wishes him TO find good woman who will
make him a comfortable home. This in
dicates an amiable disposition on her part,
but the eternal feminine is betrayed by
her further specification of one woman TO
whom she would object as a successor TO
herself. Obviously, it is her purpose to
rid herself of the trammels of matrimony
without entirely freeing her husband from
them. She doesn't want him herself, but
by having him under her eye as boarder
she can, 10 some extent. regulate his COM
ings and goings and keep tab" on his
movements. One of the husbands objec-
tionable habits which causes her to seek
divorce is that of throwing cigar stumps
in the soup, but whether this habit would
be less offensive in a boarder or whether. as
a boarder she thinks she could quell him,
is not made plain. She certainly cherishes
the belief that she can put up with him
better as a mere detached man than as a
legal appendage TO herself. All of which
opens anew the wide field Of speculation
as to the secret of the psychological
change created by matrimonial ties. Mean
while, the man in this case remains to be
heard from.

STREETS RESERVED FOR RES
IDEyCES.

Whenever a city grows to certain size
it usually happens that one or more resi-
dence streets come to be pre-eminently
and show streets of the city. 1t is but
natural, for the chief desire of practically
every American family is to possess a
home as comfortable and as beautiful as
their means and taste will admit, and 1t
thus happens that as some of them grow
very wealthy they are not merely willing
but anxious to make very heavy invest
ments of money in houses and grounds,
which, where the taste of the owner or
architect happens to be good, do much to-
are primarily for private p''rposes, the
public cannot but derive considerable bene-
fit, since Americans have never followed the
old-world habit of inclosing their grounds
with high walls.
But, just as naturally, the Identification
of residence street lays open to men of
cupidity opportunities for making money
by the species of blackmail involved in the
purchase of adjacent property and the
threat to use it for purposes which, while
entirely lawful, are entirely out of har-
mony with the character of the street. 1t
is extremely difficult to draw the line, for
legitimate business should not be ham,
pered in its encroachment upon the resi-
dence streets of growing city, and what
appears to the resident blackmail is quite
another thing in the mind of the man pro-
posing to use his own property in what
seems to him the most profitable way, but
in Indianapolis we have recently had at
least one patent attempt to extort high
price for property with the threat of es-
tablishing upon it a business that would
depreciate the value Of property in the
neighborhood.
Most other American cities have recog-
nized these tendencies. and, in view of
them, have set aside one or more streets
or portions Of through streets for resi-
dence purposes, forbidding by ordinance
the use OF property for business or tene-
ment-house purposes. As a result of such
provision they have streets that have been
richly adorned with houses and grounds,
because men with the necessary money to
spend in such adornment had the assur-
ance that their investments would be safe
from invasion by the kind of buildings or
character of enterprises that might in large
measure ruin them.

The ex-Confederates OF Missouri cheered
and threw I'D their hats at the singing
Of Dixie" and voted unanimously against
song. The air is taking one. and, con-
sidsring its associations. the Confederate
veterans can be excused for cherishing it.
The words are about as meaningless and
silly as could well be. but not more so than
those OF Yankee Doodle" AS a rule, the
music and melody OF national airs are more
affective than the words. 1.-THE STAR
spansled Banner Is not fine poetry, but
the song Is dear to Americans and millions
OF people have gone wild over the music
who could not repeat stanza OF the poem.

Why Is it that so many authors feel it

A story About Phil May.

London Letter.
Many stories OF the late Phil May are
current. but / doubt whether any of them
is more characteristic Of the man than the
following: Once in Fleet street Phil met
man who. from long wandering in foreign
parts. had reached London destitute. He
was tattered and forlorn and would have
passed his old comrade by. but Phil was not
the kind either to forget or 20 deny a
friend. So he stopped the wanderer. Hull

more than one) condolences were exchanged.
and at parting said Phil: WELL look here

to-night. Come and take pot luck" ''Oh,

Recent researches into the early history
OF Chicago have resulted In showing that
the first settler and first real-estate holder
of the future city was negro. Heretofore
1t has been generally supposed that the
first settler and founder OF the city was
one John kinzie, white man. who settled
there In 1sOi IL now appears that he was
preceded many years by San DOMINICAN
negro. Jean Baptiste Point de Sable by
name, who came to Illinois with the earliest
French settlers and settled on the present
site OF Chicago about l777. This claim
seams to be substantiated by the fast that

Tomorrow the ministerial association of

feasibility of merging all of the small and

Lincoln now has fifty-six churches, and it

ties of the city in the slightest degree. On

for the surviving churches and enable them

THE JAPANESE
FIRE CLAIMS
THOROUGH GOING AND SYSTEMA-
TIC METHOD IN WHICH THEY
ARE BEING HANDLED.

Up on the second story of the Ozaki
building on King street, near Nuuanu
stream the abacus Is being used in
figuring out the percentages and divi-
sions of the Japanese fire claims. The
Japanese fire claims are practically all
held in trust by Mr.. OZaki, and very
complete and somewhat elaborate sys-
tenn of records and accounts is being
kept in connection with the trust. In
the first place the several hundred
japanese claimants all put their claims
in the hands of OzaH in trust for them
selves. To each one he issued a de-
claration of trust showing the number
and amount of the claim and the claim
ants name. This declaration Of trust
being countersigned or certified by the
Japanese Consul Mkt Saito.
In pursuance of this trust the ten
per cent paid by the Territory some
time ago was collected by Mr.. Ozaki
and deposited in the Yokohama Spe-
Gle bank. OF the million dollars APP
propriated by the United States, as
fast as the percentage of this is paid it
also is deposited in the Yokohama Spe-
Gle bank An agreement has been
made with the Bank of Hawaii by
which the proportion of the awards to
be paid in fire claims bonds is to be
taken at ninety per cent of the face
value, the bonds eventually going to
Wells Fargo & Company's bank which
