others he simply applied the finishing touches. The particularly attractive feature is the veneer of various kinds and colors of wood with which these ar ticles are covered. Thousands of pieces average length of the pieces is less than one inch. They are nicely fitted together and form very pretty finish for the ar ticles above mentioned. Included in this array of wood are pieces from nearly every state in the Union, all the native woods of Litchffeld county and pieces of guns, etc., which were used in promi- nent battles of the Civil war. Mir. Schermerhorn feels proud of his handi- work and refuses all offers for his furni- ture.
 A Thorough Overhauling.
 | During the past few days a remarkable transformation in tho condition of the Warner House premises has been effect ed. Every cesspool on the place has been dug out by the roots," not only the cesspools themselves, but a considerable | quantity of the soil surrounding them. The stones of which they were partly composed have been removed from the premises and dozens of barrels of lime have been used in the process of purifi- cation. All outhouses have been remo- ved and burned, vaults have been clean ed and then filled with lime and earth. The barn has also been given vigorous attention and the building and it's sur roundings thoroughly disinfected with lime and other substances The kitchen interior is also receiving vigorous over hauling. The interior of that portion of the building is being entirely torn out, every old waste pipe or other piece of unsanitary plumbing removed and thrown away. With new material used in rebuilding the interior, new plumb ing, liberal coating of paint and the proper application of paper, etc., the presence of typhoid fever germs should be impossible. MT. Garfield says an in- vestigation shows that the conditions in the rear portion of the building had been allowed to become deplorable, but that the work already done, and now being done, will remove all danger of conta- zion or infection. The only cesspool within several feet of the hotel is the one in the park across the street. Mir. Canfield remarks that he will very soon be in a position, if he feels so disposed, to stand on his own land and point out unsanitary conditions on various other premises.
