PAINTING The GREAT DOME
New White Coat on the Goddess of
Liberty's Pedestal.
A job That Has to Be Done Every
Four or Five Years-Costs
About $1,000.

The Goddess of Liberty on the Capitol
will soon have snow-white pedestal, with
no suggestion that Liberty has her feet in
the dust. Under her extre mites VIII
stretch 900 square feet, more OF less, Of
new painted dome, with never q fleck of
the city's dirt and smoke. Over the law
makers heads next session viii be
roof glistening with the emblem OF purity
II is found necessary every four or five
years, even in such d clean and smoke free
city as Washington, to paint the dome OF
the Capitol, ii il is TO look well. 1t is
said that during Republican Congresses it
gets soiled more quickly. From the feet
OF the Goddess TO the building proper, at
the very base OF the dome, the whole sur
face on such occasions is hand-painred by
clever msnipulators OF the brush.
This job has Just begun. 1t would take
six men, working all day, four months, If
there were no. rainy weather. Usually the
work is interrupted and takes longer.
1t is expected, however, fthat it viii be
completed this year before the next session
OF Congress.
The job Is somewhat costly one, aver
aging something like So, 600 for the wages
OF the nnen, at So day, the paint and other
expenses. 1t is one that some Congresses
fail TO provide for when it s needful; but
economy Is pressed hard and there have
been times in the history of the dome W hen
twasyerygriiny. Inrecant years, however,
the thing has been done with fair reg
ularity.
The foreman Of this painting Job is Mr.
Albert Ports, who has been connected with
the Capitol force for great many years.
He is dn expert rigger and climber and
uses the dome as a kind of lawn and play
ground. He is said to be one OF the most
cool headed men in the city, entirely un-
affected bydizZy heights and yawning CULTS
He adjusts the great white curved ladder
which alwayshangs in the dome, and moves
IT from one position to another, and then
superintends the other parts of the work.

borrowed Money From His Host

In Charge of 1t.

A clever confidence game was worked
on Mr.. Tucker Garrett, who lives near
Arlington, yesterday.
a few days ago a stranger appeared at
the home of Mr.. Garrett, and, after prais-
ing the beauties of his place, told him that
he would like board for a few weeks. as
n" did not think lie could find more de-
sirable place TO spend the summer. Terms
were agreed upon, and the man, who gave
his name az James Wright and Baltimore
as his place or residence, took up his
abode at Mr. Garrett's home. Monday he
told his host that he beliey he would
wire his daughterin Baltimore to join him.
Yesterday he informed Mr. Garrett that
she would be here on the early train,
and asked him If he would not hook up
Ills team and come into the city with him
to meet her. To this Mr. Garre ett con-
sented, and the pair reached Washington
early, Mr.. Wright going to the telegraph
office. and claiming upon his return that
he had rcceiy ed Message from his augh-
ter that she would not reach Washington
until the p. III. train.
At this iuncture Mr. Wright suddenly
discovered that in changing clothes he had
not taken his pocketbook out of his coat,
and asked Mr.. Garrett to let him have
some money until their return home. As
the boardcr had frequently displayed large
rolls OF money, Mr. Garrett atonce produced
50, all he had with him, and gave it to
Wright, at the same time telling him ht
would take car and go hack out home
and get his money If 50 wished. OF course
Wright did not want to put him 10 this
trouble, but would be glad if he did AS
soon as Mr.. Garrett was out of sight Wright
