WASHINGTON IN 1900.
What tn" Capital city Was Like in the
Early Days.


What tn. Capital city Was Like in the
Early Days.
If Philadelphia was sad, what can be
said of Washington in these early daysP
When the government moved there in
1900 the journey was made over roads
that did not deserve the name of high
ways, that were mere wagon tracks
blazed through the woods. The wagons
were rough and springless maSeshifts.
The company was promiscuous and
democratic. The inns were generally
neat, but the food was chiefly of salted
pork. There were everywhere made
quate accommodation. Europeans COM
planned that they were compelled to
sleep in rooms which contained from
two to a dozen BEDS and sometimes to
occupy n bed with a stranger The
journey from Baltimore to Washington
that is now made in an hour required
long day II century ago, while the best
part of three days was consumed by the
journey from Philadelphia to the new
capital. As Mrs. John Adams recalled
it, the way was somber, the woods
were thick, the swamps were noisome,
the evidences of life were few. Now
and then u hut was seen in small
clearing and there were inns at the
end of the stages between Philadelphia
and Georgetown.
Washington itself was the most un-
comfortable capital in the world.
Nothing was finished. The president
moved into an uncompleted white
house, and congress into an uncom-
pleted capitol. Pennsylvania avenue
was described by John Cotton Smith as
deep morass covered with alder
bushes" The trees had been cut from
! it, sidewalks had been made with chips
from the stone of the capitol, the black
| Tiber creek which crossed it had been
spanned by timber bridge. Here and
there We're groups of wooden buildings
for the accommodation of congress
men. Six brick dwelling houses that
are still standing on Pennsylvania
avenue, between Twenty-irst and
Twenty-second streets, had been built
with money derived from the sale ot
lottery tickets. There was one good
tavern about forty rods from the pres
ident's house, but there was enormous
difficulty in securing lodgings. The
members of congress, the cabinet Off
GERS, and all but few persons who
were compelled to keep house lodged
in the tavern and boarding houses
What discomforts they endured is best
illustrated by an entry in the diary O
a member of congress Speaker Sedg
wick" he wrote, was allowed a room
to himself: the rest of us in pairs.
The northern members who had never
favored the removal of the capitol t.
the banks of the Potomac began t.
talk about eXpatriation, and to grum
BILE at the loss of luxuries they had en-
joved in New York, and especially il
Philadelphia. Attempts to repair the
mistake and to move back to Phila
delphia were at once begun. Thes,
failing, an effort was made in 1904 t,
remove the capital to Baltimore. TIL,
two wings of the capitol were not com
pleted until 1911, and so slow had beel
the progress of Washington that afte
the public buildings had been burne,
by the British in 1914 there was
strong party in congress opposed to al
appropriation for their repair.-Har

PETE MAILER.

States army since September 10, 1864,
and was placed on the retired list at
Franklin arsenal, Pennsylvania, the
years service. Two days afterward he
took up his abode in Chicago. Mr..
Mailer, moreover, was born in Three
Rivers, Canada, and has never been
naturalized, but has voted at every
presidential election since he became
of age by right of being United States
soldier. He is four feet eleven inches
in height and wears No. boot. The
minimum of height, according to the
laws of the army, is five feet four
inches.
Mr.. Mailer, as his papers show, has
enlisted eight times-once for the last
years service of the war, twice for
three years service and five times for
five years service. He enlisted in 1864
at Schenectady, N. Y, at the age of
sixteen, and was sent to Center Point
to join the Forty-seventh regiment,
Company G, under Butler. During
those troublous times his nationality
and small height were not questioned.
He carried muskct up to the time of
the assault on Fort Fisher, n. c., when
the drummer was shot. He was then
given the drum, which he carried till
discharged, June 90, at Raleigh. After
the war he was not allowed to join the
ranks as private, and he therefore be-
came bugler. In this capacity he
served in every branch of the service,
infantry, artillery and cavalry.
On January 5, 1887, he was made an
exception of and allowed to become a
second-class private, notwithstanding
his small stature. His thirty years
service would have been up in 1894 had
he not received his discharge March Is,
1901, to go to the regular army home at
Washington. According to the twenty
years service act he might have stayed
there the remainder of his life, as he
had been in the army twenty-six years
and eleven and two-thirds months, but
would draw no pension on account OF
not being disabled. After staying,
there nine months he longed for active
service and then became u first-class
private of ordnance with rank of SER
geant at Fortress Monroe arsenal
Shortly before he left he was recon
mended for corporal. The six stripes
on his sleeve represent his thirty years
in the regular army, not including his
first service.
At the time of the Custer massacre
Mailer was at Key West and at his
fifth enlistment he joined the Custer
Revengers," c troop, Seventh cavalry,
and saw service in the Black Hills.
Scrgt. Mailer speaks highly of tho
army and says he might be tempted to
go back had he not been officially re
tired. He attributes his physical per
fection to the strict discipline of army
life and is so young and volatile il,
manner that were it not for his paperil
and the record of his retirement in ths
Army and Navy journal it would be
hard to believe that he is retired
regular soldier.
Sergt. Naiicr has never had home
in this country, but when he left the
service he designated Chicago as his
place of residence and, drawing tran
sportation and two days rations, h.,
came on. His pension will be twenty
three dollars and fifty cents per month
He intends to start life as q private
citizen in the capacity Of W. -. man.

THE SMALLEST SOLDIER.

He Enlisted Under Butler at the Age of
Sixteen.
Chicago has the smallest soldier who
ever carried musket as a first-class
private in the regular army since the
war. His name is Peter Mailer. He is
five inches under the smallest allow
able height, but that is explained by
his record.
Mailer is forty-seven years old and
has served continuously in the United

A correspondent Of the New York Her

which we are now suffering from. The
silver question, tho financial question, the
greenland theory. fiat money. and all
such methods and theories are the out

them touches the malady or can cure it.
We were prosperous beyond the dreams
Of Utopian. and straig htway we went to
experimenting with our Industries In the
most laundering manner. We open the
doors TO the products of the cheap labor
