Last Days of PompeIi.

There are so many ideally beautiful scenes in George Kleine's photo drama production. The Last Days of Pom peii". that it is difficult to find any to praise more than the others. Among the unusual episodes, however, that are particularly pleasing to the discrimin- atingIv artistic spectators are those showing Glaucus and Iona floating down the Bay of Naples in their beau tiful barge. attended only by their slaves and slowly developing that glor ious. steadfast love that sustained them later in the terrible ordeals that befel them and the scene showing Iona at her bath. receiving the message from Arbaces to come to the Temple. This is one of the most beautiful pictures of the group and gives an excellent idea of the luxurious manner in which the wealthy ancients performed these func tions Both the homes of Glaucus and Iona are gorgeous specimens of ancient beauty and luxury, denoting the artis tic quality of the people of those times. The scene showing Iona and Glaucuc feeding the fish and doves is exquisite in it's daintiness.
 "The Last Days of Pompei' is a photo to-dramatization of Lord BulWer Lyttons widely read romantic novel and is announced at the Elks, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday

PARTICIPATING PLANT
 AT INSANE ASYLUM
Board Of Control Looking Into Plans
 for Installing Adequate Plant

An important meeting of the board of control was held yesterday for the purpose of looking into plans Of Lescher & Kibbey for the new re frigerating plant that it is pro posed to erect at the insane asylum in the course of a short time. The appropriation for this work was made by the last legislature. How ever the amount fixed for the cost of the plant was not as large as the demands of the institution are thought to require, so that some trouble in stretching to cover may result.
 It is planned by Governor Hunt and the other members of the board to visit the asylum today with the architects and to go thoroughly into the plans for the addition. Ever since taking charge of the asylum Dr. Kingsley, the superintendent has been advocating the erection of re- frigerating plant as a health measure for the inmates. It looks now as if his desires in this respect are to be granted.

 Every hound has his strong points, but some has more of 'em."

bad business and bad business in the
end is always poor social economy.
IL is a fact that the owners OF such
dwellings do not care to own them when
once they give up occupancy of a part of
them.
The intensive use OF land for multi
family dwellings is not to be too severe
~ deplored or too harshly legislated
against, providing the laws governing the
same are of a stringent and sanitary
character; for the congestion, firmly con-
trolled. produces some decided economic
benefits.
Factories both produce congestion and
are produced by t., thus, the laborer is
near his work and his transportation ex-
pense is little or nothing; the city con-
gests its benefits as do individual phlan-
thropists, and city food and clothing sup
piles are cheap and strongly competitive.
Attention is called 70 the fact that two
family dwelling, or ten people living on q
twenty-foot lot, is an economic absurdity
in a city demanding In the homes Of the
lower middle class and poor all the facili-
ties Of water, gas, sewerage, electric
light and paving and policing and school
ing, whereas these folk cannot and do not
pay for ii.
Note that on a 4OO-foot block, twenty
homes. or forty on both sides OF the
street, the assessment might be 40x5,0OO,
equal TO 800. 900 or, at a 81 80 tax rate,
$500 year, equal to 800 per house. or
s. 80 a house a month. That amount is
not enough to pay the fair share of these
property owners I'm the corporate expense.
They get too much for the money they
pay. They are being pauperized by gifts
and other realty must groan under an
added burden. Unfairness i'm taxation is
thereby produced by an unjust loading of
the burden.
So an eighty-foot street, asphalt paved
and gas and electric lighted for rows Of
two-family houses. we should say, is an
economic absurdity.
The three-family house may average
forty feet I'm height and sixty feet in
depth and is, I'm effect a brick box with
a side dent representing a shaft, whereas
the two-famiy house, with possibly the
same depth, covers the ground with a
wing or an extension; at any rate. the
cubical contents of the three family dwell

ESTATE LAW
Who Inherit Such Property Not
Affected by Will.

There seems TO be considerable confu-
sion In the minds OF laymen as 10 the
distribution of the personal estate mot
real estate when a person dies leaving
no last will and testament, or leaving his
personal estate unprovided for by a last
will, says THE Bulletin" OF the House
and Real Estate Owners Association of
the 18th and 18th wards. The manner OF
distribution IS entirely statutory and is
contained. IT says, in the decedent estate
law.
The important provisions are as fol-
lows:
The Husband-If the deceased leaves
any descendant, the husband takes one
third Of the personal estate. II the de-
ceased leaves no descendant, the husband
takes all.
The Widow-Tf the deceased leaves any
descendant. the widow takes one-third.
If the deceased leaves no descendant, but
leaves a parent, the widow takes one
half. II the deceased leaves no descend
ant or parent. but leaves a brother, sis
ter, nephew or niece the widow takes.
besides the one-half above referred 10, all
of the other half to an amount not TO eX-
coed 5000. II the deceased leaves no de-
scendant, parent. brother. sister, nephew
or niece the widow takes all.
The Children-If the deceased leaves a
widow or husband, the children take two
thirds in equal portions; and the entire
estate, II no husband or widow survives.
Grandchildren, who are children of a de-
ceased child take in equal portions the
share their parents would have taken X
living
The Father-A father takes no part OF
the personal estate of a deceased child
if such deceased leaves any descendant or
husband. He takes one-half If there be a
widow. and all IL there be no widow. hus-
band or descendant.
The Mother-A mother takes no part OF
the personal estate Of a deceased child
where such deceased leaves any descend
ant husband or father. II the deceased
