Mrs Mckinley appears to be dis
charging the duties incumbent Upon
the mistress of the White House, not
withstanding all the reports as to
her invaidism. 1t is now announced
that she will perform all the duties
that have devolved upon other presi-
dents wives unless the unforeseen
should happen. Her ailment consists
chiefly in the partial paralysis Of one
leg, which causes no pain or even
much bodily weakness-simply some
difficulty in moving about. Other
wise she is as well as most people o
middle age.

Our country's tlag-to thee we give
Our hearts devotion while we live;

True as the field of blue, wellbe
And serve our country faithfully;

Then stars like thine, with radiant light,

When all her youth shall loyal be
To thee, oh Flag of Liberty!

MORE TAXES.

One billion and forty million dol

has appropriated and spent. Presi-

address talked about raising the
tariff to raise more needed revenue.

dens Of debt piling up more taxes is
not only needed, but more will have
to be raised to meet expenses or 60

bies of the Republican party is a
protective tariff" They propose
to make protective tariff" a ne
cessity by piling up "billion and
forty million dollars" debt to be

course you will have to increase the
tariff. Tax the people to death and
then cry out that mckinley is the
advance agent ofprosperity." Pros.

The Delight of Visitors In Washing
tOE-Queer Scenes at the
Capitol.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.-Upon
white marble block in the tiled floor OF
statuary hall in the capitol the eye Of
the visitor rests, attention being drawn
to it by the unusual sight of brass
circular plate embedded in the stone.
Upon the brass are the raised words,
John Quincy Adams, 1S48. Here"
After having served his country in
various elective offices, including the
chief magistracy, John Quincy Adams
entered the house of representatives
and there won the greatest and most
enduring fame of his life as the cham
pion of the right of petition" AS
member of the house, his desk and
chair were located where now the mar
BILE tile and brazen inscription marx
the spot He died in the harness, hav-
ing been stricken on this very spot ard
carried thence to the room of the
speaker, where he died.
Statuary hall was for many years &C.
cupied by the house of representative
previous to the completion of the great
south wing of the capitol, where the
representatives now meet annually. 1t
is a semi-circular room, is this cid hall
of representatives, and a very peculiar
place. For some reason, which no ore
has ever been able to explain, it is an
echo hall, possessed of remarkably &C.
centric acoustic properties. There are
certain blocks upon the tiled floor
which echo to other blocks, SCI that,
when a capitol guide who is familiar
with these blocks is standing seventy
five feet from you, he VIII address you
in an ordinary tone of voice, and the
sound will come from the floor beneath
you, or seemingly in the air above your
head. Under the eagle there is an exit,
and any one standing in the door back
of those marble pillars can talk away
across the hall to the opposite entrance
and startle strangers as they enter the
room Some of the newspaper men have
learned the location of these emo stones
and take great delight in puzzling
friends or new men on Newspaper row.
The natural telephone is one Of the
wonders of this wonderful hall. Away
over in the corner you can stand and
whisper, while your friends may be at
a similar corner on the opposite side
of the room and hear every syllable as
plainly as though you were standing
face to face. The sound goes up
wards, presumably, and comes down
on the other side. But how it is con-
nected no one knows. This is the most
wonderful acoustic puzzle in America,
a great deal more inexplicable than
the well-known echo at the top of the
deme. I've told you of that great oval
picture sixty feet in diameter which
spans the rotunda in the dome of the
capitol The ease with which whis-
pered words are carried across that
picture, a distance of sixty feet, is
startling to strangers, but it is easily
accounted for on scientific principles;
but the echoes in Statuary hall are
