the building and the police find the watchmen are trying to catch the culprit It will be remembered that not long ago a large pleoe was cut out of the oil painting of "Perry at Lake Erie" Since then a special watch has been kept to prevent repetition! of the vandalism False Alarm About Webster was much disturbed s Washington day or two ago when it heard that somebody with a chisel had chipped

cognizance which embraces the overlooking of improvements in public buildings The wish has been expressed that the commission might extend its espionage to for some of the private dwellings beautiful old places In Washington have been remodeled by their socially ambitious purchasers into mere reel dence monstrosities in many cases glaring and In most casea unbeautlful It la understood that Morton Intends to spend $60000 to Improve his Rhode Island avenue home Today It is beautiful as it is a warm red brick pleasing to look upon and suggestive In every way of comfort It is now said that it is

public memorials and it ought to be said also that projects more necessary to the public health than marble statues like for the children cannot playgrounds be thought of apparently because of lack of room For two years by means of private for example a little subscriptionsgrove at the corner of Fourteenth street and Columbia road has been used as a playground and fitted up for the children It was covered with oak trees of priceless value as far as their shade qualities are concerned and was one of the most picturesque spots in the city It is In the heart of a thickly settled district where it is a cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger to let them out on the streets Nevertheless congress which would spend $75000 for a Federal building in a town of 281 inhabitants to

In a giving mood toward the shades of the departed It Is a question where suitable sites for memorials could be obtained The demand for space is insistent and the senate committee on library has record of no less than eight requests while the house committee doubtless has as many more A bill appropriating $100000 for a statue of Alexander Hamilton already has passed the senate The sum of $50000 is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontaine Maury the American naval officer whose scientific work descriptive of the sea Is among the classics A memorial to the signers of the Declaration of

Mason for tatting Slidell commissionthe Confederate ers from the British mall steamer Trent in 1861 The United States did not back up Captain government Wllkea in his act of taking the Confederate commissioners off the British vessel In fact nearly all diplomats thought and think today that Wilkes acted without proper authority under international law and that the Confederate and the British governments had a perfect right to protest and that the United States authorities could do nothing else than to disavow the naval officer’s act Admirers of Major Andrew S Rowan U 8 A who la still living have put in a bill appropriating $5000 for some memorial of his famous exploit in 1898 when he was sent by President McKinley to Cuba to communicate with General Garcia the leader of the Cuban

in transit and now it Is proposed to extend the humane effort to chicken One congressman said that because chickens wore feathers it was supposed that they were not susceptible to cold He added however that feathers while warm did not provide food and drink The bill has gone to the proper committee and there is a fair chance of its passage House “Babies" Have Frolic resAt one of the
