Colonel He Bs SPraEue mehtlOne0 1Of
 she Senate from North Dakota.
 The newspapers in different parts of the country, notably in St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul, have noticed with warm approval the suggestion that Colonel H. B. Sprague, graduate of Yale college of the class of 1852 and we'll remembered in New Haven, was likely to be elected ss one of the United States senators from North Dakota. He ia president of the university of this new State and if chosen as it's representative he will confer a lasting honor on the State which chooses him and will be recognized as one of the most industrious, learned, conscientious and useful members of the senate. We heartily approve the suggestion made. The new State must be singularly fortunate if it has within its borders @ single individual so we'll fitted for the position as is Colonel Sprague. He is honored most of all here where he has been longest and most thor ouQhly known.

"rHE R0XBURY,s,, FINE FLATS.
The Elegant New Building Which Mr. Murlburt Is Just Finishing at Chapel mmA KTfUh grPeeRa.

In0 6xe&3nB NeVW W HIGH EA1s
 Murlburt Is Just Finishing at Chapel
 and High Streets.
 Some of the finest flats in the city are un- occasionally those which MT. S. H. Hurlburt is just completing at Chapel and High streets and intends to name "The Roxbury." In building these the greatest care and attention has been given to every detail that could pes sibly besutify and make more commodious this fine structure, and one has only to take a look at the airy rooms which command a pleasant view of the Art school corner of the Yale campus to fully agree with MT. Hurl- burt when he says that his flats are provided with everything that can afford the most ex- tended conception of modern convenience, comfort and accommodation.
 As you enter the two heavily-carved doors on Chapel street 8 brightly tiled vestibule and wide stairway meet the eye. On the cious and prettily decorated hall finished in hard woods and furnished with much taste. On either side of this hallway is a flat. The one on the left, overlooking High street and facing Chapel street, contains two rooms large and finely finished in hard wood bright chandeliers, fire glass, tasteful mantles, and the like, and the one on the right contains six rooms, finished in like manner. The front parlors of both flats are provided with a wide bay window and are as light and pleasant as any one could wish. The hn- ishings of both are of sycamore. Steam heat adds to the comfort of each room. The front parlors are made with open grates and other conveniences which are 80 mu eh appreciated by lovers of home pleasures. Besides the two psrlors, which are connec- ted by many folding doors, is dining room, bed chambers, kitchen provided with set refrigerator set washtubs, set range and sets of other things convenient and handy. Each flat is divided by hall and the bath rooms, closets and other small adjoining rooms are of the latest mode and provided with all that can make them useful. On each of the floors are two flats after nearly the same model. The halls are wide and will be covered by Brussels carpets at MT. Hurl- burt's expense. He will also provide jan itor for the building. Each fiat has electric bells and speaking tubes connecting with the front door below, which can be opened by pressing an electric button.
 "The Roxbury" is the name which Hr. Hurlburt has given to his new building, for he says that the granite of which 1t is con- structed came from that place, which is also his native town.
 The architect, MT. R. B. Russell, has ar. ranged a very convenient rear entrance to the Hats also and the mason, 0. O. Kinney, the joiner, J. A. Church and painter Serena Gilbert all have done their part in admirable style. The new building with its elegant stores on the ground floor is indeed fine sd dition to the part of the city in which it stands.
