hotel. The main range is six feet
wide and twelve feet long, and curl
GUS thing about it to me is the holes in
the top and the stove lids. These last
are made of rings of metal, one inside of
the other, so that you can make the
opening over the stove as big around as
q saucer or as large as dishpan. Over
the stove there Is a great iron awning,
above which is ventilator, so that the
smell of the cooking is drawn off into
the open air, and in this vast kitchen.
where there are dozens of turkeys and
all sorts of vegetables over the fire, there
Is not as much smell as you will find in
the rooms of young married couple
who are doing light housekeeping.
Right under the range there are hot
caVerns for roasting, and one range is
devoted entirely to the roasting Of tur-
key and game. The bakery of the es-
Enlistment is a great iron safe, as
large as the vault of an ordinary bank.
This is presided over by baker, and
every roll and loaf eaten in the senate
restaurant is baked in this safe. In the
center of the room there are tables of
zinc kept hot by steam, and upon these
lie great dishes OF roasts and steWs

A oHANoEL WINDOW.
Its Equal Not to Be Found on

Boston Herald.
In little country town was erected q
small church, with space for chancel
window, temporarily filled with plain
glass. The rector of wealthy city
church came to this town to spend his
summer holidays, and naturally visited
the little church. The rector OF the latter

year rolled by and another rector of
fashionable church, and one of very
artistic taste, visited the same town.
The village rector called upon his city
brother and took him to see the center
or interest, the chancel window. The
visitor, of course, scanned it very
closely, and, after praising it good
deal. but in guarded way, said: II
don't see that it would be any harm to
Worship that window"
"Oh," said the country brother, "that

the other. Il meant to say that it would

duck and he washes his lunches down
with pot of hot coffee. He drinks a
great deal of hot milk, and takes a bowl
OF milk as a nightcap before going to
sleep. The New York senators come
to lunch together, and they are both
good feeders, though Hill merely nibbles
at the dishes he orders, while Murphy
eats all of the best and lots of it. Mitch

oyster stew and a glass of sherry.
Platt, of Connecticut is fond of bowl

was flied with turkeys and game. The
halves of beeves and sheep hung upon
the walls, and the room was so large
that | went inside of it and found it
lighted with electricity and as cold as
an ice house. In another room / was
shown where the supplies of the estab-
lishment are kept. This was about
fifteen feet square and it was walled
with shelves upon which was stock
large enough for a good-siZed grocery
store. There were wines, canned goods
and eatableS of all sorts. Bags of pota-
toes lay upon the floor. Barrels of
apples stood here and there. There
were crackers by the box, oranges by
the crate and bottles by the dozens. In
case OF siege congress could be fed for
month on tie supplies of this store
house. and everything that a man can
possibly order is here. In one of the
rooms there is a butchers block, upon
which the meat is cut up. and another
vault IS devoted to oyster shocking and
fresh oysters, and here the terrapins
are kept. One great copper box in the
kitchen is devoted to the steaming
of oysters, and there are special
dishes for the getting up of terrapin
stews. The dishes used would stock
big QueenSware store, and it keeps
one or two men continually washing at
the dishes. The plates which are used
for sending up food are kept warm in
patent dish warmer, which is heated by
steam, and the ceilings of these rooms
are filled with great hooks like those of
smoke house, on which the brightest
OF copper and tin pans and kettles are
hung. A dumb waiter runs from the
kitchen to the restaurant of the senate,

to the statesmen are the ice water and

are worth looking at. Their walls
and ceilings are frescoed. They sit
around the finest of damask cloth on
chairs of oak, cushioned with green
leather. Their dishes are china and
their forks are of silver. The most of
them prefer steel knives, and silver is
only used for the cutting of fruit. The
common dining room is apart from that
used by the senators, and there is a pie
and oyster counter presided over by
walters. AT these the statesmen now

by no means satisfied with the dark
rooms and old-faShioned cooking u;en-
sis with which the basement Of that

restaurant of the senate. The Senate
of the United States recently put in
new kitchens, and there is no club
house in the world that has better cul-
mary apparatus. Our greatest states
men are more particular as TO their bills
Of fare than they are as to the bills
before congress. They want all
the latest friils in the fashion
of their dishes, and they use
everything that modern invention can
supply to help them in their cooking. [
have spent some time this week in
sampling the good things of the res
tauIantS, and have made study of the
senate kitchen. The latter cannot but
be interesting to the women of the
United States. They are away down

winding stairways into the Sub-base-
ment of the capitol. You take a Sab

white-capped men everywhere, and
there are cooks and dishwashers, oyster
shuckerS and bakers, making up a corps
large enough to run a big simmer
hotel. The main room of the
kitchen proper is 10 feet wide
by 100 feet long. 1t contains two ranges,
each big enough to roast an OK, and
it has patent steamers and baking ma
chimes mere and there about it. In one
corner is the biggest soup pot in Wash
ington. 1t will hold about two bushels
OF liquid, and it Is the size of the largest
apple butter kettle. 1t is made of the
brightest of red copper, and it is used
for keeping the stock for the making of
the soup. Nickel-plated steam pipes
run through if, and the liquid is always
hot. A little further over there is
a copper pot of about half this
size, heated in the same way, in
which the cranberry sauce and apple
sauce which is eaten by these
Senators is cooked, and near this is
patent turkey rooster. 1t would make
your mouth water to know just how
good the turkeys cooked by this process
are. They are roasted by steam. and
the rooster is double iron box about as
big as the average dry goods box, within
the walls of which steam is conducted
by nckei-pIated pipes. thorough
roasting the mallard ducks and the
twenty pound turkeys which are laid
away within it.
Another feature of this kitchen is the
grill. 1t is gridiron so large that you
could lay the largest sheep upon it and
broil it. 1t rests over a bed of red-hot
charcoal, and the fire is such that the
steak or chop can be we'll done in five
minutes. This grill is kept going about
six hours day, and the juicy meat
which comes from it has made most of
the gray matter which YOU will find in
the alleged brains of the Congressional
Record. The chief cook presides
over the ranges. He gets 500 a month

have always looked upon Southern
men as big eaters, but senators from the
South eat the least. George, of Missls-

Senator Squire, of Washington. is a
good liver. lie wants everything that
is nice, and he wants it served hot. He
is fond of country sausage and corn
cakes, and he would eat these three
times day if they were set before him.
He ends up his lunches with small
cup of coffee and pony of brandy. He
is a rich man and always has friends
with him. He is very particular to have
his account just right to the cent, and
he would, doubt not, fight with the
waiter for the OvercQarge of a penny.
and after he had gotten the mat
ter settled his way would like as
not give the negro fee of a
dollar. He is a queer man as regards
money matters, and he believes in run
ming everything, from his politics to his
pancakes, on business basis. Another
rich man is Senator Stock bridge, of
Michigan. He wants the best he can
get. but he never drinks anything but
water or milk. Turpie, of Indiana,
lunches on oysters and wants fruit
every day. Vance, Of North Carolina,
is satisfied with sandwich. and Dan
Voorhees, eats enough country sausage
and cakes to give any other statesman
the govt. Wilson, of Iowa, the great
prohibitlonist, usually dimes oft a glass
of milk and piece Of apple pie. and
Roger @. Mills can fill up his bread
basket with chicken salad and feel like
king.
One of the biggest feeders we have
had in the senate for years was Senator
Stanford. He ate the richest of food
and he would take dishes like calf's
liver and bacon and chatting dish stews
day after day for week in succession.
He generally drank brandy and soda
or ginger ale with his meals, and he
kept his system pretty well loaded with
fats. He gave lunches sometimes to his
brother senators, and seldom ate by
himself. Don Cameron often gives his
friends dinners at the capitol, and one
of the great lunchers of the past
was George 81. Pendleton. He used
to feed statesmen by the dozens, and
he had stand-up lunches in his
committee rooms while he was in the
senate. The biggest lunch Of recent
times was given by Senator Mcpherson.
This was about three years ago, and
seventy-tive gentlemen and ladies sat
down at the table. Senator German
gave lunch to Nat Goodwin in the
capitol this winter, and the menu was
something like this: First there were
blue points OH the half-shell; then quail,
stewed terrapin and chicken salad in
the order given. Champagne was
brought i ! with the terrapin, and the
desert was Charlotte russo and coffee.
An ordinary citizen would call this
course dinner, but with German it was
only lunch.

rs THE WHOLE BILL REPEALED

Corporation Counsel Clark has not yet given his
official opinion as TO the effect OF the Robertson
bill repeating the City Hall Act OF 1882. but he Will
submit IL to the Mayor In day or two. The advo-
Gates of the law supposed that 1t simply wiped out
the Tammany act passed by the Democratic LeGis
lature OF two years ago which allowed the new
Municipal Building to be erected in the City Hall
Park and permitted the removal OF he old City Hall
to Bryant Park or other park OF the city
They believed that the Building Commission could
90 on under the law Of 1890 and select another site
for a new City Hall. The Corporation Counsel is in
cllned to think that the law OF 1880 repealed by
the law OF 1892 that all legislation the subject
with the exception OF the section providing for
municipal building commission is blotted II
this View proves TO be correct. nothing be done
about another site or a new building for year TO
can
