KEEPS ADMIRAL WAITING

When Rear Admiral Davis called at
the Headquarters House this morning
10 bid farewell TO Governor Swetten-
ham he waited fifteen minutes. He
then Informed the Governors aid he
would wait no longer and requested
him 10 tell the Governor that, in con-
sequence Of the attitude in not de-
string American aid. he had counter
manded President Roosevelts order re-
garding the supply ship Celtic, laden
with beef for the relief Of Kingston.
Governor Swettenham arriving at
the moment, there was brief meet
ing and the Governor escorted Rear
Admiral Davis TO his carriage Saluta-
tions were exchanged and the Gov
ernor. replying TO Rear Admiral Davis
expression OF regret that he was un-
able to do more for Kingston, said:
All the more TO your honor" adding
a deep bow. evidently in reply to Rear
Admiral Davis reference to his depar-
ture and meaning that he would do the
same in the admirals place.
Rear Admiral Davis told the press
that he deeply regretted the Cover
nOrs attitude. He was still convinced
that the Governor was unequal to the
task of relieving distress-that this
was evident from the fact that the
American field hospital had attended
many sick and wounded and others
were constantly arriving. having been
unable to gain admission to the Gov
ernmcnt hospital.

vULTUREs PREY UPON DEAD

Last night the streets or the burned
district still reelOed with the stencil Of
decaying bodies. The streets were
lighted only by the corps fires lining
the rOadWays.
Today many bodies were recovered
through the aid OF vultures, which
prey in hocks on the dead AS fast as
they are uncovered the bodies are
thrown on funeral pyres and slowly
consumed.
The total number OF known dead is
about $50 and Il is believed there are
al least $50 persons who have not been
accounted for.
Food is coming into the city from
the country districts, but a famine Is
feared.
The filthy condition Of the camps on
the parade grounds and race course,
where thousands Of persons are hud-
died under improvised tents, rooted
over and sheathed with palm leaves,
causes great apprehension OF an out
break of typhoid fever. At present
there is urgent need for tents for sew
eraI thousand persons. Rain is ndU
tkreatening, and If il should come 1t
VIh involve untold suffering on the
homeless thousands.

A cottage house 35 by 81 feet is
given in this plan. This length is
sufficient to provide for good large
rooms and to arrange them very
nicelD
The location of a bathroom in a
cottage has always given architects
a great deal of trouble. You don't
want bathroom near the parlor, nor
the dining-room, and it is not always
convenient to have it open off the
kitchen. Some architects solve the
problem by leaving out the bathroom
altogether, but most persons need a
bath occasionally, at least civilization
has worked at the problem hundred
years or SO, and has finally decided
that it is better to take a bath once
A good many jokes have been sprung
TO illustrate the point, and they may
have had some influence. 1t any rate
we seldom see a good house nowadays
without bathroom, and we never
find a person who is willing to do
without one after having once en-
joyed the luxury. The bathroom in this
house opens off from the kitchen but
there is also door entering from the
back bedroom, so that there are as
many advantages with as few disad-
vantages as possible in a cottage
house.
This plan is designed for a comfort
able home for small family. 1t may
be built in town or on a farm, and
be thoroughly satisfactory for either.
There is good cellar under the whole
house. 1t never pays to do less than
this in the cellar line. The old

because this is the universal winter
fruit. Apples require very low
temperature, one degree above freez-
ing is the most satisfactory when
the barrels are kept in cold storage.
You can't have cellar very cold un-
der the main part of the house, but
you can partition on a cold cellar
under this front room, leave the eel
lar windows open and it will be cold
enough to keep apples in good con.
dition all winter. This is especially
true If the house faces the north.
Not every kind of apple wiz keep

conditions, but we have a number of
winter varieties, any one of which

fashioned way of digging out for a

has been out of fashion for a good
many years. 1t is not economical or

to build wall deep enough for a
cellar than to build supporting wall

stones won't heave Even the earth
necessary for filling around the new
house is best secured from the ex-

WEDDING PROCESSION IN ooREA.
Rride-Elect of the Crown Prince Pass
ed Through the Streets of Seoul.

! 4 magnificent blaze of color was
the impression which We first re-
ceived of the procession OF the bride

ace, says a writer in the Corea Daily

ment was more than alleviated by the
| splendor of the procession and the
populace. Greens. yellows, pinks and
blues, all in striking contrast and like
ly to be bizarre, formed themselves
into truly delicate harmony
The procession passed up the big
street at about four o'clock The first
to come were number OF female
servants of the bride. They We're
mostly old women and thei- march
was something to be seen. Following
them came q number of palace gil
sang" each one clad gorgeoGsly and
every one carrying pink paraso..
Later came the state chairs of the
bride; there were two of them and the
bride was in the second one. Mean
while squads of soldiers were march
ing ND either side of the streets, and
as the CHAIR OF the fuLilTe EMPRESS OF
Corea passed through the crowd stood
back to make room.
Following the chair of fhs bride
were many officials all on horseback.
The colors were glorious, but the
procession could not have been more
than quarter of a mile long. which
is a Disappointment when VIC remember
the interminability OF funeral pro-
cession.
