defeated johnson in two out of three races,
and in Chicago johnson went under repeat
eddy to Zimmerman and Tyler, but he dis
played rare staying power in the five mile
national chaA pionship and defeated Zim-
norman. Late in the season he broke all
records up to and including one mile. but
as they were horse paced trials against time
they were not allowed.
Willie Windle, the wonderful record
breaker of years past, has announced his
retirement. but he may be like Patti about
such matters. If he rides, the Zimmerman
crown will probably be beyond his reach,
but he will make the man who secures it
ride his best or abdicate. Curly headed
Michael F. Dirnberger of Buffalo is likely
candidate for kingly honors. AS halt
miller he has few peers, and he has several
times ridden the distance in l minute sec
onds. Last season he defeated johnson
several times, and he and his partner, Bliss,
broke about all of Johnson's horse paced
records late last fall. Dim berger's flying
mile in minute 81 seconds is the fastest
ever negotiated by wheelman. He is only
81 years of age and has been riding less than
two years.
Julian P. Bliss, the Pocket Hercules" of
Chicago, is hardly big enough to be king,
but he is one of the fastest men on the
track. He won SC, 800 worth Of prizes last
year. In 1892 he did a mile in minutes 10
seconds, which was then a remarkable per-
formance Last fall, with unrecognized
horse pacing, he broke nearly all the worlds
records for short distances, and at Chicago
was close second to Zimmerman in the
10 kilometer e miles 1,19O feet interna-
tional race. He displayed rare endurance
in this heart breaking race and defeated
johnson, Hyslop, Meintjes and Bode. Bliss
is 81 years old and weighs but 1875 pounds
George Taylor, who broke the worlds
mile record several times in 1892, is another
remarkably fast man. He was never Tim
merman's equal in race, but last year he
proved himself the peer of Tyler and Win
die. A wheelman who Is expected to ride
rings around some of the would be cham
pions this year is Z. G. Bald, n young
butcher of Buffalo. He defeated johnson,
Sanger, Tyler, Taylor, Windle and others
last year, rode a flying quarter of mile in
25 Is seconds and won half mile race at
Springfield in the fast time of l minute
seconds. If he continues to improve this
year. he will prove formidable candidate
for Zimmcrman's crown.
Sanger, Tyler, Dirnberger, Bliss and Bald
have already begun their training, and
will probably race at the California Mid
winter fair. Among the other fast men
who will ride this year are Guy L. Gary,
Herbert Citizens, Conn Baker, A. w. War
rem, E. A. Nelson, E. A. McDuffee, F. How
ard futile, A. d. Kennedy, Jr., F. j. Titus
and w. A. Rhodes, but they have failed
thus far to show first class form. There is
no better authority on the subject of Zim-
merman's probable successor than thinner
man himself. He believes that the fight
will be between Sanger, Tyler and Dim
berger, and that Tyler will be crowned king
of amateurs for 1894

An Era Of Cheapness

Look out for it, everybody is
trying to cheaper anything, no
matter what you buy, whether
to eat, to wear or to look at.
When business is quiet they
try to make profits by using
cheap material. Better look
before you buy. There are 10 S
of hollow boasts made about all
kinds of goods, The firm that
has built up reput 'tion by
years of labor and square deal
ing, that pays back money in
any case where goods are not
satisfactory, is good firm to
keep in mind these times.

A COLUMN CAPITAL.

ont case. The runs are laid upon elliptical
arches of so difficult construction that a
slight mistake anywhere might tumble
hewhole to the ground. The under side OF
each run shows fine grained work instead Of
simply the bottom side of the steps, as is the
case with the assembly and the senate stairs.
The corridors, too, are marvels of con-
struction. They are lined with the same
red freestone, but the deeply recessed pan
els of gray sandstone rest upon great ham
mer beams of red Scotch granite, thus
making the ceilings the most attractive
part of the corridors. The round arch Is
used everywhere except for the runs of the
several flights.
A Marvellous Creation.
We're the description to end here the
reader who has never seen the work might
we'll say that it was one Of the most re-
mark able in the werld. But the most az
tiStic and the most attractive part Of the
story is yet to be told. Fully half the cost
of the staircase is in the carving Of the stone,
much of which is done. and more is still to
be done. Broad bands Of intricate toolipg
ran through all Of the corridors and along
the under side Of the broad arches. while the
lower edge Of every arch Is embellished
with carved beading. At every landing
that rests against the solid wall three cor.
bells project slightly over the 1andiag on the
runs ON either side. Here will be feNnd tho
head Of Columbus, With his csraxeFs oloss

ern steamship ana the skip of the vikings.
Still Other sf the corbsls represent school
children playing about log schoolhouse.
the farmer blowing and many other scenes
of domestic life IN America .,
The most delicate of the carvings are on
the wall of the corridor leading to the state
library and over the door of the same.
Here will be found the heads of Minerva,
Homer and Shakespeare, surrounded with
masses of foliage of all kinds, cut In the
solid stone. Heads of grifins and other
animals peep at one as he enters this cor
ridor through either of the smaller corridors
leading to IL. Variety in design has been SO
closely studied that 1t Is said no bit Of carv-
ing In any part Is duplicated in any other
part. The holder carvings are in the capt.
tails Of the clustered columns. which give q
better chance for the skill of the carver
The capitals of these columns show the
heads of men illustrious in the history of
America, like Vespucius Champlain, Hud-'
son, Washington, Franklin and Jefferson.

H't Cost OF the Structure. a.- -
The western staircase has already cost
more than 81 .O00. 600 and 1t will cost half
Of that In addition before 1t ia finished.
The capitol itself has cost over $21 ,0O0. 600,
and the final cost will be $25, 000, 900 In
stead of the first estimate of - 900, 600 But

monument Sc feet. From its situation
on Libby hill, tall bluff rising from
the James river, whence there is a splen-
did panoramic view of the surrounding
country, it is observable for consider
able distance.
The pillar is composed of 13 massive
stones, representing the 13 Confederate
states, and the capital is handsomely
and artistically carved. The figure is
that of q typical Confederate soldier at
rest, but yet alert and erect. In his right
hand he grasps tho barrel of his musket,
the butt of which rests upon the stump
of tree beside him. His left hand
clutches the strap of his canteen, which
hangs at his hip. His rolled blanket
crosses his breast from left to right, and
there is belt about his waist. He looks
intently forward, as if ready for any
emergency that might arise
The statue was designed by William
L. Sheppard Of Richmond, and the cast
ing was done in New York. The cost of
the monument was mainly betrayed by
popular subscriptions raised by COM
n1ittee of 100 prominent Virginians,
though the city council of Richmond do
mated the site and contributed So, 900 to
the fund, and the state legislature made
an appropriation of So, 900 for the Vir-
ginia stone.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-05-05

from changes in the plan, the authorities in
charge of the work have also been changed
from time to time. This want Of knowing
the end from the beginning has led to the
tearing down of much expensive work, as
in the case of the western staircase. where
$50. 900 worth was destroyed before the
space was cleared to allow something else
to be built that was not in the original
plan. The wonder really is that more has
not been destroyed. As none of the con-
tractors or commissioners has become enor-
mously wealthy, the state of New York
may congratulate itself that it has pretty
fair equivalent for what has been spent.

Alice Pierce. Who Was Not Permitted to
Play the Titular Role of Hannele.
For several weeks the name of Alice
Pierce has appeared almost daily in the col
umns of the newspapers in all portions of
the country. She is the 15-year-old child
who was employed to play the titular role
of Gerhardt Hauptmann's much discussed
vision drama, "Hannele," which was pro-
duced at the Fifth Avenue theater, New
York, recently. AS Mayor GiIroy, at the in
stance of Mr.. Elbridge I. Gerry OF the So
ciety For the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, refused to issue license to little Miss
Pierce on the ground that the play is i'm
pious, she did not have the opportunity to
demonstrate in public the remarkable work
of which she is capable in Hannele. Those
persons, however, who have seen her in the
part at the rehearsals predict a great future
for her.
Alice Pierce is the daughter of May
Pierce, a well known singer and an actress
of considerable ability. Alice has been on

Where Snow Is Red.

Snow is sometimes found in polar and
Alpine regions, where it lies unmelted
from year to year and the annual fall
is SMALL, eolo1ed red by the presence of
innumerable small red plants. In its
native state the plant consists Of brill
liant red glebulss en- a gelatincus mass.

personally looked after the construction OF
the work.
Work Of a Great Architect.
But Mr.. Richardson thought he could do
still better, so when the western staircase
was proposed he drew plans on a more
elaborate scale. He had better chance
here because the space to be filled was con-
siderably larger. Rightly speaking, the as
sembly staircase fills we'll so by 35 feet,
extending through four stories from the
ground to the roof. The senate staircase
takes a space of so feet square, while the
western staircase occupies a square Of
about 20 feet. Therefore the area of the
latter on any enc of the floors is double
that of the former Mr.. Richardson looked
after the construction of the western stair
case also, but he never lived to see the work
60 much beyond the foundations. His ideas,
however, still live, and his designs have
been faithfully executed by the superin.
tendent of the capitol, Mr.. Isaac G. Perry.
Had Mr.. Richardson lived it is probable
that many of the details of ornamentation
would not be as they are now. but the COM
pletion of the work in all of its essential
points is just as he had planned.
Each fight of the western staircase has
eight runs of steps. Beginning at the
ground floor, the broadcast of all the runs
leads from the east, for instance, to square
landing at one-third the height between the
first floor and the second floor. Standing
on this platform one can see that similar
run reaches it from the west Narrower
runs lead at right angles to smaller plat
forms that stand against the north and
south walls. Here the direction changes
once more, for still narrower runs branch
off to the east and the west on either side.
SO while there are but two ways of leaving
the ground floor there are four ways Of
reaching the floor above This plan is fol-
lowed through each Of the four stories. the
result being that instead Of the open area
in the centers of the assembly and the sem
ate staircases there are in the western stair
case four smaller areas that distribute
more evenly the light that comes from the
skylight lis feet above the ground as well
as from the windows that pierce the corri-
doris on three of the four Sides
A Pleasing Effect.
The staircase properi is supported by mass
i've foundations Of solidity not equaled
in any other part of the building. The su-
perstructure, Of the same red Scotch free
stone composing the senate staircase, stands
upon heavy nodded bases of granite. From
the ground to the top the structure grows
less massive and more airy and graceful till
the corridor that surrounds the whole ON
the fourth floor seems almost like fairyland,
so light and delicate arc it's lines. The -four
clustered columns that support the central
platforms one over the other, seem hardly
able to bear such a weight. But they dc
even more than that, for they hold the
bases of the arches that sustain the heavier
runs But the stone has been severely test
ed, and its crushing weight is far greater
than what it is called to bear i'll the pres

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The open session
