both Ruggles and Blair and went up

beauty, ruins and traditions Of the

When Dan got up well on In the
morning. Ruggles had gone to the
bank. Dams thoughts turned from
everything to Lefty Lane. With irri-
tation he put her out OF his mind.

He wrote note to Ruggles. saying
that he would be back late and not to

that he had been fool to discuss Let

business to put her duty before her.
and that he had Judged her quickly

Contract Closed for Mansion.

Contract Closed for Mansion.
A special meeting of the capi-
itol commission was held and closed
the contract with c. G. and u. A..
Weber, architects selected for the
new mansion for the governor. u has
been held by the commission that
Senator Louis Arnett's correction
with Weber Brothers, as attorney,
in no way affects the right II the
commission 70 award the contia act to
the Webhers. Weber Brothers
were invited to meet with the com
mission.
The architects for the mansion will
receive five per cent. Of the cost OF
the mansion, which is to be erected
at cost Of $4,000 The commission
decided to spend only that much on
the mansion proper. The lot, which
was purchased from l.. #. Johnson
cost $4,000, and in addition to the lot,
on which Mr. Johnson's house now
stands, there is included in the deal
several houses occupied by negroes
directly back of Mr.. Johnson's house.
The commission also has an option
on the lot adjoining MFR. .Iohnsens,
and expects, eventually, to buy all the
houses between the mansion site and
Todd street These houses are not OF
an attractive nature and are mainly
occupied by negroes.
After paying for the lot, the archi-
tects' fee and the cost OF build
ing itself, there will be left $7,75o,
which willy be used to furnish the
mansion. The commission will buy
carpets and furniture, which will re-
main in the mansion for the use OF
future governors, and it is believed
that handsome furniture can be
bought for the money that is avail
able.

Burglar-Proof Vaults.

The new burglar-proof safes and
steel shelving with steel doors have
been installed in all the five big
vaults at the custom house. The
shelving, which also includes several
doors of thin steel which are prac-
tically as good for keeping valuable
records as the ordinary heavy iron
safe, was put in by the Crown Metal
Construction company. Building In.
spector Hayes will make an estimate
as to the cost of rutting dormer win
dows in the third story of the annex
to the custom house, just completed,
and fitting up the rooms in the third
story for file rooms for the various
offices. After the estimate Is COM
pleted, Senator Bradley will intro

money to have the work done.
