ing the first things that meet the eye are
two booths occupying the places of the big
desks that were used by the public in the
corridor in the postoffice days. They are
fancifully made and covered with yellow
and white Yeddo cloth, one being devoted
to the sale of lemonade and the other to
candy, while lower down in what was the
corridor, near the door of the Superinten-
dent of Mails department, is a cigar booth
of orange and red. The rest OF the main
hall will be used as dining room, with
supply tables and kitchen in the rear
Strong Appeals to EeJicate Appetites.
There are really three dining. rooms, all
connected, communicating by arched door
ways, and containing 16 long tables, which
will seat hundreds of people at time.
When the tables are all set they will pre-

of aids, will seek to make her table worthy
of the company in which it finds ITSELF
Flowers will be plentiful on the tables, and
the beautiful chrysanthemum Will do duty
again as it has in the past, no floral decora-
tions being perfect without the aid of this
favorite blossom. There are six supply
tables. on which will be heaped food and
utensils for the tables. There will be a num-
Der of ladies in charge OF these supply
tables, and the arrangements are such that
things will be handed away from the supply
tables as fast rs they are needed, thus pre-
venting any exasperating waits TOR hungry

kitchen has number of ranges and other
kitchen appliances. so that the ladies will
have everything ut hand that they may need
in their work.
The room at the lower end of the build
ing, next to City Hall. which was used as
the money order department, and later by
the customs authorities, has been turned
in to a regular greenhouse. 1t looks like
bit of forest transplanted in the heart of
the city. The walls are lined with pine
branches and twigs, with autumn leaves in
matted confusion, while the ceiling is SINH
larly decorated. At each end of the room
is hardwood mantel, with mirror above,
which reflects the bea uties of an almost end
less perspective.
Dainty Temple for Flora
Almost in the center of the room is q large
circular booth, twined and intertwined with
pine. moses and many-colored autumn
leaves. The floor, TO carry out the forest
idea, is covered with tanbark, up which is
loosely strewn q carpet of autumn leaves
The windows are hung with dainty white
lace curtains. This is the flower and fruit
room, and these essentials of a bazaar will
be dispensed by pretty young girls, each OF
whom mig hit stand for Flora herself
The second floor of the building has been
the subject of u great deal of attention and
artistic labor. The handiwork of the ladies
is seen as soon as one reaches the top of the

POLICE OUTWITTED.

They Visit a Speak Easy, but the Proprie-
tors Are in Hiding-when tho Police
Leave, the Law-Breakers Make Their
Escape.
Seven small boys residing in the vicinity
of Sheridan avenue and Rodman street dis
covered speak-easy in their neighborhood
yesterday afternoon. They at once reported
the matter to sub Officer Wilson. The lat
ter anxious to make an arrest which would
bring him in the line of promotion, lost no
time in reporting the circumstances known
to his sergeant
The Sergeant instructed him to visit the
place Immediately and take another ofncer
with him. Policeman Quinn was the one
selected to aid in raiding the unlicensed sa-
loon. After dodging through unfreQuented
streets and making mysterious surveys
from various corners, the two patrolmen
finally reached a suspicious looking one
story frame house in the rear OF No. 6O2l
Rodman street. There were no windows in
the front of the building, and it was COM
paratively easy matter for the officers to ap-
proach the place unobserved.
Securing good position in close proxfm-
ity to the alleged speak-easy the two
officers alternately applied their ears to u
convenient looking knot hole in the side of
the building apparently in order to secure
sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest.
The evidence was not forthcoming, and
after wasting several more minutes in try
ing to find someone connected with the es-
adjustment they entered the house, No.
6O2I Rodman street. Here they had no bet
ter luck, the proprietors OF the speak-easy
having suddenly disappeared. The police
men were finally obliged to return to the
station house empty handed.
Hardly had they turned neighborlng cor
ner when the head OF q colored man was
poked cautiously ont of a small window In
the loft of a stable close by. After carefully
viewing the surroundings the head was
withdrawn and the owner disappeared from
sight. few minutes afterward three COL
ored mon made their appearance at the door
of the stable. Under the arms of two of the
men were bundles from which the necks of
several bottles protruded. Making sure that
they were not observed the trio carefully
made their way to an alley in the rear OF the
sta bile and disanneared from view.

Mrs. Berger Buried.

Mrs. Henry L. Berger was buried in the
Homewood Cemetery yesterday. Rev. j. C..
Rishel preached the funeral sermon in tho
Mt Olivette Church, and was followed by
Colonel W. D. Moore, lifelong friend of
family, in an eloquent tribute to her worth
and works. Ladies of the G. A. K. Daugh-

Honor were in attendance. The rites of tho

PUSHING THE ROADS

The Ground to Be Filled in and Graded
Around the Conservatory.
Colonel Culyer will begin this morning to
make arrangements to fill in and grade the
ground around the conservatory ut the en-
trance of Schenley Park. He says consid-
erable work will have to be done to make
the conservatory fit in with the surround
ings. At best, a greenhouse 400 feet long
can't be diversified very much. The build
ing, however is located so that people
moving on the various roads will get diff
ferent views as they approach it.
The Colonel's aim is to have the drives
completed as soon as possible to make all
parts of the park accessible. He regrets
that there are not a few banks of sand or
gravel in the neighborhood to be used on
the roads.
