1.-THE CITY BEAUTIFUL. (
But Menominie is Long, Long Dis

But Menominie is Long, Long Dis
lance from Many Other Places.
There is deal Of good sense in the
plan that is to be put into effect to re-
construct and beautify the town Of
Menominie, Wis. Menominie is busy
little manufacturing city Of some s 600
inhabitants, in the heart of the great
lumber district of the State For the
successful working out of the purpose
in hand it has two very great factors in
its favor, namely, fine natural loca-
tion and wealthy public-spirited cit
izen, james II. Stout. Mr.. Stout has
already proved himself public bene-
factor by his gifts to his home city,
which include a manual training
school, physical culture school, a
gymnasium, a natatorium, and a libra
Try. The new scheme for the beautifi-
cation of the town, undertaken at his
suggestion, and largely at his expense,
has received the support of the muni-
cipal authorities, and of various town
organizations, A Boston landscape
architect has been engaged to lay out
plans for the reformation. Citizens
are to engage to build their homes with
some regard for beauty and propriety
fixed distance from the street, and
further to engage to keep their lawns
and flower beds and hedges in such
shape as will give the town the appear
ance of great flower garden. Pave
ments, sidewalks and grass plots are
to be given consideration, tree plant
ing and preservation, and the planting
of vines about homes are to be encour-
aged, the construction Of stables is to
be regulated, and finally the relation
between the residence and business
sections is to be harmonized.
such comprehensive scheme would
not, of course, be possible of fulfillment
in cities Of great size, unless as in the
case of San Francisco the field were
well cleared by fire. But plans look
ing toward systematic Identification
are being carried out in Washington,
Boston and other large cities as far as
the limitations of the existing city
will allow. 1t is really to the small
towns and cities of from $500 to 10000
inhabitants that such plan as that of
Mr.. StOut's ought to appeal. 1t is to
be feared, however, that our civic
spirit is not yet sufficiently developed
to lead any great number of municipal
titles to follow Menominie's lead

Letter to rIuchmore & Roman
Morristoscn N. J.

Morristos0n, ". J.
Dear Sirs: How did you get your
business? we'll tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint;
perhaps we can do a good turn to our
selves, you and we, by swapping ex-
periences.
We began 152 years ago in a little
shop few-minutes walk from where
we are now; a great many things have
happened. we don't remember them all.
We made as good paint as we could
and learned to make better. We are
the Oldest now: we don't know whether
we had any teacher or not; it's so long
ago: if we had, he's gone and for
gotten. We should have been for
gotten, If we hadn't made good paint
and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that; If you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick; If you
make a hit, you can push it quick.
We've had to go slow; it's hard to
pick-out ones own mistakes, and moth
| ing but fun to correct the mistakes
of others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps It's shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears long time. What a
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable!
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make a
lstrong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather Of
yours for wear. 1t is all paint and
the strongest of paint. Paint Is
usually adulterated and weak.
We re very old, but we make young
paint! one gallon is better than two,
| If it has the stuff in it.
Yours truly,
f w DEVOE & G T RAYNOLDS,
IL New York.

What is probably the largest single
stone ever brought to Morristown has
found Judgment as the door sill for ST.
Peters Church. 1t is a piece Of Water
loo granite measuring sixteen feet
four inches in length, seven feet two
inches in width and of an average
thickness eighteen inches. The weight
is estimated at about seventeen tons.
1t came by car from Waterloo and on
Friday was unloaded with the assist
ance of a derrick not OF sufficient capa-
city to lift the stone to H. L. Prud-
den's heaviest wagon. Eight horses
were used to draw it the route being
up Elm street and South to the church.
When almost to the church the weight
broke the tire on one Of the rear
wheels as if cut bya knife. The break
was discovered in time so that the
wagon was stopped and the axle braced
before the wheel collapsed as it surely
would have done. The tire repaired
the stone was taken on to the tower
by the help Of block and tackle and on
Saturday the great stone was slid
down an incline topped with railroad
iron and set in place, concrete being
rammed underneath to make firm
fOOtinr.

By a unanimous vote the Orange
Common Council at an informal meet
ing on Thursday night, decided to con-
cur in the recommendation OF the
lighting committee with respect to a
municipal lighting plant James M.
Seymour, Jr., has been engaged as con-
sulting engineer,
The question Of going into the bust
ness Of private lighting was left in
allegiance until the November election,
but in the meantime active work will
be prosecuted on the lighting plant in
conjunction with the water-pumping
station In Chestnut street. Mr.. Sey-
mour has made an estimate, which he
says is based on actual figures received
from manufacturers, that the plant
complete will cost not more than $40,
900, and his estimate Of running ex-
penses, with allowance for deprecia-
tion and interest on the bonds, as well
as provision for the sinking fund,
shows that lights can be furnished for
a trlhe less than $50 a year each. The
city is now paying 1856 a lamp on Ave
year contract with the Public Service
Corporation.
