Novel Addition to Largo ONCE Building
In Now York City.
The visitor may wander for hours over
the wide expanse of the great Pres
byterian building just finished at Fifth
avenue and goth street and then pass
out without having seen the most
beautiful feature of the entire struc.
ture., This is the chapel, which is sit
uated on the ground floor, and which
has it's entrance from, the corridor that
opens on Goth street. The cha pei eX-
tends across, the west end of the
building, and at the street end is a
superb gallery. 1t has seats for 55a
people, opera chairs, with folding bot
toms, being used. They are finished
in mahogany. Like the building itself,
the room is fine Interpretation of the
classic renaissance in architecture. The
sentiment of it is purely Greek, the
working out being based upon the Ionic
period. The ceiling is nearly square,
the :monotony of this being broken be-
low by the heavily balustraded gal
lery, and from the gallery front two
.Grecian columns, adorned with pure
Ionic pilasters, rise to. the ceilings
height. The ceiling itself is divided
into square panels heavily nodded in
ornamental plaster, and in the center
of each is rosette carrying in its
heart an electric lamp. Columns are
indicated at the sides of the room,
separating the walls into immense pan
els, which are to be the subject OF
decorative effects later ON. Around the
entire room runs base of highly-fin-
ished marble. just now the entire room
is a study in white, with the excep-
ton of this massive.marblea addition.
At the end opposite the gallery and in
the center is the recessed platform,
with domed ceiling and paneled like
the rest of the room, only more delicate
ly. Then, on the left of this, looking
toward the platform, is q remarkably
fine organ. The instrument has three
manuals and Al stops and stop combi-
nations, not counting the combination
adjuncts between the keyboarls. Some
Of it's solo stops IRE exceptionally fine.
Experts have been wondering at the
manner in which the problem of en-
cheering was overcome. Here is a
large hall on the ground floor of u -
story building and above its ceiling
IL stories are supported. The neces-
say resistance was secured by running
three immense trusses across the cell
ing, and these extend up through the
next floor in the partition wall between
rooms. These are of iron, and are
bridge-work in their character. The
hall, it is understood, is to be used only
for the meetings of the various Pres
byterian boards, although the question
Of permitting it to be used for concerts
has been freely discussed. 1t would
certainly be an ideal place for chamber
music and song recitals, as it's acous-
tic properties are pronounced to be

! ONTARIO IL, DRYING ! up y

Carriage Drive Aloag the Bed Of the Lake
whore stssmboats Once I1osted.
Lake Ontario 10 now without doubt
ut the lowest ebb ever known. It was
very low in the spring, and has con-
tinued falling week by week ever since.
This is owing to three causes, the prin-
cipal being the continued drought in
the basin of the great lakes and tribu-
tariss since May, 1894. The second
cause is the denudation of forests, al
lowing the water to run of quickly.
Another cause is the lowering Of the
channel of the st. Lawrence river in re-
cent years. The beach at many points
presents curious and somewhat beau
tiful appearance, showing the action of
the water. ia the past and giving the
shore a peculiarly ragged appearance.
Probably there is no better place than
1'routburg for making aoomparisons.
Out at West Point the water has re-
ceded nearly a quarter of a mile. Here
the beach is thickly strewn with fine
building stone, awaiting some enter
prising quarryman. In front of the
Pleasant View house there is a little
pier ut which anglers usually sit and
fish; now there is not drop of water
within many feet of it. In front of the
Ontario house there is pier, beside
which steamboat sank few years ago
during a storm. Now only few feet
of the outer end of the pier is standing
in about two feet of water. Fourteen
years ago the late ex-Sheriff Campbell,
Of Rochester, purchased the Bush house
property and built pier far out into
the lake. Subsequent storms carried
it all away, excepting big crib which
the ice showed off below the surface, and
it is usually submerged; now it looms
up about five feet above water. A half
mile east, at the DEVILS nose, which is
the highest headland on the southern
shore, there is a chain of rocks and
conglo,nerates extending far out into
the lake. Usually they are submerged,
but now pedestrians pass. all over and
around them dry shod. A few years
ago Landlord Stour, while fishing off
this point, had his anchor caught
among these rocks, and had to abandon
it. A few days ago his little son Lyell,
while wandering among the rocks, dis
covered it in few inches of water and
secured it.
A few days ago Misses Nellie Austin,
Emma Bates and Matte Elliott, of Nor
ton, drove with horse and carriage
along the beach from the Spring Brook
marsh west of Troutburg, u distance of
two miles, passing along the; base of
the DEVILS nose, right where small
steamers and other small craft can
usually 60. At one point while pass
ing this cliff they were apparently
baked by a chain of huge powders,
which were too close together for their
carriage to pass, but they pluckily un-
hitched their horses, and, lifting the
vehicle over, rehitched and proceeded.
Their Trip is feat never performed be-
fore by feminine, and they are justly
clated. A few years ago it was accom-
l,lished by Ed Gavin, the veteran black
smith at Shay's Corners, and a COM
I'anion, but their temerity nearly cost
them the lives of themselves and
horses, all of them escaping only by
their ability as swimmers.-Roches

When you leave the towns and cities,
it is as rare to find a gold monometallist

and tho continual shrinkage Of farms
and farm products, as we'll as every
thing else since silver was demonetized
except debts, have thoroughly aroused
tho producer and caused him to believe
there is certainly something wrong in
our financial system, and O majority of
those in tho cities interested in him are
beginning to believe with him, as they
find when be is prosperous all other
classes are prosperous, and when he is

A voice From Georgia.

Silver is an issue, great issue. 1t
will be tho leading issue in tho cam
paign Of next year There is a well de-
fined sentiment among us that free coin
age Of both gold and oliver at q parity
of 16 to would immensely help busi-
ness, Down south the crops will be
large, more especially corn. But prices
arc not encouraging. There is no money
in farming today, nothing but a mere
subsistence,
We have raised enough corn and cot
ton and other crops to pay off tho ma
tional debt and make the south wealthy,
but we don't control the price Of what
we have to sell. That is controlled up
here. A small number Of men tell us
what we shall get for our crops, and
wo arc not in a position to oppose them
successfully.

why nreaIs Down an Industry

The cry Of the administration is that
tho free silver movement is solely in the
interest of the silver mine owners, Let
us study this statement briefly The
silver production of the United States
is very large. The mining Of silver is a
most important industry in America
Why should government officials, parad-
ing over the country the ideas of their
stuffed prophet, seek to break down this
great industry? Suppose they should
attempt to destroy the manufacture Of
cotton presses. Suppose they should
seek to destroy tho coal mining business
or tho production Of iron and steel.
Would tho people Of the United States
tolerate such conduct one moment? No,
and they will rebuke with their honest
ballots the efforts Of Mr.. Cleveland and
his cabinet officials not only to destroy
one-half the money Of the people, but
also to break down one Of her finest in
dustries. -H. H. Cartoons Athens (Ga.

Tho number of grains of coined silver
equal to one grain of coined gold is
called the ratio This is an arbitrary
enactment Of law. The original ratio
5000 years before Christ was 1 to
l. julius Caesar, emperor of Rome, in
the year 40 B. @. fixed the ratio at
10 to L. This ratio was maintained for
1,240 years throughout the civilized
world until the fall of the Roman en-
pire, A. D. 1904. The ratio fixed by the
act Of the United States congress Of
1899 was 10 to l. The French ratio at
that time was 1519 to Il. In 1887 CON
gress changed the ratio to 1G to 1. The
chief reason for remonetizing silver at
that ratio now is that it would be in ac-
cordance with existing law and would
not require the calling in and recoinage
of any Of the gold and silver coins now
in circulation. New York Mercury.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to develop
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter
dropping from the head into tho bron-
chial tubes or lungs is very liable to
lead to bronchitas or consumption,
that destroyer which causes more
deaths in this country than any other
disease. As catarrh originates in i'm
purites in the blood local applications
can do butlittle good. The common
sense method of treatment is to purify
the blood, and for this purpose there
is no preparation superior to Hoods
sarsaparilla. The powerful action Of
this medicine upon the blood expels
every impurity, and by SO doing cures
catarrh and gives health to the entire
organism.
