DEMOL|SH|NG OLD
MISSION BUILDING
Central Union Organization to
Have Modern Seven
Story Home.

The old six-story building of the
Central Union Mission at 629 Louis
lana avenue is being rapidly demol-
ished, preparatory to building a new
seven-story fireproof structure for
the mission and the Mary Farr Perry
Memorial Emergency Home for Chill
dren.
The new structure will virtually be
two buildings, as il will consist of
two wings. one wing fronting on
Louisiana avenue and the other 'front.'
ing on G street. which will be con-
ed into huge screened glass-inclosed
playground for the children The
Louisiana avenue wing will be for
the children's home and the c street
wing will be for the mission proper.
The building, it is said. will be a mod
ern up-to-da structure. the only one
of the kind ever built for mission pur-
poses in the United States.
Damaged by Fire.
Some few years ago the old build
ing was considerably damaged by
fire, since which time il has been
considered unsafe and was inada-
quate for the purposes Of the missio n.
The mission purchased this building
some time in the early eighties, and
the mission at that period. The mis-
sion carried on its work there until
June so of this year. when it vacated
the premises and secured temporary
quarters at 432 and 434 10th street
northwest, where it will carry its
work until the completion of the new
building, which will be about July
next year.
The old building has been used as a
hotel, city post office and United
States pension office at different
periods. At the time it was built.
during the civil war, il was named
the Seaton House. and was considered
at that time "a first-class hotel, but
competition from large hotels on
Pennsylvania avenue nearby caused
its owner to close up after about
twelve years. BY this time next week
this old landmark will have disap-
peared, and the immediate construc-
ton OF the new building will be under
way.

Like Boy on Vacation
Mr.. Harding approaches Alaska
with the ioyousncss of a boy going
to the country for vacation. If ever
a president enjoyed trip, Mr.
Harding is that one. He is a glut-
ton for punishments, his close
friends in the party say, and has
amazed everybody by the extent to
which he has submitted to the i'm
portunities of local committees to
make additional speeches and shake
additional hands. He beams through
it all. Only once or twice has his
good humor appeared to desert him
and then it was only for moment.
He has arisen at $50 to speak
and has stayed up until 1880 to
greet two crowds from. the back
platform. He has promised him
self and Mrs. Harding that he will
rest on the sea trip to Alaska.
The Henderson s sailing schedule,
however, gives little promise of rest.

plans contemplate several stops on
the way up the Alaskan coast. The
definite schedule was to be an

when, after having been introduced
by Governor Pierce of Oregon as
William G. Harding. he urged Amer
icanization and called for the de-
portation or Imprisonment Of all
who would break down American
institutions. He called attention te
the fact that for the first time in
history a contingent of armed Brit
ish sailors from the cruiser Curlew,
anchored in Portland, took part in
an American Independence Day
parade. The commanding officer of
this detachment sat in the stand and
heard the Declaration of Independ
ence read. He took with smiling
grace its tart references to King
