''Lost," highly dramatic melodrama, will be presented at the Christmas matinee at Carll's Opera House to-day by Miss Ramie Austen and Dore Davidson, supported by a company especially selected for this engage ment. The chief interest in the play centers in Chuff, half-witted vagabond. MT. Da- vidson, who is a good character actor, gives an original and forcible interpretation of the part. Miss Ramie Austen is said to be a young and very pretty actress. ''Lost" will be repeated this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening.

ers, but they don't care for this for polit-
ical differences rarely make personal feel
ings. The seats are distributed by sort of
lottery system. blindfolded page drawing
numbered balls from box, the numbers
corresponding with the numbers placed OPP
poslte the names. and as they are called the
member is entitled to make his choice of
seats Back of the seats is an open space
called the ''lobby," in which there are sofas
and chairs for the use of members. Still
back of this are doors leading to cloak
rooms. where there are sofas, washstands,
toilet articles, barber chairs and boot
blacks.
This is the still life picture. To attempt
to picture house and senate chambers when
the presiding officer is in the chair his
clerks in their places and the members at
their desks in front, each anxious for an
opportunity to have his say. is task too
great for the limits of the article. Imagine
a man in each of these chairs, the presiding
officer standing behind his desk and plying
the gavel with might and main in the en-
deavor to obtain order. ten, dozen or
twenty men ON their feet. shouting and
struggling for recognition. hundred OF
more talking and smoking and telling
stories and roaring with laughter, dozen
or so sleeping on sofas. score or two writ

dozen listening to the proceedings, and you
will get some idea of the scenes to be en-
acted at the capitol daily from this until
the blistering heat of next summer shall
close the national circus.

WASHINGTON, Dec. AT noon on

and the congress of the United States will
again be in session. 1t is curious factor,
the gathering of congress, and it is to try to
give the readers Of this correspondent e
some idea of the scene that this article is
TO be directed. The capitol is long and
large building-so long and large that to
walk around it, with its terraces now being
built, you must travel almost half mile.
The old building was of brown sandstone,
but when the country outgrew this and it
was determined to build wings at either
end they were constructed of white lime

being exactly like the marble you are ac-

at the north and south ends of the
building are like huge boxes set down at
the ends of this building. Take an ordi-

TIE RIHERS SONG.


The voice of the river is sweet and strong
1t sings to the rushes an old, old song.
The wind is tickle, and varies its tone,
Sometimes a whisper and sometimes a
moan.
The leaves and the branches rustic and
sway,
Changing their music ten times day;
And the voice of man Is voice Of change,
Mirthful and passionate, loving and
strange.
But be the day cloudy, or brief, or long,
The river will sing you the same old song
'Tis song of gladness, and rest, and hope
OF bright life, and wider scope;
Of narrowing chlnnels and wild rocks
past,
And the broad blue sea with its peace at
last.

Wintering South.

The visitors who have spent the
winter in Florida are going North
now by the hundreds. 1t has been,
notwithstanding the hard times, an
unusually prosperous year for the
Florida hotels. The New Orleans
Exposition, perhaps, had some
thing to do with this, as so many Of
the persons who came down here to
see that great display, went home
by way of Florida, remaining sew
eral weeks at Jacksonville or other
points; but whether there had
been an Exposition o. net, Florida
hotels would have done good bust
ness, for there winter traffic is I'm.
proving every year. Two years
ago from October to March, 5000
visitors spent week or more in
Florida, the bulk of them remain
lug there the entire winter; in
1883-S4, their number increased to
1000; while this year their mum.
Der was $4,000. There is an inn
mense amount of profit in these ig-
ures. These sojOurners come, not
like visitors to the Exposition tor .
week or so but for nearly tho
whole winter. They are generally
well.to.do persons able and willing
to pay a reasonable rate tor their
board, and who do not fight
against prices and endeavor to
beat down every charge. The Flor.
ida hotels, of which there are flf.
teen large ones in Jacksonville
alone, are thriving with this bUei.
ness. Their prosperity shows what
can and ought TO be done by New
Orleans and the various watering
places in it's vicinity. Without say.
ing word against Florida, we can
certainly claim that our Gulf coast
is as agreeable in climate, aud With
as many attractions IN hunting,

to do this We must have first class
hotels comfortably kept aud at mod.
crate prices. The Exposition will
undoubtedly leave much of this
business behind here, which, il
properly cultivated, will prove an
immense benefit to the SOuth in
every way, not simply by the mo-
ney left behind but in making the
North better acquainted with this
country and turning tide of per-

THE ROLLER SKATING INDUSTRY.
There are about 400 persons en-.
gagged in the manufacture of these
skates, and the monthly product is
not far from 80, 600 pairs. The most
of these cost about 55 cents pair,
are sold at wholesale at $1.37 per
pair and cost the skater Sc. Com
plete machinery is the cause OF the
reduction in first cost. The aim
now is to make a skate for fancy
skating that will turn in less than
seven inches-the present mini
mum. There are about 90, 900 rinks
in the country, aud the demand for
skates is greater than the supply.
The craze will, of course, die out,
and, even should it not, the indus.
try will be OyerdOne. Meanwhile
the makers of roller skates and the
owners OF roller rinks are making
the most of the shining hOur.-N.

A CHICAGO GIRLS ROLLER SKATES.
The mania struck Chicago like a
blizzard, and every black-eyed bru-
nette in the Garden City went wild,
not only over the exhilaratIng
sport, but how they were to secure
skates large enough to fit them. A
New York manufacturer took con-
tract to supply the demand, but af-
ter involving the Pittsburg Iron
Company and using all the cherry
timber III the AdirOndacks, he be.
came bankrupt, and committed sui
eide recently by lifting on end one
of the skates and letting it rail- up
OH his neck. When the fate of the
contractor was announced the
Western beauties were in despair,
and their tears ran in rivulets into
Lake Michigan. They soon, how.
ever, overcame this difficulty, and
are using Chicago aud Northwest
ern fat cars. The Only difficulty
experienced is that but one girl can
occupy the rink at the same time
