Saerstary Orders Inscription on New
Building Changed.
If Jamee Wilson, secretary of the de
partment of agriculture, held the port
folio of the treasury department, “B
Pluribus Unum” would In all likeli
hood cease to be the inscription on
America’s almighty dollar, for th& sec
retary has recently given utterance to
his abhorrence of “Latin bosh” in pic
turesque if not poetic language, says a
Washington special to the New’ York
Times.
This abhorrence is of such a decided
nature that it has resulted in sculptors
having to rechisel the inscriptions on
the new’ agriculture building.
The new’ home for the department
when finished will cost about $3,000,-
000 and is nearing completion. The
secretary is taking as much interest
In its progress as though it were de
signed for a country home for himself.
On the uortli front are four pedi
ments, on each of which are a male
and a female figure, seated, with a
shield between them. On these shields
are inscribed "Fructus,” “Cereales,”
“Forestes” and “Flores.”
A few’ days ago the head of the de
partment came into the office of his as
sistant and friend, Dr. B. T. Gallo
way, chief of the bureau of plant in
dustry, who is also deeply interested
In the pi ’us for the new building, and
In the course of their conversation the
pediments were considered. These are
In full view of Dr. Galloway's office.
In glancing at them and in looking at
the photos that had just been taken
Secretary Wilson asked:
‘ Doctor, what do these words mean? i
‘Fructus’—what on earth Is that?”
“Why, that’s the Latin for fruit, and |
the others mean cereals, forests and
llowers,” replied Galloway.
“Well, why don't we say so, then, 1
and cut out this foolish Latin?” was |
the prompt reply.
Orders were thou given that the
stonecutters erase the offensive w’ords
and substitute up to date “United
States.”
Dr. Galloway closed the Incident by
remarking that it was Just as well to
change them, as there was no such
Latin word as “forestes” anyway, and
that, at least, would have to be
changed.
LUXURY FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Splendid Reception Room For His Use
In Washington's Union Depot.
The new Union railway station at
Washington will be supplied with a
unique feature—a special entrance
and reception room for the president
of the United States. The president’s
entrance is an archway of marble
thirty’ feet in width, says Rene Bachc
In the course of an article in Harper’a
Weekly. “On alighting from his car
riage beneath it the foremost citiwen
of the notion will step into a vestibule
of noble proportions—of the same
width as the archway and twenty feet
In depth, .n this vestibule the per
sona who accompany him will be wait
ed upon by trained attendants, while
the president himself will seek pri
vacy In a room set apart for his ex
clusive use on the right hand adjoin
ing.
“The president’s room, as it is called,
will be most beautifully and luxurious
ly furnished. Costly oriental rugs
will cover the floor; the ceiling will be
done In gold and color, and the walla
will be paneled in blue silk. In the
middle will ije a table suitable for
writing, provided with a solid sliver
Inkstand and other appurtenances to
match, this and all the other articles
of furniture being of mahogany. Ail
of this luxury jvill not cost the chief
executive a penny, hut will be paid
for out of the pockets of the railroad
companies.”

Canada’s Rifle Clubs.
In rifle practice among civilians Can
ada is far ahead of the United States.
It lias 122 military rifle associations
an I t"li civilian rifle associations. The
military associations have a member
ship of 18,088 and Ihe civilian 31.370.
In Canada each member of a civilian
club draws 100 rounds of Ammunition

rifle to every four men. If no rifle
range is available it small cash allow

Novelty In Trusts.
Here’s a new thing in the trust line.
The ministers of Kankakee, 111., have
formed a local trust to control mar
riage ami burial fees, says the New
York Tribune. They must have $5 for
performing either the marriage or
burial service, although the by’aws of
the union do not prohibit them from
taking more if it is offered to them.
Well, that's pretty tough, because
marriage and death might properly be
regarded as ’he necessaries of life.
Being horn is also a necessary of life,
but the Kankakee baby will not have
to bear the expenses of Us own debut. I
Therefore we congratulate the unborn '
of Kankakee.
