Regarding Quarantine.

The District Commissioners have received
| from Mrs A. A. Callahan Of 1881 E street
northwest a letter in which she complains
| of the damage done to her business as a
restaurant and boarding housekeeper by
| the quarantine placed upon her premises
| by the health department. Mrs. Callahan
says a child was taken from the rear part
of the house suffering with smallpox. She
declares the child and its parents lived in
separate apartments and did not come in
contact with the boarders. She also COM
plains that she lost a good many supplies
that were on hand at the time the quaran-
tine was established and which were de-
stroyed. She says the sixteen days the
house was in quarantine scattered her
boarders and ruined her business.
The Commissioners referred the complaint
to the health department and DR.. W. Z.
Woodward, the health officer. has submit
ted a report, in which be- says:

considerable sum had already been sub
scribed for that object, a great share of 1t
by persons from Ohio.
When the President died. however, the
Ohioans interested in the university de-
cided to have the whole college of gov
ernment a memorial to the martyred
President and set about raising the ad-
dtional money necessary for the pur-
pose.
Big Fund Raised.
The sum of 100000 was raised and plans
for the structure were Immediately made,
the work of laying the foundations of the
building being commenced last winter. The
American University was one of the first
! in the field to lay plans to perpetuate the
memory of President Mckinley.
The Ohio College of Government will
cover five professorships: Diplomacy in
ternational law and arbitration, constitu-
tlonal law, municipal government and
clVlcS, ana Will be one of the most i'm
portant of the buildings in the American
University plan. When completed this will
be the second of the series of buildings
contemplated by the institution, and a
third Is being provided for, and it is hoped
Will be constructed in the near future. The
third building will be designated as the
EpWorth College of Literature and a con-
siderable sum has already been contributed
toward its erection.
One of the few chief executives of the
United states to show a decided interest
IN higher education was President Nc
Kinley. Most Presidents have departed
from the capital city without leaving much
trace of their presence here, save a monu-
ment or statue. 1t is proposed that this
memorial building, located on the hill top
overlooking Washington city, the scene of
mis- historic administration, will commence
rate the life of great man and a friend of
education.
Description Of the Building.
The building, when completed, will be a
magnificent edifice. The general expression
is that of the Greek style of architecture,
with a few Romanesque features. There
Is a corner portico entrance with a low
dome supported by six immense Corinthian
columns. and the high arched windows on
the sides carry out the pure Greek idea
The university authorities will make every
effort to have the building rapidly com
pieted, after which appropriate dedicatory
exercises will be held.
Dr. w. l.. Davidson, secretary of the unI-
Versity, announces that special car service
has been arranged to convey to the site
those wishing to attend the exercises The
university is situated on Nebraska avenue
near the Loughboro' road, and the cars on
the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad
carry within a short walk of the uni
Versity buildings. A number of extra cars
Will be put at the disposal of patrons on the
afternoon of the 18th, and bus accommo-
dat1ons from the car line to the university
will be provided for those desiring to ride.
