woBds New jersey. The soldier thus
commemorated has but one arm and his
friends say that the artist has faithfully
reproduced the celebrated soldier Gem
eral Phil Kearney, who fell at the bat
tie of Chantilly, Va, September s, 1862.
He had made great reputation as an
Indian fighter before the civil war com.
menced, and his loss was severely felt
by the Union armies. One of the most
striking figures in the hall Is marble
statue, heroic size, of James A. Garfield,
contributed by the State of Ohio. At
the base Of the artistic representation
Of the famous soldier, scholar and
statesman is bronze sword lying across
holsters. One of the finest pieces OF
sculpture, however, is contributed by
the State of New York, and represents
Robert Fulton, in sitting posture, with
. model Of > steamboat in his hands.
His features seem to be intensely
wrought with thought concerning his
great invention and his eyes are riveted
upon the model before him.
The marble columns which surround
the room are made Of Potomac marble,
and are contributory to the wonder
land portion Of the ediflce. The guides
Of the Capitol vestudied them and dis
covered outlined upon them, by nature,
the faces Of some OF the distinguished
men Of our country. The wonderful
thing about it is that these faces are
discovered in the natural marble, and
are as unaccountable as the peculiar
echoes. Eli, the watchman in the room.
will show you perfect image Of Len
F. Butler in the column back of th1 Full
ton statue. In another marble column,
near the statue Of Garfield, there is the
SENT lance Of robed priest, joining =
man and woman in matrimony. There
are also in various portions OF the hall
the faces of Blaine, Lincoln, Conkling,
Banks and other celebrities You may
presume or assume that these faces ap-
pear by the aid Of lead pencils or other
artificial appliances, but 1t is not 90.
Just rs the marble was cut in the quar-.
ries, rounded and polished, these faces
stand forth, startlingly strange, and
with their presence wholly unaccount-
able.
When you come to Washington you
must see Statuary Hall. It will b
wise for you to employ Capitol guide,
for you will be unable to see one hum
dredth part of the important things in
the Capitol without their aid; but you
will not need to ask your guide to show
you this wonderful hall. Almost the
first thing shown by the authorized
guides is Statuary Hall. There are many
wonderful things in the Capitol to
strangers, but after you have seen the
Senate and House, the great paintings
in the rotunda, the marble room, tho
Presidents room and other gorgeous
things; after your mind has been filed
with sightseeing and your memory
surcharged with wonderful things to
tell the folks ut home; you will find
that you dwell mainly upon the eighth
wonder Of the world, Statuary Hall,
with its echoes, statues, telephone,
marble pictures, and the block where
the great statesman, Adams, fell, after
answering his name, during call of the
House, Here" on duty to the very last
day and hour Of his patriotic life.

A DOLLAR FOR A LIFE.

A Bereaycd Husband Awarded fettance
for the Death of His Wife. wba Was
Killed by the Cars.
CHICAGO, Feb. "a jury in Judge
Anthony's court yesterday broughs in q
verdict in damage suit against rail-
road company. giving husband ii dam
ages for the killing of his wiiS The
case was that OF John Hogan ...ainst
the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy
railroad for $1,000 damages. On
January %, 1855, his wife was
struck by an engine while crossing
the railroad tracks, receiving injuries
from which she died in two hours.
Judge Anthony told the jury that such
a verdict would not be received, that it
would be set aside at once and q new
trial ordered. Said the Judge: IF the
defendants were guilty Of negli-
gence in the death OF this
woman the plaintiff was en-
titled to damages. II the company was
not guilty, the jury should have said SO.
One dollar for human life is absurd.
Why, it would not pay for the nails in
her coffin" The jurymen were divided
as to whether the company was more to
blame than the victim, and the verdict
was the result Of q compromise.

Little Fellows In tho House and Senate
Who Make Money Collecting and Sell.
inG Ststesmen's Autographs.
The pages Of the Senate and House
at Washington, are again doing thriv-
ing autograph album business. Hum
dreds of albums of all sorts and sizes are
being prepared for the seasons work.
These boys make twenty-five or more
dollars extra every month by getting
the autographs Of statesmen. They
have albums OF different styles every
day, and 60 from man to man asking
their autographs ''for my sisters al
bum," or for lady who is visiting my
mother" or for some other object.
The statesmen hastily scrawl their
names on the pages open before them,
and the boys sell their albums for .
round sum--say ten dollars for an al
bum containing the autographs Of the
members of the House and five dollars
for an album containing those Of the
members Of the Senate. These albums
are we'll worth the money which the
boys demand for them, too. It is inter-
esting to study the characteristics of the
men from their chirography. John g.
Carlisle writes careful hand, like that
Of . school-boy. 1t shows what manner
Of man he is, for his character is delib-
eratiye and careful. Mr.. Holman, Of In
diana, is an awkward, ungraceful man.
in external appearance, but his auto
graph is as neat and pretty as woman
could make it. Senator Allison, Of
Iowa, always uses violet ink, and signs
his name as plainly and painstakingly
as though each letter were worth several
times its weight in gold, and not .
quirlicue must be lost.
Senator Edmunds writes E-s, all
the letters between the initial .E'' and
the final IS being condensed into .
quivering scrawl; but the capital e"
and the final .'s'' are 50 perfectly made
that the on-looker can't help feeling
that Senator Edmunds Is personally
careless and intentionally SO in writing
his name. Senator Davis, of Minnesota,
is SO good writer that one wonders how
he ever became the great lawyer that he
is, because great lawyers are proverbi-
ally bad writer's, from Choate down to
Fuller. Congressman Payson, of Illi-
nois, must have been q writing teacher
some time in his life, for he writes his
name in good Spencerian copy-book
style. There is character in every sig
nature, and the albums are worth buy.

ST. Louis, Feb. 81. w. Shietz,
baker doing business at 1908 North
Sixth street, poisoned some of his cake
to kill rats and succeeded in killing two
children, Cora and Annie Brock. The

it up and ate it. They were imms.

Mr.. MERCsER, member of the Cana
dian Parliament was believed to be
joking when awhile ago he offered bill
giving one hundred acres OF land to
every father Of twelve children who re-
sides in the dominion. But he got the
measure passed, and it is now law to
be treated as seriously as any other Of
the Canadian statutes. Fathers that
come under the provisions of the act
are already reporting in considerable
numbers, and, while there is no such
fecundity in Canada, perhaps, as pre-
walls in the tropics, the Government is
likely to give away q good many acres
of its public lands.
