MIR. CLEVELAND A CANDIDATE.

Politics are much mixed up. and are
likely to be more so. But there are
some things which may be set down as
being among the reasonable certain ties.
One of these is the intention to make
Mr.. Cleveland the candidate of the
Chicsgo convention-or OF one Of the
conventions to be held in that city, next
July.
The candidacy OF Mr.. Carlisle has dis
appeared from view. It had brief and
feeble term. An earnest, but not con-
else writer in the editorial pages of
Hsrper's Weekly,-unread, we cneer.
fully believe, by nine tenths OF those
who take up that journal,-hss lAbored
for some time, but all in vain. to con-
vince his public that 1t might be some-
thing more than mere madness to noml-
nate Mr.. Carlisle. But other than this
one effort, there has been nothing done
or attempted Of Importance In that
direction.
Behind The thin figure OF his Secre-
rotary. Mr.. Cleveland's bulk has been
all the while little concealed. and we
are presently to see 1t appear openly In
front. Sucn is the word from Washing.
ton now, and 1t comedies with all the
indications. To some persons,-and to
some of great influence in affairs,-the
American republic rests on Mr.. Cleve-
lands shoulders. He Is the Atlas of
our day. To make him President again,
no matter how many terms contented
George Washington, appears to them
the only way OF aalvation.-Exchange

Ing Piece OF Arehltectnre-A Description
or The New Buildlng.

During the past four months, Rev.
Father, Boutlou, rector OF st. Joseph's
Cathedral, has been a very busy man,
for upon his shoulders has devolved
the task OF supervising the construc-
tion OF the handsome and modern brick
and stone structure that replaces the
old building so long occupied by the
Cathedral parish schools,on Fourteenth
street at the corner of Byron.
The plans for tho new building were
prepared early last spring by Architects
Franzheim. Giesey & Faris, but 1t was
not until June that the work Of de-
molishing the old building and exca-
walton for the new began. Work was
pushed, with the zeal of Father Bout
lou, as an incentive. at such a rate
that very soon after the approaching
New Years the building Will be ready
for occupancy.
The building Is of stone foundations
and brick walls, three stories in height
with n finished basement, costing, aside
from the expense of demolishins the.

old building which is replaced, about
$4,000. The basement is divided into
two sections which are intended as
playrooms for the boys and girls re-
spectlvely. On the first floor there are
four large rooms, all well lighted with
good ventilation, and a principals Of
flee. The second floor is divided into
two class rooms and -four school rooms.
while the third floor is to be used as an
assembly hail. being provided with 4
stage and ante rooms. There are no
posts or other distractions on this floor.
The contracts for the building were
awarded as follows: General contract,
Wood Brothers Planning Mill Company;
sub-contractors, brick-work, Hamilton

The building will be occupied with
imposing ceremonies soon after its
completion and will be occupied by the
school early in 1897. The new building
is another instance OF the progressive
ideas of Right Rev. Bishop Donahue, Of
the Wheeling diocese.

enough to pay and all OF Its holdings ex-
cept the Hoitsclaw farm, amounting 10
several thousand acres. were thrown up
and the territory abandoned. The
Fisher OIL Company, another large con-
Germ. was not OF the opinion OF the other
operators, and believed that there was
some oil to be found. In a very short
time after tho Henry oil Company gave
up lts leases In that section. the Fisher
company sent out n ma to lease every
thing he could get hold OF. The man
worked almost q year and succeeded In
getting many thousands OF acres at a
very small price. Last spring the Fisher
company concluded II would drill n well
and located one but n short distance
from the well drilled by the Henry OIL
Company. When the well was drilled
tothe top OF the sand II showed'up for a
good producer and 1t was drilled In very
carefully and the derrick boarded UP 40

kept busy for n fow days longer and,
finally, II being evident that the well

company did not drill 1t In. II was
thought best to drill In, which was done.
The well proved TO be n producer of
about 200 barrels a day and II created n
great deal of excitement. AT first not a
great deal was thought Of this stun by
outside parties and very little effort was
made to get In on It, but later on the

ADJUSTMENTS.

The audience at the Opera House last
evening was one Of the most composite
that has been seen there this season.
and the performance was in keeping
with the audience. 1t wa an ~enterta;n-
ment that attracted some people who
seldom occupy seats there on account OF
scruples and principle. Nothing offered
on the programme offended the taste of
the o fastidious." The Vitascope
was a revelation TO those who had never
j~iurneyed east, but had heard Of Edisoa's
wonderful Improvement over the k!neto-
scope. The pictures presented by this
wonderful mechanism charmed the au-
d!ence to unstlnted applause. So natural
was the reproduction OF scenes In life
that, in many instances, n could al
most hear the conversation.
The RobinSon's in their descriptive
duett Of electric stercopticon pictures,
were entirely captivating, leavingaa
moral atmosphere and an educational
lesson behind. "A Pack of Cards."

brochures that appealed to the deepest
feelings that stir the heart of humanity.
AS an athletic diversion the Robin

most attractive features OF the evenings

what he had done. broke out in salvos

for his feat. and has an open challenge

The m!craphone also gives a pleasant
diversion during the waits for the in
comparable and startling life-line re-
productions Of the Vitaseope. The Hol-
brooks, and Mr.. Weston contributed
their talents to an entertainment that
was satisfactory and unobjectlonable in
every number. 1t Is 4 performance that
