The dining room is about so feet long
by 80 feet wide. It is finished in South
American mahogany, and the furniture is
of the same wood. The walls from your
feet to above your head are paneled in the
richest Of mahogany, which has polish
equal to that of the finest pianos. The
ceiling is made up Of panels framed in
great mahogany rafters, and the panels are
of rough stucco covered with gold leaf.
Window seats run around the end of the
dining room, sitting upon which you can
look over the Mississippi. There is a
great sideboard of mahogany II feet long
filled with the finest of china and cut
glass. In two corners of the room are
glass-covered cupboards filed with beauti-
full glassware, and on the sldeboard and
other places about the room are pieces Of
the finest Of all kinds Of china, not few
being Of Sevres and Royal Dresden The
butler was with me while ! stood in the
room. and he told me the cost Of furnish
ing it was over $4,000. The dining
table is of carved mahogany, and is Of i'm
mense size. In fact, all the furniture in
this house is fully from one-third to twice
a. large as that you find in ordinary
houses. Mrs. Hill told me that when she
came into the house she was surprised at
the immense size of the rooms, and she was
in despair as to how she could make them
look smaller and more homelike. She did
so BY having the furniture made in pro-
portion, and the result is that the whole
house has homelike character and every

IT seems from the latest report from
Hawaii that all is quiet and peaceful,
where 1t had been feared war and riot
might have occurred within the time of
departure OF the last two steamers
bringing the news from that place. 1t
would seem also that the criticism of
the instructions. which it was alleged
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham had given to Minister Willis,
were too premature. Thus far the action
of the minister has been directly contrary
to what the newspaper reporter had
anticipated 1t would be, and they cannot
but feel chagrined over their false proph-
ecy of what those instructions were. AS
thus far the relations are sll amicable
it is generally believed that no disturb
ance will follow. President Cleveland
has again vindicated himslf.

CASHIER MAYS DISMISSAL.
None OF the Bank of England Directors
Involved in the Scandal.

LONDON, Nov. 1s.-The Economist
says in an article concerning rumors of
irregularities In the Bank of England:
The resignation of Mr.. May, chief
cashier, was brought about owing to tho
character of certain transactions in
securities with one or more trust COM
panies which he sane toned. In regard
to these transactions, we understand
that something graver than mere
fault of Judgment was connected.
Mr.. May, it would appear, not only ex-
ceeded his authority, but also acted in
manner which he must have known
was contrary to the POPULATIONS by
which the bank is governed. For that
offense he suffered.
ut would now be ungeuerous to d well
upon the matter, and after all the ques.
ton is whether the bank knowingly lent
support to the companies whose
financial methods proved to be
of such very dubious nature.
That is the gravamen of the imper.
fectly formulated charges which one
hears. 1t is satisfactory, therefore,
to be able to say that as far as we can
ascertain, such rumors are unfounded
AS regards the responsibility of the di.
rectors. we believe that no greater re-
sponsibility attaches to the individual
than to the whole board. Therefore We
may Law aside the rumors of impending

WILL TIE BUILDINGS REmA1Nq

Those who were among the fortunate
to visit the Worlds Fair during it's
reign of glory will be pleased to learn
that movement is on foot in Chicago,
engineered by G. w. Caryl, OF Phila.
delphia, for maintaining the buildings
n their present location and condition,
with view to the Inauguration of an
other exposition next year.
The idea is to leave the buildings in
tact and open them to the public again
in May or June, with such exhibits as
can be retained for that purpose and
such others as may be secured in the
meantime. Director of Works Burnham
estimates that it would cost about
Sl,500,O00 to care for the property,
$4,000, 600 to run the Fair for another
six months and ST., OOO 900 to close 1t, or
total outlay of SIS, 100000. He counts
on receipts from visitors of sis, 900, coo
and a clear profit Of $4,000, 900.
The Illinois State commissioners are
unanimously in favor of the scheme,
and the executive committee of the
board of direct tors of the fair have
adopted resolution asking that the
buildings be allowed to stand for an
indefinite period. But thus far the
South park commissioners appear to be
stubbornly opposed to the project, and
are insisting upon immediate reposses.
sion OF the park in order that the work
of its improvement may be proceeded
with, and this, OF course, would necessi.
tate the early destruction or removal of
the great structures by which it is now
occupied.
The question is still in allegiance, with
the chances apparently against any re-
opening of the fair. Itseems like vandal.
ism to iemolish the buildings, not only
because of their architectural beauty,
but because of the memorable associs
lions with which they are identified,
but unless some pressing popular de.
mand should arise for their preservation
they are likely to go, though some of
them may be reconstructed in other
portions of the city. 1t is doubtful If
the great expectations entertained by
Mr.. Burnham OF another expositio
next summer would be realized unless
means can be devised for exhibiting
good deal moro than the mere she'll of
the fair.
