The improvements that are being made in both old and new parts of the residence of C. O. Stevens are surely worth praiseworthy mention. The annex, which has been in the process of construction for some time, is nearing completion as rapidly as possible. Among the finished parts is a large combination china closet, slide, small closets, sets of drawers, etc., opening into both dining room and the immense new kitchen, and which does great credit to the work of Mr. Stevens, even the carving of the woodwork being his own accomplishment. The slide is so large that it will contain dishes enough for a meal at one time, thereby saving many unnecessary steps. The most prominent of all is the china closet, the door of which are filled in with small square panes of glass that nicely display the fine ware therein. All the doors of this and the various small closets on stop buttons. The pantry is entirely new and an immense affair, with its shelves and tables arranged in every convenient way. Beyond it is a small room in which ice, entered by window on the outside, is to be kept in a box arranged solely for that purpose. The laundry has a complete outfit of set tubs with hot and cold water running into each one. Two furnaces heat the house and an electric motor supplies power for bringing water into all of the apartments. The new part of the building was wired for lighting on Tuesday, the remainder of the house having been wired some time ago, and under an improved system light can be produced in a distant part of the house and piazza by the pressures of an electric button. In one of the sleeping apartments, a tiny bulb lights the face of a clock, by the simple pressure of a pneumatic bulb just as the bedside.
