NEWSPAPER PLATES
IN CORNER STONE.

BupervisinE Architect Witcover
Says Papers Decay with Age.
Mr.. H. W. Witcover. supervising
architect of the City Hall, is planning
to make a change so far as the arti-
cles that are usually placed in corner
stone are concerned.
1t is customary to place in the cor
ner stone of public buildings a copy of
the papers printed on the day that il
is laid. but in this case Mr.. Witcover
desires that instead of putting a copy
of the papers in the corner stone. the
plate from which the paper is printed,
be used, that is that part of the plate
on which the article referring to the
building appears. The reason of this
change is that paper becomes discol-
ored and rotten with age, while the
plate will never be affected

English Language Sprea ding.

An English-speaking nation has
grown up on the west side of the
Atlantic which has done and is do
ing more than the parent country to
give the tongue a world vogue
Two-thirds of the people who speak
English live in the United States,
The industrial and commercial con-
quests which this country is gaining
tell in favor of its peoples tongue
A century ago French, Spanish and
German were far ahead of English
in the number of persons who use
them as vehicle of speech. But in
the lapse of time English has
passed all of them and is spoken
by more people today than is any
other civilized tongue.

A Touch Of Strenuous Life.

William Rockefeller's gamekeep.
FRS on his vast forest preserve in the
neigh5ol hood of Saranac, N. Y,
are earning their pay these days
The natives thereabouts resent the
appearance of these guards, several
of whom have been fired upon re-
Gently. One of them resigned after
having bullet pass through ri,
coat sleeve as he was patrolling
his lonely beat in the forest. The
Shippers use smokeless powder and
all efforts to locate them have failed.
Mr.. Rockefeller owns $1,000 acres
of fine forest land in the vicinity
named, but the natives cannot be
made to see that with the real estate
he bought the deer. Nor can they
understand how he owns the FISH
which were put into the streams at
public expense. They have shot
and fshed on the land as far back as
the oldest inhabitant can remember
and see no reason why the arrival
of Mr.. Rockefeller among them
should change their custom. Hence
the placing of the guards, of whom
there is small army.

a prominent parsonage in South
Africa-master of the high court
of the Transvaal, and the man who
with Colonel Brooke, hoisted the
British flag over the South African
republic, He was mighty hunter
in those days, too, and many of the
adventures so excitingly set out in
his novels are written directly from
his. own experiences. Some years
ago he took up the investigation of
the condition of agriculture in Eng
and, and is now noted for his tire
less activity in the interest of the
British farmer.

Field Marshal Oyama, who Is in

Temple Hill school at Geneseo, N

Geneseo's leading residents, remenl-

started afoot for peach orchard
belonging to Temp Campbell
which was favorite place with the
boys. While climbing fence
Oyama was the last over. Sudden
ly Mr.. Campbell appeared with a
shotgun. He took aim at Oyama
and fired charge of rock salt into
his body. Oyama stood the pain
stoically as one of the fortunes of
war to be encountered when raiding

Eireproof Cloth.

Under date of October a, 1904,
United States Consul Frank w.
Mahin transmits from Nottingham.
England, as a supplement to his re-
port entitled "Non-ignitablc Elan
nelette," published in Daily Consul
lar Reports of October 6, 1904 (No.
2o74), the following information
relative to new cloth freproofng
material: I'm a paper read at a
meeting of a society of dyers in
Manchester, titantic acid (the
oxide of titanium) was claim.
ed to possess remarkable hreproof-
ing properties, and evidence was
produced in the shape of expert
ments by the reader of the paper
He took, for instance, some pieces
OF fanneette which had been treated
with titanic acid, and put lighted
match to them. The incipient fire
IN the material smoldered and went
out, refusing to burst into a flame
The experimenter claimed that all
infammable textiles could thus be
rendered freproof, and that dyeing-
boiling or washing would not re-
move the acid, it becoming in fact
an integral part of the fabric"

King Sets tho Fashions.

The tops of London are sup
posed to be ever on the lookout for
changes in the appare of the king.
London Tit-Bits says that the king
sets the fashions, not only for Great
Britain, but for the well-dressed
world everywhere. That inquisitive
journal declares that when the king
happened to apper, season or two
ago, in a red necktie, the proclama-
tion was made in all the mems fur
nishing departments in Europe that
red neckties were the proper thing
and they forthwith appeared in ev-
cry shop window. The king, our
authority intimates, is not altogeth-
er pleased with this aping of the
royal costumes. Some years ago
the monarch discovered certain
brown tweed that struck his fastid-
ious fancy. He bought up the
whole output of that style of tweed
knowing that unless he took this
extreme precaution there would
be regular run on the cloth by
the Toms, Dicks and Harrys of the
general public, which would con-
duce neither to his dignity nor to
theirs" 1t is narrated that one
night, when the king was present in
the theater, the famous actor
Fechter, appeared in certain garb
which in style and finish appealed
to the kings taste. When the cur
tain descended the king sent for
Fechter and asked him who his tai
lor was. The fortunate tailor was
given royal order for several suits
of the desired cut.

Success of q Reporter.

Joseph c. Hendrix, long an i'm.
portant Democratic politician in
Brooklyn, where he was postmaster
under Clcveland's first administra.
ton. and later banker, has died
in his 52d year, after an interesting
career. He was born in Missouri,
but of an old New York Dutch
family; had three years study at
Cornell, became reporter on the
New York Sun, and then in charge
of its Brooklyn news. In 1883 he
was chosen to run against Seth
Low for mayor of Brooklyn, and
made a good showing. He was
elected in 1884 to the board of ed.
ucation Of that city, and served six
years; from 1886 to 1890 he was
postmaster. Meantime he had be-
come engaged in banking, and con,
tinued in that line of business as
bank director and president also he
served in the Fifty-third congress
and was one of the foremost gold
Democrats, The New York Even
ing Post reports that it was said
that on his retirement from the
presidency of the National Bank OF
Commerce last year the directors
gave him .$25o,ooo as "honorari-
um." Thus the reporter would
seem to have achieved Success"

sees hopeless future for the In
dams, among whom he has spent
the greater portion of his life. He
believes that it is practically impos-

in their present state, dying out in
numbers till they become simply

Chinese and Football.

When Sir Chcntung LANG
Cheng, Chinese minister to Wash
ington, was a student at Amherst
he gained much fame as a base
ball player. His two sons, Ardi and
Arlu, seem to have inherited his
fondness for athletics. but they take.
to football especially. The boys,
IA and II years old respectively,
put in an hour or two every day
wrestling with and kicking a foot
ball around the legation lawn and
into adjacent lots. Their arrange
ment for the protection of the
quene is clever. Tightly braided, it is
tucked down underneath the sweat
er, or if shirtwaist happens to be
the. style Of the hour, inside the
shirtwaist. Thus the danger of be-
ing tackled by the luxuriant growth
of hair is reduced to minimum.

DE TEATRO


tia Cara de Dios"
Ell sabado y domingo hemos tenido
esta obra en- escena. No ha sido un
exito, pero ha sido aplaudida bastante.
La reconocida competencia de la
direction de escena, no ha podido ha.
Ger mas con los cuatro telones vieios
que hay en- Ell teatro. Las mutacio-
mes constituyen un peligro que anne
naza ell exito de toda obra; cada cam
bio de cuadro le quita una buena par
te de efecto.
Pero como el libro es bueno Ia
mdsica preciosa, ola Cara de Dios" Sc
puede yer, anRque un tanto des6gu-
rada
Los caracteres estan bien tocades,
menos el del "tio Doroteo" que resulta
falto de unidad. Ell argumento es
sencillo; un drama de esos tan frecuen-
tes en- la vida. Una pareja que Sc
quiere, vive en- paz, hasta que un in
truso interrumpe bruscamente ell idi-
/ lilo. Tiene ell libro escenas de mucho
interes dramatico y escenas comicas
de mucho efecto.
Todo Sc arregla con la muerte del
amigo falso, de Eleuterio, que esta ena
morado malamente de Soledad, que Sc
quiere con Ramon.
Ell ito Doroteo, un viejo bullangue-
ro y sin caracter, que permite que su
majer le pegue en- plena calle, es ell
que mata al intruso, cosa inesperada y
sorprendente, pero que deja contentos
todos y saliva la situacion.
La gente Sc fgura que Eleuterio Sc
ha caido desde 10 alto de la obra ter
minada, Y Sc ha> hecho una tortilla en-
la calle, mas. no. sospecha que le ha
empujado el ito Doroteo; asi la justicia
no tiene qne castigar a nadie, nj es
tampoco el Cielo que castiga al traidor
como en- algunos melodramas sensacio-
males.
Y vamos con los INTERPRETERS. Con
los que no conoce nuestro p1blico que
va a la zarzuela, y al que no hay ne
cesidad de decirle que la seflora Bel
tran esta siempre inspirada, que Ma
dal tiene mucha gracia y que la COM
panfa ha hecho una buena adquisici6n
con la seflorita Dueflo, porque la como
ce de antique.
Pero es precise decirle, no al publ
co que va 10 sabe sino al senior Gotos,
que tai vez no 10 sepa, porque no haya
encontrado quien Sc 10 olga, que debe
abaudonar la zarzuela, que debe dejar-
la en- absolute, 6 dedicarse hacer pa.
peles de menos importancia.
En- ell Ramon de ola Cara de Dios,
esta es inaguanta BILE. No tiene dido
no tiene voz.
Esto no es una crltica, es un avise
Un aviso la empresa y al sehor Co.

En- cambio, la sefera Mangual, sine

ST la hubiesemos visto Ell diferentes

como el que hizo anoche en- la hermo

Mangual.
