i THE 40TH NATIONALL ENCAMPMENT

Continued from pace 1

i thought with a million other peoplethat there could be nothing finer thantho Library of Congress and for pro ¬

portions and size I presume It standsat the top of the list but let me tell youthis brand new Capitol of Minnesotaset on Its hill overlooking half theworld so it seems as you stand on Ittportico Is pushing our famous Wash ¬

ington edifices mighty closoIt looks like a copy of the National

Cprtol on a smaller scale and is muchmore artistic as to building materialfor It is every inch of it above thebastJen48l JiEB22a granite which is

¬

sandstone and the dome ItselfIs of Georgia marble As you see it opits terraced hill from a distance It lookslike a sugar candy house so white andshlninir does it appear Most of its interlor marbles nre Minnesota products I

ST ANTIIONT S FAITSfloor are Minnesota granite These im-

mense¬

columns are in one solid pieceand polished to a mirror like glossinessequal to the finest Italian marble in thebuilding It is quite Impobslble to givean adequate idea of the superb marblesfrom Greece Italy Africa and Francewhich go to make up the decorationsand many of the States of the Unionhave been drawn upon for their prod-ucts

¬

The Supreme Court Room is col ¬

umned with white Vermont marble andin its general appearance very muchresembles the Supreme Court Room ofthe Capitol at Washington which usedto be the old Senate Chamber TheHouse is decorated with columns ofVermont marble and It and the ¬

Court Room and the SenateChamber are furnished and finished nmahogany The leather finishings ofthe Capitol are all of bronze brownpigskin

The Senate retiring room is exquis-itely

¬

done in dull gold with panels ofgray blue The wall panels are In deepcrimson covered with Venetian pat-terns

¬

In dull gold The mantels are ofoak while the fireplaces and hearthsare of red Numldian marble from Afri-ca

¬

The room which appealed to me mostof all J think is the retiring room ofthe House The celling is beamed andcrossbeamed and decorated in colorsand dull gold The walls are wainscot-ed

¬

Jn hand carved oak and above thehigh wainscot is painted a continuousfrieze of tree trunks with an irregularline of the foliage showing at the topand at the foot bordering the frieze is acontinuous painting of the many wildflowers of Minnesota It is all so ex ¬

quisitely done that you feel as thoughyou were Into a dim old forestunder and through the trees birchesoak walnut hickory maple and atyour feet all of Natures dear childrenWere crying to be gatheredh The House Chamber

The House itself Is a perfect pipedream of harmony in browns darkgretn with touches of red and of dullgold around the wall the end andsignature meeting the beginning of thesentence over the head of the Speak-ers

tion from Daniel Webster Letus develop the resources of our landcall forth Its powers build up Its insti-tutions

thing to be rememberedThe grand stairway of the Capitol Is

something that must be seen to be ap-preciated

three foreign countries having ¬

to its beauty France Italy andGreece while Minnesota furnishessome of the most artistic touches

The Ilotnnda

The rotunda reaches to the top of thedome which is In deep cerulean blueand various marbles unite in panelscolumns borders and friezes to makeit one grand artistic success The coloreffects in the various paintings by somefamous artists Is decidedly unique Thetones are largely in pea green deep ul-

tra¬

marine blue violet browns anddark green I do not remember to haveevir seen Just exactly such color com-binations

¬

There is almost no red atall in most of these paintings a color somuch depended upon to give richnessto a painting and you would not thinkthat pea green could ever be made anartistic success In combination withdeep blue and brown but these paint ¬

ings are superbly effectiveI must not forget two old old marble

benches near the entrance doors whichcame from Italy and are almost price ¬

less They were presented to the Stateby Mr John De Lalttro of Minneapoliswho has been a member of the StateCapitol Commission since its formationin 1893

You must visit the Capitol becauseyou will want to seo the old battleflagsand Minnesota has a lot of them Theyare displayed In lunettes around therotunda all safely glassed In and la-

beled¬

so that any veteran who foughtunder one of these flags tattered andtorn and hanging In rags can easilypick It out

Then down In the basement are therooms of the State Historical Societyand once you get In there you are lostindeed It is full of Indian curios In

there Is a Spanish rarrotte used In Ma¬

nila prisons with the shackles and oth-er

¬

Instruments of torture but then- - itIs no use to take up space with tellingyou about these things because youreally must see them to appreciatethem

Minnesota Is to be congratulated onhaving had legislators with foreknowl-edge

¬

enough to build a State Capitol forunborn generations as well as for thosenow upon the scene of action Thisbeautiful Capitol cost over 4000000but It will last forever barring unusualaccident and will be a credit to Minne-sota

¬

hundreds of years after hose whoplanned It are dead

Oh there will be plenty to see whenyou come to Minneapolis and you willnot have an Idle minute from the timeyou land till you get your tickets vali-dated

¬

The people here have plannedpleasure parties State receptions pic-

nics¬

and all that sort of thing till mostof tlig sltyjpjjiipsts win have to put off I

These ladles also intend to make boutonnleres for tho veterans Many otthe State hostesses are preparing a littlesouvenir for their guests but Just whatthese aro to be Is kept qulto a secreteach from the other and there Is agood deal of rivalry over tho effort tosecure tho nicest

In giving the reception to Mrs AbbleA Adams the Department of Minne-sota

Is departing from the regular rou-tine

also I do not remember that thiscourtesy has ever been tendered a National President before There are nocards issued except to distinguish guestsand Convention delegates and officialsbut the rank and file of tho WomansRelief Corps and their friends arc cordlally Invited to attend The receptionwill be at the University Armory Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 6

General regret Is expressed that Commander-in-Chl- ef Tanner finds It lmpossrtble to give the National PresidentMrs Adams but one hour of his timeon Wednesday evening for the recep ¬

The Commercial Club

The Commercial Club of MinneapolisIs sitting up and taking notice It neverhad such a Jolt before In Its life I amtold and It didnt 11kg It one single littlebit but mark me It has been hustlinglike a little man this last week It hasdone moro in the last Ave days than itdid all put together before

For the kind of work that Mr Nye Isdoing for this Encampment he Is verybadly located The Andrus Building Isrun by a lot of pernlckity nice peoplewho havo stringent rules againstabout everything that would show hu-man

¬

Interest in anything There is nota scrap of bunting not a Flag not abanner not a thing about that wholebuilding or the rooms of tho headquar-ters

¬

on tho fifth floor In particular thatwould go to show that in that samebuilding preparations are going on lorwhat Minneapolis claims Is going to beone of the greatest Encampments In

the history of the Grand Army of theRepublic

Decorating be CityThe matter of decorating the city for

tho National Encampment seems tohave been held off a good while for Itwas only settled and tho contract letlast week From a conversation I over-heard

¬

at breakfast one morning I amled to hopo that old Sol will be kindwith his rays pnd Jupiter Pluvlus gen-tle

¬

with his watering can for I gatheredthat the men to whom the contract waslet are not In the regular decoratingbusiness and that they Intend to usecheap cotton stuffs This of coursewould be all right Inside but anybodywho has seen a city cheaply decoratedJust after a rain knows what cheap dec-orations

¬

can do In tho way of runningand fading The scheme of decorationwhile not very elaborate Is capable ofbeing especially effective If done withgood reliable bunting There are to batwo Courts of Honor ono named forLincoln and one for Grant There willbe a tall triumphal column at each endof each court and smaller white col-umns

¬

along the sides of the street Botween these will be festoons of greensand Flags and at night streamers ofvarl colored elctrlc lights The de-

tails¬

of these courts will be carried outto represent Liberty There Is to bea very pretty display of electric light-ing

¬

but generally speaking the citi-zens

¬

and business men are expected todo most of the decorating Tho mem-bers

¬

of the Grand Army of the Repub ¬

lic and the Womans Relief Corps aromaking a special effort and personalploa to their friends to make the decoratlons as lavish as possible

Grand StandThe place for the reviewing stand hai

just been selected Jills is to bo on theprivate grounds of Mr T B Walkerone of the wealthy lumbermen of thecity at the corner of Hennepin Aveand 8th St who has offered the site tothe committee This reviewing standwill accommodate about 2500 and theadmissions will be by ticket from theCommander-in-Chie- f

After arranging for tho reviewingstand the Commercial Club decided tohave other stands erected In properplaces and to charge reasonable ad-mission

¬

The trustees of Plymouth Churchhave granted the G A R commltteospermission to erect a grand stand infront of the church edlflce at NicolletAve and 8th fit Small prlvato standsfor renting of seats will also be built atdifferent places along the line of marchbut no very large stands are exnected

The work of putting cots into theschool buildings of the city for the useof Grand Army members who will at-tend

The moving out of the chairs andseats from tho school rooms and plac-ing

¬

Boston only excepted She has bettericacners nas proportionately mureteachers in number and has a betterschool equipment than any city on thelist except possibly the Hub abovereferred to No one will question thefact that this Is a compliment to theflour City

1 What to WearOt course everybody Is wondering

how to dress for this climate I wouldsuggest that you come prepared for cqojweather and supplied wjth at feastheavy underwear if you do not bringheavy outside clothes Tho weatherhas been delightfully cool and pleasantfor the last two weeks and while themercury hikes way up yonder In thetube there Is little humidity and thonights are all blanket nights nearlyYou will want cool whlto and lightdresses for the day but In the eveninglight wraps are almost a necessity

and the different cities of the countryseem to be holding off In their Intentionof asking for the honor Word comesthat the Texas city has decided to askthe veterans to come South and willmake a determined effort to aocuro theEncampment

I am hazarding a guess that Houstonwill be successful But before the in-

vitation¬

Is accepted I think It would bewise for the Grand Army to Intimate tothe good people of Houston and vicinitythat there is in this country but onoFlag and that Old Glory must head theprocession or it cannot march

The Street Cnra

Every effort seems to be put forth bythe street car transportation lines tomako that service all that it should beSuch a furbishing up of old cars younevor did see and a lot of new onesdouble deckers are to be put on espe ¬

cially for Encampment week Extramstormen and conductors are beingdrilled and one feature that will assistmaterially in handling the cars will bethe presence of ushers at the varioustransfer points and places whero crowdsare liable to take tho cars They willhave semi police power and will preserve order as well as superintend theproper and specdv loading of cars Conductors will be furnished with guidebooks of the city and will be Instructedto lend every possible assistance tostrangers In finding their places of destination

If the street car companies only carryout this idea of Instructing conductorsIt will be a great help to strangersUsually the new conductors are greenas gourds and really get to be as ob-

noxious¬

before the week Is over a3 theydo not know the courtesy due the traveling public If the worried passengeronly can have faith that the directionsof the conductor can be relied upon hewill have a great burden lifted fromhis soul

The Committee on Public OrderEverything In Minneapolis must stop

on the day ot the G A R parade Afterthe veterans start on their triumphalmarch every street along the line ofmarch will be roped oft and strictly po-

liced¬

Carriages automobiles and pe-

have thg line of march In Minneapolisbetter cared for than has ever beendone In any entertaining city Withscores of additional special police onduty and If necessary the Minneapoliscompanies of tho National Guard Itwill be possible to see that absolute or¬

der Is preserved and that there will beno pushing and Jostling After thestreets are cleared they will be sweptclean by a special corps of sweepers

The entire line of march will beroped oTf On 10th street and on Nicol-let

¬
