by that of the present speaker himself.
Mr.. Burrows is an aristocratic-looking
man, with a face that bears a marked
resemblance to the portraits of Gen.
Grant. In manner he is cordial and
easy and his genial spirits are calcu-
lated to win him the warmest Of friends.
Mrs. Burrows, who was Miss Frances
Peck, was born in Kalamazoo, Mich,
and educated at Rockford college.
While attending school in her native
town she was taught by Mr.. Burrows,
then a young man, and the acquaint-
ance soon ripened into a warmer at
tachment. Mr.. Peck was a wealthy
mana banker-and his daughter en-
joyed all educational and social advan
tages Her husband has been in politics
now for more than twenty years, and
she frequently accompanies him on hi&
campaigns throughout the state. MIRA
Burrows takes great deal of interest
in public questions, is a member Of the
Daughters of the Revolution, belongs to
women's clubs at home and has decided
literary ability. She is a handsome
woman, with big blue eyes, a stylish
figure which she dresses well, while her
manners are gracious and pleasant.
Mrs. Marion Butler is the wife Of the
youngest man that has occupied a seat
in the senate since the days when
Henry Clay first belonged to that au-
gust body. She was Miss Florence Fal-
son, born in Sampson county, North
Carolina, and educated at the school in
Staunton, Va, of which Mrs. ]. e. 3.
Stuart, widow of the noted confederate
general, was the head. Mr.. Butler was
running a country paper when she met
him, and the wedding took place about
two and half years ago. They have
one child, a pretty baby Of about 10
months.
One Of the most prominent men in
the republican party is the chairman
of its national committee, Senator
Thomas II. Carter of Montana. Senator
Carter has been prominent in politics
for a long time, and has also lived in
Washington for some years, having
made this place his home since he held
the position of commissioner of the
general land office. His home, into
which he has just moved, is up on high
hill in suburban part of the city
known as Mount Pleasant.
The Carter house is a tall, red brick,
facing the north. 1t is prettily fur
nished, the bare floor being richly pol
ished, the woodwork of oak and the
furniture of dainty designs now SO pop
ular. Back of the parlor is a quaint re-
ception hall, and this ends in cozy,
bright dining-room, all being neat and
attractive with their light tones and
CHEEKY newness. There are two boys in
the family-John. who is about five. and

residence at Great Darlington, Mass
where he remained continuously for
two years and finished all the designs
for its grand interior decorations. He
then entered the competition for the
new city hall in New York. He gained
the first prize of 5000, and his design
was recommended by the board Of ex-
perts as the only one suitable to be ac-
cepted by the city authorities. Since
that time nothing has been done to-
ward the erection of this building ex-
cept to change several times the state
laws governing its erection.
In the summer of 1890 Mr.. Atwood
located in Chicago at the invitation of
d. H. Burnham, of the Worlds Fair.
Later he was made designer-in-chief
for the exposition, and abundant la
bors were then heaped on his shoulders.
He designed the Art Palace, the Peri
style and the Terminal Station. No
work at the exposition will remain
longer in the memory OF the beholders
than these three widely variant mas
terpieces of architecture.
The Art Palace alone remains, a de-
light to the eyes of thousands each day,
and an ornament to Jackson Park as
the home of the Columbian Museum.
The Art Palace was the purest exempli-
fcation of the beautiful old Greek archi-
lecture among all the structures at
the fair. 1t is of the Ionic style. The
main portion of the building is 500 by
800 feet. 1t is intersected east and
west, north and south, by a great nave
and transept, 100 feet wide and 70 feet
high. At their intersection rises the
flattened dome so characteristic of the
buildings of the Greeks. The dome is
60 feet in diameter. 1t is surrounded
by type of famous figure Of winged
victory In the great interior are gal
leries "a feet above the floor and 40
feet wide forming a promenade around
the entire building. At either end of
the main building are wings, partaking
of the general style Of architecture and
surmounted by smaller domes.
The main building is entered by four
portals, adorned with sculpture and
approached by broad flights of steps.
Great Corinthian columns beautify
these entrances. Colonades extend
along either side and add to the CLASH
cal beauty. The frieze Of the exterior
walls and the pediments of the entran-
ces were ornamented with sculptures of
the masters of ancient art. The color
of the building gave the impression Of
white marble. The main walls were of
brick, unlike those of other buildings
at the fair. They we're covered with
white staff. The building is lighted
through skylights.
Mr. Atwood's ideas in designing the
Art Palace were carried out happily
by its location, which is fronting on
the lagoon, where broad sweeps OF
steps lead down to the waters edge,
and terraces and balustrades beautify

OF Harvard University. After this
course he returned to the Office Of Ware
q Van Brunt, remaining with them un-
til 1872, when he established himself
in Pemberton Square, Boston. In that
year he built the Merchants Fire In
surance Building at Worcester, Mass.
and the Five Cent Savings Bank at
Lowell. He was invited to enter into
competition for several important
structures at this time and received a
prize for the city hall at San Francisco,
two prizes for the state capitol at Hart
ford, Conn; prize for the design Of
the court house in Springfield Mass,
and the first prize and commission to
build the city hall at Holyoke, Mass.
In 1875 Mr.. Atwood went to New York
to become the architect for the firm Of
Herter Brothers, and during the next
six years designed the residences Of
David Dows, William H. Vanderbilt,
Elliott F. Shepard and w. D. Sloan, all
in New York, besides the interior deco
rations of many Of the great houses in
all parts of the country, notably that
OF Mrs. Mark Hopkins at San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Atwood established himself inde-
pendently in New York in 1884, and
received from Mr.. Vanderbilt the COM
mission to design two residences for
his sons-in-law, H. NICK. Twombly and
DR.. Seward Webb. Me also entered in
to competition for the Boston public
library and gained the first prize of
$4,000 against 125 contestants. In 1886

They are cute little fellows, and when
dressed in their blue sailor suits make

blonde, and dresses most becomingly
She is a native Of Washington state
having been born near the town OF
Olympia, but afterwards moving to
Helena. AS Miss Ellen Gaten she met
Mr.. Carter, then rising and ambitious
young lawyer, and they were married
about twelve years ago. Mrs. Carter is
very musical in her tastes, devoted to
her home and family and a model wifs
aAu motner, one VINO Inds her greatest
happiness in her family circle. She
has no ambition to vote, does not ap-
prove of women entering the profess
sions, but thinks that her only and
proper sphere is the home.
One Of the prettiest of the wives Of the
new senators is Mrs. Lucy Day Martin,
who is scarcely more than a bride. AS
Miss Day she was one Of the bellies and
beauties Of the Old Dominion, and when
she was married last year to Thomas
Martin the wedding was the most not.
able event that ever took place in her
native town. Her home was at Smith
field, a small town in Isle Of Wight
county, near the city of Norfolk. Miss
Day was well known in Virginia, hav-
ing been much admired at various
watering-places and attracting a great
deal of attention all over the state. She
is tall and graceful, with large brown
eyes, regular features, sunny brown
hair, with CLINT of gold shining where
the light strikes, and a clear, white
complexion.
Mrs. Martin is the youngest of the
wives of any Of the senator's, being but
22 in February. She has charmingly
cordial and unaffected manners and is a
gifted onversationalist. In riding and
swimming she is skilled, and she makes
a pretty picture when handling the
ribbons over her prancing team of shin
Ing blacks. Though fond of society her
mind has more of literary than social
bent, and some Of her productions have
been much admired for their beauty
of expression and thought. A poem

Birth Day Party.


A Jolly party, consisting OF grandmas,
uncles, aunls, nephews, nieces, cousins
and few friends outside OF the family,
assembled on Saturday evening last at
the residence of Benjamin ii. Joiner,
corner church and Franklin streets, to
honor the fifty fourth anniversary of his
birth. 1t was surprise party to him in-
deed, when he entered home to find all
his relatives gathered together. Surprise
number two came when he was presented
by brother-in law Van Solver, on behalf
o; the company of relatives, with an easy
chair in which to spend portion OF time
in his declining years. The young folks
enjoyed themselves in singing, dancing
and games, while the older ones looked
on and thought of "by- gone days" or
chatted pleasantly with each other. Vo-
cal and instrumental music was furnished
10 abundance by Chetwood, Herbert and
Charles Van Solver and Robert Savage.
The ladies prepared substantial lunch,
which was enjoyed by all. II was a joy
Gus occasion and will long be remembered
by those present. -

There Is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together and until the last few years was
supposed TO be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced 1t incursbie.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
sttutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. ]. Cheney q
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t Is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-

New Commissioners of Deeds.

The Legislature in joint session APP
pointed 871 Commissioners Of Deeds.
The Secretary Of States office has been
busy preparing their commissions, sign
ing and sealing them and they were sent
out Monday TO the various county clerks,
from whom they can be obtained. They
are all dated April 1si. The number Of
commissions issued is larger than ever
before. This is partly the result of en-
larging the number from each ward OF
first class cities to fifteen and partly from
the fact that In the townships the number
is dependent on the population, which Is
increasing.
The following constitute those who
have just been appointed by Governor
Griggs as Commissioners OF Deeds for
