THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.
Twenty-Four Architects Have Sub
mitted Designs for the Edifce.

Competitive designs for the proposed
Washington Public Library, to be erected
in Mount Vernon Square with money given
by Andrew Carnegie, were opened at the
District Building yesterday at a meeting of
the library commission. No action was
taken, owing to the absence OF District
Commissioner Ross, who is out of the city.
Commissioner Ross is president Of the
library commission and was expected to
return before noon yesterday He failed to
do so and the other four members of the
commission, Captain Beach, Col. Theodore
a. Bingham, Theodore W. Noyes, and Com
missioner Wight, decided TO defer all ac-
tion until Monday.
Messrs. Post and Van Brundt, the Pres
ident and former President of the Ameri-
can Society OF Architects, who have been
chosen by the competing architects to rep
resent them in the matter of making Sc
lection, will arrive in Washington on that
day and ii is anticipated that a final ad-
judgment Will then be made.
Twenty-four designs have been submit
ted. Ten were from the ten architects
who were invited by the library commits
sion to prepare plans and the other designs
came from outside architects. The ten
competing architects are Alden & Harlow,
Henry Ives Cobb, Hartwell, Richardson &
Driver, Hornblower & Marshall, Marsh &
| Peter, Fred ID. Owen, Appleton p. Clark,
jr., W. NJ. Poindexter, G. K. Thompson,
and Wyatt & Noting.
The law provides that the successful
architect or firm of architects shall re-
ceive, as full compensation for his draw
ings, designs, and personal services, per
cent, OF the total cost Of the building
about $3.50, 600 Probably $4,000 will be
spent in furnishing the Library. The
architect who is successful will be ex-
| pected to assist in the selection of the
! furniture. The Superintendent of Con-
struction. Bernard r. Green, of the Con-
/ gressional Library, will attend to all bust
/ ness in connection with superintendent
contracting, and payments.
The unsuccessful among the ten COM
peting architects will each receive the
sum OF $3.50. The judgesswill consider al
OF the twenty-four plans, but the outside
architects will receive no compensation
| All drawings will be returned to theil
authors after the final selection has beer
made. The architect or firm of architect:
whose design shall be ahtudged the bes
will be required to hold himself in readi-
ness to restudy and modify his plan IL

QUESTION OF PARAsITIsM.
Prof. Kirk Does Not Agree with DR..
Tabor johnson.

Although the views of DR.. Romaine j.
Curtiss and his critic, DR.. Joseph Tabor
johnson, presented in a recent issue of
The Times" said Prof. Hyland C. Kirk
to a Times reporter yesterday, "as to the
possible duraticnsof life, appear to be wide
asunder, they y1do agree in the
opinion that parasftism is the cause OF
death. That medical men, with their at
tention customarily directed toward the
morbid phases of life, who are SO con-
stantly on the alert to detect bacteria in
every form of illness. should hold this
opinion, is to be expected-but, is 1t true?
Admitting the vast and pernicious in
fiuence of bacteria. that many diseases are
propagated by them, and that their de-
struction in most cases of attack affords
a new lease of life TO the sufferer, yet are
bacteria the cause of death in the most
comprehensive sense?
When a man swallows poison which
eats through an important membrane, he
does not have to wait for microbes 10 at
tack the part in order that death may
follow-he dies at once. 1t is the break
in the mechanism, obviously, which causes
death in such cases. and it is break some
where in the organism which appears to
be the cause in every case, whether that
break is due TO the action of an acid, the
work of bacteria, mechanical injury, the
reaction of grief or joy, or the gradual
weakening of parts in senility.
Our medical brethren have done great
things in recent years through the study
and culture of germs and in the discovery
of new types as related to disease and
modes of treatment, but If they could de-
stroy every example of virulent bacillus
it would be but a negative work toward
ensuring length of days to man, the pos
itive work in that direction being neces-
sarily the improvement of the human Or
ganism That human life is susceptible OF
being indefinitely prolonged is favorite
theory of mine and has been advocated by
me in several published works, but that
this can be accomplished by killing OF
the germs of disease merely-could such
stupendous undertaking be practically real
ized-seems doubtful.
Healthy organisms breathe in with
more or less constancy various kinds of
disease producing bacteria with apparent
impunity, and it is not impossible that the
body should be so improved as TO with
stand every form of attack of this death
dealing, microscopic monster. In any
event, a more complete and exact knowl-
edge of the human organism and how its
various factors may be controlled to its
upbuilding and better adjustment to ex-
ternal forces would seem to be the first
step in the direction of improving and pro-
longing human life"

THE START DELAYED.
The District Artillery Not TO March
Until saturday.

Members of Light Battery A of the Dis
trict National Guard were busy in their
quarters in the armory last night
making preparations for the six days en-
campment which is to be held this year
in the vicinity of Snickersyille, Va, about
sixty miles distant from Washington. The
entire trip will take ten days. of which
four days will be occupied by the march.
The battery will leave Washington Sat
urday by way of the Conduit road, which
will be kept until a short distance above
Great Falls, when the river will be
crossed and the remainder OF the march
continued through Leesburg On the re-
turn the Alexandria and Leesburg turn
pike will be the route the entire dis
tance. While no written orders have been
received at the battery's headquarters, 1t
is understood that they will be received
this afternoon and that the start will be
made early Saturday morning. II was
originally intended that the artillerymen
should take their outing last Tuesday, but
the gun carriages were being repaired and
were not ready. The battery will be I'M
der the command Of Second Lieut.. J. i.
Waters, and about forty men will go TO
the encampment.
The Guard lost one of its Oldest and
most popular members last night by the
resignation OF Major Graham, captain OF

develop until the end of the year. 1t did
not tell upon the returns for the year 1898.
AS was expected, the increase in the pro-
duction of copper was largest in Arizona,
while the Lake district also recorded an
advance. Montana fell off considerably.
Intense activity has developed in the
search for new copper mines. and large
number of new undertakings have started.
But the preparations for output on even
a moderate scale in the way OF opening up
mining property and providing a reduc
ton plant are so large and require so much
time that few OF the newcomers will add
materially to the copper market OF 1899.
What increase there will be will come from
the older mines, and that chiefly from
Arizona, the lake, California, and Utah.

DR.. -KiLMER'S SWAMP ROOT
is No! Recommsuisi for Everything.
hut If You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble IL VIII BE Found just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or
diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for a child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, if the urine scalds
the flesh. or if, when the child reaches an
age when il should be able to control the
passage. and it is yet afflicted with bed
wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be toward the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to habit
as most people suppose.
So we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t is sold
by druggists in ffty-cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a sample bottle by
mail free also pamphlet telling all about

testimonial letters received from sufferers

NAL session at the Pension Office yester

II will make its recommendations to the
national encampment of the order which
will meet next at Philadelphia
II has been asserted that the committee

members of the committee, who assert
that they are In Washington because they
are required by the nature OF their duties
as members of the pension committee 10
make at least one visit to the Pension
Bureau annually. Much criticism has re-
Gently appeared in the newspapers against

investigate him. This statement is also
denied as false, and the assertion made
that the present inquiry is being con-
Quoted independently of what may or may
not have been said regarding Colonel
Evans.
Much of the time of the committee was
spent yesterday going over the rulings OF
the bureau The committee returned 10

lished at the Ebbitt House. and held a
night session until about II o'clock. The

COTTON EXPECTATIONS.
Belief That Texas Losses Will No
Prevent u Large Crop.

tReceived daily by Z. A. Bowers K Co., brokers,
Washington Loan and Trust Building, CORE
spondents Ware & Leland, Chicago; Purnell, Hag-
aman * Co, New York;
New York. July 12.-Although definite in
formation from Texas is still lacking.
enough is known TO convince many that
the loss of cotton has been greatly exag-
gerated. The belief has been gaining
ground since the appearance Of the weekly
Government report. In addition TO this
fact, many accounts reflect the probability
OF cotton being replanted where lost. On
the whole, those who have been calculating
on big boom in the market based on the
Texas situation are keenly disappointed.
Later developments may change the gen.
eral aspect, which is considered quite
bright for big crop, but prevailing senti-
ment favors a lower market for the pres
ent. Prices changed little today advances
of one to three points being made from the
low prices of yesterday.

FIFTY DOLLARS A DAY.
The Penalty for Not Operating New
York Avenue Line.

Since June q last a penalty of $50 a day
has been piling up against the City and
Suburban Railway Company. This money
goes to the District government. This is the
result of failure on the part of the rail-
way company to operate electric cars on
that portion of the New York Avenue line
lying between the Boundary and the Penn
sylvania Railroad station, at Sixth and B
Streets northwest.
The law provides that the company
should complete the road within a year.
Failure TO do that imposes a penalty of
$50 every day that elapses after the ex-
piration of the twelve months. The time
limit expired sixteen days ago, and the
company. according to the law, is now
indebted to the municipality in the sum
of $500
1t is not probable that this delay will
last much longer. The delay has been
on account of the rush in the iron end
steel mills.
