A GREAT STRUCTURE,
A Tour Of the Great Newspaper Build
ing, Which the Pioneer Press
Occupies.
The New Home Of the Northwestern
Newspaper Union.

St. Paul has the most magnifcent news
paper building in the world Such state
ment Is criterion of the progress of the
West. That the journals of old capitals
and commercial centers are surpassed in
their abodes by newspaper of the Occident
tells at once of both the vast resources of
the country and the enterprise of her peop pie.
The building is great building among the
buildings OF the country. Chaste and simple
IN design, gigantic in pr oportions and ele-
CANT IN execution, it wou Id, as an example
OF architecture and an embodiment of
improvements, be a proud addition to the
buildings OF any city in the world, but as
/ the home of newspaper, as the representa-
i've OF the latters solidity, growth add enter
prise, 1T is pre-emlnent among structures of
ITS class. 1T was not builded in a day.
Like all great structures reared to watch
the years pass by for coming centuries. if
has been builded with incest care. In the
early part of 1888 the work of tearing
away the old stone building which was for
years occupied by long established com
mission house, was commenced, and
since then the work has never entirely
ceased. The removal of the gray tenant O f
by-gone years was but the preliminary work
in preparing for the erection of it's stately
successor. To prevent Mother Earth from
yielding beneath the immense burden to be
pie'0ou UPON Hei, ooO pies were driven deep
into the ground, where the bed rock was
tringed by yielding clay. These were sawed
OF some distance below the surface, and I'D
on their tops were placed layer of heavy
concrete, varying from six to ten feet in
thickness. Again upon this was laid course
OF footing stone. That the work was right
" begun has been thoroughly proved, for the
building, with it's weight OF thirteen stories
OF brick, stone and iron, has settled in all
the months since it was capped by the cor
nice but minute fraction of an inch. This
was the work of nearly half year. and vet
not one stone had been laid upon another in
the erection of the walls.

The Iron Cage.

For Louis XII of F'rance-whom
Sir Walter Scott and Mr.. Henry Irv-
ing have made so familiar to the
English public-the iron cage had a
great attraction, and he seems to
have equipped with it nearly every
one of his state prisons. When the
Duo de Nemours, previous to his
trial, was transferred to the Bastile,
hewas pnt in a cage of iron; and the
king, learning that some indulgence
had been shown to so illustrious a
prisoner, wrote in the most uncom-
promising terms to the Sire de Saint
Pierre, one of the commissaries APP
pointed to try the unfortunate
prince. He was not pleased, he said,
to learn that the letters had been
removed from the dukes limbs, that
he had been allowed to leave his
cage, and that he had attended mass
when women were present. And he
charged him to take care that the
prince never left his cage, except to
be put to the question-that is, to
be tortured-and that this should
take place in his own apartment.
Other important personages in the
reign of Louis made acquaintance
with these iron cages of his; among
Others, William of Harancourt, Bis
hop of Verdun, and the Cardinal de
la Balue. According to an eminent
French antiquary, each cage was
about nine feetlong, eight feet broad
aud seven feet high, and consisted of
a ponderous frame work of timber,
strengthened by solid iron clasps and
fenced in with stout iron bars, weigh
ing altogether a couple of hundred
pounds, and costing about 367 livres,
at the then value of money. Philippe
de Commines, the historian, makes
some characteristic comments upon
King Louis XII and his cages,
'It is quite true" he says, "that
the king our master ordered the con-
struction of some rigorous prisons
cages of iron and Of wood, covered
with plates Of iron outwardly andin
ternally, and with terrible iron bars,
each about eight feet wide and
about the height OF man, or one
foot more. The man who designed
them was the Bishop of Verdun,
and in the very first that was made
he was incontinently immured,
and lay therein for fourteen years.
Many of us since have poured
our curses upon him, and I for
one, having had an eight months
test of this kind of captivity. For
merly, too, the king caused the Ger
mans to make for him some heavy
and terrible letters to Gasten upon
prisoners feet, and an iron ring to
clasp around the ankle, with a
solid chain attached, and a great
iron ball at the end of the chain.
these instruments of torture were
known as les fllettes du roy or
the kings maidens' These, never
theless, / have seen on the feet of
many prisoners OF rank, who have
since risen into honor and great
Joy and have received many
favors from the king ALI the

mustard is the great national con-
dIment. An Englishman will never
eat beef, bacon, ham or steak with

mutton with it, An English tramp
to whom you gave an unseasoned
sandwich would stop and ask you
for mustard before he commenced to
deyour it. With Americans it is
different. They never take mustard

M. DE QUARTERBACK, the leading
French ethnologist, in personating
the second part of his Introduction
to the Study Of the Human Races
to the Academy of Sciences, has Civ
en- interesting summary of his gen
eral conclusions with regard to the
origin and distribution OF mankind.
Neglecting the minor differences, he
estimates that there are no fewer
than ~ distinct races in the human
species. All these descend or branch
off from three fundamental types
the black, the yellow and the white
which have their origin at the great
central mass of Mort hern Asia, which
is the cradle of mankind. Repre-
sentatiyes of these different types
and the races which sprung from
them are still to be found there.

The Long Lost Bender Family.

Deputy Sheriff Dick of La Bette county,
Kan, passed through Sedalia Mo-, en- route
to Parsons, Kan, with the two female pris-
oners who are thought to be the notorious
Mrs Bender and Kate Bender. Mr. Dick
was living in La Bette county at the time of
tn Bender murders and knew the Bender
family WELL He says there is no doubt he
has the right parties. The narrative oftheir
arrest at Miles, Mich, as related by him. dis
closes one of the neatest pieces of detective
work ever perpetrated by a woman. The ar
rest was at the instance of Mrs.
Albert Mccain of Mcpherson, Kansas.
If these parties are convicted
she will get $40, OOO But it was not money
she was after. She worked for revenge. Her
father, John W. Sanford, was murdered by
the Benders at Windsor, Canada They fed
to this country and located on the farm in
Kansas, where they kept their CAVERN" and
did their deadly work. When the Benders
murdered Mr.. Sanford, Mrs. McCann was but
four years old: When she grew up and mar
ried She settled in Mcpherson, Kan. Some
years ago dissolute woman came there with
her husband and was taken sick at her house.
She belieAcd she was dying, and, learning
who Mrs. McConn was on her
supposed deathbed the woman confessed
to Mrs. Mccain that she helped kill
her father in Canada when Mrs. Mccain was
child. While Mccain was looking up the
particulars Of her fathers death the sick
woman recovered and suddenly disappeared
one night with her husband 1t was several
years before Mrs. McCann got clew to the
whereabouts of the woman. but she finally
located her at Nipes, Mich Mrs Mccain
went there last April. When she had her
plans perfected she notified the Kansas
officers and presented proofs satisfactory to
them that the women we're the long lost
Benders, and a requisltion was sent for them.
Such IS the story of Mrs. McCann, who
caused the arrest of these supposed Benders.
