THE PUBLIC BUILDING.


building bill passed this session. Dele
gate Game is working very actively on
the measure, and if his efforts are not
crowned with success, no one can posi-
bly, lay any of the blame at his door.
Yesterday, the Senate committee on
public buildings and grounds reported
favorably the bill providing for the
erection of the building at ealt Lake
City and appropriating therefor the
sum of $125 600. A strenuous effort vii
be made to push the bill through q:
rapidly as possible and all the prob
abilities are decidedly in its favor
FLORAL DECORATIONS.
One of the notable features OF fora
decoration at the Capital can now he
seen every day, resting calmly on the
left lapel of nearly every Democratic
members coat. It is "Cleveland" red
rose, and it is now the badge which all
loyal Democrats are supposed to wear.
Curious eyes noticed, however, that
neither Mr.. r lndaII nor Mr.. Sowden
were so decora ed. Sunset" Cox put
one in Mr.. McAdoo's buttonhoie. and
it remained there for quite while, brt
when he returned to the House after
being absent for few minutes, the
brilliant bud was gone.
BISHOP NEWMAN.
Local Method sm is very much
pleased with Rev. John P. Newmsn's
elevation to q bishopric, and to night
he will be gwen a reception that will
outshine anything of the kind ever
before seen in church circles. The
reverend gentleman has always been a
great favorite here, the congregation
of Metropolitan Church almost idolizing
him. With an eloquencs that has be-
come more smooth with age he has at
tracted enormous congregations to the
great Methodist Cathedral at the Ma
TONS capital and now tthe west will
hear him for he is to have his official
residence in Omahs.
A good story is told of DR.. Earl
Cranstor, one Of the most formidable
candidates who ran for the position
which DR.. Newman secured. The mar
ration was by Gen. Marion, who was,
during the early part of the war,
colonel of an Ohio regiment in which
Cranston was captain. One bright
morning, while the regiment was prepar-
ing to go into action the young captain
rushed to the colonel's tent and IN
almost breathlesS haste asked to be ex-
cussd immei iately; his sole desire was
to go home at once. The colonel said
it was simply impossible for him to
grant leave of absence to an officer when
the regiment was right in the face Of the
enemy. Cranston seemed to be very
much troubled at the decision and
made an eloquent appeal for fourteen
days furlough, bit it would have been
without avail had not the colonel's
wife, with whom Cranston was a favor
tie, defined the reason that prompted
the request. AS she stepped forward to
entice, Cranston said:
"Colonel, I've really got to go. I've
Just received letter from home. and in
she samc town is a girl that / think
more of than I do of anything,
everything else in the world. While
L am here at the front, there's
another fellow at home who is
cutting me out and 1 want to go home,
marry the girl, and come back to the
regiment"
The colonel could not resist an ap-
peal of that kind, particularly, when it
was seconded by his wife. so half an
hour later saw Captain Cranston on
horseback, making for the nearest rail-
road station at top gait. He married
thegirI and returned to bis regiment, sur
vived the war, and was mustered out a.
its close. Then his better half urged
him to study theology, and that took
him into the ministry.
Funny if nv boy Cranston should
become q bishop was the generals re-
mark as he concluded.
But Crenston failed to get there.
MISTAKE.
It is not often that Congressman is
mistaken for q minister, but once in a /
while even such an egregrious error as
that will occur. While the Baptist con-
ference was in session here week ago. |
representative Archie Bliss, who is
about as far removed from ministerial
instincts as any politician can be, was
walking in the neighborhood of the Cal
vary Baptist church, where the sessions
were being held. He was accosted by
an elderly gentleman, who had just left
the church, with:
Brother, will you please, if you can,
direct me to the Riggs House?"
Mr.. Bliss said he would go with him
to that hosiery, and the two-saint and
out g street together,
talking as they walked of the best
means of attracting the youth
of the land to The Sabbath schools.
When they arrived at the hotel the
minister shook hands heartily with the
Congressman, and said: 1--WE IL take an
other little walk tomorrow evening
brother. il we find ssch other in theI
church, The good old man failed TO
see Archie on the next evening because |
