THE NEW BUILDINGS.
Work Generally Suspended by tho
HEAVY Rain.

Work Generally Suspended by tho
Heavy Rain.
Work in the building line was almost
entirely suspended last week on account
of the rain. There also seems to be a
general cessation in the preparation of
plans for new houses. Whether it prove to
be a temporary lull or general suspen-
sion Of operations for the winter remains
TO be seen. 1t seems, however. more
likely to be the former, and it is probable
that the approach of winter with the ad-
vantage of cheaper labor and material
may induce many to build who have not
yet fully determined to do SO.
Twenty-six permits were issued from
the Office of the building inspector during
the week. the total estimated cost of the
work being $3.50. One was for S. 900, one
the others from $500 down.
To the $3.50 represented by the permits
may be added 5000 for a retaining wall
around H. L. Yesier's residence property.
The wall will be Of Chuckanut stone with
granite steps. Work has already been
commenced at clearing away the clay for
the foundation.
4. II. Calligan is erecting very pretty
two-story frame residence at the corner of
Matches and Cascade streets. The founda-
ton and basement will be of brick and the
inside will be very nicely finished. The
building will cost about $500, including
the fixing up of the grounds.
The Woodland Park Company is build
ing nice $3.50 frame cottage at Wood
land park. 1t is one story high, after a
neat design. and will be well finished in
side.
j. II. Bone has taken out a permit to
build a one-and-a-half-story frame cottage
on Mansion street, near Lake View GEM
etery. The building is to cost about 81, 100.
c. p. Stone Is building a two-story frame
residence at the corner of Kilbourne ave-
nue. and Berkshire street. 1t will be plain
but comfortable and will cost ST. 600.

set down as certainty that if it shall
be apparent before the balloting that
Cleveland will have within fifty votes of
enough to nominate him the opposition
will go to pieces, and there will virtually
be no contest. The chances are that
the States vet to hold conventions will
do better by the fat free trader than
those already heard from. Cleveland is
pretty sure of the four delegations to be
chosen in New England. He will get
Missouri, most of Ohio, and, in all prob
ability, the entire vote of New Jersey,
Maryland, and California. The South
is more doubtful, but most of the
strength of the opposition seems TO be
centered in South Carolina, Georgia.
and Kentucky, and it looks as if Grover
would have the nearly solid support of
Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia. Florida, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, and North Carolina.
Altogether, it is very clear that the
ponderous ex-President, who lost his
own State in 1888 and was subjected to
the modification of seeing its delegation
instructed to vote for the nomination of
another man, will be put forward once
moreto serve as the dispiriting and de-
feat burdened leader of his party. Re-
publicans can regard the prospect with
entire complacency.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
THE WIND OF MARCH.

THE WIND OF MARCH.
John G.. Whittier in The Independent.
Up from the sea the wild north wind is blowing
Under the skys gray arch;
Smiling, / watch the shaking elm bOughs knowing
1t is the wind of March.
The stormy farewell of passing season
Leaving, however rude
Or sad in painful recollection, reason
For reyerent gratitude.
Welcome to weary hearts its harsh forey arning
OF light and warmth to come,
The longed-for joy of Natures Easter morning,
The earth arisen in blOOmi
In the loud tumult winters strength is breaking
l listen to the sound,
As to a voice of resurrection. waking
To life the dead, cold ground.
Between these gusts. to the soft lapse hearken
OF rivulets on their way;
l see these tossed and naked treetops darken
With the fresh leaves of May.
This roar of storm. this sky so gray and lowering
Invite the airs of Spring,
warmer sunshine over fields of Towering.
The bluebird's song and wing.
Closely behind, the Gulf s warm breezes follow
This northern hurricane,
And, borne thereon, the bobolink and swallow
Shall visit US gain.
And in green woodpaths, in the kine-fed pasture,
And by the whispering rills,
Shall flowers repeat the lesson of the Master,
Taught on His Syrian hills.
Blow, then, wild wind thy roar shall end in singing
Thy chill in blossoming;
Come, like Bethesdas troubling angel, bringing
The healing wings.

A Wise Young Woman.

Young Adolphus FitZwilliam, he loved fair maid,
But to ask her to marry him he was afraid,
Because of catarrh, which she had very bad.
So much so that often the youth was quite glad
To omit, at the parting the kiss of the lover.
The reason of this she set out to discover.
"Catarrh makes me loathsome. It's fatal 10 love.
o, darling Adolphus, by all that's above,
vow I'll not lose thee if something there is
To drive out catarrh and to sweeten kiss
So this wise young woman began
searching for cure, and good luck at
tended her. She found DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy, at the drug store, and
felt convinced that preparation which
the proprietors had such confidence in
that they were willing to offer to pay
$500 for case they can not cure, must
be worth trying. She bought it. She
tried it. 1t cured her. And when
Adolphus kissed her at the altar last
week, her kiss was as sweet and as pure
as roses in June. Girls, a word of ad-
vice: If you want a lover to stay a
lover, you must get rid of catarrh. Do
as this sensible girl did, and get the only
sure remedy for this disgusting and
dangerous disease-Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.

THE MAGNETIC POLE.

New York Press.
The American Geographical Society,
the National Academy Of Sciences at
Washington, members of the United
States Coast Survey and many scientific
men are interested in the proposed ex-
pedition of Colonel w. 81. Glider for the
discovery of the exact location of the
earth's magnetic pole. The real mag
netic pole is the liberty pole of America,
but the location of the magnetic pole
for which Colonel Glider proposes to
look will be benefit to the world of
terrestrial physics if he is successful in
his enterprise. The mission is therefore
to be commended, especially as the
distinguished explorer, who first won
fame in the Artic regions by his associa
ton with Lieutenant Schwatka, in Sc
curing information about the Franklin
expedition, has agreed 'to fly the Stars
and Stripes on it" if discovered.

HOW BIG WILL IT BE?


Toledo Blade.
That Ohio Republicans are in line for
a victory this fall, goes without gu stion.
The question is not "will there be ma
jority," but How big will it be?" The
people to settle it are the Republicans
themselves 1892 marks the close of an
era of the nations life. 1t will be full
of the thunder of celebrations of the
discovery of America by Christopher
Columbus. The people who pause and
think, that Progress has been King in
all these years, will the most readily
draw conclusions as to the why the
United States has become what it is
Why shouldn't it have remained like
India, wheat and rice and poppy
growing nation, her people vassals, her
homes owned by Great Britain? Why
shouldn't she be like Australia, without
manufacturers, stock-raising nation
of one pursuit and one aim?
The American system of protection,
the fostering of enterprises otherwise
than purely agricultural, the premium
the tariff barrier has put on brains and
skilled labor-all those have aided to an
extent impossible to estimate. The Re-
publican party has always been the
friend of these measures; its patriotism
did not end with the grand review at
Washington, but has kept right on.
Ohio, great in all these diversified in
dustries, will stay true to her friends.
That is why there can be no fear of
failure this fall. But going to sleep will
not do it. To slumber with an enemy
wide awake and vigilant would mean
defeat. There ought to be no let-up in
club work, no end to the efforts put
forth for victory, and Ohio ought to
lead even Pennsylvf mia in the November
election of this year.

with this list, the lawyer called on the
suspected man and introduced himself
as collector from the West. He had
heard of the gentleman as bibliophile
of authority and wished to consult him
about some books which had been offer
ed him before he concluded upon their
purchase CT rejection.
"What were tie books?" his host
asked.
He ran off the titles of several of the
stolen volumes.
"Nonsense!" said his host. Nobody
can sell you them. own the only copies
in the country"
Next day the lawyer wrote letter
which resulted in the restoration, of the
spoil to its rightful owner. How many
rare books belonging to other collectors
remain in the collection-for it has nev-
er been sold, for obvious reasons
one can say At anyrate, when this
learned bibliophile visited other biblio-
philes thereafter they kept their book
cases locked and showed him what he
wanted to see volume by volume, max
ing sure to get one back before they
passed another to him. They recogniz-
ed his perilous mania as an incurable
weakness; and while they tolerated him
on account of mis- erudition, they did so
as one accepts necessary evil.
THE GOLD TOURISTS LEAVE IN ITALY.
London News.
How does Italy, a country without
gold mines, find the gold to pay ten mil
lions year due to foreign holders of
her funds, not to speak of the heavy bal
ance against her on her foreign trade?
Mr.. Dering, Secretary to the British
Embassy in Rome, declares that the
only solution of the question at which
it is logically possible to arrive is that
this amount of gold is annually brought
into the country by foreign travellers,
who swarm during the four seasons OF
the year in one part of Italy or the other.
From calculations made by the United
States consular representatives, in va
rious parts of the country, it has been
computed that for the last ten years the
average annual expenditure in Italy of
American citizens has been about seven
millions sterling. Mr.. Dering thinks
it would scarcely be an exaggeration to
place the collective expenditure of Brit
ish, French, Austrian, German and 9th
ers foreign travellers at double this
amount. This, we are reminded, is If
respective of the money spent in the
country by the fifty to sixty thousand
pilgrims who annually visit the Eternal
City, and of the amount of which they
are the bearers in the shape of dona-
tions to the Holy See.
