PUSH AND PROGRESS
Greater Building Activity than
a Year Ago.
THE STATE ROAD TAKES A LEAD
The Wicks Row Rings Up the Curtain and
Displays the Fine French Plate
Glass

Tne frost is not out of the ground aud
yet the builders are busy as bees, and there
is an activity in laying brick that was not
known at this time last year.
The popularity of brick foundations is
everywhere apparent, and unless reaction
sets In the stone men will be left in the cold
while the brickyards will have to keep
their presses going night and day and their
fires hot to meet the increased demand. The
quarrymen are much to blame, as there was
scarcely a time last summer when they
were up with their orders Had they
pushed their work as energetically as the
brick men, aud not only kept up the de-
mand, but laid up stock for the winter and
spring, the number of brick foundations
would have been greatly decreased.

Cost of Senatorial Funerals

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Tbe setting
forth of the Hearst funeral procession has
started food of gossip about the cost Of
senatorial funerals. Representative Oates,
of Alabama, says the Hearst funeral cor
tege now on its way to California, will cost
not less than $4,000. Nine Senators and
eight Representatives were appointed on
the part of their respective houses as an es-
cort of honor. The wives of some of these
gentlemen accompanied them, as well as
two employees of the Senate 1t was sent
out the day before the train left that Mrs.
Hearst had set her foot down Gu so large a
party going, and that sooner than have
the melancholy obsequies made mere ex-
cuse for iunket at the government ex-
pense, she would pay the cost of the train
herself and shut out the junketers, but she
does not seem to have been successful.
