THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE Four Large School Rooms With Plenty Light and Ventilation and All Modern Improvements German Lutheran Church Alterations. With the exception of tbo placing of a few blackboards and a few finishing touches re quired hero und tbcro from tho brushes of tbo painters, tbo now school building at the northwest corner of Jardln mid Cherry streets is ready to bo turned over to tbo School Hoard. It can bo said without fear of con tradiction that the structure is ono of the prettiest and best arranged and constructed school buildings in the county. It is n model of modern improvement and adds very materially to tho good appearance of that part of the town. To stand immediately in front of the building ono does not get tho full benefit of tbo imposing effect, but a view from tbo opposite sido of tho street excites exclamations of admiration. Tbo building is two stories high and lias entrances on both Cherry and Jnrdin streets. Tbo former is intended for uso only by pupils of the class rooms on tho second story and the latter entrance is for tho class rooms on the first lloor, although tbeso class rooms aro also connected with tho Cherry street en trance. Tho architecture of this entrance is plain, wliilo that on Jardln street consists of very nttractivo ornamental work. In front of tbo entrance is a wide porch, to which steps run on each side from the space of ground between the building and pavement. Among the ornamentations of tbo entrance are two columns, ono on each side of tho doorway. Just insido thodoors is a vestibule. above which is a portico that is reached from tho second story windows. This portico will afford n splendid place from which the School Directors may address assemblages on special occasions. To the right and left of the vestibule aro tbo entrances to tho two first iloor class rooms. Each of tbeso apartments aro 25x33 feet in sizo and has aniplo arrange ments for ventilation, independent of tbo Smcad system. Tbo arrangements for a liberal supply of daylight aro also ample. Each room is supplied with eight windows of liberal dimensions with trimming of colored glass at tho top. Tho two rooms on tbo second floor aro duplicates of those just referred to in general arrangement. From the hallway inside the Cherry street entrance on tho first iloor there aro two stairways leading to tho basement, one for the boys nnd tbo other for tbo girls. Tho stairways aro apart from each other, the doors being on opposite sides of tho hallway, the same distinction having been made in tbo arrangement of tho basement with respect tq tho privato apartments arranged for the two sexes. Tho staircase leading to tbo second Iloor is wide and has an easy elevation. Tlicro is ono platform between tho top and bottom.' To tbo left, as the second story hallway is reached, is tho entrance to the classroom which is located at tbo northwest corner of tho building. Next to this entrance is that leading to tbo room that fronts on Jardiu and Cherry streets. At tho Cherry street end of tho hallway, or southwest corner of tho building, is a small room fitted with closets and shelves that will bo used as a place of storage for books and mechanical apparatus used in the schools. All tho rooms aro dressed in yellow pino witli hard oil finish und tho stairways aro constructed with white ash. Tho doors of the closets have heavy plato glass in the upper half and all the class rooms aro pro vided with patent chalk troughs. A feature of tho finishings is tho hardware used on the doors, The locks aro of tho very latest im proved make. The locks on the main doors can ho so arranged by means of a spring that anyono can entor by merely turning tbo knob, while no exit can bo made without tbo uso of a key. Those locks aro especially adapted for uso in school buildings. Teachers may prevent pupils from leaving the build ing without their knuwlcdgo, and yet not in terfere with tho entrance of others. Tho basement of tho building is a modol of convenience and sanitary regulation. It has a cement lloor and nicely whitewashed walls that give tho place a neat, clean and whole somo appearance Tho basement is efl'ec tlvely divided into two parts so that tho parts reserved for tho uso of tho boys and girls aro entirely distinct from each other. In tho southeast corner of tho basement Is a sewerage connection that drains tho entiro building. Janitor John lieyrand will have chargo of this building and was engaged in whitewashing tho outer walls of the struc ture when a reporter was escorted about tho building by Mr. Emil Itatzberg, the con tractor's foreman. Tho contract price of this magnificent structure was 7,837, but as it now stands, with the heating and ventilating system, &c, tho cost has been, in round figures, $10,000, and ovory citizen who may inspect tho cdiflco will agree that it is worth every cent of that amount. Injustice to tho contractor, Hon. M. P. Fowler, It should ho stated that there lias never been a moro complete and honest ful fillment of a contract in which the School Hoard of this borough has been interested, Tho many peoplo who have inspected tho building agree that tho construction is com plete in every detail nnd several School Directors have openly stated that it not only comoM up to their expectations, but in many instances their admiration has been excited by the fidelity to proper construction shown by the contractor to some parts iu which tho specifications were to some extent ambiguous, The pride the School Hoard takes in the now building is undisguised and many of tbo Directors are so elated over it they have suggested that a day be fixed for an inspec tion of it by tbo public. This is a good idea, as tbo people should bo afforded every opportunity In mph matters to sco what they are getting for their money, and tho Hoard need not hesitate to have a public inspection from fear that a careful and conservative examination will result in n disappointment. do to Haley's for silvor belts, ladles buckles, 10 North Main street. tf GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH. Tho I'dlflcc In IU HiimlH r Workmen for Kvtcnslre Improvement. People passing along West Cherry street cannot fail to observe tbo small army of car penters, pointers and other workmen engaged in making improvements at the German Lutheran church, which will be so much altered in nppcaranco when they get through that its former identity will bo destroyed, with the exception of general outline. Tbo old spiral stairways in the front of the church which have been so annoying on funeral occasionRiro being torn out and will bo replaced with straight stairways with a platform half w'iiy in each. Tho two sido entrances from tho upper vestibulo to tbo in terior of tho church aro also to bo abolished and a larger center double entrance will be substituted. Tho two sido aisles will also bo closed and theirplaccs will bo taken by a wido aislo running down the center of tho church from tho entrance to the chancel rail. There will bo a narrow passage way at the rear and sides of tho pews. The arrangement of tbo altar will also he different to what it has been in tbo past. Instead of the chancel rail being of semi-circle shape it will be more semi-oval. In tbo center and against tho rear wall the altar will be placed and to tho left and slightly to tho front of the chancel rail the pulpit and a reading desk will bo located. Tho baptismal basin will be given a place on tho right hand sido of the rail. The old pews have been re moved and they will bo replaced by seats of moro modern style of architecture. Tho walls and ceilings of the church will bo re papered and in fact everything iu the interior witli the exception of the gallery will bo altered in appearance. The exterior of the church will also bo repainted. The papering and painting is being done by Messrs. Kichard Weidormoycr and It. D. Hagenbuch. Tbo method of heating the church is also to be changed. Tho old hot air furnaces are to be removed and a steam heating system will bo substituted. The cost of tho alterations will run to about $1,500 anil Iiov. John Gruhler, the pastor, thinks about two months will elapse before tho edifice will be ready for services again. Habies mado happy with Luks' Syrup. Change, of Color and Ximio. Those who tako an interest iu tho appear ance of tho borough will bo delighted to learn that Mr. P. J. Ferguson intends to follow up the improvements be is now mak ing at his hotel building, at tho corner of Main and Centra streets, by having the exterior of the structure painted. It is said the color is to bo white and that after tho work is done tho hotel will bo re-christened "Tho White House." Tbo building will tako to paint as a duck takes to water, and tho people will rejoice to see the old disfigured clothing house sign on tho Centre street side go beneath a surface of respectability.

Though Holding Opposing Views, Each Contestant Has Proved to His Own Satis faction That the SystemHe Advocates Is the True Solution. Chioaoo, Aug. 7. Following is a syn opsis of tho summing up of tho Horr Harvey debate by Hoswoll G. Horr: The object of this debate was to deter mine If It would ho wlso for our nation to throw open its mints to the free colnnao of silver nt tho ratio of 10 to 1 when tho civilized nations of tho world rofuso to join In suoh notion. My opponent pro posod to provo that such a course Is ad visable. I donlod tho advlsnbility of such action. . His statement that tho prlmnry money only Is tho moasuro of vnluo ho has not even attemptod to sustain. Ho basod his whole argument on tho proposition that the silvor dollar was in 1702 madothoonly unit or measure of vnluo. I have shown conclusively that our forefathers at temptod to establish bimetallism and pro vided for two units of valuo, ouo of gold and ono of silvor, always naming gold first, and that up to 18:! 1 tho silver stand ard alone was used. That nftor tho gold standard eamo into uso the sliver dollar hns novor boon used as the measure of value in the Unltod States. Mr. Harvey next basod his case upon the assumption that tho law of 1873 was a crlmo, and stated that It had its origin In fraud and its birth through bribery and corruption. He Introduced no evidence in support of any ono of tbeso positions. Thus he stands convlctod by his own statements of an elTort to docelvo tbo people. His assertion that option of the debtor to pay in other metal causes the cheaper metal to be used is truo, but such option does not rastoro Its relatlvo commercial Value. On the contrary. It drives tho dearer metal out of use. History proves that tho uso of a single standard Is the only means by which both metals can bo kept in oiroulation. The gold unit Is not responsible for tho fall In prloss, Mr. Harvoy uttorly failed to show a fall In tho price of u single article whloh Is not fully accounted for by the choapor cost of production, Improved transportation or Increased supply. During tho discussion Mr. Harvey cites Roman history, with Its many ovlls. Hut ho inadvertently makes un admission as to the great valuo of banking facilities, which refutes all his other assertions against such systems. Ho says: "It is a significant coincidence that tho first glim mer of light only camo with tho lnveution of bills of exchange and paper substitutes, through whioh tho scanty stock of tho prec ious metals wero Increased iu oJllcleucy." Strange that It did not occur to him that this is "an entiro give away" of his wholo rant and fustlnn against banks. The condition of the mass of the people of the. United States has improved moro rapidly since 1873 than during a similar number of years since tho nation was born. Mr. Harvey endeavors to provo de creasing wages in tho Unitod States slnco 1878. Ho introduces only on statement in support of his position; that was tho evidence of u single mun for ono trade in the city of Omaha. On tho other hand to prove that thoy are advancing I introduced the Investigation of Unitod States Com missioner of Labor Mulhall, who showed that tho average annual wagos In manu facturing industries have risen from fS-'SS in 1870 to 1509 for each person in 181)0. Mr. Harvoy virtually admits that the action which he proposes will put this na tion on a silvor basis and drlvo gold out of this country. I showed conclusively that this would work Injury to seventeen million peoplo who work for wages. Mr. Harvey has shown that boneflts will conio to no person oxcept silver mine owners and Insolvent debtors. Following Is a synopsis of W. II. Har vey's summary: Tho dobate settles in my judgment tho following propositions: That rold and silver is tho money of tho constitution. That tho silvor dollar was tho unit of value in our coinage systom fixed by tho aot of 1793. Mr. Horr admits this. That both sliver and gold wore the measures of valuo of all other property until 1873, nnd the dobtor' has a right to pay in either metal. That tho aot of 1873 was surrepti tiously passed. That for all time of which we havo a knowledge, gold and silvor woro troatod equally as money, and until 1873 tho commercial value of the two metals was substantially at a parity with the le gal ratio. That prlocs of all property aro substantially at the present tlmo one-half of what thoy would be under the blmo talllo system. That all tho silvor coined slnco Feb. 13, 1872, has boon tokon money. I bollove thoso who read and oarefully digest the dobate will conclude that I have made good all tho propositions set forth in my opening statoment. Mr. Horr said that when gold or sliver was the unit the quantity in a dollar could not bo worth either moro or less than itself. I rofer him to recont market quotations In New York, whon gold bull Ion was selling at a small premium, which was accounted for at the time as purchases made by a gold syndicate to provont gold from soeklng tho mints, It was once supposed that labor saving improvements und inventions would lessen the neoossary toll of man, and there was a promise of a day to come whou with lit tle labor all would be provldod for, and humanity as a wholo would bs benefited. Has it had that result? All will answer that It has not. And yot if thore wero no defoct in our olvilUatlon inventions would have the effect first Intended for them. We are sufficiently advanced In this rospeot now to provide all tho peoplo of tho world with tho oomforts of llfo by one hour's work each day by each individual, while the remaining hours not devoted to sloop i wouia oe useu in tuo promotion of human . happiness and the advancement of the 1 human raoe.
