Has Become . Thing Of Beauty snd WIN

Gen. Boyntoa IN Cincinnati commsscsai osssess
Nothing more strikingiy illastrssss the won
derful growth Of the country than the pressing
demand for public buildings. An Of the great
structures with which the country b familiar
are 20 crowded - 10 hinder TIE public business.
Several buildings are now sorsiy needed The
question Of sites for them ID one which requires
prompt attention. Encroachment on the pre-
emit parks should Be resisted ct every point To
spoil these public grounds 10 vandalism. The
people should mot tolerate any attempt 70 d.
spoil this already splendid city Of beauties
which the years win ripsn into the gloriss of
the future capital.
On the ground Of economy, which Il Tie
lowest ground, Congress should buy while il
can be taken at low figures, the land on the
south side Of Pennsyivania avenue, back 70 the
public grounds, and from the Botanic Gardens
TO the White House lot and reserve IL all for
public buildings. The nrst cost would be more
than returned to the government within ten
years, and even il no return could be looked
for it should be done with view 10 what the
national capital should be.
Washington has become q seff-sustaining city
so far as its dependence for evidences Of life q
concerned upon the presence Of Congress. Only
few years ago it's streets, hotels and all public
places were quiet, deserted and dead from the
day that Congress adjourned until it assembled
again. That portion Of the resident population
which is altogether independent Of Congress
has now become SO great that the city main
tains vigorous outward life without regard 10
the absence of Congress.
The attractiveness of the city in countless re-
spects is becoming widely understood. An un-
ending and increasing stream Of visitors pours
through it and carries the knowledge of it to all
parts OF the land. Its municipal government 10
thoroughly honest. and. all in al, the best form
OF government to be found In any city. There
Is absolutely no stealing. Under recently
adopted methods Of auditing and accounting
to the treasury it IL impossible. II Is quiet
and orderly city. Taxes are low, person and
property are safe, and, in short, there il no
city in the land that has many attractions as
a place Of residence outside Of those unparal-
ieled features which the government adds TO
all the rest.

The North British Railway COMPANY of
England has formed q committee TO receive
public donations for the reward of the men
who have remained loyal to the company and
added to the comfort Of the public BY contin-
uing at work. The companies rejected q pro-
posal by the strikers for . compromise. one
feature Of which was that the men offered 70
leave the question Of recognition Of their union
in allegiance.
Berlin advices state that bombshell In the
imperial cabinet could hardly have eaused

grand duke of Mecklinburgh-Sc had Of

grand ducal ministry. The grand duke il the
head and front of the feudal rulers of Germany.
His discomfort with the kaiser's policy, both In
its anti-Russian features and in it, contempt of
ancient feudal privileges, has long been ap-
parent, and IL the statement Of the usually
weI-informed Frdntshater Zeihssg proves true
it win be taken for granted that he has now
struck the first open blow against the ruler Of
the new German empire.
It is estimated that the damage done
by the FIRE which destroyed portions of

will not amount to more than %, 900 francs. The

The ball room on the Connecticut avenue
side of the house has Moorish interior. In
her last visit to Spain Mrs. White brought back
with her plaster cast of the bas reliefs in the
Alhambra palace and in the frieZe are incrip-
tons from the Koran. Her ball room was dec
grated from this model The walls are laid
with gold. and have a wide frieze. which shows
the glowing gilt. blue and scarlet of the orig
inal design. The woodwork has the creamy
richness of ivory. and between the crossbeams
of the ceiling the small square panels are in
crusted with raised work in the Moorish colors.
Opal globes in silver and filigree hang by chains
from above while the oriental character of the
room is completed by the mirrors set in the
walls, the Moorish draperies and haugings and
the low divans, which constitute almost the sole
furniture

Entwistle walked into and around the cage

toasted each other and remained in the cage

they proposed to take hand in the game. On

Tho Fight in the Minnesota Legislature
Ended--In Illinois.

Ended--In Illinois.
The Minnesota house Of representatives has
completed its organization by the election Of
the fusion (alliance-democratic) ticket, and the
senate spent the morning session in debating
the report of the committee on committees, the
republicans contending for what they deemed
fair minority representation.
1t seems now that the promised attempts by
each party to unseat members Of the other in
order to secure majority on joint ballot in the
Illinois legislature will probably be held in
allegiance, since, if once entered on, there is no
knowing where it would stop. Tho threat of
the democratic house to unseat Mr.. Grain has
led to counter threat by the republican sem
ate to unseat Noonan and others. and they are
urging their brethren in the house not to get
them into trouble by any rash measures.
In the Illinois senate yesterday bill was in

cation law and the substitution Of an enact

A House That Was Built for Solid

SENAToR sAwYER'S palatial home on Con-
~ necticut avenue, at the intersection of Goth
and streets, is generally regarded as one of the
finest examples Of modern elegance in this city.
Last winter, when the Senator first took pos
session, the interior decoration was by no
means finished and its present effect could only
be guessed at approximately. The house, from
its favorable position facing the south, east

Heart's-ease,


Heart's-ease.
Where should we seek for hearts-eases We whit
fain
That precious thing would gain:
Bearer than love, since love may change or de;
Bearer than fame, that like a flash goes by;
The richest gift that, since the world began,
God gave to man.
Not in the fret and fever of the strife
OF busy, onward life;
Not In the passionate conflicts of the heart:
Not in the lovely cultured world of art;
Not in the clustered students living tomb
VIII hearts'-ease bloom.
But In the sober twilight's quiet time,
When to the evening chime,
The tired pilgrim walks with patient feet,
willing the tasks he yet can do to meet,
Content with all heaven portions - his share
Seek heart's-ease there.

The lights on the side walls burn behind lotos
flowers, which are held in fixtures that once
did service as candlesticks in Persia The
hangings at the doorways are in richly en-
broidered silks after the Moorish style. At the
head of the broad staircase is a square landing
fitted up with book cases. with divans and other
luxurious resting places to court enjoyment of
books. A doorway leads to a broad stone
portico, and this was during last summer
favorite spot with Senator Sawyer for his after
dinner smoke.
The SPACIOUS LIBRARY.
The Senator's library is spacious apartment
just over the ball room. Its walls are frescoed
in soft browns, and all the drapery and hang
ings run through the shades with an added
touch OF gilt. The writing table, wide enough
and long enough for ten people to sit around
1t, Is probably the best equipped working table
that any Senator owns.
All the furniture and woodwork is of polished
oak and the walls are tinted in wood tones. A
portrait of Gen. Grant, draped with the flag
hangs over the mantel. and book shelves are
set into alcoves along the walls. The many
arm chairs and couches are not upholstered
bnt by an odd and effective method are fitted
with cushions in a lusterless gray plush. which
are tied 10 the backs and sides BY heavy silk
cords of the same shade.
Senator SAWYER has a coy little apartment
just OFF the library, while Mrs. Whites bed
room is opposite aud on the other side of the
hall
Mrs. Whites own suite of rooms are decorated
in pansies, the woodwork being of oak The
ceiling is clouded in dull guilt, while the walls
are in corresponding tone of ochre. Her Sleep
ing room has dado Of fancy velvet about
three feet high, and beading this as well as in
the frieze, pansies are massed in beautiful pro-
fusion. The hangings in the window are of
pansy plush and some of the chairs are covered
with the same material The effect is rich and
harmonious.
