Solomon in all his glory or Sardana-
palus the magnificent but feebly realized
the splendOrs which are now in the
last stages of certain making in that
section Of uptown which is bounded
between Broadway and Seventh ave-
nue. in the eight story structure be-
tween Forty-first and Forty-second
streets. Here in truth is a veritable
palace Of the senses. The tone through
out is Assyrian and modelled after
the palace Of Sennacherib.
A splendid staircase sixty-five feet
high of yellow and black marbles i'm
ported direct from the site of Babylon
and costing $4,000, marked on either
side by series Of small crouching
bronze Assyrian lions, is one of the fea-
lures Of this splendid building. This
staircase forms the base Of the enor-
nous painting 'The Fall of Babylon"
occupying large part Of the wall. The
Illusion is such that the painting will
seem part Of the architecture The CEN
trail dining hall will form great temple
Of music built Of the purest Carrara mar
BILE fifty feet high. From this temple
will run pergolas to the balcony. Eight
floors Of $1,000 feet each will be used
entirely for the preparation and con-
sumption of food. An adjoining build
ing on the south, facing Seventh ave-
nue., seven stories high, will be used
for the conveyance of food alone. The
walters will never leave the floors on
which they serve, but will send their
orders through pneumatic tubes and
electric cOnveyances to the Kitchens
Perfect service is promised, for If
the guest desires he merely presses a
button at his table, and, speaking to the
table, sounding boards carry his mes
sage to the steward From the table
with no visible means Of communica-
ton will come the reply telling him
that proper attention will be immedi-
ately given.
To add a twentieth century touch to
the reincarnated luxury of ancient
days the upper dining room will have
no walters. The center of the table
will be so constructed as to form
conveyor which will sink through the
floor, leaving the rim on which the
plates are to rest. To avoid mistakes
on the part Of the servants the check
for dinner will be Enclosed in sealed
envelope and handed to the guest who
will open it, the waiter not knowing
the amount, as it will be compounded
by the checking clerk in the pantry.
The private dining rooms will seat
from 400 to 1900 people.
The palaces of Assyria have each
contributed their most striking features
to this twentieth century dining place,
made possible by the financial backing
Of the cars Of the American financial
world.

a girl she was known as ..the beautiful

a girl she was known as 1.-THE beautiful
angel
That there is powerful fascination
for some women in extreme ugliness is
proved by innumerable cases in which
women who have been richly lowered
with physical charms have fallen mad
~ in love with men Of almost repulsive
appearance.
A London paper records remark
able case Of this kind in 1917, when
Lady Mary x. married Mr.. Mudford,
London attorney.
Lady Mary was girl of peerless
charms, the most beautiful Of all the
court ladies and the favorite toast of
the world of aristocrats. She might
for her birth and fortune were almost
equal to her beauty-have chosen her
husband from among dukes, and even
more than one royal prince sought her
hand in vain.
To the CONSERVATION Of society, she
married Mr.. Mudford, not only "a pet
tifogging attorney" but a man Of al
most unnatural ugliness of face and
with a deformed hand and foot. Sin
gular, too, as it may appear, her mar
ried life was one Of unclouded happf=
ness, and to her dying day, nearly forty
years later, she never seemed to have
moments regret for her choice Of
husband,
Still more remarkable was the story
told Of most beautiful heiress with
an attachment for one of the freaks
Of a travelling show, and she per-
sisted in marrying him in spite Of all
the efforts Of her friends and relations.
This singular object Of her affections
masqueraded under the title of "the
man monkey, or the ugliest man in the
world" and he had an excellent claim
to the title.-Exchange

CHARMS OF UGLY men
Case of John Wilkes, the Famous
London Alderman.
HE Welded A NOTED BEAUTY

And He Was So HomeIy That His
Looks Frightened the Children In the
streets-Bailly, With Face Like a
Horse, Won Famous French Beauty.
There was perhaps as much truth
rs Boosting in the statement Of John
Wilkes, the famous London alderman
and champion Of British electors,
"Ugly as am, If can have but
quarter Of an hours start 1 will get
the better of any man, however good
looking, in the graces of any woman"
OF Wilkes abnormal ugliness there
was never question, for is it not re-
corded that the very children in the
street ran away affr1ghted at the sight
Of him?'' And yet his powers Of fasci-
nation were so great that "ladies of
beauty and fashion We'd with each
other for his notice, while men of
handsome exterior and all courtly
graces looked obviously on"
There were, it is said, few beauties
Of the day whose hand Wilkes might
not have confidently hoped to win, and
when he led Mary Mead to the altar
he made wife Of one Of the richest
and most lovely women Of her time.
Beauty and the Beast they call u.s."
Wilkes once said to his friend Patter,
land cannot honestly find fault with
the description
Jean Paul Marat, whose name will
always be associated with the evil
history of the French revolution, was
VIGOROUSLY the ugliest man OF his day
In Paris. When this reputation reach
ed his ears Marat is said to have re-
marked, Put why limit my suprema-
cy to Paris p And indeed the restric-
ton was much too modest
And yet in his earlier years, when
he was the most popular Of court doc
tors, his very ugliness seemed to exer-
else such fascination over aristocrat-
1c ladies that they crowded his consult
Ing rooms in order to catch glimpse
Of and to exchange words with him
under the flimsiest pretexts Of imag-
mary ailments. The studied indiffer-
ence with which he treated alike their
charms and their fattery only made
them the more insistent until he de-
clared to a friend that he would have
to fly from Paris to escape the perse-
cution of his fair admirers.
Bailly, mayor Of Paris at the time Of
the reign Of terror, is said to have
had face almost exactly like that of
horse His appearance was, in fact,
50 abnormal, SO monstrous, that chill
dren shrieked and women tainted at
the very sight of him, and yet his wife
was one of the most lovely women in
the whole Of France-so lovely that as

NO LETTER; CAUSE OF
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Roswell Harper, Arsenal Soldier,
Made DeSpOndent by Answer Re-
ceiVed from Mail Man.

Failure to receive a letter from one
presumably a woman-in whom he
was more than ordinarily interested,
Is believed to have been the motive
for Roswell Harper's attempt to end
his life at Rock Island arsenal, as re-
ferred to in Saturdays Argus. He is
g private at the local army post. He
aimed a bullet at his heart. The
leaden pellet struck rib and glanced
away from it's intended destination
and to this is due the fact that Harper
is alive today. He is at st. Anthony's
hospital where he was taken imme-
diately after the accident
From the story which has been
CLEANED at the arsenal, Harper came
to the barracks Saturday morning
about 9 o'clock and asked If any mali
had come for him. Upon being IN
formed that nothing had arrived, ne
said nothing and walked out of the
barracks. Little was thought OF this
until a shot was heard and upon rush
ing out of the place his fellow sol
diers found him lying on the sidewalk
He was weak from the effects of the
shot, but will recover, the injury being
little more than a flesh wound because
of the fortunate DETECTION of the bull
let.

WAGE SCALE ADJUSTMENT
American Federation of Labor Passes
Resolutions Bearing Upon the
Controversy.

In the endeavor to secure a better
adjustment of the wage scale now in
effect at Rock Island arsenal, the local
delegates to the American Federation
of Labor succeeded in securing the
passage of resolutions that bring a
satisfactory adjustment of the present
difficulties one step nearer. The reso-
lutions were offered before the conven-
ton by P j. Carlson, delegate to To-
ronto from the Tri-City Labor con-
gress. and are as follows:
Whereas, The ordnance officers III
charge of Rock Island arsenal are
doing all in their power to reduce
wages and establish the piecework
system among the workers employed
in the shops and factories at that
arsenal; and
Detrimental to Labor.
Whereas, We believe that this re-
duction of wages, establishment of the
piece work system, and by the en-
pIoyment of boys under 16 years of
age. by these officers, are detrimental
to organized labor now in the govern
ment employ at this arsenal and in
other places where the government
is employing mechanics and labor
ers; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the president of the
