Then Sir Thomas .escorted by George Wilson, led the way from the recep tion room to the tables. At either of the hall was hung Sir Thomas' pri- emblem, the 8hamrock, on a field of yellow surrounded by a green der. while above the guests’ table • draped the flags of Great Britain and the United States. Bunches of red roses on each table and greens on the walls completed the decorations.

Pittsburg, q f .—The Post says: According to well matured plans, not only of the great railroad corporations of the country, but of the larger In vestors of capital in building opera tions, there Is likely to be a general cessation of building operations dur ing 1904 which will make that year memorablo to the trades Interested. The statement of one or (he largest contracting concerns n the country connected with railroad construct! w work Is the basis for the assertion that at least $180,000,000 worth of build ing operations proposed for 1904 been recalled from architects and It Is also stated by the same authority that so far as known there will be nothing In the shape of new work undertaken the comlpg year, and when the present contracts are com pleted a period of waiting will ensue. It ,,wUl be a waiting for the general labor situation to settle down and the end of factional wars and strikes that have almost destroyed1 confidence In building. GREAT NORTHERN IN B. C.
