FINISH PLANS
FOR REMODELING BUILDINGS
Bank Building at 9TH and Streets and New HON
for Dr.. Walter Harlan to Undergo Changes
Views Expressed ythe President.

When the plans that have been ap-
proved by the directors of the Dime Saw
ings Bank for the remodeling and inn
provement of the building at the north
east corner of 7th and E streets are car
ried out, it will hardly be possible to rec
ognize anything familiar about the exte-
rior appearance of the building. In other
words, according to the drawings pre-
pared by Appleton P. Clark. architect, the
old structure is going to be entirely
changed, SO as to adapt it for the use of
the bank and also make it better suited
for office purposes. The iron front when
put in was probably regarded as the
highest attainment in structural work,
to say nothing Of artistic beauty. But
iron fronts do not look as beautiful to
this generation, and besides this particu-
lar one has done service for a good many
years. II is to give way to brick. 1t is
expected that the bank will be in its
new quarters early next fall.
DIR. Harban's Residence.
The residence of the late Judge Nc
CGmas, now the property of DIR. Walter
Harlan. at the northwest corner of Wyo-
ming street and Connecticut avenue, is
being remodeled and changed, in accord
ance with plans prepared by A. B. Null
lett & Co., architects. The principal
change in the exterior will be the removal
Of the mansard roof and the tower at
the corner.
A portico OF brick and stone will replace
the one on the wyoming street front and
there is to be retaining wall along the
wide frontage on Connecticut avenue. On
the west side an addition will be built
which will be used as billiard room.

Burning Judas.
From the London Chronicle.

FROM the LONDON Chronicle
Holy Saturday I'm Mexico is devoted to
the vilification of Judas Iscariot. On Good
Friday morning booths are erected in ev-
cry part of Mexico City for the sale of
the most grotesque effigies of the betray
er. and these are bought by persons OF
all ages and both sexes. The city on the
following day is transformed into a vast
place OF executions. Ropes stretch across
the streets from house to house. and from
every rope hangs an atroctouSy ugly Ju-
das, filled with straw and gunpowder.
The inhabitants devote the morning hours
to hurling curses and insults at these
images. but the cursing ceases a few min
utes before IL O'Clock, and the crowds
line up the streets. and listen for the
MONDAY chimes. AS soon as the cathe-
dral bells ring out, the images are torn
down amid frantic yels and cast into bon-
fires. There they exploded. and each ex-
plosion IL greeted with renewed curses.

| lures of that scheme, such as the use of
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue
from the Botanic Garden to 18th street
for the location of buildings which may
be needed for the use Of the government
in this city, as well as connecting the
Mall with Rock Creek Park and a drive
way extending about the original limits
of the city received his Endorsement
In sense the speech marked a point
in the history of the movement for the
betterment of the city, and 1t Is said that
from this time on the carrying out of the
plan will depend on the condition of the
national Treasury, and as funds are avail
able the various portions of the important
scheme will be executed.
View Point Of Property Holders.
1t is important to know that certainty
to that extent may be felt in regard to
this use of property, and while the exact
time will remain in doubt, yet owners OF
property and business men generally will
be able to determine on their course. II
would be folly, of course, to conclude
because it is regarded as settled that some
time the government is going to take all
the property for its own use within such
wide area as Indicated that no use can
be made of any holdings in that section
from now on.
In the event the property is thus
taken the owners will be raid while for
those who lease there will be buildings I'm
other localities where business can be
carried on as usual. At the present time
some owners of property i'm that locality
have provided for the contingency of the
taking or their holdings for the use of the
public and have secured interests else
where.
Patience Is Needed.
In the meanwhile the rents are sum
cient to carry the property as invest
OAnfS and co n iS ,acSihfa tn ou,aif DO
velopments with patience. The latter is
what is needed in the case of the pro-
posed public improvements in this city.
1t fs great mistake to conclude that
because a measure is proposed that il is
equivalent to It's enactment into law 1t
may be many years before the plan is
carried out.

Rose berry and the Butler.
rom the London Chronicle

From the London ChfOhlcIe.
A ''Quioxtic" incident in the life Of the
late Earl of Rosebery is recalled By the
interest reused by his grandson Lord
Dabeny's marriage. Sixty years ago the
Lord Rosebery of that time was in Paris.
and I'm paying a call one day he was re-
ceived SO rudely by the butler that he
complained to his friend of the servant s
conduct. The butler was Immediately
dismissed. But he had been a non-ccr m
missoned officer In the French army and
as such he challenged Lord Rosebery to

duel. The earl accepted. and two shots
were exchanged without result
But Lord Rosebery was angered at his
own condescension and afraid his antago-
mist might lay aside his military rank
and resume his duties as a servant. thus
exposing an earl to the reproach of hav-
Ing fought with a butler. So he settled
an annuity of ESQ on the man on condi-
ton he did not return to domestic service.
The condition was faithfully observed on
both sides. and when the ex-butler soldier
died, about twenty years ago. the story
was told In the French papers. And
when humanity's accounts are made up.

What is a "trantelope?" 1t is the abb

In Defense of "Old Mafcs.o

From the World and HIS Wife.
"Old maids" are accused of being prim
and narrow-minded, yet everything in the
life of the "old maid" of. today. tends
to make her just the opposite. The very
fact that she has to fight her own battles
and do her best to see both sides of an
argument makes her far more broad
minded and tolerant than the average
married woman.
