ERECTION OF BUILDINGS —__.—___— Hotel men and others eay that just at this time there-is an urusually large num- ber of visitors in the city. The hotels are crowded, and it is not an uncommon ex- perience of people reaching a hotel at night to be told there is no room, and to be obliged to go in search of sleeping quarters. It has been the custom for a good many years past for excursion parties as well as general visitors to come to this city in the spring of the year, and, of course, this year has prcved to be no exception. On the contrary, it is thought the throng of strangers who are mere sightseers is increased by those who have come here on account of the war preparations. Some are here to be spectators of the proceed- ings of Congress and to be in closer touch with the men who are actors in events which are tikely to be historical, and then there is another class who are drawn to the nation’s capital by business arising from the need of the government for sup- plies of various kinds. Effect in This City. In the event of actual hostilities it is believed this latter class would be largely augmented and that there will be a great addition to what may be termed the tem- porary population of the city. Looked at from a purely business standpoint, it is the opinion of many that a war would result in @ benefit for the time at least to this city. It is thought a stimulus would be given to business in all branches in consequence of the large sums of money that would be placed in circulation. It is believed even real estate would be benefited, and that a good many houses that are now vacant would be occupied, and that the reats would go up, and probably there would be a demand for additional buildings. While this may appear to be a selfish way of looking at the present crisis in national affairs, yet it is not meant to imply that any portion of the residents of Washington desire war from any such motive. Good Building and Rents. The connection between good construc- tion in houses and rents is not one that is apparent to every one, but a good many people seem to think it is a close one. It looks very much as if there was some relation between the two when the owner of one house finds it necessary to reduce the rent while his neighbor continues to get the same rental. It is believed that the explanation of this apparent anomaly lies in the difference between the constr-ic- tion of the two houses. One of the houses will be found on ex- amination to be in a run-down condition, which is not due alone to the lack of miaor repairs, but to a general deterioration of the entir2 structure. On the contrary, the other house, it is probable, will be in as good condition as when erected—fioors sound and even, the window fram?s in their original places and the walls as good as new. Difference in Houses. As a result, the occupants of the house are not obliged to burn twice the required amount of fuel in order to warm the cur- rents of air which find their way through the openings about the windows and under the doors. Such a house does not have the appearance of old age, and with a lit- tle papering apd painting presents as good an appearance as a new house. Un- der these circumstances, it is thought it is not difficult to know why the owner is able to get a good rental, while his neigh- bor, who has put up a cheap structure tlat is practically a sham, finds that he must ask a low price to secure a tenant. It may be censidered simply bad busi- ness for people who build as an invest- ment to adopt cheap construction, but there is another term to characterize a man of means who builds a house of this kind for his own use. It may be inferred that he wants to convince people he has spent more money than is actually the case when he substitutes the sham for the real in order to cheapen the cost of construction. It is, of course, not believed that a man ought to spend more money than he can afford in building a house, but, at the same time, if he has not the mceney to pay for the genuine article he ought not to pretend he has by substituting an imitation. Some houses that, owing to the location and general appearance, would seem to be cost- ly structures are to a large extent mere pretenses, and a few years’ service is apt to demonstrate that fact. Hendquarters of Architects. As soon as the contemplated tmprove- ments in the old Octagon House, at the rortheast corner of 18th street and New York avziue northwest, are completed the headquariers of the American In- stitute of Architects will be removed from New York city. A lease has been se- cured for five years, and it is the purpose to make this old house, which is one of the historic buildings in the city, a home for the architects of the country when they visit this city. As stated in The Star at the time, it was decided at the annual meeting of the institute, which was held in the beginning of the year, to establish the headquarters of the organization in this city. There is a chapter of the insti- tute here, as the local organization of architects is called, and in addition a large number of the members of the profession resident in this city are connected with the national body. As architects from all parts of the country constitute the mem- bership of the American institute, which has on its rolls 460 names, the selection of this city as the permanent headquarters may be looked upon as another of the many indications which point to this city as the appropriate home of national organ- izations. A committee, composed of Frank Mills Day and Wilson Eyre of Philadelphia and Robert Stead of this city, selected the Oc- tagon House as the headquarters, and this selection was approved by the directors. The house will Ind itself admirably to the proposed scheme of improvement and decoration, as it is a substantial building. It was designed in the early years of the present century as the home of Col. John Tayloe, who was one of the wealthiest men in this section of the country. Here President Madison lived after the White House was burnt by the British, and the spacious halls and rooms still give an im- pression of generous living in spite of the dilapidation of time and neglect. It is the purpose to make all alterations harmonize with the style of the house and when re- fitted it will still be an example of one of the best types of domestic architecture of that period. = The American Institute has quite a large library, which, of course, will be removed to the city with the records, and this will take place as soon as the improvements are completed. The next annual conven- tion of the institute will be held here next fall. The officers of the institute are as follows: President, George B. Post,. New York; first vice president, W. L. BK. Jen- ney, Chicago; second vice president, C. Howard Walker, Boston: secretary, Al- fred Stone, Providence, R. I., and treas- urer, Samuel A. Trent, Chicago. At Congress Heights. Early next.week work will be commenced on a building in Wilson Park, Congress Heights, which will rest on eight large oak trees.

Italian Trainin, Vessel Taking on Coal Provisions. The Italian cruiser, the Am2rigo Ves- pucci, which has been lying in the Poto- mac below Alexandria for the past week, is now getting her coal and provisions on board preparatory to sailing for Philadel- phia Monday. In spite of the disagreeable weather crowds of persons continue to visit the ship. Tomorrow will be the last day the vessel can be inspected, and to accom- modate those who have not yet visited the ship thé steamer Saml. J.

She will then land at the Alex- andria ship yard, in order that all who wish can go aboard the Italian vessel and take the steamar for home on a later trip. —____ DEATH OF ROBERT PURVIS. Leader in Anti-Slavery Movement and Prominent in Reforms. Robert Purvis, the father of Dr. Charles B. Purvis of this city, died yesterday in Philadelphia, in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He was born in Charleston, 8. C.. the 4th day of August, 1810. His father, William Purvis, was a native of Ross, Northumberland county, England. His mother was a native of Charleston. His maternal grandmother was a Moor and his grandfather an Israelite named Baron Judah. Robert Purvis and his two brothers came to Philadelphia with their parents in 1819. He received his education in Pennsylva- nia and New England, finishing it at Am- herst College. Since that time his home had been in Philadelphia. He made his first speech in public at an anti-slavery convention when he was only seventeen years old. The National Anti-Slavery Society was formed in 1833. Garrison, Whittier and James Mott, with many other leaders of that time, were members, and of these Rob- ert Purvis was the last survivor. Hrom 1833 to 1861 his life was an eventful one. The northern mind was disposed to side with the south during this period, and was not prepared to listen patiently to the impas- sioned eloquence of Mr. Purvis, who was among the foremost orators of the aboli- tionists. His life was frequently in jeop- ardy from mobs. Being the possessor of a strong moral and physical nature, he was undismayed and continued to follow the trend of his convictions. If he had lived to August 4 of this year he would have com- pleted his eighty-eighth year. He was president of the “underground railroad” in the slavery period, and throughout that long period of peril his house was a well-known station. His horses and carriages and his personal at- tendance were ever at the service of the travelers of that road. He was first vice Eresident of the Woman's Suffrage Society When Lucretia Mott was president. He was a prohibitionist and active in the tem- Perance cause, and a leader in the Irish mcvement, and in improving the condition of the laboring man. These reforms all claimed his best service. He was promi- nent also in the “committee of one hun- dred,” composed of the best men in Phila- delphia working for better municipal gov- ernment. He lived to witness the success of the great causes to which he devoted his youth and manhood; to join in the jubilee song of the American slave, and in the thanksgiving of the abolitionist, and to tes- tify that the work of his life has been one “whose reward is in itself.” —.+—_—_.

Next Tuesday ‘evening, at the Congrega- tional Church, tie C&ioral Society will pre- sent Dvorak’s W@aut#ul dramatic cantata, “The Spectre’s Brida?’ with full orchestra, fine soloists an@ well-drilled chorus, all under the direction ®f Mr. Josef Kaspar. The orchestra fs a! fine one, numbering forty-five playef&, ad has been in con- tinuous existenfe #i Boston for many years, making dospe@al feature of accom- Panying large ¢hories in concerts and festivals. It haf beé@ often heard at the Worcester and Springfield festivals, at the Boston Handel and: Haydn concerts aril at the Petersburg festivals, and were heard here in concert last y€ar, assisted by Calve, Campanari and ¢tliefs. It plays delightful accompaniments, and the friends of the Choral Society wil thereby be rewarded for their strong support at the two pre- vious concerts this season, when the ac- companiments were with organ and piano only. : Of the soloists, Mr. Rieger, the ‘tenor, who takes the part of the Spectre, is well known here, and wherever oratorio and cantata heave a home. The. work of the tenor in “The Spectre’s Brffe” is entirely in duets with the soprano+the Maiden— as together they traverse,~between mi night and morning, the thirty miles from her home:to the church and-burial ground, which he- describes to her ‘as his “castle old” and “garden fair.”. The lyrical char- acter of this part of the work will well suit Mr, Rieger's voice and atyle. ‘The ether two soloists are new to Wash- ington. Mrs. Wood is the soprano of the Quartet of the First, Unitarian Church in Boston, and a member of the Choral So- clety who recently had an opportunity to Lear it describes it as the best-balanced quartet he ever heard, and its work as more finished and artistic than that of the celebrated Arlington Street Church quar- tet, which he heard the same day, and which every one had stated to be the best quartet in Boston. Mrs. Wood has a beau- tiful voice and a fine stage presence, and should well carry the trying part of the Maiden in this tragic cantata. In her open- ing solo, when she prays that her lost lover may come back, or else she be taken away to him, and again in the terrjple scene in the dead house, near the clog, when she repents of her sinful prayer, and begs to be rescued from her terrible spectre-lover, who. in loud tones, at the door, ts calling on the dead man lying on the plank to rise and open the door to him, the-soprano has great opportunities for dramatic as well as vocal work, which, together with her duets with the Spectre, as she is hurried over the thirty miles, the last part of the way with bleeding feet, make her role one of intense interest throughout. To the baritone soloist and the chorus are assigned the narrator parts of the story, and much of it is extremely dramatic and thrilling. The baritone, Mr. Howland, is unknown here, but he is vouched for by the manager of the Boston Festival Or- chestra as eminently capable of filling the difficult role completely. The structure of the cantata is pecular in this respect, that, with the exception of the opening chorus, every one is accompanied by baritone ob- ligato solo. Some of them are extremely beautiful, especially the ‘“corpse-candle” chorus, in which, as well as In several other places in the cantata, three distinct sets of words are Leing sung simultaneously by the baritone and the chorus. While this would seem to lead to utter confusion in the hands of many composers, Dvorak has so skillfully assigned a distinctive rhythm to each set of words that the voices carry- jag it can be followed easily throughout, and the effects fii m@&ny places are beauti- ful_in the extr@me.In order to aid the audience in this, the libretto has been so printed that, whrevér two or three sets of words are runnitg simultaneously, they are printed in paraltel eolumns and generally all drop down 4 line at the same time. The seeming tncomigruity of a terribly tragic story linked te beautiful music can- not be better expres$ed than in the words of an eminent cfitic,/ who says that in this work Dvorak has sacceeded in “rendering horror beautiful.” Yet there is nothing frivolous about the jmusic, but it fits the words throughott. The libretto itself is a fine piece of Englisip verse, in spite of the fact that it has “suffered two translations, from Bohemian into German and thence into English. Perhajs the most remark- able feature is that, under these circum- stances, the words and music should so suit each other: *The two former concerts of the Choral Society have been given this season to “standing' room only,” and this one, with its beautiful orchestral acco! paniment, should certainly test the stand- ing room as well as the seating capacity of the Congregational Church next Tues- day evening. On an occasion of this kind the lack of a sufficiently large music hall in this city is most forcibly presented. The seats that are left are going rapidly at Ellis & Co.'s. —— Association Officers Chosen.

Colds, Pneumonia and Consumption During the Coming Winte-—That Such Protection Can Be Given is no Longer Doubted. There 1s not a father, mother, sister or brother throughout this courtry but who will admit that they bave a dread of the coming winter, and fear that some of their femfly may become a victim of one of the above dangerous diseases. Yet this fear can be overcone and this fecling of dread changed to one of security and confidence, if they will accept the evidence of thirty-eight hundred doctors, spd the testimony of three bundred and twenty-seven thousand people who have adopted the Australian Dry Air Treatment for these dis- eases. This new germicide, HYOMEI, and the method of applying same, without the use of dan- serous sprays, douches, atomizers or vapors, bas accomplished more good in the way of preventing and curing these diseases than all other methods or remedies combined, as is shown by the fact that but forty-nine persons out of the thousands upon thousands treated have reported no benest received, and the majority of these were persons in the last stages of consumption. In the face of such overwhelming evidence, is it any wonder that The R. T. Booth Co. claim their ability to pro- tect the people from disease, and show their con- fidence in the new remedy by guaranteeing to re- fund the money in case of failure. “Hyomei” Inhaler Outfit, $1.00.
