UNCLE SAM'S BOYS.
The Next Blue Book Will Contain
10000 Names.

The first blue book was transmitted to
the Senate by Alexander Hamilton, Secre
tary of the Treasury, in compliance with
a resolution of the Senate. The second
blue book was sent to the House by Presi-
dent Jefferson, as he said, in accordance
with suggestion made by him in his last
annual message. Some fourteen years
elapsed before another blue book was is
sued, and then in the year 1916 Congress
passed law requiring the Secretary of
State to compile and print once every two
years "a register of all officers and agents,
civil, military and naval, in the service OF
the United States" This was practically
the first register Of the present series, and
the register has been issued every two
years since that date. The period of 73
years covered by these publications has
been one of almost constant growth in the
executive branches of the government.
Every biennial register contains more
names than the preceding one, and the
new one to be issued next winter, it is pre-
dicted, will not destroy the precedent. 1t
is estimated that the new blue book will
show that there are between $1,000 and
10000 persons in this city alone in the
employ of the government. The complete
roster will probably contain over 10000
names of employees This latter number
includes the postoffice and customs en-
ployes and the great army of men in all
parts of the country who are needed to as
sist in keeping in motion the mach merry of
the government.

The Washington Capitol.

When Congress and its thousands of
human satellites return to the city in Oc-
tober they will find the capital turned
round. The great building has been made
to face the west. Of course it was not
lifted bodily on wheels or iackscrews and
its face turned toward the vast domain
over which it holds sway. That would be
too great feat for the most skillful of
modern engineers, even if backed by all
the surplus in the Treasury.
But an improvement has been made,
and will be completed within few months
which makes the west front of the Capitol
its most beautiful and impressive facade.
1t is an improvement which transforms
the plain and almost dingy west front, that
was the rear of the Capitol, to palace
rivaling in grandeur the most famous
buildings of the moderns or ancients.
Such transformation is this that IN all
probability for the last time the President
has taken the oath of cffice on the eastern
piazza If practical convenience and senti-
mental fitness shall prove stronger than
precedent future Presidents will be inau-
gurated on the great new terrace which
overlooks the city Of Washington-will
take the oath of Office with face toward
the broad expanse of territory between the
Potomac and the Golden Gate.
When Congress and the people see the
magic effect wrought by architect and
builder, with their hands of grimy ioil and
their materials of glistening marble, they
will be likely to take gentle hold of the
Goddess OF Liberty herself and turn her
face from the East to the West.

THE VICTORY.

In dark wood met Love and Hate one day.
Love bore a lily in her hand, end there,
Between her white breasts lay a whittier dove.
Oh she was youthful, tender, sweet, and fair
With a soft smile moving her childish lips,
And soft inquiry looking from her eyes,
Whose limpid depths seemed like two azure
wells
Where piteous fountains could the instant rise
Hate was dark -browed, and black was her
attire;
Her ebon locks dropped heavy to her knees,
Her hands were strong and fierce, her wrists
were strong;
Her black. full glance was enemy to peace.
Most powerful-of mighty frame was she
She did not stoop beneath the branching
wood
But beat 1t back with haughtiest disdain,
AS one ruled by a wild DER conquertng mood.
And Hate saw Love come down the woodland
path.
And all her veins ran as with molten fire.
"Now will | spurn the weakling men name
Love-"
Said hate in the hot heat of mad desire.
And Love saw Hate and sweetly smiled on her,
And lifted from her bosom the white dove
And whispering kissed it, and 1t flew
In flutttring rings about them and above.
And falling, fell npon the dark brown breast
OF Hate, while Love stood tremulously near.
Her soft eyes lifted in a tender quest
Edged with the glitter of a shining tear.
And Hate loved Love that moment and fell
down
Before her in that shadowy forest way
And kissed her garments hem, and meekly
owned
Herself Loves hard-won subject from that

A Great Editors Grave.

A you pass through Cave Hill cemetery
along the avenue that runs just to the
northword of the public vaults you will,
perhaps, see the grave of George Prentice.
You will doubtless be astonished to see it
marked by one of the smallest and cheap
est pieces of marble to be found in the
cemetery. Near to this grave are those of
Mrs. Prentice and Clarence Prentice, the
son of George d. / mentioned this to a
gentleman who was friend of the great
editor and poet, and who is familiar with
the facts connected with the closing year of
his life He said:
when Prentice died there was q notice
of only few lines in the Journal concern
ing his death, and nothing like a proper
obituary sketch. The paper did not ap-
pear in mourning at all 1t was under
stood that its proprietors, for some reason,
learned that it would injure the circula-
tion if much were said concerning the dead
journalist Furthermore. for over fifteen
years after Prentice's death his grave was
unmarked by any stone whatever.
Prentice died poor. His last days were
passed in q little furnished room in the
yard of his son ClareRce, who owned q
farm near the country place of the late DIR.

wife died many years before he did"

II, 1910. He was graduated at Dickinson
seminary, Williamsport, in 1862, and few
months later enlisted in defense of his

ties of the Army of the Potomac, serving
the full term of his enlistment, and was
honorably discharged, bearing the rank of

Union Law school, at Cleveland, Ohio, and
upon his graduation removed to Iowa, in
1865, where he made Ottumwa his resi-
dence His experience as legislator had
its beginning in the 18th General Assembly,
to which he was elected in the most tri-
umphant manner Twice after that he
served his county and his state in the
higher capacity of senator. He was one of
the most prominent men of the 10th, Goth,
21st and 22d General Assemblies Upon
the election of Mr.. Larrabee to the Govern

unanimous choice of his fellow senate rs for
the craftsmanship of the Committee on Ways
and Means, the most important committee
of the state legislature. The policy which
finds Iowa out of debt, in spite of large ex-
penditures of funds for needed state insti-
tutions, has been vigorously supported by

Writing to friend recently General
Francis E. Spinner said: 81 shall probably
soon make my bow to the denizens of this
world and depart" Few public servants
have been as beloved of the people as the
man whose odd signature characterized
treasury notes for fourteen long years; and
not q reader but will be saddened by the
news that the dear old man is suffering
from a cancer on his face, at Pablo Beach,

A Ruffian Silenced by a Woman.
Hartford Courant.1

An incident occurred on an afternoon
train on the Consolidated road the other
day that ought to have found its way into
print ere this. 1t has numerous lessons.
Among the passengers were three sweet
and quiet Sisters of Charity in their char
acteristic dress. A drunken man, very
drunk and annoying entered the car and
sat down beside one of them. He talked
persistently, drank from big bottle that
he carried, and finally stuck his disagree
able face repeatedly into the long bonnet
of the sister in most insulting way. She
was evidently much frightened. The con-
ductor had already been told of the mans
conduct, but did nothing. The other pas
seDgeIs, in true passenger fashion, sat and
looked on. No man stirred.
Finally a woman, white as sheet and
full of suppressed indignation, got up from
her seat and went to the rescue. She
grabbed the fellows bottle, wrested it from
his hands, and flung it out of the window,
and she took hold of him and after lively
and unassisted struggle got him out of the
seat. I'm no Roman Catholic" she said
excitedly to the spectators, "but can't sit
still and see Sister of Charity insulted." !"
