To Prevent Collapse. Sheel bands ate belug placed around

the pillars which form a part of the sup­port of the Assembly staircase of the Capitol in Albany. The staircase is of saudstone, and for some time there have been large cracks and crevices in the columns on the main floor. The Btate architect has had them under observation, and the steel bands are belug placed about the columns to prevent a possible collapse. It is believed that the cracks a-.e caused by the setting of a part of the foundation. Eighteen years ago the stair­case settled, and several thousand dol­lars were expeuded raising it and recon­structing the foundation. It is believed that ultimately the staircase will be re­constructed.

Munn's New Building.

The construction of the new Munn piano factory addition is now under way. Ground was broken last week and a large force of men are at work on the founda­tion. The ground is low In that quarter and much difficulty has been experienced lu getting solid bottom on which to ereut the foundation. It was the purpose to excavate until hardpan or gravel was reached. In some places no difficulty occurred, but In others the trenohes were dug six or seven feet deep before suitable material to build on was found. Another inconvenience was the water which began to gather In the trenches at a depth of three feet. The old band fire engine was brought Into service and the water was pumped out.

It was Mr. Munn's original Intention to build of concrete, but owing to the softness of the earth at that place, has about decided to erocta wooden building.

The structure will rest on as solid a foundation as can be made. The trenohes which are from Ave to seven feet deep are filled with grout consisting of a mix­ture of pounded stone and Portland cement which becomes as hard as stone itself.

The new buildlug will be 112x36 feet and three stories high. When completed the entire building will be nearly 260 feet long.—Reporter.

THE MONDORES AGAIN.

This An Time it is a Half-witted One Elopement.

The Moudore family of Grand Gorge remain at the front. A few years ago one of the family was a central figure lp a tremendous sensation, eloping with Katie Clura, a white girl who claimed he had hypnotized her. After being resqued in New Jersey by Policeman Mclntyre of this city, the girl told a thrilling story. Her marriage with Moudore was annull­ed. Later they were remarried aud It Is presumed lived happily ever after. Now It is Frank Moudore who Is doing things. He was arrested in Oueonta reoently. It is charged that for several weeks Mou-dore has been frightening women and children at East End, that village. He slept in an old park pavilion, and roamed about the neighboring houses at night, peeking In windows and keeping the wo­men lu fear for him.

Moudore was tried before a justice and fouud guilty, but Bentenue was suspend­ed on his promise to leave Oueouta. He Is 36 years old aud Is thought to be either half-witted or mildly Insane. He said that he meant no harm and that he made the put. his abode because ha had rheuma­tism aud he wauted to be In the sun as much as possible.

He insisted that he was all right until some 11 lends took him to Biugbamton to see a circus a tew weeks ago and they tilled him with beer aud he had not beau right since.

Residents of every village will be in­terested to know that when the $50,000,-000 bond Issue for road Improvement is approved by the people this fall, that it Is expected to be of particular benefit to every village which has a main highway to be Improved under the bond Issue pass­ing through It. When the state aid laws were first passed incorporated cities and villages were excluded from the benefit of the state aid by the statute because It was feared that real estate speculators would use the statute for the purpose of having the streets constructed In cities and villages for the benefit of their real estate holdings, and for this reason the expenditure of the money In cities and villages was purposely excluded. Now, alter el {lit years of experience it Is fouud that this Is unfair to the cities aud vil­lages having a malu highway passing through them, .and it Is the Intention of the Legislature, when the $50,000^000 arc available, to so amend the highway law that the streets of a city or village ean be connected up at state, county aud town expense under the bond IBSUO, pro­vided, the streets so Improved conuects at either end of the village with an Im­proved highway which forms part of the county and state system.

I.lkc Mirny a Man. A horse was entered In a trotting

face. When be wns put on the track to bo warmed up he seemed to move Willi great energy, and a number of inexperienced persons put up their mon­ey ou him, but when the actual race came off a rawbonod, yew ueclced ani­mal that had no style about him passed the showy horse with great ease and on the home stretch distanced him.

"That, horse," said ait experienced race track man who had been wise enough to back the rawboned steed, "•which lost out is like a good many people. He spends too much time and energy going up lu the air Instead of getting over the earth."—Missouri Val­ley Farmer.

It is n mistake to associate pride or foppishness with self respect. The one rises from a judicious consideration of what we are, the other from an extrav-ngaut notion of what something ex­traneous has made us. The one is true, the other is false, and both can­not exist together. A man that re­spects himself cannot be proud, and a proud man docs not respect himself.
