THE NIXON BUILDING.

The interest that attached to the
building is related in the words of an
inscription that was placed upon the
cornerstone after the big fire. 1t was
as follows:
This freproof building was the only one in
the city that successfully stood the test of the
great fire of October and 9, 1871.
The building was not finished when
the fire occurred, though the walls were
plastered and the floors laid. The in
terror was full of lumber intended for
finishing purposes and in some of the
rooms it was piled nearly to the ceiling.
The structure was in the midst of the
burned district, and the test which it
withstood was exceptionally severe.
When the fire was over, it was the only
building that could be fixed up for oc-
cupancy, its walls and rooms being prac-
tically intact Ten days after the fire it
was all ready for tenants. The tenants
were also ready for the building, and it
is said that business men used to follow
Mr.. Nixon around begging for 5-year
leases at exorbitant rents.
The secret Of the buildings noncom-
bustibility lay in the fact that the iron
beams were heavily coated with plaster
of paris, which is practically a noncon-
ductor of heat. Mr.. Nixon, on the adj
vice of his architect, had insisted on this
being done, though his contractors tried
to make him believe it was useless. Mr..
Nixon had boosted that he was going to
erect building that should last till the
crack of doom, and he watched the con-
tractors carefully to see that their neg
lect did not interfere with his plans. He
was well repaid for his watchfulness.
The building was originally five stories
high and cost about S1jO,O0O but two
stories were added in 1885. 1t had mar
BILE wainscoting and floors in the halls
and iron stairways and was an archi-
tectural wonder in its day. The first
story was Of limestone and the upper
part of Ohio sandstone. The founda-
tons were extra thick and well con-
creted.

St. Augustine. Fla, which was found
ed in 1865, has long been regarded as the
Oldest American city, but it now APP
pears that Tucson, A. t., is at least 10
years older. In the year 1862 their Cath
Ole majesties Ferdinand and Isabella
of Spain issued a charter to and for the
pueblo of Tucson, which after having
been mislaid for a matter of 300 years
or more has recently been discovered
among the archivesof the church Of San
Xavier del BAG, which is situated about
10 miles below the present town Of Tue

In conversation with young Russian
poet recently Count Leo Tolstoi ex-
pressed himself as follows: Il entertain
a general dislike to all poetry, and for
this reason-that it prevents one from
giving clear, intelligent and compre-
hensive expression to ones thoughts and
ideas. Why should we laboriously strain
to conform our expression to the rhyth-
mical and metrical rules of versifica-
ton when we can the better and more
clearly convey our thoughts in simple
and lucid prosey II is as il, instead of
permitting me the free use of my limbs,
You tether my legs and make me hobble
around the object of observation. In
order to he succinct. concise and com
prehensively expressive. Ialways strive
80 to construct my language that every
reader, even he of the scantiest intelli
gence, can, without the slightest trouble
or reflection, at once grasp my meaning

tracing labor would be to conform 10

the whole figure is most natural. The

The figure is s feet inches high, and

Mr. Loyal Farragut of New York,
son of the admiral, is expected to be
present at the dedication.
The reunion is expected TO be one of
the most successful in the history of the
society. The meetings will be held in
historic Faneuil hall, and elaborate
preparations for the entertainment of
the veterans have been made. Rev.
Horace Little, ex-chaplain United States
volunteers, is to be the orator, and Rich
ard Watson Glider will read a poem
written for the occasion.

THE LAST LOCK,

From an engineering standpoint the
work is marvel. It's average breadth
and depth are greater than those Of the
Suez canal, though the length is not so
great, being but little over 80 miles.
The locks are built in groups of three,
of different dimensions, so that vessels
of all sizes may pass without unneces-
sary waste Of water. At Eastman,
where the canal enters the Mersey and
may be said to end, the largest of the
locks is 600 feet by 80. the next $50 feet
by 80, and the smallest $50 feet by 30.
Between the locks are concrete piers
30 feet wide, and each lock has in addi-
ton to the ordinary gates a storm gate
formidable enough to Withstand the force
Of the greatest waves. These gates are
made of greenheart, species of laurel
from Guiana which never decays, but
has the disadvantage of being so poison
Gus tlat splinter will produce a pain
full and dangerous wound.

brother-in-law, Emperor William of
Germany.
The duke is the only brother of the
Empress Augusta Victoria and is Of
the elder branch of the house of Hol-
stein, which is descended from Chris
tian |, king of Denmark, Norway and
Sweden in the fifteenth century; hence
the 'heir in Norway" which figures SO
peculiarly in his official title. He has
large estates, but is noted for the sim
plicity Of his manners and his demo
cratic tastes. He takes no interest what
ever in politics and very little in court
affairs, but is fond Of the turf and owns
a splendid collection of horses.

Captain Henry Bartlett, who will com
shand the vessel, has been conspicuously
successful as a sealer and a fisherman,
though he is not yet 90 years old. His
father and grandfather were famous
sealers before him, and he made his first
trip when he was but ID years old. When
pc was II, he was second in command of
the steam sealer Panther. Since then he
has been in command of the steamers
Fimrod, Neptune. Hector and Algerine
and has not only made successful sealing
trips in each of them, but has sailed them
across the Atlantic and up the Mediter-
ranean. Last year during sealing
cruise he circumnavigated the island of
Newfoundland, something unheard of in
recent ys;Irs
Soon afterward he was offered the
command of a new ship to be built and
equipped under his sole direction. He
accepted and went to England to have
the vessel built. There, however. he saw
the gunboat Algerine, which the navy de-
parf1nent had for sale He purchased her
and had her altered at Dundee, brought
her across to Newfoundland and made
q fairly good catch in season of almost
total failure
C4Qtain Bartlett is nearly feet tall,
Of Muscular, well made figure, frank
countenance and cheerful disposition.
He knows every rock, shoal and current
to the northern end of Labrador and
has had sufficient experience with ice

quaiptance with the arctic region. Dun

MANcHEsTeR'S SHIP CANAL.
The Dream of Many Years Is Realized a
Last

The Dream of Many Years Is Realized at
Last.
Within short time the great ship ca
nal from Manchester to the sea will be
opened for traffic, and the hopes Of more
than a generation Of cotton operators
Will begin to be realized. For many
years these men have dreamed Of a time
when the vessels bearing their cotton
from abroad could sail proudly up to
their own wharves and deliver cargoes
without paying toll at Liverpool. Nor
was the matter purely one Of sentiment,
for the cost of the 30-mile shipment of
merchandise from Liverpool to Manches-
ter by rail was as great as that of a 90
OOOmile ocean voyage.
Though the canal project was vigor-
ously agitated for quarter Of a century.
the opposition of interested railroads and
the city of Liverpool was 50 strong and
successful that it was not till 1887 that
parliament could be induced to pass an
act authorizing its construction. Work
was begun the same year and has since
been constantly pushed, often with
force of 1900 men, yet the time limit at
first set for its completion was exceeded
by two years, and the cost, which was
estimated not TO exceed $33, 600, 900, has
aggregated fully $4,000, 900.

DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. records prove
he was brevet colonel at the age of 18
though UNATTACHED to any regiment, and
was commissioned lieutenant colonel OF
light dragons in 1S42, when he was but
%. By the time he was 90 he was ma.
Jor general, and at 81 he was a full
fedged general, having seen his first ac-
tive service during the Crimean cam
paign from 1854 to 1865.
But during these years of rapid ad-
vancement the duke was by no means
idle or inattentive to the duties attach
ing to the several positions he was called
upon to fill. He devoted much time TO
mastering the details of the science Of
war and with such good results that he
attained perfect knowledge of duties
that had never come within his practical
experience. The terse and forcible
phrases in which he sums up the achieve
ments and blunders of all ranks mt army
maneuvers are not the words of man
ignorant Of military matters, though
they may be uttered in the manner of
the martinez. The duke is certainly "A
strict disciplinarian, but is full of con-
sideration for the health and comfort Of
his men, steadfastly refusing to have
them exposed to unnecessary hardships
for the sake of mere display.
He was raised to the rank of field mar
shall in 1862 and subsequently appointed
commander in chief, the appointment
being confirmed by royal patent in 1887.
In 1888 he contracted morganatic mar
rage with an actress, Miss Featherstone,
who has borne him several children.
These are known by the family name Of
Fitz George and have no rights of sue
cessiOn to their fathers titles.

Demolition of the Only Building That Es-
capped the Chicago Fire.
In this era of fireproof buildings that
burn with the CELEBRITY of the traditional
finder it seems like an act of vandalism
to destroy structure that has not only
proved to be what it pretended, but
proved it in such manner as to become
a landmark of historic interest. Never
theless a Chicago syndicate has done
that very thing in demolishing the old
Nixon building, on the corner of Monroe
and La Sale streets, to make room for
another mammoth Of the skyscraping

The Cap,tol's Model.

To the Editor OF the Washington Star;
While Of late have read much that Is
interesting concerning the early history OF
ths Capitol. have never seen reprint OF
JGferson's letter 10 Madison concerning
the original. written from Paris In I'M as
follows: we took for our model what
Is called the Maison Quarree OF Nismes'
one Of the most beautiful IL not the most
beautiful and precious mOrscl OF archl-

or "Carree" az II is now written, must
be convinced Of this at once. Besides,
here at Richmond We have much OF the
evidence to the same effect including
the model I'm stucco. which Jefferson
sent here from Paris
True. under Jcffersons directions the
model made at Paris was varied from the
original somewhat: true. also. that the
commissioners departed still further from
the model In stucco. but the resemblance
10 the Maison Carrce remains.
The Maison Carree at Nismes is now
used as a museum, we believe. 1t was
built some 900 years ago "a a Roman
temple and has no windows in it, being
lighted chiefly from an open-front abut-
ting on the portico.
