to treat her lord to his satisfaction. and

For two or three years eminent
architects have claimed that the de-
tinitive type Of commercial architect
ure had been found in what is known
as the Chicago system," namely,
a rigid framework of steel forming
the pillars, floor joists, and partitions,
supporting the roof and upholding
the structure without aid from the
exterior walls, which are a mere
veneer of brick, stone, or terra Gotta.
Now, however, comes Gen. Sooy
Smith, himself an engineer OF the
highest scientific attainments, and
declares that the steel or iron frame
work must be discarded and solid
stone pillars substituted II absolute
safety against fire is sought. 1t is
evident that the adoption OF Gen.
Smiths suggestion would greatly de-
crease the available area in build
ing, as the size Of the columns neces'
sary to support given weight will
be greater in stone than il they are
made od metal. And as Owners seek
the maximum amount of income
producing space it is likely that the
Chicago system" will be adhered tt
despite this scientific criticism Of it:

BUSINESS methods have at last
been applied to the work Of raising
money for the Grant monument In
New York. Had this been done
seven years ago the monument would
now be finished, and a pride to New
York instead Of disgrace. That
city gave as freely to. the fund for
the relief of Johnstown as any other
in the country. There was method
in the management Of that fund.
There we're committees to solicit sub
scriptions from all departments OF
trade. and a large amount of money
was raised in a very short time. The
same method is to be applied to the
Grant monument subscription, and,
if it be thorough, the different COM
mittees ought to raise the money
necessary to complete the monument
in Q few weeks.

KredQc was sentenced to long term OF
imprisonment.
Reid Oakburn died Of consumption,
from which he had long suffered while
he was held q prisoner awaiting the ac-
ton Of the Denver authorities.
Judith Kredge was obliged to return
the money which she had extorted from
Marion. and she left New York.
Pratt and Weeks also disappeared.
OF course Stuart Hsrland's innocence
was proclaimed, and soon after he and
Edna Garrison were married.
Marion entirely recovered and within
q year she became the beloved wife OF
him whom we have known as Richard
Stanmore.
Jason Garrison was once more pros.
porous, thanks to StanmOre's assistance,
but he never forgot the terrible lesson
taught him by the brigands Of Wall
street, and to Sanborn's heirs he paid
tho amount of the forged check.
Paxton declared that he would fnd
the money stolen by Kredge, and at last,
after encOuntering many per1ls, he sue
ceeded in accomplishing his purpose,
and Marion's fortune was restored to
her.

that few weeks since he paid the o. 8.

that he now owned q half section clear

The Scand alOus wretches.

The Puritan fathers, who settled
in America, were greatly addicted to
smoking; indeed, the practice became
so common that even these strait
laced observers Of time and seasons
actually smoked in church. This
custom soon caused very considerable
annoyance, as the religious exercises
were greatly disturbed by the clink-
ing of steels and flints and the clouds
of smoke in church.
