Little Isabella Smith Dead.

George Smith and wife, dice
Tuesday afternoon, October s
of typhoid fever. The little
girl was sick only a few. days
but was violently i'll from the
first, and had several commissions
in the early stages of the disease,
and continued in a critical con
dition to the end.
How true it is that oftentimes
m%isfortunes do not come singly
in this earthly life, About three
weeks ago DR.. Smith and family
were burned out of house and
home, and lost their beautiful
country residence and it's con
tents within one short hour.
The hospitable homes of the
neighborhood were thrown open
to them, and it was while spend
ing a few days at the Baker
home that their little daughter
was taken sick. The first mis-
fortune is forgotten in their
present bereavement, and the
parents feel that they are indeed
passing through the valley and
shadow of the greatest sorrow of
their lives. The deepest sympa-
thy is extended to DR.. Smith
and wife by a large circle of rela-
tives and friends.
The funeral services will be
held at Smiths Memorial
Church, near Napton, Thursday
at 10 a. m, and will be conducted
by Rev. j. E.. Abbott of this city.

The ministers are right, and we
hope they win their point in the
stand they have taken. At such
an event in a town like Independ-
once the streets are packed night
and day with boys and girls
from 10 to Is years of age whose
parents do not know or do not
care where they are, and during
the rush and excitement these
young people through their ig-

down the route which if afforded
protection a few years longer

LOSE BY CLASS DISTINCTIONS.
Marc klaw Says London Theaters Are
Hurt by the Aristocraey.

Marc Klaw, the American theatrical
manager. in an interview in London
recently, said that he thought the
London theatrical season very dull
and uninteresting from an artistic
standpoint.
THE theaters are suffering for two
causes" said Mr.. Klaw. "One is that
no effort is made to get at the social
ed middle class, which is really richer
here than in America; the other is the
prices charged for seats. | cannot see
any reason in the world why a man
should have to pay $2.62 for an or
chestra stall, when the man behind
him pays only 62 cents. The former
pays the extra two dollars for class
distinction. This last kills anything
theatrical unless It be grand opera.
In my opinion, the London theatrl-
cal manager that would abolish the
pit and fight it out, giving half of his
lower floor for two dollars and the
other for one dollar, and then put the
pit crowd in the back part of the bal
cOny at 62 cents. would eventually
make a lot of money. OF course the
pioneer would have trouble at the
start and great opposition. For that
reason London should have an asso-
citation OF managers, such as we have
in New York, which would get behind
any man who should be willing 20 try
the experiment for q year.
Another thing which initiates
against the patronage of the general
public is the question of dress. Men
come home tired from business, as
they do in America. If they and their
wives have to dress for a play they
patronize the theater as seldom as
possible. | believe a smaller proper
tionate number of people in London
go to the theater than in any other
city in the world"

cified both in the drawings and IN the
contract. A man may study a plan a
long time and think he knows all
about 1t, but while the house is go
ing up he can always find room for
improvement. This leads TO altera.
t!ons which are generally expensive.
The house shown in this plan is 25
feet wide and A feet long, exclusive
of the porch The chimneys are so
arranged that it may be heated com.
fortably with stoves, which is helped
by the rooms upstairs coming directly
over the rooms below which gives an
opportunity to carry the stoyepipes
through to the rooms above and to
warm them with drums Houses may
be made very comfortable in this way
Stoves burn less coal than a furnace,
and a great many prefer them. Il
IS easy to warm any part Of the house.
and It is not necessary to keep fire
in the rooms that are not used.
The house is modern and sensible
in appearance. and so far as the archi.
tect and builder is concerned, is all
right as shown on the plans and pros
pective, BUT 1t will never be complete
as an artistic home until the grounds
are laid out and planted with suitable
shrubs end flowers. No plain bare
house looks right, it shows at once
that there is something lacking. The
only real comfortable homes are sur.
rounded with something more pleas.
ing than brick, mortar and PAINT.
A houae like this may be built, when
conditions are favorable, for about
$4,000 ccmplete with gas fixtures and
plumbing It may be that the gas
fixtures are not wanted at first, but II
is better to put in the pipes Recent
improvement in small gas plants make
1t possible and often desirable to in
stall a little machine just for home
use. II the pipes are in the fixtures
and burners can be put on at any time.
Another thing that should be remem-
bered in building is the hot air pipes
in the wall in case you ever want n
turance. They may be easily put in
while ths building is going up, but Il
is an awful job to tear out and put
them in afterwards.
