That grand monumental building, the Cap
itol, has no counterpart. The new Con-
gressional Library, with its statues. its bas
reliefs, and its marble halls, is veritable
palace. The great monument, five hum
dred and fifty-five feet high, is the loftiest
memorial shaft in the world, and the Ma
tional Museum has the reputation of being
the most perfect In design for the purpose
of any in existence In point finterest it
is second only to the famous British Mu-
scum of London. The three day tours Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
arranged to cover all these points of inter-
est, and many more. The tour of this city
is made under the personal escort of an ex-
perienced tourist agent. and every facility
is afforded for complete visit.
The next tour of the present series will
leave New York and Philadelphia March

commodations and every necessary expense

purchased the farm owned by Miss Sadie
May at Cayott's Corner. Mr.. Pierce noti-
fed the tenant, George Rhoades, to vacate,
