William Fortune contribute? 10 The Century a paper on street paving in America that shows more than anything else what we have yet to do in that direction before we can stand abreast of other civilized countries. We have made more advancement even in high art than we have in street and roadmaking. Mr. Fortune estimates that if all the paving in our towns and cities tliat is now projected be finished according to expectation the cost in the next 10 years will not be less than *1,000,000,000. Even when that vast sum is spent “it is doubtful if more than 00 per cent of the streets of these cities would then be well paved.” lie believes that the owners of property abutting the street to be improved should bear the cost of the pavement, because the rise in value of th ir property will be hardly ever less .. often many times more than the cost oi the paving. Americans make the common and ' fatal mistake of supposing a good pavement is a luxurious expense rather than a profitable investment, which it is beyond all doubt. The first requisite for the good pavement is a solid foundation. A London engineer said, “The founda- 1 tion is the pavement.” To make the foundation, first the street is dug down 10 inches or a foot and then rolled as hard and solid as can be done with a ramming machine. Up 1 tills hard, emooth surface is spread f. .six to eight j inches of hydraulic coi rete cement. This is the beet founda*ion a street can have, and it is made by mixing together one part of hydraulic cement and tw< parts clean sand, free from clay. Small pieces of broken stone, no pebbjes, onlp bits of sharp cornered crushed stone, none of them more than an inch and a half across in any direction, are mixed thoroughly in the sand and cement, water being poured on while the stone | is stirred in. When thoroughly well made and spread upon the soil, this concrete has “the qualities of a continuous layer of heavy stone, capable of bearing tremendous weights.” Upon the concrete is spread a layer of sand, then on top of all the final surface paving, whether of granite, wood, asphalt, some kind of composition mastics or hard baked and pressed brick. Tliis last has been found to answer the purpose very well. The cost of the hydraulic concrete foundation varies from 50 cents to $1 jht square yard.

Cardinal Newman somewhere in ms writings depicts his ideal of a gentleman. He says in the beginning that “it is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.” This is the neg- live side of the definition. The positive side of it is that the gentleman actively * usages himself in removing obstacles to the well being and convenience of those about him. He is as comfortable to have around as a go d fire when the thermometer is gt zero. He is careful to leave people to do as they please in a free and unrestrained way, never interfering \rith or embarrassing them. It would indeed be a gentleman who was Urge minded enough for this. So willing is Cardinal Newman’s gentleman to have others enjoy themselves in their own way that he is constantly engaged in removing the obstacles that would hinder this. “He has his eyes on all his company. Ho is tender toward the bashful, gentle toward the distant and merciful toward the absurd.” In his conversation the gentleman will remember to whom he is speaking, have thought for all the company and avoid allusions that would give pain to any of them, steering away also from topics that irritate. When he does a favor to another—and he does many—the gentleman will somehow mako it appear that he is receiving the benefit instead of conferring it. “Ho is never mean or little in his disputes.” Moreover, he shows that he has an intellect far above the average in the fact that he never mistakes personalities and sharp sayings for arguments. Most of mankind do. When grief, illness and losses come to him, “he submits to pain because it is inevitable.” Bereavement he takes with heroic philosophy because it is irreparable. He goes to death without a murmur because it is destiny. As if all this were not hard enough in order to be a gentleman, the cardinal attaches other requisites yet harder. This ideal individual never talks about himself at all, except when he is compelled to, and never imputes unworthy motives to another. One qualification of the Newman gentleman might well be tacked upon the walls of men’s clubhouses, “He has no ears for gossip or slander.”

It seems difficult, not to say impossible, for the present generation to estimate at its true rate the value of woman's work. If a lady writes a novel or u poem, if she plans a building, studies j law or invents an apple paring machine. I either it is ignored altogether or else a ' hullabaloo is raised, making twice as J much of it as it really amounts to. The method heretofore has been to ignore women’s intellectual powers. It wtwnot till many years after both their deaths that it was generally known Caroline Herschel did much of the astronomical work for which her famous brother got all the credit. In the historic encyclopedias, if you wish to find sometning Of the history of a woman who is distil) gnished in any way, the chances are that you will not find her name. The encyclopedic records are written and occupied by men. So it has been in the past. There is a little danger that now the rebound will go too far the other way and overestimate feminine work just because a woman does it. An exaggerated sentiment of chivalry imi>els men to this course sometimes. Again, the newness of the fact that the achievements of women are to be taken seriously at all overimpresses a considerable proportion of mankind. The sooner the period arrives when women’s work is judged of exactly on its merits, just as men's work is, with no thought of the sex of the one who wrought it, the better it will be for the progress of womankind.

“If the World’s fair is not a success, Chicago will be bankrupt,” was the gloomy reflection at the beginning of June of many of the business men of that city who had put money into the enterprise, and a good deal of it. The chances seemed slim enough even up to the end of August. At that date the exposition board owed $1,455,815, not counting the bonded indebtedness. When those who were behind the scenes counted up assets and liabilities, they discovered that the liabilities exceeded the other column by $371,845. Had Chicago citizens, after all, overrated their ability to run a world’s fair and swamped themselves? Nobody could answer the question in the negative then. But by the beginning of September the people who always put off everything to the last moment and that includes most of the human race, began to wake up. Those who have been most bent on seeing the fair, with all its rich educating opportunities, have been the farm population of the country. There is no class per haps, take them altogether, that will be more benefited by it. By the beginning of September harvest was over, and the money for the summer crops hail begun to come in. Then it was that the farm people rallied and inarched to the White City in force. So greatly did the attendance mount up that by the middle of September in round numbers a million dollars of the indebtedness had been wiped out, and the directors saw their way clear to getting back all tho $24,000,000 that the fair had cost. And it is the brave farm people who have done a very large share toward this happy result.

Some Indiana Republicans ar§ con slant in season and out of season in insinuating that Democrats lear an.* oppose honest elections, lienee their demand that the federal election law be repealed. Tliis is all moonshine Democrats demand the repeal ot the federal election law in the interest of honest aud fair elections; they hav. seen ill effects and dishonest purposes made victorious by reason of intimida tion and force used at the polls by Deputy U. H. Marshals and Suptrvis ors. Democrats now, as ever, uphold and maintain the purity of the ballot ; the new election law which has purified the ballot in Indiana is a Demo cratic measure, and has had the un animous support of the Democracy of the State; the opposition to its passage in the Legislature came wholly from Republicans, and it has been unfavorably criticised only by the Republican prets. Democrats are proud, and they can well afford to be, over the record they have made as upholders of fair and honest elections.

TRAGEDY IN OHIO.

A Sixty-Year-Old Man at Hazelton Kills His Wife and a Guest. Youngstown, O., Oct. 11.—At Hazelton, a suburb of this city, shortly after midnight Sunday James Campbell, aged BO, killed his wife with a revolver and attempted to murder Patrick Finney, aged 64. The wife died almost instantly and Finney was taken to the hospital in a dying condition. He lives at New Bedford, Pa., and was visiting the Campbell family. Jealousy without any cause and the use of liquor are the reasons assigned for the double murder. The murderer was formerly a saloonkeeper in Pittsburgh.
