of the beautiful buildings at the exposition ,
giving them the appearance of having been
chiseled out of the flneu ma.blcs nnd other

Urge exposition buildings In the main court

linn , who did a largo amount of the work
on the World's fair ImlUUtiin u.ul who have
Oono iilmlhr work on nnny of the largest
buildings In this fonntry , prominent among
them being the headquarters building of the
State , War and Navy depittmonw In Wash ,
ington , one of the largest buildings of Its
kind In the world. Thso contractor have
two shops , cno just outside the exposition
KroundH near Sherman avenue nnd I'lnk-
ncy street , and the other In the Mines build
Ing , Inside the main court. In tluss iwo
shops the casts arc made > which arc to trans
form the HIIRO frames being erected about
the Lagoon Into palaces ut beauty decorated
with -all the lavlohnfss wnlcn characterized
the mwt stately architectural piles of the
undent world.
The shop outside the grounds Is devoted
entirely lo the modelers and pattern makers ,
who prepare the patterns and moulds from
which the casts placed upon ths buildings
are made. These casts arc all made In the
shop In the Minn ) building. A viilt to the
modeling shop the latter part cl last week
fcjuml the workmen engaged In making some
of the patterns for the rf'.aft work which la
Uo decorate the Agricultural building. The
ornamentation of this bulldm * ; Is not cnly
very ornate nnd elaborate , but It Is decidedly
unique and original. Architect Cass Gilbert
of St. Paul designed ( hla magnificent buildIng -
Ing and originated Its decoration. In so
doing ho utilized the vegetable and animal
llto ot an agricultural community and !
adapted It to his purpose. The result Is a !
I character of dtcoratlon which will bo most I
attractive as well as artistic. It nocaulj j
tales , however , on the part of the start work
ers a" tremendous amount ot new work In
making the models for the casts. Ordinarily
the cln.sslc forms of < U corn t Ion can be
adapted to the occasion with a llttlo ill t,1 ra
tion , but In this case complete paltcnu mvst
be built up from the beginning. The same
Is true to a large extent cf the vlccor.vJons
of the other main buildings , the dccnrulon
ot the Machinery and KlorlolU building ,
for Instance , being formed of co ; whtels ,
pinions. Incandescent lamps , awltslu" nnd
many other things peculiar to the two sci
ences to be displayed In the building. All
of these , require complete new sets of pat
terns , s'o-thit the decorations of all Clio main
buildings will tto peculiar toithe Tranamtasls.
Blppl Exposition and not a repetition of set
architectural dcsKrns.
IN THE MODELING SHOP.
To return to the modeling shop , the first
thlcg strlk'iag the eye of the visitor wae
a modeler la clay engaged In making a
pattern for the keysfttno which Is to crown
the nrcb over the main entracco to the Agri
culture building. A largo plaster keystone
of handsome design , measuring fully two
and one-half feet across at the top and < about
three feet in height , had been , utilized as a
.h&sa on * which to build up the striking- -
narafiDt which will attract , the attention or
visitors to the big bulldlug. This ornamem
was nothing more nor less than a big tur
key gobbler , life size , with tail outspread
os < I wings drooping , looking for all the world
as though he was preparing to otcp down
from hla perch and strut about among the
chickens , ducks , geese and other barnyard
fowls , which were lying around OD M sldcn
In counterfeit presentment , "done" In stall
and ready to take their places on the Agri
culture building. Tills keystone- will crowr.
the arch of the malm entrance only and
but one cast of It will be ui-ed , but the model-
log process Us the same as though .a hun
dred gobblers were to be mounted on the
building to add to the plcturesqucness ol
the scene.
A second modeler was engaged on a gar
land ot fruits , hanging in a graceful fes-
towj. This pattern1 will be repeated many
tlmw on , the building. The original model
waj being formed of clay on a board , the
various articles ot fruit competing It , llko
< the gobbler , being formed ot the plastic clay
with the fli > gers , aided by two or three curi
ously shaped tools. The clay used by these
workmen U the ordinary potter's clay. The
gumbo so plentiful In this locality was trleu
by the modelerw , but was found to bo too
Btlcky and was discarded.
Other modelers were ocgjgcd la roaklns
patterns for capitals for the numerous col
umns which will form a part of the deco
ration ot the Agricultural building acd of tlir
columns themselves. As a rule the standard
types of capitals and columns ot the various
echools of architecture can 'be used for pat.
terns with slight chsngea in the detail of
the decoration. The type ot capital is se
lected and the desired changes are made
with clay. For the plain portions of the cor-
nlcea the lattorns are made ot wood and In
many cseo the moulds from which the
cornice Is made ore also made of wood and
tue stair mourned in tins.
In another room the moulds are made
from which as many plaster casts as are
necessary may be made. These moulds are
mtdo of a preparation of glue and gelatin ,
which Is ooinewhat eM.UIc , and this greatly
removes the c'angcr of breaking the cast In
removing the mould In case acy "under
cuts" occur In the model. Cm account of
the plastic nature of these moulds they are
reinforced by plaster backs , the whole mak
ing a very bulky affair.
MAKING THI : CASTS.
After Hi a moulds are made they are taken
to the large chop In the Mines building ,
wliero the cnsta are made. Th'a shop U
about -50 fept In length and about fifty feet
wide. Jt hns a low roof and is lighted
dimly by skylights. About thirty men are
employed In this shop. 1A mould Is laid en
a low table and covered with a light coating
of oil to prevent the piaster from sticking.

hands Into every nook and corner of the
mould. This material "sctn" very raplillr
ami the fnco of the mould is qnlckly covered
to a depth ot about a quarter ot an Inch.
Hemp fiber la then taken In small wisps nnd
dipped Into the largo pan ot plaster anil
spread over the Inner side ot the cast. Tlila
process Ix repeated mill the whole cast has
reached a thickness of about an Inch nnd
one-half. U la allowed to stand about halt

The moves being- made among the gom-

great deal of attention all over the country
and numerous editorial comments ore made
on the matter by the newspapers. The fol
lowing from the Muscatlne , la. , Journal of
recent date 'Is a fair Illustration ot the
character of the comment made :
"Omaha gamblers , who hope to run wlds

are rejoicing over the turning down toy the
courts of a state law which made gambling
< i felony ns 'unconstitutional. ' Yet the county
attorney at Omaha says ho can find plenty
of good law to thwart them. And the expo
sition authorities ought to see that he docs

that have taken out licences for next year ,

The prospect for the Increased gymnasium
facilities which It was announced a short
tlmo ago would be offered to the students ol
the Orrj.ih'1 ' Itlg-h acliwl will become an actual
fact with the opening of the coming term.
The proposition of the management of the
Turnvcreln gymcidtium will bo put before
the student. * and from the expressions made
by them Informally It will bo very generally
accepted , probably to the limit of the gym
nasium's accommodations. The proposal of
W. G. lletzcr of the Turnvcreln Is to put his
gymnasium , together with his cervices as In
structor , at the d11710x11 ot High school pupils
for two hours dally free of all charge. His
purpose In doing this U to train classes to
exemplify the superior results pomlblo from
the German sjatcm ot phyalcal culture at the
oxponltlon , as that system , 'In ' ills opinion. Is
the only perfect method for the general de
velopment of tno Mimnn body.
The tlmo placed at the service of the High
school la from 2 until 4 o'clock every aftcr-
uion. Trot. Lcvlstcn of itho High school has
net as yet definitely determined what recom-
mcr.datlcci ho will make In regard to the di
vision of clashes. It VMS his desire that two
classes of fifty each should divide the time ,
which would allow of f > 00 pupils itaklng one
lesson n week , but a dlfilcuUy an o In dis
posing of the last division until Its turn
cnmo and as to the probability that It would
tiot bo on hand at all. So It Is probable that
Instruction will bo givm to one class of 1GO
dally for on hour and three quarters , which
would glvo each one his turn at the ap
paratus.
It U expected that advantage of t > .c alter
will bo taken mataly by girls , who have now
no opportunity for physical training to cor
respond with the drill available to young
mui. There are now more than 700 girls on
the rolls and not only urc they given no
chance for exercise at the High school , but
there Is no gymnasium In the city properly-
equipped for toclr use. Trom Uie spirit with
which they have welcomed the otter of the
Turnvcraln It Is probiblo that the provision
made for the number of COO will be ex
hausted by them alone. They have made an
attempt ot their own lo orgalzc a basket ball
team and have supplied themselves wit i > ' .
ball and baskets. The difficulty with this ,
however , 'Is that there Is not an empty room
In all the building which can be used for this
purpose. An attic lo the front of the build-
in ; ; , which Is new stored with geological
cases and drawing tables , Is being considered ,
but there Is dllllculty In getting It cleared up.
The boja will be able to dev-oto less tlmu
to gymnastic work on account of the big
weekly drill. All of the COO boys In school
are onlloted In this work except those ex
cused for physical disability an < l the cxcr
c'so afforded by it Is sufficient to keep them
In fair condition , The weather has not per
mitted outdoor drilling of late and the tlm&
U consumed in scttlng-up exercises' aad
practice of the manual : of arms In the Millet
ot the building. The former system b hav-
leg a cotlceah'.o ' effect upon the appearance
of the young cadets. The hour's work
every Tuesday and Thursday Is giving them
lupple and graceful figures , lining up uneven
shoulders and dignifying shamii''ag gaits
The exercises were planned for the use ol
matured men aad care is therefore taken
not to strain In any way the bodies of the
young athletes. Those with .the guns have
become totelllgent In the manual c-I arms
la the ehort time since their acquirement
and show renewed Interest In the work
since the guns have been In use. Therq !
are now ninety rlfle.3 fa the armory of ths
cadets , sufficient for the u ! of two of the
five companies , and they- have been obtained
altogether through the efforts of the bays.
Another order of thirty-two Is now on it'i
way from the factory , bought , like tuq
others , with subscriptions ma o for the pur.
pcao and with , the proceeds of different mu
slcals tad theatricals. The guns are ot o
good pattern nnd of the proper weight.
Outdoor athletics , la the lines of tage ball
and truck events , are as yet In a frost-bound

of High school athletics and states bio tie ,
lief that good material will develop in both
these sports whoa there Is an opportunity
for training. The base ball team hao no :
yet elected a captain and no indoor prac

hopes to emphasize the Importance of the
field sports In the coming spring more than
has heretofore L ra done. Some of the men
ho expects to itring out are Jensen , ' 97 , In

WITH THK Mi\S .VX'll ' SHOUT SUITS.
Team AVurlc .Mori' Important Than
Individual I'iiiyltiK.
Team work In the game ot whist , as In
foot ball and other games , has come to be
a moro Important' factor for success than
Individual excellence. In selecting a group
of four players to represent a club It la a.1
ncc-cssiry that each should have ) the faculty
of adapting himself to a system previously
agreed upon ns that' they should all be up
to a certain grade of excellence. Unless
each player confines his play to a plan which
will be i known1 quantity to his ro partucts
It Is Impossible for them to feel the reliance
in him which Is necessary to success. It
docs not Imply thai a player should neces
sarily lower the standard of his play to con
form to another who la less brilliant , but all
members of the learn must play alike under
similar circumstances.
It la team work to return a partner's suit
in place of opening ono'a own unless by es
tablishing the latter In preference and will
make n clearly evident gain. If one's part
ner has had an opportunity to load trumps
when such a lead looked favorable and de
clined , one should not lead trumps unices
very strong In them or well protected In the
plain suits. As 4oon an the partner Indi
cates that conservative play la in order one
should try to discover the weak point In his
hand and endeavor to protect htm In pro
tecting one's self. When weak , one should
furnish all pccrclble support to the partner's
hand nnd not attempt too much with his
own , If ho leads trumps and upon regaining
the lead refuses to continue , one should not
take up the trump lead unless able to
strengthen his hand by RO doing except , of
course , when It la evident that a lltuese In
the trump suit Is desired by the partner.
U la not meant , .that It U advisable that ,
ono should oxorclse his mental pawnra to the
extent required between experts fop cham
pionship honors , but It Is posalblo to apply
many ot the principles and underlying team
work to play one's play at all times. Ono
should bear In mind that It Is not only poa-
tlvo but negative Information which maybe
bo conveyed. In addition , ho must credit
his partner with the ability to read similar
information ! furnished by an opponent and
conn * upon him taking advantage of it at
the earliest moment advisable. No radical
departure from tbo system ot play adopted
by the team should be made unless the posi
tion of the player U Impregnable , as ihcru
have been sudlclent Instances In reccut
wbltt tournaments , notably the engagement
between the Philadelphia nnd American
\Vhbt clubs , when a. temporary advantage
hai been accepted with tuo result of ulti
mate dofrat.
The columns that ore written by the self-
styled "common sense" player. ? In ridicule
of the long suiters uro rather amusing , par.
ttcularly as the arguments against long suit-
en arc Invariably clinched by tbo publica
tion ot a hand Inwhich largo gains are roado
by "common sense" players. These writer. *
usiutno that long nutter * never depart from
the rules liU down by the. to them , ancient
authorities , plvllc allowing for themselves
and their ftolnR the prlvll gc of retort *
Ing to long Milt play whenever they find that
their short milting will nol work. In nearly
nil ot the KhfT they publish the gains are
made morn by poor playing on the part ot
their advertufj > than from merit of the sya-
torn. Thty uovs-r publish any ot the hands
In which a loshils duo to "common sense"
pljtylnc. thoughi every whist player knows
full well that t'jeso loues do occur , and not
lnfrequcntl > 4ii ; The effect of this "common
ronso" plajv jtori , the name Is given to half
\ dozen dlfferrn ( aystema , ds twofold. Klrst ,
beginners hear so much ot the merits ot the
various systems that they are In doubt which
ono to adopt , " sMl as a result attempt them
all and maUdidt'the game a mere guessing
content. Seoondjtland moro seriously. It leads
many to take the same view of whist tint
Is taken ot love , wur and norse trading ,
namely , tbnt all Is fair , and some , scrupul
ously honest In cvcry-day matters , do not
hepltato to resort to private conventions and
other mcthod.1 that go to make a card
sharper. Wo do not assume that any system
Is perfect as yet , nor do wo propcao to con
demn any one system , but we uro op
posed to any attempt to mix the
systems. When a number of players
are satisfied with a system let them
herd together and perfect the system ; not
use It against playeru unfamiliar with their
system and change It whenever It becomes
known. Apropos ot .this a certain paper ,
criticizing 'the rotary discard , stated that
some players , to deceive their adversirlea ,
had changed the common order of the suits
and used that given In bridge whist and winds
up with the following : "Unless the league
steps In and deals with a heavy hand with
the tmrpers the best ot all card games will
real under a heavy cloud uml the league Itself
will be discredited. " This seems to have hit
a prominent camera wnist authority ami to
have hit him hard , for ho dcvctcs a column
cf hla paper to abuse ot the author of tic
above , but docs not deny the tacts as stated.
Uut it is notoriously true that "private con
ventions" nrc spreading llko a pcsUlenco
amcng the whist players of the country. As
Mr. Otis sayo , many are racking their brains
In concocting schemes by which a medium
player can always beat an expert. Some
tlmo since It was stated In a i.iapcr that a
certain ladles' whist club required applicants
for membership to paoa an examination be
fore they were admitted. Tols Is a capital
Idea and It the examinations were extended
to the systems played and then a pledge ex
acted that no system , or even Innovation ,
would bo useJ until sanctioned by the 'club ,
the pleasures of the club would bo greatly
enhanced.

The announcement that the Omaha , Kan.
sas City & Eastern and the Omaha & St.
L.oula railroads , as part of the Port Ar
thur Route , would OD and after toiay absorb
serb the Missouri river bridge tolls on/ / all
shipments of freight Into Omaha nnd South
Omaha created something of a stir In Omaha
railway circles yesterday. Very few of the
freight officials visited' ' their offices ycator
day , and none of the officials of competing
llnea up until last evening had seen , the new
tariff of the Port Arthur Houte which will
remove the bridge toll * Uut they had all
read the announcement La the papers yes
terday and thought considerably moro about
the move made by the new Omaha line than
they did about any sermora they chanced
to hear preached during the day.
Asked what ho thought the effect would
bo on the Durllngtoti end other Iowa lines ,
General Manager Holdrcgo of the 11. & M ,
said to a Ileo reporter : " \Vo cannot tell Just
yet. So for as I know the matter has nol
yet been considered l > y the Iowa lines. Wo
ahull probably get together soon and tl' ' .
cuss the situation oafl do what appears best
for nil concerned. 1 know nothing moro ol
the matter than what 1 have read In the pa.
pers and therefore cannot give you much
Information about It. "
A freight official of niv Iowa lice wld
"I ha\e not Been the new tariff which Mr
Sargent has Issued , but have read all tutout
It In the parcrs. The fact that Saturday
was Chrtetmns day and the day following
was another holiday , tx > far as the railroad
olllccs are concerned , has delayed consider
ation of the matter. Nothing can bo done
before Monday , when the various Iowa llnea
will probably receive their copies of the
now tariff. It is hard to say what will bo
done , but the router will receive very car-
ne&t attention. "
The above Interviews represent the con
census of opinion among the rallrcai ! men
Intprvlcved yesterday. All agreed that U
wm quite an Important move en the part
of the I'ort Arthur Route , but none seemed
willing to venture i prediction ns lohal
the Hock Island , the Milwaukee , the liur-
lliiKton and the Northwestern llrcs would
do In consequmco of the absorptloa of the
bridge charges by a new competitor.
Outside the railway offices the matter wnt
freely dlsciiEaed and the general opinion ap
peared to Lc that the Iowa llnc.s would bi >
compelled to absorb the bridge tollo soonc :
or later , for It they should tot they woulu
lose a considerable volume of 'business ' t. '
the Port Arthur Ilouto.
AMUSEMENTS.
Ogden Bennett , the Alaska traveler and
newspaper correspondent , who will deliver
his Illustrated lecture on the Alaskan gold
fields , entitled "Klondike aa It Is , " at Boyd's
theater this evening , 'was one of the first
newspaper correspondents to reach the
Klondike gold fields early last summer , and
his expcrlcnees , scenes and Incidents on that
( trip have given him material for a lectuic
which In its combination with Mr. La
Uoche's beautiful stercoptlcon views , will
form a rare and Interesting cntctalnmcnt.
Tbo views were taken by Mr. La Hocus
especially for this lecture , and show every
point of Interest on tbe route , over the Talya
trail and Chllkoot pass , Skagway trail and
White pass , Lake Llndcmau and Burnett ,

tion In this city Monday night at the Crcigli-
ton 'theater. ' The
play comes with a long
line of favorable comment and If what Ins
been said of it Li true local th ater
Eoors may look forward with picture to
witnessing one of the
very latest of suc-
ccsjful American plajs. by an American
author. "Any one who desires to see n
yeille , human and moving drama should EPS
the new southern play , 'At PIncy Ridgp.1 "
SO said Allan Dale , whose caustic pen Is.
used oftonpr to probe the gaping wounds
or poorly constructed dramas than In writ-

he is not alone in his well-spoken com

able notice that followed the morning after
this play was brought to light last Feb

Give her time ,
and almost every soap.using woman will come
around to the use of Pearline. The soap-
using habit is strong , to be sure. After
all these years some women can't put
it aside without doubting and trembling.
But when a woman once wakes up
to the fact that she needs and de
serves the very best household
help , then the arguments in favor
of Pearline prove stronger .than any
soap habit. w
There's ease , economy , quickness , health '
and safety in Pearline washing and cleaning.
