OPEN BUILDING SEASON
There Is Every Indication of Big

FEAR OF LABOR TROUBLES

The open season for building has be-
gun and there is every indication of big
game. A number of small buildings
have been started, mostly dwellings, in
the southern part of the city. Much is,
however in contemplation, and when
the ground gets thawed a little deeper
the dirt will be flying fast enough.
The biggest permit yet taken out was
taken by 3, Gallick last week for a
splendid dwelling to be erected at the
corner of Washington and Porphyry
streets and to cost S., 000 The eXcava-
ton of the cellar was started, but it
has been stopped and it is announced
that Mr.. Gallick has concluded not to
build after all. This is unfortunate.
happening as it does just at the begin
ming of the building season, and it is
said that some other investors are wait
ing to see what the outcome will be be-
fore they start work. 1t will be remem-
bered that a year ago Miles Finlen
started in to build a three-s story add
ton to the McDermott hotel After
the cellar had been partially eXcavated
there was objection raised by one of the
unions to his contractor. Mr. Finlen
feared that if he proceeded. further his
building might be left unfinished by
some union trouble. Accordingly, he
abandoned the hotel project and invest
ed his money elsewhere.
Just what the trouble is in regard to
the Gallick building it not certainly
known. 1t is said, however. that Nj.
Gallick had let the contract for plumb
ing to a firm not satisfactory to the
master plumbers and that he had let
the contract for plastering to a firm 10
which objection was made. Mr.. Galick
found that letting these contracts to
other parties the house would cost him
more than he had laid aside for the pllT-
pose. So he decided to stop before get
ting in any deeper.
A business block decided on by Pat
rick Tallant and others was to be erect
ed on the south side of East Park street
next to the Driscoll building on a site
now occupied by a number Of frame
shacks. This building is planned for
three stories and to cost $4,000. Since

SMOKING ANTlDATEO TOBACCO.
Evidence That Herbs We're Smoked in
Raleigh's Time.

From the London Evening Standard.
There is some reason to think that peo-
pie smoked before tobacco was introduced
In several old books of housewifery GER
tain herbs named are to be "smoaked"
which means, perhaps. inhaling, as we
should say; but the other sgnificat ton is
by no means impossible. A vast number
of clay pipes have been found under con-
dltions which seem TO prove that they
were deposited long before Raleigh s
birth, and a pipe of early date is SO utter
~ unlike the modern form that these
could not have been dropped by laborers
of the present day. At an ANTIQUARIAN
meeting many years ago an old gentleman
told how his grandfather used to give
him coppers for wadng into the pool dam
a. stle-underLyme to ga her
''buckbane." which the veteran smoked to
relieve asthma. That "Reminiscences carries
probable that huck-bane had been used
for asthma time out of mind"
If people were already familiar with the
practice of smoking herbs we should have
an explanation of the astonishing rapidity
with which they took to tobacco. 1t may
be noted that Cartier found the Indians of
Hochelaga, on the St. Lawrence, smok-
ing an herb which We recognize from his
description as lobelia. as we'll as tobacco
His sailors did not care for the latter.
but the former met with their approval
from the first for it was "as good as
drink to them. The mericine men smoked
lobelia before prophesying and under it's
effect they raved. Has this property of
the weed been tested by the savants?

Everything in Condition.
BEHAVED CALAMITY,
Raw Recruits Who Fought the Pill
layers Praised.

The annual report of Brig. Gen. James
F. Wade, commanding the department of
Dakota, made public by the War De-
partment today. Like most of the depart
mental reports submitted this year, the
document Is largely devoid of general in
terest, owing to the small number of troops
remaining on home duty. Gen. Wade says
that of the three posts and one camp oc-
cupied all are in very fair condition, with
the exception of Fort Meade, S. D., which
from long occupation, without timely re-
pairs, is in a very insanitary condition
and has reached point where it is a
question of reconstruction or abandonment
great deal of extra duty has been thrown
the officers of the department owing
to the small number left on domestic serv-
ice. But these have cheerfully done much
more than is usually required of them and
have given every assistance in getting
along with the means at hand
Gen. Wade refers briefly TO the Indian
troubles at Leech lake last September and
October. He gives a short account of the
fight with the Pilager band of Indians on
Bear Island, where Capt Wilkinson and
six men were killed, and says that, IN
spite of the fact that the detachment en-
gagged in this fight was made up of raw
recruits, they behaved with commend
able gallantry and reflected credit upon the
gallant regiment, the Sd Infantry, to which
they belonged. He says that as a conse-
quence of this trouble with these Indians

tions which led up to the outbreak.

President and Mrs. Mckinley and Their
Party Returned Today.
Crowds Greet Them at the Stntion and
the White House
Grounds.

President and Mrs. Mckinley and the
members of the cabinet who accompanied
them returned to Washington at 12:25
o'clock this afternoon. The train de-
layed a short time in Baltimore or would
have reached here at 80 O'Clock. Secre-
tary Root, Gen. Corbin, Secretary Porter
and Marshal Aulick Palmer of the District
met the party at the depot. A crowd was
in waiting. and when the President and
his wife allgnted from the train, which was
sde-tracked on 9Th street, south of the
depot, cheered Justify.
A Cordial Reception.
President and Mrs. Mckinley were driven
at once to the White House, where an
other crowd was waiting in the grounds
and received them cordially. The chief
executive stood the trip splendidly, and
Mrs. Mckinley looked better than in
months. The President said that she was
in better health than when she left. DR..
Rixey was pleased with the manner in
which Mrs. Mckinley had stood the trip
Both the President and his wife enjoyed
the trip which is the longest of the kind
they have yet taken. They have travelled
over 5000 miles, and the President has ad-
dressed several million people. The Penn
sylvanta road has cared for the party in
sumptuous and uneXcelled manner.
President Mckinley did not go to his Of
flee until after lunch. During the remain
der Of the week he will see only those Wis
itors having imperative business.
Everything in Condition
President and Mrs. Mckinley found
everything in splendid condition. During
each of their absences this year Colonel
Bingham, superintendent of public build
ings and grounds, seized the opportunity
to make much-desired changes in the pri-
vate apartments of the White House. His
whole aim has been the comfort of the oc-
cupants of the mansion, and whatever
would conduce to that comfort has been
introduced. The expense account allowed
by appropriation for the White House has
been judiCiously and wisely expended in
items of a permanent nature, such as will
be appreciated by present and future occu-
pants of the Executive Mansion.
