Than if it was located anywhere else

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 Con-
necticut Avenue. The large, square
oak k-panelled hall ends at reception
room in satin wood, the walls of a
delicate salmon 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 center of each pan
ell. Above the mantel is figure en-
blematic of spring and roses.
Beyond this charming room is a
smaller reception room, hung in birds
egg blue satin damask, with wide
frieze of blue and gold. Next is the
dining room in dark oak. The frieze
is rather neutrality-suspicious. unpleas-
antly so. Peacocks with wide spread
tails, stalking through gardens of
roses, attended by cupids and butter
flies, are perhaps too gorgeous for
the heavy oak. The ball room is not
vet finished. The oak stairway is
the only one of Moorish design in the
city. Each bed room is of a differ
ent 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 fireplace
project oaken settlers.
Already the growing over the sell

bv the refusal of Eestern members to
vote for the irrigation of arid Wes-
tern plains on the ground that their
constituents are not interested in it.
The only way relief for the Western
farmers can be secured so far as irri-
CATION 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 ID. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, were held in the hall
of the House of Representatives, on
Saturday. Long before the hour set
for the commencement of the cere-
monies the galleries were filled with
SPECTATORS. to not few of whom the
event partook of the nature of per-
sonal bereavement. 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 executive gallery, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Halford.
Amid a solemn hush the magnifi-
cent casket was borne slowly down
the aisle the deceased had trod SO
often during over a quarter century,
and was deposited on the sable COW
cred bier in front of the clerks desk.
