AN AMERICAN LUXURY.

SO Dear.
THE thing l especially enjoyed after

it up.

"Then in Italy you shiver about all

crockery stoves never seem to thaw
you out. So when | arrived in America

THE INAUGURAL BALL.

The inaugural ball is to be wonder
fully fine. The tickets to it are sell
ing rapidly. They cost So each There
will be no passes, and the probability
is that there will be at least Il, 600 peo-
pie at the ball There were that many
at Cleyeland's last inaugural ball, and
the night was very stormy. The ball
will be given, you know, in the Pen
Building. This is the biggest brick
building in the United States, if not in
the whole world, Its area is more than
two acres, and its great central court
which is TO be the ball room, covers
more than one acre. There is no such
room as this in Europe. Neither Paris
nor St. Petersburg has anything to com
pare with it, 1t is so big that if you
should take the Plaza of St. Marks at
Venice and roof it over you might have
something like it. This great room
has corridors running around it. 1t
has three wide galleries about its four
sides, and enormous pillars, each as
big around as a dining table, uphold
above the floor that you could put
ten-story building inside of this room
and it would not touch the ceiling
There is fountain in the center of the
floor, the spray of which will be caught
by thousands of incandescent globes
and by number of arc lights and
turned into diamonds.
The vast hall is to be decorated for
the ball The great pillars will be
wrapped in gold and white. Ten
thousand yards of white and gold cloth
will be draped in the shape of cano-
pies from the ceiling, There will be
stands for the President and his party
covered with cloth, and throughout
the whole hall, hanging in strings of
feathery green, wrapping the pillars
and hiding every rough or coarse place
will be such masses of green and flow
ers as one room has never before seen.
The parlor of the east room during the
receptions of President Mckinley will
not be SO beautifully decorated as will
be this great room the night of the
ball. 1t will take carloads of smilax
and tons of ferns to supply the needs.
Men are now at work gathering this
smilax in the south, in preparation for
it Thirty car loads of palms and
palmettos will be needed to stand in
various places about the floors, and
there will be dozens of wagon loads of
flowers. When finished, out of the
green will shine many thousands of in
candescent electric globes, and the
whole will be very fairy land. -Ex

DEAD lHIRTY-0NE YEARS
Case of q Prisoner in Now York
State Pa cdoned by Governor.
His Long legal Exclusion frcsi
tho World to De Followed
by Restoration to Life
ard Freedom.

Through the clernency of former Gov.
Morton there will emerge from prison
walls into freedom next spring man
who has suffered living death for more
than 81 years The first thought that
naturally comes is that this man will
be almost overcome with JOY at the
prospect of his release. But on second
thought, says the Albany Express, grave
doubt arises as to whether this un-
fortunate man viii be even as content
as he must have learned to be in prison
when he is again Gut i'll the world, free
to go where he pleases. He himself
probably has no such doubt now, but it
is much to be feared that when the
prison doors hava closed behind him he
will realize what it is impossible for him
to realize now.
At the age of &C years he will be ut
terly alone in the world without re-
sources, without the physical strength
to make his way through what little of
life may remain 10 him. She that was
his wife. if she still lives, is the wife of
another, for he was legally dead when
the life sentence had been imposed upon
him, and she exercised her right TO
marry again; those swho were his
friends all those years ago are dead and
scattered through the world. He will
be a stranger among strangers. There
are none TO whom he can turn for SYM
pathy, for aid, or even for the oppor-
tunity for making Il living. Moreover,
there will come to him, as never before,
perhaps, the realization that his life,
with all the opportunities which it
might have held. has all but passed
away.
Gov. Morton, before the expiration of
his term, committed the life sentence OF
George Z. Gordon, now in Dannomora
prison, to So years, so that he will be re
leased on May next, the time off for
good behavior being allowed. Gordon
was sentenced in this city in 1866 to
life imprisonment, after conviction OF
the murder of stock drover by the
name of Thompson, in the West Albany
cattle yards. Gordon was a resident Of
Greenbush. and was 50 years OF age
W hen convicted.

on file in the executive chamber for 20
years, and was signed by some OF the
most prominent people and public Of
1icials in Rensselaer, county. Gordon
is at present the prison librarian at
Dannemora, and his good conduct dur
ing his long confinement, together with
the fact that he has always contended
that he did not commit the crime, led to
the governors favorable action on the
application for clemency.
Under the law at that time person
charged with murder could not testify
il, his own behalf, but he then declared
his innocence. lie was convicted on
circumstantial evidence, considered
strong.
Gordon's wife has married again.

The general impression is that the
great bulk of immigrants to the United
States find homes in the great west, "
notably those from England, Wales,
Germany and the scandinavian coun-
tries. The contrary, however, is shown
by recent figures TO be the case. The
states into which immigrants go by
preference are those on the Atlantic
seaboard. Of $4,000 immigrants who
landed in this country during the last
fiscal year covered by the treasury re-
port, $4,000 meant to remain in New
York state. Some 81 900 others had
Pennsylvania for their destination and
$4,000 Massachusetts; so that these
three states absorbed about two-thirds
of the whole immigration to the United
States.

GARDENERS QUEER GAME.
ChicnEO Man UndcrgOcs Long Fast

ChicnEo Man UndergOcs Long Fast
in Los Angeles Hotel.
Robert Gardner, a young man who
came to Los Angeles, Cal, three months
ago from Chicago, has been found in
perfectly healthy condition at the
Hotel Nogcl in Los Angeles city under
going an absolute fast lie has Just
completed his thirty-sevcnth day and
will not at present state how much
longer he will prolong the test, lie
refuses to say what is the exact pur-
pose Of his experiment, but it appears
10 be some part of his faith.
Before entering upon the period of
his fast, which began January 6, Card
ner was known among his few acquaint-
ances at the hotel as a rigid vegetarian.
When nseen he seemed bright and chatted
freely about his physical condition, but
refused to tell his motive When the
ordeal began he weighed 127 pounds,
and he has fallen 80 pounds. He sleeps
about II hours every day and drinks
nothing but warm and cold water. Al
though somewhat emaciated, he walks
about freely and spends his day sitting
in chair or lying on a lounge.
Gardner is apparently a man of fair
means. with no occupation, of good
education and polished manner, but he
is very reticent and desires to avoid un-
necessary publicity.
