Probably one of the important struc-
tural changes in the interior of the house
will be the swinging of series of trUsses
on which to hang the partitions of the

beams of their present weight. The main
walls are in excellent condition as good
as when they were put up When the
clerks are moved out of the second story

else it is proposed to but up the present
space differently, SO as to make about six

radical changes in the general features
Of the house, external or internal, are

Much of the trim is too good to be
changed, and recalls wildly the fashion
CT the early days of the century when the
house was built Not a few of the man

them Indeed, so far as any alterations
are made in the artistic or decorative fea-
lures of the house, they will tend toward
restoring its original character. The effort
at "moderating' the fine old pile has been
uniformly in the direction of the steam

NEEDS OF THE NAVY
FEW OF OUR SHIPS HAVE ANY
REAL FIGHTING VALUE
Statements in the Report of the
House Committee on Naval APP
preparation That Have Little
Tendency to Cater to National
Pride-New Ships Provided For.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2S.-The
naval programme for 1903 as presented in
the naval appropriation bill and accom-
panying report filed today by Chairman
Foss, of the house naval committee is
one of unusual interest Mr.. Foss points
out that comparatively few of our ships
have any real fighting value. He accom-
panies this with a statement of the
enormous naval armament and pro-
grammes of other countries, particularly
Germany. 1t is shown that the total
number of vessels of our navy, built and
building, is Sl3 and the total cost will be
S235 0S2, 209 The report adds:
While we have built and are building
all told, 13S ships, yet comparatively few
of them have any real fighting value
Our naval prowes5 lies almost entirely in
our IS battleships, 8 armored cruis-
ers and q protected cruisers. The rest Of
our ships would cut but little figure in
actual war. Ships of the battle line prac-
tically alone determine the naval strength
of a nation
Concerning new ships for our navy the
report says: The committee recommends
that for the purpose of further increase
ing the naval establishment of the United
States the president have constructed two
tirst-class battleshps carrying the heav-
lest armor and most powerful ordnance
displacement of about 5000 tons, and to
have the highest practicable speed and
great radius of action and to cost, ex-
elusive of armor and armament, not ex-
ceeding $4,212000 each; two first-class
armored cruisers of about 1900 tons trial
displacement to cost, exclusive of mfr
and armament, not exceeding $4,659,OUO
each, and two gunboats of about 200 tons
trial displacement.
In view of the fact that there is some
public sentiment favorable to building
ships in our government navy yards, it
has been deemed advisable by the COM
mittee to insert a provision in the appro-
priation bill of this year leaving it in the
discretion of the secretary of the navy
to build any or all ships in government
yards, but making it mandatory on him
to construct at least one battleship or
one armored cruiser in such navy yard
as he may designate. as an experiment.;
and it is further provided that he shall
keep an accurate account Of all eXpendi-
lures for labor and material in the in
spection and construction of such ship
and report to congress at each session,
and upon the completion of said ship he
shall make detailed report showing the
relative cost of one built by the govern
ment and one by contract
Other features of the bill are provisions
for a board of naval officers to recon-
mend site for naval training station
at some point on the Great Lakes; and
increase of the enlisted force of the navy
by 1900 men; provisions for a new navy
ration as reported by naval board; an
increase of the number of cadets at the
naval academy by 500. The bill carries
s77, 659, 1856, which is slightly below the ap-
preparation made last year.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Is the Only Medicine That Can
Promptly and Permanently
Danish All Wasting and
Dangerous Diseases
1t Restores Lost Health When
Physicians Pronounce Your
Case Incurabie.

old-act with promptness, wisdom and
decision, suffering, agony and misery
would never be carried into the summer
months.
To delay the work Of banishing disease.
regulating the nerves, purifying the blood,
and restoring perfect digestion is a SER
ious mistake.
When the blood is sluggish, impure and
poisoned, when the nervous system is I'M
balanced. when digestion is deranged,
and the appetite poor and variable, be
assured your condition is critical. and
calls for instant attention before the sum-
mer months bring additional dangers
At this time the use of Paine's Celery
Compound will do a marvellous work for
every run down, sick and diseased man
and woman.
Its life giving work first commences
with the blood, which is made clean and
pure; then the nerves are quickly set in
order, digestive vigor is fully restored,
the appetite is made natural, sleep is re-
freshing, and the responding heart is
made light and joyous
1t is well to bear in mind that Paine's
Celery Compound owes its origin to the
most distinguished physician that this
American continent ever produced, and
his marvellous prescription is publicly in
dorsed by our best and ablest physicians
If all sufferers who have been disap-
pointed in the past will promptly start
with Paine's Celery Compound, they will
be astonished and delighted with the
speed with which this wonderful remedy
is able to call halt to wasting and
dangerous diseases. 1t is now making
tens of thousands well and strong, and
fitting them to enjoy the summer months
which, to the well and strong are
pleasurable and happy.

TWO RIVAL KINDS OF
POSTAL CURRENCY
superintendent of Money Order Sys-
tenn Thinks His Plan Superior
to That of Mr.. Post.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-The
committee of postal and treasury experts
investigating the question of establishing
a postal currency met today, but ad-
journed without action. c. w. Post, the
author of the Post currency bill, ex-
planned the measure and urged that the
people needed some means fer the i'm
mediate renting of postal currency and
said any plan that calls for going to the
postoffice to send or receive such cur
rency was impracticable. Fer this rea-
son, he contended, that the pending plan,
which has been Endorsed. by the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers association,
should supplant the money order or pos
tai notes.
Supt. Metcalf, of the money order sys-
tenn. objected to the form of the plan.
