Ii I I Concrete Buildings, Cement Cement Walks Call and See Us for Estimates I :■ JACKSONVILLE POST-: THE WATER WORKS. Last week we promised to explain some things in regard to the present status of the waterworks, but it is somewhat difficult to know where to begin and just how much explanation is necessary. In the first place, as to raising funds: under the town charter no method of raising funds for purposes such as the construction of waterworks was provided, hence it was deemed necessary to amend the charter so as to give the council authority to issue bonds for that purpose. Up to 1906 the power to amend the charter was vested in the state legislature, but by an amendment to the constitution of Oregon, adopted in that year, the power to enact and amend city charters was taken from the legislature and declared vested in the people of said cities. In pursuance of this amendment, the legislature in 1907 passed an act providing the manner in which municipalities might exercise the initiative and referendum powers granted by the constitution, and also allowing each municipality the right to provide a method of its own for said purpose, provided: that such method did not conflict with the constitution or the general laws of the state; in a word: the people, and the people only, can amend the town charter but they must do it either by a legal method prescribed by an ordinance or by the method provided by the legislature.

FAKING OLD MASTERS. Spurious Antique Paintings and the Credulity of Purchasers. “The most amazing thing about spurious ‘old masters,' ” said a Lon don picture expert, “is the credulity of the purchasers. They have only to stop and reflect a moment to un derstand that comparatively few canvases were produced by the mas ters, who for the most part were slow and careful workmen, and then let them consider how many per sons there are who claim to possess Rambrandts, Rubenses and Van Dycks, not to mention Corots, Dau- bignys and Ziems. The experts themselves are deceived sometimes.” “What is the exact process for re producing old paintings?” the ex pert was asked. “When a dealer finds a purchaser in the form of an American seek ing to gain a reputation as a patron of art he seeks some artist who is a careful student of old paintings and a man of genius in copying rather than in original work. The artist secures a canvas and chassis, or inner frame, of the period de sired. The canvas is probably daubed with the work of some un known man and is quite worthless. “All traces of paint are removed by washing the canvas with a hard brush dipped in potash. Next a preparation of calk glue is applied. Several coats of this are put on and smoothed with pumice. Finally a coat of oil is applied, and when this is dry the canvas is ready to receive the talent of the modern ‘old mas ter.’ “It is a mistake to believe that the mellow tints of ancient pictures cannot be reproduced. A clever artist can do anything in the way of coloring. The subject chosen is usually that of a well known work, with slight changes in composition and the possible omission of details considered unpleasing to the mod ern eye. “When the picture is finished it is left to dry for a few months, and it remains only to give it the cracks characteristic of old paintings, his is done by running the thumb along the back of the canvas wher ever a crack is desired. White chalk hardens the paint and makes crack ing easy. The dealer invents an in teresting story of how the picture hung on the walls of this or that historic chateau and strikes off an old sales catalogue to prove its au thenticity. He even makes engrav ings, for it is customary to have en gravings of the old masters. “These devices, with the reputa tion of the dealer, generally suc ceed in deceiving the wealthy Amer icans. I have seen such pictures sold time and again, always bring ing the enormous sums which are the market price of genuine master pieces.”—Chicago News. "The Whitecoats.” When the first Duke of Newcastle set about raising a regiment for the king in the civil war his men were known as “Whitecoats.” The Tea- son of the nickname is told in a let ter from the duchess, which is printed in the life of the duke: “My lord, being resolved to give them new liveries and there not be ing red cloth enough to be had, took up so much of white as would serve to clothe them, desiring withal their patience until he got it dyed, but they, impatient of stay, request ed my lord that he would be pleased to let them have it undyed as it was, promising they themselves would dve it in the enemies’ blood. Which request my lord granted them, and from that time they were called Whitecoats.” He Didn’t Object. A man who was a bachelor was waiting for a train in the refresh ment room at a large station. It was presided over by a good looking girl who happened to have red hair. The man asked if she could oblige him with n match. “With pleasure, if you do not ob ject to a red headed one,” she re plied, with such a suggestive, de mure smile that she aroused his in terest. And now they are a very happy couple. Above the Law of tho Land to Which They Are Accredited. In every civilized country the per son of a foreign ambassador is held to be inviolable, the law of the land being powerless to touch him for any offense. Immunity from arrest extends also to an ambassador’s servants and the members of his suit. There is, however, one case of rec ord in which an ambassador’s as sistant was really executed, and that was in Great Britain. This was in 1053, and the victim was Pantaloon Sa, who was the brother and one of the train of the Portuguese ambas sador. lie quarreled with an ac quaintance over a business matter and wounded him, the life of the party attacked being saved only by the intervention of bystanders. But the next night Pantaleon Sa, with fifty of his Portuguese friends, all armed to the teeth, sought out his enemy with the intention of kill ing him. There was a desperate struggle, and one person was killed and several were wounded. The guards were called in, but the Por tuguese fired on them also. Than Pantaloon Sa sought refuge in his embassy, where he thought he was safe, but the ambassador surren dered him, and he was duly execut ed after some hesitation on the part of the authorities. The most extraordinary example of ambassadorial privilege on record occurred in 1GG1, when the French and Spanish ambassadors at London and their retinues fought a fierce battle in the streets of that capital, twelve persons being killed and for ty wounded. On this occasion a new Swedish ambassador was com ing to London, and there was a dis pute between the French and Span ish ambassadors as to who should have precedence in the procession of welcome. When at last the Swedish diplomatists arrived and was proceeding from Tower hill to Whitehall, the Spaniards, who had a force of a hundred men on foot and fifty on horseback, formed across the road to bar the passage of the French. The latter fired a volley and charged the Spanish, sword in hand. Three horses, the postilion and the coachman of the French ambassador were killed at the outset, but the struggle lasted for a long time after that. In the end victory was with the Spanish. Nobody was punished. Nor could anybody be punished if such an event should happen anywhere to day.—Harper’s Weekly. Striking a Light. Friction matches are a compara tively modern invention. The first really practical friction match was made in the United States in 1836 by L. C. Allen of Springfield, Mass. Before this time a clumsy form of match was imported from France, which had to be dipped into a bot tle of sulphuric acid before it could be lighted. This took a great deal of time end trouble, and Allen, see ing the necessity for friction matches, set about to make them and succeeded. He neglected to patent them, however, and on finally applying for letters patent found that a man named Alonzo Phillips, who was a peddler, had discovered through a third person the secret of making the matches and had al ready obtained a patent. Rossetti's Elephant. Tho Wit of Cicero. Cicero replied to Vibius Curius, who was telling a falsehood about his age, “Then when we declaimed at the school together you were not born,” and to Fabia, who said 6he was thirty, “No doubt, for I have heard you say so twenty years.” When he saw Lentulus, his cousin, a little man girt with a big sword, ho said, “What has fastened my cousin to that sword?” On being shown a colossal bust of his brother, who was also small, he exclaimed, “Tho half of my brother is greater than the whole.” One day Cicero had supped with Damasippus and his host had said, putting some inferior wine before him, .“Drink this, Falerian; it is forty years old!” “It bears its age well,” replied Cicero.—From L’Ee* trange’s “History of Humor,” Goldsmith, M. B. The lovable character of the au thor of “Tho Vicar of Wakefield” shines through and irradiates a brief story which Richard Ashe King has incorporated in his biog raphy of Goldsmith. Goldsmith, who set up as a physi cian on the Bankside, Southwark, anticipated modern therapeutics in recognizing that every sick man is a special case, demanding special treatment. He was once called to a poor pa* tient who plainly stood in greater need of food than of physic. The tender hearted doctor put all the money he had in his pocket into a pill box and wrote on the label: “To bo taken as occasion re quires.” _____________ The Soft Answer. “Do you know you are fishing in forbidden water?” roared a voice from the bridge. “No,” said the fisherman on Kie bank quietly, regardless of yet an other angling lie that was placed to his credit. ‘It is preserved water,” went on his new found friend, “and it cost me a lot of money to stock it with fish.” “Ah, what fish?” asked the an gler, intent upon rod and line. “Roach, sir, roach!” replied the owner. “Then there’s no need for you to worry,” replied the fisherman calm ly, “for I happen to be fishing for trout.”—London Mail. Why He Resigned. Heard in a studio: “Did you ever hear the real rea son for the famous resignation from the academy last year ?” “No. Did you?” “Why, yes. As it was told to me, a letter was addressed to ‘the lead ing landscape painter of America’ at the academy, and it wasn’t for warded to where he thought it ought to go.”—New York Sun.

LEGAL BLANKS Needed. A young minister had obtained a kirk in a mining district in Scot land. After a deal of difficulty he managed to secure lodgings. The first morning following his arrival the landlady knocked at the door with the rather unusual query as to whether he had washed himself. “Yes,” he said. “Whv?” “Because,” she replied calmly, “I’m gaun to mak’ a dumplin’ for the dinner, an’ I wad like the len’ o’ the basin!”—London Tit-Bits.
