RirthpIaea Of chimnaxa.

Chimneys are modern-that Is, chin.
neys with freplaces and fues. None
OF the Roman ruins shows chimneys
like ours. There is none IN the re-
stored buildings in Herculaneum and
PompeiL Roman architects complain
ed that their decorations were smok-
ed up. A kitchen in Rome was al
ways sooty. Braziers were used In the
living rooms The chimney OF aDtiqui-
ty consisted OF hole In the roof. The
wealthy Romans used carefully dried
wood which would burn In the room
without SCOT. The modern chimney
was first used in Europe in the four
teenth century. The oldest certain &C

Ministers crltleIse raft.

Several clergymen In Salt Lake City.
Utah, criticised President Taft from
their pulpits. The main theme OF
their remarks was the presidents re-
fusal TO change his plans which pro
vided for a parade and flag demonstra-
ton of children Sunday.
Objection was also made to the
president holding forth in the Nor
mon tabernacle. Rev. Louis Bowerman.
OF the Baptist church. voiced the sen.
timents of many OF the ministers of
the city when he said:
II think the action OF the president
Is mistake. OF course, I believe in
the policy OF letting every man think
for himself but l can't see how Presi-
dent Taft is going TO gain anything by
refusing to observe the Sabbath.
THE whole proposition is the Nor
mons and their desire 70 get a boost
out OF the visit of the president here.
Every missionary OF the Mormon
church throughout the world will begin
20 gloat over the fact that when the
president OF the United States VISITED
the Utah capital he was the guest OF
the Norman church. / will take the
matter up with the religious press OF
the country and have serious com
ment made upon the action here OF the
president. These publications are in
New York city. Chicago. Boston and
all other important big cities in the
country, and they will be universal in
their denunoiation."
The ministers lay the blame TO the
Mormon influence. into which they say

ator Reed Smoot of Utah. apostle in
the church.

Mistral, Poet of Provence.

Now that he is an octogenarian. his
country is celebrating the fiftieth birth

pie, the customs, the manner of life. in
that country. In the fifty years the poet
has published but seven or eight books
two or three pastorals. a dictionary Of
the language drama and volume of
lyrics-"little detached pieces blown to
me on the wind of emotion or imagina-
tion'-and his Memoirs. The poem
Mireille. took eight years to write. It
is said to contain almost every type OF
the poets landsfolk. and it celebrates
the loves of "Mireile' "a name he caught

In connection with the high death rate
among colored people during the week the
health department gave out statement.
which is follows:
The relatively high death rate among
colored people during the past week is
accounted for largely by the enormous
excess of deaths from diarrheal diseases
among children under two years of age.
Twenty-siX colored children died. as
against six white children. There were.
however. among the colored people eight
deaths from consumption, as against two
among white people from this cause. and
four deaths from whooping cough and
two from infantile commissions among the
colored people, neither of which diseases
contributed at all to the fatalities among
the whites. The significance of these fig
ures can be realized best when they are
considered In connection with the fact
that the coiored people in the community

to have reached as large an amount as the total from that source for all of last week,
 Money, therefore. continues exceedingly easy. Discounts declined in London but rose in Paris, and tho London exchange at Paris also declined. Taken in connection with any further advance in sterling ex- change here, this might lead to resump- tion of gold exports from New York to Paris. Such 8 prospect would be viewed with entire equanimity by the New York financial world. A good deal of encour- agement is felt over the marked improve ment in the government finances. largely by reason of the expansion in customs re- ceipts. The United States treasury, in consequence, finds itself in such resources that an early issue of government bonds is considered to be an unlikely neces- sity.
 The profit-taking sales at the end of the day subtracted about as much from prices of the principal stocks as had been added by the advance, leaving the only notable changes of the day in the class Of stocks which made the feature of the day.
 Bonds were firm; total sales, par value. S7,706,0OO.
