Brick Cottages Are Practically as Cheap as Wooden Ones, A Trinvse reporter continued to feel the pulse of the architects on the proposed fire ordinance yesterday, and found there was hot the slightest support xiyen ‘the move- ment, and that the interviews published in Saturday’s Trupune reflected the sentiment , OL.all the architects of the city. J.J. Egan said the cost of a brick cottage would not be more than 15 per cent greater than for frame. The ‘real economy for the tan of moderate means, as in fact for any builder, was to use brick. Insurance would be -less and there would be no cost . for painting.- Besides that, a frame building began to eed repairg in three or four years, and cogstantly depréciated in value after that: time. in reply to te question as’ to whether he was opposed to the new ordinance. Mr. Egan ex- claimed: “ Who wouldy’t'be opposed to it?” W. SV. Boyi wated the first cost ofa brick cottage at one-third greater than for fraine, but thought it -poor policy to try und economize by avoiding -the use of brick. Ji the people would only: consider the great adv ses of briek dwellings they would hink of using anything else. “It was a l-advised step to introduce into the Council any change in the existing fire ordi- hance. Bauer & Hill had not had: any experience in building any of the cheap cottages und: discussion, but were satistied that the wor! ingiman wauld find if,to his interest to use brick.” This being the-ease, it seemed an en- tirely uncalled tor proceedmg to endeavor to change an ordinance that has done so much to imptove the city and to arrest conilagra- tions, ‘Treat & Foltz said it was absurd to talk about the proposed ordinance being ia the interest of the laboring classes, in the face ot the fact that brick cost only a trifle more and that a brick cottage would increase the value of property far more than a wooden one. WHEELOCK &.CAnY did not hesitate to say how they stood on the new ordinance. It was a’ delusion and a snare, and although it was teimptingly baited with *the good of the poor man,? they hoped the Council svould. not be ‘foolish enough to bite. THe ‘Trinune had shown that there was a houk disguised in this ry ol plausible morsel, and it would be a bad jc if the Council should et the hook iffits gills. This tirm was disposed to estimate the difference between the first cost of brick and wood at 20 per cent, but after thatevery thing was in favor of brick. G:H. Edbrooke had not giyen the com- parative cost any consideration,. but was Opposed to any dickering with the existing ordinance. : ‘'T. P. Thomas said the construction of frame cottages dropped out of sight right after the fire of 1871, aud he was not posted on their probable cost now. 1n response to the ques- tion as to what he thought of the proposed DrUnances he simply exclaimed, “ Ridicu- lous! J. V. Wadskier thought a Brick cottage would cost only 15 per cent more thar a frame one, and when done would be worth a great deal more to.the.owner. The reporter asked for his opinion on “se new ordinance, and Mr. Wadskier replied, “My opinion is what I should think every sensible man’s would be, [ au unqualifiedly opposed to any such nonsense.’? 34 _ Pushing his inquiries still further, and passing from these architects of high stand- ing, who have generally had to do with the construction of: Jarger buildings only, to the smaller builders, who are move familiar with the erection of cottages for workmgmen, the reporter was surprised to find that their esti- mates were even closer than those given above, and that, instead of saying that the cost of a brick cottage was 10 or 15 cent greater than that of a wooden oue, they put put them at about the same cost. Suid one builder, who has hada good deal of experi- ence in putting up houses in the southwest- ern part of the city: © | “ “ You want to strip this question of every- thing except one essential thing. Yyou want to tind out—and it thing that nobody has stated yet—just exactly what the points of difference are between a frame and a brick cottage of equal dimensions. Now take the diagram you had yesterday pepresen ting a cottaze of, about twenty by twenty-six. The only real difference in such a structure be- tween brick and wood lies in the shell,— IN THE FOUR OUTER WALLS. In one case they are of wood; in the other they are of brick. Brick is now about $12 a thousand in the wall. It “will take about 20,000 brick for your shell. That amounts to $240. rom — that point on whatever you do to your brick cottage has to be done to your wouden one. The figoring isthe same for both; the doors, the windows, the plastering, the hard- ware. and the roof. Now I want you to un- derstand that at this time your wooden shell costs just aboutas much ‘as the brick one does.” That seems a little quéer, don’t it? yetitisa fact. Have you any idea what lumber costs now? Do you know that com- mon boards have jumped from 811 or so last year to $17 ‘this year, and that dimension stuff has “gone up from $9 to $15? Do you know that. immense quantities of this stuff has to be used in the erection of your wooden houses; that a Rreat deal more of ithas to be used in a wooden shel] than in a brick shell? A great deal nore has to be used for the support of the roof, for instance. ‘Then, after your wooden shell is finished, you have to put two coats of paint on the outside in order to complete the work, To do all that at the present time makes your wooden shell just’ about as much as your one. At the rate at which Tum- ber is jumping, it. won’t be very long before the wood will cost more tlian the brick. Now Iam not saying anything at ail about future economy. Everybody ‘knows that a goud thick brick wali,as compared with a transparent wooden one, saves fuel in the winier. Everybody knows that the brick LASTS LONGER THAN HE woop, and costs nothing like as much for repairs and for insurance. But that is not the ques- ton. What I want to impress on you is that it is absolutely as economical to-day to build acheap brick cottage as itis a wooden one, and that it won’t be very long before it is cheaper, Brick advances, of course, but it don’t. advance with anythiag like the rapid- ity of lumber.”” ‘The next person the reporter ran across was a carpenter, and, a little surprised at what he had heard from this builder, he asked his friend of the saw and plane whether he was ready to verity these statements, “Yes,” satd the carpenter, “they are sub- stantially so. Ido not think the people who are clamoring for this pine-shanty ordinance on the ground of its economy for the poor man have any idea how lunber is guing up. Now, let me show you,” and, turning to a memorandum book, he copied off the follow- ing figures: 1850, 4881. First and second clear, dressed siding. $21.00 Common dresset 10.00 sae 2 es 2 Shingles, extra. Se “There,” said he, “you can form an idea from that as to what lumber is doing. I un- derstand that the magnopolists have got: hald of all the available timber, and that they are going to keep on pushing it up to the last notch. Last year there might have been some sense in talking of the immediate econ- omy of putting up a frame house, but now, sir, with this increase in the price of lumber, it actually costs fully as much to put upa small frame cottage as it does to put up a. brick one; and I am surprised that the persons who are fighting the narrowing of the fire limits have not called attention to this fact, because it is, after all, one of. the strongest arguments on their side. According to the papers, the clamor in favor of theordinance is because it GIVES THE POOB MAN A CHANCE to build more cheaply. ae T know 3 I about rmep hs glen! eet pone itwon’t enable them to uild more cheaply just because of this jump in lumber. Of course, you kuew a gz00d deal more lumber proportionately goes into a frame house than into a brick one. I mean that, after you baye put up your wooden walls,” a lot “of extra stuff that hhas to be used which you would not employ if you had a brick wall. at Stuff. costs | outrageously. Wages, £00, have gone up, proportionately x little more probabiy among. | the carpenters than auiong the bricklayers. So that, all things taken together, your fraine cottage costs just about us much as your brick one.” Anid as for economy in the louz run, why, of course, everybody knows that there is Uo question about that. Frou these two conversations it will be seen that the advocates of the pine-sharty ordinance are really ‘left without a leg to stand on, and that all that ree mains for — those Aldermen — who are opposed to this outrazeous measure to do is te push home these facts upon the peo- ple and upon their fellow-Aldermen. ‘There isan argument in these interviews that ean- not be gainsaid and that cannot be contra- dicted. Just let the Aldermen who: are op osed to a repetition o£ the contlagration of Isnt $ to. this point, drive it home, and they cannot fail to win the vietory. 5 ‘There was 4 private meeting of the Citi- lerwriters, iS yestert ‘zens’ Association, the unc sume of ‘the prominent politi morning, but one of that its object was _to cons t ity uf the repeal of the fire ordinance Ambler, the Secretary of the Citizens’ ciation, stated to a reporter that, although no organization was eifeeted, he had intor- nral directions to calla mass-meeting of. cit- izens to protest against any action of the Council which would repeal or modify the present layy, GOSSIP FOR LADIES, and those present stated ider the possibil- Mr, dittle morocco-covered note-book and an eo- Dbroidered anarket-basket, and . vied a gold pencil. wore an esthetic morning-costume, And appeared like a vision of delight before ‘the magnates of the cleaver-at-the Central market, 2 “Q:the dear, sweet, cunning little ybigs,?? “She exclaimed, stopping at.an aldermanic Stand where several (little ,roasters were on exhibition. “ill.take a couple of those; how much are they a pair 2” “Five dallars for two;??

Probably go as far as the front door,” : &runted Mr. Spoopendyke. “Women don’t | g0 shvoting. It’s only men. All you've got! to do is to wake me up.and get breakfast. | When I come home we'll have some birds.” | “ Won’t that be nice ?*” chimed Mrs. Spoop- | endyke. “Can you eatch birds with -that | thing?” and Mrs. Spoopendyke fiuttered | around the improved breach-loading shot- gun, firmly impressed with the idea that it was some kind of a trap. “Tean kill’em With this,” explained Mr. Spoopendyke. “This isa gun, my dear; it isn’tanest with three speckled eggs in it,’ nor is ita barn with a hole in the roof. You stick the cartridge in here and pull this finger piece, and down comes your bird every ie.’ “Well, isn’t that the greatest thing! Isup- pose it you don’t want a patridge, you can stick a duck or a turkey. in that end, too, or a fish or a lobster, and bring*itdown just as : quick.” : “ Yes, or you can stick a house or a corn- field, or adod gasted femule idiot in there, too, if you want to!” snorted Mr. Spoopen- dyke. “Who said avyihing about a part- ridge? It’s a cartridge that goes in there??? “Ohl? ejaculated Mrs. Spoopendyke, rather erestfallen. “Isee now. Where does the bird go?” : “Ue goes to night school, if he hasu’t got any more sense than you have,” snorted Mr. Spoopendyke, “Look here, now, and LU show you how it works,” and Mr. Spoop- endyke, whose ideas of a gun were about as vague as those of his wife, inserted the cartridge half way in the muzzle end, and cautiously cocked the weapon, “And when the bird sees that he comes and eks atit! Isn’t that the funniest!” and irs. Spoopendyke clapped her hands in the enjoyment of her discovery. “Then you put out your band and cateh him!” * You've struck it!” howled Mr. Spoopen- dyke, who had the hammer on the half-cock, and was vainly pulliny at the trigger to get it down, “That's the idea! All you need is four feathers and a_gas bill to be a martin- gale! With your notions you only want a new stock and a steam trip-hammer to be a needie-gun! Don’t you know the dod gasted thing has got to xo off before you get a bird? You shoot the birds; you don’t wait tor em to shoot you!” “At home we used to always chop their bends off with an ax,” faltered Mrs. Spoopen- yEe. “SoAvould I, if I was going after measly old hens,” retorted Mr. Spoopendyke, who had managed to uncock the contrivance, “but when I go for yellow birds and spar- rows Igo like asportsman. While I’m w ing for a bird,” continued Mr. Spoo, endyke, adjusting the cartridge at the breeeh, “I put the load in here for safety. And when I see aftock ) aim and fire.” s Bang! went the gun, knocking ‘the tail fathers out of an eight day clock, and plow- ing a foot furrow in the wall, perforating the closet door, and culminating in Mr. Spoopen- dyke’s plug hat, : “Goodness, gracious!’ squeaked Mrs. Spoupendyke. “Oh, my!? “Mr. Spoopendyke gathered himself up and contemplated the damage. _ , i. Why cotldn’tye keep still 2? heshrieked. “ What'd ye want to disturb my aim for and make me Jet it off? Think I can hold back a charge of powder and a pound of shot while a measly woman is searing it through @ gun barrel 27 ; “ It that had been a bird, how nicely you would have shot it!’ suggested Mrs. Spoo- pendyke, soothingly. “if you should ever aim ata bird, you’d cateh him, sure? “Ob!you Know whatI cou!d do! With your information about gunnery you only need a wad in your mouth and a kick like & juule to bea mountain howitzer! If I had Pot intelligence on sporting subjects, ’d hire out for a shottower! Don’t you know you've spoiled the dud gasted gun?” And Ar. Spoopendyke, anxious for some excuse to take it baek to his friend Specklewottle, Who loaned it to him, held it out and eyed his wife sternly, “ You've ruined that gun,” he continued solemnly. “ Lt won't ever go ol again,” “Never mind, dear,” consoled Mrs. Spoop- endyke. “Iv’s been off enouch, and I'd just as lief have some clams as birds, You g0 to bed and we'll try and do without any birds.” ‘It won't ever go off again,” repeated Mr. Spoopendyke, as he climbed ‘into his couch, “That is a ruined .gun,” and he turned his face to the wall. Ars. Spoopendyke slowly disrobed, having first turned a stream of water Into the gun Trom the faucet, and betook her to rest. It may not go off again,” she thought, “but if it does, the neighbors will think the water- inain has burst,” with which reflection she began to patthe ear of Mr. Spuonendyke, Who turned over like an earthquake, and wanted to know if she thought she hadn’t done enough mischief without lamming him like a dod-gasted blacksmith 1?

A-word in your ear. Alexandra is bleach- jg her hair. Fact, Lassure you. She used tohaver plentifw crop of nut-brown locks, ‘but now there is a decided blondish tint. which art, not nature, hasthrown there. It is really quite amazing to observe the youth- ful appearance—even girlish—of this mother of five children. Yesterday, im her charm- ingly simple dress of dark-blue linen, with deep square collaret ot Irish lace, and her tiny straw bonnet trimmed with cherries, she held her own in grace and charm with the most renowned beauties present, whether these were driving, on foot, or galloping over the historie sward of Rotten Row. Well, when a woman is a Princess she can with impunity cultivate a genre, however strange. Alexandra’s genre is a stiffness of bear- ing, a total absence of sinuosity, which, con- trary to all the traditions of feminine grace, still conveys the impression of great dignity. In public, no matter now wearisome the cer- emonies in which she may be taking part, she never assumes any attitude which might seem to indicate fatizne. She always sits bolt upright, and the distance trom her ear tip to her waist isso much longer than is usual in a woman's fizure, even the slimmest one, that she can overlay neck frill upon neck frill with immensely stylish effect and with- out laying herself open to the milliner’s re proach ot being surchurgee.. Witness the app ee of her neck at the last court drawing-room, when she wore three dia- mond necklaces, two strings of pearls, and above these a velvet band with frills of ruch- ing on both edges. Fancy all that at once ona woman with an ordinary neck! The truth is, Alexandra is quite as thin as Sarah Bernhardt, yet her theory of dressing is radically different. , A MAN WHO HIT A WOMAN. New York Sun. Two nights ago, on the 7 o’clock boat from Staten Island, a well-iressed Irish woman of robust frame calmly removed # camp stool from beneath the extended legs of a rubicund German and put her own feet thereon. The German’s feet came down to the deck witha heartrending crash as he waked from an in- cipient nap, and he gazea around for the stool, When he saw where it had gone he deliberately walked over to the woman, jerked the stool away, and gave her a hearty slap in the face. Ip an instant she was around his neck with one arm, and boxing his head around with the free hand in a most interesting . way. The © German shook her off, but she made another grab and caught him by the face. Her hand grasped several features, and, unfortunately for her, a finger came too close to his mouth, and he bit it vigorously. She loosed her hold and tried to zet at him’ again, but the ystanders interfered. “He hit me; he hit a woman,” she panted: ““Now, madame,” said one of the two deckhands who held her, “you-take a fool’s advice and let him alone.” “Lem me git at’im. Lem me git——” She struggied so violently that the men at last ‘dragged her forward and left ‘her an- tagonist out of sight As she was drawn away she made one more violent effort to et at the Teuton, and then disappeared. fie mopped his face vigorously for a mo- ment, and then said, as he disposed of his She was a graduate of Vassar, and, when she married Julius Augustus Smythe, was very much like another young lady who has been embalmed in song— Migs Palias Andora von Blurky, Who didn’t know chicken from turkey; | High _Spanian and Greek she could fluently But ber knowledge of poultry was murky.
