THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
The Plans for Laying the Corner
Stone of the First BuiIdinE.

The improvement of the grounds of the
American University and the beginning
of the buildings have been somewhat delay
ed, partly by reason of the recent financial
depression and partly by the question Of
grade in important avenues In that section
of the city. The extension of Nebraska
avenue in the direction of the Lough-
borough road and across it has altered the
site of at least one building. 1t was the
original intention to build some of them
facing the Loughborough road but now the
plan will be changed. The grading of Mas
sachusetts avenue extended is another
factor, involving, as it does, the question
CT whether the high ground will be ma
terially cut down.
Frederick Law Olmsted & Co. of Boston,
the landscape artists, have the plans near
ly completed for the grounds and location
of buildings. The architects are also at
work on plans for three buildings, namely
the administration, chapel and historical
and library buildings
1t is confidently expected that the corner
stone of the first named structure will be
laid in the early SPRING or possibly sooner.
1t was to have been laid last March, but
the changes mentioned have delayed 1t.
The event, when it does come off, will be
made great occasion in this city. The
administration building, the first one to be
begun, is to be of stone, highly ornamented.
and over 200 feet long. The library Wi
1OllOW next, though tne cndpel, unless
some individual comes to the university S
aid, Will not be started for some time.
In addition to the site and the $4,000
previously pledged, a resident of this city
has given $500 toward the grading of the
grounds. Bishop John f. Hurst has re-
ceived subscriptions toward the Asbury
Hall of $500 from the southeastern Indi-
ana conference. The Tennessee (coloreD
conference has contributed $500, and the
east Tennessee (white) conference S465. DIR.
Beiler, the wee chancellor, during his re-
cent trip to the northwest, received from
one man, who will not allow either the
name of his city or his own name to be
made public, an agreement to endow
scholarship to the amount of $4,000. The
scholarship is to be limited to a northwest
college. He also secured the making of a
will in favor of the university to the
amount of $4,000. The same party is also
contemplating giving $4,000 more, but has
not fully decided.
The plan Of the university will include
at least fifteen great departments, each
with it's separate building and corps Of in
structors. All will, however, be correlated
and combined. AS is we'll known, the pur-
pose is the training of specialists in all
lines of professional and technical educa-
tional work.

THE PRESIDENTS DUTY.
Mr.. Meredith Says He Should Vote for
2 Hill.

The Virginia Democratic Association held
a rally in the shape of a reception at its
headquarters No. Ole Pennsylvania avenue,
last night, and it's members and their guests
cheered Congressman Meredith to the echo
when he declared that President Cleveland
should have stopped in New York and reg
istered, and then gone back when the time
came and voted for David b. Hill.
1T is Grover Clevelands bounden duty to
indorse Mr.. HILL" said Mr.. Meredith. 1.-The
fact that he is President increases rather
tlap lessons his responsibility. If he Is
the democrat he ought to be he can find no
excuse for faltering or hanging back from
the support of the straight ticket in his
own state, upon which he has been so
many times elected to Office. Those VINO be-
lieve that these remarks constitute treason
may make the most of it,
- The audience enthusiastically approved
the sentiments enunciated, and the associa-
ton unanimously shouted aye when Presi-
dent II. L. Biscoe called for its decision on
resolution sending the associations greet
ing ito David b. Hill in his splendid fight
against the enemies of democracy" and ex-
tending sincere and heartfelt wishes for his
triumphant success.
Previous to Mr. Merediths speech and the
adoption of the resolutions, there were
many speeches delivered by many. other
party leaders in the Old Dominion, all of
which breathed loyalty to Jacksonian Orin-
ciples and were replete with objurgations
to Virginians TO go home and vote and in
sure continuance IN Congress of men who
represented IDEAS consistent with their own.
Among those who spoke were Judge John
Goode Joseph E. Willard, James p JEFF
fries, Walter Moore and Samuel Brent.
The 900 persons present were entertained
with true Virginia hospitality after the
speechmaking was concluded at a collation.
which almost reached the proportions of a
banquet.

One Who Has Suffered.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 should like to add a word to what has
already been said about ladies wearing large
hats at the theater. While attending the
theater recently a lady with an immense
hat occupied the seat immediate ly in from [
of me. There were two bows across the
front and they stood up perfectly straight.
My view of the stage was completely OBJ
scured, and / asked her if she would re-
move her hat, but she did not. Now, Is 1t
right for any one to willfully obstruct the
view of another purpose1y? Won't the
ladies kindly take the hint and, If they
have not small hats, take them off upon
entering? l know that you. can see the

gear-Pertinent Suggestions.

VIII 1t be a total abolition of feminine
headgear at theaters and places of amuse-
ment, or will all the American world be just
as well pleased by the adoption of a theater
bonnet?
The ordinary run Of fashion plates re-
veals the narrowing fact that the feminine
hat is to be trimmed wider and higher for
the coming winter. If not now, then when.
in the name of suffering humanity and
equally grieved hu-woman-ity, can the tall
hat grievance be made a burning question
and forever and always settled-by burning
up the hat In other words, the doom of
the tall hat has been spoken. 1t has been
written hundreds of times, but now it mas

capable of the most heroic endurance and
sweetest sympathy in assuaging mental
and physical suffering, that she will also
deliberately pile such architectural effects
in millinery on top of her head that the
pleasure Of every hapless person behind
her at the play is turned into a sort of
blind and hopeless misery. This ought to
be the very strongest kind of argument,
but everyone knows it is not, for 1t is weak
from over use. But when you think of the
Municipalities Of these transgressors, you
want to weep over them, pray for them
and then If all this fails, simply make them
mad, and win that way. .s.
But all that kind of a thing is going to
end now. 1t will no longer be considered
gcod form for any woman to wear hat to
the theatre, which by any fair minded per-
son could be called an obstruction. The
public mind has been wrestling with this
problem for a long time. and there are
many women who have sensibly discarded
the big hat. a.,. -
Still there are many women who still
grievously sin in this direction, and the
crusade this fall is to convert them so
thoroughly to the error Of their ways that
they will either remove their Objectionable
tall hats or better still wear theater bon
nets. The Star has no particular brand of
theater bonnet to recommend. 1t thinks the
ladies are the judges of what will best suit
each individual taste, but The Star is
smuggling right up to fashion and knows she
will lend her all powerful aid In. this good
cause. Come to think Of It, fashion Is not
to blame for the tall hat at theaters any,
way. The goddess, as tyranical as she is
sometimes ade out no more suggested
that big hats were the proper thing for
theater wear than she did that common
sense walking shoes make the best dancing
slippers. Fashion believes in variety, nay
she insists on it, If her votaries are to be
stars of the first magnitude, an therefore
since the mind of woman runneth to the
contrary, there have been evening bonnets
kept as staples in every millinery en-
pc rum.

Opinions have been asked on this sub

and at the same time most frequent thea

the sentiment Is unanimous that the big

much secrecy in and about the stone dry
dock at the Mare island navy-yard and on
board the United States cruiser Charleston,
which rests on its keel within the dry
dock, has been the subject of much wonder.
The real cause is the fact that the keel of
the cruiser has been found TO be- in a bad

keel bolts or rivits have become corroded
and eaten away to a depth varying from

that on picking away the outer, water
from the inner null comes dripping through
u9on the workmen. Corroded rivets which
PASSED their time of usefulness be
found fully one-half the length of the keel.
The exact cause of the corrosion and the
reasons to be expected therefrom is a ques-
