Editor Storey's Palace.

From the Des Moines Register.
Some such man as Armour, with a
few spare millions at hand, will be in
demand one of these days, when the
great palace of Wilbur f. Storey, the
lemented editor, will be sold. 1t is of
marble, four or five stories high, and
contains eighty rooms. If Mr.. Storey
dreamed of the biggest newspapers on
earth, Mrs Storey's visions were of the
biggest and costliest house. That the
grand mansion, as yet incomplete, after
1--WE years OF work, was her idea no one
who knew Storey in his vigor doubts.
Nobody cared less for such things than
he. He is said to have been told by the
spirits that he should build the house,
and as he was at that time completely
under the influence of the shadowy
visitors, he promptly began operations.
After a little he lost faith in the spirits,
but he kept right on with his palace.
When finished it will have cost about
$500, 900, and the question which agi-
;ates some sections of Chicago society is
Who will live in it?
1t is not probable that Mrs. Storey
ever will, though that has been the
cherished hope of her life. The pro-

ng that in addition she should have
30, 900 a year from the estate. Since
mis- mind failed she claims that he has
prepared another will, giving her all
his property with the exception of a few
requests to relatives. This Will is in
her possession and the other one is in
the vaults at the office.

The Vermont forestry commission

have reported that the annual dim
milton of forests in that State Is grow
ing less owing to increased consump-
ton of coal. In regard to the removal
of the forests upon the springs streams
and ponds, it is that the water supply
is year by year failing and that the
smaller streams which had never until
recently been known to fail, often be-
came dry in dry seasons. This question
seems to be the one which has engaged
the attention of the people more than
any other in connection with forestry
and is generally admittedto be the great
