Will Begin Wrccking Federal

Early Fall.

Four propositions were made to the
government yesterday for temporary
post office and United States courts
quarters, and one of these VIII prob
ably be accepted to-day by Charles h.
kemper, assistant supervising architect,
who came here from Washington Tues
day to conclude negotiations
Work will begin on wrecking the
present Federal and Shafer buildings
about October LIST, and the contract
for the new government structure IN
Richmond will be let soon after. Tenn
porary quarters for government uses
must be ready before this time, and
no available building suitable for
post-ohce has been found in Richmond
The four propositions pending before
Mr.. Kemper are:
1. From Mr.. o. J. Sands, TO erect n
building MT the southeast corner OF
Franklin and Seventh Streets.
=. From Sands q Gum, to erect &
building on the site of the Park Hotel
2. From II. ID. Eithelbcrger, 10 erect
n building at the southwest corner OF
Eighth and Franklin Streets.
4. From the Y. VI. c. A, to erect n
building Mt Sixth and Main Streets.
Must Decide Matter To-day.
Mr.. Kemper said last night that he
had given all parties twenty four
hours in which to complete their speci,
flcatIons and MAZE their offers in
writing. He expects to conclude his
work here to-day and make his recon-
mendations to the department, which
will be practically final, on Friday.
The government will not erect this
temporary building" said Mr.. Kemper.

rent II building suited to oil: needs,
say. for three years. We would much
prefer to keep all the government
offices together, If suitable building
can be secured
Mr.. kcmper said that the government
would require a three or fouc-story
building, with 1900 or $1,000 square
feet Of space 'on the first floor for the
rost-o(fice. The upper floors need not
be deliberately fitted, and might be so
arranged as 10 allow the building 10

after the occupancy OF the govern
rnent.

Since the building must be ready for
del..ory by october LIST, It will re-
u.ire the most rapid construction pos
sitlc.
Should the plan to have a joint
building for all the Federal offices fall
through, there VIII probably be large
one-story building erected for the post
office. of an even more temporary char
scter than is now proposed, and the
courts and revenue Offices would have
to find quarters elsewhere.

accommodated in the Grace Street an

of the Jefferson has also been con-

Great Singer Was Charming.

Last nights concert gave to many
in the audience their first opportunity
to hear the great Calve--for great she
still IS, in spite of the years that have
come and gone since she fist became
famous. Her piquant charm of manner
and her fascinating dramatic ability
are undimmed, and her wonderful art
enables her in great measure to con-
ceal the ravages time has wrought in
her beautiful voice.
OF course, to hear the diva without
glimpse Of Carmen" would be out
of the question, and so a small part
of the second act was given, in which

beauty. Mr. Dabney is always well
come and always magnetic, but as a
work Of art the Carmen scene was
not an entire success. 1t was, indeed,
very disappointing to those who have
heard the great singer In her prime,
but nothing could have been moro ar
tistic or more delightful than her sing
ing OF the Gounod songs, "Seance de

welcome "Chantez, rieZ, dormez," and

Elavorlna Tobacco.

Nearly all tobaccos are doctored in
various ways In order to suit the tastes
Of different consumers. Each manu-
facturer-even in Havana-has his own
secret methods, handed down from IA
ther to son, which are regarded as per-
iectly legitimate and necessary in the
preparation Of the soothing weed. Salt
peter is added to the tobacco to make
1t burn well, llcorice, honey, molasses
and maple sugar to give sweetness to
1t for the special benefit Of chewers
and rum to make 1t keep well and pre-
serve its properties. Nearly every
plant which will afford perfume is
used In the preparation Of what are
known as fancy tObaccos. But 1t Is
not true, as some suppose, that opium
and deleterious drugs are employed,
save in few brands Of imported
Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes.
Among the flavors used are coffee, tea,
yalerian, lemon, orange, geranium,
Sassafras, thyme, anise, mint and Gin
namon. Gum and glycerln are Occa-
slonally employed to bind the tobacco
particles so that they shall not crumble
into dust. The various ingredients are
made into a kind Of sauce, into which
the tobacco leaves are dipped or with
which they are sprinkled. - London
