would be equally fitting that the bodies
Of other scientists who have won great
distinction in the government service
should also find resting place there be-
side him.
In short time the Smithsonian build
ing will no longer be necessary for the
purposes of the institution. Congress
is preparing to erect new home for the
National museum which is connected
with the Smithsonian, and this will af-
ford ample room for all the Smithson-
ian offices. The original building, one
of the architectural ornaments of Wash
ington, will then be available for any
purpose to which the government may
see fit to put it, and the scientific men
who have been closely identified with
its work for many years will do all they
can to have it transformed into me-
mortal hall, to contain the tombs of their
most eminent associates.
Alexander Graham Bell is interested
in the project. So is Prof Langley. "A
beginning would be made with the body
OF Smithson. Then the bodies of Henry.
Baird and Goode would follow, and soon
the thing would be an accomplished

1t is not intended that the plan shall
include memorials to men who have
grown great in politics or war. That
would enlarge too far the possible list.

towards cnnple elton, and so they are
turning with longing eyes to the adj
jacent frontage on Dearborn street for
relief from the dilemma. seemingly
90 many mistakes and blunders have
been made already in the big structure
that it creates no surprise that this
new difficulty has arisen. It, is said
that in the beginning changes could
have been made in the building plans to
provide adequate loading and unload
ing facilities at q cost of only $4,000,
but now to effect the changes would
take sum something like $500, 1000.
and in view of the extra demands
which ave already been made upon
Uncle Sam in connection with the
building, 1t is doubtful whether he
would indorse and provide for such an
additional item. For this reason relief
is sought by the post Office authorities
in the direction of outside accommoda-
IONS. 1t is proposed that the sidewalk
on the Dearborn street side of the post
Office be surrendered to the postal au-
thorlt1es. A shed would be built over
1t and upon platform to extend from
Adams street to Jackson boulevard the
loading and unloading of the mails
would be effected. But the splendid
business frontage along that section of
the street was up in arms in an in
slant. The Chicago Real Estate board
took up the issue, and if the post Office
secures the space it covets it will only
be after lively contest. The property
owners do not propose to allow their
street to be turned into back alley,
even to crafty Uncle Sam, and even
though New York does yield a similar
privilege to her post office It won't
go in Chicago.

the compliment paid to the United

lieved to be the fitting place for it, as
Frederick was prominently soldier,
but duplication has arisen because the
proposition has been made to group
with the statue of Frederick the statues
of three other great soldiers. The names
suggested are Alexander the Great,
Julius Caesar and Napoleon. But there
is something about this suggestion which
does not appeal with much force to tile
administration officials who have beeo
considering the matter. In the frs.
place, the proposition is little too war
like. In the second place, there is a
good deal of feeling against the idea of
putting up statue to Napoleon here IL.

gist is obliged to preserve the prescrip-
tons on which the acid is sold, and
noncompliance with the ordinance is
punishable by fine of from ten dol

that as soon as it is in force there will
be a decrease in the number of suicides
by means of carbolic acid. The pro.

law, and for this reason persons seek
ing se1f-destruction seldom use these
drugs. The very great disparity be-.
tween suicides by carbolic acid and
those by other poisons is strikingly
shown by the figures for1902, those for
1903 not yet being available, but it is
thought that the figures for last year
will show even greater disproportion.
While in 1902 there were 127 deaths
from carbolic acid, there were only
nine suicides from morphine, four from.

item among the many of the budget is
one Of 100000 for the purchase and

about Cockran's style that is all
compelling while he is on his feet. He
may not carry permanent conviction,
but the charm Of his speaking is ire
sistible When Cochran was here be-
fore he made his biggest hit by a fervid
defense of President Cleveland, that
fairly swept the house off its feet. That
was in the last year of Cleveland's first
term, when the new election was coming
democratic convention Cochran made
another speech, which is perhaps the
most extraordinary convention speech
ever delivered. 1t was three O'Clock in
the morning, after the convention had
been bowling mob for hours and after
they had hooted down every oratorical
light in the party. The confusion was
simply indescribable. 1t was a Cleve-
land convention, but they would not lis
ten even to those who tried to speak for
Cleveland. When Cochran arose he had
not spoken three minutes before he had
the entire convention of 10000 peoplezas
still as church, and he held them thus
for nearly an hour. 1t was the most
brilliant attack on Cleveland as can
didate that could be conceived. Yet'it
did not affect single vote in the con-
vention. Cockran's speech ranks with
the speeches of Bryan of 1896,
of 1ngersoll in 1876 and of Conk-
ling in 1880, as one of the half
dozen really great convention speeches.
AS pure personal proposition it was the
greatest Of them all, for he mastered
and held, hostile audience Bryan
simply voiced the sentiment of his au-
dience, as nobody had been able to do
before.

strike came first, and the injunction
followed. Somewhere out in the stock
yards district an operator quit when
his demand for increased pay was re-
fused, and the half dozen messenger
boys went out with him on sympa-
thetic strike. News of the affair
reached 700 restless messenger boys in
the down town Office of the Western
Union, and union and strike were
almost simultaneously organized. But
these incidents might have passed
without attracting much attention had
not the boys gotten busy holding up
the boys that took their places and
tearing up dispatches. This made
business for the court, and a full
grown and dignifled injunction trotted
out to take his place in the conflict. 1t
was easy enough to get the Injunction,
but it was another thing to secure it's
service upon the more than 100 boys
named in the legal document. The
deputy marshals had lively chase az
ter the boys, and the boys feel that
their reputation in the labor world
has been made now that they can be
classed with all the labor lights in the
country against whom injunctions
have issued.

is distant from the ordinary lines Of
travel, incOnvenient of access and un-
slightly. This was done because one or
two United States senators happened to
hold real estate in that particular square,
and it was contrived in such a quiet way
that unless the measure became law
before the fourth of March, certain ap-
preparation bills would be allowed to
fail, thus making an extra session of
congress necessary.
The general feeling of disgust over
this little bit of real estate manipulation
has set congress to thinking, and nothing
more of that kind is likely to happen.
But there is almost equal Discrimination
to putting new buildings even in sites
which would otherwise be available so
long as Pennsylvania avenue remains
a reproach to the builders of the Capital
city.
Senator Fairbanks, who reported a
Dill for the construction of building to
be occupied by the departments of state,
justice and commerce, found somewhat
to his surprise very general opposition
to the proposal to locate the new build
ing on the square of ground just oppo-
site the war and navy department and
the white house, a proposal which would
involve the condemnation of an entire
square, containing number of historic
houses like the Decatur house, the old
Corcoran art gallery and the temporary
white house, which witnessed the crea-
ton of the coal strike commission. Lo-
cal sentiment and the sentiment of
most of the leading men in the senate
was against the proposal and in favor
of selecting'a site south Of the avenue.
