The Little Children of the Rich.


1t isn't the unkempt little arabs whe
play in street cutters that are mis-
chievously mean and brutal. On Cen

dressed children were playing. A pref

long hair floating over her shoulders.
She was neatly garbed, but the apparel
of the rich children made her look
shabby. and she was weighted down
with big package.

was with mahogany. This wood is too
rare and expensive for common use at
the present day, but oak is noble sub
stitute, and though not so rich wood
in appearance it has the merit of help
ing to make a room light and cheer
full" So writes a Country Gentleman
correspondent, who gives the following
hints on making the dining room an at
tractive place:
If possible, let the table, chairs and
sideboard be of the same wood and of
the same general treatment as to de-
sign, etc, whatever be the wood that is
used. and let these three articles have
an appearance of solidity, for therein
lie good taste and elegance.
The fimsy. highly ornamented fyrni-
ture that is to be seen so commonly at
the present day can hardly find its way
into homes where taste and beauty are
appreciated and understood.
There is a vast amount of comfort
In such chair as is figured herewith

seat anu arm rests. lneFe IS soma
comfort in eating while occupying such
chairs, and a sense of luxury. Eee.t
A china closet opening both from the
kitchen and from the dining room is
highly to be commended on the score
Of economy of labor, but where this
is not practicable. and where the
closet must stand by itself in one of
the walls of the dining room, the de-
sign in the first illustration may prove
suggestive. even If all its features are
not followed. The top shelf is not in
closed except by low latticework in
front, and forms an excellent resting
place for pieces of fine china. particu-
larly such as will lend some color to
the room. Additional color may also
be secured by using a curtain of ''old
blue" over the middle compartment of
the closet.
The woodwork of this china closet
that is exposed to view, including the
fronts of the drawers, should be of
the same material as the wood of
which the table, chairs and sideboard
are made. The rail at the bottom of
the middle compartment may be of
brass or of the dull black iron that is
used so much at present. and so arts
tically, for decorative purposes.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
International Salt COmpany's Large
Plant at South Chicago. ILL.,. De-
strOyed-LOss $1,275,OOO.

Chicago, April 3O.-Fire originating
in the engine room of the Interna-
tional Salt company's plant in South
Chicago last evening destroyed all the
buildings of the company and spread to
three grain boats in the Calumet river.
The boats were towed into the river,
but before the flames could be
quenched the boats were consumed.
The loss is estimated at 81 ,275.OOO, that
of the International Salt company be-
ing placed at 100000. The fire threat
ened to spread to a series of numbered
elevators along the Calumet river and
to other large manufacturing plants,
but under the direction of Chief Mus
ham the firemen's attention was di-
rected to preventing spread of the
flames after it was seen the salt COM
pany's plant could not be saved.
The fire is thought to have cost one,
possibly two, lives. James O'Shea,
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern car
inspector, is missing and is believed to
be dead. John McCue, an employe of
the salt company, has not been seen
since the fire started and may have per-
ished.

Powder House by Italians Near
New York City.

New York, April 3O-Armed guards

fore Friday morning, $4,000 laborers
employed on the subway and in the

cola boration and coordination of fed

teal work suggested a collaboration
between the census Office and the state
bureaus of labor. Resolutions were
passed, adopting the report and Great

tary Cortelyou, of the department of

session of the national and interna-
tional good roads convention Hon. L.
G. Harper, of Huntington, Ia. chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
presented the report of the commit
tee, which was adopted. The resolu-
lions declare:
Firsts that the building of good

paramount Importance to national
prosperity and commercial supremacy.
Second, that we recommend the
harmonious cooperation of the town
ship, county, state and national gov
ernments in the furtherance of this
great end.
Third, that the associa ton believes
that the appropriations heretofore
made for the building of railroads,
canals and improvement of rivers and
harbors has been wise and beneficent,
but an appropriation for the improve
ment of our highways has now become
necessary to extend the blessings of
intelligence and to promote high or
der of citizenship among all classes of
people and to meet the ever growing
necessities of the agricultural inter-
ests.
Fourth, that we recommend the es-
tablishment throughout the United
States of complete and perfect organ
ization from the nation down to the
township, which organizations shall
overlap each other and make COM
plete national association.
