when the twin buildings, the county building and the city hall, were complet- cd, little was known of architecture, compared with the modern knowledge. The structure never was a work of art. ?
 It is very difficult matter to heat the rooms, 1t costs enormously to try to keep the place clean, and the waste of hall space makes much ground to travel over, takes up space that should have been utilized for office room. There seems no dissenting voice in regard to urgency of need for a. new building.
 It has been proposed that there be two distinct buildings, and that each be given sufficient space to allow of a set ting of green lawn, the structure to set well back from the street Mayor liar. rlson thinks it should not be on the of. lce-building order, but should have an individuality of it's own, stand as one of the artistic features of the city. The mayor, judges. President Brundage of the county board, county and city off, ctals generally, are enthusiastic over a new building; plans of various sorts are proposed.

train. cried at thetop of his lungs: "Ex- tra. Extra. All about the scandal in the city hall. Fifty lives lost."
 Perhaps. after all the waif was not SO far off. for numbers of lives have been sacrificed to the rococo structure that spreads over the space bounded by Washington. Clark. Randolph and La Sale streets. It is positively affirmed that workers in the building have had their lives shortened because of the con dtions obtaining there. conditions un- equalled in any tenement house in the city. Light and air struggle intellectual ly to enter the rooms, the deep window lodges are traps for germ-laden dust, which is widely scattered through the vault-like rooms. The offices are so congested. there is so much overcroud- ing. sanitary rules cannot be needed.
 Scandal there was connected with the county building when il was under con- structioD. a political scandal that not in frequently attends a big job of this sort It was erected in the years between 1878 and 1885. and cost s4 foo .00o. The pile consists of county hall fronting on Clark street a city hall on La Salle The two are connected by a msBy-storied rotunds. AS originally planned. great dome was to rise in the center. and give dignity to the whole. but the plan was not carried out thereby greatly detract- ing from the effect. Local limestone was used for .he county side. the soft stone lacking durability. and it's whiteneSs very rapidly changed to dinginess by Chicago smoke and soot For the city hall harder ard darker limestone was employed. but soon tho whole mass wore the ss.ne gTime coat. One must acknow- ledge there is an impTessiveness in the great mass. but if Is not noble impres- siveness. rather the topping sort. due partly to the fact that the building is too near the street

VAUDEVILLE.

lt is {, gross injustice to the manage. ment Of the Jacques for anyone to say that the safety of its patrons has not always been carefully attended to. |, is not the intention nor the habit of of Manager Poli to pack his the atcrs beyond the limits of convenience io say nothing of safety. and no one who has attended the Jacques cal, gainsay it. The aisles have always been kept clear. the entrances and exits open and guarded by ushers. ana the place watched over by two super. numcrary policemen to see that good crder and good sense are preserved. The fact that the attendance especial ly this week. while the magic kettle heads the bill. has been large is true. bnt it is also true that no one has com plained either of overcrowding or poor order.

But it is question how much longer that ambitious piece of architecture is to re- main standing, how much longer it is to come upon one as one rounds the corner at La Salle or Clark street. The gigantic edif1ce, for all its massiveness, lacks a stability. and an agitation to do away with it is abroad. The county board at meeting held lately adopted resolu- tions providing for the appointment of commission of ten to prepare plans for razing this dilapidated landmark and re- placing it with a modern building, con- structed on artistic lines. That it was lacking in comfort and conyenicnces, was unsanitary and inadequate, has long been known; and now it threatens to fall to pieces.
 A recent fire in the paint room on the fourth story did considerable damage to the building. and called attention to the signs of decrepitude noticeable here and there about it. In the courtrooms great cracks have appeared, the plaster looks as though it might fall any moment on the august heads below. Tn the lofty, gloomy corridors, pillars lean danger ously, walls are bulged and warped Signs of decay are not wanting on the eX- terior; the soft limestone of which the county part is built is disinteerating and, in cracking and crumbling away, DOT tions fall to the street below. a grave danger to passers-by. The county board say to repair it now would be sinking money in sated gold mine.
 Tie south entrance has had to be sealed up. streets and sidewalks roped off, marking a zone of particular danger. The structure is as ugly as il is unsafe. As shelter for the millions of dollars worth of records under it's roof the re- cent fire indicated its unfitness. For many weighty reasons it is best the building be condemned,

He was accompanied by q committee of Berks county officia Is who are interested in the case
 Mir Sweitzer presented lengthy. pc tition asking for clemcncy in behalf of Mrs. Edwards. .:
 Why do you come to me with this petition:' asked the governor.
 We want to enlist your sympathies for this woman," replied Mir. Sweitzer.
 This is exactly what the constitu- tion of Pennsylvania means to pre- vent" said the governor, but it seems that these people after thirty years do not yet understand this"

 Rev. Swetzef said he regarded the murder as being almost justified on the plea of self defense, as Mrs. Edwards husband was worthless brute

 time of it's construction little or nothing was known of Illinois stone, and the material for the new building was brought in from Lockport, N. Y. From time to time additions were made to the second court house: story put on, then wings of large size, the whole finally conglomerate structure of no great attractiveness of appearance When the fire came, q portion of it, the eastern wing, escaped destruction, and for awhile was used for public purposes Along with the main body of the build ing there fell in the fire the large fire bell, whose place had been on top of the center building; and from the molten mass of the bell were made souvenirs in the shape of small fire bells, which sou renirs one occasionally sees to-day on the watch chains of old residents
 The first courthouse, built in 1895. was used for all kinds of public gatherings, meetings. lectures and entertainments. The second courthouse, the stone edifice was completed in 1853. There are still living men and women that can tell stories of the briIliantspeeches made in that first cottage building. That build ing was as much part of Chicago's s his. tory as the Kinzie House. Mark Beau bien's tavern. Fort Dearborn, the first schoolhouse and the first church.
 Speaking of historic relics, anti-hre days, the settler period, reminds US that Chicago fosters an interest in things old as well as eagerly strives after attain. ment of the new. The Chicago Histori- cal society, the pioneer association keep alive pride in the city's early strug- gles and successes.
