Changes to Be Extensive.

As disbursing officer of the federal
government Mr.. Evans said he would
direct the disbursement of the $350.000
appropriated by Congress last session
for reconstruction of the city hall.
This structure, when rebuilt. he said,
will not be recognized as the same
building, although it will retain it's
present colonial lines. 1t will be faced
with Indiana limestone, and will be
equipped with every modern conven-
fence and facility.
The speaker reminded the audience
that the city hall had been the scene
of stirring incidents in the nations
history; it was here that great polit-
ical debates were staged; that the
mayor of the District and the board of
aldermen and common council had their
offices from 1885 to 1874.
And who would believe" asked Mr..
Mccarthy, when Mr.. Evans had con-
cluded. that lottery scheme was
the city hall?"

Mr.. Mccarthy then recounted the de-
who held the ticket for the capital
prize of $4,000 was a resident of AL

to a friend before the drawing came

missed a chance to get such a large
sum of money suit was instituted to

according to the speaker, never was
paid.

ried home as much as $4,000 of the
