The first number of Literature starts out
with an article eminently appropriate , In
which the editor dlscunes the author and
critic In a czndld manner and In the light
ot moJcrn relationships between the two lead.
Ing characters In the literary world , The
evolution of the critic Is followed from the
earliest stage , the stage In which there wane
no such thing as a critic and the world
Una ono In which the authors had the whole
Hold to themselves. "Such a world there
once wa , " siyfl Literature , "and , Indeed , the
day ot Us existence was not so very far
removed from our own. " Hut the golden age
of llteraturo ran Its course and passed away ,
and the silver ago nueceeded early In the cen
tury. Tbo commencement was with the es
tablishment of the Edinburgh Ilevlew. Ob
icurlty then for the first time ceased to be
n protection. Criticism began to organize
Ittelf , end ,1 little band of reviewers arose
who , not content with discussing the merits
of such writers ax had already gained the
car of the public , affected , as they still affect , ,
to sit In judgment on the claims of these
who were as yet only aspiring to win It.
Then followed the establishment ot the Lit
erary Gazette and. the critic began to go
about his sinister busVies ? every week. As to
the Iron age , Its commencement Is almost an
affair of je.itcrday. "It began when the
dally newspapers , Instead of bestowing
merely a casual and Intermittent notice
upon literature , took to opening their col
umns liberally to the reviewer at short In
tervals and regularly recurring dates. " Uut
the legend ot the author's hostility to the
"Irresponsible , Indolent reviewer" has not
survived , and the author's attitude toward
this Immense development ot tbo critical
Industry has been surprisingly different from
what might have been expected. "One would
think that ho welcomed criticism Instead of
repelling It ; " says Literature , "that It stimu
lated Instead of discouraging his literary
ambitions , and that his dread ot Injustice
had been completely conquered by his desire
lor notice. It had apparently been homo
In upon even the great unappreciated that
obscure merit , after all , fares better with
too many critics than with too few or none ,
and may congratulate Itself that Its lot has
been east In a time when , Instead of sinking
helplessly In the Icy waters of neglect , It Is
much more often found floating , perhaps too
buoyantly , on a 'boom. ' "
In this admirable spirit Literature Is In
troduced to the literary world. There Is
much in the first number pleasing. It Is an
nounced by the publishers , the Harpers , that
It Is "an International gazette of criticism , "
and the first number shows that the editor
Is prepared to make good the name. There
ere reviews of the "Memoir of Tennyson , "
by his son , of the collection of "Private
Papers ot William Wllbcrforce , " of "Dowd-
cn's History of French Literature , " of a new
Hussion Biographical Dictionary and many
other good books. The number also contains
Hudyard Kipling's new "White Horses , "
which will furnish food for the critics and re
viewers for some time. Literature Is to
make its appearance weekly.
A volume on "Shore Birds , " from the pen
of Prof. Daniel G. Elliott was so favorably
received by sportsmen and 'bird ' lovers gen
erally that ho waa encouraged to prepare a
companion volume on the "Gallinaceous
Game Birds of North America. " To these
who are familiar only with the quail , thu
pralrlo chicken , the sago hen and a few
others It would seem that the subject U
almost too limited for a whole volume unless
the author chooses to fill It with ancedotcs.
Hut Prof. Elliott findn the subject abundantly
The commcn name of each bird Is given , or
all tlio common names. If more than ono ;
tlicro are Illustrations of each ono ; then fol
lows an account of the habits and economy of
the epeclcs , und a short life history ; after
which comes the Latin name succeeded by
the geographical distribution , and a descrip
tion of both sexes , when necessary , and of
the young whenever possible. In an ap
pendix are keys to families , subfamilies , etc. ,
and a color scheme Is presented that will
leave the reader no reason for misunderstand
ing the descriptions of plumage. The galli
naceous game birds Include tbo partridges ,
grouse , ptarmigan and wild turkeys , and
thcso are the most useful of all thd birds.
They are also the gamest birds for the sportsmen -
men and quite as well distributed over the
country as the shore birds. Their lives and
liablts ought to bo familiar to thoubunds
who only have the slightest knowledge or an
Imperfect knowledge of these things. "As
articles of food they arc of Inestimable
value , " says Prof. Elliott , "and the birds
enter largely Into the various accounts of
trade. But besides the commercial aspect ,
which Is Important enough , tbo species pre
sent other attractions that appeal most
strongly to those for whom thlo book Is
written , the sportsmen , viz. , the pleasure
they yield In the chase , and the Incentive
they provide for action and effort , when , In
the leafy aisles of the whispering forests , erIn
In the thickets and along the banks of the
leaping stream , or on the open sky-encircled
prairie , man In his quest for tbeso ganic-
llko creatures , aided by his fothful dog , finds
renewed health and strength to wrestle
ivlth the tolls and troubles ot his dally life
J''or accomplishing this result alone , even I
In all their llfn and death they yielded no
other , these birds were not created In vain. '

These who have learned to appreciate good

folaloil , In half apology for the publication
of this volume , though no apology Is needed ,
( hit a college profMSor was making some
remarks , In the course of which he said that
about a dozen of the Easy Chair essays In
Harper's Magazine so nearly cover the more
vital nucstloaa ot hygiene , courteay and
morality , that they might be gathered Into
a volume entitled "Are Hecto Vivendi , " and
upon this suggestion the collection was
made and the title r ge bears this appella
tion , As showing the length of tlmo Mr.
CurtU was engaged in this fine essay writ
ing for Harper's , one of the essays In this
volume W-IH published In 1861 and another
In 1801 , the others scattered In the time
between. Mr. Curtis discussed the largo
nd Ihe small affairs ot life with equal
freedom , and these essays largely deal with
those things ordinarily regarded as too small
for consideration separately , but wh'ch ' In
the aggregate go to make up life. These

The "New Letters of Napoleon I , " to bo
published shortly by D. Applcton and Com
pany , will bo awaited with much Interest.
An English critic remarks that "tho most
authentic likeness Is that drawn by Nape
leon's own hand , and the "New Letters"
manifest the great man In his smallest and
most secret moods. Napoleon hero confides
his desires , hopes , fears , thoughts , methods ,
system , In such wise OB no psychological his
torian could rival. Another critic says that
"for brutality and persuasiveness thcso let
ters cannot bo matched In the literature of
the world. " The "New Letters , " now pub
lished for the first tlmo , wcro omitted from
the collection Issued under the auspices of
Napoleon III.
The papers contributed by Hon. Bonjamln
Harrison to the Ladles' Homo Journal last
year and the year before on matters relating
to the general government attracted a great
deal of attention. The fact ot the writer hav
ing been In official position , where It was ab
solutely neccesary that ho should make him
self familiar with the affairs of the govern
ment , and aside from this his well known
ability es a constitutional lawyer and writer
on state topics , mndo the papers altogether
unique In their line. Now they have been
gathered Into a volume , thoroughly revised
by the author , propsriy Intro
duced and published for the benefit of ambi
tious Americans who want to know Just hnw
the government Is run. As General Harri
son says In the preface , the volume docs not
deal with the material resources of the coun-
ry , as might bo Inferred from the title , "This
Country of Ours , " and It has nothing to do
with lands , or merchandise or markets , and
even It In not a philosophic dissertation on
ilvlcs , nor a commentary on the constitution ;
iut It Is "a modest attempt to give the read
ers a vlow of the machinery of our national
government In motion , and some Instruction
as to the relation and uses of Its several
jarts. " This purpose Is perfectly fulfilled.
Tlio author deals with the constitution and
In some measure with the history of the
formation ot the government bui more
largely with the Inner workings of the great
departments at the capital In Washington.
It Is a handy volume of reference on mat
ters connected with the United States gov
ernment. Charles Scrlbner's Sons , New York.

GREAT BELL FOR NEBRASKA

Exposition Attraction
CHINESE WONDER TO BE REPRODUCED
Mountain of Cant 'Iron to 'He AVorkcil
Ul > b > - Chliivnc ArllimiiM lit the
liXlllMINO Of tllC
; . \MNOclntIon ,
The most remarkable preposition yet sub
mitted to tlio exposition 1ms been received
by the Department ot Exhibits from Wong
Chin Pee , Chinese commissioner ( or the ex
position. It In based on the assertion of
Wong Chin Pee , as expressed when ho was
n Omaha the last tlmo , to the effect that the
Ctilrcso nrc the most successful manipulators
of Iron In the world. Ho savs his people
have methods ot casting totally unknown In
hU country and secure rcsulta which the
nctal workers of modern civilization never
dreamed of.
This bread claim Is berne out by the
rather startling nature of the proposition
which Fee makes to the exposition manago-
nent. His letter , couched In quaint lan
guage and showing Idiomatic peculiarities
icfo and there. In brier , Is this : He offers ,
'or the sum of $50,000 , to reproduce the ,
famous bell of Nankin , the great boll which ,
was In existence In this ancient Chinese
city 2,700 years ago. This bell was a quar-
: er of a mile In circumference and was made
of cast Iron. Fee says a stroke upon this
monster bell could bo heard all over the
state of Nebraska and ho suggests that It
might bo called the Nineteenth Century boll
of Nebraska ,
Pee proposes to cast this giant bell on the
exposition grounds. This would require the
labors of 330 skilled Chinese mechanics from
the greatest Iron foundry In China , whom
Pee proposes to Import especially for the
purpose , < i part of his proposition being that
these men shall be allowed to go wherever ,
they please after the bell Is finished.
One oC the most peculiar things In con
nection with Poo's proposition and one which
gives color to his statement that Chinese
methods of casting arc entirely different
from these In UBO In this country Is his
suggestion that the casting of the bell been
on regular days and ho suggests that Sat
urday of each week bo designated for this
purpose , saying that on fifteen consecutive
Saturdays the bell would bo cast. Ho pre
dicts that millions of people from all parts
of the world will como to see the casting
of "the cast Iron bell of Nankin. "
Fee provides that the exposition manage
ment or the state of Nebraska shall furnish
the material needed In easting this bell and
that It shall also furnish $20,000 worth of
machinery to assist In the operation. Ho
guarantees to complete the bell one week
before the exposition closes , "to toll the
closing hours cf the exposition and never to
sound again until the next Fourth of July. "
In the latter port of his letter Fee sug
gests a schedule of days en which the great
bell should be struck In commemoration of
some event of great Importance. He sug
gests twelve strokes on each Fourth of July ,
a similar number of strokes on Washing
ton's birthday and New Year's day , ten
strokes on Lincoln's birthday , the same on
Grant's birthday , twelve strokes In celebra
tion ot the preservation of the union In 1803
and lastly , "Twelve stroke's on the death ot
each man or woman who has brought up a
meritorious family , ono of which lias been
a benefactor to the publlo and a patriot to
his country , and not one ot Its members has
willfully committed a wrong act toward his
neighbors. "
This remarkable document will bo taken
under advleement by the manager of the De
partment of Exhibits.
FUOJI THIS OHIO MAXUFACTL'KKHS.
Many ApiillontlniiH for Spurt *
from the llnrkcyc Slnto.
Robert P. Hodglns of this city has re
turned after an extended trip through the
Btato of Ohio In the Interest of the exposition.
Mr. Hodgtas was appointed a special com
missioner of the Department of Exhibits and
has been traveling over Ohio during the
past two or three months Interesting man
ufacturers In the exposition and Inducing
them to make arrangements for exhibiting.
He reports that he met with a nattering re
ception at the hands of the Ohio manufact
urers and found them awake to the fact
that an exposition was to bo hold In Omaha
In 1898. Ho secured applications for space
from all the prominent manufacturers In the
state representing all the lines of manufact
ure except the harvester men. The latter
have a close agreement not to make an ex
hibit at any fair or exposition , but Mr. Hod-
gins says that when he convinced them of
the magnitude of the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position they showed signs of breaking over
the agreement.
Mr. Hodglns says that the most powerful
argument ho was able to produce to the
manufacturers was the bird's-eye view of the
grounds which was made by the Werner
Publishing company of Akron , 0. , at the tiir
stance of the Department of Publicity acid
Promotion. Ho says this picture took them
all by surprise and convinced them that the
Transmlsslaslppl Exposition would be a second
end World's Fair.
Many of the applications for space secured
by Mr. Hodglns from manufacturers have
been announced from time to time as they
were received by the Department oC Ex
hibits , but ho brought with him several
which are from very largo concerns. Prom
inent among thcso Is the Goodrich Rubber
coirrany of Akron , O. This concern has
applied for 7,728 feet of sraco and will ex
pend a large sum of money on Its exhibit.
It has selected Its space and will bo located
at the Intersection of the main aisles In the
Manufactures building.
The application of the Werner Publishing
company Is another of these brought by Mr.
Hodglns. This company will occupy 200
feet with a display In the educational de
partment , Including school books , examples
of line bindings , lithograph work , etc.
Among other applications are these of the
Globe Sign company , the Sello Gear com
pany , the Star Drilling company. Diamond
Match company , Auxerican Cereal company ,
etc.

The exposition grounds presented a lively
appearance yesterday morning. The clear ,
frosty air seemed to make the blood of the
workmen circulate at a lively gait and
the work seemed.q \ fairly fly. The-
r-ecul with which the heavy timbers
were swung Into place-i was la strong
contrast with the conditions on Mon
day , when the raw air and the strong north
wind seemed to penetrate to ( he bone and
kept pieces of boards , shavings , tools and
stepladders flying about la all directions and
llttlo progress' could bo made.
The east etid of the lagoon was completely
covered with n thin sheet of Ice which waa
half an Inch thick In some places. The Icy
covering extended nearly to Twentieth street
In some places and several small boys stood
about looking longingly at the shining sur
face , but none ventured to try It except by
throwing largo pieces of wood or other-debris

"Tho mlDlng Interests W Idaho will bo
represented at this cx > slfyon In n manner
which will open Uio foes tot Ihe people of
Uila part ot the country.ana of the cast. "
This was the statUmieht made by Vic
Blcrbower of Shoshonc , Idaho , as ho gazed
about the main court -at the exposition
grounds and admired > | ho prospect for a
beautiful architectural 'jDffect. Mr. Bier-
bower formerly lived In Omaha , and has
been for several yearn Identified with public
affairs In Jdaho. having held the olllco of
United Stales district attorney for a number
of years and having ; been lieutenant gov
ernor of the state during the term ending
with the beginning ot the current year. He
ha.i taken a lively Interest In the exposition
and assisted In entertaining the party ot
exposition promoters who vlstled the moun
tain states last summer. Ho also appeared
bcforo the legislature ot Idaho and endeav
ored to persuade the members that an ap
propriation should bo made for a state ex
hibit , but no state appropriation was made.
"I have been quite enthusiastic over the
Idea ot a transmlsslsslppl exposition , " paid
Mr. Blerbowcr , "but I had no Idea that the
people down here wcro making such
elaborate plans for It. I have seen glowing
accounts ot the affair In the newspapers and
In the llteraturo sent out , but you know I
rather made allowances for newspaper en
thusiasm and all that sort ot thing. Dut I
am amazed at the evidences hero on the
grounds of the magnitude of this thing.
Thcso buildings are on a magnlflrent scale
and the sight of this beautiful main coifrt
Is enough to enthuse a wooden Indian. This
will bo n second World's ' Fair. I must look
Into all the details so as to bo able to tell
our people back In Idaho all about It when
I go home.
"Judging from the size ot the Mines build
ing , the mining exhibits fere going to bo a
prominent feature of the'exposition. . Our
people are making preparations to show the
people of the east what we hir/o out there.
Our mining exchanges are taking charge ot
the matter and Idaho will be on hand with
a fine exhibit of minerals' and metals. We
have no state appropriation , but public
fcolrUod men all over the state are interested
In seeing that the state Is properly rep
resented and wo will bo'on hand with an
exhibit that will be an eye-opener. "
W. II. Sutherlln , editor of the Rocky
Mountain Husbandman , ' White Sulphur
Springs , Mont. , and vice president of the
exposition for that state , who In In the city
centering with the management with re
gard to the Montana exhblt | , says that up
to this time he and the governor have been
making the arrangements for the exhibit ,
but that from now on they will have the
assistance of a commission of seven. He
suspects that a state building will not bo
erected. "This Is because , " he says , "our
appropriation is not largo and wo feel that
since the exposltlcn Is putting up such mag
nificent buildings wo ougltt .rather td try to
get Inside ot them thancontent * ourselves
with a plain llttlo building of our own. "
Ho Is not yet sure just how much space
the state will require. It will be taken In
the Mines and Mining " ami .the Agricultural
buildings. A specialty "will be made of tbo
mineral display and all 'the ' miners In the
state are thoroughly Interested In It. It Is
expected that the silver statue which was
at the World's Fair will be one of tbo
features. The agricultural and horticultural
collections have already been secured. Mr.
Sutherlln says ho supposes people will be
somewhat suiprlscd to learn that apples
weighing thlrty-ono ounces can bo raised In
the Hitter Root country , , but ocular proof
of It will be submitted atjtho exposition.

Colonel Robert M. Floyd ot Jersey City has
been elected president and Ellsha D. Gaddls
ot this city treasurer ot the New Jersey
commission for the Transmlsslsslppl and In
ternational Exposition , which Is to be held
at Omaha , Neb. , beginning on June 1 of next
year and continuing five mouths , says the
Newark Evening New p. The commission
will stretch its scope from one end of the
state to the other and will exert every effort
to make the New Jersey representation at
the Omaha exposition creditable In every
way.
It Is the Intention ot the commission to
devote particular attention to the depart
ment of manufactures , In which class of In
dustry Newark Is ono of the most Important
cities of the country. Realizing how greatly
they have been benefited by previous ex
hibitions In various states of the union the
manufacturers promise to join heartily with
tbo commission In making the state display
at Omaha a better one than has ever gone
out from New Jersey.
It is urged that there.Is no city of the
eamo slzo In the world that has so many
and such Important factories of all classes
as Newark , and that the Nebraska exhibi
tion will furnish the local producers in
creased facilities for advertising their wares
through every section of the great west.
Though so recently organized the commis
sion finds that Its work Is rendered more
easy by the active Interest manifested In Its
work by citizens of Newark and not alone
among the manufacturers , but among the
general commercial classes aa well.
Dividing ( InCinillly Fliml.
The conference between the executive com
mittee of the exposition and the Board of
County Commissioners has resulted In the

Story of a South Onintia
Dy the filing of a petition for a divorce
the Hudlgcrs have again been brought Into
prominence. Thls time , however , they are
(
In the divorce Instead ot In the criminal sec
tion of the district court.
In the petition now on file the husband ,
Franklyn T. Kudlgcr , asks a bill ot separa
tion from Ills wife , Elolao Uudlger. The
plaintiff In the case charges certain acts ot
infidelity upon tbo part 01 UlR wife , alleging
that they constitute a good anuilld cause
of action.
Some four years ago on educated German
named Riser drifted Into South Omaha and
gave out the Information that he was a
baron , that ho was wealthy , and was In this
country largely for the purpose of spending
his Income. "Daron" Riser was a good
dresser , young and good looking , and cut a
pretty wide swath to certain social circles.
Ho formed an attachment for the Iludlgcrs
and was welcomed to the homo , being known-
as a friend of the family. U was not many
weeks 'before ' there was a scandal , and the
names ot the baron and Mrs. Hudlger were
connected therewith. Matters went from bad
to worse , end Mrs. Hudlgcr's friends and
associates cut her acquaintance. Then the
climax was reached. One night In Novem
ber , four years ago , the baron and Mrs. Rudl.
ger were walking down the street , when the
woman suddenly whipped out a revolver that
she had concealed In the folds of her dress ,
and pointing It at Hlser sent a couple of bul
lets Into the body of her companion. Ho
lived some three weeks after. Mrs. Iludlger
surrendered and was sent to Jail. She main
tained that she shot Hlser on account of
some * Indecent proposals that he had made.
Mrs. Uudlger was charged with murder
and remained In the county Jail for some
months prior to the trial. She was given
the best cell In the county bistllc and was
supplied with all the delicacies that the mar.
ket afforded , no one knowing where the
money came from with which to make the
purchases. There were two trials , the firM.
resulting In a disagreement and the oecctid
In an acquittal. After her release from
custody Mrs. Hudlger returned to her hus
band and continued to live with him until
recently , when ho alleges that she bad been
false to her marriage vows.

The family affairs of linijamln and Pauline
Moores , husband and wife , have got Into
the courts , the latter suing for a divorce from
the former , to whom she was married at
Heralngford , this state , on August C , 1880.
In her petition , now on file In the office
of the clerk of the district court , the plaintiff
tells a Ictig tale ot woe , alleging Ill-treatment ,
that commenced soon after the wedding. She
alleges that this Ill-treatment continued
without Interruption until the separation
which occurred on March 17 of the nresenl
year. Aside from wanting a divorce , Mrs
Moores asks the court to grant her allmonj
and an allowance while the suit , just started
Is pending. In support of her claim for ali
mony , the plaintiff alleges that the de
fendant Is ono ot the rich ranchers of the
western portico of the state , being the owner
of $30,000 worth of land In the counties of
Sioux , Dox nutte and Dawes. She also says
that he boa cattle and horses ot the value ot
$15,000 and $1,000 In the bank.
In answering the allegations ot his wife ,
Benjamin Moores admits that ho has a fair
supply of worldly goods , but that he has
secured them through his own efforts and
not by the assistance of his wife. He denli > *
the alleged Ill-treatment and avers that he
has been a model husband at all times and
places slnco his marriage with the plaintiff.
For a further answer , the defendant charges
that the plaintiff Is possessed of a violent
temper and that ho Is the party who has been
111 treated In the premises. Ho cays that the
plaintiff shamefully abused his children by a
former wife and was anything but a motlnr
to them. In another allegatlcn the defend
ant alleges that the plaintiff had access to
his bank book and was permitted to draw
drafts for such amounts as she saw fit. In
resisting the claim for alimony , the de
fendant files a receipt , purporting to have
been signed by the plaintiff , on March 17 ,
1897 , In wlilch , for the sum of $212.50 , she
releases him from all further financial obliga
tions , accepting this amount In full of claims.
He also alleges that upon the payment of this
sum bo and the plaintiff agrped to discon
tinue their marriage relations and separate.

With the burial of Andrew Anderson from
the morgue yesterday afternoon a life's
pathetic history Is concluded. Anderson died
at 210 South Twenty-eighth street last Sun
day morning In the midst ot abject poverty.
Ho was formerly well-to-do.
Nearly twenty years ago Anderson came to
this city with his wife and four children.
EIo Applied himself steadily to his trade and
with the nMlstanco of his frugal family
saved a considerable amount of money. A
short tlmo before the boom struck Omaha
early In the SO's , Anderson bought the lot
near Twenty-eighth and Farnam streets , and
AS It rapidly advanced In value with the
good times , later constructed a comfortable
homo upon It. The family continued to
prosper and everything Indicated that the
homo would bo paid for. Hut this was not
to bo. About four years ago the mother
died and then hard times followed. To make
matters worse the father was growing old
and his health was not of the best. Then ho
lost his occupation. For the last three
years Anderson has suffered from consump
tion. The homn far which hn linrl Inhnmil en
hard was forclosed under the mortgage ho
had placed MI It and In his last hours the
Invalid thought It very likely ho might bo
forced to die without a roof over his hood.
The last six months of his life Amlcisnn
subsisted upon donations of food contributed
by the kind-hearted neighbors together with
what little money could bo earned by his
ton , A. II. Anderoon , who Is employed at ]
Intervals by the asphalt street paving com
pany.
Numerous times his son Insisted upon |
calling n physlcaln to attend the old
man , but in each Instance the father refused , '
saying that ho know his disease to be Incurable -
curable , and It was not necessary to Incur !
such expense. Anderson died Sunday at the
ago of 53 years , lilo leaves two daughters !
and two sons. After the remains wore removed - |
moved to Coroner Uurkct's undertaking es- !
tabllshment U became a question as to how [
ho should be burled , no money being at <
hand. The suggestion , that the body bo i
turned over to the county was met with '
strong opposition by the sons and daughters - !
ters , so at length the eldest son , who had !
stood by his father many times before In ad-
veislty. secured sufficient money from a
friend to obtain n decent burial for the do-
ceased. The funeral was held from the
morgue yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock , with
Interment nt Forest Lawn cemetery. No one
but the members of the family followed Its
head to his last resting place.
It was stated at one time that Anderson
had been absolutely neglected during his
last Illness. This Is not literally correct.
Ho did not have the care ho needed , but
In a measure ho was respoiwlhlo. When
the Visiting Nurses' association hoard of his
condition he was called on and proffered as
sistance , which ho declined to accept , couch
ing his refusal of arslstnnce In language so
pcsltlve that tbo young women wore indis
posed to press their services on him.

"We may be able to rcceho callers and hold
open house In the now postolllce on New-
Year's day , " said Assistant Postmaster
Woodward yesterday morning with something
llko rejoicing In his tcnes.
The postofilco attaches are considerably
elated over the Information gl\cn In The
Doe's Washington dispatches that Supervis
ing Architect Taylor of Washington has Is
sued Instructions to rush the completion 9f
thb postofflco quarters In the new building
that they may be ready for occupancy on or
before the first of the year. They have be
come very weary ot their present Incommo
dious quarters.
Superintendent Latcnsor Is confident that
with a llttlo hustling the postolllce depart
ment can bo moved Into the now building by
New Year's day. The quarters Will bo com
pleted by the mlddlo of next month. All
that will then bo needed will be the furniture
end there , seems to be no question that the
contract for this can be let nnd filled within
thirty days or a llttlo more.
The same dispatches announce that work
will bo pushed so that the building can bo
entirely ready for occupancy by the date on
which the exposition opens. Superintendent
Latenser says also that this can bo very
oaslly done It the government officials show
a little sp'jcd In awarding contracts.
At the request of the postmaster and his
resistant , Congressman Mercer and Senator
Thurston went to Wcshlngton with the mis
sion of urging upon the Postofilco department
the necessity of hastening the completion of
the building before the opening of the expo
sition and their efforts appear to have had
the desired result.
