WILL BE THE NEW CITY HALL
Which Great Birmingham Will Proceed to Erect-Spacious Chambers For the Peoples Business Will Be
 Provided-Splendid Building

A meeting of the city hall committee was held in the council chamber yesterday morning and plans were laid for the erec- tion of the new building
 The committee took a tour through all the present buildings, and after a thor ough investigation practically decided on the arrangement of the different floors in the new city hall. The question of keeping a regular city market has not yet been defi- nitely settled. but the plans have been ordered to be drawn so that the market can be included or left out.
 The new building will have a frontage of 40 feet in Nineteenth street and run back 200 feet to the city's open court be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets and open in Fourth avenue.
 An arched entrance twenty feet wide wide will be built in the center of the building on the Nineteenth street side, and on each side of it three store rooms will be built, each twenty feet wide. From the entrance a corridor will run back to the present court at the rear of the building, and in the center of this corridor an eleva- tor will be placed.
 On the Fourth avenue side the fire de- partment will be located and space left so that it can be used either for a city market or stores.
 The city jail will remain where it is two stories being added to its height. The court which now runs around the jail will be maintained. There will also be ten foot entrance leading into the main corri- dor and jaining it at the elevator.
 All city offices will be located on the sec ond floor and the treasurer will be provid- ed with a steel vault which will be located n the rear of the building. A court room will also be located on this floor for the use of the Inferior Criminal Court. The prisoners will be brought from the jail across bridge which will be built to the second ficor of the new building.
 The council chamber will be on the third floor and will occupy a space of sixty by eighty feet. Room will also be left for a lobby. large portion of this floor will also be set apart for offices to rent. Four committee rooms will be built for the use of the City Council and the Police Com mission.
 The fourth floor will contain large hall to be used for an armory.
 The basement will be sixty by one hun dred feet and will be used for boiler room electrical plant and machinery. A testing room will also be provided there for the city engineer
 From this outline of the ideas of the committee City Engineer Kendricle will be instructed to draw plans for submission to the architects. To hurry the erection of the building, it has been decided to require the architects to submit plans within thir- ty days. Mayor Drennen said yesterday afternoon that he feels confident that work of tearing down the old building will be be- gun before the expiration of sixty days.

That Bunco Game.

A great deal of Mckinley boasting
may be expected as result of the
placing in this county of $25, OOO, 900
of British bonds. That is an explana-
ton, we shall be told, of what becomes
of our enormous export balance of
1850. 100000. Upon S25,O0O,OOO of it
we are drawing interest from British
taxpayers! See? But So, 1000. 900 is a
very small proportion of 1,5OO, OOO, 900,
which is the amount in round num-
bers of our export balance during the
Mckinley administration down to the
31st of May. Besides, our excessive
exports for June alone amount to
double all these British bonds. Yet
we are shipping gold to pay for the
bonds. Why do we ship gold if the
foreigner already owes us 81, SOC, 900,
600? Isn't it because in fact he doesn't
owe us anything? Isn't that boosted
excess of exports after all good deal

q. for SImplicItv.

An old-time New Yorker contributes
to the Sun significant lament, whose
refrain is: 30, for simplicity" This
writer admits that the so-called high
society of the metropolis deserves
criticism, ''for it's frivolty is childish
and its display is barbaric." Compar-
ison of the social standards in New
York a generation ago with those of
the present time shows an unwhole-
some change. Of superficial elegance
there is more, but of genuine culture
there is less. Wealth has largely SUI
perseded refinement as a test of adj
mission to society.

The New Woman and M..r,mouy.

The New York World "views with
alarm" the founding of an athletic
club for women in that city. It can
see in the muscular woman only a
menace to matrimony and to mans
happiness. 1t is sure the timid young
men of New York will cease entirely
to contemplate the complicated prob
lem of marriage if they must be
united to fair young beings who are
their superiors in agility, strength
and physical endurance. The inev-
table result will be the adding of
matrimoDy to the list of lost arts.
