opens up possibilities in the utilization
of many wasted spaces on the top Of
London buildings. If 1t proves a sue
cess the metropolis may soon be
graced with many similar attractions.
The site of the building was formerly
a private garden. belonging to HI

ton obtained permission to build upon
it, on condition hat they made and
undertook to maintain q roof garden
which should always be kept open to
the public between sunrise and sunset.
The architect has so arranged the
building h a the roof garden is only
eight feet above the pavement. This
was done by the ingeniously simple
method of putting the greater part Of
the engine room underground.
The garden is entered by flights of
steps on either side of two magnificent
pavilions placed at ~each.end, and is
bordered by a handsome stone railing.
The whole structure is built of Port
land stone, n the actual extent of the
open space available for the public
will be about $50 feet by 60 feet.
Among the attractions of the garden
will be an ornamental fountain, while
fowerbeds will be kept gay with color
from early spring to autumn, with
trees, growing in tubs, to complete the
picture.
Seats. Of course. will be provided,
and Westminster's garden in the air.

New York, Sept. 12--Chairman Shonts
of the Panama canal commission has
announced that he has awarded a con-

greater part of the canal employees to j.

The amount involved in the contract,
which cover a period of FIVE years and

that this action might invalidate any
award to Mr.. Markell by leaving only
one bidder. In a statement given out

Panama contract involves no less than

that his principal required an answer

In their telegram to President Roose-
Welt, Hudgins s. Dumas say:
circumstances connected with the
awarding of this privilege seem to in

our bid having, as we discovered by
examination yesterday, been credited
to Mr.. Markell as an original produce

chamus, who resides in New York
.ly, had an interview with Mr.. Barnes,
assistant secretary to the president.
He desired to see the president and
talk with him about the price Of coal.
He said he was the general coal agent
of Greater New York. There was inn
minent danger, in his opinion, of a
strike among the miners in the anthra-
cite coal region of Pennsylvania and
the strike, he vas assured, would result
in great hardship for the people of the
country. He wanted ten minutes with
the president to tell him to appoint a
committee of three men who should
regulate the output of the coal sup
ply SO as to provide the poor with fuel
at fair prices. n@1a
Secretary Barnes recognized at once
that Schamus was the man who had re,

Washington, Sept. PA fraud
order issued this week against Natures
Health Restorer, a cure-all medicine
manufactured in Cincinnati, marks a
radical departure in the policy Of he

The postoHce department purchased
q bottle of Natures Health Restorer

Upon this finding Postmaster General
Cortelyou called on Mr.. Burkardt to
show why an order of fraud should not
be Issued against this great panacea.
Mr.. Burkardt responded by giving the
testimony OF two Cincinnati doctors.
But his was not satisfactory to the
postmaster general, and inspectors were
instructed to investigate the character
and standing OF the professional wit

doctors were regular practitioners, in
the opinion Of the inspectors. and that
they were not competent to testify in
the case.

tends to treat all patent medicines in
the same manner as he has Natures
Health Restorer. he is entering upon a
wide field of Investigation, He will in
ell probability have the hearty sup
port and cooperation Of the regular
~practicing physicians. but he. will have
to deal with q powerful influence: Pro-
p~rIetors of patent medicines and prep

physicians do not allow. and there Is
q great deal OF difference Of opinion
among recognized physicians as to the

This new crusade OF tho postmaster
general is apt to create a bitter dis

her wounded feelings under a haughtily

She gave the assertion a triple pune

sympathetic Margaret. Not being ac-
quainted with the species, she could
scarcely commit herself until further
enlightened.

throwing herself recklessly upon the
divan and thereby imperiling the yell
