PLAN TO MAKC WASHINGTON THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY It la the Intention to make Wash 'ngton both the Paris and Berlin of America. Plans which have been considered by Congress for making .he nation’s capital grander, more Deautiful and more splendid in every respect, call for tho expenditure of millions upon millions. The first step in this long-looked for aggrandizement will be taken in iarnest when the work on the Union Railway station is under way. This sreat building alone will cost $20,000. )00. Several years will be occupied each home, accommodating all told 12,500 visitors at a time. In ten years it is believed that 12,500 at a time will demand the accommodation. Designs have already been sub mitted to Congress for a National Pa vilion, adjacent to the Homes of the States in National avenue, to contain open air and covered halls, restaur ants, apartments and a roof garden It is largely of glass, with casements to be closed for warmth in winter and open for pure air in summer through Venetian blinds. ♦ he Nava] Observatory and 100 acres of Potomac Park into a breathing spot, to be styled Istoria Park. The third is a new White Houss, or Executive Mansion. The designs are drawn by Paul J. Pelz, architect of the new Congress Library. The present White House is to be pre served as a relic of the day when it was of a size commensurate with a population of 5,000,000. We are to day 80,000,000.

The station will excel in size and magniflcence every thing of lt^dass in the world. No railway can be barred from its facili ties. The mileage represented will be about 41,000. In keeping with this colossal under taking will be the homes of the states on National avenue. This is a sug gestion by a person whose name and identity have been searched for in vain. The idea is for the United States to give a tract ot land 5,000 feet in length and 250 in breadth, the frontage to be allotted proportion ately to the population of the differ ■ ■ 1" .... The aggrandizements planned are seventeen in number. Louis Napoleon wiped out miles of solidly built blocks in the heart of Paris for the glory of France; what, it is asked, is to hold the United States back from razing the rookeries that besmirch Washington? The first aggrandizement is the im provement of Pennsylvania avenue. This broad, asphalted thoroughfare has a world wide reputation, being fully as well known as the Champs Elysee and Unter den Linden, yet it is the ugliest street on earth so far as its architecture is concerned. There dizement. The fifth is a Centennial avenue as a boulevard. The sixth is a series of ornamental porticos for shelter and a luxurious promenade. The seventh involves the clearance of Sixteenth street of rookeries and its embellishment as a bisecting boule vard to be called Executive avenue. The Park Istoria is the eighth ag grandizement. calling for the removal of museums and the construction ot a street of dwellings of mankind through the ages. The ninth is the National avenue, for Homes of States, referred to at the outset. The tenth aggrandizement is the "Proposed Mcmorial hall of prbsidents, an American walhalla. ent states, and In the order of their admission into the Union. The bestowal of this land by the government would be an exact divis ion of the people’s property among themselves, as Franklin Webster Smith points out. Speaker Reed thought the idea a fine one. Pres ently there will be fifty states in the Union. The fifty State Homes along National avenue will provide fifty reading rooms, fifty writing rooms, fifty sets of home newspapers, fifty bureaus of information, fifty halls o;' social converse, fifty places for busi ness appointments, fifty trysting places for sweethearts, fifty public comforts. There will be 260 seats in is but one respectable building be tween the Treasury and the Capitol. The rest would disgrace a third-class village. Most of the buildings are low, old, weatherbeaten and ram shackle. Pennsylvania avenue, from the President's house to the Capitol, ought to be the finest of all streets. It has a few trees; it should have many more. When “Boss” Shepherd spent $44,000,000 oil the outskirts of Washington he sadly neglected im portant thoroughfares near the heart of the city. These have been eyesores fdr generations. The second aggrandizement is the conversion of 220 acres adjacent to beautifying of tue banks of the Poto mac. There will be terrace garden# and broad boulevards. A National Hall of Fame is also planned. It will be in the colonnade of American Galleries on the Poto mac. Some of the designs that have been before Congress and met the approval of leading Senators and Representa tives are published herewith. Th® whole country Is waking up to the fact that residential Washington is superb, while municipal, or legisla tive, Washington is a shabby disgrace. All roads will lead to Washington. The city’s aggrandizement should bo a national hobby.—New York Times.

Diminutive Member of Canada Mount* ed Police Too Much for Old-Tir.ie “Terror"—The Power of Rigidly En* forced Law. Since Wyatt Earp, once famous as a ?un fighter in Arizona and California, arent up into the Klondike very little Aas been heard of him by the outside vorld. Earp was never a man who :ould easily be tamed, consequently a Story told of his suppression a few veeks ago by a diminutive cockney nember of the Canada mounted police will be interesting to some of his h lends here. "Earp drifted into Dawson several nontbs ago full of a determination to ?et action.” said a San Francisco man some of Earp’s .old Western friends Jhe other night. He discarded his store clothes, got himself a flannel ihirt, a pair of leather trousers and a sombrero, stuck a gun in his belt, loaded up on bad whisky and went around the saloons and faro banks Dailyragging everybody who would stand for his game, and taking a few shots at some men who resented it. “Well, the fact that Earp was hit ting it up got to the ears of a little five-foot cockney member of the Can ada mounted police, one of whose duties it was to see that Dawson be haved Itself. Now', Earp didn’t know much about the Canada mounted police and the manner of men who compose it. “Therefore when he was interrupted in the gentle amusement of cleaning out a faro bank in Dawson one night by this little chap coming up to him with a request that he give him his gun, he opened his mouth and his eyes very wide, swore a mighty round of oathB and asked the little fellow in riding boots and cap if he wanted to visit hades at once or wait a few hours. “Earp was somewhat surprised when the little fellow simply smiled politely and said: “ ‘You must give me the gun or Irtiry it, sir,’ and extended his hand for the weapon. “Earp swore some more, but not quite so eloquently, for all the while the little man was smiling; calmly in tis face. Finally, Earp, clean flustered by the situation pulled his gun from his belt and fired it three times into the ceiling, whereupon the little man, still smiling said: “ Now. you'll have to bury it or I’ll have to take it away from you, sir.’ “ ‘Take my gun away from me!’ roared Earp. “ ‘Exactly,’ said the little man. ‘May be you doubt I’ll do it, sir?’ "The witnesses of this colloquy did not know what to expect from Earp, but they knew what would happen pretty soon if Earp became defiant, because in Dawson people know what to expect from the Canadian mounted police. They knew, too, that this lit tle cockney had squelched every bad man who had ever come Into Dawson, and they didn’t doubt that he would attend to Earp. “However, a crisis was averted by JCarp's putting his gun back into his ■belt and starting to leave the place. Just as he got to the door the police man walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. “ ‘I beg your pardon, sir,’ he said, ‘but if you come out with a gun in sight to-morrow, I shall have to take it away from you.’ "Earp turned purple with rage, but he had no nerve left when he con fronted that politely smiling face. He roared a few oaths back at the amused crowd in the gambling house, and then went to the Goldea Lion saloon, where hs took a few drinks and proceeded to tell what he would do the next day when the cockney tried to take his gun. “ ‘Why, I’ll blow him full of holes,’ he said. " ‘Yes.’ said a listener, ‘but when you put a hole in him you put a hole m the British empire, which It will fill with two men. If you kill them, fgur will take their places. In the end, Earp, you will have the whole British army here if necessary just to put you out. Better let him alone.’ “The next day. Earp. very sober and very thoughtful, appeared on the streets of Dawson in the store clothes he came to town with. Almost the first person he struck was the cock ney, who had evidently been waiting for him, prepared to take his gun away if he showed it. As soon as he saw Earp he stepped up very politely and said: “ ‘Thank you, sir,’ and then turned on his heel. “Earp hasn't been deuce high as a bad man in Dawson since that inci dent. Incidentally, I might say. if he had elected to mix it up with the cockney he’d be sleeping under an epitaph to-night: for of all the real tough men I ever saw, either for or egainst law and order, those Can ada mounted police are the limit.”— New York Sun. A Leprosy Patrol. The Hawaiian government employs agents who travel all over the is lands looking for indications of lep rosy in remote places. Banishment is so dreadful that frequently the family o.' a leper will keep him secreted for a year or two before discovery is made. A person who is supposed to have the disease is sent to the receiving station in Honolulu, where he is examined by five medical (xperts. If “a leper” be the verdict money, position, influence, race or color cannot change the decree which sends the patient to Molokai. BUFFERED fcr fifteen years, Completely Restored to Health. . Mrs. P. Brunzel, wife of Brunzel, •too* dealer, residence 311i Grand Av%., Everett, Wash., says: “For flf teen years I suffered with terrible pain in my back. I experi mented with doc tors and medicines but got little if any relief. I actually be lieve the aching In in my back and through the groin became worse. I did not know what it was to enjoy a night’s rest and arose in the morn ing leeling tired and un re freshed. My Buffering sometimes was simply indes cribable. Finally, I saw Doan's Kid ney Pills advertised and got a box. After a few doses I told my husband that I was feeling much better and that the pills were doing me good. When I finished that box I felt like a different woman. 1 didn’t stop at that, though. I continued the treatment until I had taken five boxes. There was no recurrence until a week ago, when I began to feel miserable again. I bought another box and three days’ treatment restored me to health. Doan’s Kidney Pills act very effective ly, very promptly, relieve the aching pains and all other annoying difficul ties. I have recommended them to many people and will do so when op portunities present themselves. A FREE TRIAL of this great kid ney medicine, which cured Mrs. Brun zel, will be mailed to any part of the United States on application. Address, Foeter-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

The general belief that the piano was not only an instrument of per cussion but of torture finds confirma tion In the researches made recently by a Berlin nerve specialist. He as serts that out of 1,000 girls who be gan to play the piano before they were 14 no less than 600 were affected by some kind of nervous disease, while out of 1,000 girls who had not been put at playing scales only 100 were so affected. His recommenda tion is that girls should not begin to work on the piano until they are 16. Waldon Fawcett describes fn thd fceptember St. Nicnolas the success of a savings bank experiment tried by a Washington, D. C., public school, a success which is likely to set other schools experimenting along the same lines. This school savings bank is conducted in every way just like a real bank. The principal makes him seif responsible for the safe keeping of the funds, and at the close of each day's business deposits the daily re ceipts in one of the city’s ordinary commercial banking institutions. Pu pils are tellers and bookkeepers, do ing all the work involved; and the children's pennies foot up already to the respectable fund of two hundred dollars. Belonged to Electoral Commission. It has been noted that only three of the fifteen members of the famous electoral commission of 1877 survive —ex-Ssenator Edmunds, Senator Hoar and General Eppa Hunton of Virginia —the two last having been chosen on the part of the bouse of representa tives. rtll of the five Justices of the supreme court who sat on the com mission long since passed away.
