Moore Keeping Posted, l “I am keeping as well posted upon the | Proposed Coxey crusade as I can by means | of the newspapers,” said Maj. Wm. «G. Moore, superintendent of police, this morn- ing. “Of course I have no other sources of information. It may or may not amount to anything, but it seems to me that the na- | tional government should keep itself fully ‘informed about a movement which seems to have for its intention an invasion of the | national capital. The present conditions of the country are not such as to warrant free permission being given. to a considerable body of men to march through it for any distance, no matter how peaceable their in- tentions might be. The Coxey crowd, if it comes, will have to traverse the states of | Pernsylvania and Maryland, and in the former particularly immense numbers of men are out of work and more or less dis- tisfied. They would naturally gravitate | toward such a crowd as that contemplated | by Coxey, and no matter how smali it might be when it left Massillon it would, like a snowball, increase in size as it went along by gathering up the idle as well as the vicious. I don’t think the demonstra- tion will amount to anything, but I am keeping an eye open toward it. Of course, so far as the police force is concerned, it will be found ready, as it always is, to meet any emergency that may arise.” SERTES | A Good Chance to Try Ca: From the Buffalo Express, . A woman whose face was wan and pinch- | ed went into a big Main street grocery store the other day and looked around curiously. She was poorly dressed, and had a tattered | shaw! thrown over her head. | After walking all through the store, she approached a counter and asked: “Where are the canned goods?” The clerk directed her to the counter and she walked over. “What can I do for you, madam?” asked the man who has charge of that department. Officials Do Not Think It Likely to Reach Washington. Maj. Moore is Keeping Himself Posted and Says the Police Will Be Ready for Any Emergency. Those nervous people who always look under the bed and up the chimney before they retire for the night and place a chair against the door with its back under the knob to increase the efficient guardianship of a double bolt and a Yale lock are shiver- ing like an Aztec would in Alaska over the terrible times that Washington will experi- ence along about May 1 when Col. Coxey and Maj. Brown reach the city with more or less than a couple of hundred thousand men to corral Congress and compel that august body to forthwith pass certain bills that will provide work for every man in the United States who wants It. The timorous are not only shaking in their boots, as be- fore mentioned, but they are indulging in — whispered fears that make their own and | their hearers’ hair stand on end itke pin feathers on a youthful and unabashed dominicker chicken.

A HOME IN THE Progress Made in Introducing Here the Apartment House. SOME NEW IMPROVEMENTS There is undeniably a more general inter- est manifested on the part of residents of the city in the country and country life at this season of the year than at any other. There is generally some change to be made in the manner of living, and the spring is the time usually fixed upon ‘o inaugmate the new departure. It is seldom that the plans of one summer have suflicient vital- ity or attractiveness to do for ihe succeed- ing summer. Places that were highly thought of in the family circle at the open- ing of last season will hardly be mentioned in making the plans for the coming season. There are some people who go to tne same summer resorts year after year and whose Plans continue unchanged, but such people are in the minority. Everybody, nclujing his uncle and his aunt, begins anew the new year. In this city, fortunately, tnere is not that stress laid upon the residents to go away for the summer,except for pleasure trips, as is the case in other ¢ ties. She healthfulness of this city duriag the hot weather, and in fact all through the year, has been demonstrated. It is also a cool place to spend the sum- mer, although now and then statements are heard which would indicate that this was the hottest section in this region of cou! It may now be as cool as 1 heig! crag: sy meadows of Alaska, but neither is there here that stifling atmosphere whica is fuund in cities with narrow streets and no breath- ing places. While all these attractions of summer life in this city are permanent and fresh each year, still the fact is not over- looked that the suburbs affo-d delightful summer homes. This fact has een perscn- ally discovered by so many thousands {-om the time, which is now over a ceatury ago, since this city was founded, down to the present, that it become pretty well known. It is probable that a great Jeul of attention will be paid to the suburhs this year, and the hope is entertained that the country population will be largely increas- ed. There is a good deal of land that hes been subdivided into city lots and connect- ed with the city by means of steam and electric railroads, so that there Is an abun- dance of opportunity for those who desire to do so to procure a site for a suburban home. City in the Country. It ts not uncommon to find those who have homes in the city and also in the country. The house in the country remains closed during the winter, and then wien spring comes again the owners return to it. There are others who have established homes in the country and live there the year round, and owing to the proximity to the city and the facilities which are now afforded the country residents they can en- joy practically all the conveniences of the city while living in the country. ent of the desire which is not quite to g eral as to be termed universal, bu: is never- theless quite general on the part of the hu- man family, to get away from *he heat an@ the noise and the bustle of the creat city to the peaceful beauty and ‘he restful quiet of the country, suburban life another attraction of erling quality, especially to the resident of this city. It opens up a prospect for a man of lim- ited means t» make quite a prosperous start on the road which ends in his becom- ing the owner of his own home. There are such opportunities in the city, but, owing to the difference in values, a man gets more | for his money—that is to say, more in quan- |tity—in the country than he does in the city. He has a bigger house and larger grounds for the same sum that would be asked for a rather small house in a rather unfashionable section of the city. Some- how a man’s income does not seem to be quite so small when he is the owner of a house that has a real lawn about it, and perhaps in one corner a kitchen garden and perhaps a small stable. Not Very Expensive. There is one thing about a home in the country, especially if it is only inten ied for summer use, and that is that it can be put up cheaply. People make a mistake in try- gto have their country homes just as fine as their city homes,with all the comforts and conveniences of a modern city house. All these things add to the worry and vexation of life, to say nothing of the expense of liv- ing. A house can be put up very simply and very cheaply. One resident of Wash- ington has built his country home of the rough boards which had been sawn from the logs. They are nailed against the frame-work, and serve every purpose of keeping out the rain and the heat. In other ways this sensible policy is car- ried out. There are no more rooms than are absolutely needed, and as it is the in- tention to spend the greater part of the days out of doors or on the porch, it is not @ great matter whether there happens to be separate rooms for the parlor and library and d'ning room cr whether all these rooms combined in one. The house is fur- nished in the same simple way, with inex- pensive furniture, and as little of it as pos- ible, and when the cold weather returns and the owner is ready to go back to his city home all he has to do is to wrn the _key in the door and leave the house, with the confidence that he will find it im the same condition when he comes back. Car- rying out this program, a few hundred dol- lars will buy a lot, and a few hundrei more will build a house, and so, at a compara- | tively slight outlay, the home in the country is provided. The partment House Problem. It is propos@f to increase the height of the Portland apartment house by the addi- tion of two stories. The roof is to be flat, and will be protected by a parapet, so that it can be usei as a roof garden. This build- ing is the original apartment house of the city. The suites of roorgs are supplied with kitchens, but very few of the kitchens are used, as the occupants of the flats prefer to take their meals in the cafe. The Rich- mond, another apartment house, which was put up some years after the Portland, was also designed for people who wished to keep house, but somehow those who rented the suites were perfectly willing to resigu the pleasures of housekeeping. With the oxcep- tion of the Concord, and perhaps one or two small apartment houses, in all the other buildings in this city used for this purpose kitchens are not a part of the suite. The new apartment house which Mr. Schneider intends to build on “2 etreet Will also be without these adjuncts. It seems, therefore, that people in this city desire to be entirely free from house- hold cares even when they live in a flat building. It would seem, however, that in this city, as is the case in other cities, the time will come when the apartment house will be the refuge for those who want to escape from high house rent, and at the same time enjoy all the comforts of home, which includes making the kitchen fire ani getting your own meals when your servant don't happen to be around. The fact that this class of buildings has not increaseé more rapidiy here may be taken as an indica- tion thas house rents have not yet reachei that high figure which makes the apartment house in other cities absolute necessity.

Sheriff Burchinell followed this with an- other, which said that he could maintain peace and that nobody but the governor is seeking to disturb the peace, and he is act- ing in contempt of the district court of this county.
