With the action of city council n

and curbing of Horne street. that sec
zion of the city will likely gro wstill
more rapidly in popularity among
homeseekers.
The development Of this, section Of
the city began little more than a year
ago, but it has grown to much greater
proportions than was anticipated al
that time. The development in the
way of paving and eurblng embraces
Horne street between Church and Tay-

Both sides Of the street will be paw

tons to the residents there. AS the

YOUNG men WILL MAKE
WIDELY EXTENDED TOUR
viii Go to New Mexico in
an Automobile

Three Americas yung men, Messrs.
E. S. Sheppard, Dean Broadfeld and
Oscar Summerford, are planning to
start shortly upon an automobile trip
that will carry them several thousand
miles, If the itinerary now marked out
is fully adhered to. They will go to
Albuquerque, N. NJ, where Mr.. 'Shep-
pard has relatives, and where some
time will be spent. This part of the
tour will cover about $500 miles, and
probably three weeks in completing
it.
After an extended stay in Albu-
querque and other points in Mem Mexi-
co, the party will go to Colorado, and
perhaps, to the Yellowstone National
Park. This portion of the trip has
not been fully arranged, but the re-
turn will be made by Northern
route. Probably two months will be
consumed in touring the West, the
party taking in any places of interest
that fancy may suggest

Some Royal Financing.
Motoring In Montenegro has, how
ever, it's limitations, as there is prob
ably not road in the country. except
the one previously mentioned, over
which an automobile could pass.
Even the Cattaro-Cettinje road is haz-
ardous enough at that, because on 1t
there are no less than one hundred
and thirty turns so acute that a car
with long wheel base finds difficulty
in negotiating them at all, and most Of
these turns are on considerable
grade
Once over the mountain and across
the Montenegro frontier, the first
impression Is that of the absolute
desolation of the. country. Nothing
but bleak. gray, stony mountain
ranges, one after the other, as far as
the eye can reach, into the misty dis
lance. Not habitation, not tree OF
any size, not sign of life. The out
look suggests an imaginative litho-
graph of the beginning of the world.
Only one evidence of humane exis-
tence Is seen. Along the roadside are
numerous fiat-bottomed pockets of
land, where a little cultivable soil has
washed down the rocky slopes. and in
each of these pockets a few potato
plants have been carefully set out.
Often the pocket is so small as to
contain only a dozen plants, but in a
land so sterile and stony every square
foot Of soil is thriftily utilized. No
houses are visible, and people must
come miles to cultivate these strugg.
ling patches.
A Homeiy Mountain Village.
Cettinje lies In the middle of small,
fertile plain which was once the bed
of an ancient lake, surrounded by
grim hills. 1t is town of about
thirty-five hundred inhabitants-hard-
ly more than a village-and yet 1t is

the capital OF natioh that has for
preserved its identity
against far greater neighbors, whose
rapacity for territorial expansion is
too we'll known to require comment
In her sturdy spirit of self-defense lit
tie Montenegro leaves naught for
criticism.
There is not much of the formality
of a European capital about Cettinje
The relying monarch can frequently
be seen leaning out of a window in
casual conversation with one of his
subjects, in very much the same pos.
ture as that of Third avenue tene-
ment dweller, who watches the ele-
waited railroad trains go by. The
principal hotel of the town Is kept
by a magnificent man, who at the time
of my visit was minister of war. The
conduct of his hotel was decidedly I'M
ceremonious. except that the Austrian
minister and the Italian minister APP
pear for dinner every night in
full dress Probably each one felt
that the dignity of his country must
be maintained at all hazards, and
neither one could take 1t on himself
to suggest a sartorial disarmament.
Strict formality is exercised in some
branches of the government; tele-
gram which | sent to the telegraph
Office at nine o'clock one morning was
returned to me unsent at five o'clock
that afternoon with the criticism that

OF lead-pencil
1t goes without saying that the
Montenegrins are warlike race.
Every man is expected to carry arms,
and, in fact, 1t is against the law to
go unarmed. Even the clergy are not
excepted from this rule, yet stranger
can hardly help feeling surprised when
he sees a dignified priest of the Greek
church in his professional robes, but
with couple of enormous revolvers
stuck in his belt. ] heard of but one
fatality during my stay in town, and
that was when a somewhat exhilar-
ated native fell down stairs in cafe
and one of his own revolvers was
accidently discharged, shooting him
through the stomach. AS mark of
repect to the deceased. the proprietor
of thu cafe turned off the talking ma.
chine on the day of the funeral.
1t is surprising that there are not
more such accidents. since the con-
sumption of ammunition is tremend-
Gus. In fact the exercise of firearms,
so far as ! could learn. constituted
about the only national amusement.

BRYAN and
The STATE
APARTMENT
GREAT SECRETARIES FEW
Bryan Bigger Man Than Most
Of Them Have Been
New York WORLDLY

Whether Mr. Bryan is qualified to be
Secretary of State can best be determ-
ined by comparing him with the men
who have held that Office during the
past fifty years.
The present Secretary of State is
Philander c. Knox, who was constitu-
tionally disqualified for the office at
the time of his selection and whose
most notable diplomatic achievement
was to turn the State Department into
a collection agency for Wall street.
Mr.. Knox's predecessor was Robert
Bacon, partner of j. Pierpont Morgan
Mr.. Bacon's predecessor was Elihu
Root, the ablest man to hold the place
In a generation
Mr.. Roots predecessor was Johu
Hay, who was very able Secretary of
State, but who lacked the physical
vitality to oppose successfully the
lingo policies of President McKinley's
successor.
MIR. Hays predecessor was William
R. Day, who was pitchforked into Of
flee for few months after John Sher-
man broke down.
Mr.. Days predecessor was John
Sherman, who was physically and
mentally incapable of diccharging the
duties of Secretary of State, but was
appointed In order to create vacancy
in the Senate for the benefit of Mark
Hanna.
Mr.. Shermans predecessor was
Richard Olney, who will be remember
ed chiefly for his connection with the
Venezuela episode, and Mr.. Olney's
predecessor was Judge Gresham, from
whom much was expected and little
was obtained.
Judge Greshams predecessor was
John w. Foster, who finished Blaine's
term after Blaine resigned from Har-
risons Cabinet to head the conspiracy
to deprive President Harrison of
a denomination. And so the story
runs. Blaine, Bayard, Frelinghuysen,
Blaine again, Evarts, Fish, Washburn
and Seward-Mr. Bryan need not feel
much embarrassed in such company,
nor would any of that company feel
embarrassed to know that Mr.. Bryan
was numbered among his successors.
Great Secretaries of State have been
few, and occasion that called for
great Secretary of State have happily
been even fewer. Mr.. Bryan would
never be satisfactory Secretary of
State for the champions of Dollar Dip
lomacy or for millionaires who regard
the Diplomatic Corps as an annex to
the Four Hundred But we believe
that his attitude toward foreign ques-
tons is the attitude of vast major
ity of the American people, and we
observe that the opposition to his ap-
pointment comes chiefly from people
who want the State Department to re-
main subsidiary Wall street corpora

A DECLARATION OF war Is al
"a ways a serious matter, but
A in one who has been on the
Il IN ground, the news that Mon
tenegro had declared war
against Turkey inevitably aroused
certain modified merriment. Sub
seQuent proceedings have reduced the
element of comedy materially, but
when the little mountain kingdom first
stood forward against the Porte, the
two antagonists offered a sufficient
contrast for smiles at least. Consider
ing the size and resources Of the two
antagonists, it is very much as II New
Rochelle declared war on New York in
the hope of capturing and annexing
Yonkers, the last-named city being re-
presented by Scutari d'Albanie, a
place about ten times as large as the
Montenegro capital, and one which
the Montenegro monarch has always
coveted
Contrary to current impression.
Montenegro Is not at all difficult OF
access. Excellent steamships take
one from Trieste down the picturesque
Dalmatian coast and disembark one
at the town of Cattaro, which lies at
the head of the lovely bay of that
name A mile or two back from the
bay rises a steep, stony mountain
wall, with a smooth, white military
road zigzagging laboriously up it, and
over that mountain range is Monte
negro.
The drive from Cattaro up to Get
TIME is one of the most beautiful in
the world. From the mountain-top,
west over Cattaro and the smiling
bay and the sparkling blue waters Of
the sunny Adriatic, and east across the
great, gloomy, desolate gray noun
tains, the views are remarkable. In
my opinion. this drive is far finer than
the much-lauded Upper Corniche, be-
tween Nice and Monte Carla. Until
quite recently the drive by carriage

Good and Bad Trusts.
As to the legal question, where this
company's organization has been a
violation of the Sherman law, I am not
particularly interested. nor have any
fixed opinion on the subject. l there
fore feel that the starting of a suit
under the Sherman law against this
company would be moral injustice
and a reversal of the correct and ad-
vanced modern policy Of the President
In dealing with corporate business. 1t
Is submitted that this case raises acute
" question of a general policy Of
great Importance which must be, think,
determined now and for which this case
will stand as precedent.
This case raises the question included
In what the President has called good
and bad" trusts; the question whether
combinations as such shall be prohibit
ed; whether the Government is going
to try to forbid all combination regard
less Of their methods or ends or
to pursue the policy frequently stated
by the President, OF regulation and con-
troll rather than of prohibition. -
Finally, this case against the company
is civil not criminal one. Delay will
not affect the case through any statute
Of limitation. II there Is q good eauit-
able case against the company II will
be In a thousand better shape for trial
after the investigation by the bureau
