Shaking Minarets of Ispahan.
lOutiggl

When | first came in sight of the minarets
confess that my expectations were wofuliy
disappointed. Instead of graceful, airy
forms of bright colored tiles and gliding
had anticipated, saw two constructions ex-
actly like the brick ehimneys of an Ameri-
can foundry, rising some 90 or 80 feet above
the roof dilapidated mosque. / felt iu-
elined to turn tail and ride home again.
Their custodian, however. prevailed on me
to ascend one of the narrow stairs which
lead to their SUBMITS. He mounted one
and 1 the other, and as soon as we were
aloft, he signaled attention and COM
meneed swaying his body slowly backward
and forward. Both the minaret we were on
and the one IL or IA yards off followed his
motions and began to bend and sway like
plant wIll0w-wands in few moments
their oscillation became so great, and we got
so far out of the perpendicular, that began
to repent my curiosity and was glad to de-
scend to terra firma. 1t is not difficult to
understand that a single tower can be SO
constructed that man at its top can make
it oscillate; the mystery is, how be can make
second tower, at distance, participate in
that oscillation.

For this reason it is said to be gem
orally true that the architectural work

this evil as well as to give every archi-

CHARLES WETTER's DEATH.
Imperial High Priest Wright on the
Initiation.

The sudden death of Charles Waiter.
of Winthrop, Mimi, at Zuhrah temple,
Minneapolis, Thursday evening, while
receiving the initiatory ceremonies for
qualification to membership in the or
der, Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine, was
the cause for a meeting of the Shriners
at the office Of DR.. S. s. Kilvington
yesterday afternoon. The universal re-
greet was manifested in the decision of
the members to run a special train to
Winthrop over the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis road, starting from this city at
1890 o'clock Sunday morning and bear
ing the remains of the lamented broth
er and the Shriners. Zion Comman-
derry will officiate at the funeral at his
home. kilograms were received during
the day from the committee notified to
notify Mrs. Wetter of her husband s
death, stating that the duty had been
performed, and that preparations
would be made there for the reception
of the funeral train.
w. H. S. Wright, imperial high priest
of the Shriners, was asked regarding
the death Of Mr.. Wetter yesterday.
ut would be impossible for me to make
any statement regarding the matter at
au,' said he, las I have heard nothing
beyond what has appeared in the
newspapers. OF course, l could not de-
scribe the initiation ceremony, but (
will say that it is ridiculous to claim
1t IS so severe that it produces death.
Any person having acute heart disease
is likely to die from over excitement.
You hear of men dying in the excite
ment Of a fire, a runaway, or from en-
thusiasm over sports, but that does
not indicate that the man was subject
ed to harsh treatment It means merely
that his heart was effected and gave
out under excitement.
1.-THE Minneapolis case is nat at all
similar to that at Des Moines. In the
latter city a man was initiated into the
Elks; and among the pranks played on
him was one requiring him to sit on a
hot metal chair. He was only slightly
burned, but two weeks after blood
poisoning set in, from which the man
died. There was nothing at all of this
kind in the Minneapolis case"

FAVOR. THE PKAIG BILL.
Twin City Architects Discussed II
at Their Meeting


At the monthly meeting of the Min
nesota Chapter of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, held at the Metro
politan hotel last evening, the chief dis
cussion was concerning the passage of
the MoKaig bill a measure now before
congress, providing for the designing
of plans for government buildings by
architects other than the United States
supervisors. The bill was most heart
lily Endorsed and 1t is claimed that It's
passage will result In the construction
of public buildings notable for some
thing more than their architectural
mediocrity.
Under the present system 1t is neces-
sary that the government supervisor
design all plans for buildings erected
by, the government, which is said to
mean simply the performance Of the
work by more or less inferior draughts-
men, for the reason that the supervisor
has not sufficient time to do the de-
