FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eccentricity on the Part of Those
Building and Furnishing Houses.

Instances of eccentricity on the part
Of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
of freakishness in that regard may be
cited in illustration of certain phases.
A Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost of 5000 rubles on his country
estate at Savinowka, in PCdolia, a 16-
room house made entirely of paper.
This house, which was constructed in
New York, is calculated by its archi-
teCt to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too, is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath, Ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
windows are made to resemble in out
line the backs of of easy chairs, being
thus constructed by its eccentric own
eer to match the backs of a set Of
chairs in the dining-room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked a church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting a row of cottages
oO uVoi5iCu as W ItStInDlc, from HIS
side the editice required Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham Is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man of scientific
attainments, as well as of considerable
means, elected to live in a tree in a
suburb of Washington-tha is, he en-
joyed his leisure moments in the
branches of the tree itself, where he
had caused to be built a platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use of during the day
At the base of the tree, however
and surrounding it was built a struc.
ture OF brick and stone inclosing the
sleeping apartments of this eccentric
individual. For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights of the national capital.
One of the oldest houses ever con.
structed was the fruit of a French
mans inventive fancy This was the
revolving house" a structure actual.
~ built upon casters, so to speak, IN
order that the occupant might by
means of an ingenious mechanism at
any time roll 1t about, obtaining what,
ever light and air his fancy dictated.

When we were married two years
ago, Postum was among our first order

had stood around the pantry about a
year untouched, they were thrown
away, and Postum used only.

Proves Warm Theme in Chiefs
Communication.

President Roosevelts sizzling mes
sage to congress asked the enactment
of fair employers liability law, more
powers for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the executive again
called to the attention of the law
makers his campaign against the "spe-
cially privileged rich" Regarding the
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court, the president said:
"As regards the employers liability
law, / advocate its immediate rccnaCt-
ment, limiting it's scope so that it shall
apply only to the class of cases as TO
which the court says it can ConStitu-
tionally apply but strengthening it's
provisions within this scope. Interstate
employment being thus covered by an
adequate national Jaw, the field of in
trastate employment will be left to the
action of the several states. with this
clear definition of responsibility the
states will undoubtedly give to the
performance of their duty within their
field the consideration the Importance
of the subject demands.
1T also very urgently advise that n COM
prehenSivc act be passed providing for
compensation by the government to all
employees injured in the government
service. Under the present law an in
jured workman in the employment of
the government has no remedy. and
the entire burden of the accident falls
on the helpless man, his wife, and his
young children. This is an outrage.
1t is q matter of humiliation to the ma
ton that there should not be on our
statute books provision to meet and
partially atone for cruel misfortune

Would See Traffic Associations.

Uniformity of railroad rates was an
other one of the executives themes
which is of interest to the general pub
lie and President Roosevelt advised q
pool of traffic associations for the pur-
pose OF comforting on rates. In that
connection he continued as follows:
II desire to repeat my recommends
ton that railways be permitted to form
traffic associations for the purpose of
comforting about and agreeing upon
rates, regulations, and practices affect
ing interstate business in which the
members of the association are mu-
tRatly ,intere sisted, This does not mean
to pool their earnings or their traffic
The law requires that rates shall be
tween individuals. localities. or differ
ent species of traffic. Ordinarily rates by
all competing lines must be the same
AS applied to practical conditions. the
can not be conducted according to law
without what is equivalent to confer
snce and agreement The. articles UNI
der which such associations operate
should be approved by the commission;
all their operations should be open to
pubic inspection; and the rates, regu-
lations and practices upon which they
agree should be subject to disapproyal
by the commission"
Then followed a roast" on the evil
rich" The president told of the cam
paign which the wealthy lawbreake rs
conducted and set forth remedial legis-
lation. His statement in that regard
lOIlOWS'
Under no circumstances would we
countenance attacks upon law-abiding
property, or do aught but condemn
those who hold up rich men as being
evil men because of their riches. on
the contrary our whole effort is to in
sst upon conduct, and neither wealth nor
property nor any other class distinction
as being the proper standard by which to
Judge the actions Of men. For the hon
est man of great wealth we have a
hearty regard, Just as we have n hearty
regard for the honest politician and hon
est newspaper; But part Of the move
ment to uphold honesty must be a move
ment to frown on dishonesty. We at
TACK only corrupt men of wealth, who
hnu IN the purchased politician the most
tHclcnt instrument of corruption and I'm
me purchased newspaper the most EN-
Gent defender Of corruption. our main
quarrel is not with these agents and
representatives OF the interests. They
derive their chief power from the great
sinister offenders who stand behind
them, They are but puppets who move
as the strings are pulled. 1t Ia not the
puppets, but the strong cunning men
and the mighty forces working for evil
behind and through, the puppets with
whom we have TO deal We seek 10 con
troll law-defying wealth; I'm the first place
TO prevent it's doing dire evi to the re-
public, and in the next place TO avoid

Assails Injunction Abuse.

TSoo'lo FNbhSSs
Abuse of the use. OF, the Injunction
for the executive. He declared there
is some need for action regarding the
rights and wrongs of labor from black
listing to boycotting. Continuing, he
said:
"As regards injunctions. can do lit
tie but repeat what l have said in my

most unwise to abolish the use of the
process Of injunction 1t is necessary

they may in effective manner check
disorder and violence. The Judge who

there is no question in my mind that
1t has sometimes been used heedlcssly

casionally irreparable wrong upon
those enjoined."
That the Santa Fe railroad president
had guilty knowledge of rebating is an
assertion which the executive made
with effect. In, his message he in
closed letters of correspondence, which
he declared point to the truth of his
statements. His words in this con-
nection are:
I'm enclose herewith a statement is
porations in answer to certain state
ments (Which l also enclose). made by
and on behalf of the agents of the
of the attorney general containing an
answer to certain statements, also in
Santa Fe Railway Company. The
Standard Oil Corporation and the rail-
way company have both been found
guilty by, the courts, of criminal mis-
conduct; both have been sentenced to
pay heavy fines; and each has issued
and published broadcast these state
ments, asserting their innocence and
denouncing as improper the action of
the courts and iures in convicting them
elaborate are very ingenious, and are
untruthful in important particulars
The letter and Enclosure from Mr..
Heney sufficiently illustrate the meth
DDS of the high officials of the Santa
F'e and show the utter falsity of their
plea of ignorance, the similar plea of
the Standard Oil being equally with

and each can do certain amount
that the other cannot do. while the

be obtained by the representatives of
