 MT. Humphrey thus emphasizes the warning:
 ''rhe defects of construction which are so strongly condemned by reason of their failure In San Francisco are no worse than those generally practiced throughout the United States The same defects are common and it is evident that the same results would follow an earthquake of equal intensity in another part of the country A moments consideration will show that the loss of life and property in New York, for example under similar conditions. would be enormous"

 Is living as Sarah Lee, Licensed Hawk err with four houses, four dogs and two birds. Her caravan Is covered with baskets for sale. She pitches her tent in the country lanes, and creeps through the villages in the van which she drives her self. and the caravan of Sarah Lee. the Licensed Hawker." can often be seen drawn up by the side of the road by the Gypsy herself. in a flaming red skirt, a blue jersey and a large slouched straw hat, with immense earrings. She sells the baskets to the villagers, who gather round her and who have no idea that her real name is Lady Arthur GrosVenor There is nothing luxurious about the equipment. It Is that of an ordinary gypsy soiourner. The kettle, the frying pan. the saucepan are slung outside the sleeping apartment and small cooking stove and d few stores supply her wants. The Gypsy Sarah Lee drives the first van and youth the second. and magpie screams in a cage hung from the vehicle. Sarah Lee rises at 6, lights fire and cooks the breakfast. starts on her travels at 8. and makes about fifteen miles in the day.

Out of Place

Special to The Age-Herald. From Hearst
 News Service. Copyright eo7. by w.

 London, July l3.-A lively debate has recently taken place in the House of Lords on the subject of Eternal Woman" A bill was brought in qualifying women to sit on country and borough council, the second reading of which was carried by II votes to 33 The debate that followed, on the subject of the suffrage, was very amusing. Lord Crewe pointed out that women already sat on nine thousand bodies, and were excluded only from about five hundred. One conception of wom- an," he said, lis that of combination of maid-of-all-w work and mlnistering angel, that, together with the cult of the sauce pan and the mangle, she should be pre- pared to stand by and wipe the heated brow of the titled being with whom she was priNged to live. After d life of blamelessness and barely water she was opposed to retire to d chimney corner, and employ herself in making under- garments for innumerous grandehillren If she was not so constituted as to fill this picture, she was regarded by some as being determined 10 enter upon d career Of breaking up political meetings and as saulting the police. There was plenty of room betWen these extremes for woman to sit on police bodies and exercise much useful influence in matter like sanitation. the care of children or lunatics, and the housing of the working classes"
 The Archbishop of Canterbury very per tinently pointed out that the question was not one of the rights and wrongs of women, but of the rights and wrongs of the community, who were entitled to the administrative assistance of C ompetent women.

Lord St Aldwyn made an unfortunate hit when he said that there were some places in which women were out of place, for instance, on the watch committee and on the finance committed" 1t was notorious said His Lordshp that the sex was often in difficulties in the matter of expenditure Lord St. Aldwyn, like many others, is judging the facts by his knowl- edge of women of his own class. It is well known that the tinancer among the work ing people is the woman. It is she to whom the husband confides his wages who lays them out to the very best ad- vantage and who probably can make money go farther than any other being in the world. 1 think on the score of the man ipulation of finance none be afraid of a woman for the value of money and the amount of it's purchasing possibility are subjects on which she Is decidedly strong
 It is certainly interesting feature of the times that the chamber, which cannot in any sense be considered progressive, faces with an equanmity which amounts almost to appreciation the entrance of women into the municipal life of the land.
 The NorWegians have SD far followed the example of Finland that they have given the vote to women. The north Is certainly coming put into the light and there is little doubt that their example will shorty be followed by the other nations.

Last of the Old Manor Houses
 of the Metropolis to Go
BUILDINGS RAZED IN AYEAR
They Would Make City Several Times the Size of Birmingham. Stories About a Fa-
 nous Hotel.
BY sEWELL HAGGARD.

New York July 13.-Every few days the announcement is made that some famous landmark of the metropolis is to pass away, trampled down in the march of progress. Soon there will be nothing left to remind dwellers of this great city of the days before the age of steel skeleton sl<yscrapers and the endless rows of man. moth apartment houses. It has bene only a few weks since the doom of the famous Fifth avenue hotel Was pronounced and now comes the announcement that Man hattan's last manor is going. Time was when the Watt manor took up a goodly part of Manhattan island-aeres and acres just as the Astor estate did.
 The original tract as purchased by Archibald Watt in 1S26 consisted of forty city blocks The purchase price was $62, GOO, or $1562. 5O d city block. Since it's pur chase the block on which the manor stands has increased one thousand times in value. Ten years ago the two blocks adjoining it were sold for $7oo,OOo. Miss Mary r. Pinckney has just sold the Manor block for S1,500oc0.
 That the old house was preserved so
 
 who Is now past So years of age. In winter she has lived in a downtown hotel, but every summer, instead of going to some fashioned resort as other persons of her wealth do. she has moved up to the Manor She thought more of her flower garden and her vegetable patch than she did of the income the property could be made to yield by improvement. She cared not if every radish required s worth of soil for it's growth. The preservation of the mansion was matter of sentiment with her
 And in the end 1t wasn't greed for gain that made Miss Pinekney part with her summer home. It was the noise of pro gross In the shape of the building of scores of flat houses around her that made her decide to give up the place. She drove the bargain with the real estate agents herself and frankly told them that the property represented an income of SI50OO d year that wasn't earned meant nothing to her. She stipulated that she should be allowed to spend one more summer in the old Manor.
