The steady downpour of rain on inaugura-
ton day, which risked the health of thou
sands and spoiled the ornamental and spec
tacular portion of the inaugural programme,
made strong argument after the fact in ia
vor of the defeated amendment to postpone
Inauguration day to April 30. With the les
son of Monday last fresh in their recollec-
ton. perhaps the next Congress may be per-
suaded to give us an Inauguration day in
Midsprng, instead of the presen. day, which
comes just in the breaking up of Winter,

II seems that the net cost Of an average
Of 2704 prisoners In the 81 county prisons
Of Massachusetts, in the year ending Octo-
Der /, 1883, was s35s. 3l9. or about $3.50 a
week for each prisoner. This was an in
crease Of nearly $4,000 since 1857, and
showed total net cost Of all the prisons
In the State amounting to almost exactly
$50, 900. Vow In 1855 the net cost Of all
these prisons was only s2ls, 500; so that
In q years, while the State population
has not doubled Increasing from !, 267 900
to about 100000 the cost Of prisoners
has more than trebled.
The average number Of prisoners In 1865
was 1880; 10 1855 ii was sos, 80 that the
the prison population has also more than
trebIed in % years. The gain has been
greatest In the higher prisons, which in
1865 contained an average Of only $50
(i570 in the minor PRISONS while in 1855
the higher prisons contained an average
Of 1876 against 1892 in the minor prisons.

IL IL especially to the discredit Of the
present English Government that all the
official machinery at command was used
TO prevent the yindcation Of Mr.. Parnell
from the zlanderous assaults of the Lon
don Times. When the pressure for a
Commission could no longer be resisted
the Government lent the Times the asss-
lance Of its police force in working up its
Gaze, and then capped the climax by per-
hitting it, chief legal adviser, Attorney
General Webster, TO conduct the case a.
counsel for the Times, thus formally
identifying itself with the defence. Tn
der these circumstances II Il inevitable
that the conspiracy against Parnell should
have foremost place or importance in
the great Parliamentary struggle now be-
gun. With how much yigor this struggle
is to be- waged on the Liberal side may be
guessed from the magnificent onslaught
made by Mr.. Gladstone upon the Govern
ment. The veteran Liberal leader has
lost none Of his powers, and unless upon
the occasion when he made his great
speech Introducing his Home Rule meas
ure, lee has never appeared TO better adj
vantage than In his speech last week in
the House of Commons.

FURNITURE AT THE CAPITOL
Acres Of IL I'm the Big Building-Some of
It Antique and Valuable.

1t takes q lot of furniture to fit out the capt.
toll. 1t is a pretty big building to furnish with
tables and chairs, carpets and rugs, desks, book
cases. wash stands and what not, without tax
ing into account the articles of ornamentation.
There are no hundred attics in the country that
could furnish, in a combined effort as much
rubbish as is slowed away in that building,
some lying away in dark holes and some serv-
ing still as furniture. There are, of course,
some articles of furniture that are made valu-
able by age and historic association. There
are the desks at which our great men of the
early days wrote and the chairs they occupied,
| and there are rare old pieces of mahogany that
are valuable, independent Of their associations,
but what an auction sale it would make to sell
out all the ramshackle oldfurniture thcreabout.
1t is proposed to recommend to Congress this
session to have such sale and to make an ap-
preparation to refurnish all the House side.
where the furniture is in the worst state of
diapidation. There has been very little new
! furniture bought for that wing of the capitol
since it was first furnished in 1862. At that
time an appropriation of $50. 900 was first made
for the object, and that being found not enough,
$50, 600 more was given. In all it cost S13O, 900
to furnish that wing alone.
PROPOSED APPROPRIATION OF QUARTER OF A
MILLION.
During recent years it has been the habit of
Congress to appropriate $4,000 year to keep
this furniture in repair and to buy such articles
as were absolutely necessary. With that sum
it has been found to be impossible to give all
the furniture that has been needed and keep
the old stuff mended up. 1t is proposed now
to ask for an appropriation of about S250,000
to completely refurnish that wing and finish
the frescoing that was started and dropped a
number of years ago. The only place on the
House side now where sthere is any pretense of
elegance is in the Speakers lobby, and there
furnlture'S hpanty los in ts annpar-
ance Of age. On the Senate side there are sew
eral rooms that are quite richly furnished, but
there they have less space to fill and the wear
and tear is not as great. The ladies' waiting
room. where visitors sit while their cards are
on the way to the Senator'S is handsomely fur
nished and the Vice Presidents room, the
marble reception room and the room which is
occupied by the President at such time as he
happens to visit the capitol are quite elaborate
in their furniture and adornment

A WOMAN BADLY BURNED.
while Filling a Gasoline Stove Tank
Her Clothing Ignites.

young woman named Johannah Neville,
who is employed as a cook at Walsh's hotel,
corner of 18th and E streets northwest met
with a frightful accident about $50 o'clock
this morning while working about gasoline
stove. The stove was resting on a brick founda-
ton beside the large range and Johannah
stepped upon the brick work to fill the tank
with gasoline. II is thought that she filed the
stove while it was still lighted. At any rate she
was standing on this brick foundation, which is
about or feet from the floor, when by some
means her clothing caught fire and in an in
slant she was
ENvELoPED IN FLAMES.
Fortunately, however, she did not fall upon
the red hot range. on which were several pots
of boiling grease and water. She jumped to
the floor andrushed toward the front door, Her
heartrending screams aroused every one in the
house and }. j. O'Leary the bar tender, was
the first to reach the woman. who was fast being
roasted to death. He met her in the hallway
near the front door. Her dress was then blaz-
ing and he grabbed her and attempted to ex-
tinguish the flames with his hands. Just at
that time one of kingsley's milk wagons was
standing in front of the door. The driver was
on his way to Walsh's door with a can of milk,
and when he saw the woman he threw the con-
tents of the can on her, which, it is thought
was the means of
SAVING HER LIFE.
She was taken upstairs unconscious and DIR.
Gill of the Emergency hospital was sent for.
The doctor responded promptly and dressed
her injuries. He found that she was badly
burned about the arms and shoulders and her
face was also scorched. The doctor thinks she
Is not dangerously burned. MIR. OLeGry in
attempting to save the woman was badly
burned about the hands and arms and his face
was also scorched.
