the parochial residence.
The new building, though destined
to be used by Sacred Heart College for
several years, is a well-equipped, SUBJ
stantial frame building. 1t will be
used as a parochial school when the
brothers abandon it for their perma-

Welsh, Carey & Welsh.
Sacred Heart College first came into
being in 1873, when, at the request of
the late Archbishop Alemany, the
Christian Brothers assumed charge of
the Institution, which was to serve
as a boys high school for Catholics.
The Christian Brotherhood is a society
founded in the seventeenth century by
st. John Baptist de la Sale, for the
sole and express purpose of teaching
Catholic youth. In a sense the
organization is Catholic religious
order, and in a sense, likewise, the
Christian Brothers are monks; but they
differ from most of the congregations

functions; they neither preach nor ad-
minister the sacraments of the church.

tirely to the work of education.

NO EXTRA PAY FOR ELECTION
DEPUTIES WHO WORKED NIGHTS
City Attorney Burke besides That
Charter Allows No Compensation
Over 800 Per Month

Fourteen deputies employed in the
office of the Registrar of Voters during
the months of October and November
are destined to receive no pay for about
sixty hours each of overtime which was
put in at the request of the Registrar
In reply to an inquiry from the Board
Of Election Commissioners City Attor-
ney William G. Burke yesterday hand
ed down a decision to the effect that
payment for such services would be IL
legal where the excess would bring
the total salary of any deputy over 500
for any calendar month.
The extra services were rendered at
nights and on holidays, and it was sup
posed by those directly employing the
deputies that their services would be
paid at the regular rate per day for all
such overtime. The City Attorney
holds, however, that the charter pro-
vision contemplates that the salary of
an extra deputy shall in no instance ex-
coed 500 per month, and that this
must include all extra work, as well as
regular work. He states that extra
work may be paid for when it does not
bring the total over 500, but as the
deputies have already received this
amount as regular salary, the decision
does away with the possibility of the
extra pay being awarded.

Motor Buses Poison Air,
English Scientist Says

London, July 21.-Owing to, more ac-
cidents, fortunately none as serious as
that recorded week ago, the outcry
against the motor omnibus nuisance, as
it is called, has become louder and
more vigorous than ever.

there is little news, London editors open
their columns to a discussion Of such

no room for any such discussion just
now. London editors are encouraging

It is not merely the danger to life
thru runaway cars that has raised the
panic. The cry Isl being raised that
the motor bus is the source of great
danger to health BY polluting the ali
with poisonous fumes. 4e47
Sir James Dewar Fullerin, professor
Of chemistry at Cambridge, has taken
the lead in this attack. The speed OF
the motor bus, he says, not merely
makes it dangerous on thorofares, but
1t raises clouds of dust, and dust In
large towns is always carrier Of dis

that motor propulsion will give cleaner
roads, but in great cities that is impos
sible unless they are washed and swept

London, July 21.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan has paid more than $3,OOO,0OO for
paintings and antiques in the last three
months. The extravaganza of his craze
for buying pictures and curios during
his European visit that has Just ended
exceeded even his own previous rec
ords.

SPortrait or lit Of Fl Miss Fare Farren.' For th this IS
superb picture Mr.. Morgan paid the
unparalleled sum of 100000, just
double the price ever paid before for
a Lawrence.
This portrait was sold for $444 in
1868, and for $11,250 in 1897.
English collectors shake their heads
over the price and insist that by no
Lawrence be worth more than half of
the 100000.
One Of the most expert Judges of art

feet collections in Europe, and who
knows Mr.. Morgan well, was asked
whether the New Yorker really under

"Mr. Morgan has neither taste nor

made in exactly the same spirit that
search for freaks. Mr.. Morgan hears
that such or such a picture is the best

General Booth Denies
Salvation Army Grating

London, July 21.-If the statement
Of Mayor Dempsey Of Cincinnati in ex-
pressing his opinion on the alleged
shortcomings Of the Salvation Army has
created stir in America, it can read
ily be imagined what it has caused in
England, the home Of the organization.
Now hordes of the friends Of General
Booth ftly describe the indignation
which is felt over the accusation that
the Army leader has been disinterested
in his work and is making good liv-
ing out of it.
Of course, the natural result Of the
charges has been to draw from Gen
eral Booth denial that he is receiv-
ing any pecuniary benefit from his posi-
tion as the head Of the Army.a He
brands the assertion as can absolute
and ridiculous falsehood,' and says
that instead Of gaining anything, he
has given everything he possessed to
the work Of the Army.
General Booth lies at Hadleywood in
house built for him by the Salvation
Army. It is not an imposing structure,
nor Is it furnished in manner which
would suggest extravaganza. General
Booth supplements this denial with q
statement that he is only enabled to
live at the house in question thru the
kindness Of friends. He says he does
not make enough from his work to keep
him in shoe leather. i

Ladies Were Scarce.

Old San Francisco was one of the
most famous cities in the world and had
many noted spots. 1t Is interesting to
note that she gained all her fame, in
the comparatively short time of fifty
years. There are men alive today who
remember the time when woman was
a great curiosity in San Francisco. This.
was during the days Of '49, and men
really pinned for a glimpse of pure
woman s face. A story is told Of q
certain judge, who came to the city
about that time and brought with him
his wife and two little. girls. After
they had landed and were walking up
the street, the men crowded around the
little ones asking to kiss them or shake
hands with them, and Offering to give
them gold specimens or little bags Of
gold dust. They followed the family a
long way, as if fascinated by the little
faces and voices. There are many

Military Reviews Dull;
What Will France Do?

Paris. July 21.-Apparently waning
interest in the military review Of July
ID has prompted the suggestion that
the date be changed. Spectators are
less numerous Year, after year. The
reason given is that thousands of Par
isians are either out of the city for the
entire summer or on excursion trips
for period Of four or five days for
which the railway companies offer re-
duced rates.
The review has been held in the
morning instead of the afternoon on
the last two occasions, the main pur-
pose being to protect the soldiers
from the great heat which generally
prevails in the afternoons at this sea-
son. As the attendance was apparently
below the average, many newspapers

editors, who dolefully reported that
the review was dull and sad. The Echo
de Paris urges that in future July IA

button of prizes in schools.
Too Late in the Year.
The ceremony would retain proud
fathers and mothers in Paris, and the
pupils would see the government and
populace acclaim the army at the re-
view in the morning, a sort of public
recognition of the good work accom-
plished by the officers and troops, and
in the afternoon would themselves be
the center of interest.
The Matin believes that the Fete
National takes place too late in the
year. This is probably the reason for
the Indifference displayed. The labor
ing classes, on the other hand, appear
disposed to regard May / as the day
for popular manifestations. This being
the case, the Matin asks why the fete
be held on the same day, May 1. On
May 1 people have not yet begun to
leave Paris and the heat is not SO in
tense as to prevent the review from
being held in the afternoon.

WHAT SCIENTIFIC MRN SAY:
a GREAT DISCOVERY

we are shown how to prevent premature

that the Malpighian tubes of the kidneys
are the secret or main springs to per-
petual youth.
Prevent these tubes from becoming con-

past experience and experiments by lead
Ing chemists Of the United States and

proof that the Kidneys have everything

The chemical action Of Prof. Lantz's
