The work was all done by hand by Monsieur Gas- pard, the Duluth decorator. The dining room is lighted by eight large plate glass windows and thirty-six «Tungsten lights hung from chande- lers in clusters of six each. ‘The sixty-five rooms of the hotel are all equipped with hot and cold running water and a stationary washbowl. Twenty of the rooms have baths adjoining. FEach room has a large double bedstead of the latest design, two chairs and a dres- ser.

She had won his enthusiastic heart by under- standing the game right off and he loved her even more than if she had been his sister. “It reminds me of the household”, he said. ‘“‘The plate, the batter, the fouls and. the flies.” “And it reminds me of marriage,” she added, “first the diamond, where they are engaged; then the struggle and the hits, when the men go out: and finally the difficulty in getting home.” Then he sat and thought and thought.

WORK BEING RUSHED ON GHANNEL DREDGING Dr. Gaebelein Temporary Dam Has Backed up Water —Little in River Below Warfield Plant. Work on dredging the new channel in the Mississippi four hundred feet from the outlet is progressing rapidly and will probably be completed on schedule time. A temporary dam of timbers and bags of sand has been built just below the Inter- national railroad bridge and is keep ing back the water. The dam is about three feet high and has backed up quite a head of water. Yesterday scrapers were put to work and a large quantity of sand and stones were hauled up on either bank. Below the dam, the water is only a foot deep in the largest holes so that the teams can work easily. The channel has been staked out and will be four hundred feet long and wide enough for two boats to pass with ease. No water was going through the Warfield dam yesterday as the wires ‘were being chan_ged over to high ten- sion. Power.for the city was obtained from the steam operated dynamos in the city plant. Below the dam the river was almost totally dry and the few pools offered fine fish- ing for the farmers along the banks, The Boat club needs thirty dollars more to make up the fund of one hundred dollars necessary for the dredging and asks that contributions be sent in as soon as possible. the reading rooms, which ‘are now nicely furnished, A large number of visitors have called at the Li- brary and have greatly admired the building and the beautiful lo- cation,” At the Majestic. ““More than satisfied” is the un- anamous verdict of those who saw the moving pictures at the ‘Majes- tic last night, The subject, ‘Penitent of Flor- ence,” stirred the audience to tears and joy.
