REDUCTION IN PRICE.
Lower Quotations Probable for Munich
pal Building Stone.

1t was learned today that the District
building commission at it's next meeting
will probably receive from the Hardwick
white granite people a proposition to furnish
stone for the building at a figure considera-
bly, lower than any proposition yet pre-
sented by the company. The representative
of the white granite people stated to a re-
porter for The Star today that his firm had
been revising it's figures and considering
the matter, and that the result may be that
the stone can be furnished at lower fig
ure than any heretofore offered.
At the meeting of the commission held
Thursday the white granite people proposed
to furnish the white stone for the whole
superstructure, including the inner court
and base of Woodbury. granite, for $780,
600, the amount which the commission at
first estimated 1t would have to expend for
stone alone. The quarry proprietor also Of
fered to furnish the statues or figures which
the architects have designed to have on the
outside of the building.
This firm. 1t is stated, is quite anxious
to furnish the stone for the District build
ing owing to the advantages that it is be-
lieved would result in making the material
known throughout the country. The rep
resentative of the quarry says that this
firm Is willing to place the stone in the
Districts new building at very meager
margin for business reasons.
1t was reported several days ago that the
proposed visit of Commissioners West and
Biddle to Georgia to inspect Cherokee mar
BILE was an indication of the tentative de-
cision of the members of the commission
to eliminate granite from the consideration
and to select marble as the building stone
This is an erroneous inference, Commits
sioner mcfarland states. Commissioners
West and Biddle are going to Georgia to-
night to view marble buildings, not by
direction of the commission, but for their
own information, which will be used in
their consideration Of stone to be selected
for the building.

STRAW BEDS.
Gone Now, With the Once Equally Fa-
miliar Corded Bedsteads.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
docs anybody" said the garrulous mid
dle-aged man. sleep nowadays on straw
beds? I remember a time when many peo-
pie did, on bedticks filed with straw
you could buy bundles of straw of the
grocer, or at a feed store, and you would
put one bundle, or for greater luxury two
bundles, inside of the tick, spreading it
around inside evenly SO as to make a
smooth bed There was art in doing this,
and some housewives, or some men CT the
house, in case it was they that filled the
ticks, as they sometimes did, could make
a much better straw bed than others could
Sometimes the feather bed, then COM
monty used, was laid on top of a straw
filled tick, sometimes people slept on the
straw bed. If they slept on the straw bed
directly, why, then the straw in it the soon
err came to be broken up and reduced to
fragments and dust; but sooner or later,
anyway, 1t came to that state, and then the
straw bed was taken out into the back
yard and emptied and its contents burned.
and thea the tick was filled with fresh
straw
Docs anybody sleep on straw beds nova
days? Not in cities, / guess. The straw
BEDS like the feather beds, were used in
the days when bedsteads were corded, be-
fore bedslats came into common use, the
bed cord being run through holes bored
through the side and end pieces of the
bedstead, making a sort of wide-meshed
net work, upon which the beds were sup
ported.
when this bed cord got slack, so that
the netting sagged In the center, they used
to tighten it up with an implement called
a bed wrench, with which the cord, through
all its criss-cross readings, could be drawn
up tight as fiddle string again.
"But the old-time corded bedstead has
now disappeared entirely, supplanted by
the bedstead of the present day, made with
stats. and I guess the old-time straw bed
must have stepped out with the corded
bedstead-which, perhaps, it was 1oath to
leaye-giving way to the modern mattress.
/ guess that while once there were many,
there are now but few who sleep on straw
beds"
