Twentieth Anniversary.

One of the incest parties of the season
was that given by Mr.. and Mrs. w. P.
Dutton at Roberts hall Saturday evening
when they celebrated the twentieth
anniversary Of their marriage.
About IS invitations were sent out and ,
from appearances, everyone took adj
vantage of the opportunity of attending.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and potted plants, and
China lanterns were arranged between
the electric lights, making a most
beautiful effect. The game of the even
ing was "hearts" and in the center of
the hall there were innumerable red
hearts of all sizes fastened to the electric
lights. In the corners were placed
couches, supplied with many sofa
pillows.
The occasion was one to be long re-
membered, and it was often heard by
those present that this is certainly one
of the most pleasant occasions we have
had the pleasure of attending, and Mr..
and Mrs. Dutton have certainly proved
themse Ives to be royal entertainers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dutton received many
beautiful pieces of Chinaware.

is extended so as to include the public
buildings. While not as large as the struc-
lures erected for the use of the government,
in quiet dignity and attractiveness the new
structure promises to be in every sense
worthy of standing in the vicinity of the
great piles of granite erected by the United
States.
Location of the Building.
The location at the northwest corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street will
place it, in fact opposite the treasury
building. The architects have evidently
recognized the overshadowing influence of
such an impressive pile as the treasury
building, and on this account the DOric style
of architecture is predominant in the treat
ment of the details of the building. This Is
especially true of the 18th street front.
which is $50 feet long and is marked by
colonnade, the massive pillars of granite
supporting entablature, which is finished
at the roof line with parapet. In the CEN
ter of this colonnade is the entrance to the
building.
The avenue front is treated so to en-
nance the effect of Solidity and safety.
which are such important characteristics Of
such an institution. and in this way the
object of the structure is plainly revealed
to the passer-by. There is but one window
to break the sweep of strength shown in
the massive granite wall. and the sole or
namentatiOn are the pilaSterS on each side.
This eatment harmOniZeS finely with
Riggs Bank building, which it adjoins. and
which was designed by the same architects.
In addition to the range of windows on
level with the entrance there is range be-
meath the cornice, which might indicate
from the outside that the structure con-
tanned two stories. The interior. however.
is one great room. 1t is impressive because

ATTEMPTED BRIBERY CHARGED.
Corning Man Tried to Fix Assistant
Secretary Taylor.

The treasury secret service has been IN
formed of the arrest of George E. Eaton.
cashier of the private banking house of
Nandenning & Co. OF Corning, n. Y, on
a charge of attempted bribery. He was
taken before a United States commissioner
where he gave bond for his appearance
In court. When searched a decoy letter
sent from the Treasury Department and a
registry receipt for a letter sent Assistant
Secretary Taylor were found on Eaton.
Chief Wilkie. who caused the arrest, said
that in May Mr.. Taylor received a letter
from Eaton saying he had piece of prop
erty in Corning which would prove an ad-
mirable site for the proposed post office
building: that he was not familiar with
the method of placing his proposition before
the government, but was willing to make
it right" Mr.. Taylor referred the letter
to the solicitor, the supervising architect
and Chief Wilkie of the secret service. A
decoy letter was sent Eaton stating that
the portion of his letter referring to max
ing 1t right" was interesting. Within a
few days Mr.. Taylor received a second let
ter from Eaton in which he stated the
property cost him $4,000 and he was will
ing To sell IL to the government for $1,000.
and further that he willing to accept
81 900 as his share of the profit and give
the assistant secretary the remainder. This
letter led to the arrest.
Eaton insisted that he was innocent in
the matter and did not intend to violate
the law

From the entrance one will pass directly
into a large central space or court, about
which are the various rooms for the officers
and clerks. Walking to the south in this
central space will be found the approach
to staircase, which goes to the safe de-
post vaults below.
A gallery across the south end will afford
meeting room for the directors. while
there will be a corresponding detail across
the north end. The walls of this lofty
room will he divided into panels by means

MILITARY ACADEMY BUILDINGS
Board of Visitors Approves of Plans
and Specifications.

The board of visitors to the West Point
Military Academy has made it's report to
the Secretary of War. The report is inter-
esting chiefly because of the very general
commentator of the conditions at the
academy. 1t is especially noted that the
discipline is excellent, and that haZng has
disappeared save in one or two cases of a
very mild character.
The board made a thorough examination
of the plans and specifications which have
been prepared under the direction of the
Secretary of War for new buildings and
other improvements at the academy. and
they are approved without reservation. The
total expenditure for these improvements
will be S.. 100000
The board of visitors were at the Mill
tary Academy at the time of the extensive
drought which afflicted the eastern part of
the United States during May and had
an object lesson regarding the water sup
ply of the academy. The result is that. in
addition to the 100000 which was appro-
priated for increasing the water facilities
a much larger appropriation has been
recommended The streams which supply
the reservoir for the academy all became
dry and the water supply in the reservoir
was four feet below the lowest point.
While the condition which produced this
situation was unprecedented. the board be-
Heves that precaution should be taken
against a recurrence. Besides the enlarge
ment OF the academy Will make a larger
demand for water 1t is proposed to ac-
quire a tract of drainage land which will
be utilized to supply the reservoir of the
academy.
The board found that the owners of land
in the vicinity realize that the govern
ment needs the land. and that prices are
very high. but in case the owners and. the
government cannot come to terms the land
may be acquired by condemnation pro-
ceeedingS.

PLANS FOR A STRUCTURE SUB
MITTED AND ADOPTED.
American Security and Trust Com
pany's New Home Near the
Treasury Department.

AT a meeting of the board of directors OF
the American Security and Trust Company
held yesterday the plans of the proposed
new home of the company, submitted in
competition by two firms of architects, were
under consideration. The plans included
water color sketches of the interior as well
as of the exterior. and drawings showing
the arrangement of the space Both plans
showed the results of such thorough study
and apt comprehension of the uses of such
a structure that it was with some difficulty
a decision was reached. Finally, it was de-
termined to accept the plans submitted by
York & Sawyer of New York, who had been
selected to enter the competition with Hill
& Kendall of this city
The accepted plans will, when carried out
provide a structure that will at once be
recognized as distinct and valuable addl-
tion TO the architecture of this city. This
will be true whether or not the comparison
