But it is on account of their success.
full solution of the tenement problem
that the girls have attained greatest
recognition.
Instead of going to Paris, as some
architects have done, there to study
Stun and tenement life in all their sad
tragedy, Miss Cannon and her friend
were courageous enough to go and rent
an apartment in one of the most crowded
and miserable tenement houses on the
densely populated cast side. Here they
lived several months, seeing and study
ing tenement life for themselves in all
its worst conditions. The unhappy, I'M
healthy, miserable people around them
knew nothing of the young girls OF Of
their business among them, but they
must have wondered what brought those
gentle, refined women i'll their midst.
The day they left the tenement, after
mon .hs of close study and hard work,
they had VIGOROUSLY solved t. problem
of the long sought model tene" ent house
for the poor, where low ,ents could be
combined with all modern convenicnces.
The first of these new tenement houses
will be erected by the Silver Cross Cir
Gle Of Kings Daughters, who have al
ready raised SO, Geo for the purpose.
The girl architects have just had an
other great success. Their plans have
been selected by the United Clubs Build
ing company for the enormous building
which it is about to erect and from
which the company takes its name. The
competition to supply the designs for
this great structure was very great. Nc
Kim. Mead & White were among those
who furnished plans, but the ones which
proved most suitable and acceptable to
the company were those presented by
Miss Cannon and Miss Hands.
Three million dollars is to be ex-
pended, as the whole immense building
is to be superbly furnished and deco
rated, following the styles of different
epochs, after the design Of the girl archi-
tects.
The building will be located on Fifth
avenue, between Thirtieth and Fortieth
streets.
1t is to be IA stories high and will in
close everything needed for the comfort,
entertainment and needs of women.
The plan includes q bank, restaurant
and stores on the ground floor. A thea.
ter seating 5000 people will occupy part
of the first, second and third floors, the
rest of the space being given to club.
rooms, q banquet hail. club auditorium,
parlors and salon. The fourth. fifth and
sixth floors will be exclusively occupied
by women's clubs. There will be offices
On the seventh, eighth and ninth floors

little work done. Being young women,
he thought by giving the order to them

schedule price for the plans when COM
pleted was $500. The man refused to
pay more than $3.50. Rather than go
against their principle the girls refused
the price and tore up the plans, on
which they had spent considerable time.
Another of their business rules is
never to advance the fact that they are

JOHN GRIFFITH IN FAUST.

John Griffith, assited by an unexcened company, will present his elaborate pro- duction of Faust" on the Saturday matinee of his engagement in this city, which commences tomorrow night.
 The text of MT. Griffith's version of Goethe's majestic drama clngs closer to the great poets masterwork than that of any other version now extant, and MT. Griffith makes Mephisto spirit "who un- ceasingly denies.' He makes him an in- tellectual devil, whose business is to pre- sent all that is opposite to good. Grif- fith's Mephisto does not tempt Faust di- rectly and brutally but rather ensnares him by a strain of reasoning which the latter cannot answer, because they are but reflections of his own doubts and fears. Retaining Mephisto's cunning, his searching ridcule and savage cYnic- ism, he echoes all the reckless unbelief of the human race, their rebelliouS inn pulses their indulgences and negation of virtues, love and faith, always willing the bad, but always thereby working the good in spite of himself. The production will be magnifcently staged, both sceni- cally and electrically, particularly in the revels on the BroclSen. which is said to be the. finest scene of the kind staged.
 His opening, performance on (New Years Day) matinee and evening, will be grand revival of Shakespeare Rich- ard H., which he has added to his repertoire.
 The following letter from Mr. Robert Downing will be read with pleasure by Birming ham theater-goers, who are great admirers of Miss Eugenia Blair:

This dreaded disease is caused by Imperfect

they slowly eat into the vitals of the victim,

a knawing ulcer penetrates an artery, and
death from hemorrhage is the result. Do not
continue to suffer. You can be cured.
