completed, will be a notable one, as af.
fording a fine illustration Of what can be
done with brick in the way Of ornamental

FOR most Of the brick which will be used,

fourteen inches long, instead Of the ordi-
nary length, nine inches. The arches
and ornamentation over the windows and

according to special designs. The pillars
which are introduced will be composed
Of rounded brick. Large bricks, octago-
nal in shape, fan-shaped and of a variety
Of designs, will be set in the walls, Civ
Ing richness and variety which will be
very effective. The side of the house on
Sixteenth street will be made especially
rich in ornamental work, yet at the same
time the effect will be substantial and
solid. While some stone work will be
used in the foundations, yet the real e.
tectiveness in these particulars will be
secured by the brick work, and will
demonstrate the fitness of the use Of
brick even in buildings where solidity
instead of lightness is the design sought

important Decision of the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The secretary Of the treasury has decided
question involving the duties on tinplatc. The
law puts d0ty of l cent per pound on the
article commercially known as tinplate. 1t
was commended by American manufacturers
Of sheet iron, which, to some extent, comes
into competition with the larger sizes of tin
plate, that the commercial article of tinplate
is restricted to certain sizes and thicknesses
and that the larger sizes ought to pass under
a much higher duty. The secretary, however,
decided that all sheets of iron coated purely
with tin come within the classification of tin
plate, dutiable at l cent per pound, without
destruction of size or thickness.
