PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Some Contrasts in the Matter of
Delay and Cost.

W. f. Curtis in Chicago Record.
The new city hall at Philadelphia IS
called the Penn Holder" because
there is a statue of William Penn on
the top of the tower, and it has cost
up to jan l, 1900, the sum of 1922, sol, =
$50, or seven millions more than the
capitol at Washington and nearly four
times as much as the new congress
sional library. Strangers who visit
Hartford are always told that the new
statehouse of Connecticut. which is one
OF the most beautiful structures in
the world, was not only built within
the estimates, but many thousands of
dollars of the appropriation that re-
mained uneXpended was turned back
into the treasury. 1t Is claimed by
Hartford people that this is the only
public building of any size in the
United States of which the same can
be said, and the virtue of the state
house trustees has made everybody
very conceited on the other hand,
the Philadelphia people brag about the
amount of money that has been stolen
from the city hall appropriations dur
ing the long years II has been un-
der discussion and declare that it is the
biggest Job" that was ever known in
the United States, excepting, perhaps.
the statehOuSe at Albany. The latter
has cost $24,2441O2 upto date, or nearly
5000, 900 more than the penn Holder"
and it has been a race to see which
could occupy the longest time in con-
struCtion,
The capitol at Albany was com
menced in 1868, and one corner was first
occupied in 1879, the remainder in 1889.
The Philadelphia city hall was begun
in 1870 and portion of it was occu-
pied in 1880, the entire building in 1887.
At the time work was commenced the
population Of the city was 65O,OOO. It
is now 1,75O,OO0. Then there We're fifty

CLANCEY FAMILY AGAIN.
Members of It Accuse One Another
Before Alderman Millar.

VIII Clancy, of Luzerne street, yes-
terday went before Alderman w. S.
Millar and swore out a warrant for
Jack Torsney and his brother, Patrick
Clancy, whom he charged with as
sault and battery. He is an exceeding
ly small man, standing under five feet
and being of a very slight build. His
face was badly swollen and he present.
ed very pitiable appearance. Al z
o'clock the two defendants were
brought into the office and were held
In $500 bail by the alderman for their
appearance at court. They are both
big burly fellows, either of whom
weigh about twice as much as the
prosecutor.
An unexpected turn was given the
case, however, by Michael Clancy,
father of Will and Patrick. Clancey,
senior, is even smaller than willie"
as he affactionately calls his little 80
year-old son, when he appeared before
Alderman Millar to prefer charges
against Willie. The magistrate had TO
put his glasses on to see him. Willie
was accused of assaultlnG his father
and a warrant was issued. He will
be given his hearing some time today.

SHE HAD TAKEN GAS.
Shock from a Fall Induced a Cata-
leptic Fit.

Save for severe headache, Miss
Mary Mason, of $40 Charles street, was
yesterday fully recovered from the ac-
cidcnt which befel her the night before
at the Hotel Jermyn corner.
She says she was running for the
street car, and did not notice the tele-
phone company's excavation until she
stumbled into it.
DR.. O'Malley, who attended her at
Phelps drug store, had to work an
hour and quarter before he succeeded
in restoring her to consciousness. In
his opinion, the shock of the fall in
duced sort of catalepsy. She had
been having teeth extracted and took
gas. This tended to supcrinduce the
cataleptic condition. The fact that
there were no abrasions or other Wis
ible injuries confirmed the doctor in his
diagnosis.

Admiral Dewey's Candidacy.

If those responsible for Admiral
Dewey's unouncement of his candi-
dacy for the presidential nomination
have the remotest idea that he can get
the Democratic nomination away from
Colonel Bryan, they have another guess
coming to them. There is not Demo-
crat IN either branch of congress, in
sympathy with the Chicago platform,
who does not regard Colonel Bryan's
omination as already made, and the
'hansas City convention as national
meeting that will be held to ratify that
nomination.
Admiral Dewey says he is Democrat
and has always been one, but that he
that stat ement when he first returned
from Manila when his friend, Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, was repeatedly
declaring that he was Republican, it
would have carried more weight. But
anyway, Democrats who do not vote are
not the sort of Democrats who help the
party to win elections or who deserve
Office from the party. If Admiral
Dewey becomes an independent candi-
date for preside at, he will render ma
terial aid towi .rds the election of
Colonel Bryan, as he would probably get
votes which woul otherwise 90 to Nc

Look for the Warning.

Heart disease kills suddenly, but
never without warning. The warn
ings may be faint and brief or may
be startling and extend over many
years, but they are none the less
certain and positive. Too often the
victim is deceived by the thought,
sit will pass away" Alas, it never
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
ter of itself. If DR.. Miles Heart
Cure is used in the early stages re-
covery is absolutely certain in every
case where its use is persisted in.

ferer from heart disease before !
