Ora F. Feather.


vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad be-
tween Pittsburg and Altoona, was killed
Tuesday, May 10, at 1856 a. m. Had
he lived more days ne would have been
80 years old. 1t is not definitely known
how he was killed, his body being found
along the track some time after his tram
had passed, but the supposition Is that
he lost his balance and fell to the
ground, the fall causing instant death.
His body was out Of reach Of the wheels
and was not mangled.
His death was a sad blow to his whole
family, and most especially to his inva-
lid mother who was almost Frustrated
with grief. His untimely death is rem
dered doubly sad by the fact that on
June 9th he was to have been married
and his betrothed is heart broken over
! this great sorrow.
The funeral services were conducted
at his late home on Friday, May Is, at
2 p. m. and interment at the Oakland
cemetery at p. m.
The funeral address was delivered by
Rev. J. b. Workman, Of Oakland, fol-
lowed by brief addresses by Revs H. 2.
Friend and P. w. Metheny. DR.. w. w.
Davis was present also and assisted IN
the services. Interspersed with the
other services, the choir sang Nearer

Soul, " ASLEEP In Jesus and( Sweet

Besides a great concourse Of people
from Mt Lake Park and vicinity there
were several friends from GAINESVILLE

Ora was au excellent young man, wei

Probably no householder could better
spend a half an hour than in exam
ming his chimneys and regulating the
manner of storing matches in his dwell
ing. Very many of the fires which are
chronicled from week to week are evil
IDENTIFY caused by defective fues and it
is the unanimous opinion of experienced
fire fighters that large proportion of
the mysterious origin fires are caused
by rats and mice gnawing matches. 1t
would undoubtedly save thousands Of
dollars worth of property every year
if none but safety matches were used,
but if the other varieties must be used
they should always be stored in tin
boxes, and all persons having access to
them should be cautioned not to scatter
them about or leave them lying on
shelves where children or rodents can
get at them AS to the chimneys, the
danger point is usually where the brick
work passes through floor or the roof,
as the settling of the chimney is apt to
produce break at such places.

Hiding Bad Proportions.

There is no more difficult problem
confronting the decorator or furnlsher
than how to make attractive room IN
which the proportions are not right.
Many city drawing rooms have this
fault; they are much too long for their
width. One despairing woman ex x;
claimed, on seeing her new parlor,, : |
shall furnish it like Pullman; there
1 is nothing else for It'll - A clever house,
wife tried an experiment on one Of
these long narrow rooms which turned
out very well and has been much ad.
mired. She marked off quarter OF
the room, including the hack windows,
and had raised floor put in. The ex-
ira floor was only eighteen inches high
er than the other, but it seemed more,
as it was led up to by two broad, shall
low steps. The back windows had
southern exposure, and about them were
placed stands Of plants; at one side was
placed the writing-desk, partially hid.
den from the main room by tall
screen placed on the regular floor. The
effect of it all was to shorten the room
and to give apparently more width.
Oddly enough, too; the general impress
sion was that a hay window had been
built on. The two steps have not
proved an inconvenience.

among the manufacturers of brick and
terra Gotta, nor the quarry owners. It
will discover it to be it's own material,
applied in a different way in the mono
lithic wall.
The architect is going to have some
thing to say about it. He will call to
his aid the trained artisan, his equal
in brain culture, his superior in manual
skill, and in friendly cooperation they
will reveal to the property owner the
fact that he is no longer compelled to
buy something he does not want and
would not have, if he, like the Mis-
sourian, could "be shown"
IF this statement be deemed Etbar-
fren ideality,' only ask an inspection
of the illustrations given in this arti-
Gle. Here is an example of a concrete
building erected for the Edison Elec-
trio Illuminating company, at Newton
vile, Mass. It was designed by Bos-
ton firm Of architects.
The walls are reinforced concrete,
with a continuous air space of two
inches between the outside wall, four
inches thick, and the inner wall of six
inches. The four corners are faced
with brick piers laid up as coigns, with
alternating courses Of concrete between,
binding together, as 1t were, the Dor
dered panels on the adjacent wall
faces The panels are finished rough
cast, tinted a deep red, harmonizing
with the gray Of the borders and the
bright tiles upon the roof. !.
Notice, too, the details Of the door
ways. Do they not refute the claims
Of those. critics who say pleasing and
decorative effects cannot be obtained
in concrete9 All the ornamental work
around the doorways, windows and the
cornice was done in Portland cement,
and is an integral part Of the wall, not
stuck on as in the use Of staff or sim
liar plastic mediums.
In review of what has been done in
building monolithic walls, and the easy
practical way in which decoration may
be appliec, it behooves the maker of
blocks to see that his conservatism
does not shut him out Of all participa-
ton in the rewards to which he right
fully may claim to have share.
A hint as to what he may do was
given in the first Of these articles in
the illustration showing variation in
the size of the blocks and their ar.
rangement in the wall in such a way as
to break up the continuous horizontal
lines. Let him supplement this i'm
provement by giving a greater variety
to the finish on the face Of the blocks.
Let him provide a greater number of
moulds, each differing from the other
in little matters of detail, and when the
resulting units are placed in position
in the wall the effect of the mass will
leave better impression upon the
! mind of his prospective customer.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-01-28

to be theirs by right Of discovery, I
would ask them to point to single
instance in which the promoter Of a new
industry has not, sooner or later, been
compelled to acknowledge that i'm
provements upon his own methods may
come from sources not controlled by has
own organization.
/ have pointed one objection to the
use of blocks as made at present -uni
formity in size and little or no varia-
tion in the finished faces of the blocks.
The objections may be termed purely
esthetic; they cannot be ignored on that
ground. Good taste will not continue
to be outraged when the owner has an
alternative brought to his notice.
The business Of manufacturing blocks
will not find its strongest competitors

Useful Picture Hanger.

An arrangement whereby one may
hang picture without stepladder or
chair, is the invention of a woman who
had personally wrestled with the prob.
lem. The picture hanger is a small
nickel cylinder which slips over the end
of a broom handle. The top is so
shaped that it holds the picture hook in
place with the wire across the lower
part of the hook. The broom handle
is then raised and the hook slipped
in its place upon the wall. If the pic.
ture is very heavy it will need to be
steadied when raised. If nails instead
Of hooks are used, the wire is slipped
over the holder and passed over the
head of the nail in the wall. The con
trivance is very simple, yet it does Its
work well and saves much labor .and
climbing.

plastic skill, and who offers to cooper
ate to the mutual advantage Of both.
So much the worse, then, for the block
makers.
The growing artistic feeling Of the
people who pay the bills will rally. to
the support of the artisan, and if he
cannot get the sympathy and friendly
cooperation Of the blockmakers, he
will be commissioned to carry out his
design in his own way, and the block
maker will have his field limited to the
construction Of the commercial! build
ing where great strength is the desire
rather than refinement Of details.
If the manufacturers of machines and
hollow blocks choose to ignore the dan
ger which menaces their undisputed
occupancy Of field which would seem
