in the main saloon of the steamship st.
Paul bronze tablet, bearing the yes
sells war record, which has been COM

club.
Designs were called for from some of
the leading designers Of the country but
II creditable design can be secured

executed by local artisans, it is thought
expedient that such be utilized, thus MAX
Ing it truly monument to home talent.
The steamship was christened EST.
Paul. after this city, in the presence of
some of its distinguished citizens. She
was later donated with valuable library
by Its citizens to commemorate this event.
She was converted into a cruiser for use
during the war with Spain, and was an
important adjunct to the navy. She was
commanded by Capt. Sigsbee, Of the
Maine, who has shown his appreciation
of st. Paul by carefully compiling war
record of the ship to be used by the Com
mercial club for the tablet. Since her re-
has donated to the club the Bible which
was used while the vessel was In naval
service. This valuable book is on exhibit
| ton in the Grub rooms, with Capt Sigs-
bees note contributing the book to the
club written on fly leaf.
The design for this tablet should be
symbolic of the ships services and his
tory.
With this object in view designs ex-
ecuted in pencil or crayon on paper will
be received until March 2, 1900, when they
will be labeled by number and opened for
inspection by the public at an appointed
time in the club parlors, and the best Sc
Eected and the successful contestant

made by special committee of the club
having the matter in charge, which is to
be advised by disinterested representative
artists of the city.
The size of the tablet is to be two feet
by three feet. The greater dimension
may e-either vertical or horizontal,
whichever way is preferable to the de-
signer TO produce the best results.
The available space for printed matter
which is not to be inserted by the de-
signer, should equal In area about two
feet square. Heavy or light relief work
will be left wholly to the judgment of the
designer.
The design Is to be used by the modeler
for producing the matrix for the casting.
None but full-sized sketches will be &C
ceptable In this contest.
The tablet will be installed upon the
ship amid appropriate ceremonies and
the designers name given prominence.

FELL WITH A CRASH.
Fall of Life-Size Painting of Lincoln
in White House Startled Mckinley.

Washington, Nov. 20.-With a crash
that resounded through the length and
breadth of the White House, the heay-
1ly framed life-size painting Of Abraham
Lincoln fell from its place on the wall
of the famous east room this afternoon.
The noise was so great that it was
heard distinctly by the president and
Mrs Mckinley in the residential portion
Of the mansion, and they sent a mes
senger in haste to learn the cause.
The portrait of the martyred president
was painted especially for the White
House, and is one of four that hang in
the east room. the others being those
Of George and Martha Washington and
Thomas jefferson
It was suspended from cornics over
one of the windows and this cornice had
given way. The gilt frame of the pic
ture was broken to atoms, but, FORUM
ateiy, so far as a cursory examination
exception of a few slight scratches, es-
capped injury
A minute search Of the canvas will be
made, however, as the portrait is said
to be the best extant of President Lin
coin. and Mr.. Mckinley has given orders
that any damage to it be Immediately
repaired.
What caused the accident is not known
with certainty, but as worlxmen have
recently been rebuilding a staircase in
the east wing 1t is supposed the constant
hammering loosened the cornice. The
incident is important at this time in
ssmuch as it will likely result in direct
ing the attention of the congress that
is to soon assemble to the dilapidated
state of the White House.

A BOLD THIEF.
Saws Hole Through Show Window
Floor and Gets Diamonds.

Erie, Pa, Nov. 20-While the store was
full of customers, hundreds of people
passing the window and a matchmaker
working not six feet away from him, a
daring thief stole a tray of diamonds
valued at 81. 500 from S. Loeb, a fashion
able jeweler, and had been gone an hour
before the robbery was discovered.
The proprietor of the store and the
police are astounded at the novel and
daring tactics of the robber. He had
secured entrance to the cellar and sawed
his way through the floor into the box
which forms the floor of the display win
dow. Then he sawed through the thin
boards until he had a hole six inches
wide and a. foot long, the sawdust being
hidden by the tissue paper on which the
jewels were displayed.
This hole gave him access to the tray
of diamonds, which he tipped on edge
permitting the glittering shower of
Jewels to slide down into the window
box. The tray was replaced over the
hole, and it was not until a clerk went
to display the gems to a customer that
the theft was discovered.
There is scant hope of apprehendfng
the robber, as it is known he departed
from the basement of the store fully
an hour before the proprietor discovered
his loss.
