RECOMMENDATIONS

I. We recommend that the contractors b. required to complete their contract. with ths exception of the construction of the copper done and the plaster wainscoting.
 (2) The Stone Dome and Marble wainscotne
 We recommend that the commission be in structed to let contract contracts foi the construction of T stone dome to the capitol and for the substitution of marble wainscot- ing with scaglioa above it, instead of plaster. is contemplated.

HARRY c. HALE, Clerk.
Minority Report.

Senator Otis T. Wingo. of the Joint Capitol Investigating Committee. submitted q minority report. After going into details in regard to character of stone, thickness of stone iron work left out and basement floor contract the report closes as follows:
 II cannot agree with the majority in all the recommendations they make. concur in the struction should be employed to be present at all times to see that the work is carried out according to contract. instead of leaving It the commissioners. who know nothing of tho technicality of construction. to superintend the construction by occasional visits to the city Inasmuch our expert is of the opinion that the building cannot be completed within the next two years opposed to any additional appropriation to be paid by a tax upon the people. If any additional appropriation is made it should be kept out of the hands of Caldwell & Drake. In fact, think the state has grounds upon which to abrogate their contract and should do so and let the contract for the completion to another contractor.
 ''In view of Architect Mann's action with reference to altering the specifications and the zeal which apparently he has displayed in behailf of the contractors. and not the state which he should represent, I would recommend that his services be dispensed with
 While I hope that the materials used are of that character that will give to the state building of which her citizens will be proud and while I further believe that the factor of safety" as recognized by architects ren6era the building safe. still I cannot refrain from saying that the building is a disappointment tt me. and fear that time will not improve 1t, appearance. I therefore of the opinion thai in many material features the contract has no been complied with. and thereby the state ha: been defrsuded of thousands of dollars.'
 Rsspe:tfully submitted.

the ceiling or of the walls for the reason given and for the further reason that the build ing has no roof upon it. the clustering, 1t is put on, is being and will be badly damaged.
 (12) Iron Columns.
 On pages A and 9 of the specifications will be found alternative to the kind and character of columns to be used under the brick arches at the side of the dome, and all of the columns where eccentricity of loading occurs may be z bar columns where eastiron columns are called for upon the drawings; but that in either event the columns must be designed to carry the floor loads therein specified. It has much smaller than the columns called for upon the drawings, but it seems to the committee, if the columns bear the loads required, the contract, in that respect, has been complied with.
The Carlisle independent., 1907-05-09
(l3) Cinder Concrete.

The of cinder concrete has been criticised, but feel that very little comment is neees- sary under this heading, for the reason that the contract and specifications call for cnder con- crete and, in the of such concrete the contractors have complied with their contract.

"I am Mr. Savage said the tall
impresario, stepping forward.
We'll, why do you refuse these
seats? They are issued by your thea
tre."
They are, sir" said Mr.. Savage,
"but they were bought from specu-
lators and if you will read what is
printed on the backs of those tickets
you will see that l reserve the right
to deny admission"
well, why refuse them If / want

ooh, d the public" was the re-
joinder.
"The same to you sir" said the
manager.
"I'll sue you, sir" said the wrath
full playgoer.
GO ahead and sue," answered Mr..
Savage. you may recover the price
of your seats and your carfare or cab
hire according to the method of your
conveyance. l am willing to stand
the suit; in fact, I'd welcome it."
The party went home without see
ing "The College Widow" and there
was no suit. On realizing there was
no sham about Savage's fight the pub
lie bought at the box office and the
spectators were forced to quit.
Since this experience the ticket brok-
ers made later attempts to get a
foothold at the Garden Theatre, but
they were met by the same deter
mined rebuffs, and ultimately decided
to let Mr.. Savage accommodate his
patrons at the box office without in
reference.

THEIR FAvoRITE BEVERAGES

The entertaining author of "Collec-
t;ons and Recollections" has been
writing on the favorite beverages OF
great men. Thackerays choice was
claret. He said that our intellect
ripens with good cheer and throws on
surprising crops under the influence
of that admirable liquid, claret." Mr..
Gladstone. to whom the other pleas
ures of the table meant nothing, was
a sticker for port, a believer in it,
Judge of it. Mr.. Russell says that the
only feeble speech he ever heard from
Gladstone was made after dinner at
an otherwise hospitable house, where
wine was not suffered to appear.
Lord Tennyson drank his bottle OF
port every day, and drank it undecant-
ed, for, as he justly observed, de-
canter holds only eight glasses, but a
black bottle nine. Mr.. Browning, if he
could have his own way, drank port
all through dinner, as well as after it.
Sir Moses Montefore, who lived to
complete his hundred years, drank a
bottle of port wine every day after he
came to mans estate. Mr.. Finching,
the wine merchant in Little Dorritt,"
thought champagne weak but palata-
ble," and Lord St. Jeroms, in 10
THAR" was esteemed by the young
men a patriot because he always
gave his best champagne at his ball
suppers Town and Country.

HENRY w. SAVAGE EXTERMI-
MATES THEATRE SPECU-
LATION.

public indignation by the publication
of the following in the New York
World:
During all this discussion anent
ticket spectators and the strenuous
efforts that theatrical managers are
making to suppress the sidewalk huck
sters, it might interest some of the
play house proprietors who have
waged sporadic and noisy but un-
successful war upon the Here s-two-
good n-the-second-row" boys to
learn how Henry w. Savage drove
the brass lunged brokers from the
corner of Madison avenue and 27th
street in front of the Golden Theatre.
When "The College Widow" opened
its engagement of thirty-eight weeks
at the Golden Theatre, the AIDE COM
edy proved to be what showmen term
a cyclonic success. Every dramatic
critic in New York heaepcd laurels
upon the play, and at the second
nights performance twenty-six ticket
spectators beseiged the entrance to
the theatre and damned their tiny
diagrams of the Garden Theatre
against waistcoats of intcndant pa
irons.
Mr. Savage Immediately stationed
two negroes with big megaphones
and bigger voices on the sidewalk.
When ever a Spectator approached n
playgoer, the latter's ears felt the
thunder of the negroes voices from
both sides: "Those tickets you are
buying will be refused at the door"
This plan worked successfully for
two nights. Then, the spectators
deserted the theatre and stationed
themselves at the corner OF Goth and
27th streets where the patrons left
the cars, two blocks away from the
theatre, and out of megaphone range.
On discovering this shift, Mr.. Saw
age drafted his entire office force and
placed each member in charge of a
small body of men whose duty it was
to shadow the spectators and inform
purchasers that their tickets would be
refused at the theatre. Should any
one persist in buying, he would be
followed by one of the Savage sleuths.
When the sidewalk tickets arrived
at the door they would be politely
refused, and the holder informed that
the face value of his coupons could
be secured at the box office.
To circumvent the Savage forces,
the ticket spectators hired by the
hour number of hansoms. When
a man bought tickets he would be hus-
tied into hanson and ratified to the
theatre before the sleuth could head
him off. Some of the amateus de-
tectives who were swift of foot beat
the hansoms to the theatre and stop
ped their occupants at the door, but
before the night was over the entire
force was "windbroken" and had to
give it up.
Then Mr.. Savage hired a number
of hansoms for his men to make the
race more even and again the plans
of the spectators went awry.
On several occasions holders of
SPECTATORS tickets raised row in
the lobby of the Garden Theatre when
entrance was refused. One evening
Mr.. Savage was standing near the
door keeper when two men in even
ing clothes, accompanied by hand
somely gowned women, presented
four contraband tickets. They were
refused entrance
"Why?" asked one of the men,
"You bought them from a specu-
lator," said the door keeper.
as that any of your business?'
"My orders are to refuse them"
"Orders from whom"
"Mr. Savage"
