By JAMES A. EDGERTON.
Are we approaching the age Of &C.
ment? Is concrete the answer to the
decreasing timber supply? Are we to
have ready made houses just as some
of us now buy ready made clothes? By
standardization the cement houses Of
the Edison and other patterns are as
Stunning much the same relation to ar
chitecture and building as hand-me-
down suits bear to tailoring. The
standardiZing process is that OF MAX
ing many houses from the same molds,
thus materially reducing the cost.
The Edison method of building con-
crete houses is the one above describ-
ed To save time and to prevent too
much sameness in type he recommends
the use of half a dozen different molds
by each construction company. To
build an Edison house the mold is put
in place, and the concrete, consisting
of a mixture of sand, gravel and port
land cement, is poured in; After the
concrete hardens the mold is removed,
and there is your house. During the
hardening process a second mold can
be set up and another house built while
you wait. He estimates that one out
fit consisting of thirty seven men can
thus erect 104 houses each year at an
average cost of $1,000 per house Of six
rooms, with slightly higher expense

Ia GRAVE EASY
FOR W0LGAsT
Cadillac Boy Wins in Fifth When
Opponents Seconds Throw Up
Sponge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April L.
Champion AID Wolgast shows no
marks today OF his engagement here
with Antonio La Grave, a rather OBJ
scure fighter, last night. The cham.
pion won In the fifth, when La Grave &
seconds threw up the sponge as II
was apparent the fighter would not
last through the round.
Wolgast batted his opponent about
the ring, landing whenever and wher-
ever he chose. The fight was too one
sided to be interesting. The Cadillac
boy took the aggressive from the
nrst and his opponent did not have
any opportunity TO rest or even land
return blow.
In the second round the champion
almost brought the bout TO a quick
ending, by sending La Grave through
the ropes with terrific right to the
Jaw and followed this by flooring his
man for the count OF nine.
In the fourth round La Grave took
the count four times and the specta-
tors importuned Referee Jack Welsh
10 stop the fight The last round
found Wolgast beating an almost help
less fighter and his seconds inter
yenod
The men fought at 1873 pounds ring
side. Wolgast was an overwhelming
fayorite at 10 to 4. There was some
betting, at even money, that La
Grave would last Is rounds.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 1t
took Walter Johnson at his best to
win an argument for some of the vet
eran Tigers from George Washington
Simmons last summer, but Walter did
II by a large majority.
Simmons reused the supreme Ire OF
Jim Delahanty and several others by
remarking early in the season that
he'd had a good look at the Ameri
can league and had found out that
IL wasn't bit faster than the East
ern. OF course, there was no argu
ing with Mr.. Simmons. II was q
case that required simple demonstra'
ton.
The demonstration proceeded by
degrees, Delahanty and the rest oc
casionally driving one OF the lessons
home, but Simmons was still uncon
WINGED until one day when Walter
Johnson was handing Detroit one oi
the few iickings IL has taken from the
star twirler of them all.
Simmons sat on the bench and
Grabbed over the failure of his team
mates TO land on Walter with impact
and continuity.
Get real, bigleague hit" he
roared at them from time to time.
They naturally failed to appreciate
this line OF talk and two of them pri
vately requested that Manager Jen'
nings let Simmons go up and take a
look at Il in the ninth when all was
obviously lost. Hughie was agree.

made for the plate in his most Zero
cious mood. From the Tiger bench
there came a growl and a warning
to Johnson which the latter inter
preted in the spirit in which IL was
given.
George Washington Simmons faced
the American leagues star pitcher
with blood in his eye, himself the per.
feet reproduction OF the time-honored
cut on the cover of Spalding's Guide.
Two fast ones Walter whizzed
across the plate. Both OF them were
shoots of dazzling variety. George
Washington Simmons never got his
bat off his shoulder The umpire an
nounced two strikes.
For the next pitch, Walter shifted
from the fast one to the curve, start
ing II for Mr.. Simmons head. G..
Wash. saw IL coming and sat down
without a moments hesitation. The
ball hooked over the middle of the
plate for the final strike, just shoulder
high.
G. Washington Simmons busted OF
his burly person and returned to the
bench. There was silence for few
moments. Then the quiet was broken
by the voice OF Delahanty.
"Of course, It's all bunk about the
American league being faster than
the Eastern" commented Jimde,.
Anybody who can hit there, can hit
mp here. The pitching isn't any hard
er; the only difference is in the
towns"

COLD DOPE.
BY TOM AkERS.


There is a man in our town,
A wise old gink is he;
He wears a fat and furrowed frown--
He knows the players of renown
In the big leagues, you see.
He saw Pop Anson's wonders play
In days of long ago.
And always has a word to say
About the stars of yesterday
Those guys he used TO know
But still. this geeZer is a slob.
A nuisance through and through;
His hammers always on the job,
A knock for Nap, roast for Cobb,
And all the others, too.
He says these heroes are not there
Compared to stars of old.
But he's bughouse fan for fair,
His dope is naught but heated air,
His memory grown cold.

New Churches Built.
The membership of the church
throughout the State has greatly in
creased since the conference last
year. There have been a great num-
Der of revivals. Not only has the
membership increased, but there has
also been an increase in the number
of churches. Anderson has a new
$4,000 church, Sumter $4,000
church. In this line Charleston dis
trict has not been backward in the
least. Ehrhardt circuit has a new
church, recently dedicated by Bishop
H. T. Morrison. Presiding Elder
Herbert has dedicated two new
churches. The congregation of Cum
berland church is preparing to build
new house of worship on Hamp-
stead square at cost of about S10,-

Bishop Kilgo to Preside.
It is rather a remarkable coinci-
dence that the first conference Bish-
op Kilgo is to preside over in South
Carolina should be at Bennettsville,
where he began his career in the
ministry. In 1888 he was the junior
preacher on the Bennettsville circuit.
For years DR.. Kilgo served as presi-
dent of Trinity college, severing his
connection with that institution, as
it's head, when he was elected Bish-
op at the general conference in
Asheville May, 1910.
Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the
New York World and the st. Louis

commanding figures in modern

day aboard his yacht, The Liberty,
in Charleston harbor. The immedi-
ate cause of Mr.. Pulitzer's death was
heart failure. He had been in ill
health for several days, but until a
few hours before the end none of
those around him had any suspicion
of the gravity of his condition. The
change for the worse came at about
2 o'clock Sunday morning, when he
suffered an attack of severe pain.
By daylight he appeared to be better
and fell asleep shortly after 10:30
O'Clock. He awoke at O'Clock, COM
planned of a pain in his heart, fell
into a faint and expired at 1:40
o'clock.
