Thus, assuming the directory and government canvassers to have correct in 1890, there must have an increase of over 100,000 in the population since that time. There is every indication that thia is correct, as an immense number of buildings have been erected during the last two or three years, in spite of which the renting agencies experience great difficulty in eatisfyiiig the demands of newcomers for homes. St. Louis is acknowledged to have some of the best paved streets in the country, but it does not propose to be content with euccesa already attained in thia direction, A schedule haa just been prepared by the Street Commissioner including ao large a number of improvements aa to embrace 200 miles.

Bepresentatlves from all parts of the State will be invited and special interest will center in tho proceedings from the fact that Missouri granite and stone have been used exclusively in the construction. Visitors to this year's fall festivities will aee the building about completed, and it will probably be occupied from the sixth story to the basement during the coming winter. A meeting of representative cttixens waa held in the Mayor's office on Tuesday when tit waa resolved to take mesa urea to endeavor to secure the naming of one of the new ships in course of construction by the American navigation Company, "St Louis." The two popular vessels of this line are now known aa the Paris and New York, and it is understood that the two easels now in course of construction will have the names of two important cities. Owing to the large amount of traffle, both of business men and tourists en route for St, Louis, it is believed that the company will accede to the request and name one of the flrst American Greyhounds constructed in an American dock yard after fit.
