The American Institute of Architects has an interesting history. Nearly fifty-five years ago (December 7, 1836) the half score or so of roperly trained architects practicing in the Bnitea States mot in New York and organized an “American Institstion of Architects. Only one of its members survives, at a very vanced age, Mr. Alexander J. Davis, the ‘chitect of the University of the City of New York and of much other good work, and now a corresponding member of this pioneer organ- ization’s lineal descendant, the present insti- ition” did not last, however. It was impossible it should. Its members were buta handful at the best, and_ they lived too far apart to gather from each other the warmth and sustenance and strength necessary for a brotherhood. It flamed up, flickered, flamed up again, but finaily died out, or at least ap- parently so: but the vital spark still remained in its ashes, and some ten years afterward an organization was again initiated in New York under the name (retained in its recent reotga ization) of the American Institute of Archi- tects, and with much better prospects than be- fore; for meanwhile there had appeared on the scene American youth of the higher technical training, while the previous influx of well- trained foreign practitioners had continued, thus supplying elements that eagerly co-ope- rated with the remnant of the small band of founders of the “institution” in the endeavor to establish, on permanent foundations, a fra- ternity consecrated to the high aim of “unit- ing in fellowship the architects of this conti- nent, and in combining their efforts so as to promote the artistic, scientific and practical efficiency of the profession.” THE SOCIETY INCORPORATED. But it was not till 1857—just twenty years | after the old “institution” was called to ratify itsconstitution in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia—that those who remained of its members united with this fresh stock in obtaining a charter for this society, which they did from Judge Roosevelt of the Supreme Court, with iis cordial wishes for their success, For four years the organization gath- ered in numbers and strength, till in 1861 the civil war broke out and absorbed most of its members. The institute did not disband, how- ever. It simply suspended its meetings and op- erations for less than three years, and before ber, resulting from the sction of a joint com- mittee of that body and of the institute, ap- pointed two years previously to consider the cons of consolidation and succeeded the following year by another like committee, the institute was administered by a board of tras- tees, clected annually, and consisting of the president, secretary and treasurer and s few other prominent members, to whom, after the third convention, in 1869,was added a secretary for foreign correspondence, the first incum- bent of which office, the late He: A. Sims of Philadelphia, greatly distinguished himself in it. After the fourth convention, in 1870, the residents of the chapters wero added to the d, but at the “consolidation convention” of last achange occurred in both the terminology and the regimen of the administra- tive body, the title being changed to ‘board of directors” and an executive committee elected by the board from its own membership being charged with the details of administration. The executive committee for the current year consists of Messrs, E. H. Kendall, D. Adler, R. W. Gibson and W. W. Carlin, with ex-officio the president, secretary and treasurer, Until last year the institute had standing committees on education and publications, the successive proceedings of the institute being published under the auspices of the latter, and the former still surviving as a special commit- tee, its membership for the current year_com- ig Professors Russell Sturgis, W. R. Ware, dT. M. Clark. An equivalent . ial committee on professional practice, which, for so many years did such good service, generally under the chairman- ship of Mr. W. R. Ware, is again on the iasti- tute list under the name of ‘committee on ional ethics,” with Mr. L. H. Sullivan as chairman. The other special com- mittees shown in the consolidation proceedings rk ot the wor! R ¥. Gibson, hay ters,” J. F. Alexander, chair- “competitions,” C, R.

Hatfield, chairman, In the first decade of its existence the insti- tute bad a number of annual dinners, held on Washington's birthday, but of these no record appears to be extant, unless perhaps in the pages of two long-lapsed serials—one the ar- tist Durand’s ‘Crayon, d the other ‘The Architects and Mechanics’ Journal,” published shortly before the civil war, for a short time. in New York. But its conventions for business Burposcs did not at that time occur regularly. Since the organization of the chapter system in 1867, however, the institute has never failed to hold an annual convention. Seven of them have been held in New York, three in Philadel- phia, two in Boston, three in Cincinnati, two in Chicago, one in Baltimore, one in Washington, one in Providence and Newport, one in Albany, one in Nashville and one in Buffalo, ali the Places of meeting, except the last two, being the seats of chapters. a HE GOT OFF EASILY, Louis Pumphrey Fined Ten Dollars for Burglarizing a Cigar Store. The case of Louis Pumphrey and Ernest Cissell, the boys arrested on a charge of rob- bing Mr. Thornton's cigar store in East Wash- ington, as published in yesterday's Stan, was called in the Police Court today. The case of Cissell was postponed until tomorrow. In the case of the other boy, Pumphrey, Mr. Carrington entered a ploa of guilty and introduced evidence as to his good character. Miss Pumphrey, the boy’s sister, tried to shield her brother as best she could, and said that he didu't steal the property, but got it from the boy who did steal it, “Then he is just as bad as the one who stole said the judge, “and the best jo thrash the boy and make him know that he has got to obey the law. If he isnot taught that, the law will soon lose its terrors to him and he will wind up in the pen- itentiary.” ‘The court finally ordored restitution and im- joved a fine of 810, which was paid and the oy was released, It was stated that the boy has been working for bis uncle in Baltimore and was only hero the close of the disturbance resumed its func- tions. But, incorporated though it was in New York, its membership nevertheless covered, however sparsely, the whole Union, and to some extent the contiguous British provinces; and the roll gradually increased tillin 1867, ten years after its incorporation, it became neces- sary to meet the local exigencies of its outlying constituency by establishing a system of branches, or chapters, as they are called, which have slowly augmented in number tili last year they had seats in most of the incipal cities of the Union, as fol- lows. ‘The figures attached to each indi- cate the year of its accession to the institute: New York chapter, March 19, 1867; Philadel- phia chapter, November 14, 1869; Chicago chap- ter, December 18, 1869; Cincinnati chapter, February 14, 1870; Boston chapter, December 6, 1870; Baltimore chapter, January 13, 1871; Albany chapter, May 28, 1873; Rhode Island chapter, November 10, 1875; San Francisco November 4, 1881; St. Louis chapter, 1884; Indianapolis chapter, July 2. ashington chapter, September 21, 1887. THE CONSOLIDATION WITH THE WESTERN ASsO- CIATION, The year of 1889 having been rendered mem- orable in tbe history of the institute by the ac- cession of the Western Association of Archi- tects (which had been formed five years provi- ously on the general tines already laid down by the institute, and on the same theory as that which induced the adoption of the chapter sys- tem, viz., that a beneficent oversight of the elements affecting the profession could better be had for local purposes by a local body than by one having its seat at a distance), it is prob- able that the reports submitted at the conven- tion to open here tomorrow will show a large increase in the list of chapters, with also, it may be reasonably hoped, many evidences of accomplished improvement in working meth- ods and suggestions for still further ameliora- tive processes in the interest of good architec- ture, and of its practitioners as well as of still closer union than heretofore among all the architectural associations of the country un- der the federated system offered by the insti- tute. ps The labor involved in the formative pro- cesses of the institute was great, and equally so the after work of correspondence, stimulation, co-ordination and general administration—the more so, as it has been without endowment, while its income from initiation and arnnal dues has been insufficient even to cover proper expenditure for mere clerical service, for rent and for the printing, to say nothing of the edit- ing of its proceedings, DISTINGUISHED OFFICERS. In the first thirty years of its corporate exist- ence the institute had but two presidents, viz: ‘The late Richard Upjohn, architect of Trinity and St. Thomas’ churches in New York, for nineteen years—from its incorporation in 1857 tilt hie resignation in 1876—and his successo: Dr. Thomas alter, architect of the Ca tol at Washingtow for eleven years—till his decease three years ago. It has had but three treasurers in thirty-two years, viz: ‘The late Mr. J. C. Wells, for three years; the late Mr. R. f for a few days on a visit to his mother and sister and Judge Miller said it was a pity that he did not remain in more, a ENGINEER COMPANY, D.C.N.G. An Organization Effected With Prof. Gilbert Thompson as President. ‘The advantages of having an engineer com- pany in the District National Guard have long been recognized, and last night a meeting was held at headquarters for the purpose of organ- izing such an addition to the local military forces. No other division of the National Guard has such acorps, Atthe meeting last night Gen. Ordway presided and explained the objects of the meeting aud the plans and meth- ods contemplated. An account of what is planned in this new company has already been published in Tux Sran, The company is to be divided into three platoons, Forty recruits en- listed Inst night and Prof, Gilbert Thompson and Mr. P. H. Devine of the geological survey were elected president and secretary respect- ively of the new organization, A committee consisting of two members from each platoon, with Prof. Thompson as chairman, was ap- pointed to pass on applications for member- ship. Another meeting will be held next Tuesday evening. ae Only Wanted Peace in the Family. “Nolle prossed, A. R. Mullowney,” was tho indorsement on an assault information filed in the Police Court today. The name “Kate Ginter” appeared as defendant and her hus- band’s, “Henry Ginter,” was down es com- plainant. Kate is a heavy-weight and her hus- band is much smaller than the wife. Henry claimed that his wife got the better of him in an encounter and he swore out a warrant against her for assault, She was arrested last night, but this morning when Henry appeared he said ail he wanted to do was to get peace in the family and he did not want Kate punished, hat was why Mr, Mullowney nolle prossed the charge, —_—>___ A Combination of Brewers. Recently it has been announced that both Mr. Albert Carry and the Robert Portner Brow- ing Company would erect large breweries in this city. A combination has been formed be- tween Mr, Carry aud the Portner company and instead of there being two concerns the brew- ery projected by Mr. Carry will be erected by the two parties under the name of the Carry- Portner Brewing Company. ‘This arrangement was finally made last evening, when a company was formed with 500,000 capital and Mr. Carry as president.

Hatfield, author of “Transverse Strains, for nineteen years, and his brother, Mr. O. Hatfield, for ten years. The excessive deman upon the secretary may be inferred from the fact that during the thirty-two years ed the institute has mn obliged to call ecessively on no less than thirteen among its most prominent, active aud public-spirited members to perform the duties of that office. The first secretary of tho insti- tute, as aiso the most active agentin pro- moting its formation, was for nearly four years Mr. R. M. Hunt, who was followed by Mr. Henry Van Brunt for five months and for about half that time by Mr. J. W. Ritch. After the suspension caused by the civil war. and during the remaining portion of its first decade, or for about three years in all, the late Mr. Charles Gambrill, of the firm of Gambrill & (H. H.) Richardson, architects of Trinity Church, Bos- ton, performed its duties. After the adoption of the chapter system, with which the second decade in the history of the corporation opened, Mr. C. Withers, architect of the reredos in Trinity Church, New York, filled the oftice for @ year and was succecded also for a year by Mr. Russell Sturgis, well known after- courts, leaving two to be concluded in order to bring the contestto an end.

At a meeting of the Virginia republican state association last night a resolution was intro- duced indorsing Mr. Frank Hume for Congress. The resolation provoked a lively discussion and when it was pressed to s vote a large num- ber of those present, including the president, left the hal, The resol al VIRGINIA POLITICS, Relative Chances of Frank Hume and Gen. W. H. F. Lee. There is an interesting three-cornered fight in progress in the eighth congressional district of Virginia, and, as is usuaily the case, the friends of each candidate declare themselves as Sure of success, The regular republicans made ‘no nomination and the friends of Mr. Frank Hume took advantage of the situation and ‘urged that gentleman to enter the race. When his name was presented to the voters of the district he and Gen. W. H. F. Lee were in the field against each other, Thus the voters were to have two democratic candidates to vote for with noone to run in opposition to them. Candidage Hume's popularity with the colored voters, it wasasserted, together with his large following in the democratic ranks, would in- suro his election. This state of affairs did not exist long before «colored organization in Alexandria put for- ward Mr. Carter's name as the republican can- didate, ‘This district. which a century ago comprised the city of Alexandria and the come of Fuair- fax, is now made up of ten counties, The: Al ndria, Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun, Stafford, King George, Louisa, Culpeper, Orange and Fauquier. ion is very uncertain at present, f Yee and Hume are making a strong canvassof the district, In Alexandria county and city it is claimed Mr. Hume will ta large vote, and the majority there, Mr. friends hope, will outweigh the major- ities given for Lee in several countios. CHANCES OF HUME AND LEE ABOUT EQUAL Speaking of the prospects of the different candidates a life-long resident of the district, who has always voted the republican ticket, told a Srar reporter today that in his opinion the chances were about equally divided be- tween Lee and Hume. Oue thing, he said, that would help Hame was that thero are many congressional aspirants in the district who will not be especially anxious for Lee's suc- cess, as they know that the success of Lee always means another term. They would, he id, like to have a change, so as to give them- elves @ chance. This republican regarded the election of the republican candidate as out of the question. In Alexandria county Mr. Hume's friend predict that he will have a larger majority than any candidate ever had bofore, and in the adjacentcounties he will poll a large vote, THE COMING SOCIAL SEASON. The Capitol Bicycle Club Arranging for a Series of Germans. The Capitol Bicycle Club is about to open its Social season of 1890-91 and this will probably be the signal for rejoicing among the very many friends of that popular organization. A meeting was held at the club house yesterday afternoon of a number of mombers interested in the giving of germans during the winter and an organization was effected by the selec- tion of a committeo to take charge of tho series, The committee is composed of Dr. H. M. Schooley, Mr. J. McK. Borden and Dr. Wm.

They Want More Time to Get Out. Attorneys representing the interests of the white settlers in the Choctaw nation were at the Interior Department yesterday urging that their appeal for an extension of time for the removal of themselves and stock, held to be illegally on tho reservation, be favorably con- sidered, The attorneys state that telegrams received from settlers complain that the time fixed for their removal (November 1) is en- tirely too short for tho uecossary preparation of their stock. ‘They contend thatit thoy are compelled to leave on the date fixed many of them will be ruined, The appeal has been pending before the Secretary for some time.

Among the 300 other guests were Archbishops Corrigan, Elder and Ireland, Bishops Keane, Ryan, Bonacum, O'Reilly, Wigger, McNeirney, Ludden, O'Farrell, The toast list included “The pope," to which Cardinal Gibbons rosponded. He spoke brictly and eulogized the pope as a pontiff whose name was revered to the utmost confines of the globe. He used his great power only for the propagation of justice and truth, His name was revered as that of a goodand great man, The cardinal remembered how, in an audience in 1883, tho — bad said he disliked the exercise of arah measures and desired to appeal onli the intellect and heart of mankind, His sole ambition was to draw them nearer to the Divine Master. The pope then also said he had a special love for America and the fact that during his reign he had added seventeen new bishops to the United States was a proof of that love, On this occasion he had given a special proof of this by sending his aj lic blessing to the bishop of Brooklyn. The car- dinal then said that Archbishop Corrigan had told him that the pope was in excellent health and that there was therefore every probability that he had many years yetof his glorious reign before him. ———_+e0+______ Nominated for Congress.

Arrangements for the Reception in This City. Early next Saturday morning three special trains will come bowling into this city, bringing along over 600 members of the British Steel and Iron Institute and of the German intsti- tate, One of the trains will come from the north and the other two will come from the south, as the party separated at Chicago, the two divisions going in different directions, but intenditg to join forces again in this city. Ever since the arrival of these prominent visitors in this country in September they have been the guests of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the mechanical and the civil engineers, and they have been givena tour of the manufacturing and mining sections of the country that for completencss could hardly be excellod, while the magnificence of the arrangements was such as must have given the visitors a good idea of American hospitality. “ 4 ToUR OF THE counTar. Evor since their arrival in New York, over @ month ago, they have been treated toa series of fetes, receptions and excursions. ‘adually they made their way woot until Chicago was reached, taking in all the points on that were likely to prove of particular interest to steel and hoo men. "The coal ficlds and iron works of Pennsylvania were thoroughly studied, as were also the oil and natural gas regions. At Chicago the larger portion of the party went south to visit the wondertul new manufacturing and mining sections of the southern states, but Saturday will sce the whole party reunited once more. The travel- ing arrangements for the visiting tourists have all been of the most elaborate gescription. Three special trains of eleven paiace cars each have been at their disposal since the start and everything that could possibly be done for their comfort and convenience has been done. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is the chairman of the general committee of reception and entertain- ment and he has done a great deal toward the success of the tour, THE LOCAL COMMITTEE. In this city, as in all others visited by the party, # local committee of arrangements has been appointed to look out for their comfort and pleasure, It consists of Major Powell, Dr. David T. Day, Prof. C, Mendenhall, Com- mander Barber and Prof. 8. P. Langley. For weeks past the committee has been busy per- fecting arrangements for the visit, and the pro- gram is about completed, * In the morning, after their arrival, the visitors will be taken through tho various departments and govern- ment buildings, to inspect the electrical count- ing machines in the census office and to various other points of interest in the city, though it is expected that the new ordnance works at tho navy yard will absorb the attention of the ma- jority of the visitors. At each of the pubiic uildings @ gentleman familiar with all the workings of the office has been detailed to re- ceive tho visitors and to see that they have a chance to see all there is to see aud to find out all there is to know, While the more scientific members of the party are boing furnished with a time that is supposed to be after their own heart the ladies willbe taken around town and shown the va- rious beauties of the capital city. After a trip to the top of the monument will be given a tally-ho ride allover the city and out through Soldiers’ Home. There are about a bun. dred Jadies in the party. A RECEPTION BY THE PRESIDENT.
