BEAUTIFUL LAMPS AND PEDESTALS.

The most artistic lamps and pedcstals shown this
a combination of fine marbles and metal
work. They are modelled after pure classic, or
after the styles of IL. H. Richardson, who united a
bold Romanesque style with the fine details OF the
Byzantine WORK and who is credited by his brother
architects with having formed a style OF his own
as distinctive as that of Robert Adams. The silver
banquet lamps In Richards0nian style are especially
beautiful tall lamp in this style that might
have formed part Of the furniture of an old venetian
palace is OF rose-motled Verona marble, mounted in
ormolu. The bowl Of the lamp is dug out OF an
amphora- shaped vase OF the marble which is set in
ormolu and mounted slender shaft of marble.
Another beautiful lamp in Empire style Is of the
pale yellow marble from Sienna and is mounted in
old brass chased with classic figures in trlumpha
procession Of the Empire decorations during
the time Of Napoleon
A beautiful pedestal in black and gold marble IS
mounted in pale matormOlu, deadened IN color so
as TO be the exact hue OF the mounting on old Empire
furniture. Pedestals of pink Numldian marble arc
i'm the form of square Corinthian column with a
base of metal and marble and capital of dead gold
ormolu surmountcd by top slab of the finest marble

Tbe first snow Of the season reminds artist friend
~ a snowstorm which he experienced at Avign0n, In
Nc south of France year or two ago. No snow had

.o amusing sight II was to them try 10 make

ydIed the snow as daintily does cat. when she
Iifts her paws one by one in surprised manner and

hmerIcsn artists found great delight In making
balls and engaging in the fray, and they soon put the

bower OF an especially hard SNOWFALL. They. were
shown that this was not true, but they could not
missiles so hard or throw them with such force and
accuracy The villagers Of Avignon Will no doubt
long remember their Waterloo at the hands Of the two
American artists.

lost 81 ,7O1,12s cash To-day's bank statement
of averages for the week reports a gain of

ing week This reflects the better condition of
the banks at the close of business Friday, Decem-
ber 13. than the reported average for that week.
and indicates that the interior movement of money
other than through the Treasury was in favor of
this city. The gain, however, partly due to
the practical return of money which six weeks
ago was withdrawn and locked up for speculative
purposes. The loans were expanded S2,45j, 400.
Ghe increase of S2,7557OO in deposits is 81 ,2OO,-
900 smaller than the other changes call for partly
due to last weeks reduction of Government de-
posits and partly to the return of withheld certi
fled checks. The statement results in a gain Of

MR. HOLMAN REBUKED BY MIR. MlLLs

Washington Dec. 21.-The Hose treated to a
spicy little discussion this morning between Mr..
Holman, of Indiana, and Mr.. Mills of Texas. The
discussion precpitated by a statement from Mr..
Carlisle TO the effect that in Offering the resolution
Yesterday for the appointment of 1. II. Hill as
assistant doorkeeper he had fixed the salary at 81 900
relieving that that was the salary which had always
been received by the other special employee Mr. Clancy
lie had learned that this was mistake and that
Mr. Clancys salary had been $1,5O0. He therefore
moved 10 reconsider the vote by which the resolution
was adopted in order that the House might determine
whether it would reduce Mr.. Hills salary to $1,000
or increase Mr. Clancy's salary TO $1,000 The vote
having been reconsidered, Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana,
moved to reduce Nj. Hilfs salary to $1,000 and he
urged the necessity Of preserving economy IN the eX
pendture of public money.
Mr. Mills said that that the same old speech he
had been listening to for the last sixteen years Every
session the House treated TO lecture OH economy
which TO be applied 10 the officers OF the House
and the smaller officers of the Government But when
IL TO applying economy TO the expenditure
OF hundreds of thousands millions of dollars, tle
eloquence of the gentlemen lost to the county.
Mr.. Holman defended himself briefly. His molten
agreed to-96 to 70-and the resolution, rs
amended, was adopted.
