WORKERS. DWELL
INGS IN BOHEMIA

Consul U. j. Ledoux, writing from
Prague In regard to a movement for
better workmen's dwellings in Bo-
hemia, says:
The Bohmische Sparkasse, the old
est, largest and wealthiest savings
institution of Bohemia, has an
nounced that on the occasion of the
coming sixtieth jubilee of the en-
peror's reign Il will devote a sum Of
$24O, 900 for the endowment of cheap
cottages for workmen. Advantage
will be taken of bill which passed
the Austrian parliament on July 20,
1902, granting "a years exemption
to such cottages or dwellings as are
erected on open building ground or
on an area of houses demolished TO
the ground, provided these cottages
or dwellings are erected for the spe-
cific purpose of procuring cheap and
healthy residences for laborers and
employees of all kinds, and provided
further that such dwellings come up
to the sanitary requirements specified
in the bill.
On April IL, 1906, the Diet of Bo-
hemia also passed bill granting to
such dwellings a remission of the
provincial and local taxes for the
same term OF years as fixed for the
exemption for imperial government
taxation. A local paper says that
though the imperial governments
bill has been In operation since 1902,
or comparatively little, has
been done for improving the DWELL
ings OF the laboring classes, thus
furnishing proof that in dealing with
problems simple legis-
lation remains Intellectual without
private cooperation. Commenting
further upon this donation, the paper
says that 1t bears the stamp of true
American style, endowment for
great purposes" The initiative taken
by the Bohmische Sparkasse Is the
more welcomed by the public as II

Is going to marry a man younger by
well--some years. Now while some
women would feel hurt at the com

would chop off a few years of their

them to the husband, May doesn't
take that view of Il. She just laughs
and admits she Is the older, and says
she is glad OF It, and that IL is the
proper thing, and succeeds In making

May Irwin was the woman in the

jure with, for It has become synony-
nous with good nature, and good
acting too, and at once calls up a
mental picture of charming tactful
delightful woman, who once met
will always be remembered. A few
days ago she granted an interview TO
a reporter In New York, and before
she got through telling him how SEN

chances for a happy welded life. II
is more difficult to please a woman
OF forty than a young chit of a girl,

Railroads Revivifying the East.

Konia has sort OF double exist
ence. II contains the ruins of the
city of the Seljuk Turks taken by
Frederic Barbarossa, and II is also
modern Turkish town, the home
os the Dancing Dervishes. The Turk
ish town OF today Is a collection of
, cottages of wood or of earth, with In
closure walls OF earth, and also of
Greek and Armenian houses, of wood
or wood with a stone foundation,
which have the dignity of two stories.
The Turkish house, 1t should be said,
is known by its lattice jalousies
which cover the over part OF every
window and prevent the ladies from
being seen, whereas the Christian
house. Greek or Armenian, Is with
out these ornaments. On low hill
, or rock In the center of the town
, stood the Seljuk Palace, of which
one tower was standing until last
week, when half OF IL fell. Here and
there amid the modern town are
fragments of the old Seljuk walls.
and some half a dozen mosques per-
lpetuate tire tradition of an art which
deserves better fate. For the Sell
juk Turks lined the interior of their
mosques with gaience. which, with
its oriental decoration and finely exc
cuted Arabic legends, have even in
the fragments that remain a beauti-
full effect. The Dancing Dervishes
/ have their own mosque, with its pol
ished dancing floor, very much like
/ a western ballroom, and with it's
sarcophagl covered with hangings.
The head of the order is at present
ill., so that II is doubtful when there
will be ceremony, but the place has
a religious air and the Dervish who
shows II Characteristic dignity.
Close to this mosque is the bazar,
full of the normal eastern life and of
picturesque effects. To be enthus-
iastic about Konia one must be an
orientalist and a historian, like the
German consul, DR.. Yoytved, who
has translated all the inscriptions on
the mosques, some of them as fine in
their ideas as they are epigrammatic
In expression. To my mind the con-
trast between the old buildings, fall
ing quickly to ruin, and the present
sQualor is painful But there is also
visible future growing up. The
railway station outside the town has
its neighboring group Of European
buildings, a few Offices and houses
for the employees, and a hotel built
by the company. There, as every
here else, the railway has given the
Neople a market for their produce
and with IL the chance of prosperity.
They appreciate 1t, and no visitor
can pass through the place without
seeing that the railway has put an
end TO a previously existing stagna-
tion and is bringing the people grad
ually into touch with the world and

and its troops of visitors have fed,
and to narrow down shop windows
when Partisan tradesmen have all
widened and heightened theirs taxi
ing their cue precisely from London.
There are evidently two questions
in the scheme for the rebuilding of
Regent street from the shopkeepers'
point of view One is arcades or no
arcades; the other is the size of shop
windows. The two questions are not
necessarily in function" of one an
other, to talk algebraically. One can
imagine, and one has seen, diminu-
J tive shop windows in wide open
streets. Conversely, under arcades
shop windows may be of any size that
will At in. Arcades and galleries
are, of course, italian inventions,
and every town of Italy which has
sufficiently prospered since United
Italy to make herself hideous and up
to date boasts a Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele. These galleries, or ar
cades, are enormous, often of the
height of three stories, and the shop
windows within them are as large as
any shopping eye could want. The
gallery, newly built, at Naples, the
aTcades at Florence, and particularly
the older gallery at Milan, are roomy
enough for the most daring shop
keeper. The Galleria, called, of
course, after the Padre della Patria,
at Milan, is full of the smartest
shops in the town, with windows as
large as any in London.
AS for the other question, there |
are no two shopkeeping minds about |
1t. The larger the window the bigger
the sale, is the tradesman's axiom,
and 1t is probably founded on fact.
If, then, as seems to be the case,
Norman Shaw's proposed arcades in
Regent street are so designed as to
meath, no wonder shopkeepers cry
)ut. AS matter OF fact, fashion and
rade have decided In Paris against
10Th arcades and small shop win
lows. IL is strange that Italy, with
Ter sun, sticks to her galleries, while
n Paris, where it rains almost, IL
lot quite, as much as In London,
treets with arcades are dead or dy-
ng, from the trading point of view.
IN the other hand, Milanese winters
re horrible, while, at the same time,
he Italian galleries may be quite as
luch designed against sun as against p,
ain. Anyhow, Paris has some years
ince given them up most decisively.

Joseph Roy Jolls, the IA year old son OF
Mr., and Mrs. Joseph G. Jolls, died in the
Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, Sun
day evening, following an operation for
appendicitis. His illness dated from
Monday, when he was stricken with
stomach trouble which grew worse until
Saturday when the family physician or
dered the child to Philadelphia to un-

and Mrs. Jolls, their boy and DR.. @. A.
Ritchie left Middletown at $50 O'Clock

performed, and eleven hours later the
little patient expired. The remains were
brought to Middletown and the funeral
took place from his parents residence

being shown the bereaved family and
many were the handsome tokens Of
flowers received. Revs. G. P. Jones, F.
H. Moore and A. Z. Clay had charge Of
the services. Interment was made in
Forest Cemetery, the pall-bearers being
six of his young classmates at school:

4 M1sERABIE HABIT

When one finds he is out OF sympathy
with his town, and can only say good
word for it coupled with an apology, nc
ought to get out. Many people fall into
a sort of UNCONSCIOUS habit of growing
But it's a miserable habit. Such people
make of themselves just dead weight,
while, of course, they imagine them
selves particularly independent. Theindi-
yidual has about all he can do 10 get
along under his own loads and he wants
help and encouragement from those going
his way, and who are identified with
him in interest. So with the town. II
has its interest to care for, and it needs
all the pluck, all the energy, all the
cooperation and helpfullness its citizens
can bring to bear. Every man is a part
of his town. The town embraces the for
tunes, and in some measures at least takes
ON the character Of the man. So loyalty
to ones town is no more than loyalty TO
ones self, and this loyalty is in the line
of all well shaped human nature. There
fore, it is right to say that the man who
does not stand up for Middletown is in
some ways dwarfed. There is something
wrong about him. His fellows will pass
this judgment upon him and the chances
are that while he may add to the discom-
fort Of others, he will not escape making
himself unhappy.

PUBLIC ROAD BUILDING

After having received reports from a
number of counties which have been do
ing experimental work in road-building
under the Shoemaker law, Chief Engi.
neer W. W. Crosby, of the highways d.
vision of the Maryland Geological Survey
last week made the statement that in his
opinion the best and most economical
way in which good roads can be built is
for the counties to do the work them
selves, instead OF letting the roads to con-
tract. Mr.. Crosby's statement is based
upon the reports referred to, which show
that in nearly every instance where
the counties have built roads under
the supervision of their own officers the
work has been done within the cost esti-
mated by the highways division, while
the bids received upon roads advertised
for contract have generally been much in
excess of the estimates.
