ROTHSCHILDS BACK OF
WATERS-PlERCE OIL CO.
Big Company Is Now Being Reorean-
lied With Capital of
$1o,ooo,o0o.

st. Louis, June 24.-The Standard
Oil company will have a rival in a
short time, it is believed. The Waters
Pierce Oil company is being reorgan-
lied, its capital being increased from
100000 to $10000,000. The European
banking family of Rothschlds is under
stood to have invested heavily in the
reorganization.
Henry Clay Pierce of st. Louis,
chairman of the board OF directors Of
the old WatersPierce company, will
retain a controlling interest in the re-
organized company. The Rothschilds
are heavily interested in an English
corporation which is strong rival Of
the Standard In England.
1t is said that when II, Clay Pierce
last winter bought from the Standard
Oil interest their stock in the Waters
Pierce company. the funds were fur
nished by the London house of the
Rothschilds. About that time Pierce
had ordered a complete set of the in.
voices Of his company made in St.
Louis and sent to him in New York
before he started for London.
He is said to have laid this informa-
ton before London and German bank
ers to induce them to put up money
for the retnancing of the company.
1t is minated that the property of the
Pierce-Fordyce Oil association will be
taken over by the reorganized Waters
Pierce company. which is to have a
new name.

A small, square house with a cot.

severe plainness of the design Is re-
lieved by the projection of the cor

distinguished appearance. This is a
small house, with only six rooms be-
sides a nice front hall and a bath
room; but 1t Is convenient and we'll

large. The parlor and dining rooms
are exceptionally good rooms for a
dwelling Of these dimensions.
1t is quite the fashion now tc make
long living rooms, and there is much
to recommend 1t. The furniture may
be placed to so much advantage, and
there is room to use good, big easy
chairs and couches. According to
old-fashioned plans, a room II feet 6

ingenuity and careful planning to get
six good rooms, in addition to neces-
sary accessories, in house % by 80

A feature OF this house that will
appeal to the women is the built-in
sideboard, which faces the dining
room, and also faces the kitchen. A
piece of furniture like this is a great
convenience and comfort to a house
keeper. Such things were unknown
up to within few years. There are
a great many little things to be kept
in order In the kitchen, and there are
some larger things that persistently

There is a cement wainscoting in
the kitchen and bathroom, feet 6
inches high. If this is carefully put
in. as it should be, 1t is fully equal
to tile: in fact, If it Is rightly done,
it is better than tile, because it is
more solid 1t is easy to get a poor
job of cement work in places like
this; but that is usually the fault OF
the owner, because he is careless
about the superintendent of the con-
struction. After securing the best
workmen and supplying the best ma
terials, it is necessary to follow up
the details as the building progresses.
1t is one thing to get good set Of
plans. but it is quite another to see
that the building Is put up according
to specifications.
One feature in connection with this
house that Is about as interesting as
anything else, is the price. Similar
houses have been built for $l,400,
