dorothy Deane."
Ellen Olney Kirk has written more
than usually delightful story for chill
dren-it makes charming reading even
for grown-ups. Dorothy Deane is a
little girl who had the misfortune to
live in early New England times, and
the greater misfortune-if greater mis-
fortune can be conceiVed-to make her
home with a grandmother and maiden
aunt, who have the most sincere de-
sire to rear the poor child IN humility
and righteousness. However, Little
Dorothy's life is not path OF barren
duty-it is well nigh impossible to
cheat the young of freedonl-and some
of the brightness comes from the we'll
drawn dramatic little figure Of Marcia
Dundas, child with a woman's bur-
den on her small shoulders and a
woman's pluck to carry it. IL the WIS.,
its to the Dundas kitchen were almost
stolen, it was in self-protection against
virtue too rigid to endure. The book
is delightfully."- written and far removed
from the maWkish sentiment of many
books intended for young readers.

To The ST. Paul Globe
1t is probable that the late little cam
paign against the Pillager band of
Chippewa Indians may breed many
changes in the logging system now in
vogue at the Leech Lake reservation,
changes that will inure to the benefit
of the government and protect the in
terests OF its re6-skinned wards
Every intelligent man knows that,
under present conditions, the door 10
fraud is more than ajar-it is wide
open and the latch gone Logging is
conducted on the reservation in a care
less and perfunctory manner, resulting
i'll loss to the Indians and the United
States, the destruction of much yalu-
able timber and the exploitation and
misrepresentation of what should be
sacred trust fund.
The system, as at present conducted,
While giving some temporary assis-
lance to the Indians, offers a premium
for dishonesty. Of course, forest fires
have occurred. and will occur, natural
ly and without a pecuniary incentive to
start them; but it is a self-evident pro-
position, requiring no demonstration to
anybody but jfbbering idiot, that,
when the present class of dead-and-
down timber shall be exhausted per
haps before), it will be to the interest
of loggers to see that there Is a supply
to meet their demands.

through the live timber are, as to width

THREE INTERESTING DESIGNS.
Good Work shown by II Promising
Young Local Architect.

The numerous friends of Harvey ].
BlackNood, the promising young ar
chitect, as well as students oi arChi-
lecture generally, will be interested in
three designs from his pen which are
now on exhibition in this city.
One of these, a drawing of a proposed
Symphony hall, is in the show window
of Frank O'Hara's cigar store on
Spruce street. The front elevation of
the Scranton Savings bank, which
made such very decided impression
in the competition for It's young archi-
tect, is also on exhibition alongside of
a drawing of IN eighteen story mod
ern sky scraper, in the show window
of Howard Beidleman's book store, al
most next door to the store in which
tbe Symphony hall is on exhibition.
1t needs but a glance at Mr.. Black
woods drawing of the bank to see the
excellence of his design. The pedi-
ment as may be seen by the drawing,
is not treated by any carving, the ar
chitcct intending this point to he a
matter of taste with the board of di-
rectors. The graceful division of win
dows and their artistic treatment, to-
gether with the beautiful Roman Cor
inthian deatils, attract the eye imme-
diately.
The eighteen story sky scraDer,
which is in the same window with the
bank drawing, is an excellent example
of the modern building. The impres-
sion which it gives to the observer is
that of grand monument of colossal
proportions. The details of the first
four stories, or base, are beautiful. TIE
middle portion has the monotony brok-
en- very cleverly by balconies on al
ternate stories The top portion of the
building possesses most graceful lines
with bold treatment of details. The
style OF the proposed Symphony hall is
Spanish-ltalan. The form of the
building is that of an octagon, but that
nt the first floor Of the auditorium Is
round. The balcony overhangs the cir
cular partition and on the SIDES fol-
lows the lines of the octagon. Around
the building is twenty-foot veranda
with heavy glass walk Underneath
are rooms which will be used as art
exhibit rooms, also side rooms to the
ball room, which is directly under the
auditorium. The form of the ball
room is circular with a diameter of
seventy feet. The sealing capacitv of
the auditorium is 900
There is a most excellent treatment
as well as original in all of these three
drawings, and this young architect
may well feel proud of his recent Gre
ations, from the standpoint of both the
draushtsman and the designer.

STEAM PIPE BURSTS.
Three Meu Were Burned and a Build
ing Somewhat Wrecked.

BY the bursting of a large steam pipe
in the engine room of Jonas Longs
Sons department store, yesterday
morning, three men were painfully in
ured, the building was damaged and
q general commotion occasioned.
The engine room is in a separate
brick building at the rear of the store
and the pipe in question, a Az inch
Cast-iron one is carried overhead from
the boiler-house to supply the three
engines, two of which are for running
the electric motors and one for fur
nishing power to the pneumatic tube
cash carrying system.
This latter engine was completed yes
terday and the steam was turned on
to make a test of it, Water had col
lected in the supply pipe and this pre-
vented the free passage of the steam.
There was a deafening noise as of
rapid, heavy hammering and the next
moment the pipe snapped in twain,
just above the last elbow. The force
of the explosion hurled the last length
of the pipe against the thirteen-inch
brick wall, knocking a hole in 1t just
below the caves, large enough for
man to crawl through. The escaping
steam filled the room in a flash and
caused the six men at work there to
beat wild retreat.
Engineer j. r. Harris, of this city,
was scalded on the back of his neck
and right forearm; John ID. Wander
walker, foreman of the Lamson Cash
Carrier system, of Boston, who was
experimenting the work of putting in
the engine, sustained a painful abras-
ion of the left leg in jumping through
a window, and his assistant, l.. NJ
Lamson, Of this city, who tried to get
out without first raising the sash, had
both hands badly cut.
Despite his burns, Engineer Harris
with good presence of mind, ran around
to the boiler room and turned off the
steam, which at the time was at eighty
pounds pressure.
The explosion and the clouds of es-
Gaping steam caused a panic for d
time among the army of clerks in the
store and before this was queted more
excitement bobbed up from without, a
large crowd having collected upon the
spread of a rumor to the effect that
the boilers had blown up, with all
kinds OF consequences. That nothing
more serious resulted is attributable
| most to great good fortune. Four of
the men in the engine room We're yes
terday engaged in putting an abestos
covering on the very section of the
pipe that burst. At the time of the
explosion, however, it happened that
none of them We're on the scaffolding
Engineer Harris had his burns
dressed at the store and was sent home
in cab by Manager Hawthorne. The
other injured men, after having their
cuts bandaged up, stayed around to
oversee the work on the engines.

REARRANGEMENT OF OFFICES.
Changes That will BE Made at the
Court House Monday.

Next Monday, with the incoming of
the new county officials there will be
a rearrangement of the location of sew
eral of the offices. The recorder will
have the large room at present occu-
pied by the register together with the
present recorders apartment, both of
which are needed to accommodate the
business of that office. The registers
office will be located in the county
surveyors room, at the north end of
the lower corridor, and the surveyor
will be furnished with apartments in
one of the tower rooms.
An archway will connect the record
er's two apartments and the register S
new Office will be enlarged by the ad-
dition of the space now used as a pass
ageway to the prothonotary's private
office. The passageway will be walled
up at either end and a vault built
therein for the register.
