E, NOVEL BUILDING MATERIAL , CONCRETE TO FORM WALLS or SEVEN-STORY STRUCTURE. Application for Permit Receives Favorable Consideration—Combina- tien Which is Growing in Favor. In the matter of the application of Gressrs. Hamilton & Colbert for a permit to ‘Erect office building at 41 a seven-story street, Captain Beach, the Engineer soe ssioner, has recommended that th> Application be granted. This application h ved from the municlpal authorities no consideration, because the pro- Posed building will be of a somewhat novel charact>r, it being Intended to construct the out and inside walls of concrete. ‘The structure will be 30 feet 8 Inches in front width, with a depth of 93 feet 3% inches, and It ts estimated that {t will cost Ps the architect being Mr. Leon Des- sez and the builder the Cranford Paving Company. Twisted iron rods will be utilized in connection with the concrete walls, the thickness of the outside walls to be twelvs inches. In a report upon the application for the permit the inspector of buildings, Mr. John B. Brady, stated that the building regulations do not provide for this method of construction. Captain Gaillard, one of the assistants to the Engineer Commissioner, reported that » has personality inspected two large uildings of this type of construction, one being a factory in Bayonne, N. Y., and the other a church in Brooklyn. He was, he é, favorably impressed with both struc- ures, and the combination of fron and con- erete, he added. is growing in favor. In fecommending that the permit b3 granted, Captain Beach said: Walls of Sufficient Strength. “The strain on the walls of this building has been computed by the architect and re- calculated by Assistant Engineer Phillips of the sewer division. The plans, as modi- fizd by the architect, show a compressive Strain within the Hmits allowed by the regulations under a floor load of eighty Pounds to the square foot upon all floors simultaneously, a condition which js not likely to occur actually. The walls are of suffictent strength, as calculated, to resist all compressive strains without taking into account the strengthening effect of the twisted tron. The partitions run from the foundation through each floor, and help to sustain the roof. While the building is a new type of construction, it appears to be designed upon rational lines, and, although not covered by the building r2gulations, I would recommend that the permit be issued for its construction, the details of-the con- struction to be closely supervised, a matter which the location of the building rend2rs easy.” lt is understood that Captain Beach's as- scciates will approve his recommendation and that the permit will be according!: issued. i’ ——~-—_ GUILTY OF PENSION FRAUDS. Recent Prosecutions Reported to the Bure: Catharine Giesbers, who ts pensioned as the widow of John Giesbers, formerly of a Washington regiment, was arrested-at Ap- pleton, Wis., recently, charged with hay- ing ‘fraudulently drawn a pension based upon the service of the above named sol- dier after her remarriage, and was held by the United States commissioner under $00 bonds, to await the action of the grand jury.

SPORTING NEWS Splendid weather yesterday made the opening games of the National League base ba'l season en auspicious one. The total attendance in the four cities where games were played has been given out as 52,0), making an average attendance of 13,000. Last year the opening day was a miserable failure, rain knocking out all but two games, with an attendance of about 12,000 for both. New York and St. Louis carried off the palm yesterday in attendance, both elties having 15,000 spectators present, while Cincinnati had 12,000 and Boston 10,000, Players who had lately worn the Washington uniforms were very much in evidence. Mercer, who played a good third base for New York, is credited with losing the game for his club through care'essness on the bases. Jim McGuire caught for Brooklyn and is credited with splendid work, handling all of thirteen chances cleanly, five of which were beautiful throws to second, which cut off runners trying to pilfer that sack. In Boston “Buck” Free- man went to the bat in the ninth inning in place of Cateher Clark and drove the ball a mite over the rightfield fence, while Bar- ry, who replaced Pitcher Bailey at the bat, secured two nice singles in one inning. Jim- my Slagle and Dan McGann also did well in their respective positions with Philadel- phia and St. Louis. . As to the winners, Philadelphia defeated Boston in the tenth inning by the score of 19 to 17; New York went under to Brook- lyn, 3 to 2; St. Louls easily won from Pitt burg, 3 to 0, while Chicago scored a vic- tory over Cincinnati, 13 to 10, Brooklyn, 3; New York, 2. The game at New York between the Brooklyns and Giants abounded throughout with good pitching and fielding, the Ewing- ites showing up remarkably well. Up to the seventh inning the Grooms were unable to solve Carrick’s pitching, while Kennedy was hit quite hard in the early innings by the Glants.

The Harvard players shifted their prac- tice grounds yesterday to Van Ness Park and ran against the strong Y. M. C. A. team, the latter winning by the score of 6 to 5. The wearers of the crimson had quite an easy thing of it for several innings, but then the locals pulled up even, and finally landed the winning run in the ninth inring. Both sides tried out several twirlers, all of whom were given excellent support. ‘The same teams will play again today at Yan Ness Park, and ‘tomorow the long-antici- pated contest etween Georgetown and Harvard will be pulled:off at the campus of the former. Theitwister for the blue and gray has not yet-been determined on, but it 1s more than probable that White will be about fit to go in.anddo good work. —- Gallaudets Lost to M. A. C. Boys. A surprise was‘ spréng upon the strong base ball teain ofthe Gallaudet College yes- terday afternoon, by. the Maryland Agricul- tural College on the latter's grounds, the agriculturists winning by a score of 8 to 6. A young boy by, the name of Brown, who has been pitching for the second team, was the stumbling block for the Gallaudets, who could not touch him at any stage of the game. “It’s an fl] wiftd that blows nobody good” was realized in-all its truthfulness. Hamilton, the negulan, pitcher, was inca- Pacitated, owing, to 4, split finger on his right hand, and with the game practically given up before it was started, Brown was called upen to amuse the visitors, and how well this was done is shown by the score. Brown received perfect support from both in and outfields. The Hyattsville team will play the farm- ers next Saturday on the college srounds, Amole's' Great Twirling. Pitcher Amole, the -ex-Senator, shut the Detroit team out without a hit or a run in the opening game of the American League season with Buffalo yesterday afternoon at Detrott. Detroit had only five men on ‘rst base In the nine innings. Before the game the two teams paraded through the city, headed by 200 members of the local branch of the Elks.

FSrom the Ohicago Tribune. Chicago business houses are putting a ban on cigarette smoking by employes, saying the habit {s Incompatible with efficient serv- fee. Absolute prohibition has been declar- ed by three large firms and one railroad, and others are expected to follow this in- itlative. Aside from effects on the mind it is claimed that nicotine is doing such phys- ical Injury to clerks and office boys as to cause loss to employers. One firm has started a fund to be subscribed to by twen- ty business houses, who are asked to join in a crusade against the use of the clgar- ette by the employes of all the large de- partment stores and the factories in Chi- cago. By the prohibitions already enforced 1,100 employes are affected. Of these 80 per cent are boys under eighteen years old. Of these boys it is estimated that 600 who now are abstaining from cigarette smoking formerly were smokers. The objections made by the employers which led up to the prohibition of cigarette smoking by employes were as follows: That the smell of nicotine from the breath of employes is annoying to customers and to other employes who are not users; that nicotine demoralizes the employe and af- fects his honesty; that cigarettes make the employe nervous; that they stunt his men- tal growth, befog his memory and prevent an alert intellect; that physically they af- fect the employe g0 that he cannot give the best service to the employer. ‘The fact that a number of business houses have taken this action spontaneously has convinced the officials of the Anti-Cigarette League that hundreds of other concerns are ready to join the crusade. In a few days Miss Lucy Page Gaston, superintend- ent of the league, will send out a circular to ascertain the possibilities of organizing a society for the prohibition of cigarette smoking among employes. ——_—_+e+____ Linguistic Oddities.

He was an educated young fellow, a graduate of a German university, and he Was -very anxious to learn English. He drifted out to Chicago, and from there to a lumber camp up in Wisconsin. Here, he thought, would be an excellent chance to learn the language. But all the men in the camp Were Irishmen. Of course, the young German didn't know this, and he fell read ily into their mode of speech.
