4 HONEY HOUSE.

a suitable building for a ~beekeeper to
work in need be nothing more than a
simple, plain structure, cheaply made
and about twelve feet square. A range
1f closed closets around two sides will
BE convenient for keeping utensils and
Ill materials used in the business. There
will be ample room left for extracting,
putting sections together, and making
hives, or packing honey for shipment
and sale. It is indispensable for ever a
small apiary to have a special building
for these purposes. As 1t costs only a
little more to put a second story in it,
It would be advisable to do this for use
as a storage for materials always
needed in a bee business. It might also
be desirable to have a good cellar under
it for keeping the hives with the bees
during the winter, instead of leaving
than out of doors and unprotected. -

i Novel Plan For a New City Hall.

"A. il. Beach, one of New York's WELL
known architects, proposes q novel and
ingenious plan for. a new municipal
building in City Hail Park which IS to
preserve the old historic City Hall BY
placing it on the top of the structure. The
edifce, according to Mr.. Beach's design.
is to be a freproof building of fifteen
stories and occupying . ground space OF
200 by $50 feet. The height of the
main building is to be 200 feet; inclnd-
ing the Odd City Hall 260 feet, and in
Guiding the cupola 3I4 feet. He would
ralse the old City Hall to its proposed
commanding altitude on an iron floor by
means of jacks. The new hall would
contain. in addition to twelve court
rooms. a reception hall, Mayors apart
ments and the Aldermen's Council
chamber. between 300 and 400 rooms
for the Departments Of Law, Finance,
Taxes. Public Works and Records,
Offices for the Sheriff, County Clerk.
Register, Surrogate, Chamberlain ans
vafious other municipal bnreas. The
architecture conforms IN general outline
with that Of the present City Hall. the
estimated cost DC this remarkable aifalr
is SO. 900, 900. Dir. Beach has prepared
i preliminary sketch Of his design. Jne

to be of more harm than good in their

During the months of January and

A STRIKE PROBABLE.
Printers Object to apprentices al
the West COMPANY.

Printers Object to apprentices at
the West Company.
A strike at the West Publishing es-
tablishment tomorrow morning seems
almost inevitable. The trouble grows
out of claim made by union printers
that too many apprentices are employed.
A rule of the typographical union re-
strictS the number of apprentices to one
for each five jOurneymen printers. 1t
is claimed by the union that the West
Publishing company employs a
much larger proportion of ap-
prentices. Since the introduction of
new machinery into the establish
ment the journeymen have been de-
creased in number and the apprentices
have taken their places on the cases.
Last Monday the executive committee
of the typographical union had con-
ference with the cOmpany's represent
atives, which was extended, but result
ed unsatisfactory to the union. The
union notified the company that meet
ing would be held today. at which meas
ures would be discussed in the light of
a prospective strike by all union print
ers. The company gave the delegation
no further satisfaction than to say that
Its reply and ultimatum would be en-
braced in letter to be laid before the
union at its meeting today. 1t
was stated by certain union printers
last evening that unless concessions are
made by the company at today's meet
ing the sixty-five union printers will
not go to work tomorrow morning. A
gentleman familiar with the situation
at the West Publishing company, but
who is neither an employe nor interest
ed in the firm, said yesterday:
1.-The company is very exacting as to its
employees. The printers themselves probably
made mistake when they demanded that
the company should furnish perfect copy,
written by typewriter, fully punctuated and
properly capitalized Such copy is abso.
lutely correct 1t would therefore destroy
the value of q knowledge of printing, and
make il possible for mere apprentice to do
composition as correctly as printer. The
company took advantage of the situation. and
is dispensing with the services of an exces-
sive number of printers"
The representatives of the company
were not disposed to discuss the sltua-
ton to any great extent yesterday. Its
side of the case is to the effect that a
difference sprung up when the union
fined foreman for reporting one Of the
men for falSifying a time check. The
company notified the union that such
action was detrimental to its interest
and outside of the province of the
union.
The request made of the union to re-
consider its action in regard to the fine
was not needed, and the letter was filed
without action. Prior to this the COM
pany was disposed to make some con-
cessions in the matter of apprentices,
but since the union disregarded the let
ter relative to the fine. matters were al
lowed to drift along until the present
status has been reached. The company
declined to announce it's course in the
premises anterior to the meeting to be
held by the union today.
