SOME NEW STRUCTURES An interesting house is being built by Mrs. M. C. McAllister on Mintwood place, west of Columbia road, Washington Heights. It occupies a sixty-foot-front lot, but the architect, Mr. W. B. Wood, has left a space on each side. The main en- trance of the house {is through a gate in the hedge which will surround the lot, and thence by a porch on the side, so that the outlook is directly on a lawn instead of on the street. The feature of the house which makes it rather distinctive among the types of houses built in the suburban sections is the use of stucco and brick in- stead of wood. The lower part of the ex- terior walls is light buff brick, while the upper portion is of rough brick covered with stucco. In the gables is exposed the beam work, while the roof is covered with sea-green slate, with cresting of red tile. In addition to the opportunities afforded by this style of construction for providing an attractive color scheme, it is thought that it is more dyrable than frame construction and at the same time less expensive to maintain, as a saving is effected in the bills for exterior painting and also in in- surance rates. The interior arrangement comprises a hall, with a parlor trimmed with oak and a dining room paneled in the same wood. There fs a butler’s pantry, with back stairs and stairs to the cellar. The Kitchen is on the rear of the first floor. There are three bed rooms on the second floor, with a sew- ing room and a bath room, while on the third floor there are two bed rooms and a bath room, besides storage rooms. A Growing Population. One of the striking features in the ma- terial growth of the city just at present is the development of the street rafiroad sys- tems of the city. While to some extent this Is confined to an improvement in the e@ power, still what {s perhaps of greater significance is the effort being made to furnish railroad facilities for an exten- sive area of country about the borders of the city. To accomplish this millions of money are being furnished by capitalists, and it is evident they have faith in the fu- ture of the city. It is, however, not so much the future as the present that these men of business are making provision for. There has been no recent census of the city taken, but it is apparent that such official confirmation of the growth in the population is not needed by those who are looking for an invest- ment for their money. Sufficient proof of the fact that this city is forging ahead is furnished by the plans of those that are managing the various railroad enterprises of the city. In the Eustern Section. The most recent action in this dir-ction taken by a street railroad was at the meet- ing of the stockholders of the Columbia railroad during the past week, when it was decided to issue a half million of bonds for the purpose of building an extension of the road d to the bounds of the Dis- a distance of some seven miles, and to change the motive power of the city line from cable to the underground electric. The management of this road is recognized to be one of the most conservative in the city, and the decision to make such an ex- penditure for such a purpose affords a striking commentary on the needs of this growing community and the provisions that are looked upon as necessary in order to provide for present and future require- ments. During the past week also an additional interest in the securities of the Belt rail- road was secured by the owners of the Cisy and Suburban railroad, formerly the Eck- ington, and the presumption is that they contemplate making the improvements re- quired, which will result in the expenditure of at least three-quarters of a million dol- lars. As is well known, those in control of the City and Suburban railroad have al- ready made contracts for the re-equipment of the ne, which will take an expenditure of about a million and a half of dollars. This line is not only to extend to the bounds of the District, but beyond into Maryland, and there is confidence express- ed that the demand for homes will res-1lt soon in the building up of a large section of the country through which the road will pass. A similar idea in regard, not only to the future of the city, but to its present requirements, is evidently entertained by the western syndicate that is engaged in building a road through Marlboro to Chesapeake Beach. Old-Time Construction. There is a very general impression that buildings erected many years ago illustrate @ better style of construction than that of the present day. These who are of this opinion believe that not only superior ma- terials were used as compared with those employed in these degenerate days, but that the workmanship was of a higher grade. Such views, however, are not borne out by the experience of those who have had to do with the removal of a number of old buildings in this city. They have found that the methods of cheap, shoddy, work- manship were as famillar to our forefathers as they are today, with the advantage en- joyed by the former of a probably less stringent enforcement of building regula- tions. In the early days it was thovght that stone was the only suitable material to be laid in the ground as a foundation for buildings, and certainly to all outward appearances a wall built of such material gives the impression of greater strength and solidity than one built of brick. In one of the foundations thus constructed It was found that the stone mason had “‘slick- ed over” his work by throwing in dirt be- tween the layers of stone, rather than good honest mortar. Even in the cases of buil Ings erected before the period of mill-sawn lumber, when hewn joists were used, which have such :n honest, durable look to the modern eye, it was discovered that the saving builder of the olden time had placed them as far apart as the actual safety of the building would allow, so that the con- struction was really weak. However, in spite of this and other defects and weak- nesses, the building somehow remained in an upright position for nearly a century. ‘There seems to be a coherency about brick and mortar which defies all the ingenuity of shoddy workmanship, and walls so built remain standing when, according to all the rules of good construction, they ought to tumble into a shapeless mass of ruins. It is apparent that in the good old days there were, as now, people Who wanted to get more in the way of building than they were willing to pay for and builders who were ready and able to carry out their wishes. Some New Buildings. A three-story house is to be~erected at 2216 Massachusetts avenue by M. H. Me- line. The front will be built of press brick and light-colored stone. The house will be 25x46 feet. Mr. Meline will also erect a house at 2217 I street northwest, which will be four sto- pe high, 23x40 feet, and with press brick ront. Three houses are to be built by R. E. Middaugh, at 13-17 S street, which will be two stories in height, 16x32 feet, with bay fronts of press brick. E. P. Shuman will build a house on Em- poria street in Langdon Park. The ma- terial used will be brick, stone and wood. pine house will be two stories high, 36x33 eet. Two houses are to be erected on the south side of C street, near 3d street north- west, by D. A. Sanford, from plans pre- pared by Edward Woltz, architect. The total frontage will be fifty-six feet, with a depth of eighty-eight feet, and the interior arrangement will be such that they can be readily adapted for use as apartment hous: A five-story warehouse is to be built by D. A. Sanford on the south side of D street near 12th northwest. It will be 52x138 feet. The plans have been prepared by EB. Woltz, architect. Plans for a residence to be erected by T. V. Powderly in the Petworth subdivision have been made by Henry Simpson, archi- tect. It is to be built of frame. Three sto- ries high, 36x50 feet. —_+— DOOLEY’S STATEMENT. CHAPLAIN A Correction That Throws Light on a Vexed Question. To the Fditor of The Evening Sta In the report of proceedings before the war investigating committee, given in last evening's Star, I notice that Gen. Boynton was interrogated concerning certain state- ments attributed to Chaplain Dooley of the 8th and 9th New York Volunteers. In the interest of truth, I desire to state some facts apparently unknown to the committee and to Gen. Boynton, as otherwise they would not have treated these statements as actually proceeding from the chaplain. Father Dooley was overcome by the in- tense heat while on horseback at Chicka- mauga, and fell from his horse insensible, breaking his collar bone in the fall. He re- mained unconscious for several days, and, thougin he was subsequently able to return with the Sth to New York, he was still far from well when the writer comversed with him on the 14th of September, and he now lies ill of typhoid fever at Bis home in Lexington avenue, New York city. Other- wise, he could speak for himself, and this communicaticn would be needless. Father Looley stated, in the writer's presence, that no interviews with reporters, such as teiated In the newspapers, had ta en place with him. Indeed, no ane who knows this quiet and modest gentleman neeé be told that such expressions as “a veritable hell on earth” never emanated from his lip: He said that others were interviewed, who did not wish their names used for fear of military punishment, and these persons referred reportérs to him, because he was not commissioned. He was, in fact, too weak tg hold con- versaticn of any length, and when a_r porter would tell him that a certain officer had made statements, and weuld ask him if they were true, he usually replied chat he supposed the officer knew what he w: talking about or he would not m: : assertions. On the strength of arks like these, made by a man too enfeebie by illness to support an Snterview, certain sensational papers in New Yor'’c publisaed alleged “interviews with the chaplain which never took place. nfortuhately, his physical condition since his return has ‘pre- cluded him from making any public state- ment, and will prevent his appearance be- fore the committee, though he has said he would be perfectly willing to sive his tes- timony. It seems hardly the proper thing for the committee to assume that the a leged interviews occurred, since everybody Knows the unscrupulous way in which ti “yellow” journals manufactura But Gen. Boynton need not feel thi called on to “take fssue’” with aplain Dooley on the tasis of these reported statements. Gen. Boynton stands too high to permit his word to be questioned. At the same time, It must be remembered that, while a general officer views the camp as an entirety, a chaplain, devoting his time to the needs of the sick and dying, n concentrated on many de and inefilciency that easily eye of the general. The real fault lies, doubtless, in the deficient train- ing of volunteer officers und soldiers in matters of discipline and hygiene essential to the preservation of health where many thousands of men are kept for months at one station. CHARLES C. SNOW. October 7, 1808. —_>___. Literatare for Soldiers. To the Fdltor of The Evening Star: Many appeals for reading matter for the soldiers have been issued and responded to, but in making this request for late maga- zines for shipment to the soldiers in Porto Rico I feel that a statement should be made regarding the class of Mterature desirable for use in the camps and hospitals. Since the opening of the post at Washington bar- racks to convalescents from other camps I have had ample opportunity to observe just the kind of books and papers which most please the “boys.” Those who use the magazines are of two classes, the first, and but a small per cent of the whole, caring only for the pictures, while the majority of the men who are sufficiently interested to ask for reading matter are anxious to keep informed re- garding current topics. This is absolutely impossible if the magazines and papers fur- nished bear an old date. Some people im- agine they have displayed a proper amount of patriotism if they have cleared their at- tics of an overflow of antiquated, moth- eaten and dusty magazines and contributed them to the soldiers. Among the books sent to the Washington barracks have been many copies of old cook books, aids to needlework, works on scientific subjects, including the Anthropological Magazine, and innumerable school book catalogues, all of which, when new, might have proved highly entertaining to the particular classes of individuals for whom they ‘were intend- ed by the publishers, but were not particu- larly attractive to the sick soldiers. It is needless to say that all such generously contributed specimens of the sprinter’s art have found a merited place oncthe dump. What the soldiers want is fresh, timely reading matter. Such reading will prove of double interest to the men now doing garrison duty in our newly aequired terri- tory. In order that they shall be supplied with the late war numbers -of owr best magazines, I hereby suggest that these per- sons who have extra copies wall contribute them for this purpose. The «war articles began to grow very interesting with the July numbers of most of our standard pub- lications, hence any copies not older than four months would prove acceptable, and may be sent to my home, from where, through the courtesy of the depot quarter- master, I shall forward them to Porto Rico early next week.

THE NEW ERA IN PORTO RICO Endeavor of the People to Become American, Progress Shown in the Daily Paper Recently Established — A Unique Sketch of President McKinley. Homecomers from the war, which has carried them into hitherto foreign parts, are bringing back many souvenirs of their sojourn in strange lands. Some of these are millitary momentos, relics of the bat- tlefield, suggestive of gory incidents and un- pieasant to contemplate. Others breathe the spirit of the new progress which the American arms have infused into Porto Rica and Cuba. Of the latter sort is a newspaper furnished The Star by Lieuten- ant Alfred A. Smith of Company H, Dis- trict of Columbia Volunteers, who recently arrived here with his compa which was detailed for engineering duty in Porto Rico. The journal is called La Nueva Era, a term easily translatable. It is directed by Jose Llorens y Echevarria and is published at Ponce. This particular issue is No. 2: of volume 1, dated August 25, 1898, thus revealing the true ext of the “new era’’ which the title bespeaks. It is print- ed mainly fn Spanish, but even an Ameri- can who has no knowledge of that lan- guage can detect throughout its four pages evidences of the stanchest patriotism, the kind created by the advent of General and_his conquering fore Jose sy Echevarria ts alr y very much of an American citizen in Sings of the “new era” which has come to Porto Rico are abundant. Here is an advertisement of the newly opened “Cafe Washington,” there the card of a lady who desires to teach English and Spanish, the former to Porto Ricans, the latter to Americans. Next comes the nouncement of the publication of a “new grammar” guaranteed to teach “el {idioma ingle: the queer quirks of the tongue of the new owners of the land. In its new-born en- thusiasm as a newspaper published with- out the restrictions of subserviency to a crabbed official Spanish censor, “La Nueva Era” prints in bold type at the foot of its first page this confident announcement: ste diario publica las notictas del dia con la mayor regularidad,” which, being literally translated, is to the effect that “This journal publishes the news of the day with the greater regular! Without pausing to reflect w Ss a sug- gestion of comparis new era” and the old, the latter having been marked at times by a painful uncertain as to both the app » and the relia- bility of the “new is interesting to press on to the p: article of this pe cular issue in entitled, “Mr. MeKiniey tes.” It is worth eratim eproduction in full, verbatim et lit- Sketch of the President. “William McKinley, the President of the United Obi Siates, born in Nile sth of February, 1844, and is the cendant of Scotch and “rish families. At five years of age was sent to a primary sehool, and on his sixteenth year he had won the diploma of profesor of public in- structior “In May, 1861, he enlisted In the 3 a soldier in the 23d Regiment of Infantry of Ohio; he fought courageously and skilfully during the war of the secession (1861-65), and on its termination he had the grade of major (commandanv). “After his return to private life, he de- voted himself with laudable constancy and remarkable talent to the study of law, and he commenced to practice in this profession in 1867 at Canton. In virtue of his diploma, he was appointed two years after district attorney tor the district of Stark, Ohio, which office he filled until 1876, when he was nominated by the republican party, in view of his great political aptitudes, as rep- resentative to the Forty-fifth national Con- gress, und he was successively elected for and attended the Congresses 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 and 01 “He was distinguished by his fellow-rep- resentatives with the tile of ‘Napoleon of Protectionism.’ “The act which has given him fame in public life was precisely the colosal bill which bears his name, by which unlimited protection is given to american products. which was approved by Congress on , 1890, by the Senate on the 30th September, and by the President, Ben- jamin Harrison, on the Ist of October of the same year. “In 1891 the republicans of his native state nominated him for governor of the state of Ohio, having been elected by a plu- rality of 21,000 votes over the most popular candidate of that state, Mr. Campbell. In 1893 he was re-elected, and in 1893 he re- tired to private life, in order to arrange his private affairs, which had suffered for want of his inspections. “Subsequently McKinley attained the pinnacie of glory, having been selected and appointed to the highsst and most hon alle office with which American democracy rewards the services of its great men, that of President of a free couairy, respected for its institutions and its power, having a population than more than seventy mil- liens inhabitants. “Let us say something about his election —it was the struggle of titlans; the con- test between the republican und democratic parties was hot and imposing. According to the assertions of the pardsens of Mr. McKinley, th? democratic administraucn had bankrupted the country and in conse- quence innumerable manufaccories were closed, banks suppressed, and above all, the scarcity of work, which caused the mcst frightful misery of wage-workers. The republic, in order to change this sad state of things, spent one million and a half dollars in gold, of which Mr. W. JK. Vanderbilt contributed alone one hundred fifty thousand dollars in gold. Ir. McKinley further experienced anoth- er pleasure, which only great benefacuors of their country can enjo: A parade of over one hundred thousand citizens cheered him in the streets of New York on hearing of his election, broadway, the dorsal bone of the American metropolis, presenting an enchanting, magical and imposing aspec and the name of Mr. McKinley was ch-e ed with enthusiastic outbursts ef hurrahs and the accompaniment of many Lands of music proclaiming his fame. > of on my “To terminate these brief biographical notes, written in haste, let us say Some- thing about the physiognomy of Mr. Me- Kinley. W2 have opposite us his portrait, which was presented io us by one of bis great friends. : “The volume of his head reveals tne great boldness of his skull, his spacious forehead, the clevation of his thougnts and his bust round and fleshy, without beard, the sympathetic expression of a nobl> soul, in the interior of which one may dscover a thinker of prompt decisions, who d fends tenaciously his opinions after having weighed and meditated on trem. “He shows himself to be in his govern- ment the ardent supporter ef the Mcnroe doctrine and his constant bias, in the ac- tual Spanish-American conflict, was always to acquire the possession of the Island of Porto Rico, to serve as the watch tower to the commerce of the United States, and as a universal station to the vessels that direct their course to the Pacific, when the opening of the interoceanic canal which he intends to build takes place. In this Mc- Kinley seeks the greatest glory of his presi- dential term. “As to tne rest, according to what we know, Mr. McKinley has a particular pre- dilection for his home in Canton, where, al- though he is not a sibarite, he enjoys the comforts of an american home.” This biography is signed by Edward Neu- mann.

Brittingham Tells the Story of His Recent Annual Trip and Its Results. Mr. E. L. Brittingham of the Hotel Ra- letgh has returned from his annual hunt- ing trip to the “game paradise of the world,” as it is called, in the heart of the Rocky mountains in Colorado. Mr. Brit- tingham brought back with him as trophies of his month’s sojourn in the wilds the heads of six bucks of the black-tail deer family, one bearing antlers with nine points, one having eight, three having seven and one having four. Five of the bueks weighed over 300 pounds each. also brought back the skin of a mountain lion, which He large seemed inclined to contest the right of trail with him. There were ten gentlemen in the party, including Chief Howe of the Railroad Telegraphers' Association, General Passenger Agent An- drew of the Denver and Rio Grande rail- road, L. J. Tauquerry of the Denver and Rio Grande and William A. Beauchard, cashier of the Denver National Bank. Location of the Grounds. “We hunted and fished along the Wil- liams fork of the White river, between Pyramid and Pogoda Peak,” sald Mr. Brit- tingham last night. “It is truly a paradise for sportsmen. It is in the very heart of the Rockies. We left the Denver and Rio Grande at Rifle and took our wagon train and went miles info the mountains. Such superb scenery cannot be easily “found, and I tell you that constant com- munion with it for a few days makes a bet- ter man out of a fellow. Game? You never conceived anything like it. The second day out I killed a black-tailed buck weighing over 300 pounds, with seven-point antlers. It’s the only place in the world, I reckon, where a man can pick his deer. You will see a bunch with twenty bucks in it spread out before you and can select the biggest and best and crack away. I killed a moun- tain lion, among other things, including black wolves and bob cats, as they call ‘em out there—what we call wild cats nearer east. They were plentiful as squir- rels.

One traveler confessed to having made a bicycle trip of some two thousand miles, but admitted that it was over the smouta asphalt pavements of Washington. Anot er member had stood upon Plymouth Rock, while one had made a pilgrimage to tb birthplaces of Washington and Lee, and several ladies had patriotically spent the summer in ministering to the needs of the brave soldier boys. One of the defenders of our country being present, he was called upon and gave an account of camp life at Tampa. Among others participating in the program were Mr. Whitaker, Mrs. Metcalf, Mrs. Sperry, Mrs.Willis, Mrs. Case, Dr. Coe, Dr. Klemm, Prof. Kirk and Mr. Hall.
