A TEMPLE FOR RELICS
S10e. 900 Building to Be Erected on
George Washington Estate.

Alexandria. Va. Feb. 23.-Mem-
bers of the George Washington Ma
tional Memorial association left for
their homes today after selecting a
site for the proposed memorial which
is TO take the form of a magnificent
temple Tor housing relics and pictures
of Washington.
It will be erected on the crest of
Shooters hill. where the capitol of
the United States would have been
built. historians relate, but lor the
modesty of Washington. who feared
that it might be possibly suspected
that an effort was being made to en-
nance the value of his real estate
holdings south of the Potomac The
temple is to cost 100000, most of
which has been raised

building for an ice-skating rink
Our auditorium at present seats
little over 5000 persons. 1 would pre-
fer that the new one seat only 5000,
with wider seats and more room in
the aisles- Topeka must have a suit
able auditorium and it IS of the Ut
most importance that we should hold
that supremacy and conditions are
favorable If we only make use of
them
The location of our auditorium and
city jail are admirable, considering
the uses for which they are respective
ly designed While voting bonds for
rebuilding the auditorium a sum of
say $4,000 dollars should be included
to enlarge the Jail, ample ground for
such enlargement being now owned by
the city. The manner in which we
treat our prisoners. the innocent. the
unfortunate, and those more or less
guilty is disgrace to our city, and a
reminder of the way in which the in
sane and those charged with crimes
were allowed to rot or be devoured
by vermin in the dungeons of the
dark ages. NORRIS l. GAGE
