A Magnificent School Building' on South
Jardln Street.
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.

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.

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.

Messrs. Harvey and Horr Review the
Financial Debate. ,
BOTH RETAIN THEIR OPINIONS !
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
