LIKE THE PRESIDENTS FACE.
A Shadow That Fell on n White
House Pillar.
Washington Star. 3D.

A coincidence at the White House yes
terday is commented upon to-day by seve-
raj employees there. Shortly before noon
one of the attaches was attracted by q
shadow near the top of the northeast pill
lar of the portico. On observing 1t more
closely II assumed the form OF race.
and then the outlines began TO so closey
resemble the features of President Nc
Kinley that general attention was direct
ed to the phenomenon, with the result
that a number OF attaches and visitors
saw and wondered at the shadow. which
soon passed away. No serious impression
was made upon the minds of those VINO
witnessed the sight. as at that time no
news had arrived as to the illness OF the
Presidents mother.

Speaker an is at work now preparing
| q list of the House committees. The lively
| sessions Of the House have afforded him
| an opportunity to become acquainted with
| the members, and he will thus probably
| be enabled to make better selection
than had the body adjourned until to-
morrow, after being convened Wednes-
day, which has been the custom mere
tofore
The House is going ahead almost at a
break-neck pace this session, at least the
body has taken that gait thus far. The
characteristic traits of the old members
are already being shown. Mr.. Merritt
Cooke. of Norfolk, who has earned for
himself the title, THE Watchdog OF the
Treasury" is as active as ever in guard
ing the States interests Wherever her
finances are concerned. MIR. Cook Is
convincing in his arguments, and always
has the attention of the House when he
is upon his feet.
Mr.. u. w. Saunders, of Franklin, is enc
OF the strongest members OF the pody'
and his words always carry weight with
them. The side he is on Is generally the
winning one. The Delegate from FRANKLIN
Is a hard worker and If he had his way
the body would not adjourn for the CHRIST
mas holidays But this is n custom which
even Mr.. Saunders cannot succeed IN
doing away with. And this session the
members will be all the more anxious 10
return to their homes when the glal sea-
son approaches, as this year their duties
commenced with the very irst day OF
December and they have not been iool-
ing away any of their time during the
opening week.
STRONG ON SARCASM.
Mr.. r. c. Pitcher OF Fauquier. has a
mode of fighting measure with which ne
is not In sympathy which often causes
some OF his opponents to feel rather un-
comfortable. Sarcasm is a weapon which
he well knows how to use, and he can
turn the laugh OF the entire House upon
any member who may be unfortunate
enough to come within his range
Mr. Isaac Diggs, of King William, Is
also a forcible speaker. He also can use
sarcasm when he sees fit, and 10 good
effect.
MIR. J. C. Parker, OF Southampton.
known all over the State. as the author
of the Parker election law. is proni-
nent member OF the House. and when
ever ne addresses himself to any subject,
he makes telling speech.
FEAR TROUBLE AHEAD.
These are days when the ofice-holders
dreams are troubled with visions of being
reduced to the ranks OF common, every
day cftizens; when the purse-strings or
the Commonwealth will no longer be
loosened for his benefit

NOT AN ATTRACTIVE OFFICE.
Few Candidates for the Office of
Building Inspector.

There is as yet only one man who
has formally announced his candidacy
for the office of building inspector
besides the present incumbent, John
Nelson. The candidates must undergo
an examination conducted by a board
consisting of two architects and three
mcster builders. The term of Mr.
Nelson will expire this month and in
accordance with the recommendation
of the board of examiners Mayor Bal
ley will name his successor. The term
is two years.
Mayor Bailey will in a few days an
nounce the name of the examiners
There is a question as to whether OF
not they should be confirmed by coun.
ellis and Mayor Bailey will get al
opinion from the city solicitor on the
subject before naming them.
The terms of the park commissioners
will expire on Sept. 1, and prior t.
that date Mayor Bailey will send tc
select council the names of those he
intends to confer the appointments
on. At the first meeting in July the
board of health will meet for reor,
ganization.
