VS0N@EE the right bank of the An
CARA, serves as a splen-
did position for it's churches, crowned
by n high cathedral, and for its houses,
built in picturesque disorder along it's
slopes.
Seen from a certain distance, from
the top of the mountain which runs
along the great Siberian route at dis
lance of some twenty versts, with it's
dOmes and belfries, its graceful spires,
like those of minarets, its spiral domes,
II has n somewhat oriental appearance.
But that oriental appearance vanishes
from the eyes of the traveller from the
moment he enters the town. The town,
half Byzantine, half Chinese, becomes
at once European by its macadamiZed
streets, bordered with sidewalks, with
their rows of gigantic birch trees, by
it's brick and wooden houses, some of
which have several stories, by its many
splendid equipages-in fine, by the
whole body of it's inhabitants being
very advanced in the progress of civ
ilization, and to which the latest fash
ions of Paris are not at oil strangers.
At that epoch Irkutsk, refuge for the
Siberians Of the province, was crowded.
1t abounded in resources of every kind.
Irkutsk is the emporium for all that
countless merchandise which is eX-
changed between China, central Asia
and Europe. They did not fear to
draw there. the peasants from the val
ley Of the Angara, the Mongols-Khal-
kas, people from ToungouZe and Bou-
ret, and to allow the wilderness to
stretch out between the invaders and
the town.
Irkutsk Is the residence of the gov
ernor general of eastern Siberia. Tn
der him is a civil governor, in whose
hands is concentrated the administra-
ton of the province, n head of the po-
lice, who has a great deal to do in a
town where exiles ABOUND. and lastly
a mayor, one of the leading merchants
an important parsonage by his I'M
mense fortune and by the influence
which he has over his fellow citizens.
The garrison of Irkutsk was then
composed of a regiment of foot Cos
sacks, which numbered about 2GGC
men, n body of foot gendarmes, who
wore the helmet and blue uniforms

HER FRENCH Misunderstood
the Latin Quarter of the
French Capital.

She was spending her first month
ia the Latin quarter of Paris. She
spoke English fiuently, with II Boston
accent; also she spoke German, could
make a fair stagger at Italian and
knew a few words of llindoostanee.
but of French not a syllable, relates
the New York Tribune.
One morning she found herself in a
wrestling match with u bottle of
French shoe blacking. The pesky bot
tie, understanding that il had to
Geal with an alien, refused to give
up its cork. She had no corkscrew
of her own and did not know how to
ask for one, even if she dared suspect
that her neXt-dOor neighbor might be
possessed of the luxury. The tine of
her pet fork she had bent ON the OBJ
stinate plug, the point of her best
penknife she had broken off short,
and nothing remained except to
throw the bottle out of n window TO
get at its contents. She decided, as
last resort, to try breaking the
neck off the bottle. With "stove
lid litter" she administered several
cautious taps in the region of the
jugular of the obstinate neck. Moth
in doin'." Then she tapped harder
still, and the backing came. All over
her fingers it came, all over her light
woolen skirt, and over much Of the
floor and window sill.
She decided to have tn skirt cleaned,
and, packing 1t into bundle, tripped
of to an establishment where she
found embarras sment because she
could not understand questions. Fin
ally she got the drift of the conversa-
ton. The cleaners wanted to know
what had caused the spot. Fortunate
ly, bottle of shoe backing was
standing near by, and she pointed at
this and could" and could" until she
left in heightened spirits, feeling
that she had made the cleaners un-
derstand. When the skirt was duly
returned the following week it WAS

IN by w. d. Murphy of New York, and was
purchased by an appropriation of 81, 500
made by Congress for the purpose. Five
artists competed for the honor of making
the painting. and all of them did splendid
work considering that the paintings were
from photographs and descriptions and not
from life Mr.. Murphy had never seen the
late President. There was much difference
of opinion as to the best picture, some of
those who had been near to Mr. Mckinley
during his official life claiming that some of
the other paintings were the best. Many in
innate friends of the dead President, how
ever. gave their sanction to the Murphy
portrait These Were Senator Hanna AS

General Dick of Ohio. A number of changes
were made in the painting at their sugges-

FOUNDATIONS THREATENED
May Be Trouble Ahead for New York,s
Skyscrapers.

The skyscrapers in New York have a
new peril to contend with" declared an
Official of the building department yester-
day afternoon. when the new under
ground railroad system for the METROPOLIS
was proposed there was much conjecture
as to whether or not the foundations of
the big buildings along the various routes
would be affected by the excavations and
the subsequent vibration of the trains It
was soon pointed out, however, that with
the employment of modern principles of
construction there was little to fear on such
a score.
But now an unlocked for condition has
arisen. In building the foundations for the
skyscrapers piles are diven deep into the
ground until they are we'll under water
Then concrete is placed on top of the piles
to form a base for the granite block on
which the steel pillar will rest. 1t has
been found in several instances that the
opening of the underground tunnel has re-
suited In the draining of the water from
number of these pile foundations. thus
threatening their destruction. So long as
the piles remain covered with water they
Will be preserved for an unlimited time
The problem now before the owners of the
big buildings is to find way to keep the
piling wet. 1t is probable some sytem of
pumping water into the foundations will be
adopted, as there Is little prospect of the
tunnel drain being stopped. The problems
OF the modern city are many and varied"

EASILY UNDERSTOOD,
Deaf Mutes See What is Said Behind
Glass Doors.

You need not think you are always tele-
phoning in secrecy" said teacher in the
deaf mute college in this city, when you
go in booth and close the double doors
after you as 1 see people doing every day.
1 notice these people in their retreats in
which they think their words are drowned
from the outer world talking often while
they look on the people outside of the
glass doors.
Now, do you KNOW" he continued, that
every word that Is so spoken is understood
by deaf mute whenever he sees what is
going on under such conditions? That is
a fact The deaf mute becomes so prof.
cient in learning to read the language of
the lips that the motion is expressive
to him as is the sound of the human voice
to other people. The next time you have
secret to impart to some friend over
telephone in public booth where people
are watching you, you should be careful
to speak directly in the mouthpiece of the
phone so that your secret be not given
away to some who happen to understand
the language of the lips"
