Charles T. Yerkes. the Chicago million
aire, at 6Sth street and 9Th avenue, has
not only The most complete electric
lighting, heating and ventilating plant
OF any OF the several electrically

The arrangement OF the lights Is very
artistic. The vestibule or reception
hall is lighted from above through
cathedral glass in the base of dome
by 300 lights. Lamps are concealed
within the carving of the principal
salon or in rosettes OF colored glass and
cunningly placed in the ceilings. In
the library an apparently framed oil

of her hair and eyes make It even more
so than it would be If they were lighter.
Black renders her so dark brunette

that she was not of the Circassian race.
She therefore wears none but subducd

less noticeable. The affection, for IL is
