How the New Hail of Justice viii
Be Laid Out.
The building which will rise on the 81 te
of the old City Hall will be one OF the
finest of the kind in the United States. 1t
will have all modern conveniences and
will be arranged to accommodate the
criminal business of the City For its
construction $275, 900 was appropriated,
with an additional $25, 900 for the furnish
ings. In competition for plans Shea &
Shea were selected as the architects, and
their plans are admittedly equal to the
great WORK. The building Will be fire
proof and will be arranged to give the
criminal courts quiet loca ton, while the
prison, hospital and police headquarters
will occupy convenient and appropriate
quarters.
Instead of having the prison in the
noisome basement twill be on the top
floor, where it will be we'll lighted and
ventilated and also secure. The baseme Mt
will be reserved for an assembly-room for
the police, where they will be convenient
in case of emergency. In the center OF
the building there will be shaft 80 by so
feet, which will provide ventilation as well
as light. The Receiving Hospital will be
on the main foor in the rear. Abundant
prison room will be afforded and provi-
sion will be made for isolating boys and
girls from old criminals.

CITY,. There We're several other speeches
on the subject, most of them favoring tn e
motion, and on the roll being called to
strike out, was carried by 1870 to 10, and
Indianapolis was ordered stricken from
the constitution. Delegate Silver OF
Washington City moved that the word
washington be substituted, and the mo-
ton was seconded by Delegate Marr IN a
speech setting forth the advantages to be
derived from locating at the National
capital.
Delegate Kennehan of Denver moved
that Chicago be substituted. Delegate
Weismann m entered radical protest
against Washington, holding that there
was great danger that the executive
council and permanent officers OF the fed
Grafton would become contaminated by
the degrading and corrupt practices ana
influences that would there surround
them, degenerate into professional Con-
gresslonal lobbyists ana lose the influence
which they can now exert with mem bers
OF the Nations Legislature as honest men
asking only that which is right In behalf
OF the Nations wage-earners.
Il hope that Washington will not be
chosen" said he, ''but l know it will.
There is com bination in this convention
that has already accomplished the passage
OF several measures of doubtful propriety
and 1t will accomplish this one"
There was general murmur of dlsap-
proval OF this remark, and the chair
promptly called the delegate to order.
First Vice President P. ]. Mcclure denied
that there was any probability Of the
members OF the executive council becom-
Ing corrupted or stopping to the level OF
professional lobbyists, and advocated the
selection of Washington for the goud OF
the federation and ali wage-earners. He
hoped to see the time when the organiza-
ton will buy ground and erect temple
in the Nations capital for the permanent
home of the American Federation OF
La Dor.
After two or three other delegates had
spoken, the discussion was brought to a
close by motion for the previous question,
and the vote resulted in the selection of
Washington by 1887 against 474 for
Chicago.
Fraternal Delegates Samuel Wood and
John Manlinson having announced that
they would leave at 8 o'clock on their
Journey to their homes in England and
Scotland, President Gompers, in a very
happy manner, expressed the pleasure felt
by the convention over their presence,
ana each OF the gentlemen responded in
words OF highest commendation of the
manner IN which the business of the con-
vention was conducted and the high order
of intelligence and kindness of the dele
gates.

will make merry music for happy toilers and
| yet more happy property-owners.
Now, having but poorly performed my task.
surrender the labor OF laying the cornerstone
of our great Palais de Justice to ADLER and bet
ter hands.
In behalf of the Mayor, who was not
present, Supervisor Benjamin, chairman
of the Building Committee of the board,
then made brief address, and then for
the City turned over the laying OF the
cornerstone to the Masons. Grand Master
William NJ. Lucas briefly responded and
said it gave him unbounded pleasure to
| inaugurate so important municipal i'm
provement.
Then he handed the copper box oon-
tanning the articles to be placed under the
stone TO Grand Treasurer Edward Cole
man. The Grand Treasurer held 1T ready
to deposit, and the stone was lowered to
its place by three stages The contents OF
the box were then read off by Grand Sec
retary George Johnson. They were as
foliows:
A copy of the municipal reports for 1896 /;
one copy of each daily newspaper; 81 views OF
places of interest in the City and County, in
cludtng photographs of the Midwinter Fair
buildings; a pamphlet containing a descrip-
tion OF the property owned by the City; ex-
tracts from the municipal reports referring TO
the old City Hall building; one of each de-
domination OF gold, silver and nickel coins of
the United States; a list OF the officers OF the
Kearny-street Improvement Association, ana
one volume of the proceedings of the Masonic
Grand Lodge held this year.
In laying the stone, which was block
of granite a foot thick and four square,
Grand Master Lucas was assisted by the
rest of the grand officers. They were
Deputy Grand Master Thomas Flynt,
Senior Grand Warden F. NJ. Angelotti,
Junior Grand Warden Charles +. Patton,
Grand Secretary George Johnson, Grand
Treasurer Edward Coleman, Grand Mar
shal and Past Grand Master J. B. Stevens
and Grand Bible bearer William S. Moses,
Peculiar is an incident i'll connection
with Moses. The first job he ever secured
in California was piece OF work within
ten feet CT where the cornerstone was
laid. He got for it SIG day.
During the ceremony the choir of the
Grand Lodge sang the following: Hail
Masonry Divine "Place We Now the
Cornerstone, ;" Corn, Wine and Oil We
Now Have Poured" concluding with
Praise God From Whom All Blessings
Flow" The choir was led by Samuel d.
Mayer and consisted otherwise of Messrs.
Ogilvie, Fleming and Jones.
A pleasant incident in connection with
the affair was the presenting of beautl-
full silver trowel to each member of the
visors by W. H. Bodish, the second vice.
president of the Kearny- street and North
End Improvement Association, for the
association. The committee is composed
OF Benjamin (chairman), Wagner, Spreck-
els, Hirsch and King. In doing this
Bodfsh, in behalf of his organization,
thanked them for their efforts to have the
work begun Immediately.
When the ceremony was over the Ma
sonic bodies formed IN proper order and
marched back to the temple on Post and
Montgomery streets. Here they disbanded.

Therefore William Jennings Bryan Ia
Not Desired at ALbanY.

ALBANY, N. Y. Dec. 19.-William m
Jennings Bryan wants guarantee of
$500 to lecture in Albany. Messrs. J. r.
Nangle and John Nj. Munro, two promi-
nent men here, thought it would be an ex-
cellent scheme financially to bring Mr..
Bryan to Albany under the auspices OF
the G. A. R. of Albany County. A letter
under the date of Novem ber Is was mailed
to Mr.. Bryans manager, asking for terms
and other information.
In the reply it was stated: 1--WE will
book Mr.. Bryan on the following terms
That we receive IS per cent of the gross
receipts. with guarantee that our share
would not be less than $3500."
Messrs. Nangel and Munro have given
up the project, as they could not see
where the G. A. r. would come in if Mr..
Bryan's manager wanted such large
guarantee.

pionship doubles came off this afternoon
between the winners of the late tourna-
ment, Arnold and Kaetzel, and last year
champions, Freeman so and Picker '98. Il
was generally supposed that Picher and
Freeman had concluded to let the match
go by default, inasm uch as it was sched
uIed to occur some time ago. The result
was that very few students witnessed thu
match, which was generally all one way,
but enlivened throughout by very pretty
rallies. Picher and Freeman won by
scores of Go, 60, 60. The play proved
that they are easily the champions.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. 10. = The
Greater New York German Orphan
Dowry Society is an organization which
has been founded bv Lazarus Morganthau,
a phiianthropist. The object of this So
ciety is to protect German orphan girls
who are unable to secure employment
and it will also provide sufficient dowry
to enable them to marry suitable men.
Any German girl. no matter of what re-
ligious creed, will be looked after by this
society. Four girls are to be married on
Washington's birthday. The board of di-
rectors will consist of 200 mem bers, one
half Christians, the other Hebrews. For
the present every girl who marries will
receive dowrv of $100, but Mr.. Morgan
thau believes that before long the finan-
clal condition of the society will warrant
the giving OF a much larger sum. For
thirty-eight years Mr.. Morganthau has
devoted himself to a study of the subject.
He is now 81 years old.

Cranp Discovers Many Valuable Uses

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. ia Times
special from Washington says: A select
company of Senators and Representatives
from the rn-growing States of the West
were Thursday night the guests of Mr..
Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder,
who introduced them to the secret of va
rious discoveries that his chemist has been
making for the utilization of the corn
crop.
Mr.. Cramp explained that his chemist
had discovered that cornstalks could be
made worth 81 ton or So an acre by
mechanism which would extract from
them alcohol, cellulose, a material for
mattings, carpets, papers, smokeless pow
der and cattle food superior TO any other.
These direct benefits to the farmers of the
great corn-growing States of the West
would be over 1925 000, 900 per annum on

HAkVARD GETS ThE DECISION
Defeats Princeton in a Most Interesting
Debating Contest.

Debating Contest.
PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. 19-For the
third time in the history of inter-collegi-
ate debating Princeton was defeated here
last night by Harvard. The debate was
listened to by about 1900 people, who
showed great interest in the discus
sion of the question, Resolved, That as
Stunning the adoption of adequate consti-
tutlonal amendments the United States
should institute a system of responsible
Cabinet judgment" The judges were
Joseph f. Hawley, United States Senator
from Connecticut; Professor G. G. Har-
rison of the University of Pennsylvania
and DIR. HamiltodW. Mabie, editor of the
Outlook. Princeton had the affirm ative
a nd Harvard the negative. The first
speeches were of twelve minutes length,
and those In rebuttal OF five minutes each.
President Patton introduced TaIcott
Williams of Philadelphia as the presiding
officer of the evening. The first speaker
on the affirmative was H. H. Yocum oil
Princeton, who showed in the pres
ent system OF government the lack both
of responsibility and of efficient leader
ship in legislation, and that these are due
to confusing system of committees in
both houses.
S. r. Wrightington of Harvard then
opened the case for the negative by stat
ing that the adoption of the system would
tend toward the undermi lining of the check
which the President, the Senate and the
Supreme Court have on hasty or untimely
legislation in the lower house, and that,
furthermore, it would tend TO destroy the
principle of federation between the States
and so lessen individual right in making a
stronger central power.
R. Sterling was the next speaker for
Princeton. f. o. White of Harvard fol-
lowed r. M. McElroy closed for Prince
ton. Charles Grilk closed for Harvard.
Harvard got the decision.
