From The Washington Post.
Another innovation has made its appearance at
the Capitol 1t is worth while to make a trip TO
the building just before II o'clock every day to
witness 1t.
The room in which the Supreme Court justices
adorn themselves with their flowing silk robes Is
across the hall from the chamber IN which the
court meets. Hitherto a few moments before noon
the door of the attrlng room would open and forth
with would emerge the solemn justices on one
side of the corridor-which by the way Is the
main passageway through the Capito-would stand
a court official and another man would be stationed
the opposite side. Between this guard the JUS
tees would walk and moment later would dis
appear behind the heavy door of the entrance q
the private corridor 10 the bench. But this simple
and modest method has been reiegaed to the past.
IL is different now.
When the justices now ready TO leave their
attiring apartment four court messengers appear

robes While the procession marches the

Park Row was desolate yesterday afternoon
Beggars "panhanders' and beats were absent,
peders were not TO be seen. fruit vendors were
few and far between and the man with the tin
monkey picking a lead 'kokernut" was at home

sidewalk were for the most part laden with
Christmas bundles. and the few newsboys trying
to sell 1-cent papers for 2 cents each were the only
reminders of the ordinary activity Of the street.
Christmas at the Eden Musee was a succession
OF joys. The wax Santa Claus lived up to all his

Bell rang Christmas greeting. and a feature Of
the day was the playing of Innes's descriptive

treated them to "reminiscences Of the queer melo-
dies and strange noises Of the Midway Plaisance.
