In the Dome of st. Paul's Cathedral.


There is only one St. Paul's, and
upon the summit of its dome there is
but one ball. Atlong intervals Lon
doner, and more frequently tourist,
climbs to this ball and sticks his head
and shoulders inside. Having done
this and looked upon the heart OF the
world from the stone gallery and the
golden gallery, and upon the congre-
cation from the whispering gallery, ne
returns to earth and tells his friends
and acquaintances of his feat, and ad-
vises them to follow his example. The
number of persons who make this pill
sriu1age averages about forty per day.
r. reach the ball it IS necessary to
climb $40 steps Of many varieties. The
proportions Of the gilded globe are III
perfect keeping with its surroundings.
It has diameter Of six feet, and twelve
persons can stand within It's walls. 1t
weighs $500 pounds. The gilded cross
that towers above it is fifteen feet in
height. From this ball nearly all Lon
don is seen on clear day. Why there
are so many kinds Of steps in the cathe'
dral no one pretends to explain. In
the opinion of those who have counted
them, to climb these steps IS equal to
covering twenty miles on an ordinary
road. 1t is universally considered,
however, that the return journey is
equal to Russian bath. The first
steps are of wood. These are succeeded
by steps of stone, and these in turn by
iron ones. Then there are ladders,
some with a gentle slant, while Others
stand so straight that to those VINO
climb they appear to lean backward:
The first ladder stands on the crown of
second dome, where an officer gives
necessary directions to such men as
want to see the ball, for few try to go
above the crown of the dome, being
content to rest there and watch some
exceptionally active sightseer do the
rest. st.-Chicago Herald

THO fOOrs
EDITOR HsRALD In your issue OF
December 23d, you kindly published
over my signature plan for the perma-
nent relief of the poor, and work for
the unemployed. While | am still OF
the opinion that the idea suggested
therein is the practical business solution
OF this important question for perma-
nent relief, we are confronted today by
the helpless condition of the poor that
need not only suggestions, but immedi-
ate relief; and while it would be very
nics II all persons on the tax-roll would
60 down in their pockets and pungle up
sufficient coin to lavishIy help the
poor, and employ every idle man
ut a big day'a pay for eight hours' work.
yet we must consider that every tax
payer 10 by no meane rich man end
many of them have as hard O struggi Ia
as the man not on the assessment roll.
We therefore must fully consider the
justice duo to the taxpayer as well az to
the poor when we talk OF doing a large
amount of pu Bile work to BIO charged up
in taxes for the benefit OF the poor.
with this point in view, and yet with q
desire to Temporarily help thoae in dis
tress, the city and county could better
afford to change the present plan than
to have what they term tramps crowd

a petition in the superior court for the
purpose OF contestingD. VIM. le Moyn Q

ton as q member from the Second ward.

and belief, which ii they be true, he
save, ought to seat the defeated candi.
da.e.
Among these allegations is the one
charging the judges and members OF
the election boards in the several pre-
cncta in the Second ward with msl-
corduct, more particularly defined az
follows: First, that large nun Der OF
ballots which mad been cast for Craig
we're counted by those judges Tor Wills
sscnnd, thut ballote which were voted
Craig were thrown out entirely because
the voters in stamping them had not
put the cross or mark Just within the
square designated by law for il; third
that illegal votes were given Dr.. Wills.
The petitioner thinks that the number
OF ballots thus illegally treated and
counted by the judges OF election in the
Second ward were amply sufficient to
have turned the election in favor OF
Craig. This number can easily be ascer-
tanned, he elaine, by recount. and he
asks that the superior court order this,
and declares that j. A. Craig is tue daily
elected member to the city board OF
education from the Second ward.

They are we'll and hope to bring back

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

The Northwest Recovering From Bust
ness Depression.
II. w. Augustine, wealthy real estate
owner Of Spokane Falls. Wash. arrived
here few days ago and will perma-
nently LOCATE in this city. In speaking
about the present condition of the north
west. Mr.. Augustine said: what we
want in Spokane ia the tourist travel of
Southern California. We have the re-
sources, but people do rot come to our
section and invest their money as they
do here. Southern California is adver-
tised throughout the United States by
it's climate and wealthy people are at
tracted by it's climatic condisions and,
when once here. recognize its advantages
and become either residents or investors.
Business is somewhat improving in
the north west. 1t Is generally conceded
that Spokane will become military
post, and already 1000 acres of land have
been offered to the government for that
purpose. One real estate syndicate con-
tributed $4,000 toward the purchase OF
the land, and the city council has guar
free for all time to come for the use Of
the post.
''Several Of the mines are producing
immensely. One mine near Trail creek
produces 100 tons OF ore per day that
assays $40 in gold.snd large percentage
of copper per ton. An English syndi-
cate took bond on the Tiger mine and
other properties adjoining in the Cour
d'Alenes for 81. 10000 In the SLOGAN
district a fifth interest in silver mine
was sold few weeks ago for $50. 0O0
Real estate, however, ia suffering from
stagnation, but the prospects are very
bright for the revival of the financial
and commercial interests in Eastern
Washington"
Mr.. Augustine has become the agent
fer Southern California for ]. A. Folger
& Co. OF San Francisco.
