Architects nowadays are cultiyating
the fashion Of lmpressing their patrons
with their taste by having their Offices
In dwelling houses artistically orna-
mental Almost every large firm Of
architects In New York at present has
its headquarters in what were former

near Fifth avenue, the fronts OF which
make particularly attractive spot in
an otherwise uninteresting row Of
houses. They have evergreen shrubs

filed with towering plants In the win
dows, the sashes themselves filed with
schemes OF coIored glass set In lead

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. G.-Thc most
recent exploit of the St. Petersburg Irevolu-
tlonists is the theft of a machine gun of
the latest model and large supply of
cartridges. It IS presumed that an expert
gunner Is involved because all the neces-
sary accessories were simultaneously alb
stracted from the armOry. The project of
police has issued an order specially en-
phasizing the necessity of recapturing the
gun.
The man named Schekter, who threw the
bomb at Police Captain Samsonoff of Bialy-
stok. one OF the terroristic acts procipita-
ting the Jewish massacre, was convicted
today and sentenced to ten years at hard
labor. The prisoner, who is mere youth,
testified that he entered the terrorist or
ganization as a spy at the instance of the
police in 1904 and served the police faith
fully for two years. But he became con-
verted to the theories of tho revolutionists
and determined TO expiate his trehchcry by
killing Captain Samsonoff This recalls the
famous case of Begdieff a member of the
inner council of the terrorist organization,
