proper protection of the state.
III, as has been alleged in some quar-
tars, this is a contractors battle, the
State journal has no sympathy with
that phase of it. If it can be estab-
lished that the specifications are not
as rigid as they should be, then the
public will rejoice to have the defects
pointed out and the weak points
strengthened. If, however, the fight
Is made principally upon the failure
Of the commission to properly OBJ
serve the intent and purpose of the
law under which it was organized in
the selection of site, then the move
will be heralded with general salts
faction.
AS the State Journal demonstrated
when the site was first selected, very
large proportion of the members Of
the legislature would never have vot-
ed for the bill had they supposed the
proposed building would be erected as
an addition to the state capitol to mar
its symmetry and injure the beauti-
ful grounds. The State Journal has
had no reason to change the opinion
then expressed-that the commission
made great mistake in deciding to
build in the statehouse park instead
Of selecting a new site where struc-
ture could be erected that would be
wor,ny Of the state Of Ohio.
If the proceedings which have been
brought to test the commissions all
thority rest upon these grounds and
are not merely the result of some con-
tractors pique, they will be generally
welcomed by the people of Columbus
as possibly paving the way for some
thing very much better than the pres
ent commission has planned.-Ohio

John Sherman's Wealth.

Much Of ex-Secretary John Sher-
mans wealth was made by fortunate
investments in Washington real estate
Some years ago he and another gentle
man bought what was then the Stone
farm on Columbia heights, now the
fashionable residence district Of the
city. They bought about 400 acres at
about four cents square; foot and
soon sold portion of 1t at three or
four times the cost Now much of, the
land is worth 81 square foot, and it
is estimated that Mr. Sherman still
owns about 5000 worth OF the prop
erty.-Columbus Dispatch.

Revolution. General Washington
willed this tract of land to Mary e.
Custis, who afterwards married a
Rodgers, who died. and his son be-
came the owner of the land; daugh-
ter of the second Rodgers, an heir, be-
came the owner. She married Kirby

Smith, of this city, and the considera-
ton was $4,000.
The parties to the purchase were

Good Health the Latest Fad 70

women,
It is one of the most encouraging
signs of the times that women no
longer "enjoy poor health.
The popular girl today is the ath-
letic girl, the girl who is literally cap
able Of padding her own canoe, the
girl with red cheeks and a light,
springy step, the girl to whom life and
health are synonymous terms and
whoes mind is as clear as her COM
pleXion.
1t is actually the fashion to be
healthy; not only to have every vital
organ in excellent running order, but
to have supple muscles, nerves in use
only as telegraph system for the
brain, and askin deliciously pink and
white, and all the result of exercise
and cleanliness.
1t is impossible to be attractively
healthy without being cleanly, or
cleanly without in some measure i'm
proving the physical condition. Alb
solute cleanliness, combined with
few minutes each day devoted to sys-
tematic, practical physical culture ex-
ercise, will surely mean at least COM
parative health t0 every busy woman,
whether her duties are of a social,
business or domestic nature.-Dem-

The Statehouse Injunction Case.


The injunction proceedings which
were begun Saturday against the
statehouse commission are more sur
prising in their allegations than in the
fact that they were filed.
1t has been rumored for some time
that there. was a possibility of the
course of the commission in selecting
the location being tested in the courts
by citizens who felt that il was an
outrage to place the proposed struc-
ture on the statehouse grounds. The
right of the commission under the
law to place structure on the capital
grounds is in doubt and 1t is well to
have the courts pass upon the act be-
fore any further expense be incurred.
The petition itself, however, bears
some evidence of having been insti-
gated by disappointed contractors
who desire to force the commission
into drawing specifications more
suited to their purpose than those up-
on which bids have been asked. This
is unfortunate, as it complicates the
question upon which the people of Co
iumbus would like to see direct is
sue made. The provision pohiDiting
the subletting Of contracts is said to
have been chiefly Objectionable to
some contractqrs, and it may be that
the Injunction proceedings have
grown out Of this and other require
ments which the commission very
justly considered. necessary for tae.

the last sentence one might be inclined
to believe that the paragraph was writ

does it expose the discrepancy between
the reports of the ineffable Sampson

last sentence. accusing the President of
cowardice and double dealing, shows

Harper's Weekly should insist on the

is nothing in the official reports to indi-
cate that Schley did not behave as well
as he ought to have behaved. They are
mainly given up to a desperate at

made no claim. The bluejackets on
Schley's ship have their opinions, which
are lively, and they have not scrupled

affair, including the order to paint

This afternoon Kenney took the stand in

evening.
He said ne had known Boggs- several
years. but not socially" He related that
in November, 1854, Boggs had come to him
as a client. and during a talk OF ten or
fifteen minutes declared that he was in
trouble at the bank. Kenney advised his
client to get his friends and relatives to
help him adjust his affairs. He never
learned whether Boggs had settled the
matter, and did not know TO the contrary
until the day Boggs fed. The senator
then testified in detail of his transactions
with the bank, declaring that he never
had any understanding with Boggs that
his checks were TO be paid out Of the
funds of the bank. He also testified to
having loaned Boggs several checks after
the latters admission OF trouble at the
bank" He declared. however that ne
always paid up when his account was
overdra wn, and had several times been
notified that his balance was not sufficient
to meet his checks On one particular
point. concerning a draft of $3.50 that
Roggs had deposited TO kenney's account
for collection, the senator said that his
memory was very vague" Between the
time Boggs made his admission and the
time he fed the senator had constant
business dealings at the bank, but only as

Now, IL the official reports OF the Santiago cam
