HE greatest year St. NicHoxas has ever had is just closing. “The best of children’s magazines” is now the only high-class monthly for young folks published in America. It is without a rival. Rudyard Kipling’s famous ‘‘ Jungle Stories,” written especially for Sr. NIcHOLAs, were a great feature of 1894, and it will be pleasant news that Mr. Kiplin continwe them ¥ in the coming volume, which begins with the beautiful November y issue now ready everywhere. While their elders are reading Prof. Sloane’s Life of ys and girls willbe Napoleon in The Century, the =pyegs story life of the same great hero, told by Elbridge S. Brooks, and superbly illustrated. “A Boy of the First Empire” is the title, and its hero renders a service to Napoleon, becomes one of his pages, and finally an aide. He is with him at the most critical times of his life—at the departure for Elba, and at Waterloo. The story glows with pageantry, and is a truthful account, verified by the latest information, of the life ofthe man of destiny.” “A Boy of the First Empire” begins in November.

MUNICIPAL BUILDING AND FIRE SERVICE Lively Discussion on the Subject of Manufacturing. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED The first meeting for the fall term of the board of trade was held last evening in Builders’ Exchange Hall and a number of matters of the greatest interest to the wel- fare of the city were acted upon, One of the vital questions that came before the board fer consideration was with reference to a resolution calling for aid in securing manufacturing plants of one sort and an- other for the District of Columbia. The report of the committee having this matter in charge was to the effect that in their opinion the manufacturing business should be encouraged as far as possible so long as it did not tend to mar the beauty of Washington and detract from its de- sirability as a residence city. This report cccupied more attention and gave rise to a warmer discussion than did either of the other reports of the evening. One of the most earnest and impassioned speeches was made by Dr. A. P. Fardon, who took the ground that Washington showed less of the spirit of enterprise than did any other city of any importance in the United States. He insisted that the prosperous cities of the world are those in which the wheels of factories whirl in constant mo- tion, for they make activity and success. As it is here now there are no opportunities for young men and young women beyond the few positions that arise in stores and real estate offices. Among other matters that occupied the attention of the Washington board of trade last evening was the report from the com- mittee on public buildings with reference to the needs of the building inspector's office, a report on the necessity for the en- largement of the local fire department and one on the subject of the proposed new municipal building. The meeting was called to order by Pres- ident B. H. Warner a few minutes before 8 o'clock, and Mr. John B. Wight occupied his familiar place as secretary to the board. There was a gratifyingly large number of members of the board present and they en- tered heartily into the discussion evoked by the recommendations of the various committees. The first business of the evening was a report of the executive committee, recom- mending several changes in the constitution relating to the admission of members. Action on the proposed changes was de- ferred until the next meeting of the board. Inspecting Buildings. Mr. Thomas W. Somerville read the re- port regarding the needs of the office of the building inspector. ‘The report quoted freely from Mr. Entwisle’s last annual report showing the necessity for a number of ad- ditional assistants on his force, in order that buildings in course of erection may be properly inspected. After going into the needs of the office at some length, the re- port concludes with the following resolu- tion: That, in the opinion of this committee, a material increase should be made in the appropriation for the support of the office of the inspector of buildings of the District of Columbia, a larger force for. said office being demaded by a due regard for the public safety, as essential to the efficient performance of the duties devolved thereon by existing law, and that the board of trade should use its best efforts to secure such appropriation.” In speaking on a motion to adopt the report, ex-Commissioner Parker said that he regarded the present inspector of build- ings as a painstaking and efficient efficer, but that it was out of the question to ex- pect him to adequately perform the duties of inspecting all new buildings with the ridiculously ‘small foree of assistants he now has at his disposal. After further dis- cussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. The committee on public buildings then submitted a report on the new municipal building. In presenting it Chairman Somer- ville said that the committee had deemed it best to take some action thus early in the season in order that the subject may be brought before Cogress without delay after the session opens. Accompanying the re- port were the plans for the building which have been approved by the Commissioners and the District judiciary. The report was as follow: “To submit further evidence or addtiion- al argument as to the total inadequacy and unfitness cf the present quarters of our municipal government would, in the opinion of your committee, be entirely superfluvus. The District offices are now located in no fewer than fourteen different buildin; scattered throughout the city at dis- tances from one another ranging from 300 feet to one and one-half miles, the result being great inconvenience and loss of time to our citizens, as well as to the officials in the transaction of the public business. The existing accommodations are, micreover, to a great extent rented build- ings, poorly adapted to the purpose for which they are used and entirely incom- mensurate with the needs and dignit the national capital, which is justly ed by visitors from foreign land of our country’s In brief, it may be on that the present condition of a both lamentable and disgraceful and that measures should be taken without delay to secure for the District an appro- priate municipal building in which all the es of our rnment may be conveniently and suitably accommodated. Proposed Plans. “With this end in view your committee takes much pleasure in submitting herewith the plans of such a structure, unanimously approved by both the honorable Commis- sioners and the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. “The building thus contemplated is to be erected on that part of reservation No. 9, known as Judiciary Square, lying be- tween 4th and 5th streets and D and @ streets northwest, in such manner that the present court house can be occupied by the United States courts and other offices dur- ing the construction of the new building— the old building to be torn down after the greater part of the new structure is com- pleted. he new building is to consist of two dis- buildings—one for the use of the United States vourts, &c., the other for the accommodaticn of the District oftices—the two to be connected by a third building. It is to be 580 feet in length, fronting on D street, with 60 feet of parking on each the 4th and 5th street side, with a depth of 280 feet, ng 20 feet from the building line of t, leaving a parking on the D street front of 100 feet. The height is to be 100 feet above the level of the sidewalk, tinct with four stories and a basement. The building is to be fire-proof, built of brick ; and steel, with granite veneering, heated by steam, with a system of ventilation sim- ilar to that in the pension office building. The two large courts, lighted by a straight skylight, are to be connected by a third, the latter to be suitable for use for inaugural balls, mass meetings, receptions to be given by the Commissioners to visiting organiza- tions, &e. ‘ Pass Resolutions, “Believing that there ts practically a con- sensus of opinion among the members of the board of trade, as well as among our other citizens, concerning the necessity for the erection of an appropriate municipal building without delay, your committee unanimously recommends the adoption of the following resolution: “Resolved by the Washington board of trade, That this board is most heartily in favor of the erection of a municipal buitd- ing In the District of Columbia, at an ap- proximate cost of $2,500,000, suitable for the accommodation of the various offices of our local government and of the federal and District judiclary, and commensurate with the importance and dignity of the national capital, in substantial accordance with the plans submitted to this board as unanl- mously approved by the honorable Commis- sioners and the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, or in ac- tl existing law with discretion as to plans for | said building. 5, “Resolved, further, That this board will take action toward ring the necessary appropriations for the erection of such municipal building at the earliest date practicab'e.”” Behind the Times. A brief discussion followed the reading of this report, but there was no need for much debate, as the sentiment of the meet- ing was unanimously in favor of the recom- mendations. Then came the report of the committee om insurance, consisting of Messrs. I Saks, A. L. Lothrop, W. 8. Knox and H. L. Biscoe. It dealt with the needs for an increase in the fire department of this city and showed that we are way be- hind in this respect as compared to other cities of similar size and importance. Chief Parris of the fire department was present and after the report was read he added a few remarks in its favor and also answered a number of questions propounded by mem- bers of the board as to what steps should be taken to increase the efficiency of the department. He said that in his opinion, urless the equipment of the department was greatly increased and without delay, a great conflagration would certainly occur sooner or later, for as it is now, when @ large fire breaks out, the entire force is con- centrated upon that and no considerable reserve can be maintained to guard against a fire breaking out in another section of the city. The full report of the committee was as follows Facilities Needed. “Your committee held a meeting for the consideration of this subject of so vital importance, at which, in response to the committee's invitaticn, Chief Engineer Par- ris of the fire department was present, when the equipment of the department in all its phases was fully discussed. That there is immediate necessity for action in this matter admits of no doubt. While our fire department is all that could be de- sired in fidelity and efficiency, its size is not commensurate with the area and the value of the property to be protected. In the last report of the chief engineer, that for 1803, the situation is well summarized, as follows: “‘We need more apparatus. The city is growing rapidly, and the calls upon the de- partment are more numerous than ever be- tere. The area to be looked after is im- mense, «nd with the present outfit at times large districts are left entirely without pro- tection. When a fire of large proportions is in progress, the whole department may be concentrated to handle the same. In the event of an equally large conflagration oc- curring in a locality far distant from the first, and where it may be impossible to send but one company, which is on reserve in that vicinity, the result must necessarily be disastrous.’ , “The entire District at present has only nine engine companies and three truck com pan: ‘There is urgently needed the following additional equipment, which, in the opinion of your committee, should be Iccated in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the chief engineer, about as follows: One engine house, site, engine, company, etc., for northeast section, at Florida ave- nue and North Capitol street; one engine house, site, engine, company, ete., in Ana- costia; one engine house, site, engine, com- pany, etc., between 18th and 20th and E and F streets and New York avenue north- west; one engine house, sit, engine, com- pany, etc., Market space and 8th street northwest; one engine house, site, engine, company, etc., between 10th and 13th and B and C streets southwest; one chemical engine company, in Tenteytown, five addi- tional in all. One house, site, truck, com- pany, ete., between New Jersey avenue and 7th street and M and N streets northwest; one house, site, truck, company, ete., reser- vation Virginia avenue between 8th and 9th streets southeast; one house, site, truck, company, etc., Georgetown, between 31st and %5th streets and Q and T, three addi- tional in all, Keyless Boxes. “Your committee also strongly recom- mends that the board of trade urge on the honorable Commissioner$ the advisability of substituting keyless fire alarm boxes in the business portions of ‘the city for those of the present design. The keyless boxes are now in use in corfesponding portions of most of the large cities of the country, resulting in the saving of valuable time at a critical moment, which is now lost in the ate and sectire the key of the Chief Parris has. expressed him- self as warmly in favor of the proposed change. “Fully impressed with the necessity of prompt and energetic action in order that our fire department may be placed in the condition imperatively demanded by the enormous interests at stake, vith the least possible delay, your committes presents the following resolutions, embodying its views, unznimously adopted at a meeting of the committee, which it hopes the board of trade will see fit to approve: “Resolved, That the Washington board of trade urges upon the honorable Commis- sioners, and through them upon Congress, the pressing necessity of an immediate sub- stantial increase In the appropriation for the extension of the fire department cf the District of Columbia, to the end that great- er protection from fire may be afforded the lives and property of citizens; “Resolved, further, That the honorable Commissioners be requested to cause key- less fire-alarm boxes to be substituted for those now in use in the business portion of the city.” Regarding Manufactories. The resolution that gave rise to the most animated discussion of the evening was included in a report uf the committee on commerce, consisting of fessrs. H. L. Briscoe, Levi Woodbury and H. C. Win- The report was as follows: he board of directors having referred to the committee on commerce for report the subject of the establishment of manu- plants and the encouragement of manutactures in the District of Columbia, we have duly considered the question, the importance of which needs no demonstra- tion. Within the last few months the board of trade has received a number of com- munications from parties desiring to locate manufacturing establishments in the Di trict, seeking information as to its ad- vantages for their purpose and as to what inducements, if any, would be offered capi- tal in order to secure its investment here in the form mentioned. “Not deeming .it wise to attempt to go into detail on so extensive a subject in a first report thereon, based on a necessarily brief consideration’ of the question, your committee contents itself for the present with submitting the following resolution in- dicative of the proper position, in its judg- ment, to be assumed by the board of trade: “Resolved, That, in the opinion of the committee on commerce, the board of trade should do all in its power to promote the development of manufactures in the Dis- trict and in the sections of Maryland and Virginia adjacent thereto, in such localities and under such conditions as will not de- tract from the beauty and comfort of the national capital as a city of residences (a similar course having been pursued by sev- eral of the other great capitals of the world, notably by the cities of London, Paris, Ber- lin, Vienna and Brussels), especially by urging the subject upon’ the attention of our citizens, and further iy acting as far as may be practicable, as medium of com- munication between them, and those investi- gating the advantages of. the District with reference to the establishment of manu- facturing plants therein.” The report of the dmmittee on com- merce was unanimously jadopted, and the chair was further autltorized to appoint a special committee of saven members, to be announced at the sext meeting, to whom the report is to He remrred, for their consideration and repdrt as to the best methods to be pursued to accomplish the desired object. ‘The meeting was brought to a close by a few remarks from President Warner, who also spoke of the paucity of business en- ergy within the District limits. In con- clusion he sald: “Instead of speaking sneeringly of the smoke curling up from the factories as something to be avoided in the magnifi- cence of the great capital, we should look upon it as an emblem of greatness and something to be encouraged. Labor is no- ble, effort is magnificent, and that is what we want here.” The next meeting of the board of trade will be held on November 12, when ten directors will be chosen to fill the places of ten whose terms expire, and a considerable amount of other important business will come up for consideration. pausoucarsest Through an error yesterday the number of the house on 12th street where Mrs. Glennan was staying was given as 816 in- stead of 810.

LATE SPORTING NEWS VON DER AHE’S OPINION. He Laughs at the Idea of a New Base Ball Organizati Chris Von der Ahe, president of the St. Louis Browrs, arrived at Little Rock, Ark., yesterday morning from Hot Springs. He says he has leased the base ball park at Hot Springs for the month of March next, and will take the Browns over there to play spring exhibition gemes. Three other league clubs, he says, will play in Hot Springs and other southerr cities in the early spring. In reference to the new organization, known as the American Association, Mr. Von der Ahe said: “That is purely new: talk, and there is nothing at all in it. Can you imagine a weaker organization having any show against the National League? To show there is nothing in it, I received @ communication from Buckenberger of Pittsburg the other day, wanting to manage the Browns. As Buckenberger is the ring- leader in the new association, this stamps it as a fraud, and it is only the cast-ot giving the league magnates a little scare. Foot Ball Notes. Princeton defeated Lehigh yesterday by 32 to 0 at Princeton. Yale defeated Boston Athletic Associa- tion yesterday 23 to 0. Borden of the latter had his collar bone broken.

Kendalls Charge “Dirty” Playing. Only the first half of the football game between the C. A. C. and the Kendalls was played yesterday at the Columbias’ new athletic field, old Van Ness Park, and the Kendalls were beaten 18 to 0. The latter average 20 pounds less than the Columbias, and this difference in weight was apparent in the work of the two teams, The Ken- dalis are much dissatistied,and charge their opponents with playing a “dirty” game, claiming that they held men in the line and when down and used their fists. RACING ON TWO TRACKS. Five Favorites Won Yesterday at St. Asaph's. Numerous scratches reduced the already ‘small fields at the St. Asaph track yester- day to match races in two of the events, and as five cut of six favorites won, the talent hed rather a good day of it, although four of the winning favorites were odds on. In the third race Our Jack was quite large- ly played to beat Patrician, but finished absolutely last. Indra, the winner of the fecond race, started at 12 to 1, but “Pitts- burg Phil,” its owner, plunged to such an extent that the price went down to 5 to 1. There was a great tip out on Little Ella in the last race, but she was never in it. The results after The Star's report closed were: Third race, one and one-sixteenth miles, handicap. Time, 1.49. Patrician, 4 to 5 (Sims). mes Captain T., 25 to 1 (Keefe) 2 Illume, 15 to 1 (Penn)..... 3 Jodan (R. Doggett), 40 to 1, and Our Jack (Griftin), 7 to 5, also ran, Fourth race, five furlongs.

Alexander Island, But one favorite, Fagin, in the third race, won at the Alexander Island track yester- day, and the ten bookies doing business took about everything in sight. The fields were large, and Starter Cassidy's work with the flag was above the average. The rumor chat he was to be displaced by “Snapper” Garrison was positively denied by the club, the management stating that the club and the horsemen were satisfied With his work.

BEAT 4 HORSE’S TIME. John S. Johnson Wheels a Mile in 1:35 3-5. John 8. Johnson yesterday afternoon at Buffalo rode a mile in the unparalleled time of 1:358-5, almost fourteen seconds faster than any single rider has ever cov- ered the distance in the world; six seconds faster than any tandem has ever negotiated the distance, and one-tenth second faster than the world’s record for running horses 1:35 1-2, made by Salvator on a straight track at Monmouth Park, N. J., August 28, 1890. Johnson rode the course in heavy black tights and two thick sweaters, which tend- ed to impede the free play of his muscles. As the record-breaker and the pace-mak- ing quartet crossed the tape, the features of the men were absolutely indistinguish- able. All that could be heard and seen was @ roar, a flash st"auet, of variegated colors and a Electrical timing arran, vided, ‘and each quarter’ was checked ni both start and finish, so that there can be ro doubt of the accuracy of the perform- ance. the Tonowanda boulevard, is straight and has been carefully meas- ured, but there is a steep fall for an eighth of a mile at the finish. The timers were T, J. Sayles of Buffalo and Frank Mayo of the Stearns team at the start, T. W. Eck at the first quarter, A. D. Kennedy and P. Sheehan of Buffalo at the half, C. M. Murphy, the racer, and H. R. Steven- son at the three-quarters, and W. Stark, W. O. Lutz and B. Van Velsor, all of Buf- falo, at the finish. The quadruplet, by which Johnson was paced, was ridden by C. H. Callahan, H. H. Seaver, Pat O'Con- nor and W. A. Rhodes. The time by quat- ters was: First quarter, 212-5 seconds; second quarter, 252-5 seconds; third quar- ter, 25, and fourth quarter, 24. Another Cycling Record. At the St. Louis Fair Grounds track yes- terday Bert Harding beat the best previous cycling record for 100 miles paced, making the distance in 4 hours 37 minutes, 56 4-5 seconds, taking the record from Frank Red- way of Canada, whose time was 5 hours, 1 minute, 12 2-5 seconds. G. A. Maxwell rode three miles in 7 min- utes, 5 2-5 seconds, beating Johnson's record of 7 minutes, 15 seconds. A New Racing Record. Galen Brown's colt Libertire, by Leon- atus-Faliz, yesterday at Chicago establish- ed a new world’s circular track record for a mile. He carried ninety pounds and cov- ered the distance in 1:38 3-4 or one-quarter of a second.better than the record held jointly by Arab and Ducat. G3 eddling 4 from house to house, { with “‘ prizes” thrown in, sells a good many pretty poor washing-pow- ders. Don’t let these worthless prizes deceive you. They don’t amount to any- thing. Consider their value if you bought them in the regu- jar way, and compare this with the value of ruined linens, paints, etc., that you risk with these washing-powders. There’s nothing cheaper to wash with than Pearline. That gives you easy washing that is absolutely safe. You would better use Pearline, and buy your own prizes. You'd save money. 40 JAMES PYLE, N.Y.
