Had to Give Up Decoration,

About four years ago a prominent
army officer was sent abroad to wit.
ness some army maneuvers. After
they were over he was decorated by
the foreign government, but until con.
gross gave him permission to accept
the distinction he could not wear the
order. His sister, we'll known in
Washington society, saw the order
and admired it very much, so she
calmly wore it at public reception,
and then at numerous dinners. One
day the ambassador who represented
the country which had conferred the
decoration upon her brother called
upon her. After a few minutes con-
versation he preached the errand that
brought him there
Madam he said, courteously. II
have called upon rather delicate mat
ter. My government has been in.
formed that you are wearing the dec
grafton given to your brother. Such
an order is never worn by men or
women unless conferred Epon, them
personally for some special act or
occasion. l must therefore request
you to return it to your brother"

WASHINGTON TO HAVE PRINCE.
Austria Sends Scion Of Ancient Line
as Military Attache.

Austria has come to the rescue of
the American capital, says the New
York Press. In the new year assign
ments to the embassy are prince, a
count and a baron, all bachelors and
belonging to the old ariStOCracy.
Counts and barons are rather common,
but the prince may cause a futter.
He is known in the official records as
Vincent Alfred Guillaume Maria
Gabriel, prince of Windisch-G raetz and
Baron de Waldstein, and he will in
herit from his father other high-sound-
ing titles. The prince belongs to a
medatiZed family of Austria, and,
though he may marry royalty, he is
not compelled to do so. 1t may be
he would like wife such as his friend,
Count Szechenyi, has won
Prince Vincent is Is years DID, and
Is described as one of the representa-.
tive aristocrats of his generation. He
figures merely as an honorary attache
on the Austro-Hungarian embassy
staff, and that will leave him free to
follow his social bent. The family
owns large estate in the Syrian
mountains, long famous for game and
for historic hunting parties. It has
fine houses in Vienna and Prague
and superb chateau in Tachau.

WAS STANDING IN 1900
Wooden Structure Then Occupied Site
Of Treasury Department.

The great seat of government was
moved from Philadelphia to Washing
ton in 1900. When. in the, autumn of
that year, Abigail Adams, the first
mistress of the White House, took
up her residence in that historical
dwelling, her Impressions OF the ma
tional capital were decidedly unfavor-
able. In letter Of about that date
she refers to the town as "only city
in name-here and there a small cot
without glass window interspersed
among the forests"
Not far from the White House, how
ever on the very site of the present
building, was a wooden structure, then
newly finished, which was occupied
by the treasury. department.
This wooden building, which faced
Fifteenth street, was three stories
high, but Of such inadequate size that
50 clerks who at that time composed
the fiscal staff of the government, did
not find comfortable room in it. On
which account the official records of
thedepartment, which had been brought
over from fNlldQelpuld, were Ue-
posted in Sears store, near by, where
they were partly destroyed by fire
soon afterward, many priceless histori-
cal documents being thus lost.
The structure occupied by the treas
ury was itself partly burned in 1901,
and IS years later was entirely wiped
out by fire, together with most Of it's
files and archives. Rebuilt in 1917, it
was burned again In 1888, and this led
in 1885 to an appropriation of money
by congress for a new building.
This new building, which was fin
fshed in 1912 at a cost of $661,0 900,
stands to-day. 1t is the one that is
now about to be torn down-at all
events, the whole front of it.

Pillars for Treasury Department

A dozen Or fifteen monolithic pillars
have already been quarried out at
Milford, N. HIS and made ready for
shipment to Washington, for use on
the new front of the treasury depart
ment. So huge are they that the task
of getting them out and shipping them
by water might fairly be termed spec
tacular.
The pillars for the north, south and
west porticos, constructed during the
COS, are, each a little over 33 feet
high and weigh so tons.
1t is a matter of Importance that
the granite used for the present pur-
pose should match that Of the rest
of the treasury building. Such granite,
it seems, is found only in New Eng
land, but there are Quarries of it in
various places in that part of the coun-
try, and the material from Milford
corresponds closely to that from Dix
Island.

Ex-senator Popular at CAPITAL,

Ex-senator Stewart of Nevada, de-
spite his long white beard and his
83 years of life, is still as erect and
as sturdy a specimen of manhood as
one could wish to see. He is fre-
quently seen on the floor of the senate,
being a resident of Washington, chat
ting with old friends and meeting new
ones, and there are few persons
around the capitol who do not know
him well.

Mike Shanley KiIIe d

Memphis, Tenn, April 21-"Mike"
Stanley, whose reputation as ''bad"
man is more than Statewide, met the
usual fate of 'bad'' men tonight.
While resisting arrest he was shot
down by detective Thomas Shea, who
at the time was accompanied by
patrolman T. J. Crawford.
The police had orders to bring in
Stanley for his work yesterday, when
he beat up Fred A. Fellows, of Chi
cago. Fellows and friend had en-
joyed a day at Shanley's roadhouse
and toured the city in an automobile,
with frequent stops for refreshments.
Finally at one of these stops an argu-
ment arose, and Stanley drew his
pistol, beating Fellows into insensi-
bility. Fellows, who is supervising
on the new Courthouse, is so
badly injured that he has not stirred
from his hotel to-day.
