is no dividing line and that the ballroom
and hall are thrown into one.
THE TROPICAL SUN PARLoR.
At the head OF the staircase Is another
beautiful effect. There is a large square
room with roof and sides OF glass. a regular
sun parlor. filled with tropical plants, or
chids. palms and ferns. From the hall on
the rig bit the two steps lead into the dining
room. which is all in English OAK. really
black with age. There are six windows on
the side, for this dining room is of generous
proportions.
The ceiling is made of heavy oak and the
walls are of almost priceless Beauvafs tapes
try framed in the broad panels of oak.
The massive oak chairs and table are very
old and rich In the most elaborate carvings.
The chairs have been cushioned and uphol-
stored in bits of the same beautiful tapestry
as that used on the wall.
The buffet has some china of rare an
tiquity, a few glistening pieces of cut glass,
and some of the most elaborate articles in
Mrs. Havemeyer's gold and silver services.
The polished floor is covered by great rug,
made up of numerous small rugs woven
together with iilling of dark crimson.
against which every rug shows with good
effect.

Since they have gone away into beautiful
homes Of their own these dainty rooms
have been added to the large number of
guests chambers that Mrs. Havemeyer al
ways keeps In readiness.
There are three more floors. the basement,
Which has laundry with everything in it
which human ingenuity has yet devised;
a model kitchen pi eeided over by one of the
best chiefs in the country; pantTies and
cold-storage rooms, but these are for util-
ity and not with an eye to beauty.
The third floor is divided into bed room
suites, all furnished in the same dainty
fashion as the floor below. The servants
have the entire fourth floor. and every
room is not only thoroughly comfortable,
but Is really pretty.
This is the town house. and there are
three other houses Just as large and Just as
beautiful as this one. and Mrs. Hayemeyer
is mistr ess of them all--one at Newport, one
near Stamford. Conn, and third down on
Long Island.
Each house is kept in readiness, SO that
one member or all of the family can step
in at any time and find everything perfect
IL appointed. There are sixty servants en-
ployed BY Mrs. Havemeyer, and keeping
houses instead of house, abe needs them
eyery one.

NAMES INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
1t Has Proved a Training School for Many
Wives.

Augusta, December 28.-The report Of the
lad ustrial School for Girls at Hallowell was
submitted to the Governor and Council
Thursday evening. Prof. Ros~ell In his re-
port says the results of he past two years
compare favorably with OF her years.
Twenty have been married in the two years,
and in most cases are fairly well situated in
life. Several hasty marriages, made with
out the knowledge of the officers of tho
school, have proved unfortunate in the ex-
treme. The idea that this school is exclu-
siyely for criminal classes, is erroneous.
The insurance on the building fully
covered the loss, and the new structure is
in many respects better than the old one.
All the sirls.have made marked improve
ment in education and department.. new
school building will be required at an early
day to meet pressing demands.

Two years in advance of the nominations

Two years in advance of the nominations to be made for various state and county of- ticers the faithful News is calling upon democrats to get together. What assur- ance have we that it will not make numer- ous bolts before the eventful year 1886 ar- rives? Will it's course then be repetition of Its conduct of this year? Did it not call vigorously and earnestly upon all good democrats to support the ticket headed by Warnock? What hostages will the News give that it will be loyal in 1896? If in that good year the wind blows out of the east, will the News be loyal, sturdy and manly enough to lace il? Or il the breeze is from another direction, which course will the News take?

And in their meetings w9 bear the same infammatory harangues, greeted with the same hideous yells, that we heard in those dark days, the memory of which will cling to us as the memory of horrible dream. Alabama cannot afford to have her prospects blighted by the re- turn to power of those who misgoverned her from 1868 to 1874.

The bound volume, which is thus put 1T circu- lation for the first. time, covers the period from March 2, 1893, when Secretary Morton took hold of his department, down to No vember 20, 1893.
