OHIO'S NEW CAPITOL.
Alterations in the Old Structure that

Alterations in the Old Structure that
Will Practically Make 1t New.
Drawings for the Ohio State capitol,
prepared in accordance with the pro-
visions of the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Dodge, have been complet-
ed. Mr.. Dodge's plan Is really to re-
model the present capitol. He proposes
the addition Of another story and an
extension Of the east and west GEN.
tiers so as to form two large additional
rooms on each floor. There would be
a corridor entirely around the interior
Of the building, thus affording access
from a room In given corner of the
building to the one opposite without re-
tracing ones steps through the rotun-
da, as Is the case now. The first floor
would be devoted exclusively to State
offices. The second floor would be
given over to the Supreme Court, law
and State libraries, while the third
floor would be occupied by the Senate
chamber, hall Of the House and COM
mittee rooms. There would be four
elevators. Dodge's bill provides that
the adjutant general shall invite plans
from the architects, and after their
work is ready to be submitted the Gov
ernor, judges of the Supreme Court,
Speaker Of the House and President Of
the Senate will select the best plan.
The Governor would then appoint a
commission of four to have charge Of

Preslde emit Cleveland Thiuko the Claims
Are Not just.
The President Wednesday sent to the
Senate vetoes.of two Senate pension bills
The hrst was In the case Of Charles D.
Jones, a photographer who accompanied
one Of the regiments Of the Union army
In the war Of the rebellion. He was IN
jured apparently not very seriously while
taking photographs and where no battle
was In actual progress He was not en-
listed, and was In no manner In the MILL
tary service OF the United States. In
vetoing the bill the President says:
aside from the question as. to whether
his present sad condition IL attributable
to the injury sustained, 1t seems to me
the extension Of pension relief to such
cases would open the door to legislation
hard to justify and impossible to restrain
from abuse" The other veto was In the
case OF the bill for pension to Nancy n.
Allabach, the widow Of Peter n. Aha
bach, who served In both the Mexican
war and the war of the rebellion. The
President calls attention to the fact that
Mr.. Allabach maze no application TOT
pension on account Of disabilities during
his lifetime. "It Is not" says the Presi-
dent, "now claimed that he was in the
least disabled as an incident of his mill
tary service, nor Is 1t alleged that his
death, which occurred nearly twenty
nine years after his discharge from the
army was in any degree related to such
service"

HOME RULE TO BE GRANTED.
Scheme Of Autonomy to Be Put In
Force In a Month.

Scheme Of Autonomy to Be Put In
Force In a Month.
According to Washington correspond
ent, the Spanish Government within the
next four weeks will put into execution
a comprehensive system of home rule or
autonomy for the island Of Cuba. There
is good reason to believe that the State
Department has received from Madrid
information to this effect. In any event
it Is beyond question that this important
move is assured. 1t promises to bring to
a sudden termination the irritation and
friction which has existed for many
months between the United States and
Spain, and to replace this feeling with
one Of a friendly and amicable nature.
The law which will be put into effect was
signed by the queen regent OF Spain,
March 10, 1895, and will be followed up
by rules and regulations developing the
present scheme of reforms. By the time
the queen regent Of Spain makes her ad-
dress to the Spanish cortes, which assem-
bles in one month, the law will be pro-
mulgated throughout Cuba and the long
expected policy Of home rule for Cuba Will
be realized. The law Is very elaborate In
it's provisions. The element of home rule
is secured by the establishment OF two
local bodies, drawn largely II not entirely
from residents of Cuba. One Of these Is
to be known as the provincial chamber
Of deputies and the other as the council
of administration.

A MONSTER GLOBE.
A Fac-Simile Of the Earth to BE
Erected.

Erected.
One Of the most remarkable monu-
ments the world has ever seen Is that
projected by Elysee Reclns. the emf
nent French geographer. His idea is
to construct a gigantic spheroid, In ex-
act imitation Of the earth, as to Its rela-
tive proportions and form, to be erected
either in London, Paris or New York.
This, he says, will be an imposing and
permanent object lesson as to the topo-
graphical and geodetic features OF the
planet on which we live. In dimen-
sions 1t will be one-hundred- thousandth
as large as the earth proper. The equa-
torial diameter of the monumental
spheroid will be approximately AS feet
and its circumference 1872 feet.
AS to the general construction Of the
monument and the choice Of its site, M.
Reclus insists that an artistic ideal
must be kept In view, and that the en-
velope Of the globe shall be visible from
a great distance. The globe Is to be
mounted upon an axis, which will per-
NIT of its being revolved at will. To
guard the surface against climate and
weather there is to be an envelope for
the whole, non-revolvable, painted on
the outside to simulate the face Of the
earth. The available interior of this
envelope or exterior blouse" as M.
Reclus calls 1t, that Is, the space be-
tween It and the globe proper, will be
devoted to various galleries and spiral
accents, stairways and scaffoldings to
facilitate the minute study Of the geo.
graphical surface. The cells Of the
great spiral will be about twenty feet
apart, one above another, and will be

TRADE is NOT BRISK,
RETAIL STOCKS ARE YET VERY
LARGE.
Prices OF Commodities Lowest Ever
Known-Clerk's Dishonest scheme-
Cripple Creek Almost Annihiiated-
Death In the Storm.
Trade Still Halts.

II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Business has been favored
by seasonable weather, and the distribu-
ton of products has made fair progress,
not yet reducing retail or wholesale
stocks far enough, however, to materially
improve the position of industries. Those
stocks have apparently been large ever
since the fever of buying last fall, and
the actual buying for CONSUMPTION
smaller than has been generally realized.
Hence all the great industries are embar-
raised by lack of adequate demand, and
In some cases the accumulation OF goods
In anticipation of demand has gone about
as far as it can. Strikes Of some impor-
lance are threatened in building and win
dow glass trades. Prices of commodities
are on the whole lower than ever before.
The fall in manufactured products is less
than it was April 1, but in farm products
greater"

Mr.. Money. The latter, already dazed,
could not dodge the missile and 1t struck
him behind the ear, cutting an ugly cash.
Mr.. Money fell back against the wall. At

TAPS A COFFEE VEIN.
Dishonest Employees Had Filled q

Dishonest Employees Had Filled a
FIue with the Brown Berries.
One or more employees Of the wholesale
grocery house of Bement, Rea 4 Co, of
Terre Haute, Ind, were so DESTROYS Of
getting bicycles that they opened not less
than 500 packages of coffee to get the
coupons, for certain number of which
the manufacturers give bicycle. When
a change was made in the wall of the
building on the ground floor it was found
necessary to remove some bricks from the
fue At once there flowed from the aper-
ture thus made a torrent Of the brown
berries. The workman thought he had
got into the wrong place, but his surprise
was exceeded by that Of the clerks. 1t
was found that the fiue from the third
floor to the basement was full of coffee.
Another flue was opened, and it, too, was
full of the loose coffee. The fiues are
not used because the house is heated by
steam. Some one had been opening the
packages of coffee, taking out the cou-
pons and throwing the coffee into the fiue.
For some time the foreman of the depart
ment has been reporting that he could not
make his coffee stock balance with his
account but he could not imagine how the
shortage occurred.

An Interesting Sight at Central PARK
at 2 O'Clock Each Day.

An distressing Sight at Central Psyt
at 2 O'Clock Each Day.
Raw beef IL the daily meal which
Father Knickerbocker provides for his
animal guests In the Central Park
menagerie. There il always a crowd
on hand when the butcher serves din
ner at 2 o'clock every afternoon. 1t Is
IN interesting sight to watch the AMI
mails as they receive their great hunks
of meat. Ds.a nr
The leopards growl at the sight or
human eyes riveted on their food. The
lion enjoys the company, and the little
laughing hyena "Whiskers" gets grin
on his face that compels those who see
1t to join In his wonderful and fearful
smile. The little ones take to the baby
hyena, and "Whiskers" entertains them
even when he is eating.
I'VE feed the animals once In every
twenty-four hours" said the director
of the menagerie to reporter the 9TH
err day, as the meat carver arrived at
the house and the animals began to
pace ferociously up and down their
cages. 1--WE only give them a small
meal, for II we allowed them to fill up
they would all be dead in year or so.
They're just as hungry as can be when
p. m. comes around, and 1t would not
take long for that tiger there to make
mince-meat out Of those who are watch
ing him If he had a chance just before
meal-time. They get about a quarter
Of what they were used to before they
became captives.
"They live long in captivity when
they are fed sparingly. No, there Is no
cruelty about it, for, while they are
hungry, they are long way off from
the starvation point. If we gave them
a good dinner they would need exer-
else to digest 1t. They can't get exer-
else In 5x5 cage compared with roam
Ing the prairies, the forests and the
jungles.
1T Is interesting to see how they
know when it is 2 o'clock. That big
lion there keeps the time for them. Ev-
cry day, fifteen minutes before meal
time, he starts pacing up and down
with his head almost touching the bars.
AS soon as the other animals see him
they are on their feet in second and
| pacing their cages for all they are
worth. No matter what they are doing,
whether sleeping or laughing at the

baby hyena, they know the mealtime
and travel about four miles in pacing
before they eat. Their eyes are always
on the door at that side, for it is from
that direction that the butcher comes
with their meat.
1--WE always give them meat with n
bone In 1t. They have no table man
ners, and If they did not have to scrape
the meat from the bone they would
swallow their peal whole, and then
there would be several dead lions and
tigers in few days. The hyena fam
lily prefer bone to meat. They don't
leave anything around after their
meal."-.New York Press.

Will Pass the Trocha.

Havana advices say that If Gen. Maceo
succeeds in crossing the eighteen-mile
barrier in spite Of the $4,000 Spanish reg
ulars pressing him on all sides. Gen. Wey-
Ter must confess, as Gen. Campos did,
that the campaign is failure and that
Spain cannot end this war by her own
unaided forces The rebel general has
sent word to his friends in Havana that
he will break through the trocha when
he is ready, and that at the first rainfall
the captain generals plans will turn to
dust. 1t is certain that Gen. Maceo has
some sure means Of suddenly assembling

ACTION NAY BE DELAYED.


Statehood Bills May Be Held Back by
the Territorial Delegates.
There Is strong possibility that the
delegates from the territories will not at
tempt to secure congressional action on
the statehood bills until the next session
Of Congress. They have canvassed the
House since the New Mexico and Arizona
bills were reported and have encountered
obstacles which lead them to believe that
the measures will command more votes
in the next session than during the pres
ent one. The three delegates are working
together and declare that they expect to
stand or fall together, so far as the fate
Of the statehood bills Is concerned. They
say without reserve that political consid-
erations may enter into the action Of
Congress and that members might fear to
commit themselves on the question Of ad-
hitting new States on the eve Of presi-
Dental election who would not hesitate to
vote for the bills afterward.
