by mon strous ugliness. single generation has seen a revolution in American taste.
 Until decade ago the acquisition of costly collections in art was confined to paintings, and the ruling spirit was to 1 get the most display for the greatest outlay, with few notable exceptions. Little by little a group of millionaires Iound time and inclination to appreci- ate or to value poreelairis. rugs, tapes trles and gems. It is common for a plutocrat of this era to spend $i, ,000, 900 Tn furnishing his home. and the abIest experts sell their services to insure the highest standard of taste. An American millionaire paid s500,- 900 for three tapestries to fit wall in his newly erected palace. Another set of three pieces of tapestry was sold for
 S300,000 to adorn an American home. The wife of another American paid Sl25,000 for set of furniture not long ago, and there were only four pieces. tTheir value was in the tapestry uphoi- stering. In a shop in Paris there are three panels of tapestry for which S10O,- 900 each is asked. The dealer has an agent in this country. who is confident of finding a purchaser as soon as he finds the millionaire who wants costly tapestries. At the sale of the Marquand collection last winter a rug was sold for $3S, DOC. Ii is supposed to have been bought by dealer who will hold it un- til he finds purchaser willing to pay S75,000 or even s100,O00 for the treasure. Senator Clark of Montana has col- lection of rugs among the furnishings | of his home for which he paid at low est estimate s250.O00. Unostentatious Philadelphia can furnish a list of $1,- 0QO,000 worth of paintings il twenty live frames hanging in the private gal leries of her millionaire collectors.

THE CONN ECTICU1.

. The people of this State, being inter- ested in the growth of the battleship which is to be named Connecticut, will
 be pained to know that the Navy de- partment officials are somewhat wor- ried over the slow progress that is being made on the battleship Connecticut by the men at the Brooklyn yard, compar- ed with the record that the Newport News Company is making with the Connecticut's sister ship. the Louisiana. It appears that the Louisiana was 21
 per cent. completed on the first of this month, while the Connecticut at the same time was only 15 per cent. com
 pleted. This is a slight gain over the records two months ago, when the Newport News ship was only per cent. ahead of the Brooklyn Navy Yard craft. The Navy department the other day re- ceived full report from the naval con- structor at Newport News regarding the progress that has been made on the Louisiana This report has been for- .warded to Constructor Capps at the

 Alabama case in which the victims
 were white folks, and therefore thought to have souls. Tn this case a white
 father and two sons were actually stolen
 by process of law and put at. work for the family of the justice who sen- fenced them. The slaves were an old
 man named English and his two boys. Justice Prestwood charged them with
 carelessness in setting fire to some pine wood. This charge is declared to be false, the men having been at dis tance on their farm when the flames
 broke out. But whether true or false the trial was a rnockery. They were arrested by a constable who cannot read or write his own name, and who is a tenant of the judge, therefore de- sirous of keeping in his graces. A member of the judges family offered to save the accused from jail if they would work out the damage to the woods, fixing $50 as the amount. They naturally refused, but on being threat ened with Imprisonment they concluded to accept the proposition, signing with their crosses receipt for that sum which was offered to them and which was not even, read aloud. The men
 were held in bondage for over a month, and were credited with having paid
 $S.1s on the $50. The justice then seized
 Engiish's crop to make good the bal- ance. fs.
 Those who did this outrage are to be tried and perhaps punished for it. But it is not believed there will be lynch ing, as all concerned are white.

antique coins, medals, carvings. small tapestries and Iaces
 This is not wholly true of precious stones, for the American, demand has raised prices in the worlds market for certain kinds of gems. One of the Iead- ing gem collectors of this country, who buys to sell again, has sold to one man in Boston more than s1.000OO0 worth of precious stones, treasures that are never seen outside his own home. For single ruby S4O.00O has been paid by an American collector, and dealer who asked s1OO.OO0 for another ruby found purchaser in New York. In less than ten years the increase in the value of diamonds and other precious stones imported into the United States has been fairly phenomenal, advancing from s15, ,16S.746 in 1893 to s25. .412.

The Officious Guards and the Inevitable
 Sixpences.
 To be robbed in the name of William Shakespeare is veriiy a privilege, and Eone freely bestowed on every sentiment tai visitor to the picturesque town of Stratford.
 A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but surely no other name than that of the great "Bard of Avon" could cost as much. It is pay, pay, from the moment one alights from the train and mounts triumphantly to the top of the ''Shakespeare" bus, until, wearied, but well informed, and relieved of his final shilling, the traveller takes his leave of the quaint little town. As he departs with a collection of souvenirs, the price of which has been exalted to a Shakes pearean altitude, he bears away with him happy consciousness that he has somehow placed on record an ifnpor- tant seal of his approval of the best in literature, by an expenditure of shil- lings and the bestowal of his autograph upon the plotted pages of many visi- tors books.
 The visitor cannot refrain from won- dering if any other town in all the world is half so "spick and span" and out on dress parade. Everything that has any reason for being inspected thrusts itself forward for that purpose, and close by stands man, or boy, with palm extended, murmuring, "sixpence." :" An, what a joy to call back Shakes peare's spirit just for a day, that he might ''do the towr," or rather ''be done by it." in company with few kindred souls, who could with him Hook on this picture" having previous ly inspected that

It is hoped that this will act as stimulant to the men at the government yard. and that they will at least keep pace with the Newport News Iahorers in the balance of the shipbuilding race. The department off, cials expected that the private plant would make better progress with its ship in the early stages of construction than the Navy Yard men would. but 1t was thought that the margin of differ enee would be comparatively small.
 It is to be hoped that nobody will hurry in building the Connecticut so that inferior work will be done, and it isn't likely that anybody will. But per haps the men who are working on her will feel sonic pride in getting along as fast as the men at work on the Louisi- ana. They ought to.

 And as class they have come to reeog- nize the fact that there is no safer in vestment from business standpoint than fine, paintings, rugs, tapestries, porcelains and antiques in general when picked by experts. They buy on a rising market. for the demands of American luxury are exhausting the treasures of the Old World. It is 2 business estimate that any collection wisely chosen and not bought for ex- tortionate figures will increase in value at an average rate of 4 per cent. a year. or the interest on the investment. It is still characteristic of many, veal thy Americans that small objects, even if they be priceless from the collectors viewpoint, are not bought for their own sake, because they cannot be displayed with impressive effect.

GOOD WoMkN FOR aooD ROADS

""OD WUMhN FOh HOOO 4SOADD
 Considerable has been said lately about bad men for good roads, and the idea that bad men can work out some Of their badness in making good roads finds not a little favor and some use. But until now nobody has said, or even thought, about good women making themselves useful by working on the roads, So there is a novelty in Mis- souri. Some of the rural young women of Vernon county in that State, having tired of going to town over bad roads, have organized the Ladies Good Roads Society and will see if the women cam not do better than the men in making improvements in the highways. The; members propose to try to keep in good condition the roads near their respec-. tive homes. Misses Matte Hanson and Myrtle Trarable started the ball rolling one day last week by taking team or horses, a blow and scraper, and mak- ing passable a bad piece of road south west of Temple.
 Doubtless the Ladies Good Roads Society ofgNernon county, Missouri, will do much better than the men have done Judging from what the men have done the women cant do worse. The Missou- ri women have set good example. Per- haps the Daughters of the Revolution, the Colonial Danes. etc. etc. will be inspired by that example to take a hand in road-making. #s
