THE new CAPITOL.

If there is one thing that Minnesota
needed more than all others, it was a
new capitol. The structure that has
been serving in that capacity for these
many years is worn out, both exterior
and interior, and could be called moth
ing less than a disgrace to the State.
The Offices are all too small, and the
dome as we'll as the representatives
hall was as menancing as the wolf be-
fore the fold. There is, of course,
some question as to whether the State
can afford 100000 expenditure
for this purpose during the next two
years. OF course, the taxation will be
increased so far as the capitol fund is
concerned, but the legislature can re-
duce the taxation from other sources
by reducing appropriations for other
public buildings, and alleged benefi-
cial schemes. This will certainly have
to be done. While the Gazette was
favorable to the erection of new CAP
itol during the next four years, it was
opposed to the present bill. At the
same time, it recognizes the fact that
if Minneapolis can support a 81, 600 OOO
city hall the State can afford s., OOO,-
600 capitol.

regular monthly meeting, was met by a

composed of President Donnelly, H. P.
Bjorge, B. J. Hall and Robt. Eckford,
who presented a proposition on the
part of the alliance to sell all of the
prison-made binding Irvine during the
coming season. The proposition gave
rise to a lengthy discussion, but no &C
ton was taken. At present the prison
is turning out 5000 pounds of binding
Irvine per day.

not injuring him. When arrested he

Judge Otis, of Ramsey county, sus-
tains the demurrer Of Messrs. Boggs
and Horton to Rhodes complaint on
the coal combine investigation. With
an indictment for Perjury over his
head, his $4,000 suit practically
knocked out in the district court, and
the idea that the people consider him
modern Annanias and public ROB
bar, Rhodes must have come to the
conclusion that he has shrunken into
very little measure, indeed.

nary fine wire is drawn through steel

Instead. it is drawn through what is
practically a hole in a diamond. to
which there Is, Of course, no wear.
These diamond plates are made by

oily of the art in this country. The
wire is then run through machinery.

Although the mode of slowly making
this lace is calculated to reduce It's
cost to the lowest possible pointer
women and girls in Belgium resort to
jacemaking not as an industry BY
which to earn a living, but put IN
their spare time and leisure hours IL
the evening and holidays at it seated
on low stool. with the lace pin
cushion on their laps-the extreme
delicacy of the work, after all, makes
il high in price even over there.
Thus, for instance, the most beauti-
full piece of lace on exhibition in
the Belgian section cost no less
than $4,000 francs (Sl5,c0o) to pro-
duce in Belgium itself. This is the
exauisitelv beautiful bridal veil given
by the Belgian women to their queen,
Henriettc, on the occasion of her sill
yer wedding not long ago To pay for
it a popular subscription was opened,
no one being allowed to pay more
than ten confines two cents. and it
thus took the aggregate gift of 100000
Belgian women and girls to make up
the wherewithal to pay for their joint
gift, and 200 girls and women, the
most expert lacemakers in the coun-
try, jointly worked on it for several
months. This veil, by the way, is in
the Woman's building.

the display at this exposition bears
this ont. Some of the bronzes are al
most as delicate in shade as the Japan
ese wares, and a life-size figure OF
'Leonidas at Thermopylae. the group
called Innocence and Love, etc, are
fine beyond compare. The most arts
tic of these hronzes are produced by
the so-called lost wax process. /. e..
the wax mold is destroyed in the cast
ing, hence only one specimen can be
obtained from each mold. Some Of
these on view are worth from 81 600 10
5000 at home and about double that
amount here. Humor in bronze is like
wise a peculiar Belgian product. and
some of these tawny-hued jokes as
tonish by the vividness and natural
ness of the mobile and vet unmobile-
features. Cloth especially green bill,
lizard table cloth, in which Verviers,
Belgium, enjoys a virtual monopoly
pianos made in Brussels, and the
photographers art, as well as a col
lective exhibit made by the beet sugar
industry Of Belgium, also deserve pass
ing mention.
In Machinery hall there is an inter
esting exhibit made by Mons firm Of

good advantage in factories, foundrics.
etc. including locomotives, etc, and
another firm. Marie-Mont, Of car
riages. more distinguished by elegance
of form than by their practical availa-
bility in this country. A great iron
firm in Neutrality-suspicious., employ
ing 1900 worlSmen and exporting
100000 tons of mineral per year, has
also very comprehensive display of
railroad and Industrial implements.
An interesting exhibit, too, and one
that probably could be utilized by new
settlers and miners OF the far west. is
that of iron houses, such as are made
at Belgium for the Congo district in
Africa. A complete specimen of this
sort of building is the building form
ing part of the Belgian exhibit in
Manufactures buildingl where the
Belgian fair commissioners have their
headquarters. BY very ingenious
device perfect ventilation and both
warmth or GOODNESS are secured. Just
as needed for the exigencies of climate
or weather. In conclusion | can only
say that it viii pay to carefully ex-
anime the Belgian section of the great
