KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, viii attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced IN the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

The space assigned for historical
society in the basement is well concen-
trated, and, being placed in the same
wing as the library, arrangements
might be made for the common use of
the two collections.
The author of this design has re-
stricted himself to a less area (about
$500, 900 cubic feet than any of the
five which / recommend. He shows
less unassigned space" than do Nos. 2
and Z. 1t is apparent also that if he
had not kept so safely within the limit
of space advised by the commissioners
"A. SOC, O0o), he might have improved
his design externally. More interest
of shadow effect might thus have been
given, especially by the increase of the
projection of the fanking pavilions on
the north and south facades.
He presents scholarly, well proper
toned and refined design for the ex-
terror. The only points of detail that
/ would criticize is the ornament above
the central windows, and the balconies
on the fanking pavilions above men
toned, both being features of insult
cient dignity for such building.
The approaches are well designed.
The collonade above the main entrance,
with its richly ornamented side piers
capped by well-placed sculpture. would
be very fine feature
| The porte-cochere under the main
entrance is well handled and has merit
of great practical convenience.
As a whole, the dome is very good.
Especially noteworthy is the fine pro-
portions ana beauty of outline of its
mass; the coupled columns, with their
pilasters, strengthen to the eye, and
enrich the drum of the dome. The
outline of the dome Itself is very re-
fined, and it is capped by delicately
pesigned lantern, which would give
rich play of light and shade. The or
namentation of the dome is excessive,
at least relatively to the character of

Gentlemen: FortY-one designs were

A SATISFIED MAN
Who Does Not Propose to Build a Eaf-
road.


Henry W. Oliver, the great iron man
of Pittsburg. is largely interested in
mining on the Mesaba range in Mime
sofa The Plttsburg Dispatch says that
when shown a telegram from st. Paul
stating that he was backing the Mer-
rits in building rival road. Mr.. Oliver
said that, SO far as he was concerned,
there was not a single word of truth in
the statement; that the relations be-
tween his interests and the Duluth,
Mesaba 81 Northern people were not
strained, that he had no disposition. no
desire TO encourage or assist in the
building of another line of railroad,
and that he thought that the lines of
railroad now in the country should be
encouraged u paying them fair rate
of freight, so that they could provide
additional facilities for moving the
heavy tonnage now pressing on the
lines Mr.. Oliver stated that his treat
ment by the Rockefeller interests had
always been fair, and that he had no
reason to anticipate any change in their
policy

Labor Law.

The state labor bureau regards the
child labor matter as the most import
ant thing before it at present, and hav-
ing limited force of men, some of the
other work, for the time beAeg, is being
allowed to take care of itself in order
that the child labor law may be put on
its feet il proper style. No systematic
attempt to enforce the law has yet
been made outside of Minneapolis. but
the results in that city are highly en-
couraging. The age limit in this state
is higher than in other states; it is l6
years, while elsewhere II is Il. But
this fact has not interfered with the en-
forcement of the law, and probably
will not.

The chief defect in treatment of the
dome is that it springs too suddenly
from the roof of the building. with but
a slightly marked plinth to break the

If it were thought desirable to give
the building more varied and broken

In closing he said:

and not as working drawings. AL
though certain Objectionable qualities
in external design should preclude a
design from any award OF premium,
the main point upon which to Judge of
the capabilities of the competitors,
where meritorious external treatment
is presented, is the skill shown and
carried out with all the elaboration of
detail and sculptural ornament that
has been indicated. Where such rich
ness of ornamentation appeared to me
essential to fitting result from any of
the designs, this consideration has
weighed with me in my award.

and to the chosen site.
At my request, the names of The COM
petitors were concealed from me until
i had rendered my decision to your
commission.
In forming my judgment of the re.
spective merits OF the designs. have
been guided by the instructions to
architects" and by the special verbal
instructions of of your board in regard
to the necessity of convenience of acces
between the senate and house of re-
representatives.. and between the supreme
court and the state library.
After preliminary examination, ]
found 20 designs worthy of more care

Is, Il, %, Is, 10. 81, %. %. "a. 20, %. IS
and 80, On more detailed examination
i decided that the nine designs most
worthy on account of merit In plan or
exterior treatment, or both, were Nos.
2, 5. Z, Is. IA. 26, 80, 80 and 80. Of these
designs, found Nos. IS and "a worthy
Of special mention and Nos. 2, z, 81, 50
and 20 to be the five designs to which.
in my opinion, the premiums should be
awarded.
Mr. Wheelwright then discussed the
merits of the seven plans which he
mentioned. He said of the Gilbert
plans:
The legislative chambers are in the
north and west wings. The arrange
ments of these chambers, one to the
other, and of the supreme court in con-
nection with the library, all being on
the second floor, as suggested by the
commission, is more satisfactorily
gained in this design than in any of the
others which / consider worthy of pre-
miums. The committee rooms are con-
veniently adjacent to the legislative
chambers, and are under control The
retiring rooms for these chambers are
both placed back of the speakers chair.
This plan presents the best arrange
ments of supreme court and library,
but, while showing ample space, in the
proper location. for the convenient To-
cation of all the minor Offices of the
court, the reporters of the court have
not been assigned this floor in coniunc-
ton with the Offices of the clerk of the
court, as might have been done, and as
is desirable to do.
The library occupies the space to the
north, and the judges rooms. and other
Offices on the east and south, as is de-
sirable for such working offices.
The corridors of the first and second
story are admirably lighted, some at
the end and others on the sides. The
lighting of the basement could be i'm
proved, and better staircase effect
could be gained if the form of staircase
shown in No. 2 were adopted. The
plan readily admits of this change.
The first floor shows well arranged
Offices and, although the governors
reception room does not hold very
important position in the plan, its dig
nifty is satisfactorily recognized in its
treatment.
