Following the demolition of the cen
trail portion of the old Mansion House,
will be the construction of a seven
story steel and concrete "sky-scraper, "
that will be known as the Mcclure
Business Block" This edifice will not
only add, in a superlative degree, to
the architectural adornment of the city
but will be a splendid tribute to the
public spirit, the business sagacity
and the earnestness of the promoters
and planners of the enterprise. While
many will regret that satisfactory ar
rangements could not be perfected to
include the entire frontage of the
Mansion House on st. Clair street in
the new structure, yet it will tower
as the most conspicuous and best
equipped business block in the greater
Frankfort of today. In the limited
scope of three paragraphs all the de-
tails of this splendid structure can not
be given, yet in every particular it will
be a triumph of modern art and me-
chanical execution.
Il has been a long time since John
Haly purchased the old hostelry for
alU,000 and remodeled it in many
features, including the conversion OF
the lower story, on st. Clair street,
into stores-and it has beeR longer
still since Marshall's regiment of cav
airy drew up in line on the Main
street front, as it was en- route to the
Mexican war Probably the only liv-
ing representative OF its hotel conduct
is Col. John n. Crutcher, of the West
Side, who was at one time popular
clerk in its Office. But times have
changed and are changing, and all
must accommodate themselves to the
procession - tempora matantur ct
mutamur in ills.

CORkERS AND TWISTERS.
BY Mrs. O'HouIihan.

One of the most desirable and at
tractive residences in the city OF
Frankfort. now so Illuminated by
beautiful homes, is that of Col. John
N. Crutcher, on the West Side. Its
picturesque situation, looking out uron
the broad waters of the Kentucky riv-
er from its front portico, with spaci-
Gus grounds on every side. shaded by
forest trees of natural growth and
embowered amid shrubbery and flow
ers of choice selection and attractive
cultivation, has recently been supple
mented by tasteful additions to its
structural features. The deft and
skillful HAND of the artisan-the
builder. the plumber and the painter
have been for weeks busy in supplying
every modern appliance for comfort
and convenience their good judgment
could suggest. 1t is now in its entire
completeness, in its structural outlines
and in tasteful and rich coloring-
without disparagement to others-the
handsomest and most attractive resi-
dences on the West Side. The attrac!
tions of this lovely Kentucky home are
made the more complete in the pres
ence of its worthy and enterprising
owner, and his estimable, popular and
liberal-hearted wife and daughter.

He was man OF llrge-hearted sym
pathies; he placed a high value on
children and reverenced womanhood:
he believed ardently in the American
people and In the American common
school as the training place for good
citizenship.
His last great address in Berea was
on the Government of the South by
the Plain People and this as well
as other utterances on other occa-
sions placed him among those who be-
lieve in the future Of the people Of
the southern mountains.

Gus places, including Cincinnati dur
ing and just after the Civil War. He
was always active In the cause of
schools and served on the board of
education in that city. While there

cational needs OF the south, and In
1879 had clear and definite call o

that he wanted TO live until this was
done, but he has left undone what in
two years OF his normal health he
could have finished.
His home has been in Washington
for some years. There, with his aged
wife and his son and his daughter he
spent the winter, while his summers
were passed in Boston. for the better
