WORLDS FAIR ARCHITECTURE
The Peristyle Restored-It VIII
Form an Architectural Screen
For the Terrace of States.

St. Louis, April 16.-The imposing
peristyle created by Architect Cass
Gilbert, of New York, a complete sys-
TEN of columns with entablature, fol-
lowing the great hill curve of the
Worlds fair cascade gardens, has
been restored to that artistic scheme.
1t forms a delicate veil of screen
for, the facade of the Art palace, and
serves to connect Festival hall and
the pagoda cafes, which, from the
ce%nterpiece and extremes of the Ter
race of States, besides closing the
great court of the exposition in
which lie the grand basin and the
main lagoon.
Designer-in-Chief Masqueray and his
staff are completing the sketches of
the peristyle. This effect will be
wrought out of the fourteen heroic
groups of sculpture, epitomizing, in
marble, the history of the fourteen
original states of the Louisiana Pur-
chase, each group being connected by
an unbroken series of Ionic columns
with entablature, tying the whole in
artistic harmony.
Originally, the peristyle was a
monolithic temple of columns, of
which the round structure, nowknown
as Festival hall, was the c~enterpiece,
crowned by an oval dome, while the
present pagoda cafes were the ex-
IRENE ends of the semicircular tenn
pie. When the temple effect was torn
away, to save the expense which was
needed in additional room for the
Art building proper, the three circu-
lar buildings were left isolated on
the crest Of the hill.
The architecture Of these three
smaller buildings was more richly
embellished, but the great gaps of
nearly one-sixteenth of a mile re-
manned to emphasize the isolation of
the buildings, overawed by the 1900
feet of facade presented by the Art
palace. The Art palace was moved
back $50 feet into the forest of the
plateau. Still, the Festival hall and
its sister pagodas looked lost in the
impressive natural surroundings. The
idea of the sculptures, tpyifying, in

allegory, the progress of the thirteen
original states, was born in the mind
OF Director of Works Taylor.
1t relieved the perspective of the
picture from the main court on the
lagoon level, but the first principles
of art seemed to demand a greater
compactness. Then the artists re-
turned to the idea of the New York
architect. Between the groups of
sculpture OF the states were intro
duced Ionic columns Joined at the
lines OF their capitals by an entabla-
ture or roof which bound them to-
gether. Much of the original group
ing of these pillars, as conceived by
Mr.. Gilbert, has been preserved in
the latest treatment of the architec-.
tural center of the exposition.

Denver, Col, April 16.-Startling de-
velopments nave come to light re-
garding the death of Representative
Albert Gabrin, who died at his home
in this city early on the evening of
January s, from what was then sup
posed to be acute gastritis, %superin-
duced by fermented wine used in
making a mixed drink, which he and
other members of his family con-
sumed at a family reunion on New
Years day.
Shortly after his death DR.. Wilder
performed an autopsy, removing the
stomach and portions of other in
ternal organs. Theses with samples of
the wine used in the punch were
turned over to Dr.. Hillkowitz, who
made chemical analyses. He has filed
with DR.. Kleiner, the physician who
attended Mr.. Gabrion when he died,
his report on what he found.
DR.. Hillkowitz says he found large
quantities of arsenic in the wine and
traces of the poison in the internal
organs, especially in. the stomach.
The chemical analyses show that
there were three and one-half grains
of arsenic to a tumbler full of wine.
Such an amount could never be as
cribed to any accidental impurity in
the wine, says the chemists report.
The death of Mr.. Gabrin is to be in.
vestigated by the Woodmen, of which
society he was a member in good
standing at the time of his death. He
carried a large life insurance policy.

Muscatine. June 21.-With veGeta
profusion hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of bees in Iowa and Hi
nois are starving to death. For three
weeks rains have fallen almost every
day and have washed the flowers and
tree bloom clean of nectar and pollen,
on which the bees live and lay UP heir
stores. A peculiar feature of the mat
ter is that none but adept bee raisers
become aware of the true state of af-
fairs until they find their bees lying
dead by thousands outside the hives,
and on investigation the hives them
selves are found absolutely cleanel of
all honey. The ordinary raiser sees his
bees lying outside the hive as if they
were preparing to swarm. This IS
where he is deceived for in reality they
are bees which have left their own
emptied hive and are in front %
neighbor hive seeking to rob it Of its
supplies. Bees are wise little creatures
in this time of famine, and it is found
that they have killed all the drones
which are honey consumers and d.
stroyed the queen cells, thus prevent
ing an increase in numbers. So not only
does the bee raiser face the calamity IF
no honey crop this season, but also of
no increase in the number of his hives
by swarming. Experienced raisers are
advising the feeding of the bees a.
once to save the old ones at all. The
food recommended is to take equal
parts of granulated sugar and war.
