It has a frontage, including the tower projec- tion, of sixty-three feet on I street,and with the chapel extends back 120 feet on 3d street. Upon the southwest corner of the building is a graceful spire, whose height from the ground The interior wood-work of the ehureh Is of yellow pine with cherry trimmings, There are five handsome double windows on each side, of rolled cathedral glass. Five rafters, firty feet long cach, and resting on carved stone work, show from below. The distance trom the floor to the apex of the roof is sixty-three feet. THE INTERIOR. The floor slopes towards the pulpit at an in- cline of one inch toeach row ofseats. The old fashioned pew has been discarded. The seats are comfortable chairs, their backs being con- nected so that trom th= rear they have the ap- pearance of pews. The seats are hinged so that they can be raised or lowered, and under each seat is a rack where the occupant may deposit his hat. The aisles radiate trom the pulpit, and the seats a arranged in semi-circular rows rising one behind the other in the style of an amphitheater. Seven hundred seats have been provided, but if occasion requires the seating Capacity Of the chureh can be largely inereased by closing aisles now lett open, and filling up ee es at the side of the puipit. Instead of par- utioning off a vestibule a space has been divided off from the main portion of the church by means of tapestry curtains. If necessary these | curtains can be rolled back, and the auditorium considerably enlarged. In the rear of the pulpit is the chapel, where the congrezution has wor- shiped for several years. A door has been made connecting the chapelwith the main auditorium, and the large windows belind the pulpit can be opened so that the two auditoriums can be made practically Into one. This chapel, whieh Is 36 by 58 tect, hus seating capacity for 350 people. In the construction and arrangementof the church especial care has been bestowed upon the details contributing to the comfort of the congregation. Instead of leaving all the space to the apex of the roof open. a ceiling has been made crossing a few fect below the apex, whieh arrangement, It is claimed, has yreat acoustic ‘At the southeast corner of the cbureb, near the main entrance, is a retiring room provided with all conveniences. The lansof the building were drawn by W. H. Idwin, and it was erected under the general supervision of Mr. J. H. McGill. The entire cost Of the new portion, exclusive of lot and chapel, Will be less than $25,000, which sum, in view of the completeness, comfort and beauty of the building, is considered by the congregation as marvelously small. Many churehes that have cost over $50,000 are inferior to the new Cen- tral chureh in these respects. GIFTS TO THE CHURCH.

Rev. Dr. Pitzer, the founder and pastor of the church, a native of Virginia and a graduate of the Danville seminary, or- ganized and was pastor of the First Presbyte- rian church, Leavenworth, Kansas. During the war he was in the south und served as mision- ary fo the Army of the Tennessee. When he came to this city, In January, 1868, hie f that a number ot persons had been cai considering the practicability of organizing a urch in Which all Presbyterians, of whatever locality, party or persuasion, might find a eburch home. The enactments of the General Assembly then excluded from communion members in the southern states unless they re- nounced their political error. The central chureh was not organized in antagonism to any of the churches of this city, and since Its org: ization the most cordial reiations have existed between it and its sister Presbyterian churches here, In January, 1868, a few Presbyterians deter- mined on an “appointment for public worship January 19th, at whieh Dr. Pitzer was invited to officiate, to’ be held in the Columbia Law building, 5th street. between D and E north- west, th ental ot which was guaran teed’ by Gen. 1 1s Ewing. This building had been the old Trinity chureh, and used us such until the completion of their present edi- | fice at the corne: ind 3d streets. After its purchase by Columbia college it served as FoR ent edifice,and then for the Congregational church until they took possession of their com- modious structure corner of G and 10th streets northwest. ‘THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. May 31st, 1868, after a sermon by Rev, Dr. T. V. Moore, of Richmond, Va., moderator of the general assembly, south, the following persons | were organized by Rev. Dr. Pitzer into the Cen- | trul Presbyterian ehureh, with Gen. John M. | MecCalla and Dr. O. M. Muncaster ‘as ruling elders: Mrs. Susan M. Burch, Dr. Bedford Krown, Mrs. Mary E. Brown, Mr,Wm. G.

Whitwell, Mra Jane Wade and’ Miss Eroma Wade. ‘The little band at once inaugurated the selection and purchase of a building site. At the head and prominent in the labor were Mrs, Ellen Adair Beatty, whose contributions, from time to time, aggregated $2,000, and Miss: Mary E. Coyle. BUILDING THE CHAPEL. Ry November, 1871, a lot had been selected, and In the following December it was pur- chased for the sum of $8,676.80. It fronted 58 fee! on T,and 140 feet on 3d street, and was selected with a view to the prospective growth of the city in that region. Preparations were at once made for erecting a chapel. Ground was broken July 2d, 187: and the building was dedicated January 191i 1873, Just five years ufter the first service the Law building. ‘The chapel cost $8,000, of which $600 was contribu by the Franklin street and Franklin square churches In Bualti- more. ‘The church has grown steadily in influence and membership, and at last outgrew the chapel, in which it had a pleasant home for muny years, and it became necessary to erect the commodious church building, which willbe dedicated to-morrow. The church revenues for itll objects are derived trom offerings each Sab- bath. There are no pew rents, no subscriptions, fairs, festivals, or excursions. The record of the Central church in its temporal relations has been quite an enviable one. It is the boast of its members that no person with whom the church has had business transactions has had to wait five minutes for his money after it was due. From the outset congregational singing has been a teature of the church service. THE PRESENT MEMBERSHIP. The church membership now numbers 170 and the congregation abont 400.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE STRUCTURE IN THE SMITHSONIAN GROUNDS AS IT WILL APPEAR WHEN COMPLETED—ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE LIBRARY, THE PENSION RECORDS AND THE MUSEUM, On the third of March, 1885, Congress made an appropriation of $200,000 to be expended under the Secretary of War, jor the erection, complete, of a fire-proof bullaing for the library, pension records, and museum of the surgeon general's office, U.S. army. This was $50,000 less than the estimates for a chaste bullaing of suffictent size for the Indicated purposes were, and hence the plans had to be rearranged. The small back building in the court-yard was omitted in the advertisement, but beyond that the dimensions could be but slightly curtailed; hence, the exterior of the building had to be kept in plain forms, devoid of ornamentation and decorative appendages, the effect being reached by grouping the walls, roofs, sky-lines and fenestrations, composing the different parts of the building, in a manner, unobjectionable on esthetical grounds and pleasant to the exes, and by using a limited quantity of ornamentet terra cotta, Since before many years the exigencies of the service will requirea duplication of the front }-- 55 Feot——- PLAN OF THE bullding on the rear ofthe present building, a more imposing main front mag then be secured under more favorable circumstances, The cuts ublished with this article give views of the Butiding as it will appear when completed, and of the general arrangement of the second floor. ‘A contract, secured by aheavy bond, has made with Messrs.

The molded work and the cornices consist of pressed brick and terracotta, The floors of first story are constructed of brick arches be- tween rolled iron beams, the floors above are formed of flat arches, built of hollow bricks be- tween rolled beams, The roots of the center building are constructed similar to the floors, but of lighter material, the roots of the wings are trussed, und constructed also of rolled iron. ‘They are filled in with light, -porous, hollow. terra cotta biocks, which are cemented on and form the substratum of metal cover! | The floors of the office rooms are finished with wooden flooring on sleepers imbedded In the concrete; those of basement, library and mu- |scum have finished Portland cement. flours, The corridors are laid with encaustic tile.

The base ‘meut walls of the building are mostly up, and the first tler of iron beams wiil be laid before the close of the season.
