Gems Of Architectural Art.
nave told you about the splendid pal
aces, temples and tombs that are to be
found In northern India, unequaled exam
pies of the architectural and decorative
arts. Nothing more beautiful has ever been
quilt by human hands or more costly than
the residences and the sepulchers of the
moguls, while their audience chambers,
their baths and pavilions are not surpassed
and are not ever equaled in any of the i'm
perial capitals of Europe. The oriental
artists and architects of the Mohammedan
dynasties lavished money upon their homes
and tombs in the most generous manner,
and the refinement OF their taste was equal
to their extravaganza. And where do you
suppose they obtained all the money for
these buildings. which cost millions upon
millions of dollars?s The architectural re-
mains of Akbar and Shah Jehan. the two
most splendid of the moguls, represent an
expenditure of several hundred millions,
even though the labor OF construction was
unpaid, and where, did they get the funds
to pay for them? Lieutenant Governor La
Touche of this province.i who has been col
lecting the records of the mogul dynasty
and having them carefully examined, dis
covers that their revenues averaged about
500, 600. 900 a year for a hundred years or
more. In 1864 the land taxes amounted to
EGG, 743, 900 sterling. In 1865 they amounted
to R24 ,056,000, while in3t21697, during the
reign of the Mogul Aurargzib, they reached
their highest figure, which was s3s, 719. 600.
With these funds they were required to
keep up their palaces, pay their officials,
maintain their armies and provide for the
luxurious tastes of their courtiers.
The Hotels.
AS I told you yesterday. the hotels at
uckno are considered the best in India
and are really good. Before he comes here
every traveller hears a great deal Of talk
about the miserable accommodations he will
have to put up with, and, while they are
primitive n sometimes dirty, they are
not SO bad as they are usually represented
to be.
Another common mistake is hat Indian
hotel prices are low. They are just as
high as anywhere else in the world for the
accommodations. I have noticed that wher-
ever you go the same amount of luxury
and comfort costs about the same amount
Of money. You pay for all you get In an
Indian hotel. The service is bad because
travellers are expected to bring their own
servants to answer their calls, to look after
their rooms and make their beds. and in
some places to walt on them In the dining

The accident occurred near the corner
of Washington and Ashland streets.
An inward bound Walpole car of the
Boston Elevated Railway Co. ran into
an open switch and crashed into an
outward bound Dedham car of the
same company.
At this part of the line the cars run
on double tracks. but at frequent in

but fortunately there were no passen-
gers on the running boards.
An instant after the crash the fuse
on the inward bound car blew out with
Il loud report. flames flashed up and
both cars were enveloped in a cloud of
smoke. Nearly all the passengers had
been unnerved by the shock of the col
lision, and the flash of fire and clouds
of smoke added to their terror and eX-
element. Women screamed and faint

WaterviIIe CoIIesians Not in Contest
With Cambridge Boys.

Cambridge, Mass, May 22.-Colby was
no match for the Harvard team, yester-
day afternoon. for the Maine college
the Crimson bali players. Clarkson was
in the points for Harvard and he had the
visitors at his mercy all during the con-
test, and he was given some excellent
support by the boys behind him.
Coombs did the pitching work for Colby
and he was touched up quite freely by the
inning in which at least one hit was not
made off him. His support was ragged
and he was lucky to get out of the game
with only seven runs being scored off
him. In the second inning. with no one
out and men on second and third. he pre-
vented Crimson from scoring, and in the
sixth. with two men on bases and no one
out. he did not allow the Crimson nine
to score.
There was one little trick by Craig in
the third inning which put the third base

Definite action was not taken until
late in the day. Prior to this NJ Nisard
has been directed to endeavor to Sc .
cure from the Vatican authentic in
formation relative to the protest fo:-
warded to the powers.
1t is understood that the interview
between the ambassador and the Papal
authorities was not satisfactory, not
giving complete information in the
matter, and therefore the recall with
out further delay was decided upon.
The governments program, it is said,
in an authoritative quarter, is as fol-

m. Nisards leave will be indefinite,
but no further steps are contemplated
at present unless Parliament. directs
that further action be taken. Efforts
are being made to induce the premier

German Socialists succeeded i'm secur-

Among the cardinals there is much

and condemnation is expressed of the
way in which he has brought about
an almost official rupture with France.

LEAVES ROME.
French Ambassador Will Go on Long
Vacation.

Rome, May 22.-M. Nisard, the
French ambassador to the Vatican,
acting under instructions from Paris
left Rome. last night, for an unlimited
vacation as Il protest against what
France considers the indicate atti-
tude of the Vatican in compiling two
different notes concerning the visit of
President Loubet to Rome.
A long conference was held, yeSter-
day morning, between NJ. Nisard and
Cardinal Merry del Val, the Paral Sec
etary of state. The cardinal declined
to answer the questions of M. Nisard
as to the authenticity of the copy re-

Paris of the Popes protest to the Cath
Ole powers against the alleged slight
put upon His Holiness by President
Loubet. The interview is said to have
become stormy.
The Pope is said to be fearless of
the consequences that may follow upon
his issue of the protest, rs his act was
dictated by Il sense of DUTY.
The Pope is worried over the conflict
between the Vatican and France. Yes
terday, he suspended all public and
private audiences and conferred with
the Papal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val. who repeated to him
what he had said to M. Nisard. He
said France had misunderstood his in
tention and that he had omitted the
phrase regarding the recall of the nun
clio from the note to France out of re-
gard to that republic. while he inserted
it in the notes to the other govern
ments.
The missing phrase emphasized the
firm determination of the Papacy to
prevent Catholic sovereigns from COM
ing to Rome as guests of the King of
Italy.
NJ. Nisard expressed to the cardinal
his regret that he was unable to dis
cuss the case. the instructions from
his government being to leave Rome
after he had ascertained officially the
difference between the note to France
and those to the other powers.
Active inquiries are being made to
find out how L'Humanite received the
note. 1t is generally believed that the

WOMAN THE CAUSE.
Shooting of George H. Taylor at Can
ton, Ohio.

Canton, Ohio. May 22-George H.
Taylor. aged about SO, single, was shot
and almost instantly killed at his store,
the American Wooden mills, soon after
midnight. Some time after closing ne
returned to the store for an overcoat.
He was shot at the door by some one
just inside or in the vestibule. y
About all he said before he died was
that n woman did it. Police are looking
after a recently discharged woman
employee.
Grace Battorf, who says she is the
wife of George H. Taylor, manager of
the American Wooden Mills Co. tailors,
who was murdered in his store soon
ifter midnight this morning, is in Jail
on suspicion of being the murderess.
Circumstantial evidence points against
her is that she quarrelled with Taylor,
Thursday, and was discharged from
employment with the company. She ad-
mits that when he said he would shoot
her if she bothered him any more that
she replied: Not if 1 shoot you first"
She claimed to be Taylor's legiti-
mate wife, but repeatedly said their
marriage ceremony was a mere mock
cry and was performed in n Cleveland
hotel in March of last year by fake,
minister.
Another woman, Lillian Taylor,
claiming to be Taylor's real Wife, in
voked the aid of the local police several
weeks ago, asking that Taylor be shad-
dowed with reference to his relations
with other women and a document
found in Taylor's room by inference ac-

fatal shot was fired by some one who
entered the store after it. had been
closed for the night and was there when
Taylor returned for his overcoat is con-
coded, but whether this person was a
burglar or not the authorities disagree.
