THE NEW STATE HOUSE, OR THE STATE HOUSE EXTENSION.
This project was begun in 1888, May 17, by an Act taking land north of the old structure and furthered by an Act, May 25, 1888, empowering the Governor and Council to report to the next Legislature a plan for the better accommodation of the State Government in the city of Boston. In 1889, an appropriation of $2,500, - 000 was made, and Messrs. John D. Long, Wm. Endicott, Jr., and Benj. D. Whit- comb were appointed Commissioners. Messrs. Brigham & Spofford of Boston were appointed architects. Since 1892, Mr. Charles Brigham has been sole arch- itect. The builders have been the Norcross Brothers of Worcester. The corner stone was laid December 21, 1889. The first permanent occupants were the de- partment officers of the Grand Army of the Republic, who entered Feb. 3d. 1894.
The original plan contemplated an edifice extending from Derne street on the North to the old Bulfinch structure, completed in 1798. To join this an arch has been thrown over Mt. Vernon street. Hancock street is on the West and Temple on the East, though all the buildings between that and Bowdoin street have been removed, thus providing for a State House Park. The edifice is built in Colonial style, of yellow brick with white marble trimmings, having a granite foundation. Of floors, there are the sub-basement, basement, 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th. The extreme length of the structure from Derne street to the old Capital is 397 feet, width 212 feet. The cost of land was $1,243,225.66; Jan. 1st, 1895, the building had cost $2,173,480.66.
In the sub-basement are found the rooms of Major Rufus R. Wade and his State Detective Force, etc. On reaching the first floor that fact is indicated in numbering the rooms, all of which are variations of 100. On the second they pass to 200, etc .; the third to 300, and the fourth to 400, etc.

SOLDIERS' HOME.
Massachusetts cares well for her indigent and disabled veterans. The home for such is located in Chelsea, and was opened July 25, 1882. Up to June 30, 1894, there had been admitted to the home 2053 veterans. Since the opening 302 have died. The oldest inmate June 30, 1894, was 87 years old, the youngest 46 years. Total number of inmates June 30, 1894, was 239. Deaths during the year 43. The state makes an annual appropriation of $30,000 for maintenance; the remaining cost is covered by the kindness of individuals. The largest donation was that of Capt. Jos. B. Thomas of Charlestown in 1881, who gave $10,000. The president of the Board of Trustees is Capt. J. G. B. Adams of Lynn. The superintendent is Capt. Geo. W. Creasy of Salem, the matron, Mrs. Geo. W. Creasy.

CITY REGISTER.
EXPLANATIONS .- The population figures given are based on the eensus of 1890.
The design has been to give the polities of all city officers clected by direct vote of the people, and where none is given it is because party lines are not observed in municipal elections, as is the ease in several cities.
The number of voters is of those actually registered at the last election.
Under Hotels, the rates are per day for transient guests.
The (*) indicates both Justice of the Peaec and Notary Publie; N. P. means Notary Publie only.
