WILL RESIST
NEW RATE
Is the semi-omcial Intimation of
Course Relative to the
New Rate.

semi-official intimation is made as
the time approaches for the observ-
ance of tn etwo-cent fare rate In this
state on all railroads over fifty miles
in length, that the railroad compan-
les will resist the new law. 1t is
stated on good authority that the Of
ficials do not intend to comply with
the law but that all agents will be
instructed to sell tickets at the old
rate. This will precipitate test
cases in he courts, and there will be
taken to the highest tribunal. The
railroad companies, it is understood,
win pursue this course on the ground
advanced that as the new law ana
rate do not apply to all railroads
there is class legislation, and there
fore, the law is unconstitutional.

CEREMONIES BRILLIANT
AT THE REDEDICATION
Alexander Hall is a Massive and Is
spring Structure Greatly
Admired by All
BUrLpNe FINE MoNusIENr
To Andrew Carnegie, the Great Steel
King and Pittsburg's Foremost
Citizen and Manufacturer.
nv Aaaosiatsd rtaaa.l


PITTsBURG, Pa. April 12- The
rededication of the Carnegie Insti-
tute continued today with brilllance
and will conclude tomorrow.
Alexander Hall.
Alexander Hall is the approach to
the realm OF true are and the decora-
tion has been executed by accredited
votaries.
Shell marble piers rise around the
walls while double staircase as
cends fanking either way to the up-
per gallery. 1t is Of Hauteville mar
BILE with the railing relieved by deii-
cate bronze net work. Facing the
upper level within the large panels
are the fve complete frescoes which
continue the John w. Alexander
symbolism of the triumph OF energy
in Pittsburg. About the lower walls
are dozen minor panels marking
the initian suggestion of the grand
conception, Toll in many aspects Is
depicted by allegorical figures, each
frescoe OF most delicate workman
ship and OF suggestiveness that long
rivets the attention of the beholder.
Above the panels signalize the
supremacy of the city bestowed by
its years of patient labor and its
bountiful resources: There are
Fifty-Five Figures
in the portrayals and each is painted
from a model. An iron clad knight
symbolizes the city, while Fame
sounds on trumpet the paen OF
achievement, Maidens typifying the
sister cities of the world are bring
ing gifts from all quarters Of the
globe to pur into the lap Of indus
try. All the wall space of the three
galleries will be ultimately covered
by Mr.. Alexander's work, 1t is his
personal artistry painted on canvas
in New York studio. The canvasses
were sent TO the institute in the
great tubes and then attached or
sunk into the walls which were first
prepared with thick coating Of
white lead Thus the frescoes are
made as enduring as the building it.,
self. The color tints are Of light
blue and pink which adt,irably
blend with the joyous effect of the
whole environment.
One feels the rerefaction Of the
light and delicacy of the art. There
is no thougt of the ponderous dis
play of monarchical riches with. that
unfailing concomitant of the pros
trating slave. The consols OF the
beautiful stairway shows the lions
head, which figures so frequently
throughout the building. on either
side stand electrollers of beautiful
triped design.
Just around the eastern side be-
gins the museum and the first Of
the great departments. But by the
staircase the art galleries are enter
ed and thus the continuation of the
initial effect of a beautiful vision Il
produced. That impression win be
heightened as the visitor moves on.
The first glimpse of the brilliant Wis
ia of the sculptures is caught.
