Peril. Of Our DWELLING Houses.

The scholars in one of the Fuchow
Chinese schools were recently desired
to write an essay in English on the
subject of which Are the Healthier,
Chinese or Foreign Dwelling HousesY'
One young man "spook" about the
matter with his friends" and they
said that the Chinese building is
much better than foreigners" This,
he adds. was the senses of their de-
BATE"
1.-THE foreign building is too heigh
and coverless and always built on the
top of the hill. In the summer time II
receives the most heat from the sun.
The people who living in il is the same
as putting In the stove, but In winter
it is fully filed by the sharp air
which cut the faces of whom living in
it. So that the foreigner is compelled
to put themselves on fire. The fire
would do our bodies harm. AS we

beef on the fire by and by the beef

NEW YoRk's BoWERY.
Why the Upper Part of 1t Was Named
Fourth Avenue.

Why the Upper Part of It Was Named
Fourth Avenue.
In the early forties of the last CEN
fury there lived in Brooklyn a Mr..
and Mrs. Smith. Mr.. Smith was a ris-
ing civil engineer, and most Of his
work was in New York. 1t was nee
essary that he be nearer his place Of
business than Brooklyn, for in those
days ferries were slow and infrequent..
no bridges spanned the river, and horse
cars were the speediest means of
transit. Being man Of moderate
means, Mr.. Smith went house hunting
through the streets of New York, seek
ing a modest but respectable abode.
Near the upper end of the Bowery he
found a small house. Elated with his
to his wife. But when he mentioned
the name of the street in which this
house stood his wife's face fell.
"How could you think of it?" she
asked. Smith was in despair.
Even as far back as 1910 the Bow
tatiOn. Mr.. Smith tried to explain
that the upper part of the Bowery
was still untarnished; that many very
respectable people lived in that part
of town; that it would be many long
years before crime and sin would
spread that far north.
1t was all wasted energy. The fact
that she would be living on the Bow
cry was sufficient for Mrs. Smith.
AS a civil engineer it was Mr..
Smiths custom to overcome obstacles.
The following day he hired a convey
ance, and he and Mrs. Smith went
house hunting together Mrs. Smith
knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but
had only a slight acquaintance with
New York. After driving through
many streets without finding a suita-
bic house the husband quietly turned
into the Bowery at Union square and
slowly walked the horse in the direc-
ton of the house he had found the
previous day.
Suddenly Mrs. Smith exclaimed,
"Why, there's a pretty place to let,
dearr'
"Where% listlessly questioned her
husband, purposely looking in the op-
posite direction. Had Mrs. Smith not
been so intent upon the house in ques-
ton she might have noticed the mer-
ry twinkle in her husbands eyes and
suspected something.
Fright over there" she replied,
pointing to the house with the "To
Let" sign.
An examination of the premises cor
WINGED Mrs. Smith that she must hav
the place, and when she learned that
her neighbors were old friends of hers
she had her husband close the bar
gain at once.
All this time no mention was made
Of the street. How Smith managed to
move into the house and keep Mrs.
Smith in the dark as to the name of
the street is a mystery. But there
came a day, and there was a storm
The tear fall was something heretofore
unknown in the Smith household.
Once again Mr. Smiths habit of
overcoming obstacles stood him in
good stead. His wife would not live
on the Bowery. Her home was ideal,
her neighbOrs were good people, but
they lived on the Bowery. So Smith
and one Of his neighbors went before
the board OF aldermen. The neighbor
had influence. The street signs from
Union square down to Fourth street
were changed. Instead Of "Bowery"
the words Fourth avenue" were sub
stituted.
And Mrs. Smith was happy ever aft

THE THAW TRIAL.

William Travers Jerome, represen
tative of the people, made mastery
plea that justice be done in the case
of Harry Kendall Thaw. Vindictive
ness, sneers, insinuations, all were
lacking; logic, analysis and a calm
consideration of the facts were their
substitutes.
Martin w. Littleton, chief counsel
In the defense of Harry X. Thaw,
asked for the acquittal of his client
upon the ground of insanity, declaring
he could not see how, in the face OF
the evidence, the jury could render
any other verdict.
Taking OF evidence in the second
trial OF Harry X. Thaw for killing
Stanford White ended without Mr..
Jerome having made any attempt to
combat, with expert testimony, the
insanity claim of the defense.
The Thaw defense closed its case
with "manic-depressive' insanity as
the explanation of the death of Stan
ford White at the hands of the young
Pittsburg millionaire, according to
three alienists.

which directed his detention until dis

BOYCOTTS ARE UNLAWFUL.
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST LABOR UNIONS.
The Sherman Antitrust Law Is Held
TO Apply to Worklngmen as
Well as Corporations.

Washington. d. c. - For the third
court of the United States on Monday
promulgated an opinion constituting
laws adversely to the contentious of
organized labor
The first of the decisions was rem
dered January in the case of some
railway employees who sought to se-
cure damages under what is known as
the employers liability law" MAX
ing railroads responsible for injuries
resulting from the negligence of fell
low servants, which law the court held
to be unconstitutional.
The second important finding in this
line was announced on the 23d ult.,
when the Erdman arbitration act, for
bidding the discharge of employees be-
cause they are members of labor un-
ions, was also declared to be invalid.
The verdict rendered Monday was
in the case of Lawlor VS.. Loewe, the
former member of the Hatters' union
and the latter hat manufacturer Of
Danbury, Conn. The case involved
the applicability of the seventh Sec
ton of the Sherman ANTITRUST law to
conspiracies by labor unions to boy
colt articles entering into Interstate
trade. Under the terms of that pro.
vision the complaining party may coh
lect three times the amount Of his loss
if the charge Is sustained.
The union fought the case on the
ground that the law was inapplicable
to such organizations, but the court.
whose opinion was announced by
Chief Justice Fuller failed to accept
this view and in effect held that the
unions could not be permitted to in
terfere by boycott with the free ex-
change Of commerce between the
states. There was no dissenting opin-
ion.

torn by internal dissensions the past
few months, terrorized by acts of
crime and bloodshed, uprisings in the

most feared, and quiet reigned. Sun

monarchy.

No more beautiful day could be
imagined than that which hereafter
will mark the date on which King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz met
their death. Returning from soiourn
at the kings estate at Villa Vicosa, ac-
companied by the queen, the crown
prince and Prince Manuel, the sover-
eign seemingly was in happy mood
when he stepped into the carriage in
waiting at the railroad station.
AS the carriage turned into the Rua
Do Arsenal there was cracking of
guns and a shower of bullets tore
their way into the bodies of the king
and crown prince and the little prince,
who proved an easy target. The as
sassins, numbering six in all, ran up
to the sides of the carriage and
poured in a hail of lead before the
escort could intervene. The king and
crown prince, half rising, fell back in
to the cushions, the blood gushing
from many wounds. The coachman
whipped his horses and they dashed
away, disappearing into the arsenal
quadrangle. The panic-stricken peo-
pie, who had fed on all sides, could
see the queen leaning over the crown
prince and her younger son, who also
was bleeding from wounds made by
the assassins' bullets.
AS he saw his father and brother
fall, Prince Manuel whipped out a re-
volver and discharged it at the men,
but was himself struck on the right
arm by bullet from a carbine.
The kings guard then charged upon
the assassins, pursuing them down the
streets and riddling three of them with
bullets.

KEEPING HIM ON TIME.
Since Walters PunIehment He Hasn't
Been Late Once.

Walter Is not bad boy-as boys
go. He is inclined to be careless in
some things, particularly in regard to
getting in from play in time for the
family dinner, which is eaten at n
stated hour. Repeated seedlings and
warnings had no effect, and on the
average of three nights out of the
week he was invariably late in re-
porting for dinner. His excuse was
always the same-he didn't know
what time it was"
Walters father does not believe in
corporal punishment. On the other
hand, he found that moral suasion
was ineffective in his sons case, soy
he hit upon another plan. Next aft
ernoon, as Walter was about to go out
to play, the father displayed to hiR
astonished eyes small alarm clock,
stout leather belt with staple at
tachment and small paddock. The
clock was wound and set to ring the
alarm at a quarter of an hour before
the time for dinner. The belt was
made fast around the boys waist, the
clock being secured by the loop in the
top. Before Walter could utter q
word the paddock was snapped into
place and the boy stood like human
clock tower.
Nov, my son." said the father,
grimly. You will be sure to know
when it is time to come in. But, re-
member IL anything should happen tn
tho clock, the price will be deducted
from your monthly allowance"
II won't go out with this clock fas.
tened to me-" said Walter. his eyes
filling with angry tears.
"oh, yes you WILL" said his father
calmly. IF you don't go of your own
accord l will take you around amona
your companions and explain why
you are thus decorated. Furthermore,
you must not return to the house un-
I'll the alarm rings. l want you to
get all the fresh air possible"
Sadly and shamefacedly Walter
skunk out of the house. AS he re-
moved the hated burden that night his
father said: Whenever you are late
for dinner hereafter you will wear the
clock next day as punishment" That
was several days ago, and Walter has
not been late for dinner once.
