WASHINGTON, March 25.-No little dis
satisfaction Is felt among the naval of e.
icers over the details of che programme
for the celebration of the Washington
inaugural centennial in New York, next
month. According to the programme
the army and navy are to figure promin
emily in the demonstration. Major
Genera! Schoteld, the highest command

selected to take charge of the military
forces, and against that sele ctlou
no criticism Is made. But the naval of

TW Young Men Living Near Richmond Way
laid and Beaten.
RICHMOND, Vac. G. Christian and j.
Hall Moore, who had been attending a
meeting of the young mems Christian
association in this city, were driving to
their home in Henry county Saturday
night, and when about mile from the
city limits were attacked and severely
beaten by party of white cops. The
latter wore white gowns and white caps.
They sprang from the bushes aud seized
the horse the young men were driving.
The youths jumped out and grapped
with two OF the white caps and a despe-
rate struggle took place. Moore and
Christian were thrown to the ground, pis
tolls were pointed at their he ads, and after
being tied they were severely beaten with
sticks. The white caps then left the two
men still hound and fired pistols at them
as they departed. The following notice
received by one of the victims gives the
alleged object of the desperadoes: Your
conduct has of late been such that the
laws of our organization compel as to
take some steps towards correcting YOUR
morals. Our order Is one that extends
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
Maine tc Mexico. Our principal object
is 20 thoroughly purify the morals of the
young men throughout the country, there
by benefting and raising society to a
higher standard. It Is useless for Us to
make any charge as your own conscience

A CHANCE FoR THE AMERICAN BOY

When an abuse is to be corrected or a
public want supplied the man who makes
the FIRST practical attempt in the required
direction is the real hero whether success
full or not. Such man is Colonel Auch-
muty, of New York, the fousder of the
trade schools in east sixty ty-seventh street
in that city.
The old fashioned apprentice system
had been destroyed by the rule of the
trades unions limiting the number of ap-
prentices To two in all shops with less
than one hundred workmeu. The effect
OF this rule WAS two-fold. Ii threw the
skilled occupations into the hands of
foreign W rkmeu and compelled Ameri-
can boys to choose between q profession
already osercrowded and q place among
the millions of uuskilled workmeu.
Colonel Auchmuty, who was not only
an architect and builder but man of in
dependent fortsne, determined TO make
one effort to give the American boy q
chance. He established q school at which
bricklaying, carpentering, plumbing, ma
son work and other branches of the
building art were taught. He did not
make the enterprise charity. Those
entering the hricklsying class were re-
quired 10 pay fee of $50, those in the
plumbing class Ss5, and in like manner
with the other trades. The instruction
was thorough, emily the best teachers be-
ing employed, who would allow no work
to be shghted. All the incentives to
perfection used in other educational
institutions, su,h as examinations, prizes
and public exhibitions, were employed.
The result has been gratifying in the
extreme. In the few years the school has
been in existence two thousand lads from
all parts of the country have been taught
the use of their hands, a class of fift,
plumbers graduating las. week. Th'
graduates have found it oompsrativel,
easy to obtain positions.

How the Architects of BuenOs AyreS Make
Buildings That Cannot Burn.

How the Architects of BuenOs Ayres Make
Buildings That Cannot Burn.
1t is curious that while we have such
disastrous and numerous fires in this
and neighboring counties there are mod
ern cities nor far off absolutely fire proof,
as Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. Yet it
is SO easy to make houses fire proof with
wood shat many of the architects and
builders of Buenos Ayres and other
towns probably never think they are fire
proof. They neither use iron nor the
arch. AS the province Is without trees
the builders have to use the hard woods
from far up the river, which are dear, and
so they use little, this being the whole
secret.
hundred walking sticks may be placed
two and a half inches from each other,
and yet fire cannot be made of them if
they are spread grid-iror fashion, say
across two little walls of brick, and fire
kindled below; it will burn through, say,
four of the sticks which are in flames,
but there it ends. In the sametway, if
wagon load of shavings and pieces of
pine were provided, and half were packed
und:r the best bed in a Buenos Ayres
house, and the other half piled over it and
set on nre, the DOu0re WOulG eventually
burn through four or tive of the hsrdwood
joists above the brick and tiles of the
floor resting OF the same would fall
through, but there it would end-the
house could not be set on fire.
The houses are built as follows, say the
Mexico Two Republics, the material being
brick: Each floor and the roof (which is
fat are supported by ioists of hardwood
about the same distance apart as in this
country; across these are laid fat rails of
the same, and ths spaces between these
are bridged over by thin bricks 1874
inches long, their ends resting on the
rails; another layer of bricks is then laid
with lime, and generally on this layer
of fiat tiles. The roof is exactly the
same, but has q slope of about one in
thirty. Then the doors and windows
have 20 boxes, but simply frames, which
are set up on building the walls and built
in. There is no lsthing of wainscot, nor
skirting of the bottom of the walls. And
ell the wood is of hard and hsrdish kinds,
slow to ignite Thus the houses are, as
already said absOiuteIy fire uro0f
