Nearing Completion.
Description of the Structure and of
Its Proposed Observation-Disclosures
other Building fContempIated.

The work OF constructing the new George
town University HOSPITAL, at 35th and N
streets, is being rapidly pushed, and the
building is now practically under roof.
Only one of the buildings proposed is being
built, the funds on hand not being large
enough to commence the construction of
the other, as at present contemplated. The
one now going up is four stories in height.
with basement. The architect Is Mr..
Keferstein. Mr.. ]. B. Collins is the builder,
while Messrs. Lynch and Columbus are do
ing the brick work.
The building, which is the main one of
the hospital, has press brick front. which.
with the added trimmings, presents a pref
ty architectural appearance. One thing to
which especial attention has been given Is
the arrangement for light. Windows are
placed so as to give plenty OF sunlight at
all hours Of the day, and at the same time
afford good ventilation. Above the third
floor, carved in the bricks, is the name OF
the institution, Georgetown University
Hospital" The only front projection Is an
oriel window from the third floor. while in
the rear circular bay window runs from
the ground to the top story. On the west
side SUFFICIENT space has been allowed to
permit an ambulance. to drive up to the
door for delivery Of sick or injured perso,
to the institution.
Hall in the Center.
There is a large hall in the center of tn :,
building, on every floor, which affords cas- :,
communication with all of the wards. A !.
elevator is placed near the center Of tn :
building. while to the east of 1t the stair !
are located. Il
On the first floor the large north mai
room will be used as lecture room. Ad 4
joining this on the east Is the emergency!
room. There are several other smalle4
rooms which will be used by the attendantl
of the place. The south central room willy
be used as reception room. (
Floor for Hospital Purposes.
The second fiooE will be used entirely fol;
hospital purposes. The main north ROOM
will be divided by partitions and contairs
three private wards. On either side are
small rooms, we'll lighted. which will also,
be used as wards. as will also the SOUTH
central room, making in all five wards on:
this floor. pantry will also be located
in the hallway.
The main room on the third floor will be
Used as an operating room. To the east
the small room will be used by the physi-
clans, while on the west is what Is termed
the recovery room. One ward will be To-
Gated in the large hallway, and the south
central room, with the circular bay win
dow, will be used as a chapel.
The fourth floor contains four rooms,
which will be. used by the attendants of
the hospital.
Every floor is we'll supplied with closets
and baths. Work on the interior of the
building will be commenced at an early
day and pushed forward as rapidly as the
funds on hand Will permit.

BALL0TSrSTOLEN.


Some One Treading Dangerous
Ground in Montgomery County.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md,sNovember II, 1897.
Saturday night last some one entered the
room of the supervisors Of election at this
place, evidently with the intention of tam
tering with the ballots cast at Tuesdays
election. A thorough search had been made
of the room, evidently to secure the keys
to the ballot boxes, but the clerk to the
supervisors had taken the precaution to
place them where they would fall into the
hands of none 9but the right oparties.
The supervisors had met Saturday to
transact some business, which had been
carried over since Thursday, and while they
we're in session someone stole the key to
the door, which was not discovered until
they had adjourned and the clerk was clos
ing up. Thinking there was something
crooked, another key was procured and the
door locked. The keyhole was sealed and
piece of paper sealed to the door and the
jamb. 1t was discovered Monday morning
that both seals had been broken and some
one had been in the room. The box con-
trict and the box containing the ballots of
the first precinct Of Rockville district were
taken, and have not yet been recovered.
This occurrence has created considerable
excitement in the community, and 1t Is I'M
derstood large reward will be offered for
the apprehension Of the thief. The ballots
were In charge of the clerk of the court
having been turned over to that official by
the board Of supervisors, as the law directs.
The theft can have no effect on the cleo
ton, as the vote had been canyassed and
certified to the proper officials.

its and back again, thus giving the desired
rapid transit connection between the busi-
ness section Of the city and that flourish
ing suburb.
The Capitol Hill Grade.
There is another matter which 1t is
likely will be brought to the attention Of
Congress in connection with the installa-
ton of the new system on the Capital
Traction lines. 1t is claimed that there are
certain mechanical difficulties about as
cerding Capitol Hill along B street south,
which is the present line Of the road, and
it is asserted that Congress may be asked
to give the company authority to change
its present line. SO that instead Of ascend
ing Capitol Hill to the south of the Capitol,
the cars operated by the proposed new
system will turn to the north at the Peace
monument. as is done with the 14th street
line at present, and following that line to
the Baltimore and Ohio station, thence by
the Metropolitan tracks around Capitol
Park and in front Of the new Library build
ing, rejoining at that point its present Iine
by which the cars will continue east to the
navy yard.
1t is, of course, not known positively that
it is the intention Of the company to ask
Congress for permission to make such a
change, but it is asserted in weli-1nformed
circles that it is likely such a proposition
will be made.
The COIumbia's Trolley Road.
It is probable that the Columbia road, in
the heat of the contest to secure authority
for the proposed western extension, will
overlook what is perhaps regarded as Of
more value to the company, and that Is
the right to build an overhead trolley line
from the eastern terminus of the road at
18th and H streets northeast along Benning
road to the village of Benning.
AS has already been stated in The Star.
active work is in progress by q syndicate
composed mainly of western capitalists in
constructing steam road from point on
the Chesapeake bay, about twenty-five
miles south of Bay Ridge, to the District
line. 1t is the purpose Of this syndicate to
ask Congress for the right to continue this
road through the District to point in the
vicinity of Benning or Deanewood. If such
authority is given. and the Columbia road
secures permission to build its extension,
then these two roads will be operated in
conjunction. SO that it is believed by the
promoters of this enterprise that passen-
gers can be taken from the heart of the
city to the Chesapeake bay in an hours
time.
In the attempt made above to outline
what the street railroads of the city intend
to ask from Congress at the coming session
in the way of extensions, no reference has
been made, fer obvious reasons, to either
the Belt or lexington railroad. Neither
have the various suburban roads been al
luded to, but 1t is not believed that any
changes of importance are contemplated in
the near future by the companies operating
these lines. As will be noted, this sketch
of the plans of the street railroads mas
been confined to what may be termed the
three principal street railroads of the city
the Capital Traction, the Metropolitan and
the Columbia.

A Fruitful Crop of stamp Companie

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
AS a merchant 1 have followed the Trad
ing Stamp Company fight with considerable
interest, and most heartily indorse and
commend The Star for the action it has
taken in the premises. and beg to say that
your paper deserves the earnest co-opera-
ton of not only every merchant, business
and professional man who pretends to
have the commercial interest of the city
at heart, but also all good citizens. Agents
Of the Home Coupon Company of Newark
N j., are now securing the city, in op-
position to the Premium Stamp Company
the Washington Trading Stamp Company
the Losano Syndicate Cooperative Stamp
Company. the National Trading Stamp
Company and a few others yet embryo
such soft mark that some forty or fifty
stamp companies would soon be doing a
lucrative business at the expense of their
extensive 90 profits.
One of these companies admits that less
than % per cent Of the stamps given out
are ever redeemed. and that therefore, over
81 per cent of he stamps paid for by mer-
chants are clear profit to the conpary
The only conclusion to be drawn from this
Is that there would soon be more starnp
companies than stores. and no local es-
ta5ilshment would then have any adyaut-
age over another, while the merchants
than they were before. 1t seems stran ye
TO me that any merchant should be 30
short-sighted and blind TO the busine IS
interests of the city as to uphold any of
these companies for one moment

REV DR. STAFFORDS LECTURE
Next Sunday night Rev. DR.. D. j. Stafford
will deliver a lecture for the benefit of the
Carroll Institute at the Columbia Theater.
His subject will be 1.-THE Moral Lesson OF
Macbeth" and from Dr. Stafford's we'll
known ability as a lecturer 1t may be as
sumed that his treatment will be highly
interesting. DIR. Stafford is an exceedingly
eloquent pulpit orator and is equally eff
fective the lecture platform. He has
been a deep Shakespearean student and
will undoubtedly present original IDEAS in
regard to the great tragedy of which he
will speak. DR.. Stafford has great dra-
matte power, which adds to the interest
of his lecture. and this accomplishment
will find ample scope in his treatment of
Macbeth
THE TELEPHONE GIRL" THE Tele-
phone Girl" which is described as a very
frothy comedy with musical environments,
is going to have its first production upon
any stage at the Columbia Theater Mon
day. November %. THE Telephone Girl
is another one of Mr.. Rice's ventures, and
that its presentation will be of a most
elaborate character is foregone conclu-
sion. The principal people who will be seen
in 1.-The Telephone Girl are Louis Mann
and Clara Lipman, who are now rehearsing
with that organization in New York. Mr..
Mann will possibly be remembered as the
creator of the funny German innkeeper in
the "Glrl from ParlS, and the originator
of that very fetching line, "It is to laugh"
while Clara Lipmans portrayal of Julie
Ben Bon in the same play during its run
in New York stamped her as the chicest
thing seen on Broadway in many a day.
THE ROYAL BOX."-"The Royal Box"
the play with the unique title by Charles
Coghlan, which will receive it's first presen-
tation any stage at the Columbia Thea
ter in Washington the 22d inst. and in which
Mr.. Coghlan himself will appear in the
principal role will be presented by a large
company of unusual strength, which will
include Miss Gertrude Coghlan, the daugh-
ter of the actor-author; Mrs. Louise Thorn
dyke BouCicault; Miss Grace Filkins, the
beautiful actress who was lately married
to Captain Mark of the United States
navy; Miss Lulu Klein, E. j. Ratcliff AL
bert Brunfng, Charles Stanley, Walter
Craven, Taylor Granville Charles Plunkett,
Claude Brooke, Frank Sheridan, Guy Mich
OILS, James Morton, jr., and several other
artists of prominence. The feature of the
piece which gives 1t it's title is novel
dramatic incident which Mr.. Coghlan re-
fuses to reveal in advance of it's first pre-
sentation. Mr.. Coghlan plays the part of
an actor of great prominence at the time
