High School The amendment passed the
Senate, but failed OF approval In the House.
The removal of the dscheol in the fall of
1885 to the old Districts building on 1st
street northwest temporarily relieved the
situation. but the rapid Development of the
school during the last tive or three years
renders the need of "a new building in the
Immediate future Imperative. In their
estates to the Commissioners of the Dis
trict for appropriations for: school purposes
for the fiscal year 1898 the board OF edu-
cation included an item of $780, 600 for 4
site and building for the school, S100. GOO
of which should be available at this time
for the purchase of site.Y
The Commissioners concurred heartily in
the recommendation of the board of educa-
tion, and included the item in their es.i
mates recently submitted to Congress. Be
cause of the imperative need of this inn
provement 1t is generally understood that
the Commissioners viii not find it neces-
sary to eliminate this. item from the esti-
mates In the revision required by the ap-
preparations committee of the House
The alumni association of the school had
taken a very active interest in the move
ment to secure a new building for the
school. which, by its practical training, has
earned its present high standing in the
favor of the community.

TRIUMPHAL ARCHES.
Some Modern Instances of These
Ancient Monuments.

Some Modern Instances of These
Ancient Monuments.
From the Municipal Journal and Engineer.
There is little to recommend the generally
received idea that the triumphal arch arose
from a fashion of decorating the gate of
city against the return of a conquerer, al
though in it's simplest form the arch does
appear to symbolic door or portion of
house which has been decorated in one way
or another by the people at home, in order
to testify their joy at the return of some
one who has given them reason to be proud
Of him. Nevertheless, the trtumphal arch
appears to have started independency Of
city gatherings. It was symbol in itself,
whether a crude structure of two posts and
a cross-bar, or the very elaborate marble
buildings erected at Rome to commemorate
victories and at the same time form a
monument to some member of the imperial
family. Naturally enough, the specimens
that are extant belong to the latter class,
since they are built enduringly of stone;
but their existence in such costly material
teStifies to many forerunners In perisha BILE
form which were erected in much the same
manner as was the temporary structure at
New York in honor Of the American navy
built after the designs Of Mr.. Charles r.
Lamb, to add splendor to the greeting given
sailors of the Philippine fleet.
Whether the fashion of triumphal arches
was original in Rome we do not know.
Since many other things in religion, cere-
monial, augury and domestic life were bor-
rowed from the Etruscans, perhaps the lat
ter were the originators. They were the
exemplars to the early Romans in matters
of state and pomp as well as statecraft,
until the latter began to wage wars out
side of Italy and came in contact with the
Greeks and ASiatics.

Monte Carlo.

From the London Chronicle.
Lord Rosslyn's attempt at breaking the
bank at Monte Carlo does not seem likely
to succeed. in spite Of the system that ap-
peared so convincing in Jermyn street. But
a temporary success would be welcomed by
the management, which depends on the
