The group of Eve in the center of the east

the corner proje"tion are those of the Persian,
Circassian and Brahmin. The Persian face is
perhaps, the handsOnest of the whole series
The Circassian's is the most interesting of
the faces surrounding the building. 1t repre-
sents exactly our conception of the appearance
of this now almost extinct race. Next is the
fine strong face of the Brahmin The features
are regular, the face oval, the eyes and hair
black and the skin dark, though not black
He wears the deliberately -arranged turban of

Immediately round the corner, on the south
side, which the sun lights up so gloriously these
mornings, revealing every lineament Of the
faces on this wall, are the heads of the Hun
gsrisn, the Semitic and the Arab.
In the center of this group is the Semitic or
Shemite the descendant of Shem, the child of
Israel. This face reveals, with its dark, pierre
ing eyes cleaning from beneath the oyerhang-
ing eyebrows, the intensity of character justly
attributed to the Jewish race.
The prominence of the profile the fearless
proud eyes aud the familiar banded headdress
proclaim at glance The Arab in the third face
OF this group The Arab complexion is brown
always dark, owing. no doubt to the warmth
OF the climate of his home, for though Arabia
Is surrounded on three sides by the sea, it's
chain of hills excludes, in a great measure, the
the ocean. 1t is said that few nations have ap-
preached so near to the condition of standing
still in a moral and social as well as industrial
point of view as has the Arab.
At the far corner on the south side of the
building, we find the heads OF the Turk, Egypt
ian, and the Abyssinian. The Turkish face,
surrounded by the familiar fez reveals the cum
ming, arsriciOus and cruel character attributed
90 this much Inundated family of mankind.
The Egyptians is a deceitful though intel
lectuaf face. II seems as if he were burdened
with the thought of the lost greatness of his
country. The face has the thinness, high
check bones, and thick lips which are sup
posed to be the distinguishing features of the
ancient Egyptians. He wears the heavy,
black turban peculiar to the Copts. His neigh

How Matters in Hawaii Impress a Private
Citizen.
The following is extract from private
letter received from Honolulu. 1t is dated
JAN %, 1894:
We are indeed having exciting times here
a somewhat suppressed excitement, to be sure
but perhaps all the more deeply felt because

rumors / had heard, that were she once in

think OF such men as President Dole, Minister
Damon and Prof. Alexander having their
heads taken off, it horrifes me. Prof. Alex
anier, Surveyor General, now in Washington,
is a warm friend of mine He is very learned
man PHI physically the personitication of timidity
and humility but not so with his pen. He
has clear, keen intellect, and every word of
testimony he gives at Washington may be
relied on. Mr.. Hastings of the Diplomatic
Corps, l also know very we'll. We were board

advent of the missionaries, 70-Odd years ago,
and there has always been the strongest oppo-
sition to the GOOD" on the "Mammon" side !;
at first in the persons of the beach-cOmbers
and whaling vessel crews. AS the city grew
in wealth ard population, better class of the
Mammonites came here, mentally the equals
of the missionaries, but leading an entirely
different life. The missionaries kept on found
ing schools for the natives, worked amongst
them, ETC., and their descendants have done
the same.
When the Queen came to the throne she
selected for her advisers men opposed to the
missionary element, still so-called. In fact,
had she instead chose such men as Minister
Dole, Prof. Alexander, Minister Damon, etc,
she would have been on the throne to-day.
She chose the MammOnites, signed the lottery
aud opium bills, and finally the crisis was
reached. That is the gist of the whole thing.

FACES ON TBE WALL,
All the Races of Men Depicted on the
New Library Building.

NE ESPECIALLY INTEREST
i: j: ]. H.:
.&EpSM ing feature of the architectural
SIEE4SM decoration on the new Congress
GASNSyg sional Library Building is the
@AE3i series of heads that ornament
&SyNI the windows of the first or
- library floor. These heads,
which are two feet in hight, are carved In the
white New HAMPSHIRE granite, the stone used
In the construction of the building. They form
the keystone ornaments of the coplngs OF the
arched windows.
The idea of making these ornaments an
chronological study was especially appropriate
in more WAYS than one, says writer in the
Fpenino star. National library naturally
embraces some account of every nation on the
earth. and this the main reason for their be-
ing would be sufficient; but there are supposed
to be from 80 to So distinct races of man on the
globe. There were 80 windows OF the nature
TO REQUIRE some special and distinct form oil
ornament, hence the happy conjunction OF pur-
poses. A..
The artist who made the models for the
heads. and under whose supervision they have
been carried out in granite, was Mr.. William
BOYD native of Scotland and graduate OF
the School of Fine Arts at Edlnburg.
The arrangement of the heads round the
building has been made in accordance with the
supposed degree of civilization of the various
races, as will be seen as we take the heads round
the building.
On the front. which is the west side above
the windows on either side of the doorway are
the heads of the Saxon and the Latin races
these representing the highest types OF man.
On the left is the Saxon. This is the long
headed European, the Saxon of northern
Britain, of Scandinavian origin. On the right
is the Latin. the general name given to the
peoples speaking the languages derived from
the Latin. The pure Latin race is the Italian
people, of course but the Spanards are largely
,,l, RI
of the Swiss and other nations OF Europe,
whose countries were conquered by the Romans
and occupied by its armies and colonlsts, are all
partly Latin also, through the commingling OF
the natives with their conquerOrs.
Above the window on the south side OF the
central front pavilion the classic head of the
Greek is easily recognized. He has the aqui-
line nose and oval face of his race.

In the House, several attempts were made by
Mr.. Bland to close debate on the seigniorage
bill, two hours and half being spent in roll
calls.
Mr. Tracey asked unanimous consent that
the House take recess until o'clock, which,
under the rules would be taken at o'clock
This was agreed to, and at 4:15 o'clock the
House took recess until p. H., the evening
pension bills only.
When the House met TO- night there were Al
members in their seats. and Representative
BroOkshire, of Indiana, occupied the Speakers
chair. Representative Martin, of Indiana,
Chairman of the Committee on Invalid PEN
siOns, moved that the House resolve itself into
Committee of the Whole to consider pension
bills. Representative KilgOre. of Texas sug-
gested that no quorum was present, and that
therefore 10 business could be transacted
Mr.. Martin called for the yeas and nays on
his motion, and they were ordered. The vote
resulted yeas Al, nays A.
Mr.. Martin said that the vote disclosed an
attendance 131 short of quorum, and that it
was manifestly impossible to secure the pres
ence of that number tonight. With hone
that by calling attention to the fact disclosed by
the roll call sufficient number would be in
attendance then. SO that the point of no quorum
would not he raised. he moved to adjourn, and
it was SO ordered at $50.

In the House, the debate on the Bland
seigniorage bill was resumed.
Mr.. Bland sought to make an arrangement
to close general debate at l o'clock tomorrow,
but his suggestion met with a chorus of OBJ
jections from the Republican side. There
upon Mr.. Kigore was recognized, to complete
his speech, begun last Friday, in favor of the
bill.
Mr.. Bell spoke in favor of the bill, as did
Mr.. Bankhead, while Mr.. johnson opposed 1T.
Mr.. Culberson favored the bill. He said
that there were now $1S1, 10000 of silver
bullion in the Treasury. which it is proposed
to coin and put into circulation as rapidly as
possible. The $55,O0O.000 proposed by the
pending bill would be material increase of
our circulating Medium. 1t would take the
place of the Sherman silver-purchasng law.
The passage of this bill would avert the issu-
ance of $50 0O0 000 in bonds.
Mr.. Warner opposed the bill. He did not
believe that at this time it was safe. wise, or
patriotic to enact any legislation which will
still further embarrass the Treasury, which
the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Culberson) had
already admitted to be on the verge of in
sovency He did not believe that any unneces-
sary risk should be taken at this time. He
thought the Government should leave the
issue of fiat money and confne itself to its
governmental function of coming gold and
silver, and let the system of credit circula-
