A News PAPER PALACE.
The Unique New Structure Butt for the
New York Herald.


New York Herald.
In the evolution Of business architec-
ture i'll New York city the s~kyscraper
is no longer as conspicuous as it was a
few years ago. When the average build
ing was of three or four stories the Sor 10
story structure was monumental. When
the average had increased to eight or ten
stories, low buildings looked queer, but
as skyscrapers became the rule instead
of the exception they met the fate that
familiarity breeds, and the old fash
Toned S-story structure began to excite
positive admiration. This admiration
was not shared in by real estate oper-
ators. They could not fail to view with
horror anything SO wasteful of possibili-
ties in the way of rent, and something
like a panic seized them when the New
York Herald announced it's intention to
erect a building covering an entire city
block, to be devoted solely to its own
business and only 3-stories high.

MINNEsoTA's MONUMENT.
Governor Nelson Will Dedicate tn.
Gettysburg Statue July q.

Governor Nelson Will Dedicate the
Gettysburg Starue July 2.
WINoNA, May %. Captain Matt
Maruin has returned from Gettysburg,
where, in behalf of the First Minnesota
regiment, he superintended the placing
OF the foundation for the monument
commemorative of the noole work of that
regiment on the field, which win be
dedicated on July 2 by Gov. Nelson and
staff. The large monument consists of
a pedestal 35 feet tall and 16x1S feet
across. On the sides of this are bronze
tablets giving the history of the regi-
ment, together with an emblematic
battle scene in bronze. The pedestal is
surmounted by a bronze statue . feet
high, representing a soldier rushing
into conflict. The monument is located
on Hancock avenue, midway between
Bloody Angle and Little Round Top.
The little monument or marker is
located between High Water Mark and
Bloody Angle, and has on it an inscrip-
ton referring to the main monu-
ment. The charge made by the First
Minnesota on the spot where the figure
OF the advancing soldier in bronze now
stands is one of historic interest, as the
loss OF men during the time of the en-
gagement was greater in proportion to
the number of men in the regiment
than In any battle ever fought of which
a record has been kept.

Champion jump Of seventy Feet.

Long jumping must be something
worth looking at when the winning jump
is some 70feet long. That lis the sort Of
thing they have in Norway, as news from
Christiania tells us. The champion jump
er at the great annual meeting at Stock.
holm made q record by covering 20 feet,
and the other competitors all managed to
come between A and SO. This is certain.
ly more exciting than our champion jump
OF 20 feet and a few inches. The Nor.
wegians, 1t Is true, do not jump as we do.
The jump run Is down a hill 200 feet
high, In the middle Of which a spring
board is set six feet above the ground,
and it sfrom this that the Jump Is taken.
But aided or not that 10 feet flight
through space Is q portentous feat. The
Norwegian women, too, tuck up thei,
skirts and 90 at it. Truly sight for the
sons Of the vikings.-St. James Gazette

~HIGHBINDER A
Believed Another Outbreak at San
Francisco will Occur.

Will Occur. -
New York, May ga Sun special
from San Francisco, says:
The Chinese are under an unusually
heavy guard. There have been fears OF
on outbreak among the highbinders
ever since the decision upholding the
Geary law was announced. but nothing
happened to justify them until Sunday
morning when the body Of a Chinese
named All Foo was found i'm the bay at
the foot of Jackson street. Had been
shot in the abdomen and stabbed In the
back by highbinders for refusing to pay
them tribute. In his terror he ran 10 a
water front and jumped off a wharf.
At 8 a. M. Edward Hughes, a white
man, was set upon by a crowd of thugs.
His skull was fractured by a blow with
a cloth covered bar of iron. and one ear
was nearly sliced off. His assailants
escaped and their victim is in a re-
ceiving hospital. For several months
the lawless Chinese have been kept i'm a
state of terror by vigorous action on
the part of the police. but it seems now
they are desperate, believing that they
will soon be deported, as the officials
have announced their intention
to enforce the law against this
class first. For the last two
days Matchmaking has been car
ried on boldly in spite of police vigi-
lance. The authorities do not fear n
attacks on white people, nor are the
respectable Chinese likely to engage in
unlawful proceedings, but highbinders
are focking in from the country towns
n they must have money, so the old
blackmailing tactics are employed. 1t
is believed that another highlander war
will be begun in a day or two.

Two Things without Patents.

The floating dock and the typewriter
are among the many important inven.
tons that were hit upon by men who
have made no attempt to patent their
ideas. A photographer conceived the
idea of the floating dock before the de-
vice was perfected and put to practical
use, and a naval officer thought out a
practical typewriter, but was persuaded
by friends to abandon his invention as a
thing that nobody could be induced to
use.-New York Sun.

FRONT OF TIE NEW HERALD BUILDING

Nor were real estate men the only ones
to question the wisdom of The Herald's
course. The site selected, at the inter-
section of Broadway and Sixth avenue,
between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth
streets, is so far from the traditional
Newspaper row" that it was predicted
The Herald's business would be serious
ly injured. This worried other people
more than it did the proprietor of The
Herald, however. and the building was
erected IN accordance with the original
plans. In n few days it will be ready
for occupancy, and tho paper will move
in. Ii the business continues to be prof
liable, of which there is a possibility, it
will probably be continued there for a
few years to come, or until enough peo-
pie become satisfied with the building
and location to convince The Herald
that it ought to go somewhere else.
The new building has been admirably
planned for the work of getting out
a newspaper, and if that were the
sole object Of it's erection it would be
entirely suitable. But the great %curiosi-
ty Of the general public has been taken
into account, and means have been pro-
vided by which those mechanical depart
ments that usually attract most atten-
ton can be freely inspected without III
any way interfering with their work.
The arcade that surrounds the building
will serve the purpose Of an observation
gallery, and from it the interior of the
press, stereotyping and engire ooms
IA be seen without tie necessity of GO
ing inside the bui.di ..
