The intellectual member from New England
leans gracefully against the wall with one foot
crossed over the other taking little squares of
candy mincingly out of paper bag he holds in
his left hand and putting them into his mouth
slowly with look of prolonged satisfaction.
Three ladies with short hair, high foreheads
and gowns hanging in severe lines over their
natural forms stand around him in loquacious
attitudes He makes bow of acquiesccnce
with bit of candy half way in his mouth but
their voices are drowned in the confused hum.
When the ladies' reception room was in the
east lobby the women were not permitted to
send in cards by any but the east door. Only
members who did not shun the habitues in
petticoats or those who went ont in response
to a card appeared in that vicinity when they
could avoid it; and yet good many members
did visit the east lobby. Now one or two
women may be seen at every door. They stop
members in the corridors and on the stairs.
A member stands with one foot on the steps,
impatient to get away, but the half pleading
smile of some fair petitioner holds him back
and he yields to the fascination of femininity.

from the Capitol by way of the bath room in

weeping women who are guarding the doors
for the chance TO beg him for place.
A baid-headed statesman of decorous de-
meanor casts sheep eyes at a bonnet in the
gallery, and that industrious young member
there is writing billet-doux. That man in the
corner. with his brows drawn as he bends low
over his desk figuring and writing, is not
struggling with some perplexing problem, on
legislation. He is merely trying to figure his
months expenses down to his months salary.
How eloquently Senator Blank defends prohi-
bition! Yes; that's because he is sober today.
The man who spoke little while ago is down
on the public building grab. Didn't he give it
to them for their raids on the treasury, What!

When the man whose duty it is to clear the
floor of the House before the session begins
asks "All those who are not entitled to the
same to please retire" there is a slow uprising
in all parts of the House. The habitues who
have been there each day for the past ten or
twenty years rise slowly ont of the chairs of the
members. reluctantly surrender their places on
the sofas and crawl out of the cloak rooms and
with their eyes on the clock in the suspicion
that they have been disturbed too soon, walk
with great elaboration toward the doors in
this direction or in that. The strangers in the
galleries, who ten minutes before were study
ing the diagram of the House to learn the
names of all the members. turn then and look
down on mostly empty chars. Twenty menu
bers. perhaps. are in the House. which was fso
full before. Then they know they have been
studying the diagrams in vain.
From the hour the House meets until ad-
journment picturesque groups are assembled
In the corridors and lobbies in both wings Of
the Capitol.
Soon after prayer the rush Of people with
cards for members begin. The five doors of
the House are besieged The passage in front
of the main door is blocked and ffty people
are holding out cards to half a dozen door
keepers, who are crying all the wlile: "Gen-
tlemen, please clear the passage way. You
must keep to one side"
Newspaper men pass into the vestibule Of the
main door and sit in the inches on either side
designed for statues, where each is soon Joined
by member, who sits by his side with one
hand on his knee or an arm thrown across his
shoulder and tells him all the things he knows

STORM AT CHICAGO.
A Good Deal of Damage Done in the
Garden City.

The storm that set in Thursday ragged all day
yesterday with almost undated fury. high
wind and binding snow making pedestrianism
almost impossible. Lake Michigan was in a
fury and the famous north shore drive, upon
which the palatial mansions of Potter
Palmer, Archbishop Feehan and other
prominent residents are located was rap

water works tunnel in process Of construction

Over q half million dollars have so far been
