OBITUARY

Bridgeport lost one of her oldest and most highly respected citizens this morning when James Mccullough passed away at his home, Mo- TO Milne street following an illness of a few days duration. James Mccullough was among the earliest Irish settlers of this city. Born in Ireland 89 years ago he came to this city when still a. young man and resided here ever since. During the three score and more years which he lived here he was held in high esteem by all who knew him and news of his death will be received with genuine regret by hosts of friends and acquaintances. He was a. member of St. Augustine's parish and throughout the whole of his long and active life always took a lively interest in church affairs. He was a member of the church societies and Q regular communicant at the altar. Simon Mccullough, the well known police officer, is a son of the deceased and one daughter, Mary, all so survives.

U. T. co. SUE CITY

The United illuminating Co. has ap- pealed to the superior court for relief from the assessment of N,097.s5 for benefits alleged to have been received as a result of the new pavement at the western approach to the Congress street bridge. Deputy Sheriff Donne1- ly served papers today on City Clerk Boucher.
 It is claimed the common council passed a resolution ordering that one half of the expense for the pavement should be paid by owners of property which received benefit. The aggrieyed company, which has a power house at the western approach to the bridge, says the grade of the street was rais- ed without order of the council and that damage to the amount Of $2,0o0 resulted.

INSANE STRONG MAN
 GIVES POLICE FIGHT


 A strange case of love and bigany has been related to the police by sAn- tonia SaIerno, or Ross" held at Lake view home until his sanity can be as- certained. and his brother-in-1aw, Galerno Sebastiano, 36 Lexington ave- nue
 When arrested in front of 250 North Washington avenue yesterday after noon, while attacking Mrs. Carlo Franzese and John Chioto of 19S North Washington avenue, Sa1erno snapped steel handcuffs like tooth picks and required the full strength of four stout policemen to subdue him. He was strapped and removed to the Home. SaIerno alleged that he came to Bridgeport eight years ago. His statements are partly borne out by Q brother-in-1aw and tickets found in his possession but the police are unable to connect the assault pair with the case in any way.

ORIGINAL ROOF GARDEN.
Built Atop New York Casino, It 1
Now Quarter Century Old.

The first roof garden in New York
was laid out on the roof OF the old
Casino, at Broadway and 10Th
street. To Rudolph Aronson can be
attributed the credit for introducing
this popular summer amusement. Mr..
Aronson was the first manager of the
Casino. which was thrown open to the
public in 1882
Not many years after the roof gar
den feature was introduced and 1t
proved an instant success Mr.. Aron-
son hac the roof garden idea in his
head for several years before he
brought it out. He got to like this
sort Of amusement while studying in
Berlin, years before.
In Germany the gardens are on the
street level. This was impossible along
broadway. because of the high value Of
land. Mr.. Aronson's attention was
drawn to the roof of his theater. He
spent a lot of money in preparing the
roof for show purposes Other theatri-
cal managers laughed at the folly. But
success that attended the show house
caused other theatrical men to look
to the roofs OF their theaters, and it
was not long before the Casino roof
garden had rivals.

MANY OLD BUILDINGS
WILL Be DEMOLISHED
Structures at 18th and F
Streets to Be Replaced
by Modern Store.

One Of the most interesting develop
| ments in local realty during the week
undoubtedly was the formal announce
ment that building operations soon will
| be started in the erection of large
| modern business structure at the north
east corner of 18th and + streets north
west. To accomplish this Improvement
1t will be necessary to raZe about six
or eight old stores and office buildings,
including not only the buildings directly
on the corner, but a number Of struc-
lures on both the F street and 18th
street frontages. The property thus
thrown into one tract has a total
frontage of 100 feet on F street. and
with an almost uniform depth it ex-
tends all the way to G. street, including
a frontage on that thoroughfare
Definite building plans for the proposed
structure have not yet been adopted, al
though it is understood the building will
occupy all of the F street side of the
property and will extend about two
thiras of the way along 18th street to G
street. The various properties involved
were secured more than a year ago by
representatives of the F. III. Smith Com
pany, but members of that firm ever
since have refused to divulge the name
OF the actual purchaser.
Considerable reticence also is being OBJ
served concerning the exact use to be
made OF the new building, though rep orts
have been circulated freely that one OF
the large department stores now operat-
ing In Philadelphia and New York pro-
posed to open a Washington branch.
Another intimation given in the Smith
Companys Office is that a number of
smaller stores may be constructed for
the accommodation of local merchants
Ultimately 1t is proposed to continue the
Improvement all the way to G street, in
Gliding ALL of the frnnfa IF ha
erty on that thoroughfare. On f street
the now united property includes three
stores. which have total frontage of
100 feet. and it has an almost uniform
depth to G street, although on that street
1t includes only one building, which con-
tans two storerooms.
The property at 1920 G street now &C.
cupied as a fruit store, is not included
and 1t forms the eastern boundary of the
property on G street

DESIGNS FOR THE BATHROOM.
Stencil Tile Work Is Advocated fol
Treatment Of Walls.

Probably the most satisfactory paint
ed treatment of bathroom walls is in
stenciled tile effects. says the Deco
rator. The entire wall may be given
this tile effect, or the tile design may
be carried up as a dado to a height of
some Ave feet. where ii should be cap
ped with the border, and the wall
painted in plain tint above.
For these tile designs light colors
should be used in imitation of the tiles
most generally used in bathrooms:
Delft colorings are popular. either dull
blue or dull green on white or ivory
white. Blue green on q background of
pale cream is very pleasing, or a more
pronounced green on pale pink
ground. Very light lemon yellow
might be used as a ground color with
the design stenciled in a light OGRE
tint. The color should be mixed SO as
| to dry with a gloss.
A good result could be obtained by
mixing the color very thick for the
last coat and adding a certain proper
ton Of varnish. then stippling it on the
wall in such a manner as to give a
roughened effect. coat of outside or
| flowing coach varnish over this would
give the work the mellow tone that
many of the art tiles have. 1t is re-
markable how conspicuously the tint
est bit of dust that may get worked
/ into the varnish will show up when
/ the work is finished. and great care
must therefore be taken that dust Is
not present

Seek Lower Tax Rate.

NEW YORK, August 16.-Representa-
tives Of the Business Mems Association to
untax industry have sent letter to
all the candidates for the mayoralty ask
ing their views on the question of in
creasng the tax on land and decreasing
the tax on private improvements.
The association holds that it is unfair
to tax private Improvements on the same
basis as land values. 1t is striving to
have submitted to a referendum vote the
question of reducing the tax rates on
buildings in New York city and other i'm
provements until such land improvements
are taxed at one-half the rate at which
land values are taxed.

A LOST GENRE.
Writers Of Finished Style and Or
:hodox Sentiment Not in Demand.

rom the fnifduPlPnla ITtse
It is somewhat surprising. and not with
out interest for those who believe that
the phenomena Of literature indicate to a
degree the trend OF national lie, TO on-
serve how In these latter days practically
all the traditions of early American 1T
erary activity have been broken. Perhaps
the reason why We no longer have poets
of the type of Longfellow and Whittier Is
almost too obvious for discussion; finished
style and orthodox sentiment no longer
make an exciting combination for the
popular taste. Perhaps. too. the d!splace-
ment OF books with an avowed literary
ideal by what may be grouped as enter
tainment I'm book form, will account for
much of the contemporary output.
Yet beyond this there are a few streams
worth following up. Take. for example,
the story of Imagination and terror. Poe
and Hawthorne may be said to have given
this type of story to the world: Haw-
thorne in his Somber tales of New Eng
land conscience and conviction of sin: Poe
in his more purely physical horrors. the
finest of which are undoubtedly concen-
trated in 1.-The Fall of the House OF Ush-
err" This type OF story Is no longer writ
ten in America. One asks. Why? and
certainly the excuse that popular interest
has tagged cannot be urged. Poe is still
read widely, as the sale of his works In
library editions amply proves. Then.
too, the taste for mystery of this sort Is
universal and easily stimulated.
The fact remains that the Poe-esque
story is not being written. Is IL possible
that the Teutonic strain in our race, 10
which can be traced a great deal OF the
taste for and the ability TO evoke mystical
exhausted? In Germany this type OF i'm
aginative work still survives. Occasional
ly, too. in England we have book in
this vein.
