The present fine weather has permitted
thu work of building the Illinois Central

Judge what kind of a structure It will be
when completed. The depot , which callH
for an expenditure of $50,000 , will , when
completed , be the flnctit of Its kind In the
city. The passenger depot of the North-
wcsttrn toad Is the only one In Council
1)lulls ) that can be compared with It , the
two being very similar In general outline ,
but the ground covered by the Central's
building Is larger by twenty square feet.
If the present favorable weather continues
the contractors expect to have the building
ready for occupancy In about two uiontliH
A little delay was experienced at the outset -
sot owing to the Inability to secure ma
terial , but the brick U now all on the
ground , and the walls arc up to the scc-
omj story In 1ho center. As soon as the
new building Is ready for occupancy the
present frame depot , which has been serv
ing no a temporary convenience , will bo

The depot will be a one-story building ,
except the center portion , which will he

jot the wfbt or main entrance and the two
fireplaces will be of buff pressed brick. All
the cut ptono work will ho of the best
quality buff Bedford stone.
The w'altlng room occupies the main and
central portion of the building. H Is 61 fwt

1IAVAXA , Jan 21 Major Runcle , who
ins been nt work for some time Invcstl-
atlng the circumstances surrounding the
Mention in prison ot persons charged with
arloun offenses , to many of whom no trlnl
has been granted , Is engaged In preparing
report ot n visit ho recently paid to the
women's prison. Thin Institution ho dc-
crlbes ns "a den of filth nnd Iniquity. " Ho
Id not find n cot , a blanket or a female at-
cndnnt In the prison , where several him-
red women are conllned. The sanitary con-
Itlons arc almost Indescribable.
Ho says he cannot understand how such
, plnco could have been tolerated In a so-
inllcd civilized community. Hlo oxamlna-
lon reveals n state of nffalrs woiso than
ny thing yet written regarding Spanish mis
management.
What Major Runcle has already made
: nown seems to astonish the Cuban ot-
Iclals. They aosert that Scnor Lnnuza U
irlnclpally to blame , as In his position as
ecretary of justice In General Brooke's
nblnet , he ought to have discovered the
Alstenco of these enormities.
General Wood dcosrlbcs the leper hos i
iltal , which bo recently visited , as a "filthy I
hog pen. "
The commission which has been Investi
gating the records ot prisoners confined In
he Carcol has nearly completed Its labors.
N'cxt week it will begin the Investigation of
: ases In the Presidio. The prisoners are
iwnltlng the result with great eagerness ,
is nil expect some Improvement In the con
ditions of confinement. The governor gcn-
jral's decree of pardon hno thus far been
applied to 31S.
The bread strike continues. Novcrtho-
css , sufficient bread Is made to supply the
market by the masters and by some of tbo
trlkers who have their own bakeries.
W. W. Howard , general manager of the

The plot hinges on a personal advertise
ment which nppcnied November 8 , nnd
cad ns follows"Charley , do come hick
r let mo hear from you ; letter at general
ilellvery ; am nenily crazy Norn. "
Among the members of the Zlon church's
ongieg.Ulon were Nora Chrlytlansen nnd
'Charlie" Conrnds. Norn 1'ad blue eyes

"Charlie" was straight nnd tall nnd
handsome. The two began to be much In

'ormed that nn engagement , or at Ic.ist "an

ioople.
About April of Inst yenr n demuie young

Aaned nnd the time of the young man he-
'amo ' divided between the two. As the

ung trouble , which developed nt such .1
rate that September n he
went to Albu-
Hierque , N. M , to reg-iln his health. Let- ,

Ikn Falkenberg Miss Christiansen had | |
dropped out of the afTali entirely nnd , as
she said "
today , "had
nothing more to dn

a. degree of coolness existed.
November 8 the "personal" was published.

Nora herself saw It that way and became

"I 1 Just told the girls that I believed she
did it , " said Miss Chiistiaii'icn today. "I
didn't know hho did it , but I told the girls
what I thought "
Falkenberg denied the accusation ,
but even she did not grasp itho Idea that
there were other Charlies and Noras , so sliu
suggested that some one els-u might h.uo

masses of advertising copy until he found
that the "ad" had come from the drug store
