 win Cost Thousands
RICHARD OLNEY,
 Secretary of State.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5:-Thirty deco
 rators and florists are at work
 today decorating the interior of
 St. Thomas Church for the Wander
 bilt- Marlborough wedding tomor- TOW. 1t is said the cost of the
 floral decorations for the church
 alone will reach five figures. The
 general plan of the decorations is in
 accordance with Mrs. Nanderbilt's ideas and the work is under the
 supervision of Rawlins Cottonet, formerly a well known club man. but who is now engaged in the
 decorating business. The buds and blossoms used n the decorations include lilies and roses in many varieties, orchids. ehrysanthemums and selected exotics. Immense floral strands of blossoms, inter-
 mingled with asparagus fern, each strand weighing 1000 pounds, are being hung today from the dome of
 the church to the tops of the pillars.
 The chancel and altar will be buried beneath a mass of lilies and crysan- 1 themums with stately ferns and nalms in the background. The l floral garlands for the chancel alone will have u combined length of , 500 feet

The University of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov 5.--It is said that the Baptist Congress on assembling at Providence a week hence will, at the inspiration of John D. Rockefel- Ter, who will attend as lay dele gate, take some step to correct the prevailing impression existing in the public mind that the University of Chicago is in some manner or other an official exponent of Baptist ideas. This impression, which is quite gen. eral, is due to the great financial ob- legations conferred upon the Univer- sity by MT. Rockefeller who is prob ably the most prominent Baptist layman in the United States. The inference has embarrassed both the Church and the University.

North eighteen months before it was ever heard South. After it had been adopted by the Genfederacy the North tabooed it, and as everyone knew Mr Emmett, its author, to be Northern man and sympythizer of the Union, he was the only man al lowed to sing "Dixie" in any city, theater or concert hall north of Mason and Dixon's line.
 Mir. Emmett is now travelling with Fields Minstrels, and Dixie" will be sung at the performance tonight.
 The GRAPHIC reporter was indeed proud to grasp the hand of the author of the song that has ever since childhoods earliest hours given him the greatest pleasure, and the song that was, and is. loved so dearly by all true Southern people.

A Needed Modern Improvement.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
If a few architects would bestir them
selves to provide for the requirements of
modern life, they might easily set a fashion
which would not only be OF much beneht to
many ailing people, but would certainly
lead to such an amount of altering of older
houses as would be of no small advantage
in a pecuniary sense TO the architectural
profession. While the humble people are
content, and even glad, to go to the hos
pital when i'll, people of larger means are
irritated in no small degree to find that,
for all their fine houses and high rents,
they cannot, If illness comes upon them,
either isolate the patient from the noises
and racket of the house, or isolate the
obviously, however perfect a house may
be in other respects, 1t cannot be consid-
cred complete so long as 1t contains no
special provision for that average of sick
ness which comes upon the healthiest. A
sick room should be arranged for in every
dwelling. a room preferably on an upper
story, separated, if possible. from other
bedrooms by a passage having a window in
IL. and within easy reach of a toilet room,
which could be devoted entirely to the serv-
ice of the sick room If required. Too often
the spare room" is the only one available
for use in illness, which is neither kind to
ones guests nor beneficial to ones invalids.
Feather beds and gorgeous curtains are
out of place in such a room. Everything
should be simple and capable of being
washed, and if the heating arrangements
should include a CaloTigen as well as an
open fireplace it would be an advantage.

Our karma,' the shramana said, is not

which devolves upon me; it is the curse or
my misdeeds and the blessing OF my right

which alone / can work out my salvation"

The frost has ravaged the goldenrod,
And balm and aster are naked stalks;
Thu withered vine and the rafting pod
Are woe and laughter of woodland walks.
Where the past is buried in rotting ease.
And The hunted silences come to sleep,
The leaves of summer are refugees
In MINDLESS hollows, SO dim and deep.
Then clangs thy harp and the skies are
pale,
The lissome river stiffens and groans.'
And the domed north deepens along the
gale,
Whitening down DER the southern zones
Thy white locks strive with the straining
wind,
And thy song is a chant of the warrior
Mars;
Thy harp was tuned where the ice war
dinned,
And it's echoes glance from the hidden
stars.
Though the lights of heaven be bitterness,
The night a bludgeon. the day a sword,
Yet Beauty lives in the storm and stress,
Unscathed, nor fleeing the Arctic horde.
Full weaned from the Summers easy joys,
Under thy banner. that fiaunts and
charms,
She views the battle in headlong poise,
Palled and pleased with the clash OF
arms.

HIS WIFE is HAPPY NOW.

Avenue Auction Room.

New York Sun.
My wife" said Mr.. ~Scrymgeour, "has at
last found something with which to busy
herself continuously. l have long urged
upon her the necessity of having something
to occupy her mind besides the mere dis
charge of social duties, which are wearisome
at best. The bane of many women is annui,
ridiculous fads, as you know.
.Latterly / have noticed a change in my
wife. Her former 1istlessness is gone, and
she seems TO take more interest in what is
going on about her. | even saw her read
ing the paper one day last week. This
change naturally pleased me-. and | ques-
toned her in order to md out what had

luctant at first, she finally owned up. Her
confession ran somewhat as follows.
You have heard of Smithkin's auction
rooms on Fifth avenue. haven you? No?
Well, they're Just lovely They sell the
most beautiful things at absurdly low
prices. They all belong to wealthy people,
you know. who have been unfortunate and
have to let them go for a song. The real
values are marked on them in plain figures,
so that you can always tell how high you
can bid and still get a bargain.

Mrs. Ungerman a few weeks ago. She
was quite used to 1t. and bid on lots of
things, but stopped just in time for some
one else to get them. It's quite exciting, /

Around the fire my parents sit:
They sit at home and talk and sing,
And do not play at anything.

And follow around the forest track
Away behind the sofa back.
There, in the night, where none can spy,
All in my hunters camp / lie,

These are the hills. these are the woods,
