Qualified Persons for Advanced

Proposal and It Is Briefly Discussed.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Carroll D..
Wright, commissioner of the depart
ment of labor, made the following
statement as to Mr.. Carnegie's endow-
ment of national university at Wash
ington:
"The general discussion which has
been carried on during the last rs
years in relation to the establishment
of national university at Washington
has eliminated in magnificent plan
and endowment by Andrew Carnegie.
For a number of years the university
idea held sway, but about two years
ago the matter was taken UP by the
Washington Academy of Sciences and
this body, in cooperation with the
George Washington Memorial associa-
ton, formulated definite plan which
differed radically from the university
plan contemplated in the earlier years.
This resulted last spring, as was then
published, in the organization of the
Washington Memorial Institution. The
plan was, in brief, as follows: /.
First. Organization-A private
foundation independent of government
support or control.
Second. Objects-(A). To facili-
tate the use of the scientific and other
resources of the government for re-
search OBJ. To cooperate with uni
versities, colleges and individuals in
securing the properly qualified per,
sons. and opportunities for advanced
study and research.
CDR. Daniel C. Gilman. ultimately
president of the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, was elected director of the in.
stitution. y
when Mr.. Carnegie came to con-
slider the question of endowing a ma
tional university at Washington he in.
vestigated the whole subject with his
usual thoroughness and found that an
institution devoted to research and the
training of capable persons was more
in accord with his conceptions than
the establishment of university that
would be a rival of the already exist.
ing universities of the country.
"How far he was led to this conclu.
sion by the work that had been done
by the institutions in Washington is
unknown, but his action indicates that
he had faith in the general plan that
had been developed and crystallized in
this city. ...... ~.-
cit is probable that the Washington
Memorial Institution will suspend its
operations, for it is understood that
Mr.. Carnegie's plan not only embraces
all the proposed activities Of the in
stitution, but goes far beyond these

WORK AT DIZZY HEIGHTS.
Cleaning windows on New york's High
Buildings Done by C,ntrsct.

Buildings Done by C,ntrsct
II would be impossible to calcu-
late the number OF windows In New
York, although in France. where there
is a window tax, the authorities keep
track of all these details, says the New
York Evening Post. The important
fact, from an industrial point Of view,
about these windows Is that they must
be cleaned, and consequently number
OF companies have been organized to
take the trouble OF cleaning them of
the hands of the owners. The men
who are sent out to do this work must
not only learn how to clean windows
but must also accustom themselves to
working at great height from the
ground. with an ever-present possibil-
ity OF falling. In most Office buildings,
particularly the new ones, a safety ap-
paratus is used TO protect these men.
This consists OF belt worn around the
waist, with loop at the back through
which a rope passes. This rope Is
provided with an iron hook at each end
which fits into fastening screwed on
S.eS o"oo'N' vi tht
arrangement allows the man to move
along the window sill freely, and yet
Is an absolute safeguard If he slips.
After the men have learned how to
clean window they are started in first
on the ground floor windows of shops;
then they try the windows of private
houses, and, finally, when they are
fully at home in their work, they are
sent to the high buildings. The new
men are generally sent out in gangs
OF four or five under competent fore
man, who sees that they take no un-
necessary risks. Occasionally 1t hap
pens that man finds he cannot stand
working at height, and he has to
give up the work altogether. Special
ladders are used in cleaning the big
plate glass windows In stores, ladders
with rubber padding on the ends Of
the uprights. 1t seems to the passer-
by as IL the pressure of these ladders
with mans weight on them would
be great enough to send them crashing
through a plate glass window, but
such an accident, said the head Of a
window cleaning company, has never
been known. A workman will clean
anywhere from five to twenty-five win
dows a day.

EMBASSY PROPERTY.
FOREIGN SOIL IN THE CITY OF

Several foreign governments. among
them France, are negotiating for the
purchase of embassy land in wash

II will be none of Uncle Sans business.
The quarters of the present Frencn
embassy are intimately associated with
the life of Washington. The mansion
was built just seventy-five years ago
by Richard Rush, statesman and dipio-
matist. The year before its founda-
tions began to rise Rush had been re-
called from the ministry to Great Brit
ain to be secretary of the treasury un-
der John Quincy Adams. In the 4Os
Rush vacated the house upon his ap-
pointment by President Polk as min
lister to France. Shortly afterward
Hamilton Fish, then in congress,
moved in and remained until retiring
from the senate in 1857. Fish added a
large ball room to the right Of the
house proper. The year Fish retired
Queen Victoria leased the house as her
American legation and Lord Napier,
arriving shortly after Buchanan's in
auguration, took possession as British
minister. There were no foreign am
bassadors here in those days. His
lordshiD was dashing young noble or
only 3S. He was accompanied by Lady
Napier, four children, a tutor, a gov
erness, a pompous butler coachman
and two maid servants. Her ladyship
was regarded at the time as the most
beautiful woman in Washington Dur
ing their three years in the Rush
house II was the scene of the most
brilliant functions given at the capital.
In this house King Edward of England
was entertained when Lord Lyons was
ambassador. In 1865 Lord Lyons was
succeeded by Sir Frederick Bruce, who
became a warm friend OF Charles Sum-
ner. He remained master of the Rush
house until he died Of diphtheria in
Boston, during Grants administration.
He was succeeded by Sir Edward
Thornton, who built the present Brit
ish embassy. Soon after Bruce's death
Admiral Porter. succeeding Farragut
as commanding officer of the navy,
purchased the stately old mansion and
there remained until his death. In
1894, when M. Jules Patenotre, former
French ambassador, married Miss FL
verson Of Philadelphia. France first
leased the property for an embassy.
When France acquires the land now
being negotiated for it will be the sew
enth patch OF foreign soil within the
bounds of Washington. Great Britain
was the first purchaser Of embassy
grounds and then followed Germany,
Japan. Mexico, Corea and Austria. The
fifteen other foreign governments
represented in Washington rent their
embassies or legations.

parts, says the Baltimore News. His
bride was with him, and both were shy
and clothed in garments that were so
painfully new they semed to crack
when either wearer moved an arm or
a foot. Not one word did the couple
say during the meal, and only the ele-
CANT prominence Of the little fingers
of both as they held their knives and
forks made their table manners con-
spicuous until the finger bowls were
brought on. Then the groom took up

GRAvITATE TO THE CITIES.
The Population In Germany IL Tending
Toward the Laego Towns.


The figures of the last census OF
Germany reveal some very significant
facts relative to the great industrial
and agricultural contest that is now
being waged in the empire The CEN
sus was taken on Dec. l, 1900. The
growth of the cities, the Industrial
centers, during the preceding five
years has been unprecedented In the
history Of the empire. or the thirty
three cities with population of over
100000. every one but Crefeld shows
a great increase. Among the cities
which show the largest increase Is
Berlin, which has added over POT 900.
or 1913 per cent, to the number Of her
inhabitants, making her present pop
ulation 1,S84.345, not including the su-
burban cities. Including her suburbs,
Berlin numbers 100000. The city
that has increased most rapidly IL
Nuremberg, which in five years has
added 93,357, or go per cent, in a total
population Of 260.743. This Is due
largely to the situation OF Nurember
at the point Of junction of many high
ways and Of seven railroads. The city
OF Posen has increased by 42.912 since
1895, largely by the influx OF farmers
and agricultural people from the coun-
try, more especially from Prussia.
Stettin now numbers 2O9, 1888 souls, an
increase In population OF 69,264. owing
to its position as the seaport of Ber-
lin. Hamburg has added 79,117, max
ing a population of 7O4 ,O89; Munich.
S7,5O2. making total of 498.503.
Liepsic has gained So, 1876 in a present
population Of 455.12O, Dresden. $500
in ,349. and Frankfort has in
creased 5s,534. making her popula-
tion 287,813.
