their skill. Their design is a mastery
one, every line of which indicates
strength and character.
The building is square OF 2S2 feet
across the pavilions, which projects IA
feet each way from the main line of the
building, so that the building proper is
254 feet each way. 1t has four entrances
to the main floor, two to the basement
which on Fourth street is above the
grade line-and q driveway entirely
through the building. This driveway
is to be used for hauling in and out
heavy articles-cOal, ashes, etc, and for
bringing and taking away prisoners,
who are taken from this to the criminal
court rooms without contact with the
general public. and as an extensive
porte cOchere where persons who go to
the buildings in carriages can alight
and leave their carriages while they are
engaged at the building.
The main entrances are through large,
arched portals, the steps being under
cover. The arch at the Fourth street
entrance is so feet wide, SIS feet high
and % feet back to the doors. The steps.
at the Fourth and Fifth street entrances
are "a feet wide, the others 20 feet wide.
At the center.Of the Fourth street front is
the main tower which is $50 feet high.
The large clock with 20 feet dials is 800
feet from the ground-being the highest
in the world. On the Fifth street front
is tower 220 feet high and the corner
paviliOns are 1876 feet high. The build
ing is over 100 feet to the square. 1t is
so designed that there are no lodging
places for snow, and yet so that when
snow falls it does not interfere with the
entrances, and no SNOW slides to the in
side of the building where the court is
covered over about 60 feet from the
ground.
This forms grand hall at the center
of the building about 100 feet square,
which is one of the features of this de-
sign. The covering is of glass, so as to
leave the whole interior as light as out
doors. This great hall contains all the
main stairways, elevators, etc. One of
the distinguishing features of the. ex-
lerior is the simplicity of the outline,
there being no bay windows, turrets or
columns used to ornament it. The
architects have thus secured very Dig
dified design and very economical one
at the same time. The arrangement of
the plan of this building places ali the
corridors in view at once and faces all
rooms outward. The corridors arc wide

Fourth street front. There are also
two smaller towers on the Fifth street
front, f1anking beautiful entrance.
The building is flanked with pavilions
at each corner with strikingly handsome
roofs and dormers. All of the en-
frances are shrinking studies, and are
approached by splendid flights of giant
steps. The first, or ground story is col
ored, as if intended TO be built of red
granite, and the superstIlcture as if to
be OF some warm. buff stone. The
roofs are colored warm red color .indi-
eating tile roof, the effect of which IS
excellent. The exterior walls are in
tended to be in broken range, rock-faee
work. except the upper portions of the
towers, which are to be bushhammered
work. All the columns and window
trimmings are to be cut and rubbed
smooth. r

FORGOT TO HANG HIMSELF.
One Life Saved by the Sight of a
Lonely and Lamenting Sparrow.

One Life Saved by the Sight of a
Lonely and Lamenting Sparrow.
Among the early inhabitants of Buck
field was one Granville Maxim, man
of marked ability but of very eccentric
habits. He early manifested an ardent
love of music and for that day was said
to have acquired very thorough knowl-
edge of its principles. He was an
eminent composer and author of many
of the most popular melodies of that
day, which are now known as continent
tails and by long and continued use have
become so firmly established in the
hearts of not only the people of the
state, but throughout this Union, as to
render their authors name almost a
household word, says the Lewiston, Me-
journal.
In early life. as tradition tells us, he
met with serious disappointment in
love. Tired of life and disguised with
the world, he one morning took stout
rope and wandered into the deep forest
between the Owls Head and Streaked
Mountain with the fixed purpose of put
ting an end to his existence. He con-
tinued his way till he came to a deserted
logging camp, where he sat down to
rest and think the matter over. On the
old howell sat lone sparrow uttering
her lament at the disturbing of her
nest by some ruthless marauder. He
sat for long time listening to the
plaintive song of the bereaved bird. At
last he thought to leave some memento
which might chance to meet the eyes of
his lady love, and in some measure re-
mind her of his Sufferings.
Going to a birch tree he removed
piece of bark, on which he wrote the
following lines:
AS OH some lonely building top,
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of Joy and hope,
III sit and grieve alone.
He then commenced to write plain
tive melody of most exquisite sweetness
in the minor scale, justly BETTING the
language. When he had finished this
he had become so interested in his work
he began to affiX the other parts, and
his whole mind and energies seemed
wrapped up in the work before him.
Evening had begun to cast its shad-
ows over the valley ere his task was
completed. When the whole was adj
justed to his liking, his lively magma
ton, to his infinite delight, pictured the
glorious harmony which must arise
when performed by his competent choir.
His love of life returned and his idea of
suicide vanished. Throwing his rope
into the adjacent bushes, he fastened
hOmeward and became very popular
and useful man.

BILL NYE'S VIEW OF LIFE.

His Opinion of Literary Habits,
Health, Food and a Variety of
Topics.
Finding these vital questions in my
mail yesterday. with no postage incloSed
to prepay terse reply, l take the lib
erty of holding the following animated
conversation with myself, writes Bill
Nye in the New York World.
l. What do you think of the present
method of administering capital punish
meht?
?. Will electricity be an Improvement
on hanging?
8. What do you think of the custom of
allowing criminals to make speech on
the scaffold?
4. Do you believe that cremation will
take the place of the present method of
burial?
5. What are you literary habits?
L. The present method of execution is
not great success. We have now so
many styles of death by accident which
excel hanging in the matter of rapidity
that it is strange we do not Introduce
" -.
2. Electricity would be popular and
su cceSsful style of execution if once in
trOduced. In the old days of barbarism,
when offenders were put in the ring and
required to fight One-thOusand-pOund
lion with tin sword, the public re-
quired the sight of blood in order to be
entirely convinced that the law had been
properly enforced. Then no one felt
perfectly satisfied with the execution
unless ringtail tiger from Bengal
gnawed large holes in the defendant,
| exposing his methods of digestion.
3. Now we have reached to that point
when we are satisfied TO read the speech
of deceased. Some day we will get where
we will not even crave that. Too many
people are now committing capital crimes
for the purpose of getting into the pa
perS. Some day the gentleman who kills
his parents because they will not pass
the mOlaSSeS will not be permitted to
make speech on the gallOws, but he
will step into little room off the Jail.
sit down in S75 Scarlet-pluSh chair, and
while he is reading the morning paper
the governor will touch small collar
button in his Office, which connects by
wire with the plush chair, and a brief
autopsy is all that will be necessary.

seems to demand dying speeches. long

The Dimple Maker.

What won't some girls do for the sake of
what they consider beautys One spirited
maiden rushed in on us not long ago with
the breathleSs query, "What do you sup
pose I'm going to do?n Not wishing to spec
ulate on uncertainties, we remarked that
we didn't know, and the following conver-
sation ensued:
"Well, I'll tell you. I'm just going to
have a dimple. I've always wanted one
and now mean to have it. You just wait
till you see me with ravishing dimple in
my left cheek! Don't you think twill be be-
comingp
But how in the world"
"Never mind how-but, yes, | guess I'll
tell you, if you'll promise not to tell till 'tis
done. Papa'd just kill me; he thinks I'm
about as lovely as they make 'em now. But
dimple, and as l wasn't, Pm going to see
about it myself"
Eyes, but what"
"Wait till tell you. I've just discovered
little way down the avenue a doctor who
makes dimpes, and this is the way he does
it. He just cuts into the skin and takes out
little piece of flesh, leaving a hole big
cough for dimple. See! Then he dresses
it and it heals naturally, without any
trouble: and there you have the loveliest
dimple! S'pose | won't know how to act at
first, but won't it be lots of finn The only
thing is, it cost.so fearfully-S25, $780, maybe
$50"
We labored in vain to persuade her that
twas not only foolish but extravagant, but
she would have none of our advice AS it
turned out the dimple proved better than
our fears, though not eqlaling the young
lady's ambition.
However, we read, on what seems good
authority, that the dimple trade has been,
and is, in many places very successful.

he STOLE SILVER BRICKS.
An Assayer and His Pretty Wife in
the Bird geport Jail.
From the Ne,o York Times

From the Ne,o York Times.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Nov. 16.-Miles A.
French has been refiner and assayer for the
Bridgeport Copper Company for two years
Last night he and his pretty wife, who was
formerly ballet dancer in Boston, were
arrested by Pinkerton detectives. Mr.. and
Mrs French were about to board an ex-
press train far Boston when arrested, and
in their handbags were found seven silver
bricks. At police headquarters another sill
yer brick was found inside Mrs. French's
sealskin sacque, the total value Of the eight
bricks being $4,000.
1t has been French'S duty at the copper
company's works to extract the silver from
copper ore, and also extract silver from
the Stag. The company owns large mines
in Montana, and carloads of ore are arr1v-
ing constantly at the works here. Last
winter French became infatuated with
Nellie Davis, ballet dancer. He made
frequent visits from here to Boston, and
last spring he married her. He furnished a
house ut the West End in sumptuous fash
ion He gave wine dinners to his friends
and spent money so freely that the officers
of the copper company began to suspect
that his salary although large, was
not sufficient to defray all his expenses
The company also discovered that
Ul9 percentage VI SllNtT tAOItCCSu llOlll CHo
copper ore was not as large as it should be,
and Pinkerton detectives were placed upon
the job. 1t was found that silver bricks in
considerable quantities had been sold in
Boston, Providence and New York 1t was
also discovered from Mrs. French that her
husband had told her before he married
her that she must not be too inquisitlve
about his business. He explained to her
that his services were so very valuable to
the copper company that silver bricks we're
sold to him at a large discount
Nellie Davis readily believed him, and,
supposing him to be very wealthy, married
him. The silver bricks continued to pour
in from the copper company, although
French labored at assaying only four hours
daily. Mrs. French, in order to please her
husband, went to Boston and New York at
short intervals and sold the bricks, Despite
the fact that she is a very pretty blonde,
with large, innocent eyes, and that she wore
a gown of silk and sealskin sacque, she
passed last night in cell. The husband,
not vet 80 years old, was in an adjoining
cell. He is a pale-faced man with black
mustache.
The Pinkerton detectives are at the
Atlantic house, and refuse to talk about the
case. further than to state that they are not
through with it yet. Capt. Pinkerman OF
the Bridgeport police says that the detect
ives are after the fences" in Boston,
Providence and New York, and will make
other arrests. Mr.. Matthews, treasurer of
the copper company, was in consultation
with the Pinkerton men this afternoon,
with a view to recover some of the stolen
silver, which is estimated to be worth at
least $50, 600.

had set up rival establishment and was

informed his visitor that man who ginned

marked.
"Well, Gabe, don't like to change from
YOU, but will have to go where l can do
the best for myself"
"Bring your cotton on" remarked Mr.;
Watson, "and will gin it for you and call
