Satisfactory Progress Made on the St.
 Louis Convention Hall.
 Satisfactory progress is being made by the contractors on the immense au- ditorium building designed for the use of the Republican convention. Seats are provided for 13, 600 persons, and owing to its architectural construction and the steep pitch of the balconies a good view of the speakers stand is had from all parts of the structure, thus correcting the only defect of the Minneapolis con vention. Sergeant-at-arms Byrnes and his assistant, Max Pracht, made thor ough and critical examination of the building. Every pillar, brace and fast ening was looked over, the entrances and exits measured, and everything was found to be entirely satisfactory
 Such disposition of doorkeepers is made that without undue haste every ticket can be examined and every ticket holder seated inside of ten minutes. "The architects know their business, '' said Colonel Byrnes. The building is to be completed within ten days, and it is proposed to give an entertainment of 8 dedicatory character, at which more persons will be present than will be at the convention, thus subjeeting the building to practical working test. !"

 A. P. Lowrie, editor of the Elgin News chairman of the commission, summarized the result of the inyestiga- tion i'll this way:
 Those ill the first stage took the treatment for from two to four weeks and declared they were cured. Those who had it in the second stage an- nounced to us they were cured or felt themselves in fair way to become wholly well again, and those in the third stage seemed more hopeful think the process is the most philosophical and scientific one. 1t is an improvement on the old inhaler. the doctor says.

SILVER NAPLES NEXT.

Next to tile poplars the silver naples have
suffered so far al broken branches are con-
cerncd. A few have been uprootcd, mainly
those that have been most severely pruhed
in the past. Trees that have been heaued
back years ago, and have sprouted near the
cuts, are very liable TO break OF at these
points This tree, above all Others. Is
prone to have branches split off during
storms. 1t requires timely treatment when
young.
Elm trees have not been greatly injured,
andl think none have been uprooted. Some
branches have been twisted and wood split
SO as to injure the main stems, and the
roots of these will be removed. These
trees have never been subjected to pruning
eXcept for the removal of branches injured
by gales, or twigs that have been removed
for the destruction of caterpillar webs.
The plane trees, both native and foreign
species, the Norway naples, and the hn-
dens, Jared we'll OF the first named,
some few were uprooted. The Norways
are OF sturdy growth, and are but little
affected by the ordinary storms. They
root SO well that specimens OF good size
have been broken off a short distance above
the ground.
All OF the prostrated young trees have
been nut back in their places, branches
have been trimmed, and II is expected that
they will not suffer much, especially as
this is the best period of the year for the
formation OF roots. Older trees than
these may he reset and may live for a
time, but they ultimately succumb TO the
injury.

BE ST STREET TREES.


The first two were not rated as the best
trees that could be selected, but the la tier
was regarded as the best possible street
trees a reputation which it continues
to bearif properly treated when young.
This Mr. Saunders says, explains i'll brief
why there came TO be planted so many
trees that are HOW rejected. and adds that
none of the Carolina poplar nor tile ash
leaved maple have been set during the past
decade.
The principal mistake made. he said, dur
ing the first decade of tree planting, was
the IMPROPER preparation of the cNcaya-
ti0ns, and the insufficient quantity of good
Soil for the trees.
A part of the report may he said to be

at is both frivolous and futile" it reads,
| to blame any one. or any system of manage
meut, for the whole of the destruction re-
| sultng from the late storm. Trees that
were firmly imbedded in the soil had their
stems snapped asunder. Even forest trees
| in this immediate neighborhood. large
| oaks that have stood the storms of more than
| century. were torn up by the roots.
Especially perplexing and bewildering
| TO the ordinary reader are many of the
hastily expressed and unconsidered criti-
| cisms on the management OF our city trees.
To read that the trees have been allowed to
| grow up too much. and not having roots
| big enough to support them, they have
blown down. or, as another adviser states
| IL. trimming is very necessary, for street
| trees do not develop roots as strong as
| those that grow in fields. and they are not
strong enough to hold up top-heavy tree
| in a gale
I'VE are at loss to know what is
| meant as these remarks imply that trees
in cities have the remarkable faculty Of
| developing branches without the aid of
roots; that the time comes VIII eli this crratic
| growth of top so far exceeds the correlative
growth of root that the fabric upsets. and
| this is to be reinedied by cutting out the
| branches, and SO still further weaken the
