River Front Improvements.

The improvements along the Washington
river front are not at an end as the WASH
ington and Potomac Steamboat Company will
early the coming spring erect a handsome
office building for the accommodation of its
excursion business at the wharf of the
River View and Colonial Beach steamers.
The present low one-story frame structure
which has done duty as an Office for the
past twenty years is to give place to the
march of improvement, and in it's stead a
handsome two-story pebble dash structure
is to take it's place. The plans for the new
building are now being prepared, and in a
short time will be submitted to the District
authorities for their approval The cree
ton of this new building will leave the
building used by the District government as
a police station for the river front the only
one on the river front from the foot of
sth street to N street that has not been
improved. Within the next month or two
extensive improvements are to be made at
the pier at the foot of N street, recently
acquired by the Ocean Steamship Company.

BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Workmen to Urge Erection of New
Public Building.

Representative workingmen of Washing
ton and others have arranged to appear be-
fore the House committee on public build
ings and grounds tomorrow in favor of an
appropriation for the erection of new and
modern building for the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing. The project has been in
dorsed by many citizens and members of
labor unions, it is said.
The local union of the International
Brotherhood of Bookbinders at it's last
meeting voted unanimously for the adoption
of a resolution favoring the measure and
providing for representation at the hearing.
The plate printers, who are more deeply
concerned, will make a vigorous fight for
new quarters. They say that conditions in
the present building are bad beyond de-
scription, that 1t is one of the worst of
sweat shops, is overcrowded and unventi-
lated, and that the conditions not only af-
feet the amount and character Of work, but
impair the health of the men.
A committee, comprising Mr.. James T..
Feeney, president of the bookbinders; Sui
Ivan and Ralph of the plate printers, will
present the case of their respective organ
izations. 1t is probable that many other
trades unions will be represented.

SCHOOL HOUSE ASSURED.
New Building on Virginia Heights
Opposite Georgetown.

The building of a good school house on
the Virginia heights opposite Georgetown is
said to be assured. At meeting of the

Tuesday a report was made that VIM. A. E.
McShea, the association candidate, had been
selected to fill the place on the Arlington
district school board vacated by B. NJ. Da
wilson. Mr.. McShea stated that the court
had approved the purchase of the lot on the
Ballston road at the top of the first hill be-,
yond Rosslyn for $500, and that he was
informed that arrangements were being
made to procure the money and put up
building at once. County Superintendent
pected to work in harmony and energetic
measures will be the order. The board is
looking for plans for the proposed building,
which they expect to adapt to the ample
room given by the acre lot which has been
purchased.
The association also discussed county in
corporation and the proposed bonding of
the county for roads, although the chair
man Of the committee on arrangements for
a mass meeting at the court house to con-
slider the Henderson bonds proposition was
not ready to report, conference of the
committee with Mr.. Henderson is hoped for
by the time of the next meeting.
The lighting problem was considered and
a committee was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Brown, King and Baker, to inves-
tigate methods and cost of lighting.
The sidewalks committee reported prog
ress, and Mr.. C.. E. Lewis, who was acting
Chairman of the meeting, reported from the
ladies' "Cinder Path Association dona-
and the secretary was enthusiastically in
structed to tender the donors a vote Of
thanks. Contributions were also reported
from others interested in the community.

"BIG TIM" SHOES HIS COHORTS.
One Bowery Voter Tried repeating
and Two Pawned Footwear.

NEW YORK, February 7.-Timothy d.
Sullivan supplemented the Christmas din
ner which he gave to the voters along the
Bowery and the lower East Side by a mid
winter distribution yesterday of shoes and
stockings.
In helping along the deserving poor men
who make their homes in the lodging
houses and cheap tenements in the back
streets there was attempt to follow the
methods of organized charity. Each re-
ceived a white paper box containing shoes
of the right size and stockings to match.
He was wished good luck as he passed out
with the gift under his arm.
During the process of distribution John
]. White, who kept the line, managed to
put, unnoticed, a tiny chalk mark on the
left shoulder of each voter presented with
a pair of shoes. This precaution was taken
to prevent repeating, and 1t aided in the
discovery of one man in the 5000 who at
tempted to impose on the generosity of the
big Fellow
The single repeater was not thrown out
but was simply refused after being told
that his wants had already been attended
to. That was sufficient
Three of the men who got boxes OF shoes
and stockings were followed to a pawn
shop and were caught in the act of pledg-
ing "Sullivans gift" at 81 box. Mr.. Dept
seized the three pairs of shoes and stock
ings and later they were given to other
men who needed footwear, but had no
tickets

EXPECT PERFECT CHILDREN.
1.-The Architects Moses is Willing tt
Bet $50. 900 on Unborn.

CHICAGO, February ASHER Gluck,
head of THE Architects simple life
colony in Milwaukee avenue, will bet with
any one from $4,000 to $4,000 that the
child of any two members of his colony,
married under the rules of the colony, will
possess at birth all the wisdom desired for
1t by it's parents.
Gluck made this offer yesterday after
completing the organization of the ruling
council of his strange cult. The purpose of
'The Architects" is perfection through re-
creation, he declares. The members of the
colony are to make themselves over as
nearly perfect as is possible through the
conditions they have passed through but
for their children they shall have deter
mined absolute perfection through training
The twenty-four members of the Gluck
colony, fifteen of whom are men and nine
women, engaged today in manufacture
ing the clothing that will distinguish them
from the common herd. These garments,
which are to be alike for both sexes will
consist of pair of rOomy trousers and a
loose, double coat, made from I'M
bleached linen.
The members work in two shifts of eight
hours each. The order of the day is eight
hours of work, eight hours for sleep and
eight hours for education and recreation.
One day week is given for rest. This day
may be any one the individual desires.
The daily diet of the colony is fruit,
cereals, nuts and vegetables, with Oil as a
beverage. No meat or anything of animal
origin is permitted to the members. Hair
mattresses are tabooed, the members taking
to hay for slumber Brushes are made from
fiber. The men are bearded, and no shaw
ing is allowed.
Dr. Gluck, wearing a bathing suit and a
hugh watchchain, today explained:
In order that God may find a worthy
tabernacle in our bodies, We wish to make
our bodies as perfect as possible
Parents among US have no more than
two children-one male and one female.
The father and mother study to have a
perfect child. We have now young man
and woman studying our philosophy for a
year preparatory to marrying each other.
Miss Undka Fyffe is to marry Richard
Wunder.
THE married ones of our colony will
not live senarateIv from the other man
bers This induces slavery, and we do
not believe in that. We have the men
and women in separate parts of the colony"

SHAW GOING TO ST. LOUIS.
Expected to Enter Mississippi Valley
Trust Company.

ST. LOUIS, February 7.-Leslie NJ Shaw
who retires as Secretary of the Treasury
March 4, will, 1t is believed, become chair
man of the board of directors of the Missis-
sippi Valley Trust Company.
Negotiations between Mr.. Shaw and ST.
Louis bankers have been in progress sew
eral weeks, and from reliable sources it is
learned that Mr.. Shaw has virtually con-
cluded to become an officer Of the trust
company Officers of the Mississippi Valley
Trust Company deny the report, but the
fact that the stockholders at the annual
meeting Monday left two vacancies on the
board is taken to prove that Mr.. Shaw is
preparing to come to ST. Louis and is only
deferring the announcement of his plans.
The news that the Secretary of the Treas
ury was about to come to st. Louis has
stirred financial circles deep.y.
The bylaws were amended so as to in
crease the members Of the executive COM
mittee from seven to nine. This committee
will include the chairman of the board, the
president, the vice presidents and five d.
rectors.
The two vacancies in the board of direc-
tors will be filed, probably within the next
