statue, which it is intended to represent,
is wholly dependent upon the perfection
of the moulds. This material will cover
all the buildings, othat the visitor will
see before him enormous structures with
Doric, Corinthian and Ionic columns, pre-
senting the best results of classic art as
adapted to modern uses in building, each
one of which is as large as almost any
half dozen of the most famous ones of
antiquity. The impression will be that
they are constructed of Pentelican mar
BILE, as this is the finish which this ma-
terial best takes. A very good example
of what can be done is already visible in
the Women's Building. This is Il sort of
Greek temple, with fiat roof and stat
ues all around the cornice of the roof.
The frieze all around is very elaborately
carved, and the whole exterior exceed
ingly rich in the sculptured designs. The
plan is from the pencil of "a young lady
in Boston, whose design was accepted
from among several competitors. The

ed in the best possible structure, design

ceived the most ardent praise and the
most enthusiastic admiration among the
architects who have been for weeks in
Chicago experimenting their own work.
1t is impossible to spend few hours
on the grounds without approaching the
fact that the Fair is a great national ex-
hibition and its projectors are building it
upon national lines. No city and no State
could afford the expenditure or venture
upon works of such magnitude. One
million dollars a month is being paid out
right along in this work. The $l0,000,-
900 subscribed by the State and by the
citizens of Chicago is about exhausted.
1t will require $4,000 more to COM
plete the buildings and grounds, and pos
sibly 100000. After studying the mat
ter very carefully, | came to the conclus-
ion that the whole country had as much
at stake in the success of the exposition
as Chicago; that Chicago had done
everything which could be asked of the
locality where the Fair was put, and that

Secretary Tracy is very proud of her for
''she can fight, she can destroy and she
can rum" With her high grade defen-
sive and offensive qualities and great
speed, the New Y ork when complete will
be the superior of any other vessel in the
United States navy. The building of her
was authorized by Congress in 1888, with
an appropriation for an armored cruiser
to cost not more than S3,500,000. Her
displacement was fixed in the act at 900
tons, but that was increased afterward to
$3.50 tons. Work on the contract was be-
gun in June, 1890, by William Cramp &
Sons. The length of the New York is
$50 feet and 6 LIP inches; breadth of
beam, 81 feet; mean draught, % feet and
3 ID inches. Her highest speed is To be
20 knots an hour. With 1900 tons of coal
in her bunkers and stored on deck, she
will be able to steam Il, 900 miles.

Among the bills which have
been Introduced ia the Senate is
one for repeating the Twelve
O'clock Law" This bill should
pass and the law closing saloons
at midnigh t or at any other hour
after granting the proprietors
license to sell liquors and cigars is
wrong, and the more you try to
bride men and pass laws that say
that men shall not visit a saloon
after midnight, the more men Of
any spirit will rebel. 1t is only
the weak knee per- o Is, those
that have not the courage to say
no, that the law will in any way
benefit, and we question whether
the State has the right to be the
guardian Of such individuals. IL
they have let q bill be enacted ap-
pointing special police to watch
over and take care OF such weak
minded psrsons.-Silper State.

SOHE INSIDE FACTS.

1t is rumored in Carson that
the saloon-keeI ers have raised a
corruption fund to spend in the
repeal of the y o'clock closing
law. The temperance people in
the land should be up and doing.
Gazette.
We are sorry to see so intelli-
gent paper as the Gazette i'm
posed upon in this way
The II O'Clock closing law, which
has been heralded over the coun-
try as a temperance move, was
instigated by a certain class of
saloon keepers and its repeal is
being fought to-day by the same
class. To be more explicit there
are two classes OF saloon men
one class want the law repealed
and the other want it to remain
in force Those who want it re-
pealed are those whose buildings
are 50 situated that they are oblig-
ed to close at midnight. and those
whose saloons are built with a
rear and private entrance, or an
alley and who have small card
rooms handy to this entrance want
- ~ ,on,oio met 1,-I,a,.a IL /. orl
these are the men who are prepar
ed to spend money to keep the
Bill on the Statute books.
The saloon-keepers who have
no back rooms and no secret en-
frances to their buildings are
obliged to close at midnight, and
after that the saloons with the
secret entrances and back rooms
gather in a business of the most
lucrative character until morning
The front of the saloon is closed
and the building, to a casual OBJ
server, seems dead to the world,
but the rear rooms are filled with
men who are gambling and drink
ing and happy in the idea that
things are so fixed, that not a ray
of light can struggle out in the
night and that no officer of the
law can ever disturb them.
In Carson City the APPEAL could
name the saloons which are con-
Quoted on this plan but does not
propose to do SO as it is not the
business Of paper to play the
role of an infOrmer.
The saloon-keepers who obey
the law either because of the way
their conSciences or their buildings
are constructed, could also give
this information to the authorities
but will not for the same reason
already stated and so the game
goes On, the observer of the law
struggling to pay county licenses
and the violaters of the law month
ly swelling their bank account.
Thus it happens that men who
were not in the habit of staying
out late before this law went into
effect are captured by the idea of
the secret pleasures of a closely
curtained room and Illicit whiskey.
and the result is that in this city
more whiskey and more gambling
is in vogue than ever, If the cause
OF temperance is advanced by this
law we fail to see where or how.
There is one of two things to do.
either enforce this law to its full
limit and if it cannot be enforced
repeal it. As the law now stands
the temperance question cuts no
figure whatever. and when a sa-
loon-k keeper is seen talking to
member and saying: This law
suits me as it enables me to get
home early you can generally
assume that the law suits him a
good deal more than he cares to
admit.
