GlaSSblOwers From Tlurlngia

Ihere is settled now upon the edge
OF the German quarter in New York a
little colony of artistic and scientific
Slassblowers from Thuringia. The
colonists say they are the first aud
only persons to undertake IN the
United States exactly such work rs
they are doing
The show window of this little fac
tory displays a curious variety of
works in glass. There are delIcately
wrought vases in many colors, thsr-
mometer tubes, surgical appliances;
little double bulbed glasses with water
in the lower bulb and gold fish in the
upper.
The glass flowers are the pride and
speciality of the proprietor. He was
one OF the earliest men in Germany to
make them, says his voiube assistant.
and they are really marvellous products
of the glassblower's art. rner, are
roses, red, white and yellow, with soft
and pliant-looking petals, curiousiy
like the genuine rose. There are
sprays of lily of the valley, plant in
which the Germans specially delight;
moss-rose buds, forget.me nots, and
ali of fifty other flowers that one NAV
name. The glassblowers use ordinary
Illuminating gas, to which they COM
municate extra pressure by II simple
device. They work with astonishing
rapidity and nicely. China, Glass and

NOW AND THEN.


oh, now and then there comes day
When all our skies are light,
AMI all OF life's appointed way
Is bathed In golden light
when roses hide no thorns beneath.
When love has no alloy;
And zephyrs full Of perfume breathe
From out the hills OF JOY.
The present is neeting thing
The past will live for aye,
And all its store OF pleasures bring
Forever and day.
And softer shall the echoes como
From times rcceding shore;
Each will CLEAN pleasure froS
The days that are no more.
Oh. memories OF such. awake
And glad the weary Now;
A wreath OF recollectious make
To crown the dreamers brow.
Oh. silent voice and vanished hand,
Bring back the golden sheaves
The ripple of the waters ami
The laughter OF the leaves.

SANTA FE REORGANIZE
New Committee With Captain r.
Somers Hayes as Chairman
OUT OF THE RECEIVERS HANDS.

1t VIII Probably he Taken Within
Year-Bt< Insurance. Men In 1.-THE
New Hospital
The announcement is made from the
offices of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company of the appointment
of general reorganization committee.
The chairman is Captain r. Somers
Hayes, who was formerly an executive
officer of the Missouri Pacific and Wa
bash railroads and is now president of
the St Paul s. Duluth, and one of the re-
ceivers of the Georgia Central and has
had many years of experience as prac-
tical railroad man.
The other members of the committee
are: L A. Won Hoffman 81 Co., who rep
resent also Messrs. Raphael 81 Co., of
London; Edward n. Gibbs, treasurer of
company; Frederic p. Oicott, president
of the Central Trust company,
trustee of the Colorado Midland mort
cages; Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, chairman
of the finance committee of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance society and president
tee of the St Louis aud San Francisco
mortgages; Geo. q. Haven and Adrian
Iselin, Jr., director of the Mutual Life
Insurance company; VIM. Rotch of New
Bedford, Mass, and J. Rodman Weld of
Boston.
1t will be seen that three of the strong
est financial corporations in the world
the Mutual Equitable and New York
Life insurance companies-have repre-
sentatives on the committees.
This committee has been formed by
the express invitation of the Santa Fe
company and will have the cooperation
and support of its directors and officers,
and the effects of its organization will be
to render unnecessary the further active
continuation of a number of voluntary
protective committees, which have here
tofore been formed here and in Europe
to look after the interests of particular
issues of bonds on the Santa Fe system,
and it will prevent diverse and conflict
ing plans OF reorganization
The committee has elected Stephen
Little as expert tn verify by the exami-
nation of the company's accounts all the
statements which will be submitted by
the officers of the company, and it is
understood that Mr.. Little will enter
upon his examination at once, so that a
plan may be perfected and the property
restored to the directors and officers of
the company within a short time.
Inasmuch as the securities of the
Santa Fe system have deprecated to the
extent OF about fifty million dollars in
the aggregate since the company went
into the hands of receivers, the necessity
for prompt reorganization of the prop
erty and its restoration to credit at the
earliest possible date is evident.

The One at Topeka To BE Under Way BY
June l.
Bids for the new Santa Fe hospital at
Topeka will be asked Immediately and
active work on the Santa Fe hospital
building will be in progress sometime
before June 1st. The plans are now near
" complete and are in the hands of j.
w. Perkins. architect, of this city. The
building will be a two-story one with
a high basement and will be of New
Mexico red stone. 1t will be very
handsome as we'll as commodious struc-
ture and will cost in the neigh bornood of
$4,000.
The hospital when finished will accom-
modate about eighty patients at one
time.
The Newton hospital will not be so
large. 1t is to be twO-story structure
for the accommodation of about twenty
five patients, and will cost about $40, 0O0
The site has already been secured and
was donated by the citizens of the town.
The plans are in preparation and bids
will soon be asked, and the work will
probably begin at about the same time as
on the one here.
The association is composed of officials
and trainmen of the Santa Fe and is main
tanned by per capita assessment of from
20 cents to so cents on every employee of
the company, and the hospitals will be
built out of reserve fund of long stand
ing.
