C=12: ‘STONES REMOVED | 10 GUARD PUBLIC Trim on U.'S. Court of Claims Ordered Chipped Away to Prevent Accident. S0 badly weather-worn has the “brownstone™ trim on the United States Court of Claims, formerly the old Cor- coran Art Gallery, Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue. become that the Government s chipping off all the Joose pieces of stone to prevent an accident. At the present time, so far as could “be learned, the final plans for any refinishing of the outside of this historic old building have not been completed but the loose stone has become so hazardous that it was decided that to avoid passersby being struck by falling pleces it would be necessary to take immediate action. The brownston. used in ornamenting this old Capital landmark was included in the building when it was constructed in 1849. It was built by William W. Corcoran for his first art gallery. The stone, acccrding to J. Bradley Tanner, chief clerk and commissioner of the United States Court of C.aims, was sub- stantial stone when it was incorporated in the building, but the workmen put it in wrong. Instead of laying the stone S0 that the seams would be horizontal, Mr. Tanner said, the stone was laid with the seams vertical. The many vears of alternate rain, snow, ice, freezing and thawing has enabled the weather to get into these seams and considerable pieces of them have broken away. Two colossal bronze lions which were cdst from molds made over the famous lons by Canova at the tomb of Clement XIII, in St. Peter's in Rome, at first ornamented the entrance, but were transferred 1o the new art gallery, where they now guard the entrance. The building was first used by the Government during the Civil War by the quart>rmaster general's department of the Army, and in 1873 the Corcoran collection was housed there. Later the Government _occupied the place with the United States Court of Claims and in 1901 purchased the property for ebout $300,000. ROYALISTS IN LINE LISBON, Portugal, August 7 (#).— Portuguese Royalist party, after an 18- hour session of the executive counicl. has decided to support the new National Union organization recently proposed by the present dictatorship. A long manifesto to members of the party, signed by the personal repre- gentative of ex-King Manuel, Col. Aires Ornelas, said that Monarchists were free to join the organization without breaking their oath of allegiance to the dethroned monarch. It adds that Royalists cannot with- hold support from a government that has restored internal peace, reorganized the national finances, cleansed the pub- | lic services and stimulated trade. “We consider it the patriotic duty of every good Royalist to rally around the the banner of the new organization, for which the assent of the supreme chief has _already been securcd TRUSSES fitted expertly.
