The congressman Joined this group. Of
young ladies. They were pert, handsome
and neatly attired. A few wore eyeglasses
and one or two carried lorgnettes. The
principal of the State Normal school OF
Fitchburg, Mass, accompanied them. The
guide who had them In charge was one
who had made a study of the capitol, and
evidently knew what he was talking
about. His story was interesting. He told
how the plans OF the building originated
and were accepted. Under the authority Of
congress, then meeting in Philadelphia a
town lot and 500 were offered for the best
design. Out Of eighty odd competitors, the
committee selected two plans. One was
drawn by DR. william Thornton, an Eng
llsh physician, and the other by Stephen
Halett a French architect. President
Washington favored the plans OF the Eng
lishman, and Thomas Jefferson those
drawn by the Frenchman. Washington
finally convinced Jefferson that Thorn
tons plans were the best, and they were
adopted. Before the corner stone was laid

were eager 20 hear every word. The guide
next described the laying OF the corner
stone. He added that the Senate wing was
first constructed and finished In 1850.
Work then began on the House wing,
which was finished IN 1911. The two build
ings were connected by a bridge. Thorn
toms plans provided for a dome. but the
dome was not built until after the des-
truction OF the wings by the British, un-
der Gen. Ross. In 1914. In 1871 the recon
struction Of the building was begun. and
Il was completed In ten years. The capitol
remained thus until 1851. The House and
Senate extensions were then built and fin

dome was finished In 1858.

went to the capitol recently at a quarter
of nine in the morning. The sky was all
most Reckless, and the foliage was bath
ed In sunshine. A balmy spring breeze
stirred the leaves OF the trees and the birds
were singing in the lilaes and accacias. A
dozen wheelmen were darling over the
plaza like swallows on the wing. There was
a crowd at the main entrance of the great
marble structure.
Fancying that somebody had been hurt,
the congressman mounted the steps and
found that the crowd was composed of
New England school teachers, on their an
nual excursion, waiting for admission to
the rotunda. Nineteen out of twenty were

Fife has made several American yachts.
and is the only English yacht builder who
can rival the Herreshoffs.
A magnificent new steam yacht built
this year is the property Of Harrison -.
Moore a railroad magnate. II is the fast
est steam yacht in the world and its
name is the Marietta. Its contract build
ing price was 100000 and when entirely
completed It will probably cost half as
much more. It's speed Is twenty-three
miles an hour and It has length of ia
feet.
4 fine steam yacht launched Decora-
ticn day. belongs to Charles Fleischman.
of Cincinnati, who is well known on the
turf. The Hiawatha was built in Brook
iyn and can race at speed of twenty
two miles an hour. It has length OF 172
feet over all, and is one of the finest
pleasure yachts in the world.
These yachts are all on the water now
and enjoying the yachting season, which
is at its hight. They are run at tremen-
dous expense and are kept up In a
marvellous manner.
Each day the men scrub the decks and
whiten them with lemon juice. and as
soon as touched by the spray they are
rubbed down again. The finest yachts
are cleaned morning and night, by rub
bling with the cut surface OF a lemon, and
for each scrub a box OF lemons Is con-
sumed.
A great number OF people arc employed
taking care OF the yachts, az Is proved
by the rejoicing among the sailors, enRin-
