A Visit To w ashington.
IN LOVE WITH THE CAPITAL CITY.


 Dear Editor of THE BEE: Again we are on the train, flying toward home. AS 1t will be several hours before we arrive in New York, will just fetch my fountain pen and pad forth from my ''grip sack, !" and tell you about my visit to Washington while my enthusiasm is hot. The three hour ride from Phila- delphia is full of interest, ,affording charm ing glimpses of the Delaware river and bay. We could not fail to see that Wilmington Is & breezy and beautiful city. At Havre de Grace we crossed the mouth of the Susquehanna. We rode over two expenses of tide water, which we were told are "Bushy" and "GuI- powder" rivers. They are bits of the Chesapeake. must not omit to tell you how intently we looked at Baltimore. That 1t Is an imposing city, with myriads of churches and stately public buildings, is very evident. It Is city of homes too as the multitudes of little brick houses attest. We were eagerly surveying the bridges and regular, wide streets, when we entered tunnel, both long and az gravatlng, for we knew the things we wanted to see were existing calmly over our head. All signs of snow here disap- peared. It was like finding earliest spring in January. We were very com fortably entertained at "La Fetras," a temperance house, roomy and homelike, well provisioned and reasonable, quIet place to spend the Sabbath. We awoke the next morning to find the day very rainy, but we set forth to go to church and found ourselves at Vernon Place Methodist Church South. The service is severely simple, but fervent. After the silent prayer that closes the order oi worship, number of people approached us and greeted us very cordially, asking us of if we knew where we crossed ths line. Tn the afternoon we attended thu beautiful Metropolitan Methodist church, where Gen Grant attended. VI

The greatest danger from LaGrippe IS of it's resulting in pneumonia. If req sonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's cough remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for lagrlppe, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that this remedy is certain preventive of that dread disease. It will effect 8 permanent cure in less time than any other treatment. The % and 50 cent sizes for sale by E. F. Hawley, New

 one of whose foundations is onyx. High
 up in the dome above the lantern is
 gilded finial representing the Torch of
 Science ever burning. The exquisite
 representation of Science ana the effect of the torch, like the blaze of ruby,
 will ever be one of the most enchanting
 of memories. The building will hold ,50O 900 books, 900 GOO more than the
 largest existing library in Paris. There is map room. and space devoted to i graphic art. It requires no imagination
 to believe that the foliations of leaves. l the fiutter of daintiest petals, the deli
 cacy of myriad feathers, and the gliding

 arranged by fairies in easy grace and suddenly transmitted into stone.
 We hastened through the botanical gardens, the Medical Museum with it's
 horrible revelation of human suffering,
 but showing the means of relief, and the fisheries. The National Museum again
 detained us. It was very refresing to
 sit beside fountain surrounded by
 palms and study the model of the beau
 tifuI Statue of Freedom on the summit
 of the Capitol. We took our lunch here
 that we might have time to examine the
 relics, the symbols of the religions and traces, and only left because of limited fI time.

TO HEAR TALMAGE.

We were impressed with the number of
 poor, hungry looking people, who need ed to have the mind of the Master made
 very clear.
 Our first visit on Monday was made at
 the Bureau of Engraving, branch build- ing of the Treasury. Here are printed government bonds, the National currency,
 postage and revenue stamps, etc. The
 plates, we are told, are carefully guard ed. The original plate Is never printed from but replica is made for actual use
 so that government may not be it's own
 counterfeiter. Our guide told us to ex-
 anime the engraving on a United States bill. It is the most beautiful money in
 the world. The bills are printed upon specially prepared, silk-fibred paper, the process being a trade secret. The print
 ing is accomplished with the greatest accuracy, for if more than two sheets are
 in the least imperfect leach sheets makes four notes) the labor is deducted from the operators wages. Thirty days are consumed in the successive processes tc
 which each piece of currency is subject
 ed in the bureau, from the time it scome' in silk-fbered paper, until ready fol
 delivery. Each piece of work passe'
 through the hands of 30 different people We counted 10 different processes
 Every morning at g o'clock, million dollars is brought over to the Treasur! in wagon, made of steel, attended by force of guards. Here the sheets receiv the red seal and the final count.
 The system of rapid counting b! women experts is quite wonderful to tn = initiated. With lightning speed the. count and examine, noting the red sea and blue numbers at the same time Each expert must count 32,0O0 notes day. Finally the money Is packed in ], plain brown paper, sealed with lonI } sticks of sealing wax and made read. 3 for the national banks. A large amour of the money issued Is used to redeer l old money. Wornout bills are made int piles, secured with bands of paper, the 3 taken to the canceling machine wher r they receive four unmistabable, square : cornered holes through them. Afte [ being cut into halves, they are ready fo ! the macerator, huge, spherical machin q fitted with closely-set knives.

of the ''whispering gallery" where the softest whisper can be distinctly heard at distance of fifty feet. The columns of the Senate chamber are topped with Latrobes' tobacco capitals. At the foot of the east stairway are the cornstalk columns. These have been iocosely called the American order of architec. ture. I consider, MT Editor, that it is every Americans duty to go to Wash ington and study the Capitol. The build ing is replete with historical paintings, frescoes, carving, Dronzes and statuary, while the wilderness of departmental rooms is both imposing and confusing. It is satisfying to our pride to know that for majesty, elegant symmetry and adap- tedness to it's purpose, the capital build ing is unsurpassed by that of any na tion. It was getting late so we took a ride around by the White House and out Connecticut avenue, where we could gee the groups of carriages and the pretty ladies who were at- tending the afternoon receptions. A ride past the Zoo and out to Cherry Chase, completed the day. On Tuesday
 morning we went directly to the Con- gressional building. I often wondered
 why my friends never attempted to de-
 scribe it to me. As we entered the cep-
 tral marble hall and there burst upon
 us the intimate detail of carved and mo- | saic work, ,illumined with artistic touches
 of gilded splendor, it was apparent at
 once that all description would be futile.

Bishop Satterlee, ,Episco pal, spoke on the Sabbath question. The thought is to do away with Sunday mails, papers and needless traffic that ''the man servant and maid servant" may be included in the Sabbath rest. Dr Crafts, who is the leading spirit in "Twentieth Century Reforms" told how to get the matter before Congress. The President of the w. c. T.
