WANTS AN EXECUTIVE BUILDING
Senator Lodges Bill for an Office for
 the President to Pass.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Senator Lodges bill for the construc- tion of an executive building for the spe- cisl use of the President on the unoccu- pied land just south of the treasury building can readily be passed at this ses- sion of Congress. The bill provides that in this separate executive building there should be reception rooms and a large state dining room on the first floor. The second floor would be given up to dressing rooms. offices for the executive clerks and the necessary files for documents and of ficial papers, which frequently accumu- late in the Presidents office in extraor- dinary numbers.
 The Lodge bill proposes to appropriate lump sum of $1,00O.000 to be expended under the direction of the President It seems to be the first reasonable solution of problem of how to provide a new ex- ecutive mansion without disturbing the historic old White House Mrs. Harrison had an elaborate plan made for various wings and extensions of the White House and Colonel Bingham, the present super intendent of public buildings, had re- lief model made along the same lines. Both of these propositions were con- demned by the architects generally, and besides that there has been a strong sentiment in favor of the strict pres- ervation of the old White House. which is associated with the history of the United States for more than a century.
 Under Senator Lodges plan the White House would remain as the residence of the President, The new executive building would be just across a private street which runs between the White House and the treasury.

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 As the advent of the new administration of city affairs approaches. announcement is made that the Pennsylvania Railroad will soon apply to the city for franchise for deep tunnel for an electric railroad under both rivers and under Manhattan Island to give the road a oity terminal and to connect it's lines with those of the Long Island Railroad. The plan includes joint underground terminal station at Seventh avenue and Thirty-third street.
 The railroad company that will build the tunnel road was. incorporated at Al- hany yesterday, and the railroad company that is to connect the tunnel road, in New Jersey, with the Pennsylvania Rail- road lines Is organizing. The news helps explain the announcement just made that so far as the Pennsylvania Railroad was concerned the proposal to bridge the North river had been relegated to an in- definite future and the conclusion of the Pennsylvania Railroad authorities that terminal tunnel can best be operated by electricity will be interesting to the New York Central people.
 President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company made this statement yesterday:
 "The Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is now prepared to carry out it's policy, long since adopted, of extending it's rail- road into New York City therein estah- fishing a suitable passenger terminus for the accommodation of the public.
 '"To accomplish this on a comprehensive plan the Long Island Extension Railroad Company will withdraw Its application for powers to construct it's terminal rail- road and in lieu of such independent construction it is now proposed to build under the charter of the Pennsylvania Company just organized, and a New Jersey railroad company, about to be or ganized a through underground connec- IA -A-AA A-AA -A-AA Al A A A-A A n-<

Tiaht Money in New York.

Tennessee Coal and Iron" and other stocks fell several points on Thurs Hay, because call money commanded l2 per cent, and time money 6 per cent. Gold is going to Europe, and currency to the interior to move cot. ton and wheat at least, and the money market in New York is not equal to all the demands made upon it. These demands are lessened by raising the rates of interest, and the holders of securities fear that the rate may be raised still higher.

JUDGE RICHARDSON.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Although 1t is true, as The Post said the other day, that Southern statesmen do not now affect the white cambric tie, an exception must be noted in the person of Judge Richardson, of Alabama, who succeeds Gen. Joe Wheeler in Congress.
 Judge Richardson is a statesman of the old school with smooth-shaven face that recalls pictures of Daniel Webster or Henry Clay Ever since he went upon the bench. thirty years ago, he has worn a white tie and a low-cut vest and he would not change his customs now for all the world. He is a splendid story teller and Is always sure of an audience in the cloak rooms.

Twain Made Him Uncomfortable.

'T met Mark Twain on river steam CT when he was a very young man" said a Westerner who travels through the South. At that time he was rather a gaunt young fellow with the usual South ern manners and drawl peculiar to the river towns in Missouri Something in my appearance attracted his attention and he made me very uncomfortable by continually staring at me. It so hap pened that I wore an Indian moccasin on one foot, having been injured shortly before.
 Finally I became exasperated at this continual staring and with some irrita- tion I demanded to know if he had ever seen me before. He looked me over care fully and drawled:
 "'Well-Y ur-face-is-familiar." Then he dropped his eyes to the deck with a troubled frown. 'But-I-can't-recal your-feet.'

sponded to the efforts of the clergy.
The schoolhouses and halls have been
well filled, the attention has been
close and earnest words of ,houghtful-
ness have been spoken. Ours is mar

thoughts, it's occupation, it's life.
What are other people thinkinghbout?
What is the trend of opinion else
where? How goes the big world be-
yOnd our confines? TO broaden our
horizon, to enlarge our thoughts, to
drive out idle talk, to deepen our life,
these lectures are given, this year.

with them and the clergy will be fully
repaid for their efforts by good audien-
ces and careful attention. Rev o. o.
