RATHER TOUGH TOWN
War Department Hears That
Vallejo, CAL, is Very Bad
Place.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Mayor Mad
igan Of Vallejo, CAL, will undertake to
better the conditions in that town, ac-
cording to suggestions from the navy
department. Secretary of the nay Bo-
naparte has received a dispatch from
the California mayor, stating that he
would take immediate steps to bring
about changes desired by the naval
establishment.
Frequent complaints have reached
the navy department concerning the
number of saloons and dives in VAL
lejo.. Employees of the Mare Island
navy yard are compelled to pass
many of the places complained of and
the conditions were so bad that Mr.
Bonaparte recently wrote to Mayor
Madigan on the subject.

MAIL CLERKS TO ASK A PER DIEM

ofall the employees of the government
has to bear his own expenses It is
estimated that this costs the average
clerks something lake $165 a year,
counting only IS cents per meal and
IS cents per day for his bed. The
clerks declare that in this day when
everything costs more than in times
past. they can scarcely afford this
drain on their average salaries, which
for the 14,122 men in active service is
$1,O66.
For years congress has made an ap-
preparation each year for expenses
incurred by railway postal clerks
while in line of duty and away from
their respective headquarters. but the
post Office department and the courts
have decided that their headquarters
are in their cars, and that consequent
ly they cannot get away from head
quarters. 1t is believed by the clerks
that congress really meant that they
should not be compelled to bear their
legitimate expenses while on duty
away from home.

The Recent Torpedo Boat
Trials Excelled Any Held
Previously.

Newport, R. l., Oct. 29.-While the
second torpedo boat flotilla was in

fired ten torpedoes at moving targets
with the destroyers racing at various
speeds and made an average of eight
out Of ten hits. The official report will
be forwarded to the navy department
at the end of the quarter.

The wreck occurred at a draw
bridge which spans a small water
way about one mile outside of this
city, just on the eastern edge of the
meadows, and was directly due to the
draw failing to work properly. The
fishing schooner Sinbad. which was
recently wrecked off the winter quar-
ter shoals light, a short distance from
the Delaware breakwater. had just
passed through the draw. AS the
schooner was entering the draw, the
electric train hove in sight and
started across the meadow from the
direction of Pleasantville. Before the
draw had swung into position three
cars. which were running at high
rate of speed, dashed onto the trestle.
With lurch, the forward car left the
rails into the guard-rail, the other
cars following. At the point where the
cars jumped the track, the top of the
trestle is nearly twenty feet high.
The first two cars were instantly SUBJ
merged, but the third car of the train
caught on an abutment and remained
suspended. 1t was this car from
which nearly all of the injured es-
capped.
The news of the disaster was quick
ly telegraphed to this city and in less
than an hour the work of rescue had
been begun. At the time Of the accl-
dent the tide, which rises about teA
feet, was running and the work of the
divers was necessarily slow.
Divers Do Fine Work.
Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 29.-The
indications today were that sixty-six
persons lost their lives in the trestle
wreck on the electric line of the West
Jersey & Sea Shore railroad Sunday.
1t Is known that there were ninety
one passengers in the ill-fated train.
Twenty-Five have been accounted for,
leaving sixty-six unaccounted for,
and probably dead. Forty-eight bodies
have been recovered up to 7 a. m. to-
day.
Bandmen Among Dead.
Atlantic City, Oct. 29.-The accident
was probably due to the spreading of
rails, or the failure of the draw to
work properly. The train left Camden
at 1 o'clock this afternoon and was
due here at 2:30. The accident oc-
Cured about one mile from Atlantic
City, where the train jumped the
rails on the long trestling over the
thorougfare. The bridge itself is near

IN FAVOR Of
DRASTIC;
RULE
POSTAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION
Legitimate Publications Will
be Denied Privileges of
Mail Rates.
(By e. c. snyder.)

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-1t is
expected that the commission, which
for some time past has been investi-
eating the subject of second class
postal rates will make recommenda-
tions for drastic changes. Everyone
who knows anything whatever about
the postal affairs of the country, be-
lieves that the annual defecit in the
revenues of the department Is due in
great measure to the fact that hun
dreds of tons Of illegaitimate matter
are carried at the rate of one cent
per pound to all sections of the coun-
try. Legitimate publications have suf-
fered in consequence of the enormous
growth of flakes" Tons of publica-
tions are turned out every week and
carried by the million by Uncle Sam"
In his mail cars at great cost to the
revenues and for the sole benefit of
some manufacturer of pills and nos
trums, or some equally patriotic seek
er after the almighty dollar. Within
the past year hundreds of publishers
have, on the other hand, been refused
the right to register their publications
as Entered in the post Office as Sec
ond class matter" because the depart
ment is determined to give no publica-
tion postal facilities until its true
character and scope is demonstrated.
It seems to be the general belief
that the commission will recommend
an increase in the pound rate postage
charges and, at the same time, give the
post Office department more leeway,
both in the matter of admitting to the
mails and excluding from the mails
publications which he has reason to
regard, either as legitimate or as
purely advertising publications.
Various publishing houses through
out the country are greatly agitated
over the prospect and there will doubt
less be a formidable lobby in Wash
ington next winter to fight against any
change inimical to the interest Of the
semi-private publications.

Wood Pane1ing.

! American architects and homebuild-
ers are giving special attention to wood
and plaster, and many of the . new
houses contain one or more rooms where
the high-paneled wainscot is a special
feature. In England this paneling has
ing the walls, and noted English ar
chitect ably sets forth its merits. -.
HFor. all practical purposes" he
writes, "nothing can surpass wood pan
cling, or, as it was named from the
particular kind Of oak Of which 1t
originally was made, wainscoting.
Take the case Of a house, no matter
where it be, Of which some rooms are
paneled and some are not, and compare
the effect Of the two modes Of treat
ament. It will at once be evident that
wainscoting Of itself gives a sense of
substantial comfort and finished ap-
pearance to any room, apart from the
presence Of any movable furniture it
may contain. The original outlay of
wood paneling is necessarily greater
than that of papering, sdistempering and
other varieties of treatment that might
be named; but the majority of these
frequently recurring intervals, whereas
wood paneling, especially that which. is
constructed of good sound oak, lasts fol-
centuries; and, instead of deteriorating
OF. growing shabbier, 3 improves in tone
with age, and is, therefore, in the long
run, the cheapest, as it is also, gen
orally speaking, the handsomest form OF
interior wall decoration In existence. ;

cornice as part Of the wall is more sensi
BILE than the English method Of treating
it as a part Of the ceiling. The French
method suggests feeling Of support to

may be accounted for by the extensive
uses made Of the plaster ceilings in the
earlier English houses, and which neces-'

There can be no greater drawback to
the appearance Of a room than the COM

When painted they are permissible, but
they can not be compared with the
plain white plaster ceiling, which ma

Wall Paper for Flats.

Persons Of moderate means who live
in flats are chiefly interested in getting
all they can, for the meager sum the
landlord allows for decoration Yet
few Of them are willing to take the
advice Of specialists in wallpaper dec
grafton and furnish their apartments
with one paper or with two shades Of
the same color. '.:.. ... e ..
The sense Of space this plan gives
to the average apartment cannot be
understood by those who have not seen
the effect. In the common case of a
drawing-room, dining-room and alcove
together, as these rooms are arranged
in many flats, there is remarkable diff
ference when all are done in the same
paper; but the old fond ness for a green
parlor and "a red dining-room is diff
cult to overcome. .,.4 --
In selecting single color for an en-
tire apartment it is best to fix on a
neutral tint; a gray, cream or yellow,
light olive or light brown. There are
shades to which almost any draperies
may be suited 49, The color may be sup
piled by the hangings. The draperies
may be in contrast or in more vivid
shades of the cardinal color. ....z-:
AS cartridge paper scarcely wears
