not mean dress alone. It does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, 80 far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfgured by unsightly

blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of

The great damage done to the United
States supreme court room few days
ago by an explosion of gas and by fire
recalls the plan inaugurated some
eight years ago by Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, for a Building of Justice -
as it was to have been called. His
plan was for the purchase of a solid
square of land Immediately adjoining
the congressional library on the north,
and the erection thereon of building
sufficiently large for the accommoda-
ton of the United States supreme
court. the court of claims, the attor-
ney generals Office, the appellate court
of the District of Columbia, and the
law library. Morrilrs plan was re-
ceived with great favorrby the Senate
a bill passing that branch of Congress
in the Fifty-first Congress appropriate
ing 100000 for the purchase of the
necessary land. but the House refused
to pass the bill and the project failed
Senator Morrill,, however, is confident
that the erection of such building as
the Building of Justice would make
the great Capital square one of the
most, if not the most magnificen,
squares in the world, and he is still
working away at his plans with ar
energy that is admirable. At each
session of Congress he has renewed his
efforts to secure the necessary appro.
priations and there is now pending be-
| 1ore the Senate just such measure.

numerous obituaries heaped upon her,
bids fair to join the American navy,
after all. She refused to sink when

to raise her from her resting place on
the beach of Cat Island be successful,

as day of general Thanksgiving, and I
recommend that all citizens of our State
on that day refrain from all unnecessary

and assist the poor and unfortunate, for
no more acceptable devotion can grace
Thanksgiving day than charity and be-
ksnevolence.
