Building i'm Montgomery.

''The amount of building going on in Montgomery is simply astonishing" said a visitor to the city, after returning from drive yesterday afternoon. ''The man who spends all of his time in the busi- ness. district or in the residence portion ot the city Immediately surrounding the business district does not get an adenuate idea of the improvements i1 progress in the city. The business portion of the city changes It's aspect slowly
 Another thing noticeable about Mont gomery Is. that 1t is compactly built city. Tn the residence portion near the business district the houses are built closely together. The only way for new to be torn down. It Is in the suburbs that the great amount of building is go- ing on. I dare say that 1t would be very hard for a man to make anything like a close estimate of the number of new res idences going up in Montgomery. They are rising up on every hand. There is no suburb of the city that Is not feeling the impetus of this building boom. Driving in the suburbs. any suburbs of the city. one does not get out of sight of two or three. houses in the course of construc- tion."

SEEKING RENoWN.
American Colonel in japanese Army
Husband of Nav Yohe.

A dispatch from New York last night
says that Putnam Bradley Strong, son
Of the former mayor of New York, has
command of a regiment in the japanese
army and has embarked from Japan for
Korea for service against Russia.
Strong is best remembered in New York
for his sensational elopement with May
Yohe, the concert hall singer, while she
was still the wife of Lord Hope. He re-
signed his commission as captain in the
United States army in order that he might
flee with the actress. Previous to that. as
a major of volunteers, he saw service in
the Philippines.
From San Francisco Capt. Strong and
Miss Yohe went to Japan, where they re-
sided for several months, travelling back
to America, stopping en- route in Argentine,
where they were married, Lord Hope in
the meantime having secured divorce.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strong remained in America
only a short time, going once more to
Argentine, whence they proceeded to Paris.
When war between Russia and Japan loom
ed up Capt. Strong turned once more to-
ward Japan, and is now said to be wearing
the uniform Of the mikado at the point
where the hardest fighting is expected to
occur. 1t is understood that Mrs Strong
will remain in Paris.

call for help.

pleased with the manner in which the men,
bers of the committee had received their
