ARCHITECT FRERET’S REPORT. Why Outsiders Were Employed—Skilled Architects Wanted. The supervising architect of the Treasury has just completed a report of the operations of his office for the calendar year 1888. Hesays that whatever views may be entertained in re- gard to the wisdom ef including the great body of the force in the supervising architect's office within the civil-service rules and regulations, it isapparentto him that a small corps of skilied architects, whose services are for the efficient administration of the work of the office, should be exempt from their opera- at THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY,“FEBRUARY 25, 1889.

There was a party of gentlemen seated in the brilliantly lighted arcade of the Armstrong the other night discussing Washington city, the inauguration of President-elect Harrison, and various public men. Finally one of them re- marked: “I believe if a delegation of Romans would go to Senator Joe Brown and tell him they wanted a government appropriation of 2300.- 000 ects open the Coosa river to the Guif of Mexico he would get it. I know that he has as great in as any man in Washington city. A year or two was in Washington for a many weeks trying to get a frieud of mine @ government position. ie Was a smart and capable fellow and I wanted a $125 per month position for him. I knew a good many Con- gressmen and Senators and tried in vain to get my friend a place. I knew Senator Vest very well, and I said to him one day that I did not see why he could not get the position for my friend. He replied: “Oh, —— it, I drink too much and play cards toomuch. Are you from Georgia?’ “I replied yes, that it was my native state, He then continued: “Well, you go to see Joe Brown and tell him where you are from and what you want. He will get a position for your friend. If there is = vacant he will make a new office for “I went to see Senator Brown, explained things to him, and he told me to call next day and he id see if he could get my friend a ition. I kept the e: ment for the next ‘y. aud when I called Senator Brown told me had @ position for my friend on the inter- state commerce commission, with a salary of $150 per month. “Now, I'll tell you, if the people of Rome want to get that river ay lation they should get Joe Brown's influence. He could go before the committee on appropriations for rivers and harbors and get just what is on leper your friend?” was asked. “Oh, he’s got the position yet.” And the ‘Tribune reporter walked to the desk and took down the names of the arrivals, won- dering and building air castles about imperial Rome when her commerce was open to the Gulf of Mexico. ————+e0—____ Blaine’s Hand was In It.

Blaine figures in an interesting story, which developed here to-day. Mr. Zion Bridwell is a printer not less than seventy-five Fears old. About fifteen years ago he married Miss Mary Alford, and soon had the care of his mother-in-law, who is as old as himself, thrown upon his hands. Mr. Bridwell’s sight failed and he found the st le for existence a hard one. His mother-in-law was the widow of a veteran of the Indian war of 1836. Mr. Brid- well set to work to get @ pension from Congress for the old lady. ¢ has had the case before t ——— eleven years, but could never get the local congressman to push the matter energeti- our weeks ago Mr. Bridwell read a news- paper story concerning the pension which was rushed through for the daughter of Zachary Taylor. Mr. Blaine was Specker of the House af the time and casually met the and was made acquainted with her story as dl through oue of the committee-roome. He told the lady to wait until his return. He went into the House, called another member to the chair, asked for a suspension of the rules, and had the nsion passed at once. it across he it rushed through the Senate; then he had it signed, and inside of an hour returned to the lady and told her of his success. As soon as Mr. Bridwell read this story he went into eostacies and said: ‘There is man.” He =< oe te Mr. i ing him the tu! ry 0 poverty and in gettin; the pension throngh, and sheds w = for a poor, friendiess southern democrat what he had done for the daughter of an ex-Presi- dent.

Dr. Bliss in dress was s man of most refined taste, and his dress was always of the most costly kind, yet neat and simple in color and design. My recollection of him in summer time is that he almost always appeared in snowy white fabrics. During and after the + civil war was ended Dr. Bliss ~- most heartily in the measures of ublican party and was trusted and hot by almost the leaders of the party toa degree led by that enjoyed byany other professional man of his day. ‘His office was crowded by people of wealth and influence, and his pecuniary re- ceipts from his practice must have been very it for many years, and —. exceeded hose of any ster physician in Washington. His office being contiguous to mine, we met frequently in consultation, as years rolled and were thrown still more closely in cont by the great tragedy of the assassination of President Garfield, in 1881. THE SUMMONS TO GARFIELD’s SIDE. “On the 2d of July, 1881, while in my office, I received a hasty summons from him to come at once—that President Garfield had been shot. Being at first incredulous, I hesitated in going, but lly drove Potomat depot, and asI drove down Pennsyl- vania avenue I saw the multitude all with one accord ae to the depot; I realized that somethin, had happened. Hastening upstairs, 1 saw President eld lying ona mattress, hastily procured for his use, in the northeast corner of the room. He was deathly ie, almost —— and apparently dying ‘rom internal hemorrhage. Dr. Bliss was pres- ent, surrounded by a number of physicians, and was evidently recognized by all who were there asin full charge of the case. After awhile the President rallied, and it was deemed best, after consultation nce the physicians, to remove him to the White House. He was tenderly and carefully carried on the mattress to an ambu- lance that had been sent for, and slowly driven to the White House. ; I think I see now the sea of buman faces in and around the depot as we carried him down the stairs, with the mingled expressions of pity and consternation that was visible on each of them. How can I adequately describe the sad and weary eighty days that followed that fatal day. The dreadful heat of those summer days, pent up in that room, with the still more saltry, nights. It was enough to break our hearts to fight day after og Mae we felt (after the first few weeks) must inevitably be a prope greens Hoping inst hope, to keep up t courage of our illustrious ee tient by cheerful faces, when we felt each day the shadow of death drawing nearer and more near. ‘THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE CASE. “But there was another thing that added still more to ourcup of bitterness. It is a shame to have to speak of it, and yet the truth must be told. While President Garfield him- self relied bg weed —— Dr. Bliss, yet those nearer to the President failed to give Dr. Bliss the loyal support that he should have received. He was beset from without by bitter enemies and from within by faint-hearted and false friends. It is my deliberate conviction that the treatment of Dr. Bliss by Congress and the government of the United States was charac- terized by a depth of ingratitude unequaled in modern history. ButI must hasten to close this sad record. Dr. Bliss failed steadily in health the last few years, and those who knew him well saw that the end was drawing near. He was stricken with his third attack of paraly- sis February 20, 1889, and died the next day at 7:20 a.m. He was entirely unable to speak, yet showed that he knew those around him until an hour or two before his death. He could not lie down, and as he rested his head —— my shoulder, I thought with a bitterness heart too deep for tears how much his life had been spent for others and how little he had received in return. Tired and weary on the morning of his death, I had lain down to sleep, and was hastily summoned by his de- voted daughter to come, for a change was coming. ly it was a change, for the shadow of death was upon him. As we supported him a thrill like an electric shock through him and his spirit was with Him who gave it. Faithful, true-hearted and devoted friend, ‘farewell.’ ” —____ WHAT 18 BOULANGISM? A Critical View of the General’s Inco- herent Party. From the Boston Transcript. Boulangism in itself isa meaningless term. The Boulangist party is merely a group of political adventurers. It suits the present purpose of the great army of the dissatisfied to carry the general in triumpth wherever he solicits the suffrages of the people. But it is as a battering-ram that they are using him. When parliamentarism has been knocked to pieces Boulangism will melt like butter in the sun. It is impossible to believe that the French nation, which, like other nations, is only partly composed of fools, can be so irra- tional as to deliberately place a man like Bou- langer, who is simply a political char! | whose antecedents | flexibility of his cept his dictato: } wlous, from whic! means Tie lesnge of pombe hat ha age of republic, but ikely.

INTERESTS AND RENTS, The income from investments during the ear, while yielding a good margin for surplus, indicates the difficulty of finding quite as ready and satisfactory employment for money as in the previous year. ’ PROFITS ON SALES. In 1838 we sold for $775,762.44 real estate which cost us 689,670.29; a net profit of #86,- 15. This brings real estate sales to January 1, 1888,up to a grand total of $7,168,726.19 of prop- erty which cost us $6,330,458.87; a net-profit of $838,267.32. Of the twenty-eight parcels sold di the year twenty-six sold at a profit of $88,175.20, and two sold at # loss of €2,083.05—balance, $96,092.15. On bonds sold and paid at maturity during the year there was a net profit of #45,075.00; on sundry items there was a loss of @2,246.74; giv- ing a total income from profits and lows items of $128,920.41 1088. For the first time in its history of forth-three years the company has to record a loss by the default of one of its financial correspondents, a class of men through whom most of its loans are laced according to the general business cus- tom in such investments, and who are selected with exceptional care for the character and ability requisite for the most important and confidential relations which they hold; men who. except in this instance, have served this company with rare fidelity and success in all these years, to whose wisdom and faithful service much of the success of this company has been due. The amount chargeable to profit and loss from. this cause proves to be 448.01; deductiny the income from profit and loss above state the balance charged to profit and loss is $354,- 527.60. No credit is taken for the value of Property restored to us, nor will there be until it is realized by sale. During tbe time this money was being ab- stracted this correspondent handled correctly over $17,000,000, and possessed not only our own cofidence, but that of the business men of his own city and state in a very marked degree. His fitness was unqualifiedly indorsed by ceo at competent men who knew him inti- mately. To —, el Se the effect of this loss upon standing of the company and the safety of its contracts, it should be considered in its proportions, and not simply in its aggre- ate. That is smal! to one concern which is e to another. A bank with $1,000,000 of resources, of which 100,000 was surplus, could meet a loss of $10,000 without thought of injury to its credit. But less than what $10,000 is to such a bank. $484,000 is to a com- y with $57,500,000 of resources, and with 5,565,080 surplus remaining after the loss. It will not affect the company’s dividend. * The conditions which, apart from our entire confidence in the man, made this loss and its concealment ible were liar to the times in Indianapolis following the financial depression of the last decade, and the methods by which it was effected were skilifully framed out of those conditions. No such condition exists elsewhere, nor has since that period. It is probably needless to say that whatever les- sons as to methods there are in this matter will be properly applied. BONDS. During the year we have sold in order to save the premiums and have had paid off, bonds that had cost us $442,287.50. e have pur- chased bonds costing $1,492,040.25; making our holding at cost on Jan. 1, 1889, $9,840,575.34. The excellent character of these bonds will ap- pear from an inspection of the itemized schedule. REAL ESTATE LOANS. We have loaned during the year upon real estate security $5,794,170.46; loans have been ‘id off to the amount of $7,008,385.90, leav- ing the amount so invested #31,630,448.60. Con- cerning these we can only say that they are made with constantly increasing care, in only those localties where values are of the most permanent character. STANDING OF THE COMPANY, The company had in force December 31, 1888, 63,660 policies insuring @151,861,918. Its as- sets on that Led Were $57,460,649.20; ita liabili- ties by the highest legal standard of solvency were #51,895,569.61, leaving a clear surplus of $5,565,079.59, Our own standard of reserve on business written since April, 1882, is higher than any legal standard or that of any other company, and requires us to carry an additional reserve of $350,370; leaving the surplus by our own standard $5,214, 709.59.

This emboldened Piggott to a I act in Dublin and try once more to lead Irish patriots into trouble. For a time he was recognized as an agent of the English government. whose plan was to be- tray men into ex, ions of ill-will against the government, and to o: ‘ize them for the pur- pose of resisting it, and then to deliver them up to the ee and the gallows, Later he became editor of the Fenian organs, the Irish- man and Flag of Ireland, in Dublin; was a trusted leader in the Fenian movement, and, according to his own admission on the witness stand, was all the time in correspondence with the English authorities endeavoring to sell the secrets of his friends. How Ice is Harvested. Hartford Times, Feb. 17. Last Monday the harvesting and cutting of ice began at the pond owned by the Spring Brook ice company, situated at South Weathers- field, Conn. Two acres of ice were first marke in squares the size needed, the whole resem- bling # checker-board, from a view at the top of the “run.” After the marking an ice plow was fitted into the groove made, and drawn by one horse; it soon cut the required depth of three or four inches. By a ‘sey tap of the ice pick between cakes a raft of fifty cakes is soon on its way to the foot of the “run,” where the men stand as thick as they can work, sepa- rating the cakes and guiding them on to the endless chain Pe) which, ose by steam, carries them to the different dings. Half-way up the “run,” where the ice planer is fastened, as every cake passes under it the snow or rubbish, if any, is removed and the cakes are thus of a uniform thickness. The men stationed on the landings guide a cake, weighing 500 pounds, into an ming of the building, where six ee it away before its momentum is lost. It requires 175 cakes forty-four inches square to make one layer in each of the six rooms, thirty-six men working inside. Each room will contain twenty-six layers, or 4,550 cakes of ice of four times the ordinary size, which is sees te inches, The ice preserves better by having less air ae between the cakes, hence the large size. ‘he three large buildings of six rooms will con- tain, when filled, 27,300 cakes, weighin, tons. If placed end toend they would reach eighteen miles; placed one above another aa ice monument five miles high would be the re- sult, Monday the ice was 10 inches, to-day it is 1144. It is really a novel sight to watch this industry through all its stages. Visitors are welcome, and they have been numerous duri: the week Mr. Charter is Bole house” during “ice week,” and the eighty-five men, to whom he pays $2 a day, have a warm house in which to eat their noonday meal. About eleven acres will be cut over. The rapidity in which these huge cakes are handled is i8- ing. A half day's work housed 3,500 cakes. Twelve a minute up the “run” was the rule for a long time. Secret of Success in Advertising. From the East Sussex News. The value of an advertisement is in exact Proportion to the influence it exercises upon those who are thereby induced to purchase the articles to which it draws attention. For local purposes newspapers circulating extensively among # good clase of readers residing within easy distance of the advertiser should always be chosen, If the subject matter is of general interest, then the more widely circulated and more expensive mediums should be selected. The kaos palo thing is to ascertain what papers are read and likely to secure the object the advertiser has in view. There are a few simple rules by which the veriest amateur may arrive at a fairly correct judgment for himself. It is pretty clear that the proprietor of every news- paper knows the value of his own columns, and frames the charges ac- cordingly. It is also well understood that in these days nearly every newspaper is sold to the agents at just about the price the unprinted paper costs. Hence all the working expenses and the | epee have to come out of the money received for advertisements. To pro- duce a paper cheaply it must be starved. It will not bear the cost of an army of reporters and correspondents with their attendant ex- penses, not only for salaries, but the cost of telegrams and other charges for transmission. which goon run into big figures. The papers that are bought to be read are those which have something fresh in them to read. All papers -slen, ready sale have no difficulty in get- ting advertisements at a fair price, and adver- tivers should studiously avoid the “cheap man.” True in this, as in every other walk of life, “cheap and nasty.” Papers that insert an- nouncements in big type, like small posting ills, or hideous blocks which it is frequently difficult to know what they are intended to them their own condemna- a Lee willi . tl at an; e, if they can only save expense in production, by filling up a given space inthe sheet which they send forth as a newspaper.
