GEORGIA’S NEW CAPITOL.
Something- About its Interior-Ten
Acres of Plastering.
Atlanta livening Journal.
Ten acres of plastering.
It. will take that many to cover the
walls of the new eapitol. The plaster
ing will be something more than an
inch thick, and if it were all pul on one
acre the mass would be a foot deep.
The weight of it will be about 2,250
tons, or as much as the weight of for
ty-four mogul engines.
But the plastering is a small part of
the grand pile which Georgia is build
ing for her seat of government; and
though old Stone mountain, fifteen
miles to the east, raising its granite
sides in sullen grandeur, seems to pro
test against a eapitol of Indiana lime
stone, its summit will not sooner meet
the sun than that exalted dome.
Two hundred and thirty feet above
t he earth the observer in the lantern of
rhat dome will see Kennesaw clearly
with the naked eye, and with a good
glass he will reach Lookout mountain.
From the base of the dome where
the masons are now at work, there is a
tine cycloraniic view. From Atlanta
the land slopes away on all sides in un
dulating surface, with strips of wood
land skirting the fields, and stray ham
lets dotting the distant slopes. ZS’oth-
, ing so clearly* shows Atlanta’s com
manding position and the great area
over which the city is spreading as this
bird’s-eye view.
But the chief interest at present is
within, where two hundred workmen
scattered through this great building
are almost lost. Here and there you
see two or three and you wonder where
the workmen are. On the dome there
are thirty or forty at work, and about
a. dozen masons there are putting in
25,OCX) brick a day. Only ten feet more
of stone and brick and the iron section
of the dome, with its numerous col
umns, will begin to rise. That, will
carry it about 60 feet above its present
height, and then the lantern will carry
it forty feet higher, and above that, on
a pedestal, the Goddess of Liberty will
f rise 16 feet, 24 feet with the pedestal.
The top of the statue will be 262 feet
i above the ground, and the highest
lookouts will be in the upper part of
t the lantern, about 250 feet from the
} earth.
The vaulted ceiling of the rotunda is
| i7g feet from the first floor. Around
I this rotunda there are no promenades,
$ but there are openings on each floor
H where a person can go to a railing and
4look over into it, above and below. The
4great opening is 75 feet in diameter, its
C walls rise perpendicularly up to the
JfOornices where the ceiling begins to
to heat the building and drive the two
I fans that are to send fresh air all
through it.
The sanitary arrangements are in
every respect ample, and a system of
electric call bells will add to the com
fort and convenience of the offices.
The commission has been shown a
very ingenious arrangement, which, it
j adopted, will be of great value in the
j preservation of records, while it will
| make the handling of heavy books an
j easy matter. The walls are furnished
j with metal racks, divided into spaces
j the proper size for the heavy books of
j record. In each space is a metal truck
upon which the book lies. The truck
rolls in and out with the book, making
it easily accessible. Tins horizontal
position of the books will preserve the
binding, while the ordinary method

Boys thrown upon the world with
out means or trade fall an easy prey
to temptation. Here is a field for the
well-wishers of the race to exert a most
beneficial effect on the young manhood
of America by establishing schools
where boys can cheaply and easily learn
trades and acquire habits of industry.
In Randolph county last year the ne
groes increased their taxable property
14 per cent., a much larger increase
than that made by the whites of the
county. The negroes of Terrell are
also coming to the front, and we have j

openings 40x60 feet, reaching from the
irst floor to the top of a rectangular
'lantern which rises twenty feet above
hereof. The light is admitted to the
ilia ft through fourteen large windows
a the sides and end of the lantern,
lie windows are ten feet square, with
vlied tops.
These great light-shafts are located.
One to the north and one to the south
of the rotunda. Around each one of
them there is. on every floor, a corridor
fifteen feet wide, to be paved with
yhite marble tiles, twelve inches

own weight. The horizontal position
entirely avoids this, and will preserve
the books for a much longer time. In
this position, too, the books are more
difficult to burn than oak timber.
There is not much danger of fire,
however, as it would hardly be possible
to burn anything but the furniture and
hardwood finish of an apartment.
The iron floor supports, four feet
apart, have flanges on each side to sup
port t he hollow tiling between ceiling
and floor. The tiles are made in such
angular shape that a number of them
form a wedge four feet wide between
the supports. This wedge principle is
somewhat similar to that of the arch.
It lias been tested with a weight of 2,-
500 pounds to the square foot.
If the new eapitol is finished by the
time specified in the contract, the next
Legislature will be the first to air its
eloquence under these great porticos,
and around those grand corridors will
assemble the groups of members to dis
cuss the merits of senatorial and judi
cial candidates.
It is not likely, however, that tin*
occupation of the building will be
gin until next spring. The work will
hardly be completed in time for the
December session of the Legislature,
and the completion of the eapitol will,
no doubt, be celebrated by a pageant of
such extent and magnificence that it
will not be attempted in less propri-
tious weather than that of spring.
On great occasions, the light stream
ing down through the great shafts will
brighten many a brilliant scene in the |
corridors, and the high rotunda’s vault
will echo many a merry laugh with dis
tant but musical mimiciy. “You never saw a Saturday in your

What can Vie done for these frightful
ly burdened Western farmers V Ono
thing only—their cost of living can and
must be reduced. It is impossible for
them to go on supporting a war tariff in
time of peace. The burden of debt
resting on them in such that they can
not continue marketing their produce
at low free rates, while paying high
bounty prices for everything they buy.
Congress must take notice that Western
farmers can no longer be bled at every
pore! They cannot meet tlieir appall
ing debts and save their farms, unless
the needless incubus of war tariff in
time of peace is taken off.—Chicago
Times.
The litraid calls attention to the
growth of New York city since 1865. It
certainly has been marvelous, and the
prospect is that its growth in the next
quarter of a century in wealth and pop
ulation will be greater than it has been
in the last. In 1865 the city had a pop
ulation of 725,000, the assessed value of
its real estate was §427,000,000, its in
coming and outgoing commerce reached
$400,000,000 a year and it occupied twen
ty square miles of territory. Now its
population is about 1,500,000, the asses
sed value of its real estate is over $1,-
300,000,000, its annual commerce amounts
to $800,000,000 and it occupies forty
square miles of territory.
