Making a Street of Roses.

The residents Of Thurman street are
taking the lead in the matter Of beau
tifying the city and earning Portland
the right to be entitled the City Of
Roses. Several hundred rose bushes
have been planted in the space between
the sidewalk and property line, and
only one person has yet objected to
this.
This scheme for identifying the city
has been tried OH a small scale on sew
eral street, but this movement Oh Thur
man street is the first concentrated
The practicability Of the scheme has
been doubted by some, who imagine
that dogs, horses, occasional stray cat
tie and more especially gangs of stray
hoodlums, will be likely to wreck or
destroy the rose bushes, or, at least,
strip them of their blossoms. and pre-
vent them from becoming the Orna-
ments intended.
According to Mr.. Hoyt's statements.
there is no danger of this, and the boys
have been engaged to foster and pro-
tect the bushes. If they fulfill this
promise the good effect of the work on
them in teaching them to respect the
rights and property Of others or of the
public, and take a pride in identifying
the city, will amply repay all the cost
of planting the bushes.-Portiand Ore

the orator is probably as excited as
his opponents; is exchanging hot
words with some deputy, even shak-

tribune the Journalists rejoice. and
add to the din with mocking cries.
However, M. Bourgeois has been for

side-Door Cars.

A new type of side-door passenger
car has recently been put into use for
suburban traffic on the Illinois Central
Railroad. There are twelve sliding
doors on each side of the car, every
door being opposite to a section Of
eight seats running crosswise, with
aisles on each side just within the
doors. running the entire length of the
ear. The opening and shutting of the
doors is effected by mechanism con-
cealed in the side walls, and under con-
troll Of the trainman in charge of the
car. The doors can be opened or closed
all together or separately as may be
desired. 1t is claimed for the new cars
that they prevent crowding Of passen-
gers on the waiting platforms, while
they can be loaded and unloaded with
great rapidity. Their carrying capac-
ity is also greater than that of the
standard end-door car.

stepped hastily and timidly from his
carefully disguised saloon carriage and
drove between thousands of soldiers
and policemen, who hardly left room
for a thin line of spectators, to Schon-

at luncheon for his departure. Then
away again, between sabres. rifles and
bayonets to another railway station,
away to the hunting district of Murz-
steg, where gendarmes and detectives
awaited with quaking hearts the AZ
rival of II of the richest and might
lest rulers of this world, whose life is
so hard to protect.
Some weeks agt another mighty
King came to Vienna, a counterpart of
the ruler who had just driven by-King
Edward VII. of England. The masses
streamed to the railway station to see
the interesting guest. Through 4 thick
crowd of human beings waving vel
come, a crowd not squeezed against the
walls by soldiers. this King drove
through the streets of our city to Hot
burg. He went everywhere, freely and
fearlessiy; he even allowed himself
visits to the Jockey Club, not included
in the program, and suited his acts to
his mood. as though he were an ordi-
nary mortal.
Then came the Emperor William.
Vienna greeted him also heartily in her
streets. He also drove in an open
carriage through the whole city, and
the soldiers who kept the route were
more a festive spectacle for the mill
tary minded Kaiser than a protection.
He sat in a theatre and drove On Sun
day to service in his church. He also
felt himself safe in Vienna.
