action of the Supreme Council United
Order of Railway Employees yester-
day. The course pursued by the

Wonderful Peculiarly in Eyes
 From the St. Louis Republic.l


 If still living, Miss Nancy Taylor of Grant township, Taylor county, Ia., is possessed of one of the most remarkable pair of eyes ever heard of this side of the realms of wonderland. Her curious opti- cal defect has been known to her parents ever since she was small child, and to the people of that portion of Taylor coun- ty since the child first started to school, but her fame on account of the freakish characteristics of her eyes did not spread beyond the limits of the state until about 1877, when Miss Nancy had reached the mature age of ten years.
 Persons with but 8 smattering of optics know that oculists have theory that everything we see is seen in it's inverted order; daily association from the cradle up being all that makes such objects ap pear in regular order, the impression con veyed to the brain by the optic nerve showing objects standing just the reverse to the way our ''seeing sense' teaches us they are In this lies the Taylor girls re- markable optical deformity. When she reads book or paper she does so by hold ing it inverted before her eye. While rela- tives standing few feet away appear all right to her, the paper or book must be turned upside down before word can be read

when needed. The galleries rest on iron beams. Under the galleries, separated from the nave by partitions, partly wood and partly glass, on the north side is the reading room for periodicals and reference books; on the south side, the reading room for newspapers. The middle portion of the building is for books. The front part is the delivery department, where the pub lie receive and return books and consult catalogues. In the space behind the delivery desk are the bookcases. As the library grows the rear rooms on the first and second floors can be utilized for book storage. The capacity for this purpose may be stated in round figures as 4,SO0 square feet, capable of holding 100000 volumes. As it will be years before the upper rear room will be required for books, it has been planned to fit it up as 8 lecture room. The room for nnerly used as @ pastors study, in the southeast corner, has been devoted to the purposes of directors room, >suiting the purpose admirably. Hard wood floors are laid throughout the entire building except in the front vestibules, which are tiled.

ATWO Story Brick Tenement on Mea-
 dow Street to be Torn Down.
 The large two-story brick tenement house, which formerly stood at 204 Mea- dow street and was removed seventy five feet to the rear in order to make room for the new building of Price, Lee & company, has been declared unsafe by the fire marshal and will be immediately torn down. The walls of the structure were ascertained to be eight inches out of plumb and MT. Charles H. Webb, who is the agent of the owner, Mrs. Elizabeth s. Peck, was consequently notified to tear down the building so as to remove the danger of it's falling, or to cut off section of the building about two feet in width to see whether the rest of the building would settle. The chance of effecting a remedy by the latter method seemed so remote that the owner of the house decided to tear down the two upper stories of the building, leaving the bakery in the base ment untouched, and rooms for storage about six feet high on the floor over the basement.
 The bakery is occupied by John s. Gil bert, the tenement on the first floor by John Malone and the second floor by Charles Anderson and family. The Ma lone family have already vacated the premises and the Andersons will follow suit immediately. By the tearing down of the two upper floors the danger of the building collapsing will be removed and Mir. Gilbert will not be obliged to vacate the premises.
