the council chamber, the Governor s
room and the reception room has ar
rived. and is fast being put in position
by the carpenters. The work is well
along, and though the three rooms are
still Uttered with shavings and other
debris one can get an idea of how they
will look when finished. The finish of
the ceiling is very pretty, and when
| decorated will present a most pleasing
| effect. 1t is said that the walls will
be finished in a light green tint. The
furniture of the rooms will be of ma
hOgany, and it will require no stretch
of the imagination to see that the
rooms will be one of the handsomest
suites in the State House.
| Two additional nominations have
been made by the Governor, for dele

Prison Association, which will be held
at Louisville, KY, October IS, inclus-
i've. They are Mrs. Helen Coffin
Beede of Bangor. and Mrs. Hannah
Bailey of Winthrop.
