A NEW DISTRICT BUILDING The Oommissioners Will Move at End of Fisoal Year. Walker Bailding on Louisiana Avenue the New Home—Getting the De- partments Together. With the first of the coming fiscal year, which begins July 1, 1895, the District gov- ernment, the office of the Commissioners and all its branches, will be housed under one roof in a building a little more com- mensurate with its dignity and importance. ‘This move is in line with a scheme which the Commissioners have entertained for some time past of centralizing the District cffices, which are now scattered about in different sections of the city. The building chosen for the new home of the District government 1s the Walker building, on the south side of Louisiana avenue between 4% and 6th streets. The Commissioners on Saturday gave for- mal notice to Mr. Thomas W. Smith, the owner of the building on Ist street, which they now occupy, that they intended va- cating that building with the end of the present fiscal year. In their notice to Mr. Smith they stated that they had no cause for complaint with the present quarters, but that it was deemed advisable to secure a home where all the offices might be brought together conveniently under one roof. The building now occupied is not a fire-proof structure, and the fact that the records and many valuable papers which have accumulated in the Commissioners’ office are exposed to damage or loss was one of the strongest reasons which induced the Commissioners to make the change. The New Quarters. The Walker building is a rather imposing structure of bric+, eight stories high. The main part of the building was erected sev- eral years ago, but an addition on the east which practically doubles its size, is just being completed, and in this new portion will be located the District offices, which will occupy most if not all of the rooms. he building was erected by Mr. 8. H. Walker. Already There. For some time past the police department has occupied quarters in the lower part of the original building, where Sanitary Of- ficer Frank, the superintendent of chari- ties, the District telegraph and telephone service, the bard of children’s guardians and the superintendent of the street and alley cleaning department have also made their headquarters. Since the completion of the new portion of the building the health office has moved in also, and the coming of the Commissioners, with all the departments under them, will bring practi- cally all the District offices together. The excise board, the sealer of weights and Measures and the inspector of gas and meters will also be accommodated in the ne building. Among the different offices that will then be in clese proximity are the executive department, the assistant engineers, the excise board and board of assistant assessors, the special assessment division, the assessor, the auditor, the col- lector of taxes, the building inspector and his corps of assistants, the fire department, the various inspectors, superintendent of charities, surveyor, superintendent of water department, superintendent of telegraph and telephone service, and the numerous other more or less important adjuncts to the District government. It has not been definitely decided just how many rooms will be needed under the new arrangement, but the supposition is that practically the entire Suilding will be utilized in this way. Rent Paid. The Commissioners have for some time past entertained the hope of making some change of this sort. The possibility of having a municipal building owned and oc- cupied by the government had deterred them from making any change, and, If Congress had seen fit to make an appropri- ation for such a building, it is probable tkat tae present building would have becn retained until the completion of the new one. When it was seen, however, that there was no chance of getting a suitable building of their own the Commissioners began locking about for other quarters, and their choice fell upon the Walker building as being most eligible. The Com- missioners pay an annual rental of $3,000 for the kuilding they now occupy, but the allowances for ren: for the other depart- ments of the District government bring this amount up to about $8,000. ——.__ THE COURTS.

A woman carrying in her arms a young child paced the floor in Judge Miller’s court today, while her husband, Frank Van Cooten, was on trial, charged with the theft of $5 from Mrs. Sara A. Spencer. He was in Mrs. Spencer’s employ, and she sent him to the house of Mr. Percy 8. Fos- ter with an envelope containing a@ $5 bill. Mr. Foster was in court to tell the judge that he did not receive the money. The prisoner was locked up late last night and was not aware of the charge against him until the case was called. Lawyer Bendheim volunteered to defend the prisoner, who claimed that he had left the envelope under the door at Mr. Fos- ter’s house. Judge Miller held him guilty of the charge and imposed a fine of $10, in ad- dition to ordering restitution. Both the young man and his wife appealed to the court-for time to pay the fine, but the re- quest was not granted, and the husband was put back in the cell, separated from his wife and baby, who are dependent upon him for support. ——>_—_ A Suit for Damages. A suit at law was filed teday by Frank- lin Jones against William Jones, in which the plaintiff claims $5,000 damages, be-. cause on the 2d of last April the defendant, as the plaintiff alleges, made him the sub- ject of false and scandalous accusations or remarks. THE MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL Efforts Made to Get Money to Rebuild Howland Hall. Work of Frederick Douglass in Its Behalf and the Proposal to Make It a Memorial to Him. Work in aid of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth has been under- taken with renewed. zeal since the burning of its only building, Howland Hall, during the recent blizzard. The interest taken in this institution by the late Frederick Dougluss has also brought it forward to the attention of those who might be dis- posed to assist in the education of the col- ored people. The school started auspiciously in Oc- tober with sixty pupils, and is still con- ducted in a hall temporarily provided by a kind friend. Jennie Dean, the philan- thropic colored woman who proposed the school three years ago, and solicited the funds which gave it a start, is now in New York seeking means to rebuild How- land Hall. She has been assisted by Mrs. Burton Harrison, Rey. Robert Collyer, the rectors of St. Bartholomew’s and Grace Church and by the bishop of New York. It was through Jennie Dean that Phillips Brooks and Edward Everett Hale became interested and helped to raise the money to buy 100 acres of the Bull Run battle- field as a site for the school. The schoob house was .built on this farm, mainly with money given by Miss Emily Howland of New York, and was furnished by contribu- tions by colored people in the vicinity, who gave beds and bedding, chairs, tables and supplies of all sorts to start the school last October. Number of Pupils Increasing: The industrial school was really the out- growth of Miss Dean’s missionary work in estabiishing Sunday schools in Virginia. She had started four Sunday schools in the vicinity of Manassas when the idea came to her that the 24,000 colored people in that immediate region ought to have an institution which should give them the opportunity for development in the practi- cal knowledge of mechanical handicrafts. In spite of the loss of the main building the school is going on in an unfinished church near by, and the number of pupils has increased since the fire. The trustees have voted to rebuild ut once. Money is coming in for the new buildirg, and last week aconsiderable sum was raised in New York and forwarded by Mrs. Burton Harrison. Some of the best people of Vir- ginia are assisting and considerable aid has been given in Washington. The fire was due to a crack in an over- heated chimney, and at its first discovery, about 6 o'clock at night on the windward side of the house, it had eaten through the sheathing, and it was only the work of a few moments to wrap the whole side of the building in flames. Very little that was in it could be saved. The building was in- sured, but the furniture and tools were a total loss. It was only by heroic effort on the part of Dr. Clemens and the schol- ars that the farm house was saved. Sev- eral of the students lost all their clothing and bedding, but not one of them desires to leave the school. A Memorial to Douglass. It has been proposed since Mr. Douglass’ death that the Manassas school be named after him and be made a memorial to him. He took a most earnest interest in it, and one of the last things he did was to give money to the institution and to write to many old friends to enlist their sympathy and assistance after the burning of How- land Hall. Since the suggestion was made in The Star that the school be made a me- morial to Douglass, the matter has been discussed and approved in many quarters. Edward Everett Hale, in a note to the Bos- ton Transcript, calls attention to the needs of the school and to the fact that the last | words which Frederick Douglass wrote for publication were a plea for a generous sub- scription to this school. Mr. Hale warmly indorses the idea of making the school a memorial to Douglass. ——— UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Alumni to Celebrate the Birthday of os. Jefferson.

Scott's Emulsion is Cod-liver Oil emulsified, or made easy of digestion and as- similation. To this is added the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which aid in the digestion of the Oil and increase materially the potency of both. It is a re- markable flesh-producer. Ema- ciated, anemic and consumptive persons gain flesh upon it very rapidly. The combination is a most happy one Physicians recognize its su- perior merit in all conditions of wasting. It has had the en- dorsement of the medical pro- fession for 20 years. Don't be persuaded to take a substitute! Scott & Bowne, N.Y. All Druggists. 50c. and $1, IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “Ordnance experts all over the world will be very much interested in the experi- ments being conducted by Francois Allard, @ Quebec blacksmith, who appears to have succeeded in hardening aluminum so as to permit of its use in the manufacture of cannon,“ said Col. E. F. Bateman, a re- tired English officer, at the Ebbitt yester- day. “Allard is the same genius who re- discovered some years ago the lost art of hardening copper, but it is too expensive @ process to admit of such metal being practically used. Recently he made a small cannon of tempered aluminum about thirty inches long, and with a bore five inches in diameter. From this he repeat- edly fired a charge of a pound of powder without injuring the piece. The most re- markable part of these tests was that the metal of the barrel was only a quarter of an inch thick. There is no telling what @ revolution will be brought about in the manufacture of big guns if Allard’s future experiments in this line turn out as well as those already made.” A coterie of idlers was discussing un- canny things last night at Willard’s, and among the topics broached was the system followed by medical colleges in securing subjects for the use of the classes in anatomy. “The medical students out at Louisville some years ago used to attend to the mat- ter of getting their bodies for themselves, in order to save expense,” said Jimmy James, the well-known sporting man, “and the garden where they gathered their regular crop was on the outskirts of town, where the paupers were buried. The stu- dents would go out at night and open a new grave. Taking the body out, they would put it in a big sack, and then an old darkey named Silas, whom they regu- larly employed, and who owned an old spavined horse and a rickety wagon, would come and carry the sack to his vehicle in the road nearby, and drive it down to the college. One day toward the end of their term some of the students concluded to have some fun with Silas, so they sent him word to have his wagon at the bury- ing ground at 11 o’clock that night. It was as dark as pitch when the old fellow got there and found a couple of students Wait- ing to guide him where the body was. Silas lifted up the bulging sack, put it on his back and started for the wagon. He hadn’t gone more than ten yards when he heard a muffied voice say, ‘Carry me easy, Silas; carry me easy.’ There was a howl of terror, and a streak of scared nigger a quarter mile long going toward Louis- ville. The students came up laughing to kill, and let their companion out of the sack, and next day they learned that old Silas had joined the church and intended to confine his attention thereafter strictly to carrying odd jobs during daylight inside of the city.” “I waited eagerly all through the time the National Council of Women was delib- erating, hoping that something would be suggested about the management of do- mestic servants, the way to get “em, and more particularly, the way to keep ’em after you get ‘em, but I was doomed to disappointment,” said Frederick R. Hood of Brooklyn, at the Cochran last night. “I was a happy housekeeper once in Brook- lyn, and everything went along smoothly and swimmingly, until the two girls, who had been in my wife's mother’s family, discovered a dray driver and a stevedore to their respective Mking and started in keeping house for themselves. They were replaced by an Irish girl and a Swede cook. ‘They had been over here long enough to learn all of our native foolishness and none of the good sense. They were shiftless, lazy and untidy. We tried others, but went from bad to worse. We got’two colored women from way down in Charleston. They began entertaining and feeding every porter and barber in ten squares of the house at our expense two months after they got there. Kindness, good treatment, and everything else that should have in- spired gratitude, were absolutely lost on the procession of help that came and went. At last, in despair, we broke up our house, just as it was getting to be complete, and went to boarding. I'd take a house again in a minute if this question of servants was not so perplexing and provoking. So I’m sorry the national women did not give it attention. To my way of thinking, it is of @ great deal more importance to the do- mestic life of the country than all the re- forms of the divorce laws that you could crowd into eight hundred thick volumes of statistics.” “Some people seem to be insane on thé subject of getting others into trouble,” said H. T. Elder, a Chicago detective, at the Metropolitan last night. “I had a case recently that illustrates this peculiarity to a fine point. A well-known Chicago gentle- man married a year or two ago a Mil- waukee lady. A few months after the wed- ding the bride began to receive anonymous letters, containing all sorts of charges against her husband. She took no notice of them at first, but when they began to come in different handwriting from various places far apart, she began to believe that there might be something in them, for her spouse had been a pretty lively fellow once and she had heard of reforms being only temporary. Woman like, she never said a word to him about the letters, but she con- fided her troubles to an intimate friend, who, of course, went right home and told her own dear husband. This sensible fel~ low went straight to the innocent suspect, who was living as pure a life as any man could, and at this point I was called in. I was a little stunned at the epistles which the wife, after a scene, allowed me to see. ‘There were at least five sorts of handwrit- ing and as many styles of composition, but not a ame or initial was signed to any of them. I took several of the envelopes, which were as different from each other as the writing on them, and conferred with the post office people. Then a letter came from a small Wisconsin office. I went there and interviewed the postmaster. He was scared and finally admitted he had broken the regulations and mailed the let- ter on a written request inclosed with it frem Milwaukee. He had thrown the letter away, but a search of an outhouse where the waste paper was thrown brought to light the precious missive. And it was signed with the name of a woman. To Milwaukee I went, and, after some diffi- culty, located the writer. She stuck it out that she was ignorant of the whole affair, but finally broke down and admitted writ- ing all the letters. When asked for her motive, she said she had none; that she knew neither the man or his wife, but that she had seen the announcement of their marriage in the paper, telling also their future place of residence in Chicago, and had gone to work to break up their do- mestic happiness from pure devilment. I ot her statement, and when it was by the Chicago parties their relief was such that they decided not to prosecute her, as they could have done under the postal laws.”” —_—__>__ Marriaze Licenses.
