A REVOLUTION IN THE BRICK WORLD. RE-PRODUCED BY COURTESY OP THE REYNOLDSVILLE BRICK AND TILE COMPANY. There is at the present time a very general revolution go ing on In tbe brick world. It is only a few short years that the smooth, uniformly shaded dry press brick was the only brick worth considering for any high cla?s brick work Within tbe past few years tbe dry press brick has been pushed, in a very large sense In the background by tbe ad vent of tbe stiff mud brick. To an average individual the ' dry press brick is very much superior in appearance to the so-called stiff mud brick, if we consider from an individual brick standpoint. If we carry tbe comparison on just a little further and are able to see the really finished product in completed brick resldpr-re we are able to see the real beauty in a high grade stiff mud brick and a marked superiority in Its appearance over the old smooth brick that iu the present day bas become tiresome to the average eve. The movement to get away from vthe so-called "painted .brick wall" did not end with tbe advent of tbe ordinary etlff . mud brick, but has been carried forward to a point of using - tbe BtitT mud brick with a wire cut face. This a few years ' ago was considered by most people as a very rough and un saleable product. Now, in addition to the use of tbe wire cut face, the up-to-date brick man is not content with the " Ordinary wire cut, but is resorting to all mannerof schemes to make still rougher tbe already rough surface or face of tbe brick. Tbe gf neral cry of the brick buyer, the architects and tbe general public is for something with a rougher sur face or face. The leading writers in our building magazines and building journals are wellding their pens against the "nalnted brink wall" and In favor nf tha riuiirh tunA v..ii. here spoken of. Tbe matter nf closely shading brick is of less importance here than in the finer grades of brick; tbe various shades of brick being used to bring out marke.l de signs or tbe architect. Can you look past a rough face brick, perhaps of several colors, to a new brick building and see tbe B nibbed product or a rough faced brick? Can you see a building with the old style of Greek architecture standing out, and see here a building completed but yesterday and yet having the appearance of a building completed a hundred or , perhaps two hundred years ago, according as the design of the architect may desire? If you can do this, then you can realize what the revolution in the brick business means and wny h is an coming aoout. Probably the most popular rough faced brick on tbe mar ket to-day is the "Velvet Brick" manufactured by the Reyn oldsvllle Brl .-k and Tile Co. These brick may be laid up in any number of different styles of architecture. The real red should be laid up with red mortar. This gives a rich red olor to the building that cannot otherwise be obtained. The same brick may be laid up as a Dutch brick, in which case the red "Velvet" stretcher and a black header should be used, with about an inch to an inch and a quarter mortar joint. The joint shouid then be raked back from the face of tbe brick about one to one and a quarter inches. This grade of brick work, when viewed from a distance of from sixty to one hundred feet represents a building of real beauty. This style of architecture is suitable for large buildings The new dormitory of the Indiana State Normal School is built with this design and is an exceptionally fine piece of brick work. This grade of brick bas been used extensively for cor nice and window trimming with both red and buff brick. The contrast of this brick for this purpose is a very pleasing effect to the eye and when the various shades of the "Vel vet" are worked out In the oriental designs into which they will work, tbe effect is doubly pleasing. We might go on for time unlimited and show in a very superficial manner !)' various nop ol thin "Velvet Brick," but for the present l- l u ay simply that tbe "Vehet Brick" bas come to stay and that ihe architecture of our Greek and Persian ancestors is going to be revived and that some time in the not far distant future we will have a real revival of tbe one time famed Grecian beauty. VAGRANTS ON THE PENNSYLVANIA Reports just compiled by the Pennsylvania Railroad show that during the year 1!M)8 (157 trespassers were killed and 791 Injured on the lines of tbe Pennsylvania system east and west of Pittsburgh. In 1907 822 trespassers were killed. These figures emphaatze tbe recommendation in tbe recent annual reports of the state railroad commissions of Pennsyl vania and Indiana that laws should be enacted providing substantial punishment for all persons who trespass on the rights of way of railways. President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania, writing to O. F. Lewis, of tbe Charity Organization Society of New York, says that his company has been unable to develop co-operation by the towns and cities along its lines In prosecuting and convicting trespassers and vagrants. The number of arrests has increased to such an extent that many city and town authorities are unable at times to take care of tbe trespass ers sentenced to their penal institutions for confinement. It is tbe same old story of shirking and neglect. Mr. McCrea says: "County authorities will assert that a vagrant be per mitted to move from one county to another before being ar rested and the county in which the an est is made charged with the maintenance of the prisoner. County authorities and their constituents object to the expense entailed In the maintenance of these people. When vagrants are arrested and Incarcerated in county jails it is seldom that any record is taken of them, and when they are released and again In carcerated in the jail of another county, tbe latter county bas no record Bhowing former Incarcerations. With co-operation tbe records of vagrants would be accessible to all county authorities, and confirmed tramps could be singled out and given adequate punishment." During the year 1908 2,989 persons were arrested for tres passing, 442 lor vagrancy, and 10,457 for illegal traln-rldlng on the Hues of the Pennsylvanlasystem. Railway Age Qazette, THE COMING CONTEST. While the active canvass of the candidates for the Repub lican nomination for District Attorney of Jefferson county will not commence for several weeks, Interest is Increasing and the preliminary "wire pulling" is being done even now that will eventually line up the voters for the various can didates. Tbe race will be a triangular contest with Brook ville, Punxsutawney and Reyuoldsvllle as the centers of In fluence. Brook ville will be represented by Raymond E Brown, and Punxsutawney by Jesse C. Long, both young and promising members of tbe Jefferson county bar. Reynolds ville will have as a candidate its former mayor, Lawyer Smith M. McCrelght, who, it will be remembered, was prom inently mentioned for the position nice years ago, and grace fully withdrew at that time in deference to tbe greater ex perience of tbe attorney who bas since performed the duties of the office so ably. McCrelght is probably tbe best known of tbe three but tbe geographic location of Brown and Long with reference to tbe vote is such that an Interesting contest is assured, with the home vote of each as a deciding factor. Tbe following is part of a published report of the last meeting of tbe Business Men's Exchange of DuBois; "During 'he discussion It was remarked that it seemed that no movement for public Improvement could be made In DuBois without some interest butting In and opposing it. This brought forth the remark that a peacemaker was needed in DuBois; another member remarked that a fool killer waB what was needed. ' Yes, I guess that is right," was there sponee, "these things will not be straightened out until Du Bois has a number of first-class funerals." Which, somehow, has a curiously reminiscent sound. Reynoldsvllle and other tanning towns are ratching tbe new tariff with deep Interest. As reported by the Ways and Means Commltte, bides are on tbe free list. If considered favorably and made a law it will do much to Insure contin uous operation of many tanneries now running naif time on account of inability to secure hides from Armours, who have a practical monopoly. At present there is a fifteen per cent, ad valorem duty on cattle bides; its removal would mean cheaper bides for the tanner and cheaper leather for the consumer. The sale of the Twyford Automobile factory at Brookvllle by the sheriff last Monday closes another gloomy chapter in the record of county financial ventures in which the people invested without real investigation of the concern. Brook villa and Reynoldsvllle people have paid dearly for their ex perience in this way. White bread will be a curionitv If the order of Seprntar of Agriculture Wilson is enforced. It says that millers must stop bleaching flour. The flour will be the same but the color of golden hue. A.
