Gen. Francis II. Harrington. U. s.

of his daughter, Mrs. Newton Hall, at

Harrington and Mrs. Waldo Hibbs. his

Harrington is in a critical condition and
little hope is entertained OF his recov-
cry. This is the second stroke General
Harrington has had and IL is proving
far more serious than the previous at
ing.
General and Mrs. Harrington have
been South some weeks. They went
TO New Orleans for a visit to their
daughter. Mrs. Hall, whose husband,
Captain Hall, is stationed at Al giers,
the New Orleans naval station. The

F|RE-ESCAPE LAW
GENERAL QUARRY
Board of Trade Will Hold
Meeting Tuesday.
INVESTIGATION THIS WEEK
Business Mems Committee Going After
Passage of Measure With Big
Question Marx.
THIS WEEK

The recent fre-escape law will be
discussed at a special meeting of the
executive committee OF the Board of
Trade Tuesday afternoon. At the regu-
lar meeting OF the Board of Trade last
Wednesday night. the fire-escape law
was considered, but in view OF the slight
information obtainable al that time no
action was taken beyond instructing
the executive committee TO investigate
the matter.
Gen. John NJ. Wilson. president OF the
Board OF Trade. has invited John Weay-
1T. who spoke before the meeting We'd
nesday night on the law, TO appear be-
fore the executive committee and @ex-
press his views. One or two other per
sons interested in the matter Will also
be present.
THE committee of three appointed by
the Business Mems Association Friday
night will start this week TO tnyesti-
gate the question thoroughly. The at
tftude OF the association is one of sur
prise that such a law. which II was
urged at the meeting would work a
great hardship upon hundreds of Dis
frfct people, could have slipped through
Congress without the slightest mention
of the matter being made by the Com
missioners or others who should have
kept posted on the progress OF District
legislation.

CONF ERENCE HELD
ON TARIFF REVISION
Bay State Wants Change in

NO AGREEMENT ON POLICY

gered by Free Hides
Rider.

What IS considered the first effort at
formal protest against the Payne pro-
nunciamento that there shall be no
tariff revision at this session OF Con-
eress comes from Massachusetts.
The Bay State delegation had con-
ference yesterday at which, despite a
mystery that hung over the proceedings,
81 became known the tariff was dis
cussed. Mr.. Mccall is understood to
have been the prime mover for the con-
ference. He wants the tariff TO get
some consideration. and wants il as soon
AS possible. Sentiment I'm Massachu-
sets has been drifting rapidly toward
the general condition which il had al
ready reached in the Overwhelmingly
Republican States of the Middle West.
The protest against certain schedules
that are considered excessive. and the
demand for free raw materials. consti-
tute the chief factors in the tariff agi-
tatior on the Republican side of the
party line. The Western Republicans
are against the lumber and steel and
some other schedules; the Fasteners
want cheaper raw materials.
No Agreement Reached.
Yesterdays meeting of the Massachu-
sets peonIe did not develop an agree
ment as TO a line OF policy. Whist is
wanted is TO force some substantial
recognition OF the revision demand, that
may be construed. during the coming
campaign, as an earnest of the party 5

REFRIGERATOR RULES.

Use clean. fiat dishes to hold what
ever is on the lower shelves.
Buy your ice in pieces as large as
can be accommodated. This is much
more economical than to buy small
ones.
Be careful not to fill dishes too full
so that they will spill over. If any
thing is spilled, don't fail to wipe it up
Immediately.
Pack the ice we'll together and do
not wrap it in paper or cloths; instead
keep the door of the ice chamber shut
as much as possible.
Do not put food of any sort directly
on the ice. If it is absolutely neces-
sary TO place il near the ice, see that it
is in glass or porcelain.
Empty the refrigerator at least once
a week; scrub the interior thoroughly,
then scald the ice chamber and drain
pipe with boiling water in which
lump of soda has been dissolved; fol
low this with clear boiling water; wipe
dry and let it air for twenty minutes.

AZTEC ARCHITECTURE
Wonderful Endurance of the Old
Mexican Buildings.

Mexican Buildings.
The Mexicans or the Aztec Indians
can give the people of the United
States lessons in architecture and in
solid construction of buildings. There
are buildings standing today in the
City of Mexico that have stood for
three centuries and are in an excellent
state of preservation. There is not a
frame building in the city. There are
q few adobe, but most all are stone,
brick or cement. There is brick
building down in the old part of the
town that was erected prior to 14o0.
1t shows that so long ago as that the
Indians were experts in the manufac-
ture of bricks. But probably so per
cent of all the buildings are made of
concrete cement. Cement and concrete
have been used successfully in Mexico
for 500 years, and all the cathedrals
and churches are of that material. On
the hne of the Vera Cruz Pacific can
be seen the ruins of Toro Bravo where
there are evidences of city ruined
centuries ago. There are some twenty
pyramids of solid cement which must
have been erected over 500 years ago.
One of these pyramids is 10 feet in
height, and on the summit rests a
cement ledge thirty feet in diameter.
This, as well as others, is of filigree
work and carved statuary.
Near this stands another of white
limestone, built in four terraces, with
carvings and ornamentations which
would put to shame the modern Amer
lean sculptor. 1t has stood all these
centuries, yet the limestone IS much
easier broken than the cement. Think
of town of almost 100000 persons,
and the fire record is three in one year.
The inside walls of many of the build
ings are as much as six feet through,
and all buildings are built around
courts. There is no provision in any
of them for fires, and at the present
time small coal oil stoves are selling
in the city for $20-the same that sell
for So in the states. The floors are of
stone, the ceilings of filigree cement,
the walls of coarse plaster and almost
without exception hand painted. The
architecture on many buildings in the
republic shows that the Indian of cen
turtles ago was ahead of the modern
builder of today. - Hobart News-Re-
publican.

Insanity Increasing?

The census bureau in bulletin to
be issued shortly will show that insan-
ity is increasing at an alarming rate
that since the census of 1900 the num-
Der in hospitals for the insane in the
United States has more than doubled.
The cost of maintaining the insane
of the United States in public institu-
tions is now approximately $21,000.00
annually The increase in the number
of insane in the hospitals for every one
hundred thousand of the population
was not confined to any particular sec
ton CT the country, for between 1896
and 1908 there was an increase in the
ratio in each state and territory. In
many states. particularly in the south
err states, the ratio is still small, part
Iy Lccause hospital facilities are made
quatc and partly because some classes
of t. -Iation have an aversion to
the hospitals. The number of the in
sane admitted to the hospitals during
1901, added to the number of Dec. 81,
1908, makes total of 1878 insane
persons present in hospitals during the.

The Right Tonic.

There is no medicine or compound of
medicines that will cure all the ills of
the human body, nor is there any pana-
cea for sick and ailing businesses.
There are some diseases of trade that
cannot be cOmbated even with publ
city, the nearest approach to a COM
mercial cure-all. But where a tonic is
needed advertising is Indispensable.
Small doses are efficaciOus for small es-
Establishments.
The idea of some of the little fellows
in business that advertising is not for
them because they cannot afford to
take it by the bucketful instead of by
the teaspoonful is erroneous. They
have only TO take the right brand, in
quantities proportional to their means
and requirements. to grow to the buck
etful stage.
The newspaper brand is best.

why Perfect Beer
Means Health
The Best Beer Is Possible Only With
Eight-Day Malta Scientific Fact
About Brewing.

A perfect beer is healthful-it builds
up strength, aids digestion, and acts
a tonic in giving renewed vitality. A
perfect beer is possible only with perfect
malt, and n perfect malt can only be
made by the eight-day process used by
Pabst
Malt is made from barley. Barley.
contains in its Elementary form the
constituents that go to build up the
human system. The process of making
malt, as some of our readers may
know, is much the same as the process
of digestion. The grain is started

in making malt to bring about those

malt is of forced, unnatural develop

ments of the grain.

Congressman Cyrus A Sulloway of
New Hampshire has a well deserved
reputation of being the champion politi-
cal wobbler of the east. He has stump
ed his state as republican. greenbacker,
and democrat Some time ago he was
waiting for his train in his home town
OF Manchester when a constituent
came up and congratulated him on
having been right on every political
question for the past 20 years The
tall congressman was plainly gratified
at this handsome compliment and
arose to his full height as he grasped
the hand of the gentleman from Barn
stead and proudly inquired: My dear
sir, do you really think that | have
been, absolutely right upon all the
great questions of the past 20 years?'
Sure of it, was the response, for

tions OF the day" "Cy" folded himself

number 69,622, or "a per cent, were
admitted during the year, 14,434, or Z
per cent died, and 1924, or IL per cent
were discharged
The number of insane males in hos
pitfalls was 20,635 in 1880, 1880 in
1890. and 1888 on Dec. 81, 1903. The
number of insane females was 20,307
in 1880. 35.69S in 1890, AID 71,62S on
Dec. 81. 1903. While the ratio is in
creasing for each sex, it is increasing
faster among males than among fe-
males and this condition suggests that
in the country as a whole the tendency
toward insanity is greater among men
than among women.
There is nothing in the advance
sheets of the bulletin to in dicate the
cause of this increase. One might con-
clude. ON the surface, that it was we
were going at too rapid a gait-that
we were living too fast, but this theory
does not hold. because it is shown that
of the insane in hospitals whose form
er occupations could be ascertained, Al
per cent had been employed as labor
ers and servants. % per cent had been
employed in agriculture, transporta-
ton and other outdoor pursuits, and 16
per cent had been engaged in manufac-
turing and mechanical industries. Six

been servants: nearly z per cent had
been dressmakers. and almost per

Among the sayings attributed to Doug
las Jerrold is a very bitter one he ap-
piled to Mark Lemon, then editor of
Punch. Lemon was deeply attached to
Dickens and showed it In a very open
fashion, which perhaps aroused the
great satirist's jealousy. AT all events,
as Jerrold was walking out one day
with Lemon and another friend, and
Dickens with several more behind
them, Lemon suddenly dropped away
and turned back. What has become

Liberty, Equality, FRATERNITY.

The French philosopher NJ. lie Bon,
commenting on the motto of the revo-
luton, Liberty, Equality and Frater-
nifty" declared that the real difference
between the French and the British lay
in the fact that the French were enam-
ored of equality and cared little for
liberty, while the British insisted on
liberty and never gave a thought to
equality. And when some one quoted
this to Rudyard Kipllng he instantly
added his own comment to the effect
that what the American really pre-
ferred was fraternity. "He is good
fellow himself, and he expects you to
be one"
