COMMANDER RoBLEY D. EVANS.
Is He Being Persecuted by the Sec
Rotary of the Navy?
The Baltimore san to-day says;

The Baltimore Sun to-day says:
"Commander Robley ID. Evans, United States
Navy, who was recently relieved from light
house duty in the Fifth District, with head
quarters at Baltimore, reached this city yes
terday and left IN the evening foy Pittsburgh
MIR. Evans on Saturday last received the order
OF Secretary Chandler revoking his leave OF
absence for one year, with permission to go
beyond the sea. This places him on waiting
orders. He said he was not prepared to dis.
cuss or critlcse the action OF the Secretary OF
tho Navy, and holds himself In readiness for
duty, whether he be ordered TO the South Pole
or the North Pole. Commander Evans reti-
cence In declining 10 mako illusions to his
own case Is not shared by others, who are
taking an Interest in the matter and are
closely watching 1t.
"They say thar Secretary Chambers action
toward Commander Evans is in the nature OF
u persecution, and is a continuation OF the old
grudge growing out OF the removal OF Ma.
hone worker by Evans when he was at the
head OF the Fifth Lighthouse District. Friends
or Commander EvaDB say he did not Intend to
go abroad during his leave OF absence, al
though permitted TO do so. He Is an active
man and year OF idleness would be irksome
70 him. He, therefore, had accepted service In
the Baltimore Ohio for the year, but the re.
yoking OF his leave OF absence cuts him or
from that engagement. He is now on waiting
orders with reduction OF III 900 TO $1,000 in
his pay, practically reducing him 10 half pay,
and II IL probable that he may be Kept In that
position for some time. His friends have no
1ntimation that Secretary Chandler has Sc
lected sea duty for him."

A NEW WRINKLE IN BUILDINGS.

"Do you know what tho latest wrinkle

" Red mortar"
RED mortar - calculated the reporter n
surprise. Why, what's that for? Isn't
the good old white mortar good enough ~
at may be strong enough, and all that"
returned the other rather disdainfully;
but II isn't artistic, and artistic ideas
you know, are becoming more prevalent all
the time in connection with building.
You've doubtless noticed in all the recent
buildings that many little devices have
been used to give them an artistic effect.
You. have seen, no boubt, those strips of
different colored bricks extending around
the buildings at various heights. OF course
they are to break up
The MOnOt0By OF n Vast Unbroken
ENpanse OF Brick wall.
"They relieve tho eye. Then, too, va
iious sorts Of shaped bricks are used. In
some instances they have taken the place
of the colored bricks, as the latter were
thought too gaudy. They are cast in diff
ferent shapes and generally break up the
surface in pleasing manner. There are
many other devices for rendering the dull
exterior Of building attractive. As / was
saying, red mortar Is, perhaps, the latest.
Two noticed Its use on number of new
buildings. For instance, the new block
corner of Ninth street and the Avenue.
You will see it employed there. An at
tractive block Is being erected on Thir-
teenth street, near l., next to the Univer-
salist Church. Red tiles, diamond-shaped,
are being put on the roof, and
Red Mortar IL Being Used Between
the Bricks"
But why2" interrupted the reporter

into countless little rectangles, which are q

1t certainly gives house holder and

Brfc-a-

A peculiar fact is told in connection
with the recent sale of the Fountaine
collection of bric.a a brac in London, the
sale of which realized a total of $780,
555. 1t seems that in 1908, when it
was proposed to place a memorial of
Addison in Westminster Abbey there
was difficulty in finding a trustworthy
ortraitf for the guidance of the sculptor.
At length it was determined to use a
head-size picture of the great ~essayist
which had been IN Holland House for
many generations, and was always sup
posed to be a portrait of Addison. The
statue in the Abbey was accordingly
copied from this work; but some time
afterwards it was discovered that the
picture in Holland House was in reality
a portrait of Sir Andrew Fountaine.
The statue placed in Poets Corner in
honor of Addison, Is, therefore, in fact
a portrait of his friend, the founder of
the Norford collection. The story is
told in detail in a pamphlet, 1.-THE
Romance of a Portrait" published in
1858.
