Character of the Building

Character of the Building.
With the ground upon which it stands
the new gallery has cost in round numbers
sTG0.n10. 1t is located al the corner OF 18th
street and New York avenue. facing the
handsome reservation or park. which eX-
tends from that street to The Capitol
grounds. The main front is on 18th street
and presents magnificent spectacle TO any
ore standing in the nall. 1t is a noble and
majestic pile. cf white marble. The archi-
lecture is OF the NeO-Grec!an style. and the
lines are simple and chaste almost to the
point of severity. There is nothing bare or
chilling in the general aspect. yet the dis
cerIinS eye can see at glance that it was
designed for the display cf pictures and
statUary. and that it was planned mainly
with view to satisfactory interior.
The severity of the building is happily
broken by the curves OF the north cCd,
which is intended for the use of the Cor
coran School of Art, which contains the
lecture hall or hemicycle. There are two
entrances to the gallery. the main one on
1Ith street and another only less impos-
ing. on New York avenue. The latter is
the entrance to the portion of the building
which will be given up to the Use of the art
students, and the plans were so drawn
that the two portions of the gallery can
be kept entirely separate and distinct. This
will be particularly convenient arrange
Tcent. for much of the work of the art
school is done in the evening, when the
gallery proper would be closed.
The Old Gallery.
The old gallery at the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue has long
been one OF the landmarks of the city, but
for some years past the trustees have real
ized that it must be abandoned, owing TO
its limited accoinmodat The building
itself did not lend itself we'll to additions.
and. even if it had, the trustees were un
able to secure sufficient ground iTnnc-
di.Iely adjoining it. TIE generous sum
with which Mr. CoTcoran endowed the gal
!eTy yields large annual income. which
means steady accretions to the collection,
and il evident that in putting up
new building the trustees must plan for
future generations, as well as for this. In
fixing upou the present site they were able
to secure all the land that was necessary,
and the building as it stands today. large
il is, covers not more than half tho
ground the gallery owns. Moreover. in de-
signing the present building allowance was
made for future growth SO that when it is
utSrown, which is not likely TO happen for
very many years to come, additions can be
made In harmony with the original plans.
For more than twenty years the old gall
lery had been open to the public but about
a month ago the doors were closed, and the
work OF removing the valuable paintings
and statUary TO the new building was be-
gun. IL was a big undertaking, but Hnder

combustible material of any kind employed
in Its construction as in any other building
in Washington. The interior finish is large

wooden floors of the second story and the
sliding doors constitute about the only
combustible material in the building. The
spaces between the floors and ceilings are

fine network of strong. galvanized wires

Life IN Old Mexico.

Mr.. Harry Dozier, who returned
from an extended tour of Mexico last
Saturday, furnishes the 'local hustler"
the following facts of how the people
live i'm the land of the Astees:
You clap your hands to stop the
street ear or to call waiter.
Men arrested for drunkenness are
compelled to sweep the streets.
You can hire the finest cab on the
street for two silver dollars an hour.
II is quite the proper thing to take
a little nap after the midday meal.
Church bells are rung as fast and
sharp as fire bells in the United States.
The largest business houses are
closed for an hour and half in the
middle Of the day.
Turkeys are driven to market
through the main streets of the cities,
just like sheep.
Even the poems wife has a piece of
drawn work to cover her husbands
dinner basket.
Nobody chews tobacco, but nearly
everybody smokes cigarettes, includ-
ing most of the women of the lower
classes.
One of the favorite sweets for chill
dren is sugar cane. 1t is sold in pieces
about eighteen inches long for one
centavO each.
The weather is rot a subject of COM
ment unless IL is bad. 1t is as Il rule
40 fine that IL furnishes no variety of
conversation.
The hiss is used almost as universal
ly rs among the French, not only TO
attract some ones attention but to
denote approval.
The street ear mule makes better
time than in any other country in the
world. About half of the time they
are kept an full gallop.
Everybody shakes hands both at
meeting and parting, even though the
visit may be on the street corner and
lasts only two minutes.
