Coloma, City of Gold, Pathetic in Its Ruin Coloma is an unknown name today, but three-quarters of a century ago every American able to speak had it at his tongue’s end. There that New Jersey adventurer, James Wilson Marshall, discovered gold in January, 1848, and started the rush of fortune seekers from ail the world to California, a writer in the New York Sun recalls. Coloma grew quickly to a town of ten thousand and boasted of all the luxuries that a pioneer could demand. A stranger wandering among the hills of El Dorado county recently rediscovered It He found a. country store and a post office In the midst of a cluster of deserted shops and houses. The, mail carrier said that In the whole, community there were scarcely a hundred and fifty persons. In the graveyard on the hillside was the only reminder of Coloma’s fame, a memorial to Marshall, the bronze statue surmounting R pointing to the place of California’s first gold discovery. Coloma had dreams of magnificence In the early fifties. Coloma then had a dozen hotels, a street lined with stores, a hundred saloons, as many, wide-open gambling places and danca halls, an express office, three schools, four churches and a jail. The shells of the dance hails, the saloons and the gambling places remain. The 1 churches and schools passed genera- 1 dons ago. The Jail that had housed the bad men, the killers and crooked gamblers long ago fell into ruins. Genius and Freedom Genius can only breathe freely in an atmosphere of freedom. Persons o t genius are more Individual than other people, less capable, consequently, of, fitting themselves, without hiirtfulj compression, into any of the small; number, of molds society provides in order to save its members the trouble: of forming their own character. If, from timidity, they consent to be forced into one of these molds, society will be little the better for their genius. If they are of strong character and break theft fetters, they become a mark for the society wliJch has not succeeded in reducing them to commonplace, to be pointed ont as erratic, much as if one should compl&in of the Niagara for not flowing smoothly like a Dutch canal. —John Stuart Mill. Trees Live Long Thomas Parr, who lived to be one hundred and fifty-two years old. Is credited with a record, but this longevity, as well as that of all other members of the animal kingdom, is easily surpassed by those of the vegetable kingdom. The’life of the great forest trees varies from 100 to as much as 5,000 years, says London Tit-Bits. Cypress trees are said to live for 350 years. Ivy 400, chestnut 600, cedar 800, oak 1,000 to 1,500 years, yew 2,500 and the baobab tree 5,000 years.

LEGION MV AT THE STATE FAffi TUESDAY. SEW. 1 Indianapolis, July 29. —A number of events, each reminiscent of the world war, will feature the program of the Indiana state fair on Tuesday, September 7, which has been officially designated by the fair board as American Legion day. A special Legion day program will be sponsored by the Indiana Department of the American Legion and there is being planned ft?r that day a band contest. Legion bands from ail parts of Indiana will compete. There also will be an exhibition of formation flying by an airplane squadron, an exhibition of military tactics and a drill by infantry and machine gun companies from Fort Benjamin Harrison. J. H. Klingor, state adjutant' of the American Legion, also has announced there would be on display an exhibit of captured war trophies. The winner of the band contest jvill represent the Indiana Department at the convention of the American Legion at Philadelphia in the fall. The preliminaries of the contest will be held at the state Legion convention at Marion on Aug. 30 and 31, at which time Legion bands will qualify to enter the state fair contest. Herbert Condon of liOgansport, state Legioft - band committee chairman, will be in charge. The state organization also plans to have at the state fair a service office, which will supply information to former soldiers and where disabled former service men may take up the matter of compensation claims, Mr. Klinger stated. The office, together with the exhibit of captured war relics, will be open throughout the fair week. The display of war materials is to be made up from a consignment made to the National Legion headquarters museum by an act of congress during its recent session. Asbestos Long Known but Little Employed People of modern time are engaged In a ceaseless search for ways to improve living conditions. Safety, comfort and reduction of expense rauk among the principal things to be considered. Asbestos, a material known for centuries but put to use only a comparatively short time ago, has j done as much or more toward the realization of these three fundamentals than any other one thing In its class. Traces of its use have been found in ancient China, in Persia, by the early Greeks und Romans, and later, in about the sixteenth century, in the Island of Guam, now a possession of the United States. The sudden emergence of asbestos, from the long period in which it was almost entirely the subject of myths and legends, or treated merely as a costly curio, into one of the world’s most important minerals and industry’s most important aids, is remarkable. Even electricity did not have quite so sudden a transformaflon. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE The undersigned, administrator of the estate of Cornelius L.

MANSIONS ON CHICAGO "COID COAST" PASSING GOING INTO LIMBO OF CITY’S forgotten things. More Modern Buildings Are Being Erected to Take Place of-Dwell-ings Once Popular With ' Rich People. Chicago, July 23.—Like the brownaud chateaux of Fifth avenue society lands, the mansions of Chicago's famous “Gold Coast’’ are passing into limbo of forgotten things, The “Gold coast’’ is still there, richer and more magnificent than ever, but just as on Fifth avenue, business and the symbol of mass habitation, the towering apartment hbtel, are rapidly encroaching ofi that, lakeside jmlle of territority between Chicago avenue and the North avenue entrance to Lincoln park on the near north side. Give Way to Apartments. The sound of the wreckers and of the builder now are constantly heard along Lake Shore drive ant) Michigan avenue as the pretentious stone dwellings of the socially 1 elect go the way of all buildings in the route of progress. Nearly a dozen tall apartment buildings have been built or are being built along the route, while "commercial buildings, whose intrusion was vigorously fought by residents, also are springing up. The commercial structures, however, grace, rather than mar the aristocratic neighborhood in which they have taken root. An insurance company, for instance, is housed in a graceful reproduction of a French chateau, and except for a modest, almost invisible sign carrying the name of the concern, no one woqld suspect that behind the costly facadp business is being transacted. Once Was Show Place. The “Gold coast” once was one of the show places of Chicago. Here is thq, famous Potter Palmer castle, scene of social festivities of other days, but closed for many years until some of the younger members of the family decided to use it again. Another dwelling that has escaped the wrecker is the town home of Mrs. Rockefeller MoCormick, which with its lawn, a real luxury in that pies a block on the drive. • Further north is the home of the late Victor Lawson, former .publisher of the Chicago Daily News. It has an air of desertion now that the famous publisher’s study light no longer gleam on the second floor. Among the more modern single dwellings on the “coast” is a reproduction ot the Petite Trianon near the entrance to Lincoln park. Overrun by Traffic. But the exclusiveness ot this short strip of single dwellings was shattered long before the advent of hotels, multiplied apartment and business. Facing on the main northside artery of travel the drive through 24 hours roars to the uuceas ing traffic of busses and motor cars. And facing thT’Oak street "beach It Is overrun in summer months by thousands of bathers, most of them from the desolated regions of the west side. Now the drive is to He widened to twice its present size and in the ever broadening activity incident to a city’s commercial and residentaY expansion the real “Gold coast” soon may be only a memory.

British Army Club The Union Jack club Is a national institution of Great Britain where soldiers, sailors aud airmen can go when on leave or passing through Loudon, a place where they may deposit their kits and valuables, where they may obtain at moderate charges good meals and comfortable bedrooms to themselves and where they find the usual amenities of a club, including library and writing room, billiard room, baths, 1 barber shop and also a club shop in which articles of everyday use and almost everything that service men require may be purchased. The Union Jack club was erected by public subscription as a national memorial to those who had fallen in the South African war and other campaigns, and was opened on July 1, 1907, by his late majesty, King Edward VII. Trust to Pictures Is these days of hustle and bustle, hyper-activity and constant “go,” there is one thing that every one can do to neutralize to' some extent the! restlessness that has invaded our life. That one thing is to surround oneself with beautiful and restful pictures. Pictures take the mind off the worrisome, petty details that are so Irritating to the nervous system. A good-natured Jolly Cavalier to look, down on us from the wall, or a lovely Madonna to fill us with peace and contentment are like; real companions and friends, and have an advantage that even the best! friends do not have; they make no demands and expect no favors; they are always equally dependable _ and ever ready to serve.
