WASHIXGTOX, July 12. Ou by one,'
historic- old buildings in the national
capital are going down before the ir
resistible sweep of modernity. It is
lefctoni, though, that they pas out in
blocks of six, as was the case this week
when an old row of imposing dwel
lings, the houses of foreign diplomats
oro than half a century ago, was the
rohjeet of a transfer that will result in
their being remodeled and refurnished.
The walls that once resounded to the
dignified chatter of many tongues are
to be given over to the cau9e of higher
education, and vandal carpenters and ma
sons are already at work in brinj-ing
about a transformation.
Once the change is effected, the six
houses are to be utilized by the George
Washington University for some of its
iepartments that have outgrown the
present quarters. Two of the houses
will be occupied by the College of En
gineering; the Department of Education
and the Department ai Architecture will
occupy two more, while the Women's
College will take up the remainder. The
Duildings-are especially Well-adapted for
classrooms, for the ceilings are high
axd the windows generous.
But to return to the historical side
of the matter. The row, once the most
imposing block of houses in Washing
ton, was erected in the oCs by W. W.
Corcoran, who dedicated to the govern
ment the national gallery of art bear
ing his name. Mr. Corcoran discovered
that the representatives of foreign gov
ernments were unable to Bud suitable
living quarters in Washington, and with
characteristic patriotism h set about
remedying this fault, for he considered
it a blot on the good name of the Uni
ted States in gei.eml aud Washington
in particular that such a condition
should exist. The buildings, most ela
borate t'or that era, were the result.
One of th houses wa the scene of a
tragic occurrence some years before the
war. The Russion envoy, one of the
most brilliant of the diplomatic set jnd
his wife were the most lionized couple
in society. The envoy's wine cellar was
a poem in old and rare vintage, and
he had brought most of its stock from
his estate in the Czar's realm. With
him also came an old butler, a Russian
who had been for years in bis employ,
and a hundred-old bottles of claret that
was worth its weight in gold.
In the height of the social season, the
envoy found his wine disappearing. The
thief devoted his attention to the price
less claret, and about twice a week
empty bottles were found in the eob
webbed bin that 'contained them. The
butler kept close virgil, but to no avail.
The bottles continued to disappear.
Finally, in desperation, the envoy care
fully opened a bottle treated the con
tents with a powerful poison and re
placed it in the bin where the hand of
the thief would most naturally fall
upon it. The next morning he sought
his wine cellar. There he found, lying
"tark upon the floor, the hands clenched
and the dead eyes holding in their depths
a look of frozen horror, the body of his
old servitor, the butler. So far a the
records show, nothing ever was done in
the case. The United States could not
act, for in a diplomatic sense, the crime
was committed on Russian soil.
It is not unlikely that the hou-es ul
timately will be restored. Their oc
cupancy by the Oeorre Washington Uni
versity is only temporary, for the in
stitution is making ready to erect a
notable group of buildings of its own.
Its ambition to become the great Ameri
can University gives promise of fulfill
ment, and subscriptions to the endow
ment ifund continue to come in.

After the preliminary work of the

reading and discussion of a paper read
hv Dr. John Holt, Phil. II., of Astoria.
The subject, "Amoebio Dywntary

noon the reading of paper and discus
sion of ame was continued.
.Dr. William House of Portland, read
;i paper on "Stokes. Adams Disease (or
Heart Block") and the discussion was
opened by Pr. Caspar Shaiyle. Seattle
and Dr. V. D. McN'ary of Portland.
Tliw was Hollowed by an essay by
Dr. V. K. M. Kellogg, of Seattle. The
subject whs "The Opsonic Index in
Tulx'rrolosis." Pr. E. J. I-abbe and
Wiley Jones of Portland, opened the
discussion, pr. K. A. Pierce of Portland,
read "Sanatorium Treatment of Tuber-i-olosi

ing pnper on "The Ktfeet of Certain

Durins the discu-sion on the subject
of tubercolosis Dr. Fulton paid a very
liiith compliment to Ur. Aug. C. Kinney
of this city regarding his careful and
thorough work in the line of preven
tion and treatment oi tubercolosis. Dr.
Fulton said that Dr. Kinney had not
only aeouiied a national reputation or.
this subject but an enviable reputation
in Europe. Dr. Kinney, lie aid, was a
modest, retiring man and did not put
im-elf forward to gun the credit he
was really entitled to. However hit
well known ability, made without forc
in" recognition, a reputation on the
object, that should be the envy of the
best physicians in the hind. I he ad
dress was frequently interrupted by
iiinlail-e that was sincere. I he neat
part of the conipliineiit was that it was
delivcied in the absence of Dr. Kinney.

the. beach to which all were cordially
invited. A pleasant time was had.
