WAS srANplNo 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 a letter Of about that date
she refers to the town as "only city
in na1ne-here and there small cot
without a glass window interspersed
among the forests"
Not far from the White House, how
ever, on the very site of the present
building was 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
so 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
hedepartment, which had been brought
over from Philadelphia, were de-
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 its
files and archives Rebuilt in 1917, 1t
was burned again in 1888, and this led
in 1886 to an appropriation of money
by congress for a new building.
This new building, which was fin
ished in 1912 at a cost of $661,000
stands to-day. 1t is the one that is
now about to be torn down-at al
events, the whole front of it.

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

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 a 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 f1utter.
He is known in the official records as
Vincent Alfred Guillaume Marie
Gabriel, prince of Windisch-Graetza and
Baron de Waldstein, and he will in
herit from his father other high-sound-
ing titles. The prince belongs to a
mediatized family of Austria, and,
though he may marry royalty, he is
not compelled to do so. It may be
he would like wife such as his friend,
Count Szechenyi, has won.
Prince Vincent is Is years old, 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.

Had to Give Up Decoration.

About four years ago 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.
gress 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 a 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 upon them
personally for some special act or
occasion. I must therefore request
you to return 1t to your brother"

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.


Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather. to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness Of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear we'll.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be we'll
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb.
solute test for purity. National Lead

In Iowa, the cities of Des MONIES and
Cedar Rapids have voted to adopt the
commission plan of government. A
special election has been ordered III
Sioux City for Jan. u and a like cleo
ton will be held in Davenport tomor-
row to vote on the proposition to adopt
the plan. If the voters of these cities
shall approve it, then four of the five
largest cities in Iowa will select their
commissioners, or municipal governors
and administrators, at the spring cleo
ton, nominating them first in a non
partisan primary. The Telegraph-Her-
aid says mo movement has yet been
started in Dubuque with the purpose
of applying the plan here, one reason
being that the commissioners would
displace the present board of water
works trustees, which citizens do not
want displaced, al least not until they
have by their wise and honest man
agement demonstrated what the peo
pie have a right to expect in gross and
net earnings of the plant, and also be
cause there is a disposition to await
the results of the plan in the cite:

The Difference Between the ScOun-
dreI and the Criminal


The vast difference that occasionally
arises between technical law and the
interests of public morals and decency,
10 say nothing of the ends of common
justice, has again been demon
strated in the ruling of the California
court of appeals in the San Francisco
graft cases. The district court of APP
peals there has handed down Il de-
cision setting aside the judgment in
the case of former Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz, convicted of eXtortion in the
French restaurant case. Abe Ruef
also benefits by the ruling of the up
per court, for. according to its de-
cision, he pleaded guilty to an act that
was no offense against the laws of the
state. According to the appellate
judges the compelling of the French
restaurants TO pay fees" to Abe Ruef
was not crime, even though Ruef di-
vided the fees" with the mayor. AT
ter discussing the point the court re-
versed the judgment against Schmitz
on the ground that no acts constituting
a crime have been proved against him.
Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty to eX-
tOrting money from the French res
taurants. is therefore equally guiltless.
Here was an instance where the ac-
.cUsed plead guilty of the crime alleged
and the offense complained of. They

upon the case as helping to establish

defense to make use of it.

The Rock Island council has during
the past year, as the public is well
