Cass Gilbert Says They Are Antici-

Cass Gilbert returned from an East
ern trip yesterday, after an inspec-
ton of the building he has under way
in Boston, on contract. Mr.. Gilbert
says what impressed him most on his
trip is the fact that there is a very
optimistic feeling there regarding Min

the reports that this state will have a
phenomenal wheat crop this year, and
that there will be a decided improve

PICKED THE COMMISSION.
Judges Make Selections and VIII
Look Up Qualifications.

The six judges of the district court
met again yesterday morning in Judge
Brill's chambers to carry forward the
work Of appointing a charter commits
sion, and were in session all the fore
noon. When they adjourned it was to
2 o'clock Friday afternoon.
The result of the deliberations of the
morning was that the fifteen members
Of the commission were chosen pro-
visionally, that is to say, that the act
requires that members Of the commits
sion must be possessed of certain quail
ifications. They must be freeholders,
and must have been legal voters for
five years. The judges find it incum-
bent on them to ascertain whether or
not the men whom they have named
possess the qualifications set forth in
the act. 1t is, however, probable that
the names will not be changed from
the list as made out yesterday, since
the judges fixed upon the names Of
prominent citizens.
The list will not be made public until
fixed. Judge Brill said yesterday that
that would be within a day or two.

American "den," the thing itself is as
suming marked Importance in our
architecture. Almost every house that
is built with more pretensions than a
cottage contains den, "and while the
room is generally small it frequently
occupies one of the choicest and most
prominent places in the house. Not ur-
commonly great deal of care and ex-
pense is lavished upon the finishing and
furnishing of the "den." 1t is felt that
this corner of the house should reflect
the taste Of the masculine element, even
though all the rest be given over to the
feminine influence. For this reason the
den" sometimes degenerates into a
mere smoking-room, and blazes with all
the barbaric colors of the orient.
When correct and creditable tastes rule
the day, the den or Office will be made
a small and cosy room, dignified in spite
of its size, light and cheerful in it's at
mosphere, and strongly marked by the
personality of its owner-that is his in
dividual taste should find expression
here more strongly than in any other
room in the house. 1t should be COM

of odds and ends, so that an important
letter or receipt cannot be found with

Cured

GOLETA, CAL, March 5, 1897.
Four months ago took my boy, who
was afflicted with severe case of
rupture, to Prof. Joseph Fandrey, 821
South Broadway, and today Dr.!Stod-
dard, of Santa Barbara, who exam-
ined the boy, finds him entirely cured.
After having tried several physicians
without help, received news from
people in Santa Barbara who had been
cured by Prof. Fandry, and, fortu-
nately for my boy, decided to try
this physician, with the above stated
result.
No amount of money can buy our
happiness. and if | can give any in
formation, either by letter or other
wise, to Others similarly afflicted l
shall be glad to do SO.

The Town Of Larissa

Larissa, called by the Turks Yenisher,
Is place of about 10000 inhabitants,
and is the chief town of Thessaly. It
is situated on the River Pineus, and
about thirty-five miles northwest of Vo.
10, where part Of the Greek fleet is sta
toned. Up to 1881 when Larissa was
ceded to Greece, it was the seat of a
Pacha of the vilayet of Janina, and is
now the seat of Greek archbishop.
Traces Of the long subjection of the
town to Turkey are found in the
mosques, which are remarkable for their
number and magnificence. Althoug 4
the population is not large there are
over twenty mosques. The number Of
Christian churches, on the other hand.
is comparatively few. When Larissa
was under the Sultan's rule it was the
seat of strong Turkish garrison, and
during the war Of Greek independence
1t was the headquarters of Ali Pacha.
The manufactures include Turkish
leather, cotton, silk and tobacco, but the
town is not remarkably prosperous, al
though the surrounding districts are fer
tile and excellent for agricultural pur-
poses.
Nowhere" writes ChristopherWords-
worth, "will the traveller who has come
from the west or south of Greece see SO
many grave figures. attired in rich
dresses. sitting quietly before the doors,
as there. Nowhere will he meet SO many
OF those sprectral female forms, stealing
along in their long, white stolcs,
