DUKES ADHERENCE
TO FORMAL|TY WILL.
PREVENT VISIT HERE
Connaught to Travel Incog-
nito, Hence He Can't Stop
at,Seat of Government.

That the proposed visit OF the Duke
and Duchess Of Connaught and their
daughter. the Princess Patricia, to this
country Is unofficial. and that the men,
bers Of the royal family will travel in
cognito. is the explanation made at the
Department OF State OF. the fact that
tie visitors will not visit Washington.
Were the visit official 1t would be
necessary, under the terms OF diplo-
matte courtesy, for the Duke Of Con-
naught to call at the seat OF govern
ment. Travelling unoricially he may
visit where he pleases.
At the British embassy It was denied
that either official or unofficial informa-
ton had been received, the embassy
being familiar with the projected visit
only through newspaper informat ton.
No explanation was attempted of the
proposed avoidance of Washington by
the royal travellers.
A London dispatch says that "the
Duke Of Connaught has the reputation
of always doing the right thing, and
people here refuse to believe that he is
now making a mistake" =
The nonoffioial character of the visit
clears the Duke of Connaught of a
charge OF failing to live up to his repu-
tation of always doing the right thing -

Patent Shoe Polish
May Be Softened

Even when they come In those con-
venient ''self-opening'' boxes, the pol
ishes for patent leather and other shoes
which are put UP in the form OF paste
backing have an extravagant fashion
OF drying into hard, crumbly Jumps
soon after the box has first been opened.
Water has no effect on them, as they
are of entirely different material from
the oid-fashioned shoe blackening
PASTE"
In one family several boxes of the
patent kind. with contents but partly
used. had been thrown away as entirely
useless before the house-mother, assert
ing that the aforesaid polishing pastes
with high-sounding names were much
the same as the ''turpentine and bees
wax" used In her youth, tried setting
q discarded box on q warm radiator.
In few minutes the contents had soft
ened into one mass. which was In con-
dition for use without delay. In trying
this method. care should always be
taken not to risk any chance of over
heating or possible contact with fame,
as the materials OF which the paste Is
made are highly infammable, and a
few moments inattention might easily
result in a sudden and dangerous blaze.

APPROPRIATION FOR
BUILDING PROPERTY
Commissioners Send Favor
able Report to Congress
D. on Hepburn Bill.

Recommending that the appropriation
be increased from SO, O,0O0, 900 to $13. ia. 900.
the Commissioners today sent to Con-
gress a favorable report on the bill in
troduced by Senator Hepburn of Idaho,
authorizing the purchase of the squares
south Of Pennsylvania avenue and north
of the Mall, between First and Four
teenth streets northwest, as a site for
the erection Of public buildings for the
Federal Government.
The acquisition of these squares Is In
with the report of the Nc
MILAN park commission. in which it is
stated "the area between Pennsylvania
avenue and the Mall should be re-
claimed from its preesnt use by locating
within that section important public
buildings"
these squares gives the true value OF
the land at $l31l4,000 From this, II
would appear. the Commissioners say,
that II IL doubtful whether an appro-
preparation OF $40. .OO0. 900 is sufficient, and
they recommend that 1t be increased.
The bill provides that the entire cost
shall be paid by the United States.
Condemnation proceedings are author
ized in the event Of failure to agree
upon the price OF the land.
