1t is to be hoped that the experiment
of shipping in crushed stone from Wau-
kesha for use on our streets when we
have better and cheaper stone at
home will not be tried again. The
wearing power of our local stone is not
to be exceeded by any other limestone
in existence. Our own experience for
the last Is years ought to be worth
something in this particular.

So many panes of glass in Cd Mr..

that he had at last offered a reward of
10 shillings TO any one who should

A Nickname For Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett. the tragedian, was
subject to dyspepsia. and when he was
suffering from that disorder he was
cold and distant toward his company.
One irreverent fellow always refused,
however. to be suppressed. He said one
day: Just look at Cassius. He looks
as solemn and righteous as if he'd
swallowed the sword of justice. Let's
call him the Scabbard." And the Scab-
bard be was-out of his harrington
the rest of that season.

BURDEN TOO HEAVY
FOR NEW ORLEANS
City Already Struggling Under an
Indebtedness of S4O,o16.o18.13.

City Already Struggling Under an
Indebtedness of $40,916,9f3.13.
New Orleans is far from being a
unit in favor of the proposed state
tax to raise fund of $6,5O0,OOO in
aid Of the Worlds Panama exposi-
ton.
The New Orleans Taxpayers Pro
tective association has adopted a
strong resolution, which is being
widely distributed in the form of a
circular letter, advising it's members
to oppose the levy, principally on the
ground that the city is already taxed
and bonded to the limit of endurance
and that the taxpayers are not able
to bear the additional burden.
The letter quotes the comptrcller's
report of Dec. 81, 1909, TO prove that
the present bonded debt of the city
is $32, 521 ,O40, on which the annual
interest amounts to $975,740. In adj
dition to this the water and sewerage
board is attempting to sell $7,G00, 900
of bonds. bearing interest at 4
per cent and the unpaid ordinances
and unfinished contracts for paving
amount to $343,168.33 and 1852, 709 so
respectively, bringing the total In
debtedness of the city up to the enor-
NOUS sum Of $40.716,91S.13.
To the above must be added more
than $4,000. 900, which must be paid
by the city on state bonds now due;
the courthouse commission carries a
debt of s750,000, the dock board
$4,000, 600, and the levee board
$4,000, 900.
Continuing, the letter says: Re
member, also, that IL the city of New
Orleans succeeds in selling her
81 .000, 900 IF bonds, the water and
sewerage board will compel every
property holder, to the number of &c.
900, to put in the sewerage and
waterworks in their premises at a
cost of not less than $3.50 per resi-
dence, thus making the enormous
sum of s16,000.000.
where is all this money TO come
from?
"The taxpayers FEST that the inter-
est on the outstanding Indebtedness
is now over $1,400,000 and will alb
sorb all the revenue if the debt is
Oermitted to accumulate"

EXPOSITION FIGHT
INTERESTS COUNTRY
San Francisco OutcIasses New
Orleans In Every Respect.
The great fight that is being waged


The great fight that is being waged
between San Francisco and New Or
leans for the honor of celebrating the
completion of the Panama canal is
attracting the attention of the entire
contest between the two cities, but be-
tween California and Louisiana, the
legislatures CT which have each au-
thorized state tax to raise funds
in aid of the proposed International
exposition.
In financial standing California is
SO far ahead of Louisiana that it's
superior ability to finance the fair
must be conceded, and if the question
of selecting a site for the exposition
were to be decided on a basis of the
relative wealth of the contestants,
congress would have no option, but
would be forced to award the coveted
honor to- San Francisco.
To the unprejudiced observer it is
difficult to see wherein New Orleans
has any legitimate claim to recognt--
ton as the logical point for the ex-
position, aside from the mere fact
that it is located nearer to the center
of population. In beauty of surround.
ings, climatic advantages, ability to
handle the hundreds of thousands of
prospective visitors, general progress
sive spirit of its people nd record
of achievement, San Francisco stands
head and shoulders above it's rival.
According to the report of the ma
tional monetary commission on April
%, 1909, the population of California
was 1882, 600, and that of Louisiana
/ $4,000, while in the amount of say
ings deposits California ranked
fourth among the states of the Union
and Louisiana twenty-fourth, the ex-
act figures being as follows:
California 1921, 22S, 437 rs
Louisiana ................ 21,55o,z So ~
California had 525,4ss depositors, aver
aging $5350O; Louisiana 163,814, averag-
ing $26400.
The total resources as represented In
bank deposits were: Cal1TOrnla, SS4z,-
969, $4,000; average per capita $486.70.
Louisiana, S15S, 642 $4,000; average per
capita, $9661.
The following figures are taken
from the report of the reports of the
California comptroller of currency:
San Francisco-Total savings deposits,
$153, 1872 1865; total individual deposits,
s243, 927, 437.47; average, $4,000.
New Orleans-Total savings deposits,
S16,S56, 783.49; total Individual deposits,
$42, 979, Otis; average $4,000.
Increase in resources of National
banks year 1909-191O: San Francisco,
$103, 620, S2S.96 New Orleans, $3.50, 226.74.
In the face of such showing New
Orleans and Louisiana do not appear
to be in the same class with San
Francisco and California, financially.
And California is as much superior
to Louisiana in every other respect
as she is financially, just as San
Francisco is UNNECESSARILY superior
to New Orleans in all that goes to
make great and beautiful city.
San Francisco is the ideal site for
the Panama-Pacifc International ex-
position in 1915. Let congress make
no mistake.

BABY's SCALP cRusTED

"Our little daughter. when three
months old. began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was SO severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap. q
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years of age and a pic

cura Remedies about five weeks. reg

Newark, N. i'm ten minutes twen-
ty-five girls were burned alive Satur-
day or crushed to death on the pave
ment in leaping from the windows
and fire escapes Of the four-story fac
tory building at Orange and High
streets, occupied on the top floor by
an underwear manufacturing concern.
Here the death list was heaviest The
lower floors were occupied by two pa
per box concerns and two electrical
fixture factories. The latest count
shows that twenty Of the twenty-five
bodies recovered have been identified
and that six girls are missing. They
may be among the unidentified dead
or yet in the ruins. The collapse of
a wall interrupted further search.
Fifty were taken to a hospital, of
whom two may die.
The building was exceedingly in
flammable and the first gush OF
flames had cut off all escape by the
stairways. The elevators made one
trip. but took down no passengers
and never came back. The only exit
was by two narrow fire escapes. the
lower platforms OF which were TWEEN.
ty-five feet from the street. On to
these overcrowded and steep lanes,
scorched dancing hot by the jets from
lower windows, pressed forward a
mob of women blind with panic,
driven by the fire and others behind
them.
A net had been spread beneath the
windows and the girls began to jump.
Like rats out of burning bin
was the way fireman described that
descent. They came out of the win
dows like thick treacle rolled up
on the heads OF those below them.
and cascaded off the fire escapes to
the pavement sixty feet below. Some
OF them stood in the windows out
lined against the flames and jumped
clear; others from the landings; still
others from the steps where they
stood The air was full of them and
they fell everywhere-into the net
on the necks of firemen. and fifteen
OF them on the hard stone slabs.
Six girls jumped at once for life,
net. and not one reached it. The
screams of the girls on the upper floor
afraid to take the four-story leap,
with flames sweeping upon them
from behind, sounded above the
shouts of the firemen and the whis
tling and putting OF the engines and
the ringing of bells.
When the awful rain ceased there
were eight dead in the street. and the
cutters ran red. Seven more were SC
badly crushed they died in hospitals
Fifty are still under surgical care.
