NEW STATE CAPITOL.
FINEST IN THE WEST
When Completed it Will be One of the
Best and Most Beautiful in the
Entire United States.

The new Sc 600. 600 capitol building
Of Wisconsin will be the handsomest
structure of its kind in the United
States, according to Lew F. Porter,
secretary IF the capitol commission
and supervising architect. With the
exception Of the Wisconsin capitol
the most pretentious structures are
those of New York, which cost about
$40, 600, 900, and of Pennsylvania,
which cost S., 900. 600 Neither in
size, design nor architectural beauty
will either of the two eastern build
ing excel that of Wisconsin. The
cubic capacity Of the state capitol
viii be eq al to that of the New York
bgilding and will exceed that Of the
Pennsy lvanIa structure.
The great dome Of the new build
ing rises 300 feet and four great
wings, five stories high, extend at the
points of the compass. The extreme
length of the building from east to
west and from north to south will be
426 feet The ground area covered
is about 100, 900 square feet of
which the dome includes 90 OOO
The capacity Of the entire building
exclusive of approaches, terraces and
areas will be Sc 600, 900 cubic feet.
Vermont white granite quarried at
Woodbury., VT, the hardest granite
in the country, is used for the exterior
walls. Vari- colored granite, marble
and stone are used in the interior.
The building has been under con-
struction seven years and it is reason
ably certain that it will be finished
by July 1, 1916. Two wings, the east
and west, have been completed The
south wing will probably be finished
this year. The steel frame of the
dome is erected and viii be enclosed
before 1918. Thu north wing of the
old capitol, the only part of the build
ing still standing. will be torn down
next year and the foundation for the
new wing laid. The new wing will
Contracts for all the work except
the interior furnishing of the north
wing have been let, carrying more
than So, 600 600. The actual amount
so far spent on the building and heat
ing plant, the latter a separate
structure half mile from the
capitol, is SO, 673, 413 10 The com.
mission is authorized to spend 81, 00O,
600 year and the Legislature has
made provision by taxation and direct
appropriation for Sc, 100, 900 for the
entire construction. The heating
plant, equipment and tunnel work
entailed cost of $500, 600 A large
warehouse is yet to be built in con-
nection with the plant, costing
500, 900.
The interior and exterior decorative
work will represent the best work Of
living sculptors and will cost a
small fortune. The painting in the
Assembly and Senate Gamblers will be
by world famous artists. and will
cost $50, 600 The paintings in the
Governors reception chamber. which
are a reproduction of the reception
room of the ducal palace in Venice,
were made by John Ballin. who re-
ceived $25, COZ for the work. Frank
D. Millet, a Titanic victim, was
under contract to produce the paint
ings for the supreme court cham Der
for $25, 900.

SHE: SELL
AND Be DARNED'

PARIS, April 1.-The gorgeous furni-
ture of DR.. and Mrs. Perry Chance, the
latter the widow Of James King, the
former Chicago lumberman, was sold
at auction yesterday to satisfy the
claims of a landlord. The sale took
place at DR. Chances house, q Rue de
10 Faisanderie. This is the magnificent
furniture selected SO carefully at Sir
John Blundell Naples two years ago by
DR.. Chance, when he and his bride went
to housekeeping in Paris. Mrs. Chance
refused to pay the rent and the doctor
was living in Auteull in f~lourishing cir
cumstances. When the landlord pressed
Mrs. Chance, who is at the Hotel Met
ropole, Nice, for the rent and threat
ened to sell the furniture, the latter's
sister. Mrs. Maisie Melvin. replied;
Sell and be darned."
Mrs. Melvin, who seems to have
taken complete control of all of Mrs.
Chances affairs, is likewise from Chi
cago. Both sisters evidently had a
weakness once for dentists, for Melvin,
like Chance, was a dentist.
The matrimonial breakdown of the
Chances will be the second for Mrs.
Chance, for she was married and di-
vorced once before. She was sued by
Millionaire King, of Chicago, and both
divorces were engineered by Mrs. Mel
vim.

PRESSURE CARRIES
LIST DOWNWARD
Realizing in U. S. Steel and
Western Issues Also I'M
portant Factor.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The feature
of the opening of the stock market TO-
day was a block of 5000 shares of U.
S. Steel at 69% and 69Ss, compared with
69h at yesterdays closing. The copper
shares were again very strong. Trading
was moderately large, with more than
the usual breadth of operations.
IL a. ma re~actionary tendency was
shown by the Coppers soon after the.
opening, but prices hardened in spots
elsewhere. Pressure against the coal
ers, supplemented by realizing in U. S.
Steel, and the Western issues, carried
the whole list downward rather sharply
before IL o'clock.
Noon-The activity Of the first hour
gave way to dullness with the APP
proach of midday, by which time prae-
tically all of the early rise was lost.
Bonds were steady. i
l %. m.-Selling stopped when prices
of the important stocks had reached
an average level of half a point under
yesterdays close. Little recovery fol-
lowed.
