CAPT. HARDING CoMP11MENTED.
Well Qualified to Superintend Con-
struction of Municipal Building.

There is much qualification at the District
building over the selection of Capt Chester
Harding, assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner, as superintendent of construc-
ton of the new District building. Capt.
Harding has been associated with the Dis
trict government and is fully acquainted
with the needs and desires of the Commits
sioners. He is regarded as being peculiarly
well qualified for the task to be set before
him.
In speaking of his selection by the Secre-
tary of War Commissioner Macfarland to-
day said:
THE Commissioners, who, with the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, are, under the
law, the commission to erect the new Dis
trict government building, gratified by
the selection of Capt Chester Harding as
the superintendent Of construction which
was made at their request. Capt. Hard
ing's special fitness for this work guaran-
tees its success. The commission will now
be able to proceed with the preparatio
for the construction of the new building.
The plans awarded the first place in the
competition for the selection of an archi-
tect, which were prepared by the firm OF
Cope & Stewardson of Philadelphia, will
have to be worked over. in the light of de-
velopments and under the new legislation
of the last session increasing the limit of
cost of the site and building from 81 SOC, 900
to $2,OW,OOO. The site cost $685. leaving
remainder for the building of 81, 450. 600.
Congress has appropriated $2JO.0OO toward
the construction of the building in addi-
ton to the $4,000 remaining from the $780,
GOO appropriated last year for the purchase
of site and toward the construction, and
this will be enough to begin the work.
Under a paragraph in the legislation OF
last session the recommendation made by
the Commissioners in their annual report
that the title to the site, which was taken
by the government of the United States
should be transferred to the District of
Columbia, is carried into effect The title
to all the other District buildings, now
valued with their sites at millions of dol
lars is in the District of Columbia and
there seemed to be every reason why the
title to the home of the District government
should be in the District of Columbia"

Corporate
TruSteeshiD

The best net results accrue to
those having fduciary business to
transact by patronizing THE
AMERICAN SECURITY AND
TRUST COMPANY.
This conclusion is based on a rec
ord of fourteen years of continued
accuracy and promptness in all
forms of business intrusted to it,
ample capital and complete facili
ties for efficiency in every branch of
its various departments.
This company pays special atten-
ton to the matter of wills, settle
ment of estates, ETC., and the ad-
vantages of corporate trusteeship,
in view of its legal safeguard and
practically assured perpetuity, are
among the best established facts of
modern times.
A continuously satisfactory man
agement of estates and the various
kinds of trust business by this COM
pany can be implicitly relied upon.
The AMERICAN SECURITY
AND TRUST COMPANY has
capital of one million two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars and five
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
surplus, transacting a general bank

Actual tests have demonstrated that the Hydro

Mr.. George H. Benjamin, the celebrated patent
lawyer and mechanical engineer and perhaps the
best living authority smelling. pronounces the
Hydro-Carbon smelter q complete success
Mr.. Erwin d. Treadwell experienced and
Thoroughly competent miner, expresses himself as
entirely satisfied with 1t.
Mr.. Charles H. Nathorst, a well-known practical
smelter operator. says that the above figures to
fuel cost can be materially reduced.
Professor George A. Treadwell describes 1t as "a
REVOLUTION IN THE-ART."
Mr. Martin r Boss, the wellknown inventor,
says he expects US to pay large dividends from
our interest in the smelter invention from our
great and rich mines
The officials Of the United States Patent Once say
that they fully appreciate the novelty of the nven
tion and its Importance to the art and have al
lowed us claims therefor exceedingly broad and
comprehensive.
Our Mr.. Walter s. Logan-not entirely unknown
as patent lawyer-says that he has seldom Known
an Invention to be so we'll secured and protected by
patents. and that 1t is important that patents
are being taken out not only in this country, but
In almost every other country In the world having

furnished with four little humps pierced
with tiny holes, from each of which is
sues single thread, and when thou
sand of these from each lump are join

day of that remarkable occurrence:

war, who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated. g9ve me detailed
account Of this most signal piece of
cowardice He had reviewed the troops
in the carrousel on horseback, highly
rouged, when q cry was raised, 'Noici

shook hands With the outposts. The
king retreated precipttately with his
sons, and a sublieutenant of the na-

in the greatest agitation said, Your
majesty must abdicate-' Very Well

son. NO, Internationally says the
young and self elected mouthpiece Of
public opinion. Would you believe it?
Of all who were copyrighted round the
