The New George Washington.

OF proportions and dignity like
the new Union station and the new

jected for George Washington Uni

days papers for the first time. The
structures are in all, seven separate
buildings, and they are to be so To-
Gated as 10 form an important fea-
ture of the general scheme of the
Mall.
The whole nation will be glad to
note that the trustees have been
patriotic enough and far-sighted
enough TO plan The university's
new home with constant regard for
the ultimate effect upon the scheme
OF the. park commission for the per-
manent Improvement of the Capital.
The buildings are TO be broadly of
the Greek classic style, like the new
National Museum, the new Agricul-
tural building, and the Treasury
building, with which they are TO be
associated. They are, moreover, to
be solidly and handsomely construct
ed. The effect thus created will be
10 make the angle of the Mall. of
which the Washington Monument is
the crux. as impressive as any of its
other features.
Good news rests also in the policy
OF the trustees not 10 cucumber the
new home with debt, and, vet. TO
have these buildings ready for oc-
cupancy by the fall of 1908. The

these can be sold, as everyone an

George Washington University has
inherited from Columbian a long
record of valuable service to the ma

these plans is good to view from

CARNATION DAY IS
OBSERVED IN CAPITAL
Man, Woman, and Child Alike Pay
Silent Tribute to the Memory
Of William Mckinley.

'CaTnation Day was observed gener-
ally throughout Washington, practically
every man, woman, and child wearing
the carnati0n as a silent tribute 10 the
memoirs Of William Mckinley. the mar
tyred President. His birthday has been
set aside as Carnatiou Day by the Car
nation League. whose headquarters is in
Dayton. Ohio.
At the Capitol. Senators, members OF
the House, and employees wore the Nc
Kinley flower. IN the executive depart
ments men wore It in the lapels of their
coats and women wore il in their hair or
at the throat on the streets little chill
dren carried them in their hands or
wore them in their hair.
At the District building the earnation
was in evidence in every room and cor
TidOr.
In the public schools there was no
fixed set OF rules for the observation OF
the day. and in most OF the schools
nothing was done to mark the day save
the wearing Of the Ca-nGtiOn by ali the
pupils and teachers. In a few schools
a stanza of the National Hymn was
sung, while in others references 10 the
dead President were made IN the OPEN
ing exercises.
There was no way of forgetting ia the
National Capital today that the carna-
ton was Mcl<inley's faVOTite flower.
