rns VICE PRESIDENTS oFEIoE.
One of the Haudsomest Rooms In the Cap
itol Used by Him.

itol Used by Him.
In the wing of the capitol devoted to
the needs of the senate two of the hand
soonest rooms are set aside for the use
of the president and the vice president
of the United States. The presidents
room is naturally put to very little use,
while the vice presidents is rarely I'M
occupied.
This room is to be found at the end
Of the senate lobby. 1t is large, square
room, with succeed ceiling and tinted
walls, furnished with an ecru tinted
carpet, several large chairs, two tables,
an office desk and large sofa.
The fireplace-a huge, old fashioned
affair for tho burning of wood-with its
handsome brass fender and accompany.
ing shovel, tongs and poker, is shut in
by glass fire screen. The retiring vice
president is permitted to take with him
as souvenirs the brass fire tools.
There is another bit of floor furniture
in the room in the shape of small safe,
which is used as a repository for the
electoral votes as the sealed packages
come from the various states after each
presidential election. Here they must
stay until wanted for counting by the
house of representatives During this
time the safe is continually watched by
two officers detailed from the capito
police force, and the combination OF
which the lock is set is known only t.
the vice president.
Among the wall adornments is ;
painting of George Washington b,
Rembrandt Peale There is legend t
the effect that when sitting for this por
trait in 1896 Washington stuffed cottor
into his cheeks in lieu of the false teetl
he so greatly needed.
Most of the relics of former vice presi
dents have been relegated to littl'
anteroom now used for toilet purposes
Among them is the mirror 2 = feet long
by 4 wide bought by the senate fo
the use of John Adams. Both frame anC
glass are of very poor material, but i
cost when purchased $40 and was thu
subject Of serious controversy in tn,
senate. The beautifully carved toile
case, which is also contained in thu
anteroom, was made to. order for Gen
eral Chester A. Arthur. Kate Field

There are few things more disagreeable
than to- put on a pair of stiff, brittle shoes
that have been thrown aside to dry after
a rainy day. Here is formula that claims
to eradicate the trouble: First wipe off
gently with soft cloth all surface water
and mud. Then, while still wet, rub well
with paraffin oil, using flannel for the
purpose. Set them aside till partially dry,
when second treatment with oil is advisa-
BILE. They may then be deposited in con-
venicntly warm place, where they will dry
gradually and thoroughly. Before apply
ing French kid dressing give them final
rubbing with the flannel, still lightly
dampened with paraffin, and the boots
will be soft and flexible as new kid and
be very little affected by their bath in the
rain.-Shoe and Leather Reporter

There are great many homes
having Zinc lined Bath Tubs
that are in good condition with
this one exception, they lack the
features Of a porcelain lining.
How to overcome this without
going to the expense OF getting
a new tub has been a question
that has worried a good many.
One pot of our WHITE
ENAMEL PAINT will do the
work, forming as it does a
GLOSSY SURFACE almost
equal in hardness and durability
to that of Porcelain itself, being
at the same time hardly distin.
guished from Porcelain.
Consult with your Physician
and he will tell you by all means
to paint your Bath Tub with
ENAMEL PAINT.

A BLuGBlRD'S SONG.

To simple souls, ofttimcs in simplest ways
Come sweet surprises that-we scarce know
why
Make glad with sudden brightness drcar,
days
Or set a rainbow in stormy sky.
A smile perhaps from some dear passerby
word, unsought, Of sympathy or praise,
A wayside flower, fowerlike butterfly
The veriest trile has its spell to raise
Some dropping heart to whom God bids
speak
And I-who heard but now all unaware
That bluebirds rapture thrilling Oh the air
know its meaning is not far to seek;
TO me, faint hearted, fearful, once again
The Father sends messagc-not in vain.

COLLECTING THE INCOME TAX.
How 1t Is Being Done in the State of
Maine.

United States Deputy Collector of III
ternal Revenue Johns. Williams of Guilford.
was in the city yesterday as a witness in
the Herbert Blake case in he United States
court. Mr.. Williams says that the collection
of the inc ome tax is heavy burden upon
the deputy collectors of internal revenue in
Maine, of which there are two. He is
located at Bangor. and has charge OF the
eight eastern counties, and Mr.. Kelley of
Auburn is collector for the eight western
coun ties. 1t was supposed that accessory
collectors would be appointed to assist in
the collection of the tax. but week ago
Friday last Mr.. Williams received word
from Collector Calvin Page of Portsmouth.
n. H., that it had been decided that there
should be no assistant deputy collectors ap-
pointed for this district of Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont. although they
have been appointed for other districts. On
receipt of this Mr.. Williams at once went to
work for he had big undertaking before
him. 1t was necessary to commun ate with
every corporation in the eight counties and
to find out every citizen in those counties
whose incomes is over $4,000. All this must
be done in three weeks. He is now seeing
his way clear to the accomplishment of the
task. He is confident that there are at
least 500 citizens in those eight counties
whose incomes exceed $4,000 and thinks that
nearly all of these are in Bangor. When it
was decided that Maine deputy collectors
should have no assistants 1t was probably
thought that the collection of the income
tax would not be very numerous in the
down east State of Maine, but the fact is
that Maine is quite itch enough to make
that collection g good deal of task.

FERRY BOATS COLLIDE.
Because of the Dense Fog-The Mary w.
Libby Badly Damaged.

At little past six O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, there was a collision in the harbor be-
tween the TWO ferry boats. Elizabeth City
end Mary W. Libby. The latter left her
dock at Custom House wharf at six O'Clock.
a very dense fog hung over the haIDei.
Captain Osgood says that when leaving
the dock he blew long. dock whistle and
started on discourse. steeringLsouth by. east
half east. He was making little more than
half speed Ho heard the Elizabeth City
coming and both boats were blowing single
blasts, to indicate that they should leave
each other on the port side. lie was about
half way across, when lie saw the Elizabeth
City bearing down upon him close at hand.
She was apparently about to strike oppo-
site the boiler. tie gave the full speed Sig
nal SO that he might shoot ahead and that
the boiler should not be struck. and the life
of the engineer endangered. The latter.
Mr.. Johnson, showed a great deal Of nerve.
He saw the great double ender coming
straight for him, but he did not leave his
post. Then came the crash. TIL oyerhang
of the double eader struck the side of the
house and crashed in the wall. just astern
of the boiler. 1t went in hard enough to
dent the exhaust pipe. which is nearly in
the middle of the boat. The rudder of tile
big boat struck the bulwark of tho small
boat terrific blow, and had she not been
the strongest boat of her size and build in
the harbor. she would have gone under.
Where the rudder. (Which is of course the
stationary prov of the double enderl struck
there is bulwark or rail six inches thick.
passing across the ends of the Cross-beams,
and between these cross-beams, and of
course next inside the bulwark are blocks
of timber, where the rudder struck
this block was pushed In, despite the
heavy CROSS timhers supporting it, and
there on the copper plate blow is the con-
cave print of the end of the rudder. 1t just
forced in the bottom and copper plate
little. Had the bulwark and timbers been
less massive. the bottom must have been
cut in below the water line, and the steam
| er sunk.
Manager G. ". T. Cooling says it was very
fortunate that the blow was struck where
it was and that it might easily have hurt
the boiler or steam pipes, had it struck in
the right place. in that event the engineer
and perhaps the captain would have lost
their lives. 'Altogether,'' said Mr.. God
ing. 81 think it was very fortunate"
1t is orally considered that the acci-
dent was unavoidable. because of the thick
fog.
After the collision the Elizabeth City
stood by till it was assured that the small
er steamer was in no danger of.founderi1g.
The damage to the Mary ". Libby will be
about $500. and as to just who will have TO
stand the loss is not settled as yet. Both
captains have made sworn statements and
filed them with United States Inspector
of Hulls Pollister.
Several of the passengers of the Elizabeth
City have made the statement that in their
opinion the accident was unavoidable, be-
cause of the dense fog.
The Elizabeth City received but slight
damage and did not lose trip.
