NEW WOKR In PROSPECT
MODERN HOTEL NEAR PROPOSED
UNION RAILROAD DEPOT.
Important Move Contemplated by CO.
lumbar University in an Entire
Change Of Location.

There is a good deal of interest manifest
ed on the part of property owners and 9TH
ers in regard to the future of the squares
in the vicinity Of the proposed union sta
ton, the erection of which, in connection
with the scheme for the abolition Of grade
crossings In this city. was authorized at the
last session of Congress. AS Is well known.
the new depot is to be an imposing struc-
ture, to cost about four millions of dollars.
It will have a frontage on q broad plaza
formed at the junction Of Massachusetts,
and Delaware avenues. According to the
plan for the arrangement of the streets
there will be several points of triangular
squares separated from the depot by the
plaza and fronting that building on the
south.
These pieces of land will lie between LIST
street east and North Capitol street, with
several new streets Intervening. All the
land that will face the depot Is owned by
the railroad company, and 1T is the 1nten-
ton of the corporation to keep the control
of that property to the extent of Knowing.
in the event it is transferred to private
hands, that the improvements will be OF
such character as to be in harmony with
the handsome architectural proportions OF
the new structure.
Large Modern Hotel.
1t has already been practically decided
that one of these triangular pieces OF
ground is to pass into the possession of the
group of men who own the Raleigh Hotel
with the understanding that upon this site
will be erected fine modern hotel building,
something like the Essex in Boston, which
is near the terminal in that city. The pro-
posed building will be of steel frame, and
in all the details of its construction, as well
as it's arrangement, will be first-class and
quite equal to any modern hotel, depart
ure in that respect from the class of hotels
usually found in the vicinity of railroad
stations
Site for Columbian University.
An important step has been decided upon
by the authorities of Columbian University
which will result, 1t is believed, in the near
future in providing for that institution
ample buildings with abundance of ground
about them for use as a campus, which IS
a feature of all groups of university build
ings The location, it is understood, has peen
selected and it Is within the bounds or the
city, but the exact place Is not mentioned.
1t is stated, however, that such site mas
ractically been secured, and the necessary
structures are to be erected In the near
future for the use of the university. When
that is accomplished it is proposed to sell
the university property at the southeast
corner of 18th and H streets, which is ex-
pected will net the university about half
a million of dollars. This move is in ac-
cordance with the policy of President Need
ham to develop the university on broad
lines.

Nh From
PIcKLED RAILROAD TIES.
Process That Renders Them Twice as
Durable as They Form
erly Were.

The rapid decrease in the supply OF
timber and the consequent rise in
price have forced western railroad
companies to geek some method Of
prolonging the life Of the wooden ties.
Years ago a tie cost only few cents.
Nowadays 1t cannot be bought for less
IN 70 cents. says the New York
Sun
The Burlington officials think they
have solved the problem by picking
the ties, and SO confident are they
that It is a paying proposition that a
large amount Of money has been ex-
pended In establishing pickIing plants
at various points
AS the blood of the body is removed
in embalming and replaced by a pre-
serving fluid, SO the sap of the wood
is extracted from the ties and re-
placed with a solution of zinc chlor-
ide Not only is the sap taken out.
but the solution permeates the cells
OF the apre and upon drying deposits
the mineral SO evenly that they arc
protected against the action of the
outside moisture to such an extent
that the life Of the tie is more than
doubled.
Fifty thousand ties a month are
picked In the main plant at sheri-
dan, Wyo. The saving is considera-
BILE. To pickle tie costs from 10 TO
IL cents. but whereas Oregon fir, the
lumber now generally used, rots in
four years. the treated ties last from

HUNTING FOR
HON ESEEKERS
Some Results Ac-
cOmpIished in
Short Time.

For the first time ia its history
Vinita made an effort today to Sc
cure some additions to its popula-
ton. Land seekers excursions
have been run on all the roads to
the southwest and the Katy and
Frisco had about three trains each
through this city today. Last
evening FIVE gentlemen went up
the road and met the trains at Mo.
nett and Baxter Springs on the
Frisco and Parsons on the Katy
armed with a supply Of "vinita
ia Nutshell" booklets.
The tourists were eager to get
all the literature and all the in
formation possible, and some Of
them stopped of on the way down
and others agreed 70 do so on
their way north.
While enough time and en3agh
men we're not available to accomp-
lish all that might be desired. all
satisfied themselves that with the
experience Of this attempt another
time material results could be OBJ
tanned.

The news Of the surrender of the
French army and Emperor Napoleon at
Sedan had spread about Paris. The
city was excited, and there was talk Of
a revolution and the banishment Of the
imperial family At this juncture
Emile de Girardin. man who was trust
ed by the empress, and who had had no
little experience during the previous
changes Of government. arrived at the
palace OF the Tuileries. 'Tf your
majesty were to appear on horseback In
the midst OF the people" Girardin safd
"and announce the abdication Of the emf
peror in favor of the prince imperial
your own assumption of the title of en-
press regent, and the appointment OF
Theirs as prime minister, the empire
might be saved. Something must be
done to turn the tide"
The empress accepted the advice. But
when this leader of the worlds fash
ion sought for a proper costume for her
performance, il could not be found. The
only riding habit in the Tuileries was
fantastic one Of green, embroidered with
gold and silver, made for a festal hunt
ing occasion; and the hat was a not less
fantastic three-cornered affair of the
epoch of Louis Quinze. The empress
felt that it would not do to appear in
this garb on such an occasion. Her ap-
pearance in it might have the opposite
effect upon the people from that which
she intended. The plan had to be given
up, the empress and the prince imperial
were banished. and the Napoleonic en-
pire was at an end.

BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY.
How an Empire Was Lost for want
of the Right sort OF RID

An old legend which makes no pre-

lost for want Of a horseshoe nail. But
a recent volume Of sober historical and
biographical purpose, written by Count
d'Herrison, makes It appear that En-
press Eugene, after the battle Of Sc

pire Of her husband by not possessing
exactly the right sort of riding habit

TWO Hundred Miles an Hour.

Some interesting experiments have
been carried out with a new monorail
system, devised by a French engineer,
az. Devic. The inventor has built a
model upon the scale Of One-tenth OF
what the actual train is to be, and with
this train he has attained a speed Of
thirteen miles an hour. The train is TO
TO be propelled by electric power, and
Ia order that high speed may be attain
ed the inventor relies upon two factors
-diminutiOn Of weight and a more ef-
fective gripping Of the drive wheels
upon the single track Of the railroad.
lie claims to have designed a rail
which viii afford the wheels sufficient
grip irrespective Of the weight which
they are carrying. Further expert
ments are to be carried out with q
much larger model at Nemours to
prove the utility and advantage Of the
system ~. Devic is sanguine Of at
tanning a speed Of 200 miles an hour
