WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
How it Is Proposed to Celebrate the
Day in This City.

A week from next Monday, the anniversary
Of the birth of Washington occurs. From the
preparations in progress it appears probable
that the day will be celebrated here with some
thing like the old time enthusiasm. An effort
will be made to make it a thorough holiday not
only in the departments, but in private busi-
ness establishments. The Clerks Early Closing
association are endeavorIng to create such q
cover that they will suffer no loss by closing on
holidays.
Should the weather permit, the Washington
Continentals, with their friends. will make q
pilgrimage to the tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon, and at night, with the Martha
Washington association, give q ball at the
Washington Light Infantry armorys At the
tomb of Washington there will be appropriate
exercises, and addresses will be delivered by
c. Black, commissioner OF pensions, and Hon.
George G. Cabell, of Virginia, and appropriate
musical selections will be performed by the
United States Marine band. Should the weather
to be held at Mount Vernon will take place at
the Infantry arnOry. The committee, on which
there are representatives from all the states and
territories, expect u delegation from the Carl
other associations from the District, to partici-
pate with them in this pilgrimage.
The Oldest Inhabitants association will &C
cording to custom, observe the day by an open
meeting, to which their friends are invited.
Appropriate exercises will be held. Mr.. George
A. Bohrer will preside. Washington's Fare
we'll Address will be read by Mr. Robert Ball
and an Grafton will be delivered by Rev. DR.
Lindsay, rector OF ST. Johns p. E. church, West
Washington.
The Capital City Guards, the Washington
Cadets, and perhaps other colored military
companies will make parade as q battalion.

THE AGE OF BUILDINGS.
How Long 1t TAX es for q City to Rebuild
Itself.

show long does 1t take for a city to rebuild
itself?" said the building inspector, repeating
the question of a STAR reporter. "Well, that
depends upon the prOgressiveness of the city,
L should say about seventy-five years. That is
the average life OF n building nowadays. There
are very few houses In this city that were
standing seventy-ffve years ago. The old houses
on North Capitol street, built by Gen. Wash
ington are older than that, and there are other
old buildings in the city. The Capitol is an old
building, but am speaking of private houses.
The buildings erected by the government, under
careful supervision and at great expense, OF
erected for private residences. The building
which is being erected by Mr.. Abel on + street
Will cost more yer foot, suppose, than most
government buildings. No, it may not be a
good investment. but IL is not being put up as
an investment. 1t is monument. The new
however. just as well built as that. That build.
ing will be standing thousand years from
now. III may, OF course, need some repairs be-
fore that time and the root, of course NAV have
10 be rebuilt. No material or work Is allowed
to go into .lIat building unless 1t fs I'D to the
standard. The army engineers who have charge
are very strict. or course a private individual
not pay. Yes, good brick ought to be Just as
durable as stone. It depends a great deal upon
the manner in which the bricks are laid. Good
mortar becomes harder with age. It becomes
harder than the brick ITSELF When dry bricks
are laid during the warm months the bricks
Bricks laid at such q time ought to be wet A
wall erected in April or May or October and
November. of sufficient thickness, ought to last
for two or three centuries"

Written for THE EVENING STAR
IT'S finished Ny long dream Of years
Il blended in this stone;
Pefections selfis chiseiled there,
And by this hand alone
Iprayed the gods to breathe new life
Into the cold hard block
Let warmth come o'er the freezing heart
And cut in twain the lock
Which bars the cold damp wave Of death
From living light and love,
Sends back the sweet WARM sunshine
Refulgent from above.
It breathea It movesi II feels the warm
Fresh d0w Of coursing blood
Chicken the torpid frozen veins
With living crimson aood.
How came thee here! How dare ny:
Jdeem thee fhr removed
Above the race ofliving souls;-
work BY gods approved
No dream could fashion such - thou;
Venus. the beauteous one.
Would hang her head In vsry shama.-
Give thee the palm alone!

Claimed thee. II not thou art coudamnod

Safe but Expensive.
From the Richmond State.

Young men who go into society great deal
do not like the chaperone system that has be-
come so general in Washington. They say that
IL prevents many young lady from being in
vited to the theater. A young man from Ken
lucky, who has place in a department, has
asked the daughter OLA prominent Official to
accompany him TO the theater. She accepted
but said that she would be obliged to ask a lady
friend to go along too. Certainly" said the
young man. The lady who was to act as
chaperone said her sister would not mind being
a member of the party. Then demoiselle No.
said: "Well, II your sister is going mine would
like to go too" The consequence was the young
kentuckian found himself in charge of four
ladies. After the theater he proposed refresh
ments, and the dear creatures accepted, aud
among the refreshments that these angelic
fair ones called for were beefsteaks at 81 25

Written for THE EVENING STAR
A child was playing with q shell, aud heard
Therein the low sad sob. that seems to come
From oceans troubled deep, awaiting some
Absorbing. endless sorrow, that no word
Can teil;-till listening great longing stirred
His childish heart TO seek the sea- and dumb
And deaf to other playthings now,-ths hum
or shell, the warbling sweetness of his BIRD
He craved the sea- So of In peaceful hours
We hear the murmuring OF some far-on Deep
OF which the mystic, sunny shore high towers
Beyond our reach. Then nought the Joys that lean
Upon our way. tho sweet as Eden flowers
Unsstisnsd our hearts yet higher leap
