Europe as Seen by a Tramp"

From the interest which is manifest
ed generally, and among local Wheel
men in particular, in regard to the lee
ture to be delivered Monday evening at
the Wesley NJ. E Church, by M. Irwin
Dunlap, it looks like the editice will be
tested to its capacity. Mr.. Dunlap is q
young man of pleasing address, and his
descriptive story of his bicycle trip
over the old world and Of life among
the people is said to be intensely inter-
esting. The press comments favorably
upon the lecture and lecturer every
where they have appeared before an
audience. Wheeimen, especially, are
interested in the story of his travels.

No Action Taken.

The committee of the United Presby-
torian church, appointed at recent
congregational meeting to select CO.
pastor for the church, met last evening.
The situation was discussed in a thor
ough manner, but owing to the uncer-
tainty as TO whether certain ministers
would accept a call If extended to them,
and the general absence OF any tangible
information relative to the matter under
consideration, it was found necessary to
Dostpone action until some future time.

Wartime shinpIasters just Redeemed.

During w&r times the municipality OF
Albany issued on its own credit fraction.
al currency redeemable ON demand at the
city treasurer's or chamberlain's Office.
Most of the fiat money was redeemed
within the five years subsequent to the
end of the war, and during the seventies
the chamberlain would be called upon tG
change few coins. 1t was believed that
all had been taken up.
Yesterday, however, Chamberlain Hills
was visited by two young ladies who
showed him quantity of the currency
issued in 1862 and asked him what it was
worth. To the chamberlain's questions
as to how it had come into their posses.
sion the elder replied that in looking
over the effects of relative lately de.
ceased it was found stored away in an
old box along with many war curios.
Mr.. Hills promptly handed over the
counter in good bills the face value of
the money, between $25 and $50.
A singular coincidence connected with
the transaction was that Chamberlain
Hills himself paid out the currency re-
deemed yesterday to the original owner
over 30 years ago.-Albany Journal.

Worlds Fair Box Parties.

Nearly every train that goes out of this
city for Chicago has several "box par
ties" on board. These are entirely diff.
ferent from the box parties at theaters,
but have been christened by the train
hands with the same name. They are
little groups of people bent on taking an
economical glimpse of the great exposi.
ton, and who, in order to cut down their
expenses to the lowest notch, have had
packed at home boxes of luncheon of suf,
ficient magnitude to last during the trip,
AT each meal hour the members of the
box parties draw these boxes from under
the seat or sit in groups with their
luncheon OH their knees and chat as con.
tentedly as if they were at gorgeously
appointed hotel. Sometimes an exchange
is effected of boiled egg for tomato OF
a bit of fruit for some ham, and the fell
low who has had the forethought to bring
few bottles of beer is a prime favorire
with the other passengers.-Philadelphia

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Documents of the First Fourteen Con-
crosses Found In the Senate Basement.
The former assistant librarian of the
senate, Mr.. E. T. Cressey, has made
most important discovery among the 40
600 volumes, supposed to be useless,
which have been accommodating for years
in the basement of the senate wing of
the capitol. After a search of months
he has found 70 volumes, hitherto sup
posed not to be in existence, which COM
prise the senate documents of the first IS
congresses and the house documents of
the first nine. The Congressional library,
the Boston public library and the British
museum are all without these, and the
addition of them to the senate library
makes it the most valuable in the world
for references of the proceedings, debates
and documents of congress.
Almost from the adoption of the con.
stitution all documents of the senate
and the house have been set aside in
small numbers for the secretary of the
senate. These We're kept in bad order,
if kept at all, and were scattered in vari.
Gus places. Just after the war, how.
ever, they were all collected into the
senate library, which occupies mum.
Der of almost impenetrable recesses in
the upper part of the senate wing and
also an equal number of still more diff.
cult hooks and corners in the basement
near the heating machinery. This last
was dry and safe place, but hardly any
body ever ventured within its doors.
The 10000 volumes accumulated there
were all supposed to be extra ones. Mr..
Cressey's discovery shows that they con.
tain perhaps the richest single treasure
in the country.
The volumes are in a good state of
preservation, although they and many
others stacked in this UNEMPLOYED retreat
show traces of the worms. Many of the
backs indeed are entirely gone, but the
pages are intact, and the senate library
may now boast. that it has for reference
complete documents of the senate and
the house, Gll except those of the senate
of the Second congress.
A few of the 10 volumes are bound in
manuscript, Just as they came from the
authors, and some of them, as it is be.
lieved, have never been printed. Dur
ing the first IA congresses none of the
documents was numbered, nor was their
character indicated by marks. Thus
each must carefully be examined to as.
certain whether it is an executive or a
miscellaneous document or a COMMITTEES
report.

immigration Diverted to Canada.

The rigid inquiries now instituted al
the ports of the United States to keep
undesirable immigrants out of the coun.
try are likely to divert immigration inc
Canada, where it is welcomed, and the
minister of the interior is already re.
joicing in the prospect of increased pop.
ulation. What is chiefly interesting tG
an outside observer is that countries
which do not generally export their citi-
zens are now beginning to do so. France,
for instance, is contributing settlers, not
toQuebec, which is already fully stocked,
but to the northwest territories, and
Dutchmen are beginning to flow inc
Manitoba. 1t is less satisfactory to find
that Cinnamon continue to pass over into
British Columbia, though eventually
they are certain to be swamped there

BARGE OF sr.Tr.

In the center of the building is the
enormous hall, 1875 feet 10 inches long
by $50 feet wide, free from columns,
and covered by roof formed by great
steel trusses, which rise to height of
80 feet above the floor. This space is
lighted by clearstory windows and by
the skylight area of the roof covering.
Around this hall, inclosing 1t on every
side, is the exterior building, over 200
feet wide. This consists of middle
nave, 107 feet 8 inches wide and 115 feet
high, with an aisle on each side. The
aisle next the main hall is 90. feet 5
inches wide, and the aisle on the outer
side of the building 46 feet wide. Each
aisle has gallery floor, 25 feet above
the main hoor The proportion OF sky
iightto roof is so per cent, and it is in
tended in this, and in all the main
buildings, to put curtains under the
skylghts 50 as to screen the interior
from the sun during very hot weather.
Ventilation is provided for by louvres in
the sides of the clearstory roof.
Last, but far from least, and perhaps
most wonderful in the way of architec-
tural success, are the acoustics, which
are claimed to be SO good that every per-
son in the hall win be able to hear the
orators. The total cost of the building
sput at 81 100000. OF the wonders Of
the roof of tensile steel and glass and
the great supporting trusses there is not
space to treat. Such is the wonderful
building in which the dedication cere-
monies are to be held.
One million men could stand on the
floor space with ease, and 100000 could
be seated. The Roman Coliseum when
crowded held but $4,000. Under the
roof 1000 cottages. % by so feet each,
could be placed, and the area equals
that of four average city blocks. There
are 1000, 900 feet Of lumber in the floor,
and five carloads Of nails were used Ill
fastening it down. In the entire struc-
ture are 100000 feet of lumber, IT,
100000 pounds of steel and 100000
pounds of iron, the metal aggregating
twice rs much as was used in the Brook
Ign bridge. There are eleven acres Of
skylight, in which are forty carloads Of
fawless glass. No man need hope to re-

It. 1t covers 3ok acres, the area Of
many valuable New England farm,
and including galleries has forty.four
acres Of floor area. To cover that floor
with average carpet would cost s20i $40,
and putting down the carpet would cost

or course the finances Of such big
enterprise will be of interest to the
American people. Down TO Sept. the
total receipts from all sources were 49,.

0o3, 726 and s5.03s, 9S2 had been paid on
current installments Of stock subscrip-

was not counted ON as yet, and only $685.
500 had been received in souvenir coins.
OF the total Ss,743,e59 had been paid
out, leaving cash balance of 81 ,G57, is5.
It is painful to find the following item

AT the same date foreign governments
had expended $124,9oo. England, of
course, leads with an expenditure Of
S11,7s5. The Argentine Republic, Uru-
quay and Paraguay have together ex-
pended S19,670. Neither France nor
Spain has yet expended any sum worth
