In little book Just issued by the pas senger department of the Fall River Line. the splen,ief and magniheenee of the new two million dollar steamer Commonwealth Is pictured and des- eriled in most attractive WAY. Critics of the art of good printing have described this publication as really artistic achievement. The beauty of the interior of the steamer furnished plenty of inspiration to the artist and he has given most fitting expression 10 of the impressionist school ot art. II shows an impressionisi steamer ot gIeaming white gliding over an im- pFessionist sea of dreamy blue. The en4raNings are printed in rich warm tint of olive. The margin of each page is enhelllshed with reproductions in colers of the steamers moral paintings and interior decorations. An excellent engraving of The Common wealth pro ceeiing a. full speed occupies the cen Ter page. On the fast cover page is repFostueied lin colors the Common wealth $ crest, which k the combined ceat of arms el the states of New York, Connecticut.

For years an effort has been
made to induce Congress TO de-

On TUESDAY she was in the

Gus thunder clap.

come contracted.
