SIGM OP PROGRESS, j A Revolution In the General Departments of the Atlantic Coast Line The Hand . some Kew Annex and Its Octapants Ei- tanslre Improvements In the Main Build - lag Recent 'Promotions. , There is quite a revolutTon in the or der of things at the Atlantic Coast Line building on the southwest corner of Front and. Red . Cross streets. The large and Increasing business of the Coast Line made ft imperative for ad ditional rpom for the, general offices, and for this reason a five story annex was added to the building. It has Just been completed, and its commanding position gives it the appearance of a 8ky-acraper. It is a model of archi tecture and was designed In the road way department, presided over by that clever gentleman, Mr. E. B. Pleasants. In its entirety it is one of. the hand somest structures in our city. It is con structed o pressed brick, and is fin ished on the inside with North Caroli na pine with the natural color finished in oil. It contains eight rooms, the walls of which are finished in delicate green tints. Handsome antique oak mantelpieces, with tile background and hearths, with grates of. thelatest model, are in all the rooms, In one portion of the "basement of the. building there. is a room to be used as a storage, - and through the other runs an arch from Red Cross , street into the yard in rear of the building. The second floor con tains two connecting rooms, one occu pied by General Manager; Jno. R. Ken ly and the other hy his private secre tary, Mr. B. H. Marshall, .and assist ants. The third floor contains two con-, necting rooms and they are occupied by Traffic Manager T. M. Emerson and his private secretary, Mr. S. P. Collier, Jr. On the fourth 'floor are . two con necting rooms occupied bw Mr. H. Walters, president . of the Atlantic Coast Line Company, and his privaie secretary," Mr.. H. L. Borden. The fifth floor is one large room to be used for storage and other purposes. The annex, adjoins the main building which is three stories high, and on all three floors connections have, been cut through into the annex. Oh the third story a passage way has been con structed through a portion of the room formerly occupied by President Wal ter's private secretary.. The .officers mentioned above, have moved into their respective offices ' in rue annex, giving more room in the main building. This additional space has led to a remodeling of the offices and extensive improvements on the second and third floors of the main building.. On the second floor the room formerly occupied by Mr. E. Borden. superintendent of transportation, has been thrown into the department' occu pied by General Auditor W. A, Riach and his large force of assistants. Mr. Bor den has consequently moved into the office formerly occupied by General Manager Keniy. The offices of Secre tary and Treasurer James F. Post, Jr., and Paymaster A, B. Lynch, on the second floor, have also been remodeled and enlarged, the office of Paymaster lyncnvana his clever chief clerk. Mr. Cliff 'Cohen, having been moved one door to the north of the treasurer's of fice. On the third floor there has been quite a change. The old offices of Gen eral Manager T. M. Emerson and Gen eral Freight and Passenger Agent H. M. Emerson have 'been thrown into one and will be occupied by Mr. iW. G.IPul liam, freight claim agent; and his as sistants. Genera Freight and Passen ger Agent Hr Mr Efnerson has moved into tin office formerly; 1 occupied by President Walters. Mr. R. E. Smith, fuel agent, occupies the old office of Mr. PuUiam, A pof tion of the room, for merly oeupied by Mr. Walters' private secretary, remaining after the cutting of the passage through it, has been con verted into the traffic department, pre sided oved by Mr. Ernest Williams. chief clerk, giving him more room for his large force of assistants the two' other rooms of this department having also been converted into the one large room. All these changes makes a de cided new order of things. Among the recent promotions we no ticed a few days ago that Mr. w, c. Yarborough had been made cashier of the lines of which Mr. Post is; treas urer. Mr. Geo.: S, LeGrand has been promoted to ticket auditor in General Auditor Riach's department. Mr. Guy Card well has been promoted to chief clerk in the freight claim department. Among the new additions to the traf fic department is Mr. W. E. Shaw, who has been: made rate cjerk. j Dr. Shields, an eminent physician of Tennessee, says: "I regard Ayer's Sar- saparilla as the best blood-medicine on earth, and I know of many wonderful cures effected by its use."

Of course, about the smallest,' and apparently the most in significant, of them all is the comma, but its misuse is often the cause of verv : annovine mistakes, sta well as loss of money. It should be the aim of1 those now in school to learn thorough-' ly how to use I this -little mark, and nev er be guilty of making a mistake like the following, an account of whicli'we read nof long ago: ' . t' seems that some twenty years ago op 'o, ' 'whefi tne United States, by its eorigress, "was" making tariff hill, one of the sections enumerated what ar ticles should be admitted free of duty Among the many articles specified wer "all foreign fruit-plants," etc., mean' mg pianis lmponea lor transplanting, propagating, or experiment. The en grossing clerk, in copying the bill,, ac cidentally changed the ' hyphen in the compound word "fruit-plants" to a comma, making it read, ?'all foreign fruit, plants," etc.. As the result of this simple mistake, for a year or until congress, could reniedy the blunder, all the oranges, lemons,' bananas, grapes, and other fruits were admitted free of duty.. - - . .. . ; : ' A . ;Tbjs little mistake, which anyone woul4 be liable to make, yet which could yave been avoided by carefulness cost the governmentnot less than $2, 000,000.

She Aftks minister Taylor's Advice on Cu ban Keforms Mr. Taylor Pronounces thr Proposed IPlan Worthless -Spain a Sup pliant at Uncle Sam's Door. (The New York Journal.) Washington, January. 7. Secretary of State Olney has received a dispatch from the American minister, Hannis Taylor, in Madrid, announcing that the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, had formally invited him to give an opinion of the Porto Rico reforms as a practical measure of self-government for Cuba. Mr. Tay lor declared the scheme to be worthless. The Duke of Tetuan then asked Mr. Taylor his opinion of the greater re orms for Cuba promised in the pream ble to the declaration of Porto Rico re forms. The American minister re plied that the reforms were too vague to inspire any confidence in AmericaJ Mr. Taylor urged the Spanish govern-j nent to make a definitive declaration jf its purpose to grant full local self government to Cuba, "coupled 'ith iconomic reforms, as a basis for nego tiating peace. Secretary Olney was delighted at the news that Spain had at last officially recognized the consultative rights of '.he American government in the set ilement of the Cuban war. He at once . aid Minister Taylor's message before he president! After a conference with Mr. Cleveland, Secretary Olney cabled :o; Minister Taylor, saying: "Your ipinions emphatically endorsed," and :nstructing the minister to urge upon -.he' Spanish government the. necessity ?or prompt action. - " The importance of this news can hardly be exaggerated. It is the first step towards the acceptance of Ameri can mediation. , Madrid. January 7. The signs are that Spain is bowing .before a great 3olitical storm. Every effort to nego tiate a new war loan has failed. In months Spain will be utterly bank rupt., - rne three most important newspapers in Madrid have recalled their corre spondents from Cuba The reason these correspondents have been recalled is 'hat Weyler will not allow the story of his humbug military operations and the crimes of his officers to be known ir Spain. Canovas is like a rat in a trap. He has declared again .nd again that he will not allow American interfer ence, but I have the highest authority "or saying that he will presently be on his knees to Cleveland. , Grant Monnment Completed New York's Grant! monument in Riverside drive is now practically com pleted, a result upon which Ne - "Vnrk and the nation are to be congratulated. It is not easy to secure the means wherewith to erect a monument worthy the genius of a great man and honora ble alike to the nation, but this, by the hel" of the 80,000 contributors in New York and elsewhere to the Grant mon ument fund, the committee has at last done, and the $600,000 it has expended shows as a result a splendid memorial to commemorate the name and fame of America's great commander. -For several years it looked as if the. pro posed memorial would fall or linger along like the Washington monument in a half -completed state. B'-' just at this juncture General Horace Porter brought to the enterprise s president of the association a courage, resolution and contagious enthusiasm, and funds began once more to pour in and the work to go on.
