TO HAVE NEW HOME
HANDSOME STRUCTURE is BEING
BUILT FOR FRENCH EMBASSY.
VIII Have Wings Divided from Main
Roof by Portieo, in Old Roman
styIe-Erected by Ex.Sen-
ator Henderson.

One of the imposing houses in proc
ess of erection on Sixteenth street is
the home in which ex-senator and
Mrs. Henderson will build the French
embassy 1t will be home for the
ambassador and office of the en-
bassy.
The plans ea1l, for a house of impos'
ing style. The proposed arrangement
can be likened to- the homes Of the
rich Romans at the time of Caesar
and Nero, where certain wings were
divided from the main roof by por-
tico or colonnade, thus allowing Doth
sides privacy, and at the same Tune
convenience Of reach. The plan W!A
be followed in the part that VIII acs'
ually be used as the Offices OF the
embassy and the home of the amoas-
sador. It is held that such DIVISION
will facilitate matters and VIII o1er
advantages. For instance, the wing
given over to the Offices is to be
built for commercial purposes, while
the other will retain all the comforts
of the home, intended only for such
use.
In planning the residence the archi-
teet chose the modern French style OF
architecture as the type of the new
house. The exterior will be construct.

New POSTAGE Rates,

New postage rates between the
United States and foreign countries,
adopted at the Rome convention in
May, 1866, went into effect on DC.
tober 1.
At the post office department the
prediction is made that the new re-
ply coupon will become very popu-
lar in foreign correspondence. This
coupon costs six cents in America.
Upon its presentation at a post Of
fee in any of the countries signing
the convention, and this includes prac,
tically every country in Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia and South America,
the bearer will be given, without
charge, postage stamp of that coNn.
try equivalent to a five-cent United
States postage stamp. By this ar.
rangement person in the United
States can furnish his correspondent
in either of the signatoHy countries
with a postage stamp with which to
prepay postage on reply. to his let
ter. 1t is believed by the department
that it will be very helpful to business
men seeking to develop BUSINESS in
foreign country.
The rate on foreign letters will be
reduced to five cents for the first
ounce and three cents for each addi'
tional ounce or fraction thereof. Pre-
viously, the rate has been five cents
half ounce, or more than twice as
much for letters weighing more than
an ounce.

IcERERGS HAVE THEIR USE.
They Built the Fishing Banks and
Cool Our Summers.

When an iceberg is launched upon
its long journey, its bottom parts are
barnacled with sand, powders and
other detrius gathered from the land
surface over which it has made it's
tedious march to the sea. This bur-
den is gradually cast off as it melts
while drifting down along our con-
tirental seaboard.
AS a result of the deposits thus
made through countless centuries,
combined with the products of erosion
carried seaward by the rivers, the sea
bed for many miles off shore has been
gradually filled up. creating those vast,
submerged plateaus, known as
banks which extend from Labrador
to the bay of Fundy and form the
breeding grounds of innumerable
shoals of cod, herring and other val
liable food fishes.
In this way the bergs have per-
formed an economic service of incal-
culable value, laying the foundation
for one of the worlds most important

means of livelihood to those hardy
bands OF captains courageous who
each year reap the harvests of the sea.
The bergs serve further economic
purpose in that to their tempering in,
huence are largely due the climatic
conditions prevailing over a great
part of the interior of North Ameri.

DECORATING with Flowers.

When decorations are very extern
siye, the brac-a-brac is sometimes en-
tirely removed. It depends largely
upon the character Of the bric-a-brac
whether this is necessary. Surely
enough must be removed to prevent
an impression Of crowding when the
flowers are added. Very frequently
however, some of the bric-a-brac can
be used with the floral decorations to
obtain an artistic effect. Pieces OF
brass and copper are very effective
used against green foliage and In
Frightening up dark corners. Brass
candlesticks with burning candles are
a wonderful addition. Candle light is
the most artistic light possible, and
will enhance all the beauties of the
decorations. Masses Of holly with ita
brilliant red berries, red candles in
brass candlesticks. and the only light
that of the candles, and of an open

1907 A RED LETTER YEAR.
Riqht to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries of Europe.

Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1907 as red
letter year for their sex. Their first
notable step ahead this year was the
granting of parliamentary suffrage to
the women of Norway. Then Swedish
women were made eligible for munich
nal Office; next came the granting to
the women OF Denmark of the right
to vote for and serve as members of
boards Of public charities, and now
the British parlia ,aent has just passed
the bill making women eligible as
town and county councillors and alder
men.
In 1883 when the county councils
were instituted in England it was
thought that women were eligible, and
three-Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss
lane Golden and Miss Cons-Were
elected by the voters of London. Beres-
ford Hope. who had been defeated by
Lady Sandhnrst, contested the cleo

not eligible. The litigation was pro

IT'S 4MlsTERo IN U. s. PRlNrERY.
New Rule Amazes the compositors
and Binders.

This was a day of agony for the
thousands of employees Of the govern
ment printing office. ''Bill'' dared not
call "Skeets" by the name he had
been using for years and years. He
had to think Of "Skeets' proper
family designation and then address
him as Mr.. So-and-So.
Nor dared "Bill' refer to Miss Ara
mintha Jones as Dizzy because she
is a blonde.
1t was all on account of the new or
der of Public Printer Stillings requir-
ing the prefixes of Mr. Mrs. and Miss
when one employe addresses another
during working hours.
It is in violation of the rule for
Smith to call Jones by his last name
alone.
oh, say. Name, where'd you get
the open worRs?" was an unlawful
way for Miss Susan O'Brien to adj
dress her chum, Miss Mary Ann
OBrien. It was equally unlawful for
Sissy" Jones to answer any person
addressing her by the name she has
gone by for 35 OF 40 years.
1t was hard for the simpering
Peaches Daugherty in addressing
her Charlie when she wanted to know
the day of the month, for calendars
and clocks were banished by Stillings,
though he. requires each employe to
make out card at the end of each
days work telling how every minute
of the day had been spent.

q scurrying and excitement In the mar

NOT LIABLE
ON BOND,
SAYS TRENT

At the meeting of the Board of SUI
Lorvisors last night a communication
from County Treasurer Trent was
read, in which he notified the Board
that in accordance with the resolu-
ton of the Board the County money
mad been deposited In the various
banks specified. Trent wrote that,
having been advised that the action
on the part of the Board absolves the
Treasurer and his bondsmen from all
liability on account of deposits so
made, he would be glad to avail him
self of the authority granted.
Deputy. County Attorney Olson
failed to agree with this view of the
matter, and in written opinion on
the subject he said:
with the latter proposition ! can
Lot agree. Section fO9 above quoted
specifically provides that for deposits
made pursuant to its terms, which
under the view hereinbefore express
ed covers any deposits that may be
made pursuant to the said resolu-
ton, the County Treasurer shall be
liable on his official bond In
any event, whether or not the view
that the approval of the Board to
such deposits Is required is correct,
IN my opinion the resolution passed
by the Board could not relieve the
Treasurer or his sureties from their
obligations under their bond. The
Board of Supervisors is given no pow

County officers. II the approval OF

Yesterday d. p. Lawrence. Registrar
Of Vital Statistics of the Board of
Health, was called to the stand to ties.
tify to the marriage of Kekauoha to
his wife. Lawrence brought along
his record book, In which was record
cd the marriage, and the record was
read into the reporters notes.
Perry promptly objected to the ad.
mission Of this as evidence. and raised
the point that the law provides for no
such Office as that Of Registrar of
Vital Statistics He demanded that
Lawrence produce his commission.
Lawrence was excused TO get Il. but
when he returned, he did not have all
the various commissions that have
been issued to him, so Perry objected
some more, and the matter went over
until this morning.
Today Lawrence was again put on
the stand, and again Perry raised the
same objections. He claimed that the
law provided for no such Office. and
therefore Lawrence had no right to
record the marriage, and his evidence
was inadmissible.
Dunno made his objections look like
pretty small potatoes. and the Judge,
OF course, overruled them.
No testimony of vital importance
has yet been brought out, except that
