MRS. JOUN 0. EVANS’ RESIDENCE. REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. Kew Public Buildings to be Erected in This City. FRE ONEROUS SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE PROPOSED METHODIST UNIVERSITI—ENLARGING AND Dt PROVING A HOTEL BUILDING—OTHER MATTERS Oo INTEREST. RING THE PAST WEEK the Senate bill providing for the erection of a fire-proof building for the use of the National Museum ‘was reported favorably to the House. In case this measure is enacted into a law the erection of another public building of considerable im- portance will be begun here during the present year. It is likely that such progress will be ‘made in the proceedings to secure the site for ‘the new post office building that something can be done before the cl se of the year toward be- ginning the erection of that building. There is also a strong probability that some decision will be reached in regard to the location of the proposed building for the government printing office. It is proposed to expend half « million dol- lars in erecting the National Museum building. ‘One million nine hundred thousand dollarsis the ‘amount appropriated for the post office building. The government printing office building will haps not costes much as either of the Eitidings named. As many be scen it is pro- posed to make a considerable addition to the number of public buildings in this cit those who are interested in the arch beauty of the capital are discussing tion as to whether these new buildings real additions to. the artistic attract ons of the city. As is well known this latter feature does not d upon the amount of money ex- |, but upon the taste displayed in ma Itis said, and with considerab force, that if the usual indifference to artistic merit is displayed in choosing the designs that the proposed new buildings will be in point of ‘on the same level with the public build- ings that have been erected here during the Past twenty years. The. only exceptions noted the list of public buildings erected in this eity during the period named are the buildings for the naval observatory and for the Congress- fonal Library. The former is sufficiently far ad- vanced to show that its execution has fulfilled the promise of its design. Its situation some, distance beyond the bounds of the city and for the present, at least, in the woods, renders it not easily accessible. When, however. Massa- ehusetts avenue is opened up to the Tenieytown road it will be on one of the direct lines of com- munication with the city. Just now only those who are fond of a walk through the woods or the adventures of a drive over a rather primi. tive country road have been able to get limpse of the white classic outlines of th Bnilding. or, rather, seriee of buildings. The P the erection of nine buildings, Some of them, however, quite small and all to be built of white marble or granite. The main , Which is the most conspicuous of the Sroup. is a long structure, built of white marble, and in its form and’ proportions pre- senting a pleasing whole. The architecture is the Greek, and its simplicity is, of course, ite chief merit, as it is in the patent office and the White House, which are modeled after the type of the classic school of architecture. As contrasted with the more Pretentious and confused styles which characterize the public buildings erected in Yeeent years in this city, it may be said that at least the naval observatory buildings do not ffend the eye even if, perhaps, they do not suit every taste. ‘The other new building which is now going up is that for the Congressional Library. The construction has not, as yet, advanced much beyond the first story, and so it is impossible to form an idea of what the new building will Jook lise. The design, however. is pleasing and seemed to mect,with general favor and it i therefore. pretty safe to assume that the co pleted building will be a pleasing addition to ‘the public buudings in this city which have arehitectural and also artistic merit. Whether the same can be said of the buildings proposed to be built is a question that will be answered, probably, when the buildings are completed. ‘THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY. The group of handsome buildings which are being erected for the naval observatory on the heights between the Georgetown road and Massachusetts avenue extended will be a con- spiciousfeatare of thatlocality. Further along line of the same avenue there will be in the near future another group of buildings, larger and more extensive than that which will be the home of the observatory. This is the hope of the founders of the new Methodist University, and that this hope has a substa basis is in~ dicated by the fuct that already £70,000 of the $100,000 ‘required for the purchase of the land’ has been subscribed. Bishop Hurst, the promoter of this enterprise, announced when the site was secured that be desired that the purchase money should be con the citizens of Washington. How generous Prompt the response has been is indi statement, which is mace by Bishop Hurst, that alm ot the money has now been yy the citizens of this city. The display of public spirit which this movement has €licited gratif} img to the promoters of the enterprise.

The front will not be changed, and the long marble fucade, which rises to the he of six stories, will be retained, as it was built fn 1851 by Maud T.

P. Mark, jr.. architect, inclndes the removal of this ennire front and the putting in of a new one built of brick and «tone. The interior is to be greatly changed. ‘There will be a new en- france lobby, which will open into a new tentral lobby, where the office wil! be located. and the tea room, twenty by forty feet. of the building is to be entire! w from id up and the changes will aad ver not only to the appearance of this well. known ry, but greatly increase ite facilities, The property is still owned by the Brown estate, having been in the ion of since 1820, when it was purchased wn.

This is the poorest place in the park for the buffaloes. Instead of having, as Congress and the public were informed we would have, the finest Zoo in the world, where all the animals would have from four to ten times the space such animals have in other zoological gardens, only thirty- eight acres have been set aside for the ani thus giving them no mare space than they have in Philadelphia, Cineinmati, London and other zoological gardens.

However, as there can be no shadows where there is no sunshine, they will be ban- queted and toasted to their hearts’ content and the discontent of their stomachs if their lives are spared long enongh for them to get to Seattle, twenty odd miles away. In pursuance of their duty to decide upon the proper name of all geographic points and places where more than one, local or otherwise, is now in use, and also the way in which it shall be spelled, they have had the temerity to issue a decree that the loftiest and most beautiful peak in the state of Washington shall hereafter be called Mount Rainier, and not Mount Tacoma. Now, if there iaanything about which the two rival Puget Sound towns Xcited, next to population and future possibilities, it is over the name of this splendid mass, which rises like a pyramid of pure alabaster out of the comparatively level country in plain view of both. Seattle, the older town, hasalways insisted that Rainier, the name the peak has borne for more than a century, shall be retained. It won't permit the other to be printed in any of its excellent newspapers, nor will it allow a stranger to use the one favored by its hated rival without put- ting on a vacant stare, as if ignorant of what is meant, or administering « reproof, mild or severe, according to circumstances. To clinch matters, the swell social organization of the place is called the Rainier Club, and one of its ling hotels is the Rainier House.

Citizens of Glasgow Trying to Influence a Settlement. Ata meeting of leading citizens of Glasgow yesterday a committee was appointed to confer with boards of directors of the railroads in an endeavor to bring about some settlement of the railroad strike: Considerable enthusiasm was aroused when a number of prominent mer- chants who send or receive large quantities of freight over the railroads announced, through 2 gentleman who acted as spokesman, that they were perfectly willing, if necessary, to pay an increase in freight charges om condition that this increase would result in the payment of higher wages to the striking railroad employes. A proposal that the lord provost of the cit; be nominated on the tee was rejected by « large majority, but on an apy to re- consider was carried. The provost meanwhile | had left the chair to Mr. Caldwell, M.P., for the St. Rollux division of Glasgow, in conse- quence of the uproar. ‘The railroad strike situation has changed but | little.

As soon as the coast was clear the smile returned and intensified until it was a real true and earnest laugh that caused the pendulums of the clocks on the wall to shake out of their course. : “He is but one of a hundred men whom I have had to humor lately.” he went on to say, as soon ashe could straighten his face. “His watch is a good one, and there is nota better time piece in the city, but, as he bas said, it has run without a stop for five y: and that is enough to make any watch stop. This watch is simply dirty and all it needs is a little clean- ing, Iam sure. I could have given it to him in ‘an hour, but it is better to humor such peo- ple. When they take an idea of a certuin thing it is dangerous work to try to undeceiye them, for they might go to some other place for sym- pathy. There is not one watch in a.million, I would almost say, that is affected by the cur- rent onan eleciric street car line. Of course there are plenty of cases where watches have been magnetized by the effect of dynamos and other electric machines, but I do" not believe. that the current of a street car line can possibly affect a watch. There is something peculiar about this matter. Some watches you cannot possibly affect by electricity, while others to pieces, as it were, as soon as they are brought within ten feet of u'dynamo. It is claimed tha there is a non-magnetic watch made, and this is probably true, but Ido not think that they are as good time pieces as the others. They do not seem to be able to combine the two quali- ties of being proof against magnetism and keep- ing true time. “This man who has just left here is, as I say, asample case. His watch has been running 50 long that he imagines that it is impossible for it to go wrong. He forgets that a wateh needs food und care once ina while, just as much ag does @ man. and when his’ watch gets tired and rests he thinks that the trouble is caused by some other means than a natural cause, ‘Then he happens to think that he has been on re, and, not knowing very much about clectricity—few peo- le do—he at once seizes on this a8 an excuse or his magnificent watch. It has, in all prob- ability, worn out all of its oil, or it may have ‘run so long that it’ bas worn grooves in the case, as often happen In the former instance it is a matter of but a few minutes to remedy the evil, but when there are ruts in the case it is often impossible to get the works into shape again 00 that they will find their old places. It is very easy to demagnetize ‘@ watch. “Ail you have to do is to make a series Gf counter passes over it in certain way and the deed is done, but yoa have to know how to do it. I would not advise yon to try it unless youareawaichmaker. I do not teil this man who has just left us all this because he wants to be humored, and humoring men isa matter of business.” See NEW PUBLICATIONS.

WAR DANCING IN MANITOBA. The sheriff of Bottineau, N.D., has tele- graphed the commander of the detachment of mounted police in Manitoba that the Indians ow the Turtle Mountain reservation on the Canadian side of the line have begun their war dances, and will have to be looked after im- mediately if the lives and property of settlersin the adjoining district of North Dakota are tobe rotected. He calle upon the Canadian authori- to take immediate steps, and a detachment of police has been ordered to the reserve. The reserve is a small one and the Indians on it are American Sioux. AT POCATELLO. The young bucks made an attempt to besiege Pocatello Thursday night, but an armed force of men organized for the purpose appeared and the Indians retired to wait for reinforcements. A private dispatch just in says that 500 In- dians are dancing six miles north of Pocatello. A Sioux Falls dispatch says: The Indians are dancing in the vicinity and becoming more threatening. They are getting ready to go on the warpath and the people at Blackfoot are becoming seriously alarmed over the situation. A message to the governor of Idaho from Blackfoot says: “For God's sake, send us guns.” Atlo’clock al! the Ideho militia are under arms and ready to march at a moment's notice. | Six troops have ordered ammunition from Boise City and arrangements are being mado to send it. . .
