A MECHANICAL FEAT.

Saving Stone House In Two With
Steel Cord. s 3G y
y They have just performed an ex-
traordinary feat Of mechanical engi-
neering In an extraordinary way in
Paris. 1t became necessary to isolate
the electric plant in the Rue st.
Roch from the houses that adjoin it
because Of the incessant tremor which
Its vast dynamos sent through these
houses. The foundations and the ia
gcade were continuous masonry, but
the side walls were separate. So only
the heavy piers Of the foundation and
the stones Of the facade had to be
considered. Tearing down was impos-
sible at least so far as the basement
was concerned. So Mr.. Friese the
company's architect, conceived the
idea Of saving the buildings apart.
Every one is familiar with the cord
that is. used for cutting butter and
soap, but most people will be astonish-
ed when told that there is also cord
for cutting stone. This is used in
saving blocks of marble. It is an
endless spiral cord Of steel wire, draw
ing with it wet sand, the friction Of
which cuts rock. This is just what
was used for saving the electric plant
away from the adjacent buildings.
An elaborate framework was erected
upon the sidewalk, with pulleys and
counterbalancing weights and travel
ing motor. A well was dug to receive
the water and sand and pipe to con-
vey 1t. A horizontal hole was bored
tat the top Of each pier of the founda-
ton, and the steel cord was threaded
through these SO as to work upon all
at once. The motor which operated
the cord descended with it as fast as
1t cut the masonry. About every TWEEN
ty hours the cord was worn out, and
new one had to be substituted. 1t
cut between three and four inches an
hour. When the masonry had been
cut all the way down a second cut
was made two inches from the first,
thus leaving layer Of stone which it
was easy to break away, and so the
walls were separated from their neigh
bors by clean space Of two inches.
In a similar way the facade was cut
away. There was no interruption Of
work or damage to the buildings

ANOTHER RACE QUESTION

A colored woman, writing to the
Grand Forks Herald, sets forth what
seems to be well founded grievance
and yet one that it is difficult to sug-
gest means for adjusting. She says
in her communication:
81 want to ask what is the matter
with the hotels of Grand Forks; are
they drawing the color line? i
ct arrived in Grand Forks at
seven-thirty Monday evening, went
to hotel; they were full; might have
bed if paid for two. I tried five
other hotels. I finally went back to
the first hotel and paid for two beds
and there was only one in the room
and a very poor one at that, on the
third floor.
81 was down on business, and also
was in the Herald Office, and paid up
subscription for the Herald. @
/ did not get my business attend
ed to in time to come home so after
being out all day, on the streets most
of the time, went back to the hotel
where had stayed; got bed but
had to pay two prices for it again.
\ We are taxpayers of Grand Forks
county. My husband has been in
this county for over twenty-five years
and have lived here for twenty-five
years ",
The evident deduction from her
letter is that the hotel did not want
her patronage and took this means of
discouraging it. And yet the proba-
bility is that she conducted herself
properly, required no more care or
attention than the average lodger
and paid for what she got in the
same kind of money. She was a citi-
zen and entitled to the equal pro-
lection of the laws and to deal and
trade on equal terms with anyone
else, and yet she finds that because Of
her color she is not wanted in a ho-
tel, where white people constitute the
total patronage, save in such rare in
stances as hers. It all suggests the
Inference that much of our boosted
equality is myth, even with our
selves and that the color line does not
have to be drawn--it draws itself. AS
to remedy for her grievance, it is
not , easy to suggest one. But it tends
to prove that it is only because Of
the absence of the necessary that
we do not have live race question
up north.

RattIers Keep Away Fishermen.

q There is q good fishing place over in
Greene county which is but little visit
ed and where there are said to be
black bass .as long as your arm, 1t
is called Black lake, a short distance
beyond Grenne's lake, but to get to it
one has to go among rattlesnakes, and
it is the snakes that keep the fisher
men away from the lake.
A German who has a truck farm
near the lake and who brings loads
of vegetables to Hudson every spring
and summer says the rattlesnakes are
so numerous that he has been trying
to get some of his neighbors to COM
bine with him and buy half a dozen
razorback hogs TO let loose in the
neighborhood and destroy the snakes,
but his neighbors do not feel SO in
clined, and the snakes flourish.

VICE IN SUBJ
DUED DRESS
DISTRICT WITHOUT
RED LIGHTS.-SALOONs AND
TINsEL TRAPPINGs TO BE
ELIMINATED.

Seattle, Aug. 3.-Mayor Miller to-
day announced one of the most
sweeping municipal reforms which
has ever been inaugurated on the Pa
cif1c coast in dealing with vice.
Mayor Miller not only proposes to
move the restricted district from it's
present location, but in the new en-
virons the habitues will be without
saloons, or glazing lights, or any of
the distinctive features that have
marked the district in the past.
No liquor resorts, no musical de-
vices, no generous display of lights
or signs, no lettering, no open air
amusement halls, no open windows
or doors, no shooting galleries, no
penny arcades-in fact, none of the
amusement devices that have from
the beginning marked that section
set aside for the gilded jens of vice
will be permitted
On July 3 Mayor Miller was called
upon by delegation of Second ward
citizens. They urged that the mayor
during his campaign had promised to
move the restricted district. During
that conference Mayor Miller gave
understand that one month from that
date he would announce the new To-
cations. Today that one month is
up.

L. H. BELSER
A SUICIDE
Well known Citizen of Wenatchee
Takes His Own Life at MedfOrd.
Oregon Last Night. Liquor the
CauSe.-CreateS Great Sensation.

A sensation was caused on the
streets of Wenatchee this morning
by the receipt of a telegram by the
Daily World to the effect that l.. H.
Belser, highly respected citizen of
this city and a member of the munic-
ipal council, had killed himself at
Medford, Oregon.
The first news was the following
telegram from Seattle through the
special news service of the World:
''''L. H. Belser, Wenatchee Realty
dealer, kills himself in Medfor1,
Oregon"
The following is the subsequent
message received from the Medford
Daily Tribune:
Medford, Ore, Aug 81. H.
Belser suicided at the Nash Hotel in
this city at 9:45 last night He had
been here ever since the 9th of July
for the purpose of looking over the
land in this community.
For the past week he has been
drinking heavily. Last night three
of his friends went up to his room to
quiet him while nervous. Soon af-
ter their arrival he placed rifle to
his temple and shot, dying instantly.
w. E. Johnson, formerly of Wenat-
chez, was one of his friends who
were in his room at the time the
shooting was done. The only motive
that can be ascribed for the act was
the fact that liquor had gotten the
best of him.
He was man we'll liked here by
those whom he met"
The news when first received in
Wenatchee could hardly be believed
by any one. The word was passed
down the street from one to another,
and within a few minutes the tele-
phone at the World Office was busy
answering messages asking as to the
