Interesting Work Being Done on
the City Post Office.
HIGHER THAN THE CAPITOL dome
Four Great Clocks to Tell All
Washington the Hour
A STEEP-P PITCHED ROOF

One Of the most delicate md interesting
pieces of work on the new city post Office
building is about to commence. This Is
the construction of the immense clock
faces, sixteen feet in diameter in the tower
that springs from the center of the north
front of the structure. There will be four
of these clocks, one on each side, and the
building of the arches that outline the
upper arcs of the circles will be an ex-
tremely nice piece of masonry, when the
distance from the ground Is taken into
consideration. The centers or frames for
these circles are now on the ground be-
low. ready to be hoisted into place
When fully completed, this tower will
be one of the highest structures in Wash
ington. higher than the dome of the Cap
ftol by several feet. 1t will be topped of
course. by the Washington monument, and
standing in comparatively low ground, 1t
will not show off to the advantage which
would belong to it if 1t were on a greater
elevation.
The tower now stands in its present I'M
completed condition at 1876 feet inches
from the grade line, which is about the
level CT the avenue pavement. For 10 feet
the helght Is taken up by the main struc-
ture itself, which, however, carries the
Idea of a tower from within a story of
the ground by means of slight projection
from the flush face of the building.
Work let TO BE Done.
There is yet to be sixty-seven feet of
masonry set on the tower itself before
the base of its peaked roof is reached, and
this will all be marked by unusual fea-
lures, the plain surface being broken first
by the clock faces and the Gaping arches,
then by cornice of ornamental stone fol-
lowed as the tower goes upward by an open
story with three high-arched windows on
each side Above these windows comes
the final story Of the tower, containing
hve small-arched windows on each face
with peaked turrets at each corner of the
structure. The roof of the tower springs
lfcm the cornice Immediately above this
row OIL small windows, and from that point
II rises at sharp angle forty-five feet
TO peak 9OS feet above grade, max
ing IL twenty feet and seven inches
higher than the Capitol dome from
its own base line. The dome springs
PSI feet inches clear from the base of
the east front. but as it stands on hill
that is considerably more than twenty
feet higher than the level of Pennsylvania
avenue at nth street, the cap of the statue
OF Freedom will overtop the metal peak
that Is to surmount the sloping roof of
the post Office tower.
A Fine View.
Nevertheless, when this tower Is finished
II will afford a magnificent view of the en-
tire city and Its surrounding territory. The
highest possible point of observation will
be the level of the top row of windows,
28S feet from the grade line, far above the
surrounding structures.
Inc work on the tower has progressed at
q more rapid rate than on any other part
or the building. This Is because the con-
tractor Tor the superstructure has been

The Duty of Citizens,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I notice by the report in The Star that
Judge Cole, in charging the jury in the
oleomargarine case, told them that they
should not be Influenced by anything Mr..
Oyster had done-that a man had a right to
seek the protection Of the law and to as
sist in Its enforcement
1t strikes me that is putting 1t rather
mild. 1t Is not only the right, but 1t is the
duty of every honest and law-abiding citl-
zen to assist in enforcing the law Instead
OF being subject to criticism for what he
Old to bring dishonest defrauders of inno-
cent citizens to Justice, Mr.. Oyster Is en-
Titled to the thanks Of every honest citizen,
II more citizens would follow his example
there would be less fraud and rascality
practiced upon innocent people.
II there Is any act meaner or more de-
spicabie than that of selling oIeomarearine
for butter, or selling adulterated food or
medicine, don't know what it is
