side According to the plans prepared by
Wood, Dom q Deming architects, the CEN
trail feature will be the main doorway,
which will be 1anked with columns sup
porting an architrave that has. flavor of
the times when men wore knee breeches.
The treatment of the entire front, which
is nnlShed above the second story with
characteristic balustrade, behind which are
the dormer windows on the slate-covered
roof, is marked by dignified simplicity.
This effect is largely due to the sklltul
treatment of the spaces, which are not DIS
gulSed by ornamentation, but stand in the
composition at their true value. An iron
fence about the lawn in front gives the inn
preston of retirement which is rather
characteristic of this kind of house, espe-
ciaily when it fronts on. city street.
Building Statistics.
Building operations in twenty-three of the
principal cities of the country for May
make highly satisfactory showing. Dur
ing the month just closed according to spe-
cial reports to Construction News, permits
were taken out for 7.714 building improve
ments, involving total expenditure of $685.
463,SS7 against 7.512 permits aggregatng
$31, S4S, 133, an increase of 202 improvements
and $3.6 1874 this year over the correspond
ing period last year, or practically II per
cent.
OF the twenty-three cities in the forego-
ing list sixteen show increases varying
from to ITS per cent, while seven have
losses varying from 1 to 40 per cent. This is
considered a remarkable showing. In New
York city. where building operations are
under the blight of intense labor troubles,
the increase was 10 per cent. According to
latest reports, the difficulties in that city
are now over with, and normal conditions
will govern once more. The most notable
increase is in Cincinnati. where there was
a gain of ITS per cent over the same month
year ago. Detroit shows gain of 137.
San Francisco 131, Atlanta 12i. Denver

Seventh-To use its best efforts in the
establishment and maintenance of a speed
way in Washington.
The idea is not to confine the member
ship to persons owning fast horses. but to
have it extend to all lovers of horsefesh
who enjoy driving, riding or witnessing
friendly contests of speed
In Philadelphia the membership of the
Road Drivers Association runs into the
thousands. and includes all characters of
equipages from the light driving rig up to
the heavy drag and tally-ho and when the
legislature recently passed the bill author
1Zng the construction of a speedway in
paramount Park the event was celebrated
by parade of the road drivers. I'm which
every member who could possibly do so
participated, the line of march extending
from South Broad street to Paramount
fafk, ana was a most inspiring occasion,
not only for the participants but for the
citizens at large. who. turned out en- masse
10 witness the unique procession.
A Parade Idea.
1t has been proposed that the idea of a
parade. as an Endorsement OF the move
ment In this city. should take place at an
early day. and in that view all drivers
resident in the city should take part This
is easy of accomplishment provided tho
citizens will join in the undertaking. and
In connection with such an event Col. Sy-
mons has agreed to arrange, If possible,
for an afternoons pleasure i'm fast driv-
ing on the eilipse or monument grounds.
1t is possible that Saturday matinees OF
this character may be authorized for tho
summer months, pending the construction
of the desired speedway. which. in the
opinion of Col. Symons, should be built
on the reclaimed land along the river bank
between the Washington monument and
the naval observatory. In fact Col Sy-
mons has a plan which he will submit at
the meeting to be held for organiza ton,
which contemplateS a mile and a quarter
straight away for speeding with a return
drive. bride path and carriage road rum
ming parallel Herewith virtually four road
ways. Such an arrangement would not
only insure success of the undertaking
from a Washington viewpoint but would
bring to this city many persons who are
interested in high-bred trotting stock and
road driving. and it is believed that au-
thority for the construction of the road
way can be readily obtained from Con-
gress at its next session.
Some Who Pledged Support.

support to the movement and who have
promised to attend the meeting of organi-
cation on the 10Th instant are: James ID.

The team dashed and under the wire
hats went up and a chorus of yells echoed
after the flying little Attorney General. The
mile had been trotted in 2.0S, clipping
something like two seconds from the
worlds team record.
There are many other high bred trotters
owned by residents here. but owing to the
lack of proper conditioned roadways for
high-claSS stock they largely kept
on farms adjacent to the city. In this con-
nection Judge Yeomans. commissioner of
interstate commerce, remarked few days
ago: Il have several fine trotters. which
should like to drive in Washington. but
as there is no place to go with a spirited
animal l am compelled to keep them on my

The objects of the proposed organization
are to be seven-foId. namely:
First-To provide pleasure for its MEM

Augusta, May 24.-Prof John Nelly,

for Girls, and one of the oldest and
most valued members of the public
school system in Augusta, died this
evening after only a few days illness
His last day at school was last We'd
nesday, when he was feeling so badly
that he had to go home. He had been
complaining of lassitude and general

a general breaking down. He had a
brother who filled the position before
him, Prof. Ben Nelly, who died several
years ago.
Prof. Nicely is survived by his wife,
but has no children. He was born in
Baltimore sixty-five years ago. but
came to Augusta when quite young

OPERATION UPON

Augusta, May 24.-Miss Angie r.
Cubbedge of Savannah, young lady
who has visited Augusta several times
and is quite popular among the young
society people, and who is at this time
a guest of Miss Matte Wright of this
city, was successfully operated on to-
night for appendicitis at the City Hos
pital
Friday night she was out at Lake
view with friends, and though COM
plaining somewhat was not considered
sick. Yesterday and to-day she re-
manned in bed. and tonight DR..
Thomas r. Wright. in whose home she
was a guest, decided she had appendi-
citis and must be operated on at once.
He has performed the operation about
as oftM as any surgeon in the state
and has also undergone 1t himself. He
had Miss Cubbedge at once removed to
the hospital, where there is every APP
pliance and convenience and skilled
nurses. and the operation was entirely
successful.

Machinery on a warship.
From Casters Magazine.

In a speech recently before the House
of Commons, dealing with the educa-
ton of naval officers, Arnold Forster
quoted a distinguished naval officer in
the lines below, which admirably pre-
sent the naval engineers claim to ap-
probation:
Everything in the modern fleet" SO
he said, lis done by machinery, be il
steam, hydraulic, compressed air, cleo
tricity, to which win probably be added
in the near future explosive oil and
liquid air. Not only are the ships pro-
PEELED solely by machinery, but they
are steered by machinery Their princi-
pal arms-gun and torpedo--are work.
ed by machinery. They are lit by ma
chinery; the water used by those on
board for drinking, cooking, washing,
is produced by machinery; messages
which were formerly transmitted by
voice pipe now go by telephone. The
orders which the admiral wishes to give
to the fleet could formerly only by
made by flags in the day and lamps at
night; they are now made by electricity
that is. wireless biography and cleo
trio flashing lamps. Orders which were
formerly written out by hand are now
produced by the typewriter or by the
printing machine. Formerly the adj
miral visited another ship In his pull
ing barge, now ne goes In a steam
boat; the anchor, formerly hove up by
hand, is now worked by engine. The
live bullocks which were formerly
taken to sea are now replaced by frog
en- carcasses, maintained in that con-
dition by machinery. If a fire breaks
out in the ship, the steam pumps drown
it; if the ship springs aleak, the steam
pumps keep down the water. The
very air that those on board between
decks breathe is provided by a fan
driven by machinery"

SAYS THAT EATING
FISH CAUSES LEPR0SY.
Hutchinson Gives His Views on the
Disease in India.

Hutchinson Gives His Views on the
Disease in India.
London, May 25.--Jonathan Hutchin-
son, the we'll known surgeon and for
mer president of the Royal College of
Surgeons, who recently returned from
tour of investigation in India as TO
the cause and prevention of leprosy,
has written a letter to the Times on
the subject of fish eating as the cause
of leprosy.
He gives the opinion that the Catho-
lie fast days are responsible for the
spread of leprosy and that wherever
there is a risk of obtaining unsound
fish, the use of fish on fast days ought
to be forbidden. Reiterating his opin-
ion that neither contagion nor the
crusades, but Christianity, was re-
sponsible for the prevalence of leprosy
in Europe during the Middle Ages, he
expresses the fear that the same thing
is now happening in India and else
where.
Wherever Catholic missions are
successful" says DIR. Hutchinson,
"leprosy increases. My calculation is
that the risk to a Catholic convert is
twenty-fold that of one who remains
in the Hindoo faith"
DR.. Hutchinson says the Indian jain,
who is a vegetarian almost exclusive
ly, escapes leprosy. while the Catholic
suffers fearfully, and he expresses the
opinion that this is a proof that the
disease is nom contagious.
In conclusion, among several sug-
gested preventives. he strongly urges
the abolition of the salt tax in India
in order that the Hindoo may make
the fish eatable.

WITCUCRAFT TO SCIENCE.
Progress of a Century Has Changed
the Former Into the Latter.

From Harpers Weekly.
A century ago the work of the mod
ern surgeon would have been denounc-
ed by the theologians, who then ruled
mankind, as audacious intrusions into
the exclusive jurisdiction of God. Two
centuries ago, or, at the furthest,
three, the man of science who would
take out the viscera of a man, cut out
their disease and put them back, would
have been fortunate to escape the
stake or the block. But the audacious
invader of the secrets of the body, the
benefcent healer who, with his phial
or his knife, lessons the miseries of
humanity, diminishes or destroys pain,
prolongs life and smoothes its path
way to the graVe--thiS is now the man
who appeals most strongly to his fell
ow-beings. For him and his training
the captains of industry are pouring
out their billions, building him colleges
and laboratories, endowing professor
ships, while the world at large halls
him as a man of power and influence
at a time when wealth is accumulat-
ing and when men are not decaying.
More and more, very likely, we shall
see the strong men of the college
classes choosing medicine, although
the time has not yet come for domina-
ton over the lawyer who is now en-
gagged in settling the direction and the
form in which the captains of industry
shall carry on their development of the
worlds wealth. The time seems to be
coming, however, when the indefinite
prolongation of human life, and the
destruction of the enemies of human
health-a work which almost suggests
the creative power-will be the task
that will call for and will receive the
service of the best training of our col
leges and universities-that is, when
the appeal of medicine and surgery will
be addressed inevitably to the best in
every college class, just as once the
call came from the ministry, and then
from the bench and bar and Senate
House.
