The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-04-11

lively short sojourn in that part of the
works devoted to its manufacture some
times gives rise to various unpleasant
symptoms, as the writer can testify. In
my case, ten minutes exposure to the
fumes sufficed to induce profuse running
at the eys, nose and mouth, accompanied
by constant desire to expectorate and
followed by shivering, nausea and head
ache. The room in which this particular
poison is prepared, with its vast eolmaze
Of pipes and retorts, resembles an alchem-
lists laboratory.
OF course not all the products of this
weird factory are poisonous. Neither are
all the smells nauseous, nor all the sights
uncanny. In one apartment, for instance,
my nostrils are saluted with an exceedingly
sweet SAVIOR reminding me of pear
drops, sweets beloved of my youth. 1t
is acetate of amyl, the precise drug used
to give to the CONNECTION in question its
peculiar flavor. Another smaller cham
Der, from which emanates a strong odor
of camphor, is a veritable fairy place of
pure white crystals. Facsimies of palms,
ferns. and masses of tropical vegetation
droop in graceful festoons from the roof
and completely cover the walls A repro
duction of the interior of this wondrous
chamber on the stage of Drury Lane
would be sufficient to assure the success
of next years pantomine. OF course the
AOWCtS anu lEtilS are composer OF nGlLner
ice nor snow, but pure white camphor
crystals.
Some of the substances are so exceed
ingly volatile that during the process of
manufacture they must never be permit
ted to come into contact with the outside
air. a typical case is that of ether, which
is passed from still to still and from re-
tort to retort by means of long copper
pipes, until al last it energies the finished
article of commerce. It produces, when
swallowed, an almost immediate exhilara-
ton of spirits, followed by unsteadiness of
gait, thickness of utterance, confusion of
ideas-in fact all the typical symptoms
of ordinary intoxication. The effect passes
away quickly, however, so that an ether
drinker can get drunk three or four times
an hour.
My last visit before quitting the works
was to the testing-room, where, surround
ed by hundreds of samples of the deadliest
posons known to science sat a tall. slen-
der and pretty young girl. Ranged in
front of her was a collection of tubes of
various shapes and sizes; thermometers
graduated to the one-hundredth part of
a degree centigrade, and scales so deli
cately poised that an eyelash laid upon
one OF the balances DETECTED the indicator
nearly half an inch. BY the aid of these
and other strange and beautiful pieces of
apparatus, she was enabled to record the
exact strength of the various products of
the factory.

a Class of Fepcininity Peculiar to
 the National Capital
Girls We Spend Most of Their Time Listet'ing to Speeches While Con- g-sss Is In Session - Some
 Historic Flirtations.
Special Washington Letter. l

Strangers in Washington study the statesmen ir the senate and house of representatives. They like to hear speeches and argumentative dialogues. The capitol guides sit beside visitors in the galleries and tell them the names of the statesmen who are speaking.
 Newspaper men and others who are daily at the capitol have more pleasure in studying the people in the galleries than in hero-worshiping the statesmen on the floorsof either house of congress. It is strange that women, who are not supposed to know much about politics or statecraft, should come in such mum bers to the capitol on all occasions.
 Writers who delight in sarcasm, quips and tests, rather than in accurate DOT trayals. have said that women in Wash ington are attracted more by the brass buttons of the young officers of the army and navy than by anything else masculine in this city. There is an ele- ment of truth in the assertion, but our ladies have some higher ambitions than the slurriug statement would indicate. Senators and members of the house of representatives come in foa . large share of the attention of the fa5;' 3e1. Fhree-fourths of the audiences of con eress are made up of women and often there are few others in the galleries. Except few strangers and section of the co1ored population, who find the Iublic galleries comfortable as q sleep ing place. few men listen to the proceed ings of the house ard senate. For some reason the senate. while not entirely neglected, is not as popular with the gallery goddesses as is the house. It may be because the senators are older and less gallant, though there is surely gallantry enough in that decorous body of sages. But in the house there are a great many young men, and few of the youngest and handsomest are un- married. This may account for the preference that is shown that branch ot congress. There are always women in the galleries known as the speaker $ gallery" and the members gallery though often there is not a. nan to be seen anywhere above the floor of the house.
 During the very cold weather many unemployed colored men go to the cap itol. take seats in the warm galleries, and, having no appreciation of the forensic discussions, go to sleep and sometimes snore so that the watchmen or door-keepers awaken and eject them. But despite their indigenee and bathless condition these poor fellows are Amer jean citizens, and they have as much right in the galleries of congress as

any of our prosperous merchants. man. ufacturers or millonaires. No cards of admission are required to the gentle mems gallery" or the ladies gallery" as the signs over the doors read; but cards are required of those who would enter either of the galleries reserved her representatives and senators.
 The southeast gallery of the house of representatives faces the entire mem bership on the floor. The congressman nave but to lift their eyes above the dead level of their desks, and theIr thoughts above the dead level of dreary legislation, to behold a vision of love- liness, and they often do lift both their eyes and thoughts. Even before the hour for the meeting of the house, the fair habitues of this gallery come trip ping through the corridors, singly and in pairs and ride up in the elevator with the assembling statesmen, and then take their places in the gallery, smiling down on the most attractive branch of this great government. The women who have business with the statesmen, or make any pretense of having busi- ness with them, keep to the lower cor riders or sit in the corner in statuary hall, which has been set aside and fur nished as a waiting-room. Those who go to the gallery are there for entertain ment or instruction.
 They are usually there for entertain ment, and many a serious irritation has started between the girls in the gal leries and the representatives on the floor. Several years ago a congress- man from California exchanged glances, smiles and signals with gallery god dess, and finally he went to the gal lery. seated himself by the girl, was welcomed and became the most ardent, attentive and affeetionate of lovers. Just before the close of the session of congress the statesman received card from the brother of the lady and a lively meeting was held in the speakers lobby. The brother gave the congress- man 24 hours to marry the girl, under threat of death. The entrapped con gressman left town that night, declined renomination, retired to private life and has never since been in Washing tor. He was brilliant fellow with in- tense ambition, but he fell away out Of sight politically because of his firta- lion with q gallery goddess.
 Tn the galleries, however, there are many women who are diligent students of legislation and human nature, taking broad arfd sweeping view from the gallery elevation. Some look upon the 'nsire aggregation of talent on the floor
