ATLANTA, Aug. 2.-When Mrs.

,..e present season is no exception.
Aside from the United States govern
ment's $15O,00O building which is now

est in the Improvement line is the
erection of the Grand Pacific hotel
addition. This institution completes
the hotel capacity of this city, max
ing it abundantly able to care for the
biggest crowds the city will be called
upon to entertain in several years to
come.
In the construction of this building
Henry Tatley will realize the dream
of many years, for no man ever built,
painted, carved or accomplished with
out an ideal to work to. The main
building covers nearly quarter OF a
block, and when completed will be
four stories in height. The building
is constructed with a view to conven-
fence from every standpoint. One
item in this direction is the fact that
the office is in about the middle of
the front line, which makes it handy
to all parts of the house. On the
main corner of the building and on
the first floor is store room which
is now occupied by the Finney drug

ELECTRIC CHAIR
finds VICTIMS
Since Put Into Use One
Hundred and fifty.fouf
Have Been Executed

Special to The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10-Twenty-one
years ago this week, on August 9Th,
1890, William Kemmler, condemned
murderer, was put to death in the
electric chair in Auburn prison. KEN.
mler was the first person to be legal.
ly executed by electricity in the Unit
ed States and his case was the sub
ject of wide discussion at the time.
The action of New York in substitute.
ing the electric chair for the gallows
has been found generally satisfactory
and her example has been followed
by Onio, Virginia, South Carolina,
Massachusetts, Kentucky and New
Jersey.
Since the execution OF Kemmler
there have been 1o4 persons put to
death in the electric chair in New
York. The state prison authorities
estimate that it costs about $500 per
individual to carry out the capital
punishment mandate. On the basas
of this esumate New York state has
expended about $4,000 for electrocu.
tons since that form of inflicting the
death penalty was introduced.
Several times the electric chair at
Sing Sing has had two victims in one
day, and on one occasion short time
ago three persons we re put to death
within period OF twenty-fOur hours
But never before has there been such
wholesale execution of death SEN
fences imposed on prisoners in this
state as is scheduled to take place at
Sing Sing next week. Nine men are
to die on the same day and in as rapid
succession as they can be led to the
death chair. Six of -..e nine prospect
i've victims are the Italians who were
convicted of the atrocious murder of
Mrs. Mary Hall at Cr0ton Lake, West
chester County, on Nov. 8. 1911.

being used as such. Next is the large
office and on beyond it is reception
room, the passenger elevator, check
room, etc., which Will really be part
| of the lobby. Beyond that is the din
ing room which is now under con-
struction. 1t is 35XS0, with private
dining room lexis. Back of this is
the large and commodious kitchen,
which will be ample to supply any de-
mands which may be made on it.
This will be equipped with every
utensil, and convenience necessary to
make it up-to-date and strictly san
itary.
Through the middle of the dining
room are four columns with beautiful
marble base, and these with the
beams overhead which vii. form pan
els, will add much to the beautiful
appearance of that room. On the
walls will be pilasta rs, supported with
marble base, and these VIZ lend
beauty to the surroundings. These
VIII be in fumed oak and all finishing
will blend.
Along the north side Of the build
ing is the baggage runway. Trunks
will be unloaded at that entrance,
and conveyed to the freight elevator
which will run to the top floor as we'll
as to the basement. In the basement
will be very large sample rooms with
plenty Of room and equipment for re-
packing and for the storage neces-
sary at time with travelling statesmen.
On the fourth are for combination
bedrooms and sample rooms for the
convenience of those who may desire
the smaller sample room.
The guest rooms are everything
that could be desired, equipped and to
be furnished with every known mod
ern convenience. Not only are there
the regular style bath rooms, but
some suites are provided with shower
baths. There are also double closets,
or ward robes, one open, the other
provided win door and lock. In
case guest, such as travelling
salesman who is out for only few
days, desires to leave his clothing
-ocure while away, he may leave his
belongings in this closet, lock the
door and carry the key, being assur-
ed that when he returns, his property
will be perfectly secure and intact.
All woodwork is finished in the best
of style, there being nothing in the
least shoddy about the structure.
Each room, according to the expense
Of the building, costs about $1,000.
There are beautiful, large brass beds,
with box spring, fine linen, and read
ing lights. Expensive rugs adorn the
floor, while all other necessary fur
nishings are at hand One important
