Good Things Misapplied.

None Of the period styles are in
themselves in bad taste, but any style
can become in bad taste if improperly
used. The worse taste, however, Is
probably found in the use of strident
decoration that mixes two or more
proper knowledge Of either. The prime
evidences Of bad taste are the use Of
too heavy and too voluptuous ornamen-
tation in small rooms; the desire to
make a room seem more expensive than
it really is.

Curious Origin Of Stained Glass.
It is not generally known that the
original Inspiration that led the monks
of the middle ages to invent stained
glass windows was derived from car
pets, but such is the fact, and it is also
true that the original stained-glass win-
dows were merely copies of carpet de-
signs. Before the use of glass, and even
before its manufacture was known gen
orally, the monks of Europe built great
cathedrals, with large doors and win
dows, and in the windows, to keep out
cold and rain. great carpets Of the
| orient were hung. It was natural,
therefore, when glass-making and glass
| painting became generally known, that
! the monks should merely reproduce the
designs which had SO long been familiar
to them as window draperies, and it is
quite probable that all our window
draperies Of today are merely a survi-
val of the old custom of hanging car
pets at the window. The carpets were
later superseded by figured tapestries,
| just as the carpet figures in the win
dows gave way to stained-glass saints
and madonnas.

MAY RENEW CHICAGO STRIKE
Business Houses Take Stringent Ac-
ton Toward Strikers.

Chicago, July 24.-At mass meet
ing of employers held this afternoon,
at which representatives of over 200
business houses were present, it was
decided that no more of the teamsters
who have been on strike wuold be re-
instated until all the unions have call
ed off the strike.
The action taken by the employers
association may result in giving new
lease Of life to the teamsters' strike.
As soon as the stand taken by the
employers had been made known to the
unions q meeting Of the teamster' joint
council was called for Tuesday night
to consider ways and means of renew.
ing the fight should such a course be
decided upon.
The teamsters are in q belligerent
mood, and threats are freely made that
unless the employers recede from their
position there will be general strike
of all the union teamsters in Chicago.
This would mean tho calling out of
35, 900 men, whereas but 5000 were in
volved in the strike which was recent
ly declared at an end by the Transfers
Joint council.

HER PENSION CEASES.
Mrs. Hyde's $25, 1000 Year From the
Equitable Cut Off.

New York-The $4,000 a year pen.
sion money which Mrs. Henry B.
Hyde, mother of James Hazen Hyde
and widow of the founder of the Equit.
able Life Assurance society, has re-
ceived from the society since the
death of her husband, has been cut
off by Paul Morton, new chairman of
the board of directors.
The stopping of this pension was
part of Morton's general scheme Of
retrenchment and he carried it out in
spite of the greatest pressure. Every
effort was made to get Morton to leave
this gratuity on the books, but he re-
fused, saying the time for sentiment
had passed, and wiped off the account.
There are still few shares of
Equitable stock held by Mrs. Hyde
and this and James Hyde's position on
the board of directors are all that is
left of the Hyde influence in the So
ciety. 1t is practically nil. Mrs. Hyde
will not be seriously Inconvenience
by this action of Morton. She is a
very wealthy woman anyway and her
sons fortune, aside from $2,500,00O he
got from T. F. Ryan for the stock con-
troll of the society, is considerable.

ing doctor, are terrOiZing inhabitants
of the town, who have been living in
fear of their lives. A few days ago
DR.. Arnold, an elleged eye doctor from
Montana, came to town selling eye
medicine. To attract attention to his
wares the doctor brought with him a
collection of freaks, among them be-
ing snake charmer with several
boxes of rattlesnakes. Because of hav-
ing no state license the doctor was
arrested, fined $50 and sent to Jail for
a week. ~
Upon being liberated he found that
his freaks had all disappeared. the
snake charmer leaving behind his col
lection of full grown snakes. About
dark the doctor went into corner OF
the town and opened the doors of the
snake cages, permitting rs big rat
tiers to escape Arnold then got out
of town on horseback. An alarm was
soon spread and night of terror was
spent by citizens, who we're afraid to
leave their residences. Yesterday was
spent in killing snakes and today still
others were killed.

SWEPT
Piece OF NEVADA

Elkc, New. July 25.-'The most de-
stuctive tornado ever known to have
occurred in Nevada swept over the
country just west of Battle mountain.
1t travelled in southeasterly direction
and destroyed everything in its path.
Trees, sagebrush and lenses we've swept
away, and SO telegraph poles of the
Southern Pacific and the Western I'm
ion companies we're twisted into splin-
tiers. Its north end touched Battle
Mountain and carried away chimneys
and porches and violently shook build
ings, badly frightening the occupants.
A large windmill on the lawn of the
railroad hotel, in the west end Of town,
was picked up and carried to the top of
the hotel. 1t broke throuhg, badly
damaging the roof and one wall. No
persons were injured, but livestock in
the course of the cyclone is reported to
hrve been killed. Telegraphio COM
munication was put out Of commission
for many hours. The entire course of
the tornado was swept clean. It was
proba bly, due to the intense heat of the
past few days, the thermometer having
registered over 100 degrees.

WARSHIP Blown UP
The bennington lies BEACRED
AT San Diego, CALIFORNIA.
Forty.nine of Her Crew Were Killed
and Several Bodies Still Missing
Small Leak Discovered in Boiler
Was Being Repaired-Pres. Roose-
Welt Shocked-Wants Details.

San Diego, Cal, July 22.-Broken
and blackened, with her flag flying at
half mast, her hold filed with Is feet
of water, the steamship Bennington
lies beached on the shores of San Die
go harbor. Forty of her crew lie
dead at city morgues, the fate of II
more is as yet undetermined and three
score are stretched upon beds of pain
in various hospitals. This is the re-
suit of the explosion which wrecked
the trim little naval craft and wrought
such terrible havoc among her crew.
The placid waters of San Diego bay
have never before been the scene of
such a disaster and San Diego city has
never before been stirred by such a
scene of death and suffering as those
witnessed tonight.
The dead bodies lie ranged with
mOrgues. The stark forms are out
lined in immaculate winding sheets,
the terrible results of Scalding steam
upon the faces plainly showing, al
though hidden beneath the folds. The
face of every victim is SCARED and
scalded, in many cases almost beyond
recognition.
On board the Bennington the un-
harmed members of the crew worked
under great difficulties to reach the
boiler room and coal bunkers. where
it is believed a dozen bodies are lying
wedged in the wreckage or submerged
in the water which fills that part of
the vessel.
The appalling list of victims of the
explosion grew throughout the night,
almost every hour adding to the long
rows of dead in the overcrowded NOR
CUES. Forty-nine known dead is the
latest summary compiled. This in
cludes AZ bodies at the various NOR
CUES and seven bodies which are still
floating about in the flooded boiler
room and which can not yet be reach
ed.
The details of the explosion on the
Bennington, as ascertained by Com
mander Young, were received at the
navy department in long telegram
from the commander. 1t appears from
the telegram that small leak had
been discovered in boiler B and the
boilermaker was on his way to repair
it and was passing through the engine
room when the explosion occurred.
President Roosevelt was greatly
shocked at the news of the disaster
Beyond expressing his profound re-
greet, he chose, however, to reserve ex-
preston on the matter until he receiv-
ed complete details.

ment on the naval reservation at that
place Vessels of the Sigsbee and Da-

wheat MARKET
TAKES SLUMP

Chicago, July ga break of $50
in the price of wheat for July delivery
occurred here Monday. At the same
time the September option sold off go
at $40. Denial of sensational reports
of black dust damage to spring sown
crop caused the heavy profit taking
that resulted in the sharp declines.
The market closed weak, with Septem-
Der down 3 at $40 as compared with
final quotations Saturday. July wheat
shows loss of precisely &c.
The primary cause of the sharp reac-
ton was optimistic advices concerning
the condition of the wheat crop through
out the Dakotas and Minnesota. In
addition the weather in the northwest
was favorable to progress of the grow
ing crop and unfavorable for the spread
of black dust.
Another reason for the slump in
prices here was the demoralized condi-
ton of the wheat market at Minnea-
polls, the September option there show
ing at one time loss of about SC.
Fresh reports of rust were received
but they lacked definlteness. Bears
were given additional encouragement
by continued liberal movement of new
wheat in the southwest. After the
first rush to sell was over the market
held comparatively steady, the price
for September during the remainder of
the session being confined within 1c
range
