Where German Towns Excel.

Towns which half century age
were famous only for their galleries OF
their picturesque medieval survivals
are now great hives of artisans. This
change did not come to Germany, as
1t came to England, when municipal
science was in its infancy; and so in
Germany we see industry developing
from the start under the most scien
tific conditions.
Mr.. Low is chiefly struck by the ct
forts OF German authorities to make
all parts of their cities agreeable tc
live in, and he thinks their municipal
government the most efficient to be
found anywhere. Our own public
health system is better and oui
method of paving greatly superior, but
the level of apparent comfort in Ger
many is far higher. There are nc
such contrasts as between Piccadilly
and Poplar.
The lot of the German workingman
may be really harder one, what
with the high price of food and eXor-
bitant rents, but at least he has an en-
vironment free from the worst kind

begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely

months ago, and all my ills, the indi-

from Charles Raynard, secretary OF
the American Club of the Isle of Pines,
asking information in regard to the
necessary form Of procedure to estab-
lish a territorial form of government

Root wrote:
There is no procedure by which you

tablish a territorial government

lawfully subject to the control and gov
ernment of the republic of Cuba, and
you and your associates are bound to
render obedience to the laws of that
country so long as you remain in the

greater power in the future. The

The striking telegraphers threaten in

to destroy the government lines.
Military disturbances are occurring
in the government of Lomzha. At
Zembroff the army reserve men have
mutinied, demanding to be returned
home. Troops were sent from LON

they will not shoot their comrades if

made at their meetings calling on the

embassies of military outbreaks in the

No additional details of the con

prevalent.

The air is also filled with stories o
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris il
said TO have attempted the life of thu
Emperor. These stories likewise arr
untrue, but they prove that revolu

BILE at any time.
Count Witte continues to refuse tt

that for the government to yield woul'

Thrown at Presidents Train,

Westinghouse President Roose.
veits special train was passing
through North Philadelphia at 1880
Saturday evening. en- route to Wash
ington, some unknown person hurled
mason's plumb-bob through one of
the windows. The implement was of
iron and weighed about two and a half
pounds. 1t fell at the feet of Major
Webb Hayes, son of the late Pres
ident Hayes. who was a passenger on
the train. Fragments of broken glass
fell on Major Hayes, but he was in no
way injured. The car was in the for
ward part of the train and might easily
have been taken for the Presidents S
private car. Major Hayes was sitting
at the window. A profile of him is not
unlike that of the President No clue
to the thrower Of the missile was OBJ
tained. The President himself knew
nothing of the matter until nearly an
hour after 1t occurred
Railroad officials are inclined to the
belief that the plumb-bob was thrown
by some boy, as incidents of similar
character have occurred before at
about the same time.

plished at the conference held at the
Public Library building Tuesday, at
which were present the library COM
mission, the special committee from
the chamber of commerce, commit
tee from the Denver Manufacturers S
Association. stone quarry men, CON
tractors and delegation from the
sandstone cutters union. 1t was dem
onstrated beyond cavil, that Colorado
has the stone necessary to build a
hundred library buildings of marble,
granite or sandstone, that the stone
contractors of the state were in com
bine, and that the commission adopted
plans for building that were de-
signed to be antagonistic TO the use of
Colorado stone. But it is now proba'
BILE that Colorado stone will be used.
Three samples of stone from the lot
of Colorado material submitted to the
commission were favored-white sand
stone from the Almont quarries, Gun
nison county: white sandstone from
the Turkey Creek quarries near Pu
eblo, and a pink lava stone from Del
Norte. Samples of beautiful marble
from the Crystal River quarries, neal
Redstone, We're admired by all, and il
the stone could be had in sufficient
quantities, and the money on hand
were sufficient to pay for the dressing
it was felt by the artists and the ex
perts that glorius building could be
built. Perhaps. should the auditorium
fund be available with the library
commission amount, marble could be
used for the colonnade and frontage
At any rate, Denver architect will be
engaged by the commission to rear
range the present designs should the
library building be separate.

Havana. = The political agitation
which began six months ago with the
convention of the Liberal party and
which has dwindled since the with
drawal of Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez,
the presidential candidate named by
that convention, ended Friday in an
election that was so quiet and uninter-
esting as to cause scarcely a ripple of
excitement.
The withdrawal of the Liberals from
all nominations as protest against al
legged injustices by the government and
the people in conducting the primaries
left clear field for the Moderates and
every Moderate nominee was elected,
from President Palma to the provincial
