Mullett has method Of mpressing the
rural member. He conducts him the whole
length of his lcng office on the first floor
of the Treasury Department, where a
dozen employees are at work. In passing
he casually blows up each draughtsman for
pretended error or disobedience of orders,
thus showing his business capacity and
minute attention to details At the lower
end of the office hang perspective sketches
of the New York post Office. The plans,
which are tiat-ron shaped, are produced
There. Senator says Mullett, you
wouldn't think anybody could do much
with that kind Of "A lot, would your
"No." says the Senator, who believes on
pretends to that an exactly square ground
plan is the natural prerequisite to effective
architecture.

Bundles of drawings of complicated roof
,nlsses and circular staircases, with which
Mullett is about as familiar rs he Is with
the horizontal palallaX of the moon, are
displayed. 1T took me 4 day and half,
says Mullett, so calculate the strains on

| This displays his professional skill and his
intimate acquaintance with artistic effects.
at is remarkable fact, senator, he says,
"that the drawings and finished work of
this building (the New York pos Office

the equally remarkable fact that this exact
correspondence results from the circum-
stance that II considerable part of the draw
ings are made after the work is actually
built.
In person Mullett is something over four
feet high. His manner is of the stately
order characteristic OF pea on griddle.
His disposition Is compound of insOlence
to subordinates and tordyism to superiors.
He delights 20 give his visitors their official
titles in full. Judge, colonel, and honor

Occasionally he receives set back. This
was the case in an encounter in 1871 with
the late Chief Justice Chase. lie was en-
deayoring to impress MI Chase Win the
magnitude of his genius in connection with
the interior finish of the United States
court room in the New York post office
building.

you think that room is, Chief JustccY
Mr.. Chase couldn't say, I'm sure
Mullett-That room, Chief Justice, is
forty feet high,
Mr.. Chase (grufiiy) Altogether too high,
