about two years ago, when the building was

has been examined by other inspectors
The inspector was taken through a goodly
portion of the building yesterday by Su-
perintendent Latenser Particular attention
was given to the first floor, which is TO be
occupied by the postofiice department about
the first of the year. After an examination
OF this part of the building Inspector Roberts
declared that it was all ready for occupancy
with the exception of some small details and
he saw no reason why the removal could no;
take place in the near future.
Regarding the entire building the in
spector said that the work was in every
way satisfactory and up to the specifications
He was apparently well pleased with the
interior construction, remarking favOrably of
the way in which the work had been done.
Inspector Roberts also said that the build
ing was being completed as rapidly as could
be expected.
People always feel that the work on
government buildings is DELAYED" he said,
They do not stop to consider that such
work is necessarily slow. In other buildings
the material is picked up on the SPOT. On
government buildings, on the other hand,
the government seeks to get the very best
material, as the buildings are expected 10

The question OF the right of the state to
bring suit in Douglas county against the
5ondsmen of Joseph S. BARLEY. ex-state
treasurer, is occupying the attention of Judge
Dickinson, argument upon this point having
been going on since early yesterday morning
Suit WIS brought against the Rartley
bondsmen for the recovery Of the $500, 900 al
legged to have been converted by the ex-state
treasurer. The petition was filed in this
county, whereupon the bondsmen, by their
attorneys contended that the courts OF this
judicial district had no jurisdiction in the
premises In the arguments today the attor-
neys for the defendants insisted that the
seat OF state government being nt Lincoln
that action should have been brought in Lam

Attorneys for the state hold that the banks
in this city were designated as repositories
for state money and that money deposited
in such banks was wrongfully converted,

Worlds Largest School.

The largest school in the world is one
mainly supported by Baron Rothschlld
in one Of the worst slums of London,
says the Atlanta Constitution. There
are in it $500 children, coming from
the families of the poorest foreign
Jews, and there are 100 teachers. 1t IS
owing to the Baron's generosity that
free breakfasts are given every morn
ing to all children who wish to take
them. Again, he presents every boy
with a suit Of clothes and pair OF
boots in the month of April, near the
Jewish Passover. An idea OF the pow
erty of the children may be had from
the fact that not more than per cent
decline to avail themselves of this CHAR
ity. A second pair of boots is ofrered
in the month of October to every child
whose boots are not likely to last dur
ing the approaching winter. Ii IS
scarcely necessary to state that rev
do not get them. A very popular feat
ure in the school is the savings fund
department. instituted by the President.
In order to encourage habits of thrift
he allows an interest of 10 per cent
per annum on all savings. The teach
ers are also permitted to avail them

Senses Sharpened in the Wi1ds.

I made bold to say to DR.. Nansen
that thousands upon thousands of men
who were not specially interested in
Arctic work had read his book with
delight, and that to me the marvel
was not that he could do what he did
in the field, but that he could write
such a book about his experiences.
THE best thing in it, to my notion"
[ said. lis your description of your
dramatic meeting with Jackson on
Franz Josef Land, and the best part
of that was your reference to the man
ner in which the wild mans sharpened
senses discovered the fragment of the
soap which the civilized European had
used in his mornings ablutions."
TT is really true" replied DIR. Nan
sen. that 1 could smell that soap as
plainly as if it had been a strong per-
fume. Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for several
days our sense of smell was wonder
fully acute. As / approached Jack
sons hut I thought 1 could smell
everything it contained and give
sort OF inventory of its stores without
entering. In a day or two this acute
ness wore off and we became quite
normal in that as we'll as other re-
