libraries in the world, and one which will
be enlarged by thousands of miscella-

soon as it can be properly housed in the
magnificent new temple which is being
now erected at 10th and s streets north

the House of the Temple yesterday.

selected to act in conjunction with Sover-

from New York an elaborate series of
cOlored sketches, which are said to be of
superlatively beautiful designs. They
dealt with every feature of the WORK
to be done under the new contract, in
marble, wood and mural decoration.
Ten different kinds and colors Of marble
are to be used in the classical and sym

and effect and after examining the col

grand commander, the committee and the
architect the sketches were taken back
to New York Immediately without exhi-

Rite generally, or the public.
