fat at 5000 or $3.50 in a moderately
good situation.
On the other hand, such apartments
are usually unprovided with modern
conveniences. There is no bath room,
there are no hot water taps, except in
the kitchen. The stairs are badly kept
and i'll lighted, ard there is little at
tempt at tasteful decorations, unless
the house happenes to be an old one
with frescoed walls. Electric light is,
however, coming into use, and cleo
trio bells are almost universal. Lifts
are very rare and only found in large
and expensive flats. In Florence there
are hardly any except in the public
buildings and hotels. The rent includes
water and all repairs. The amount
of the latter, of course, depends good
deal on the virtues of the landlord.
Good italian servants are the best
in the world, for no others show so
much consideration for their master,
for whom they often entertain gen.
uine affection. They have no high and
mighty airs; they do not give notice"
if they are requested to do some work
not quite strictly within their situa-
lions every three months. One family
will keep one resident servant, .who
cooks and attends to most of the house
work, and mezza service, or char
woman, who comes in for few hours
every day or two or three times a,
week. The general receives from Is
to rs lire O2s to ED a month, and
there is food and an allowance for
wine-which is italian. is necessity
rather than a luxury, and not an ex-
pensive item. The total cost per an
mum for servants amounts in this case
to $50 lire (e1S). r
A frugality in contrast to our luxur-
ious living marks the italian board.

"a PEASANTS DREAM"
EXCELLENT SERMON ON THE
C0NOUERoR.

Rev. Mr.. Kidd breaches ON Mans way
of Conquest and God's-The Painting
''The Observation-Disclosures HAfan of
GaliIee" With Alexander--The DIFF
ference in the Conquests-The Peas
ants Dream Comes True.
At the service in Trinity M. E.
church last evening, the pastor, Rev.
w. H. Kidd, preached on the subject,
"a Peasants Dream of Sovereignty"
taking his text from the gospel of st.
John, twelfth chapter and thirty-sec-
ond verse.
1.-THE great are those who usually oc-
cupy the center of the stage" said the
preacher in beginning his remarks. He
then described the great painting Of
1.-THE Conquerors," which he used to
represent one phase of human ambi
tion. The canvas represents the few
great conquerers of history, Semiram-
Is, Sestos, Alexander, Caesar Charlie
magne, Napoleon and some others rid
ing down the field in full war panopiy,
while far and near along the highway
lay the countless multitudes by whose
death these few have risen to great
ness AT the cost-of these lives they
rose.
He then contrasted the life Of Jesus
Christ with the conquerors, taking
Alexander as concrete illustration.
Coming from an insignificant, provin-
cial, wicked city, and from a lowly
family of that city; scorned by his
parents and neighbors, despised and
rejected he had ambitions and aspira-
tons. He looked out into the world
and dreamed. If ever there was a
dream with no foundation it was that
of this peasant of Galilee. The con,
querors founded their power on ruin,
blood and death. The man of Galilee
would rule over all the world and for
all eternity. Alexander's empire was
divided and his power scattered a year
after his death. This man says moth
ing of ruling over humanity by the
sword. He said, IF / be lifted UP, /
will draw men unto me-" And for how
long? For eternity.
But what is the cost. This Is the
strangest part Of the dream that the
prize is himself. 1t must be dream.
1t isn't human. Men have never been
raised to high estate or to throne in
this way Where is there a man who
has said, "Give me a throne but first
kill me; give me high authority, but
first take my life?"
Gods ways are not mans. Man
rises ITO power at the expense Of his
fellowmen, to fame at the price Of
blood. God lifts man to grace. God
does for man at his own cost. Gods
way is to rise to power, to sovereignty
by coming Own.
In closing Rev. Mr.. Kidd pictured
Christ upon the cross drawing the
world unto him, the conqueror above
all others. There are no slain. All the
multitude thronging to him are joyous.
He that died lives. The PEASANTS
dream has come true.

CLEVELAND, o., July S1.-There
will be no pool selling in Glenville
this week. Mayor Johnson returned
home this morning and issued state
ment that the selling Of pools would
be prohibited. Chief of Police Kohler
will be instructed to carry out the will
of the mayor.
This decision probably means that
there will be no more grand circuit
races in Cleveland after the present
meeting. Officials of the Cleveland
Driving Park Company have stated
that the track would be abandoned IL
pool selling were not allowed, claim
ing that pools were necessary for the
support of the track.
Mayor Johnson said to-day: 1.-THE
track having been closed to pool sell
ing for the past two years, l do not
wish TO change the order of things. I
do not wish to go contrary to the de-
cision of the Ohio Legislature.
therefore, shall prevent the selling
Of POOLS"
Chief Kohler announced this morn
ing that he would prevent pool SELL
ing.
He will personally superintend mat
tiers at the track and will be aided by
a large force of uniformed and plain
clothes men.

Fairmont has sold its water works
bonds at par and finds that it has to
pay four or I'VE thousand dollars ex-
change and commission from that
amount on them. Clarksburg sells
its school bonds for handsome
premium above par and doesn't
have to pay exchange or commission
but gets the whole amount of cold
cash. The same firm purchased both
bond issues. 1t is thus evident that
Clarksburg stands higher in the es.
timation Of the commercial world
than does ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
II clarksburg stands higher in the
estimation Of anything than Fairmont
does i is in the estimation of Clarks-
burg itself. The bond purchasers saw
that Clarksburg was rather diminu,
tive looking place, and for that reason
they took pity on It and would not ex.
act a commission from it. Thus from
its appearance on the map as well as
from its rating in the census report,
1t derives benefits that are never

REVISION COMPLETED.
Work on Philndelphia's Voting Lists
 Has Been Completed.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.--The assessors of the 1.IO4 election divisions of the city whose duty 1t is to place on the voting lists the names of all qualified electors, completed their revision of the lists today.
 Unusual interest was taken in their work because ot the allegations that more than 1000 fraudulent names had been placed on the lists. For the last two months policemen and other city employees, under the direction of Mayor Weaver and the city party, have been making a canvass of the city for the purpose of purglng the lists of Illegal voters The police made reports alleg- ing that more than 60,000 names were on the lists in violation of the election law.
 In all divisions where alleged fraudu- lent names were found the assessors were requested to strike them of. In most cases they complied with the re- quest, but in many instances they re- fused to drop names without satisfac- tory proof, and 1t Is probable that some of the assessors will be compelled to appear in court to show cause why they refused to strike off fraudulent names. The number of names stricken off by the assessors will not be known for several days. The secretary of the city party tonight estimated that at least 4S.000 names had been dropped It is estimated that about 25.000 or 3O,- 900 new names will be added to the lists. Most of the new names are those persons who moved from one division to another and whose names were dropped from the list where they formerly lived.
