The Cause of Delays on Public Buildings.

The Cause of Delays on Public Buildings.
A communication from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in reply to
resolution of the House requiring
him to inform that body why work
on some of the new public buildings,
and work on the extension and i'm
provement of occupied building auth
orized during the Fifty-frst Congress
had not been commenced, and why
more than $9,O0O,0O0 of money ap-
propriated had remained unexpended
during the past two years. 1t ap-
pears, he says, from the report of
the Supervising Architect that this
legislation entailed such a large
amount of new work on his office as
to make it entirely disproportionate
to the force employed in the Office,
Congress failed to make the in
creases in the force demanded by the
office, while the facts showed it to be
absolutely necessary. The $S,OOO,
600 referred to does not remain un-
expended at this date, but a large
balance of it remains available, and
its expenditure is temporarily pre-
vented by the conditions imposed by
law, which are entirely beyond the
control of the department. The
Secretary reviews the requirement of
the law regarding plans, sites and
the erection of buildings, and in con
clusion says:
" deem it necessary to state that
there has not been any fact connected
with the condition of the treasury
that has in any way interfered with
or retarded the action taken by the
department in regard to carrying
out the provisions of the acts of Con
gress, and that the earnest purpose
and effort of the office of the Super
vising Architect to take such action
with all reasonable dispatch has re
ceived every encouragement by the
policy and direction of the depart
ment

The only interest the United States
has in the matter of the seizure of
the Gilbert Islands by British war
vessel last Spring is the maltreat-
ment of the consul of the United
States. at hat time by the COM
mander of the vessel.
The consul reported that he had
been assaulted by British forces,
whereupon protest was lodged
with the Government of Great Brit
ain by our Minister in London under
instructions from the State Depart
ment, and assurances were received
that the officer responsible for the
assault would be called to account
for the action.
The map of the islands of the Paci-
tic issued by the photographic Bu-
reau of the United States Navy De-
partment included the Gilbert Islands
in the territory claimed by Great
Britain.

Remedies for Burns,

Where there has been serious
case of burning, the absence of pain,
often a feature of the case, is bad
omen, as it shows that the nerves
have been seriously shocked Severe
pain, on the other side, is not always
an indication of a dangerous case.
Where a burn appears to be serious
physician should be summoned at
once In the meantime an external
which shall exclude the air should be
used. Wet piece of old linen with
equal parts of lime water and olive
oil, shaken well together, and apply
it to the injured part, covering it
with a layer of cotton wadding
Where lime water and oil are not at
hand, a layer of dry flour or of olive
oil alone may be applied
An application Of equal parts of
hot water and milk with a little bi-
carbonate of soda in it is another
preparation recommended. If you
have nothing else at hand, use warm
water applied on "a linen rag and COW
cred with another rag or with cotton
wadding. The use of stimulants to
support the strength of a person
suffering from a severe burn is essen
tial, In case of burns from alkalies.
lime or potash, weak vinegar or dill
uted acid will frequently soothe the
suffering. In case of burns from
strong acid, like oil of vitrol, carbon
ate Of soda and water or lime water
should at once be applied, or even a
thick mixture of soap and water.
After this olive oil may be used. 1t
is good plan to keep lime water al
ways on hand in case of slight burns,
such as are sometimes received in
work about the cook stove. Our

GRANDPARENTS
They Come Nearer to u Child than its
Father and Mother.

'''''N
\ grandfather is very much nearer
boy of five or ten years old than
the boys father is apt to be. He
looks through older yet more child
like eyes, and appreciates the boy S
difficulties and temptations more
readily and more truly than the
younger man does 1t almost seems
at times as if a man must be a grand
father before he entirely enters into
the fullness of fatherhood.
AS for grandmothers, says Har-
pers Bazaar, no family is complete
that lacks one a grandmother over
the way, in the next street, in the
next town, is blessing, but a grand
mother resident in the family is a
gift for which to thank God fervent-
ly. Who else so tender, so sweet, so
dear? To her quiet room young and
old bring their perplexities, to find
the patient wisdom and the ready
common sense which explain what
ever was battling, and devise way
into freedom from care. Grand
mother chair is moved into the sun
niest corner of the kitchen when
grave household enterprises are
afoot, 1t is her receipt by which the
wedding cake is compounded for the
bride, and the mince-meat prepared
for the winters supply.
Grandmother always has court
plaster and witch-hazel aud arnica
and toothache drops in the little cab
met in her room. She can spread
poultices and binG up wounds, and
her sweet words and smiles 90 as far
toward healing bruises as her mater
ial remedies do.
Grandparents are accused by their
sons and daughters, with a fair show
of reason, of being decidedly more le-
nient with juvenile offenders, less
sternly disposed toward discipline
than they were to their children in
an earlier day. They would spoil
the grandchildren if allowed, declare
the fathers and mothers, serenely
confident in their own discretion
and quite sure they are right in their
sternly repressive methods.
Never mind The wheel of time
in its revolution is bringing on the
day when the man who now laugh
ingly reproves his parents for their
fancied weakness will himself stand
in awed pleasure gazing into the
round eyes of the second generation,
and feeling himself the founder of a
line Then it will be his turn to
emulate the grandparent, as the
grandparent has been from the be-
ginning

How the Worlds Fair can be Protected
from the Cholera.

from the Cholera.
Director General Davis of the
Worlds Fair has submitted to the
council of administration a lengthy
report upon the cholera quarantine.
In it he says there are but two
sources from which the introduction
of cholera into our country can be
expected. The first and most dan
gerous is the arrival of immigrants
and visitors from ports where cholera
has prevailed during the past season,
and where it is still not entirely
eradicated. The second is the arrival
from said ports of bales of merchan-
disc, principally rags. He appre-
hends little or no danger from the
latter. AS regards immigrants and
visitors, he says that to give the
general public confidence in the eff
cheney of the quarantine regulations
at the seaboard, it is absolutely nee
essary the United States Govern
ment should assume the control and
direction of the service and become
responsible for the enforcement not
alone of sanitary inspections and
precautions ON the arrival of infected
or suspected vessels, but also of reg
ulations covering the acceptance of
passengers from infected districts
This would inspire confidence and
prevent any general apprehension Of
epidemic Regarding the local as
pect of the question, the Director
General says the city authorities
should make every effort to keep the
city conspicuously clean, and the
Worlds Fair grounds should have
distinct sanitary inspection of their
own with rigid rules prescribed by
the medical director.

WAKE FOREST, BRIGHT, GAY.
A Brilliant Entertainment by the La
dies Of the Hill.

This evening the college chapel vas the
scene of the most interesting, instructive
and enjoyable entertainment ever given
at Wake Forest. 1t was the lopg looked
forward to and anxiously expected mus
icale by the ladies of = Hill. Beauti-
full tableaux and we'll rendered recita
tions, dialogues, etc, combined to make
it q memorable occasion at Wake Forest.
The plan was originated by Miss Carter,
formerly of Colorado, and with the
hearty co operation OF the talent which
the 'hill" affords in the many accom-
pllshed residents and students was m ide
u grand success Extensive preparations
had been going on for several weeks, and
their elimination to night was looked
forward to with marked excitement.
The proceeds, netting the neat sum Of
$50 90 to the athletic association.
Space forbids mention of all the per
formers The instrumental music IVES

dered by Mrs. Sledd, Misses ID .niels and
Carter were absolutely perfect and de
erve especial mention. The rich 80
pranos of Mrs. Sledd aud Mss Daniels,
and the cultured contralto of Miss Car
ter fairly charmed the audience, and
would have done credit to any occasion.
That they were appreciated was mani
tested in repeated encores.
