Saint Tammany's Day.

Tammany, powerful chief of one of
the Delaware tribes of Indians, was noted
among both the red men and the white
nations for his many virtues, notably his
uniform friendship to the whites, there
fore the Improved Order of Red Men
recognize him as the patron saint of the
order, and celebrate St. Tammany's Day,
May 18th, by assembling in their various
wigwams and holding appropriate exer-
cises, intending thereby to perpetuate
the memory of this once great chief.
This year the tribes in Portland and i'm
mediate vicinity have made preparations
to celebrate Tammany Day in very APP
pirate and highly creditable manner. The
committee representing Machigonne,
Cogawesco, Tobam, Pequawket, Masco-
nomo and Rockamucook tribes have hired
City Hall and extended cordial invita-
ton to every tribe of Improved Red Men
in the state to witness the exemplifica-
ton of the beautiful work of the order.
The four degrees will be conferred by
four crack degree teams. Other appro-
PIRATE exercises have been arranged by
the committee which will be thoroughly
appreciated by members of the order.
This order, which was introduced here
only afew years ago, is prospecting finely
and has by various exemplifcations of
it's benevolent and fraternal. principles
won an enviable position in the hearts of
all. During the last fall and winter the
tribes in Portland and, in fact, all over
the state, have been kept very busy adopt
ing pale-faces and comforting degrees,
and now the tribes here are receiving a
number of applications from pale-faces
who are anxious to enter the bonds of
Redmanship in City Hall on the 18th of
May.

Changes I'm Yale,s Crew.

Bob Cook coached the Yale crew a few
days last week and suggested placing San
ford, the big centre rusher of last years
foot ball team, at No. 6, instead OF Paine.
johnson, Sheffield freshman, who was
training in his class crew, was taken out
OF the freshman boat and placed in the
varsity shell, instead of Derby Rogers.
Both these changes were surprises to
boating men in general. Paine, as mem
Der OF last years crew, and generally
considered a good oarsman, was, by
every one, thought to be sure of
q place in the boat this year. Rogers
has been hard and faithful worker and
rows in very good form, the only thing
against him being that he is rather light
and hardly strong enough for varsity
crew. Johnson, who has been put in his
place, weighs 1853, while Rogers only tips
the beam at Isl. Sanford is new man,
and his ability as an athlete rests princi-
pally on his foot ball record. He has
picked up the principles of rowing very
rapidly, but no one has thought that he
would be able to displace Paine. Both
men weigh the same and are good deal
alike in the general build, but Sanford
has more "snap" than Paine, who is a
little inclined to be slow.

yanderbilt's Marble Palace.
(Frank Leslie's WeekJv.l

1&olth LccilO NCChty.t
Marble hall has been built entirely by
days work by the very best mechanics
and artisans to be found in this country
and Europe, and is now being decorated
by the best talent of America and France
and will, before ready for occupancy,
some six months hence, have cost over
one and half millions of dollars. The
building stands in the midst of spacious
grounds on Bellevue avenue, in Newport.
and is fianked on either side by the New
port residences of William Waldorf Astor
and John Jacob Astor. In style of ar
chitecture it is classical with renais-
sance embellishments. The front toward
Bellevue avenue is graced with an i'm
mense .Corinthian portico. The house
was designed by the architect who de-
signed the administration building for
the Columbian exposition, and has been
now some three years in course of con-
struction. 1t is built entirely of the pur-
est white Rutland marble from Vermont
and Caen stone brought from Caen in
France. 1t is elnbellished with the rich
est carvings and tracery that can be
wrought by the hands of skillful sculp-
tors.
Ever since Marble hall was begun at
the very foundations the greatest secrecy
in all the operations has been observed.
Watchmen have been employed who.
with huge St Bernard dogs as compan-
ions, patrol the grounds day and night.
and every unauthorized person who sue
ceeds in passing the gates is promptly
elected. So strict are the arrangements
that the decorators employed to dec
crate one room are taken away from tile
building as soon as their work is done
and replaced by other men, who decorate
the next room. While at work the men
are not allowed to enter any other room
where others are working, for fear a de-
tailed description of the decorations in
the various rooms will become public.
AS soon as the decorators in one room
are finished that room is locked and not
opened again. From what can be cleaned
however, the interior is one magnificent
production of Mexican onyx and Numid-
ian marble carvings, plastic and painted
decorations of the most gorgeous de-
scription.
1t is interesting to an American work
man to see who is doing the work in this
new palace of the Vanderbilts, All of
the decorative work is being executed by
Frenchmen-the real imported article at
that. When the men leave their work at
night every man, artist, mechanic or
laborer is searched to see that he carries
away no written description of the place
with him, and every one who has the
temerity to make pencil and paper notes
about anything is at once approached by
Waterman and his work carefully
scrutlnlzed. No stranger is allowed to
pass the gates, and SO strict is this 1nIe
that early in February Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt tried to gain adj
mittance, but signally failed and were
obliged to go away, although the gate
keeper knew them perfectly well.
1t has been found impossible to obtain
the dimensions of the building, as the
architect is pledged to secrecy and will
give no information of any kind. Tho

and those of William K. Vanderbilt did
when he thought he could erect the cost

residence in America in absolute secrecy
from the general public. While MI.
