MIR. Carlisle will transact the public business,
when not occupying the chair in the House,
amid handsome and luxurious surroundings.
The Speaker always goes to this room upon his
arrival at the Capitol, and stays there until the
hour for calling the House to order. He sees
visitors and holds consultations with members
there, besides signing bills and other hume rous
documents which require his signature. There
is another room down stairs, which is the Speak
er's private room where no one can come with
out an invitation from the Speaker Frequently
he has his lunch sent to this room, but generally
he takes it in the upstairs room, because it is
more convenient and saves tlme which is quite
valuable to the presiding officer of the House.
Whenever the Speaker is in his room messen-
ger is stationed outside to carry in cards from
visitors, and to keep out those who have no bust
ness with the Speaker.
