MORE BUILDING AFTER FAIR.
THE two prime reasons why there has
not been ar era of o~verbuild;ng in st.
Louis are: First. the generally conserva-
tive character of our people. accentuated
by a general understanding among fnan-
ciai men that they would not encourage
such an era; and second, the construction
Of the Worlds Fair buildings has so ad-
yanced the price of material and labor
that individuals have largely concluded TO
postpone their improvements WILL AFTER
the Fair.
Al matters considered. we feel here
that there will be more building the year
after the Fair than there was the year
before the Fair.
This. / believe, gives the facts rather
than opinions.
I'm this connection. I wish to state that

In relation to the probable condition and re-

IL has heretofore. There are certain sections
OF the city which have never been supplied. and

THREE FISHERs.n

the gray columns of the waterspouts,

themselves on the pebbles In frutless

scenes lived ever In his mind.
But the ''Three Fishers was written
as result of one of the strangest Incl,

Message OF the Church TO the Laboring
Man" At its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for

and seen ifs author, he withdrew the

delivered his discourse Kingsley went

he reappeared he handed to his family
