Show A GREAT ARCHITECT. THE LATE CHARLES B. ATWOOD HAD NO RIVALS. The Principal Buildings at the World Fair Designed by the Famous Draughtsman ills Talents Seen to Best Advantage In the Peristyle. j) HE late Charles B. Atwood was 1 n born Charlestown, Mass., May 18, 1849. At the age of 17 he became a pupil of Ware Van Brunt, architects of Bos ton, and after two years under their instruction entered & the scientific school After this Harvard University. course he returned ito the office of Ware & Van Brunt, remaining with them until 1872, when he (established himself in Pemberton Square, Boston. In that year he built the jHerchants Fire Insurance Building ;4t Worcester, Mass. ' and the Five Cenif Savings Bank, at j Lowell. He was invited to enter into competition for several importanta structures at this time and received prize for the city hall at San Francisco, two prizes for the state capitol at Hartford, Conn.; a prize for the design of the court house in Springfield, Mass., and the first prize and commission to buHd the city hall atHolyoke, Mass. In 187J Mr. Atwood went to New York to "become the architect for the firm of Herter Brothers, and during the net six years designed the residences of David Dows, William H. Vanderbilt, Elliott F. Shepard and W. D. Sloan, all in New York, besides the interior decorations of many of the great houses in all parts qf the country, notably that of Mrs. Mark Hopkins at San FranI j ' cisco. Mr. Atwood established himself inde- pendently jin New York in 1884, and received from Mr. Vanderbilt the commission to design two residences for H. McK. Twombly and his Me also entered InSeward Webb. Dr. to competition for the Boston public library and gained the first prize of $4,0C0 against 125 contestants. In 1886 he was appointed py, Mrs. Mark Hopkins to complete her magnificent new residence at Great Barrington, Mass., where he remained continuously for two years jand finished all the designs for its grand interior decorations. He then enterjed the competition for the new city hall in New York. He gained the first prize of $5,000, and his design was recommended by the' board of ts as the only one suitable to be accepted by the city authorities. Since that time nothing has been done toward the erection of this building except to change several times the state laws goverhing its erection. In the summer of 1890 Mr. Atwood located in Chicago at the invitation of sons-in-la- w, ex-per- CHARLES B. ATWOOD. D. H. Burnham, of the Worlds Fair. Later he was made designer-in-chifor the exposition, eand abundant labors were then heaped on his shoulders. He designed the Art Palace, the Peristyle and the Terminal Station. No work at the exposition will remain longer In the memory of the beholders than these three widely variant masterpieces of architecture. The Art Palace alone remains, a delight to the eyes of thousands each day, and an ornament to Jackson Park as the home of the Columbian Museum.' The Art Palace was the purest exemplification of the beautiful old Greek architecture among all the structures at the fair. It is of the Ionic style. main portion of the building is 500 by 320 feet, jit is intersected east and west, north and south, by a great nave and transept, 100 feet wide and 70 feet high. At their Intersection rises the flattened dome so characteristic of the buildings of the Greeks. The dome is 60 feet in diamaeter. It Is surrounded by a type of a famous figure of winged victory. In the great interior are galleries 24 feet above the floor and 40 feet wide, forming a promenade around the entire building. At either end of the main building are wings, partakipg of the general style of architecture and surmounted by smaller domes. The main' building is entered by four portals, adorned with sculpture and approached by broad flights of steps. Great Corinthian columns beautify Colonades extend these entrances. add to the classiand side either along of the exterior frieze cal beauty. The walls and the pediments of the entrances were ornamented with sculptures of the masters of ancient art. The color of the building gave the impression of white marble. The main walls were of brick, unlike those of other buildings at the faiik They were covered with white staff. The building is lighted through skylights. Mr. Atwoods ideas in designing the Art Palace were carried out happily by its location, which is fronting on the lagoon, where broad sweeps of lead down to the waters edge, ftp3terraces and balustrades beautify rad the tarreundings.

Luke, ii, He said, among other things; Why do ministers who mistake weakness for piety, say that war can never be justifiable among civilized nations? To say that a Christian should never engage In warfare, except that moral warfare which is waged In his own bosom, is to say that a man whom God has equipped with muscle, brain, skill and a prophetic vision of consequences should rest in supine quiescence and allow wrong to trample upon right; atheism and paganism to supplant Christianity. It is the most pusillanimous twaddle, and is unworthy the utterance of an intelligent man.

No male Armenian claims to have had a part in this work, nor does he dream of looking down upon Tyoman as an inferior being. There is not a single proverb in all the dialects of the country that ridicule woman, though there are Innumerable ones in her praise.
