Put in Place.

A fiag-pole which will extend 1lo feet
above the ground is waiting TO be put
in position at the High school build
ing, corner Of Washington avenue and
Vine street. The pole was secured
after a long period. during which its
presence there was advocated by the
board of control.
Much difficulty was experienced in
finding a pole suitable TO grace such
handsome property. At one time Con-
troller Gibbons advocated a steel pole
and the purchase of one was seriously
contemplated. AS many as two spe-
cial committees were appointed to in
vestigate the cost OF the pole, of wood

THIS AND THAT.

The last issue of the Boston Home
Journal. Saturday evening paper of
high standing, contains a full page
likeness of Rev. Dr. Joseph X. Dixon
and quite an extended notice of his
past and present work as preacher and
lecturer. 1t says about his work in
Scranton. His next pastorate was at
Scranton, Pa, where he occupied the
pulpit of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church. In 1894 Bucknell university
conferred upon him the degree of d.
=. OF late he has become known as a
lecturer, his fame extending both east
and west. He has been called upon
to deliver special addresses before ma
tional and state organizations, and has
been also occupied in bi-monthly cor
respondence for the Examiner, New
York, anc the Watchman, Boston. In
the pulpit, on the platform, and in his
writings as well, Rev. Mr.. Dixon is
seen to have a command of diction at
once forceful and elegant. Not only,
however, is he talker of rare power;
he possesses unusual executive ability
and command of practical detail that
has been shown in all his pastorates.
This executive power has been OF vast
use since he has settled in Boston,
for this summer the people of the War
ren Avenue church have determined to
make radical improvements in the fur
nishing and decoration of their church,
and in many of the arrangements the
excellent taste as we'll as the practical
good sense of the pastor have been
shown. Rev. Mr.. Dixon is taking a
personal interest in the smallest de-
tail of the renovations, which are to
be at once thorough and artistic. 1t
is his intention to have the new War
rem Avenue Baptist church as attract
i've as is possible and still have it COM
patible with the uses Of a house of
worship"

The Connell building has been COM
pleted and is now ready for occupancy.
As can be seen it's advantages are
bringing numerous tenants. IL is in
every respect a credit to the city
and to it's architect, L. g. Holden.
III dcsirabilty OF location, perfection
of detail, elegance of appointments
and consideration as to beauty and
modern utility, it probably surpasses
any other office structure in this region.
The rich and classic exterior naturally
appeals to the observer at once. AL
though eight stories in height the no
BILE proportions give no effect of undue
altitude the great frontage of one
hundred feet adding much to its mass
i've and substantial appearance.
The large court within affords un-
usual opportunities for light and air,
and the outlook in this direction has
none of the sordid and unlovely ac-
cessories usually obtained from the
ordinary court.
The entrance is a special feature with
its handsome thing and costly fittings.
At night when the beautiful torch
chandeliers are aglow, the broad por-
tai and hallway attract much admira-
ton. The elevators at the rear are
perhaps the most satisfactory in the
city in smoothness of transit and
safety. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago they were subjected
to an unusual test which fully DEM
orstrated the impossibility of injury
to passengers in the event of break
in machinery or ropes. They are op-
Grated by a hydraulic system and are
in duplicates in every detail. They are
run until 10 o'clock at night and later
If tenants desire.
FIREPRoOF BUILDING.
The building is fireproof and such
care has been given to details of wir-
ing that it is impossible for the cleo
tricity to produce a conflagration. No
outside wires enter, as all telephone
and messenger lines are brought in by
conduits from the street to every Of
flee. Fireproof vaults and individual
safes also afford ample accommoda-
tions for the tenants. There are about
one hundred and twenty offices which
may be used ensuite, in pairs or singly.
They are very spacious and pleasantly
arranged, in some cases being grouped
around large ante-rooms. All are fin
ished in oak and richly paneled. There
are no dark rooms in the entire build
ing and much attention has been paid
TO ventilation. The tenants are pro-
vided with steam heat and electric
lights from the plant on the premises,
where machinery is duplicated for
emergencies. Superior janitor service
is also given, while automatic post
hnXaS as
elaborate electric apparatus was fur
nished by the Scranton Electric Con-
struction company.
The upper stories seem to he greatly
in demand because of the advantage
of coolness in summer. One of the
handsomest suites is that OF f. L.
Fuller and the Retsof Mining company
on the eighth floor, whose Ave rooms
are luxuriantly fitted up. The offices
in general are so attractive and desir-

John Urweider's Hunt for One May
Be Successful.

John Urweider, who made application
for wife to the Associated Chirities
agent, may be successful. A West Side
woman, German, the nationality pre-
ferred by Urweider, has written the
agent and the letter was referred to
the wife-seeker for further investiga-

Several women, any of whom, IT was
thought, might meet with favor in
Urweider's eyes, have been made ac-
quainted with his quest but none of
them was willing to take matrimonial
chances.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ca, Aug. 49,
The sick men in the regimental hospitals of
the Second and Third divisions of the First
Corps are being transferred as rapidly as
practicable to the Sternberg and other re-
serve hospitals in the park, where the ac-
Commodations are much better. than have
heretofore existed. The purpose is to clear
the two divisions of all their sick immedi-
ately leaving in the ranks only those who
are strong enough to stand a march of ten
miles. When this work is completed the d.
visions will be ready to leave for their new
camps. as far as preparations here are con-
cerned. Most of the convalescents have re-
ceived furloughs and are going to their
homes.
General Sanger, commanding the Third
Division, First Corps, returned from Lex
ington, KY, tonight, after having located
a suitable camp for his division. 1t is ex
pected that his division will leave Camp
Thomas the latter part Of this week, while
General McKee's division will leave as soon
'as he can make the necessary arrangements
about a camp.
The Associated Press news from Washing
tor this evening regarding the plan to mus
ter out volunteers has caused a feeling of
satisfaction in many of the camps over the
prospects of an early return to the peaceful
pursuits of home life. AS yet, however,
there is not feeling that interest in mill
tary affairs is at an end.
The elimination of all the interest of
camp life will come tomorrow, when A,O00
OF the volunteers. including the cavalry and
artillery. will pass in review at Camp
Thomas. The local interest in this event
is just such as would be manifested by the
whole country had all the people an op-
portunity to witness it. 1t will also be a
holiday for Chattanooga. Stores, banks and
business houses generally will be closed,
and the citizens of Chattanooga will turn
out in body to witness the pageantry. A
number of distinguished visitors are expect
ed to be present at the review.
A hospital train, consisting of six Pullman
seepers and one baggage car. left Chicka-
manga Park tonight and reached this city
at IL O'clock, containing 17S sick men and
in charge of Sergeant ]. S. Wheeler
physician and steward of a regimental hos
pital and FIVE private soldiers to assist In
transportation for all were obtained to-
night after reaching this city and the train
left for Portland, Me-, at Il O'Clock over the
Cincinnati Southern, the Big Four, the Lake
York Central, the Boston & Albany and the
Boston & Maine. The train was provided
by the Maine state authorities to carry
home the sick and convalescent men Of
jority of the men On the train are GONZALES
cents, although there are several who are
very sick and fears are entertained that
they may die on the road. The train was

caring for the sick.

MINERS WAGES MAY BE CUT.
Trouble Growing Out of n Reduction
in an Illinois District.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 16.-At a con-
ference of the national executive board of
the United Mine Workers and the operators
of the Virden subdistrict to-day, S. M.
Dalzell. president of the Illinois Operators
Association, read protest in behalf of the
association against any reduction in the
Virden district. Dalzell held that the scale
for the entire State was fixed by the ex-
ecutive committee representing all the OPP
orators. and scale committee representing
the United Mine Workers of Illinois, and It
was in the nature of a contract between
the two organizations He held that these
two committees were the only bodies that
had authority to change the scale. The ma
tional executive board was without jurisdic-
ton. The executive board met and overruled
the objection that it was without authority.
Other operators threaten to make d corre-
spending reduction in scale if the Virden
district mines resume at the reduction The
decision of the national executive board is
a victory for the Virden operators who APP
pealed to them.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. Is, evening"
White flags futter at the Spanish and
American outposts and all is quiet. The first
report of outrages by the Spaniards within
their lines was brought to the headquarters
of General Wilson to-day by a priest, who
headed q deputation from GALES, twenty
miles northeast of Utuado. The inhabitants
of the place raised an American flag after
the Spanish troops had left. The troops re-
turned, tore down the flag and macheted
ninety of the inhabitants. This occurred on
Saturday. The priest appealed to the Amer
leans for protection, but the latter are
powerless to interfere in the present cir
cumstances, even though a reign of terror
be inaugurated.
The Chester with the first engineers, Col.
Griffin, arrived to-day. Batteries A and G,
Of the Pennsylvania Light Artillery, the
Governors troop and Sheridan troop dis
embarked from the Manitoba and

soldiers life is to keep that precious rifle
in shape for instant inspection. And this
is no small item when the men are without
proper means for cleaning arms and 1t rains
every few hours. During one of the re-
cent rainy nights an officer of the guard
found that some of the sentinels did not
want to be relieved when their two hours
were up They explained that 1t was about
as comfortable pacing a beat as 1t was
standing up in the rain at the guardhouse
for four hours.
In these DAYS the company WAGNER is
the most popular man in the company. The
bed of his wagon always offers dry and
comparatively comfortable bed. 1t becomes
necessary each night for the first sergeant
to count noses in the wagons in order to
see that only sick men are allowed TO use
them as beds. Each company sends its all
ing men to the wagon during the night.
The men have a dread of hospitals and will
not go to the hospital except as a last re-
sort.
