"Shouldest not thou also have had compassion thy

 In most of the places those who were there attempted to buy wine for John L., but the champion push ed everyone aside and said:
 Only my money is good in this place."
 And then he proceeded to "set up the house."
 We went from one barroom to am other and as our trip continued became more and more amazed at the drinking ability of the champion. He was consuming uncountable glassf es of champagne. But his imbibtng that night, great as it seemed to mo. was only trifling in comparison wttH the capacity of his earlier years. The liquor than John l.. drank that night in Chicago would have put an ordinary man under the table" in an hour or less. But John l.. showed no signs of unsteadiness. The only effect the liquor seemed to have on him was to flush his face, to make his eyes brighter and to make him more talkative than ever.
 At last we entered the place of Matt Hogan, famous in Chicagpp tH that era for high class sports "A group met John L. there and the champion took me along with him to one of the rooms where he held little reception. John L., in the big. hearted way that was his hAd in. troduced me to everyone as:5

from Yesterday

Continued from Yesterday
 few days after the Jack Demp- sey-Bob Fitzsimmons fight which was in New Orleans on January IA, 1891, went to Chicago. The morning af ter my arrival I sent messenger boy to the West Side Theatre with $l5, and written request for a box seat. John L. Sullivan was appear ing at that playhouse in Honest Hearts and Willing Hands" and I was anxious to look at the great gladiator once again.
 The boy came back a short time later with my S15, six tickets calling for an entire box and note from Jim Wakely, who was associated with John l.. at that time in his theatrical tours. The note read:
 Your money is no good at this showhouse, Jim Corbett. Please ac cept these tickets with the compli ments of John L., and the rest of us."
 That night I went to see the show out hardly had been seated when Wakely came to my box, greeted me and then said:
 "The big fellow would like to sec you, Jim. Come around to the stage entrance"
 And so, with Wakely leading the way I walked to John L. Sullivan $ dressing room. As entered it the idol of my eaf1y boyhood and the champion of champions stepped for ward. pushed out his huge hand smiled and said:
 And so you're Jim Corbett. eh I Glad to meet you. Sit down?"

Complete agreement on the shipment

the terms Of the agreement have not

Although Norway. in its note of Feb

The advantages and pleasure to be
derived from an artistic roadside seem
so apparent that it would appear un-
necessary to comment on the matter.
but when we travel about and see our
highways with their bordering improve
ments we are forced to the conclusion
that the appearances are not sufficient
ly appreciated.
The illustrations herewith show
street of the usual box type of clap
boarded houses which may be found in
and about most of our cities. That they
are devoid of any artistic conception
is particularly proved when we con-
trast it with the illustration of the
English roadside, which is typical of
almost any locality. and may be seen in
charming variety throughout the most
progressive European countries.
The awkward boxlike type shows
lack of thought beyond merely filling
out the physical requirements, whereas
the English type shows graceful
treatment of the roof lines and group
ing of the chimneys.
In countries where the general sur
roundings are so artistic it becomes the
natural habit to follow the prevalent
examples. SO that the idea when once
started has a natural growth.
Architectural design may be artis-
tically and economically applied to all
classes of buildings, notwithstanding
the general opinion that such thought
is only applicable to expensive con-
struction. When we arrive at proper
appreciation of the artistic roadside
we will not hesitate to insist on archi-
tectural treatment of all construction
work, Of whatever class.

URGES ABROGATION OF
HOG ISLAND CONTRACTS
Philip Manson Tells Senators Gov
ernment Should Build It's Own
Ships and Yards.

Philip Manson of New York, managing
Steamship Company, yesterday after
noon strongly advocated the abroga-
tion of the contracts Of the government
for the construction Of shipyards and
ships at Hog Island. Bristol and New
ark, and that the government build its
own yards and ships. at a hearing be-
fore the Senate commerce committee
yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Manson insisted that the govern
ment could build steel ships for SIS or
less a ton. whereas it has contracted
for ships through private agencies
ranging in price from $145 to $3.50 a
ton. He said the whole program of
government ship construction under
the agency contract systems was ILL
advised and costly.
Manson said correspondence between
himself and the shipping board. show
ing that he told the board that the cost
Of ship construction under the cost
plus plan. was excessive. but replies by
the board, practically all of which were
written by Rear. Admiral Capps, said
could be built for SIS ton, as he
claimed. In one letter Admiral Capps
said the board would accept the prof.
ect for government-owned yards II it
could be proved a more economic way
Of building ships.
Manson said the shipping board fig
ured the cost Of ship construction in
Great Britain at S110 a ton, the price of
ships built by private corporations
Government built ships, he said. cost
much less.
Mr.. Manson gave it as his opinion
that salaries and other expenses Of the
American International Shipbuildins
Corporation plant at Hog Island, are
excessive.
