a singular romance is related in con-
neetion with the announcement in the
Irish newspapers of the death, lat ka-
bul. Afghanistan. Of Emily. widow of
Henry Simpson Lincoln
Some twelve years ago a young In
dian Mohammedan studying at the
Royal College of Surgeons at Dublin re-
sided with Mrs. Lincoln. who was about
40 years Of age. When the young In
dian finished his studies she determined
to accompany him back to India. and
left the Unitarian Church for Moham-
mechanism. In the curse of time the
indian obtained a position in kabul as
secretary to the Amir of Afghanistan,
and there Mrs. Lincoln followed him,
braving the formidable journey from
lahore to Kabul by horse and pa1an-
quin, although about 50 years of age.
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged to
live in the retirement observed. by Mo
hammedan women, and saw the young
indian no more. though she was all
lowed to ak with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin friends
told of loneliness beyond expression and
of her belief of approaching death, All

telegram stating that she had passed
away.-London Daily Mail.

MORE BRICK BUILDINGS.
New York Seems to Favor That
Class Of Material.

Brick building is in higher favor than
ever in its history. In the past year
513 brick dwellings We're erected at an
estimated cost of close to 81. 000, 900 in
the Bronx lone and over Sc, 1000. 600 was
invested in brick tenements in hi Dor
ough. In Zach case the expenditure
was more than 81, 000. 900 in excess. OF
the year before. More brick dwellings
and brick tenements We're planned dur
ing the year.
As a result more han one-half of the
construction of the year was devoted
to these two forms of building. Brook
lyn last year put up brick dwellings
and tenement houses at an estimated
cost of $22, DOC, 900. Possibly 81 900, 900
worth of miscellaneous structures were
built in Brooklyn during the year be-
sides those mentioned.
Terra Gotta construction liz q his fac
tor in New York building. Its advan-
tages as construction material is the
ease with which it is moulded into any
desired architectural or sculptural form
and indefinitely repeated. its durability,
its sIightness, its c~heapness and It's
strength.-New York sun.
