Hw Buildings Uttht Capitol Many Millions of Dollars "to be Spent in Erection of De partment Homes. : Washington, D. C.,Apnl 4, 1904. Trie arrival of April Fool's Dav flnda CongrepB not by uny menus on the way home but in the act of stooping to pick up an apparent packet-book, by tryiag to anquira the squares north cf the White House for public buildings. The pocket-book is nailed down to soma ex tent by the bad biys who have their himes on those squares, who pretend they do not want to sell ; besides it n an empty pocket-book. The Senate occupied almost all day yesterday in diecussing this question us to where to .bcate more public buildingi. . Mr. Fair banks wanted to erect a building for the departments of State 'and Justice on the side of Lafayette Square opposite the White House; Mr. Spooner and Mr. Gorman insisted that the needs of the Senate and Supreme Court should be first attended to by buildings on Capitol Hill; Mr. Foraker explained (he en largement of the Capitol which has been passed by the House at a cost of $2,500, 000; Mr. Teller wanted more buildings ,ou Capitol II ill but rather favored put ting some on the south side of Penn sylvania Avenue; Sir. Nelson vigorous ly opposed this last proposition on the ground that the location had been a swamp and was now overflowed in evary season of flood. The idea of put ting public buildings tliere, he said, was monstrous, and Mr. Foraker agreed that such a menace ought tD rule the loca tion out, The subject went over. The fact i1, confidentally, that the p'an to set public buildings south of Pennsylvania Avenna is simply a con spiracy on the part of the local news papeia and real estate owners. The papers are all located opposite this space and they all insist upon grand and sumptuous palaces being erected there ti enhance the value of their property by Riving it a magnificent environment, rtoeult: hardly a day passes that they do not return to the couibtt anew and any Congressman who publicly agrees wittrthem is pretty suie to receive much fulsome compliment.

It has been commended to me by people who have used it, as a remedy par ticularly effective In the cure of ca tarrh. For those who need a good catarrh medicine I know of nothing better." m s$jL 7th St low -boat from the foot of the Capitol steps up to Market Square (seven h'ooks) Bnd all the cellars were over fiiwed nearly to Fourteenth Street. The present Post-office Department building, recantly fidished, is opposite Iih Star office and water would have stood eight feet deep in it if it had been built at the time of the big flood. To put up such a building in such a place may do very well in Venice or Amster dam, where there is no alternative, but as Senator Nelson says, it is a monstrous perversion of public duty to erect one there when Capitol Hill, Judiciary Park and the south side of the Mall are all available. The ship-sabsidy people are now clamoring to be paid for having kept still so long. They urge the passage of two innocent-looking bills; one, giving to American vessels the transportation of all government supplies by sea, re gardless of cost; the other, giving to American ves:ela the exclusive rigtit to transport freight and passengers to and from the Philippine Islands afier July 1, 1905. Secretary Taft and all the in sular officials have declared that such a law, going into effect befoie July 1, 1909 would be ruinous to the Philippine trade and wonldresult in practically breakine up all commerce between us an j the Filipinos by tremendously increasing freight rates. In an interview which your correspondent had with Governor T-.ft recently, he denounced these bills as robbery of the Filipinos, but he has since had a conference with Senators Lodge, Hale, and Frye, inside represen tatives of the shipping interest, aad these astute gentlemen have bluffed or wheedled him into withdrawing hia ob jections by telling him that before next year the Philippine tariff will be re duced. The Governor is an Optimist j and easily Imposed upon, and he has ; fallen down before these high mucka j mucks Everybody except himself be I lieves that he has yielded his point and 7. E.

Mrs. Elmer Fleming . -' Treat Catarrh in Spring. The spring i3 the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Per una is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the f avorabl weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherover it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

The seceding directors granted Miss Barton another week-in which to make reply to the charges of mismanagement, whereupon her lawyer immediately made a peace proposition, offering Miss -Barton's resignation as president if they ' would withdraw the charges and discon tinue the investigation. Meantime, she gave an entertainment in Boston and collected money for the "Russo-Japanese War", when both Rufsia and Japan had declined to accept her offered ser vices. . Commissioner MacFarland, of the triumverate which governs the city of Washington, in advocating a compulsory education bill before Congress, vhile 5,000 children are running in our streets and alleys because there is not room for them in any schoolhouse. He not only wants to compel them to go to school when there is no shelter for them, but he provides that they shall not go before they are eight, and that if they are poor they shall be clothed from the public funds. It does not seem to occur to the Commissioners thai, this would pauper-uath-city. Our real -need is to have the wants of primary schools attended t-j tu-ot ami those of hign schools last. The opposite is now the case. The expen sive high schools are coddled and pam- k pered while children who need elemen tary training have not shelter to cover them.
