A Novel Idea. 



A novel attraction in the shape of a palace 

 of black diamonds is to be seen on the San- 

 gamon Fair association grounds at Spring- 

 field, Ills. The entire structure is in reality 

 a palace of coal, as it is built of rough blocks 

 of coal dug out of the Sangamon county 



THE COAL PALACE. 



Owing to the shortness of time at the dis- 

 posal of the operators who were putting up 

 the palace it is necessarily somewhat limited 

 in its diaiensioHS, but it is big enough to 

 make a very imposing appearance. Bullard 

 & Bullard are the architects of this building, 

 which is certainly a picturesque feature of 

 the Sangamon fail" and Springfield's exposi- 

 tion. The original idea was suggested by The 

 Illinois State Journal to Col. Charles F. Mills, 

 secretary of the association, and in two days 

 he had the coal operators of the city thor- 

 oughly alive with the novel Idea of drawing 

 attention to the coal of their county by erect- 

 ing a palace of coal on the fair ground. The 

 formal opening of the palace was attended 

 with much ceremony. Senator Shelby M. 

 CuUom delivered an address on "Coal in 

 Commerce" and Pat II. Donnelly, lato secre- 

 tary of the lUineis Miners' Protective asso- 

 eifltion, one on "Coal Miners," and there 

 were also several other addresses. 



Senior and Junior. 



The use of "Jr." is simply to denote the 

 younger of the same name. In the case of 

 uncles or grandfathers residing in the same 

 community it would be a convenience for all 

 concerned (where the name is the same) to 

 have the nephews or grandsous use "Jr.," 

 while the older persons used "Sr." for senior. 

 The significance of 1, 2 and 3 is simply to de- 

 note diiterent persons of the same name. In 

 congress, when two or more members of the 

 same name appear on the list, the name of 

 'he state each comes from is printed within 



treuthesies Where there are more than 



vo of the same name in a family 1, 2 and 3 



re sometimes used. 



Set and Sit. 



Discriminate between set and sit. To set 

 means to put, to place, to plant, to fix. To 

 sit means to rest on the haunches, to remain 

 in a state of repose, to perch as a bird, etc. 

 We set apart, set aside, set about and set 

 , down (some article), or (in writing). We sit 

 on a chair, on a horse. We sit up and sit 

 down. We set a hen, and a hen sits on eggs 

 We should say, therefore, "as cross as a sitting 

 (not setting) hen. "

Xiie !<■■!«}', BiizKin;; Bees, set to 



music on this page, is eminently fitted for 

 use at Conventions. The words are excel- 

 lent, and are just suited to the music. 

 Those who are intending to go to the Con- 

 ventions this fall will be delighted with this 

 song, and will, no douht, have the music as 

 well as the words thoroughly committed to 

 memory, so as to make "merry music" 

 wherever they may be.

 the latter comes out with many additional 

 pages. There is nnich room for improve- 

 ment in its typographical appearance, but 

 we hope that time and experience will ac- 

 complish that, and make it a credit to the 

 craft. We wish it success, and with that 

 will no doubt come the improvements.
