AN ARCHITECTS VIEWS
ANENT THE PROJECT TO IMPROVE
THE CAPITAL.
Elective, If Sweeping, Suggestions ON
the BeautifyinE of the
City.

81 observe that Washington is to have a
commission to report upon plans to beautify
and improve what is already the finest city
in this country. and l think the idea an ex-
cellent one said II. B. Willis, New York
architect to a Star reporter at an uptown
hotel this morning
However it matters not how beautiful
woman may be, she is always open to
criticism, and this is the same with a city.
l would like to make a suggestion or two,
not. however. in the sense of disparagement,
but to see how near in accord they will
come to the ultimate report. If they can
not be met by reason of adverse legislation,
amend contrary acts or enact adequate
measures.
Il would prohibit the erection upon
Pennsylvania avenue Of any building under
sixty feet in height. This would make it
impossible for property owners to erect
single-story stores and thus deface what !s
one Of the finest streets in the world.
-. ! would require the removal within
two years from a fixed date of every foot
of brick sidewalk within the city limits.
EyesOres to Be Raced.
"3. I would condemn certain old buildings
which are well-known eyesores on the
ground that they are menace to the pub
lie health. including the half block Of frame
buildings at LIST and B streets, opposite the
Capitol grounds, and any other structure or
structures to be decided upon by properly
designated committee, with power of max
ing adequate award to the owners. The
health department has this power in my
city. and the wonders which have been
worked in wipng out eyesores and danger
Gus old buildings is such that a similar
power ought to be possessed by proper au-
thority in every city in the country.
~ The substitution within two years
from a fixed date of every square of cobble
stone or Belgian block pavement for as
phalt.
70 Absolute effacement or compelled I'M
provement within six months Of the tum-
bledown or otherwise unsightly wooden
buildings which mar the water front OF the
city and fixed plans of either public or
private improvement on all structures and
undertakings there in the future, to the end
that the water front would present d un.-
form appearance as to structures, such be-
ing the case in New York in recent years,
where the wharves and the buildings there
on are uniform and constructed according
to strictly enforced laws.
70. A subcommittee with unappealable au-
thority to tour and investigate the alleys OF
the city and determine upon what habita-
lions therein shall be razed, the condemned
buildings to be down within one year from Il
fixed date.

Senator Restored to Health
Peruna as a Nerve and Catarrh Tonic
the Talk of the World,

SIN these days of all kinds of medicine
it is a comfort to know of a remedy
which may be used with unquestioned
beneficial results. I gladly recommend
Peruna as n safe, reliable remedy in
cases of catarrh Of the stomach, helpful
in building up the system worn out with
overwork or age.
"Several of my friends who have used
Peruna have spoken of it in the highest
terms, and I congratulate you on its
merits"
Mrs. w. E. Grissom, Henry, Ellis Co,
Texas, writes:
81 took Peruna faithfully over two
months, and the result is a thoroughly
renovated system and n strong, buoyant
feeling, to say nothing of a cure of the
chronic catarrh. Therefore 1 shall avail
myself of every opportunity to speak of
Peruna as a catarrh cure"
Mr.. Harry NJ Stevens, Midland Beach,
l.. l., New York, proprietor of 'The
Richmond" Hotel, says of Peruna:
alt gives me pleasure to testify to the
value of Peruna. Ihave used it for years
and have found it to be a most excellent
family remedy. For colds, catarrh and
similar ills, it is unsurpassed" Cor
daily and gratefully,
II. NJ. Stevens.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Perunadoes Peruna Immediately
invigorates the nerve-centers which
give vitality to the mucous membranes.
Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh
is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Peruna is not n guess nor an ex-
periment-it is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
A free book written by DR..
Hartman, on the subject of ca.
farrh in its different phases and
stages, will be sent by The Peruna
Medicine Company, Columbus,
Ohio, upon request.

New York. Noe. 3O.-Thirteen color
ed women, whose ages range from So
to 10 years, are learning to read at the
night session of public school No. IA,
in Jersey City. Many the members
of this unique class were born or sold
into slavery, and those white-haired
women who have graduated from the
English primer are reading the history
of the civil war and their own eman-
cipation.

the teacher TO knock something into

Mrs. Adeline Legrand, the second
Oldest woman in the night school, is

now dead. Her only ambition was to
read the Bible and hymn-book. She
a read the former now, and her en-
thusiasm has led her to begin arithme-

Religious Press for MCKINLEY.

There was time, only few months
ago., when desperate efforts were made
by q few Incorporate and clamorous
temperance reformers to array the re-
ligious press against President McKin-
ley on account of the army canteen,"
the practical operation of which was
not generally we'll understood. Because
the President chose to follow the attor-
hey. generals legal Interpretation of a
law of Congress rather than their own,
these people planned a systematic cam
paign Of abuse and detraction against
him. His personal habits were misrep-
resented, and he was assailed on ac-
count of the liquor traffic in the Philip
pines, the facts in regard to which were
distorted and exaggerated The cam
paign was carried into some of the
great religious assemblies and conven-
tons of the year, and strenuous efforts
were made to induce the conductors of
the religious newspapers to join the
crusade. OF course, agitation led to
investigation, and the result Is, accord
ing to the Springfield Republican, that
the religious weekiies are a unit in sup
