HoWARD'S ROW.
Its Condemnation by the Health
Department.

The condemnation of Howard's Row, n
row of frame dwelling houses in South
Washington, at the foot of the Capitol, by
the Health Department few days ago, met
the favor of every property owner and resi-
dent in that vicinity. The row Is composed
ofabout nine old-timo three.story houses
and resembles largo barn. Each room Is
occupied by a different family, there being
no less than 100 families In the row, most
Of whom are colored. There is not a thief
in the city who does not know Howard's
Row, and tho old rookery conceals many a
hidden crime that would freeze a persons
blood ifdivulgod. Now that tho row has
been condemned, let the work of evacuation
be commenced as soon as possible, as the rid q.
dance Of this roost will not only be good one
to South Washington, but to tho city at
large.

General Gordon has concentrated his forces,
economical his supplies and strongly en-
trenched himself in some ell-fortifed and

he can, for many months, resist the attacks

TIE deficiencies Of tho present Congress
and the defects of the House rules are
shown in striking and deplorable manner
by the fate of the pending public building
legislation. A very large percentage OF the
appropriations for public buildings made of
late years have been either much smaller
than really required or ridiculously ex-
travagant. OF the Government buildings
erected in the past, a majority are already
overcrowded and inadequate to the demands
upon them. OF the public buildings ro-
Gently appropriated for, the allotted sums
are in nearly every instance too small for
the actual present requirements of the
places at which the structures are to be
located
Supervising Architect Bell has made
urgent appeals to Congress to increase the
limits on the public buildings at Alb bing-
don, Va; Columbus, Ohio; Council Bluffs,
Iowa; Des Moiues, Iowa; Fort Wayne, Ind;
Harrisonburg, Va; Jefferson City, No.

Congress has shown little disposition to
act upon any of these recommendations,
and such buildings as can be- put through
in the Sundry Civil bill are about the only
ones likely to be provided for In cases
where Congress fails to increase the limits,
work will proceed on the present inadequate
appropriations and unsatisfactory build
ings will be erected in the knowledge that
before they are completed their dimensions
will be inadequate for the requirements

From the English Illustrated Magazine.
The Schipka Pass had been In Rus
sian possession for quite q month, but
no plan of it had yet been made. The
emperor said at once, "Ignatieff, go and
fetch paper and pencil" ~Ignatieff went,
and there remained the emperor and
myself alone together, standing oppo-
site to each ether, with . little green

that drifted across my mind as we sseod

man so oppressed by ills.
AS we so stood, he listening to me
talking, there came into his face for .
deeting moment q strange, troubled ex-
preston, which seemed to reveal the
sudden thought-"What a chance for
this man to kill mel" The plan was
soon completed, and as skepticaliy look
ing it over the emperor said:
"Mr. Forbes said he-be spoke IN

"In the artillery or engineers, doubt

"No, sir" said |, 'in the cavalry Of

that your cavalry officers are for the

by the emperor illustrates with what
