of stars and plays. but almost without
any stages to put them on they started
two years ago the campaign Of building
which has resulted in so many handsome
playhouses being erected in all parts of
the country.

DIGGERS FIND QUEER RELICS.
Coins and China Plate in Excava-
tiOn for New Building.

AAOh NEW
The excavations for the thirty-one
story annex to the Whitehall building in
West street have unearthed a number of
relics of New York's colonial days. The
first Of these to come to light was en-
umbrella handle dated 173. and in
scribed with the name of John Hale. The
finding Of number of Spanish coins
has been reported, but the dates could
not be ascertained, as the coins disap-
peared rapidly into the pockets OF the
labOrers. Some old blueware crockery,
reminiscent of Dutch New York, has been
dug up The latest find is the handle
of a pitcher in the shape of an attenu-
ated and elongated dachshund.
Sixty caissons were sunk for the foun-
dations and one Of the most interesting
finds was the cribbing of the old piers,
which evidently extended into the east
of what is now West street. Heavy
timbers, twelve by twelve, preserved by
being under water, were found, and a
heavy clay gourd-shaped vessel. which
the excavators take for building orna-
ment
The exterior of the building will be of
brick, limestone, and terra Gotta. Eight
million brick and ten thousand tons of
steel viii be used in the construction. The
whole job viii be finished in about nine
months.
The f1reprOofing has been a matter of
especial care. All the floors, partitions.
and column coverings will be of hollow
terra Gotta tile, which wen. through
1900 degrees of heat in the process of
manufacture; 10000 feet of this tile viii
be used for the flooring alone and many
thousands more for the partitions and
column coverings. The windows will
have freproof kaiamein sashes. copper
covered, and all OF the woodwork will
be carefully freproofed. The twenty
nine electric elevators viii be inclosed
in wire-glass.
The building viii be 3S7 feet high, not
counting the engine room excavation

ton that the seating capacity of this

vention church, Calvary Baptist, at

vlded. and the First Congregational
Church, at Tenth and G streets, has been
secured.

giving much Of its attention TO arranging

most of the churches of Washington in

opportunity of seeing and hearing as
many as possible Of the noted persons

ices will each be addressed by a foreign
missionary and by some prominent sun
day school worker, who will picture child
life in heather lands and the problems
OF Christian chlld-training. In addition e
these evening meetings, there will be held
at o'clock on Sunday afternoon. a chill
dren's service in ten different churches in
different parts of the city
Then, in ten adjacent churches. a SINH
lar service will be held for adults at 4
o'clock These will be in the nature OF
conservation meetings. Each will be in
charge of some one especially qualified to
lead such meetings, BY these means the
general body Of the churches are sought
to be brought into touch with the life
and spirit Of the worlds convention.

The expression "a natures gentleman"

would be for royalty, though she would
show her thought in a different fash

brusquo, rough woman who confounds
a pleasant manner OF speaking with
insincerity Is greatly to be pitied. for
she has thrown away her scepter and
