Nota del dia

Cada dia que pasa sc hace
mas evidente la necesidad que
existe en- Santurce de que sean
construidas las aceras que ha-
gan transitable para los vecinos
del populoso barrio, la carretera
central.
Es una necesidad que Sc sien-
te intensamente, puesto que la
poblacion de la extensa barria-
da ha aumentado en- una consi-
derable proportion y Ell transito
de carruajes, automobiles, tram
Was y otras classes de vehiculos
esta hacienda verdaderamente
peligroso Ell paso de las perso-
mas por la Carretera, sin que
tengan los transeuntes I'm ca
mino que no puedan invadir
los vehiculos; aceras, por las
que no puedan alcanzarles los
peligros que en- plena carretera
amenazan q los viandantes.
Ell proyecto de la construction
de las aceras, a ambos lados de
la carretera de SanturCe, no
puede ser tachado de innecesa-
rio nj, afortunadamente, ha en-
Contrado opositores.
Los senores del municipio no
pueden por menos que conceder
que sc trata de una aspiration
legitima de los vecinos Y los
propietarios de Santurce, que
reclaman para aquel important
t1simO barrio que contribuye
por modo tan esplendido el sos
tenimiento de las cargas, los
servlCios munlcipales que en- la
aCtualidad no reciben.
La justicia de esta pretension
no puede discutirse. Lo que Sc
trata de discutir es la manera
de fabricar esas aCeras, sin que
Sc perjudiquen intereses priva-
dos y sin que sufra la propie-
dad particular. Ell municipio
tiene TN medic franco y expedi-
to, el unico que no provocaria
prctestas legitimas y criticas
justas: ell de expropiar algunos
terrenos, los necesarios para la
obra que Sc trata de realizar,
pero expropiarlOs mediante una
equitativa indemnizacion a los
propietarios.
Tai vez con arreglo a los nue..
voS metodos resulte antlcuado
Ell detalle imprescindible de pa
gar a los individuos la parte de
su propiedad expropiada para
una obra de colectividad, Y es
possible que por la mente de al
gun pretor haya pasado la idea
de emplear como mas rapidos y
economicos los bruscos procedl-
mlentos de romper Verjas, inva-
dir jardines, tomar del terreno
privado la parte que sc juzgue
necesarla, sin que por clio Sc
Crea justo indemnizar a los due
nos de tierras y epropietarios
de fncas.
Dentro de los nuevos meto-
dos, es tan extrafio todo cuanto
sc hace Y todo cuanto sucede,
que las hipotesis mas exagera-
das NO son en- ocasiones otra CO.
sa que una anticipada vision de
una realidad estupenda. una
profecia truculenta v desconcer-
stadora.
Z Pcro es de esperar que Ell asunto
Sc tome con la calma necesaria
Use estudie con la seriedad Y
la trascendencia que tiene, a fin
de que no Sc puedan cometer
/ censura bles violencias, al rea-
liar una obra ntil, que libre de
esas impurezas de que pudieran
acontagiarla Ell medic. sino sc to-
man precauciones extremadas &
tindis pensables, seria aplaudidi-
esima ipor la opinion que la esta
Eeclamando4 hace tempo.

Old-Fashioned SettinQp.

Trom Harpers Bazaar.
The regular set of jewelry' OF ffty
years ago consisted of a large brooch and
tions. The designs were often beautiful
and the workmanship exquisite, while tho
warm color of the gold is rarely TO be
found in these days. The favorite design
was spray of flowers and leaves fastened
to framework of fiat gold ribbon or
round cord The center of the flowers held
a garnet topaz or ruby, or several tiny
gold stamens swayed in the bell-shaped
corolla, each tipped with a pearl or occa-
sionally a diamond. Another design not
quite so popular showed an intricate knot
of gold ribbon, sometimes with leaves or
closely covered with seed pearls. few
years ago some of these old brooches
were brought to light and used in place OF
belt buckles. They were, however hardly
suitable for that purpose, being neither
strong nor Of the right shape, while their
many points and Irregularities were most
disastrous to laces and chlrons. Recently
some unique ornaments for necklaces and
corsage decoration have been made by re-
moving the pin from the brooch and using
the separate parts OF the earrings as pend.
ants. These latter can be arranged in
many ways by a good jeweler; the effect,
portions are attached to the brooch by
tiny chains. II one doesn't mind tearing
these old-fashioned articles to pieces, lovely
suckpins can be made from almost each
detail Of the design. The ugly gold brace

cables make very handsome combs Each

A Giant Reservoir.
From the London Telegraph.


Members of the Society Of Engineers
paid an interesting visit yesterday after
noon to the new reservoir under construc-
tion for the Metropolitan water board at
Honor Oak These immense works have
been building for long time, and are very
noticeable from the railway, which runs
close by. Above ground only the crowns
of innumerable cOncrete-coyered arches
are seen, with a large pumping station
in the distance. Underneath the surface
however. the arches prove to be the roofing
of spacious and lofty caverns extending in
every direction, and destined, when COM
pleted. to be filed to the keystones with
a subterranean lake, which will be con-
tinually replenished from deep wells in
the chalk and the Thames above Hamp-
ton Court. The reservoirs will contain
60,000,000 gallons of water, and be the
largest of their kind In the world. The
construction generally is of brickwork and
concrete. the bricks having been made on
the spot from clay dug during the excava-
tions But none of these spacious under
ground halls, cool and ralatial, will ever be
seen by the public, fer soon ready
they will be filled Ito the brin,' the roofing
arches covered with earth, grass sOwn,
and possibly municipal garden estab-
lished upon 1t.

BALTIMORE, August 3--Mrs Alma Har-
ris, $40 West Saratoga street, was found
walking in her sleep on Fayette street near
Pearl shortly after midnight Thursday by
Patrolman Squires Of the western district.
Squires was walking down Pearl street
when he saw a white-clad figure. barefoot
ed, that turned out of Pearl street and
moved swiftly down Fayette street. The
policeman hesitated for a moment, for this
was his first encounter with q ghost, but
finally he approached the swiftly moving
wrath from the rear and touched II on the
shoulder. 1t felt pretty solid for ghost,
SO he investigated further and found II was
woman walking in her sleep. Squires
woke her and she promptly tainted. On
being revived she was able to give her
name and address and was taken home in
the western patrol wagon.

might never have existed had 1t not beer
for the unmartial spirit of a certain bands
man in the Hanoverian Guards a century
and a half ago, who appreciated his calling
so little that he deserted and came to Eng
land.
At Bath he obtained appointment as
Organist, post which left him SO much
spare time that he made himself tele-
scope, and with it, in 1881, discovered IRA
nus. George III at once made him his pri.
vate astronomer and built the Slough OBJ
servatory, In return for which the astrono.
mer named the hew planet Georges Star, a
name never accepted outside of England
and long since discarded.
At Slough the kings astronomer made
many notable discoveries, was created Sil
William Herschel in 1916 and died four
years later. His equally famous son, Sil
John Herschel, father of the late professor
is buried in Westminster Abbey.

The jamestown Exposition Default.

Treasury officials are not alarmed because
the jamestown exposition authorities have
failed to remit the first 5000 due on the
loan of 100000 made by the government
to the exposition and guaranteed by the
gate receipts. 1t is the expectation of Sec
retary Cortelyou that the exposition VIII
be success and will be able to meet its
obligations to the government. Under the
terms of the loan the Treasury would be
authorized to take charge OF the gate re-
ceipts from now on, but the government
is anxious to keep out of the exposition
business as long as possible. and will not
attempt anything of this kind at present,
believing that the debt will be met in due
time.

Refusal ReSciuded.

United States Minister Beaupre abIed
the State Department today from Buenos
Aires that the Argentine government has
reconsidered its action in refusing entry to
American deviled ham on the ground that
it contained borax in harmful quantities.
The Agricultural Department here had al
ready found this charge to be practically
unfounded, the ham containing less than
one-t housandth Of ! per cent of borax-
not adulterant or a preservative. but merely
trifiing impurity.. Therefore a protest
was about to be lodged against the eXclu-
sion order when notice came today that it
had been rescinded.

consequences
ployers' Association has assumed the posi-
ton 1t has taken: that there Is nothing to
confer about: that hereafter non-union con-
dftions will prevail in the building trades If
they can make 1t possible.
Settlement Desired.
I'VE desire a settlement. a pleasant one,
and stand ready to do anything In our
power to bring about an honorable one, and
again regret that they have assumed the
hostile position they have taken.
In conclusion we wish to say to the pub
lie that 1t Is the desire of the association
that 1t run Its business as 1t sees fit: we
grant that, now and always have. but we
propose to also run our business as will con-
serve the best interests Of the working peo-
pie. and we believe that the sympathy and
support Of the public will be given to the
Workingmen Of the District of Columbia in
their efforts to maintain their organization
and preserve the relationship between the
employer and the employee.

stone was able to see a striking increase in
the percentage of dark-haired people in
England. The dark races generally
brachycephalic, or round-headed, where the
Saxons were dolichocephalic, or long
headed. Round heads are supposed to be
artistic and executive. long heads reflective
and philosophical.
If Plato, Demosthenes, Phidias. Aeschy-
lus, Homer, Pericles and Alexander had
hatters, and II these hatters were here to
testify, it would probably be found that the
great philosopher, orator, sculptor. TRACE
dian, poet, statesman and general Of the
Grecian world had heads of about the
average present size. A Greek peanut
seller in New York today, a young Italian
form and features of a classic statue.
Neither the Venus of Milo nor the Apollo
Belvedere has an especially large head. but
the proportion is in each case exquisite. An
extraordinarily large head may belong to q
man of genius or it may be the mark Of
idiocy.
