It can be seen through the plate glass windows from Sixteenth street, below the Sixteenth-street entrance. The parlor is a gem, furnished with beautiful over- stuffed furniture, made in the factory de- partment of the building, highly polished saddle-seat rockers of solid mahogany, imported in the rough wood and finished in the factory, pretty carpet and cur- tains, artistic draperies, ail combining to produce an effect of a furnished ideal cottage. You observe the lavish use of plate glass show-windows, and are not surprised when told that there are 4000 square feet of French plate glass on the Mission and Sixteenth-street sides of the butlding. We will go upstalrs now, and take a look at the carpets, curtains, parlor fur- niture, ete. In front, 80 by 20 feet, is the drapery department. Here are curtains galore, curtains pretty and cheap for modest homes, elegant designs in Not- tingham and Battenberg for more pre- tentious homes. Here are cozy corners and artistic effects, and the light pouring in from windows on all sides enables the buyer to see evervthing to the best ad- vantage. Blankets and comforters are to be found in a corner of this depart- ment. In the rear of the drapery department, and extending back 100 feet, is parlor fur. rockers, luxuriously upholstered chalrs, and everything that contributes to com- fort and adornment in the way of par- lor furniture is to be found here. This is only a section of the space on this floor, an acre. It is big enough for four build- ing lots, with yards in the front and rear, and every foot of space is utilized. In the rear of the parlor furniture, and connected by two great arches, are the carpets, thousands of rolls of Wiltons, Axminsters, Moquettes, body Brussels, three-ply and tapestries; rugs of the same makes in great variety and many beautiful and unique designs. Here are carpets enough to reach to San Jose, and rugs enough to make a station at every 100 yards of the distance. At the end of this floor, and separated by a partition, over the shipping depart- ment, are the workrooms, where carpets are sewed and furniture made, put to- gether and polished. The top floor is a wareroom. As you walk along the aisles the furniture is corded up on either side in stalls. Each separate article has a separate stall A raliway runs the entire length of the building, and big flatcars convey the fur- niture to ‘the elevator in the rear. The elevator takes it to the shipping depart- ment, which we will visit just as soon as niture, inviting settees and sofas and | we take a peep at the man up here in the garret, who Is an authority on window Hints to Housewives, by a Celebrated Expert hold Furnishings. « .« « « gest house furnishing st, but one that is the 1 artistic.

He has a Ilittle workroom all to himself, and, like everybody else in this great swarming hive, he is busy. Down in the shipping department we can’'t help but note how nicely arranged and adjusted everything is. Furniture descending from the wareroom by the ele- vator is loaded in wagons that stand be- side the platform. In the rear of the building is a drive and a team and wagon can enter from one street and, after the wagon is loaded under cover, exit on another street. Here we encounter Mr. Pattosien. He was superintending the loading of a lot of | goods that were going out. “Qur large country orders,” he ex-| plained, “‘and so many rainy days during | the winter season made It necessary for us | to have a shipping room where we could load under cover.

This land was bought and pald for by the Cherokee Indians with their own money and their own property. It was pat- ented to them. It has been urged that the Cherokees are Indlans and wards of the Gov- ernment, that Congress has the right to gov- ern them as it seeg fit; that they are wards Government, in other words, minors, and that the Government has the right to rusa them. But it appears to me that that view would hardly be justified by law, and, In fact. the court thinks it could not be tolerated for a minute. These Indians were regarded as of age and able to contract when the Government bought their property from them: when they bought the Cherokee Strip and their lands in Georgla and Tennessee. The plea of infancy can only be pleaded by the infant and no‘ by any other party. The Government cannot plead that these are infants, since the Government by lts own contract recognizes their right to con- tract. COUNTY CONVENTIONS HELD. Special Dispatch to The Call.

Amends the Sherman Law So as to Make More Effective the Pro- secution of Unlawful Combines. S R WASHINGTON, June 2.—Only one vote was cast in the House to-day against the Littlefield anti-trust bill to amend the Sherman act of 1890 to make it more ef- fective in the prosecution of trusts and combinations, their agents, officers or at- torneys. Mann (R.) of Illinofs cast the negative vote. The bill, according to the statements of the Republican leaders, goes to the limit of the authority of Con- gress under the constitution. All the Democratic minority amendments except one were defeated. That was an amend- ment declaring that nothing in the act should be construed to apply to trades unions or labor organizations. All except eight Republicans—Aldrich of Alabama, en and Littlefield of Maine, Balley, Long and Calderhead of Kansas and Can” non and Hitt of Illinois—voted for it. The bill amends the Sherman anti-trust law so as to declare every contract or combination in the form of trust or con- spiracy in restraint of commerce amon; e States or with forelgn nations filegar, and every party to such contract or com- bination guilty of a crime punishable by a fine of not less than nor more than $5000, and by imprisonment not less {han six months nor more than two years.
