PLAN FINE BUILDINGS
HOLY CROSS ACADEMY TO HAVE
NEW HOME

Should the pans of the sisters in charge
Of the Holy Cross Academy, located on
Massachusetts, avenue northwest, be carried
out the school will make an important
contribution to the architectural beauties
of Washington. This academy has been
steadily developing. since 1879, with increas-
ed enrolment Of scholars each year, until,
1t is stated, the necessity now presents it
self of securing a more commodious build
ing.
The first steps to this end were taken in
the purchase of a tract Of land compris-
ing twenty-three acres in fine location
on the Pierce Mill road. The property is on
a plateau we'll situated for natural scenery.
Great interest is said to have been evinced
in the new plans many Of the old scholars
and their parents and friends having called
at the academy to express to Sister Angel
ca and her colaborers their satisfaction at
the proposed change
A final selection Of plans for the pro-
posed structure, or structures, has not
yet been made, this important matter hav-
ing been held in allegiance until the arrival
in this city Of the mother superior Of the
Ind, who is expected within a few days.
Group Of Structures.
What is said to be one of the most favor
ed designs for the enlargement Of the local
academy PROVIDES 1Or a Weil-lalQ-Out group
of buildings, averaging about 30 by 100
feet. to be connected by bridges or other
inclosed approaches. The structures are
planned to be modern in every particular,
and to combine every convenience of the
most up-to-date educational institution as
well as to provide suitable building for
the sisters themselves.
/ The new work Is expected to be taken
up and pushed with vigor. Only one build
ing will be undertaken at a time, but the
mother superior of the order desired to come
to Washington to personally look over the
ground before the architectural plan Is
finally decided upon 1t Is said that OPP
erations on the first structure may be be-
gun in the early spring.
The tract of land as it now stands is i'm
proved by spacious stone structure. which
for the next month will be occupied by
the senior class of the academy in the
prosecution of nature studies.
Holy Cross Academy had its beginning
in modest building back of old st. Mat
thew's Catholic Church. whose pastor then
was Rev. Father White, well remembered
by the older Catholic residents Of this city.
Finally larger establishment on NJ street
was secured. This, however, served as a
temporary home white the academy build
ing on Massachusetts, avenue was being
erected. In January, 1879. the new home
and present academy were opened.

District of Columbia, which was delayed
several hours en- route to this port owing to
an accident to her steering gear, has turned
her prov seward and will continue the
annual cruise. A large supply Of ammu-
milton was put aboard yesterday, the last
of the repairs to the steering gear being
repaired. supply of fresh provisions was
also purchased by the supply department
of the ship. The health of all on board is
excellent, and up to this time the trip
has been most successful one.
The Puritan dropped anchor Saturday
night at 5:45 at Liverpool Point. The engi-
neer's force under Chief Engineer Mitten-
dorf and Engineer Noel has done good work,
which is most gratifying to Commander s..
w. Stratton. The colored coal passers and
firemen have formed a singing club, and
their most popular song, Pass Us the Coal,
Daniel has made hit with the officers
and crew of the big fighting ship.
The order has been perfect since leaving
Washington Saturday morning, and Chief
M Slasa.at w: G. Herfurth and his
assistants are being highly complimented
for the good discipline which has been
maintained at all hours.
The Puritan arrived at Hampton roads
early yesterday morning, and a slight delay
was CduSeu ny TIE steering apparatus Ret-
ting out of order, but the machinists were
soon at work and made the necessary re-
pairs.
The pay department is sharing in the
honors of the trip in the manner in which
1t Is feeding the men. Paymaster Johns has
been untiring in his efforts to see that the
men are plentifully supplied. He is ably
assisted in his work by Pay Clerk William
G. Neumeyer, who is an experienced hand
in this line.
At noon Saturday after the Puritan had
started down the Potomac river the men
were served with light luncheon, consisting
Of beef stew, hot sausages potatoes, coffee,
bread and butter. Dinner was served in
the evening instead Of in the middle Of
the day as heretofore has been the custom
and will be continued throughout the trip.
The menu for dinner consisted of vege-
table soup, beef steak, boiled potatoes corn,
tomatoes, bread, butter and coffee. For
Sunday morning breakfast hot rolls, sliced
meat, scrambled eggs, potatoes, bread, but
ter and coffee constituted the bill of fare,
and dinner was all that could be desired.
Additional comforts have been provided the
men in the shape of new clothing and
blankets, so that when they are off duty
between watches they have the opportunity
of making themselves comfortable.
The Puritan will spend two days at sea-,
when the men will be given instruction in
manning the ships battery and will indulge
in target practice. A large floating target
has been constructed, and 1t is expected the
"bluejackets" from the national capital will
give a good account Of themselves.
