William NJ. Kenyon, of Minneapolis.
one of the five architects whose plans
were selected for further consideration by
the Washington capitol commission, told
Minneapolis Journal reporter that the
building planned by him is based on the
Corinthian order, with low dome in the
style of the dome of the art building at the
Worlds fair. The ground plan is like a
gigantic letter E with the tongue as long
as the wings at the end. The senate and
house chambers are situated in the ends of
the outside wings and the library
in the middle section. thus Civ
ing each light from three sides.
AZ each side of the main entrance,
in the middle of the main facade, the
main wall is carried back, the iine of the
facade being carried on by Corinthian coll
umns, six on each side and forty-five feet
in height. A similar effect is provided for
on the wings, the effect being that of an
open colonnade around the three sides of
the b hiding. This colonnade supports a
broad frieze. Mr.. Kenyon claims for his
design that 1t gives the maximum of light
and air with a minimum of space and ex-

HENRY 3. cIIrroRD IN TROUBLE.


The Self Appointed Boomer OF wash
taston cheeked ~ Last.
For several years it has been the mis-
fortune of the state Of Washington and
the city OF Spokane TO be advertised
through the East by 4 man named Henry
Il. Clifford. who appointed himself boomer
and paid his own way Sometimes he
hired halls and lecsured on Washington
and Spokane. and he wrote extravagenf
interviews for papers that would print his
stuff. His talk and writing was OF the
style of the street vender Of patent medi-
cinss. and Of course did great injury to
this state and 10 Spokane. The following.
from recent Issue of the New YORK Sam,
indicates that he has been choked on at
last:
Henry B. Clifford. an order for whose
arrest has been issued by the Oswego
courts. was for two years a decidedly con-
spicuous figure in New York city. He
carried out bis self-adyert:sing methods to
remarkable point. Like many other
promoters Of Western schemes, ne believed
that the way TO achieve success In New
York was TO achieve a certain celebrity as
being man of wealth. He is small man,
rather round-shouidered and not particu-
larry attractive in appearance. and he usu-
attire, such as pair of enormous seaiskin
gloves, a tayendar-colored overcoar or
seaiskin hat. He invested nearly all the
money he could command in horses and
carriages. Then he hired 2 very pompous
negro. who was dressed in gorge,
Gus livery. with 3 cockade on his nat
and il was Mr.. Clifford's habit to drive
around town beside this negro is huge
yeilow-wheeied dog cart, drawn by pow
erful BAY mare. The promoter did not
drive, but sat beside his coachman in an
attitude of deep thought. As a rule men
OF wealth do not drive down to Wall street
IN dog carts. and the appearance OF Mr..
Clifford in this sor; of an equipage caused
people to ask who he was. This was the
end ne aimed at, and, after driving about
the business section Of the city with more
or less gorgeous trappings for two years.
he became quite well known. He always
claimed to be partner of Col. Ingersoll.
but the latter announced at one time that
the partnership did not go beyond not
particularly fortunate investment on his
the colonei's-part, in one of Clifiord's
mining schemes
