The residence recently completed
for Senator Sawyer is one Of the most
unique of the many unusual houses
built here in the last few years. The
site is very commanding and is on the
most aristocratic circle, on Connecticut
avenue. The large, square oak-pannel-
ed hall ends at a reception room in
satin wood, the walls Of delicate sal
mon pink, with deep frieze Of lavishly
scattered roses, strewn as if blown by
the wind. The ceiling of satin wood
is ornamented with a rose in the centre
of each panel. Above the mantle is
figure emblematic of spring and
roses.
Beyond this charming room is a
smaller reception room, hung in birds
egg blue satin damask, with a wide
frieze of blue and gold. Next is the
dining room in dark oak. The frieze
is rather neutrality-suspicious. unpleasant
ly so. Peacocks with wide spread tails,
stalking through gardens of roses, at
tended by cnpids and butterflies, are
perhaps too gorgeous for the heavy
oak. The ball room is not yet finished.
The oak stairway is the only one Of
Moorish design in the city. Each bed
room is of a different color, delicate
tints prevailing. Senator Sawyer's
study is in highly polished oak, ceiling,
walls and all. The furniture is in
leather, while on either side Of the
great open fire place, project oaken
settlers
Already the growing over the sell
fishness of Congressman has common
ced. This time it is occasioned by the
refusal Of Eastern members, to vote
for the irrigation Of arid Western
plains, ON the ground that their con-
stitutents are not interested in it. The
only way relief can be secured, so far
as irrigation is concerned, seems to be
by the old way Of trading votes. The
Western men must come to this solu-
ton Of their troubles and make the
best bargains possible.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Hon. William d. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, were held in the hall of
the House of Representatives on Satur-
day. Long before the hour set for
the commencement of the ceremonies,
the galleries were filled with spectators,
to not few of whom the event partook
of the nature Of personal bereave-
ment. At the hour of noon, Vice
President Morton, who headed the
Senatorial delegation in attendance,
took his seat by the side of Speaker
Reed. Mrs. Harrison was in the exc
cutive gallery, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Halford.
Amid a solemn hush the magnificent
casket was borne slowly down the aisle
the deceased had trod so often, during
over quarter Of a century, and was
deposited on the sable covered bier in
front of the clerks desk. The widow
and two sons and a daughter and sew
eral grandchildren followed the re-
mains. The Episcopal service for the
dead was read by Rev. Dr. Butler, and
prayer was offered by Rev. DIR. Cuth-
BART After the benediction the body
was again taken up. The committee
Of escort and the family accompanied
the remains to Philadelphia, where
services were held Sunday.
