HE BUILT THE DOME,
Death of George H. Miller, Assistant
Architect of the Capitol.

Death of George H. Miller, Assistant
Architect of the Capitol.
By the death at l o'clock this morning Of
Mr.. George H. Miller a most familiar face
Is removed from the Capitol. Mr.. Miller
entered the office of the architect Of the
Capitol in 1859, and has continued there in
active and creditable service ever since.
He was a native of Baltimore and in 1S49
sailed from that city around the Horn to
San Francisco. By virtue Of that pioneer
experience he was a most enthusiastic
member Of the local organization of For
ty-niners," and took part in all their social
gatherings. AS first assistant to the archl-
tect Of the Capitol, first to General Meigs
and then to Mr.. Edward Clark, Mr.. Miller
had charge of much important and respon-
sible work. He built the great white dome
that surmounts and completes the vast
building, and in doing SO took a deep per-
Sonal interest and continuous risk in the
work. He superintendent placing the colos-
sal bronze figure of Liberty on the DOME
and was the last man down, retreating step
by STEP as each board of the scaffolding
was removed and lowered. Another work
of distinct Importance intellectually to
the Capitol was the construction Of the
beautiful marble terrace on the north, west
and south fronts. an undertaking which
practically reversed the frontage of the
great building and dovetailed it into prac-
teal connection with the city of Washing
ton. which had grown up to the west
rather than the east of the building. as its
original designer expected would be the
event.
Mr. Miller was an architect and builder
by profession, and expert in all lines Of
architectural engineering. Although there
was no such official position, he was prac-
tically first assistant architect of the
Capitol, and naturally during the forty
years he spent in the building he became
known to nearly all the public men promi-
nent in national affairs during that period.
He was a pubiic-spirited citizen of Wash
ington, and was one of the first to enlist for
the deferse of the capital in 1851. He was
member of Kit Carson Post, G. A. R.,
and was one of the charter members of De
the time Of his death he was seventy-two
years old. His death is undoubtedly due to
the excessive torridity of the last few days
He was at the Capitol Friday, and went
home that night overcome by the heat. He
became unconscious about twelve hours
later and remained so until his death. His
physician attributes his death mainly to
the heat, although there was slight
apoplexy, which. under more favorable con-
ditions. would perhaps not have been neces-
sarily fatal. For year past, however, he
had been falling in health, and In conse-
quence Of an attack of pneumonia last win
ter his system was much enfeebled. A
widow and five daughters, Mrs. Almyra
Burgess, Mrs. w. r. Wilcox and Misses
Maggie, George and Lily, survive him.
The funeral will take place from the resi-
dence. lis c street northwest, tomorrow af
ternoon at 4:3O o'clock, and the interment
will be at the Congressional cemetery.

compelled to learn at least one verse
from the Bible, and recite the same at
the class meetings.
1t Is told of John Wesley that during
his rectorate at Savannah he adopted a
unique scheme to teach his Sunday
school pupils the Stiffness of vanity.
Among his pupils were many who had
to go barefoot from lack of money to
buy shoes. Those who wore shoes
tainted the less fortunate Wesley was
quick to grasp the situation, and at
the next class meeting he appeared in
bare feet. He was Indifferent to the
sensation he created by this odd lesson,
but continued to conduct his class meet
ings in bare feet, until the fastidious
pupils likewise abandoned their shoes
and stockings, and ceased taunting
their companions.
The interior of Christ church is in
teresting. The chanoel railing, table
and stalls are handsomely carved an
tique oak, and the lectern and font are
works of art. Its exterior is of Roman
Ionic type, and imposing in appear
