The interior partitions are all movable, ul though being sustained by columns, thus allowing the removal or rearrangement of any of the interior partitions if the de mands be different in the future. In his description of the several buildings presented by the plans submitted Mr. Cobb, the architect, says: "In order to produce the required amount of interior space for the stipulated cost of the entire group of buildings contemplated, there can be no waste in ex terior ornamentation, and the most effective result can be obtained by concentrating all available expense for exterior ornamentation upon one prominent feature, like a dome, that is of sufficient importance to allow the simplest treatment of tho other buildings forming the group.

The commission appointed to erect a new state capitol at Harrisburg to replace the building burned down last winter has adopted the plan submitted by Henry Ives Cobb, the well known architect of Chicago, and work will probably begin by the middle of December. The commission hopes to have the legislative halls in readiness for the accommodation of the legislature when It meets on the first Tuesday in January, 1899. The plans adopted contemplate the erection of three buildings running from east to west and connecting them by wings running north and south, so as to give, when all are completed and connected, practically the effect of a single structure.

The central building now to bo erected is for the use of the general assembly, and it is the desire of the commissioners, if pos hand named Joseph Yankowski, escaped seven years of awe, of medium stat ire and erly Secretary to E.

"So when this was done others also which had diseases in the island came and were healed." Thus the power of Christ was made widely known, and we cannot think of Paul obeying part of our Lord's command without obeying the other.

If he healed the sick in the name of Christ, he would certainly preach the gospel of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, to which he had been especially called and separated (Horn, 1, 3). Thus not only were bodies healed, but many souls must have been saved also. 10. "Who also honored us with ninny honors, nnd when wo departed they hided us with such things as were necessary."
