Fitzhugh Lee.

Tho most important post I'm the diplo-
matte service at the present time Is held
By General Fitzhugh Lee. who. as Con-
sul-General at Havana. IS so trusted by
his government that one word from nm
might bring on instant war between the
United States and Spain.
What wondroIs changes are wrought
by the whirlisig Of time
In the month of March. just third OF a
century ago, Fitzhugh Lee. the nephew
of Robert f.. Lee. laid down his arms as
a Confederate soldier. lie had fought
from the beginning to the end OF the war.
and when &c closed he was In command
of the whole cavalry corps or the Army
of Northern Virginia. Yet this soldier.
who had followed so courageously ana
so dcterminedly the fortunes OF the Bon
ME Blue Flag and who at the battle Oh
Winchester had three horses shot under
him. is to-day the strong reliance OF
the administration M Washington, ana
holds the entire confidence of the whole
American people. Although appointed

bofh fearlessness and discretion in the

neither be bulicd nor caJoled. lie IS
cool-headed and firm. lie gives utter
ance to no idle speeches. He maintains
himself with dignity. lie is quick TO re-
spond 10 the appeals Of Americans In dls-
trcss. He IS proof against the spanish
authorities. In every way he proves HIM
self worthy the name he bears.
Since the day when Lighthouse Harry,

durisg tho last recess of Congress is the
restoration of the Crypt II Is an inter-
esting feature of Capitol history that
this Crypt was TO have been the reposi-
tory for the remains Of Washington. \
proposition 20 that effect was made to
Mrs Washington and accepted Later
she determined that her husband should
lie at Mount Vernon. Some years ago.
when abe Library Of Congress began TO
overflow its narrow quarters, space was
sought In the capitol for the newspaper
files and for the collection presented to
the Library by Dr. Joseph NJ. Jones. in
default Of anything else available the
architect partitioncd of parts of the
Crypt When the library moved into its
new building recently, these partitions
were taken down: and now visitors who
have been accustomed TO a narrow pas
sage-way running through the ground
floor OF the Capitol will be surprised 10

building room as big as the rotunda
above. divided by big cream-oolored pill

wears after the first use OF the Senate
Chamber that the hues were discovered

ioists of the ceiling and putting loren

sudden confederation OF gas from 10"
lets creaed so much heat that often on
cold dav great sheets Of glass in the sky
light were shattered, and in summer the
temperature in the air-chamber ran up
often To 200 degrees. The new electric
lights are ignited noiselcssly and instan-
taneously and they make no material an
ference in the temperature
This extension OF the electric lighting
hsa reached the grounds as well as the
building and II Is confidently expected
that there viii bo no more hold-ups IN
the shadow Of the Capitol
What IS represented by the annual
appropriation of $4,000 and In the past
year by the special appropriations OF
$1,000 and 900, is not at all that II
takes TO run the Capitol and grounds.
Care OF the grounds costs $4,000 a year:

Senate. $500 ;the lighting of the build
ings and grounds and OF the botanic
gardens opposite, SS6,192; and the opera
ton OF engnc-horse and stables. 5000.
But for the building itself the cost Of
maintenance Is $4,000 year: or. In
GLIDING the improvements. $1,000 Some
business men figure repairs and i'm
provements at 10 per cent of the value
Of building; and as the actual cost Of
the Capitol TO date has been $4,000
900. Architect Clark deserves credit for
economy, and perhaps more liberal
appropriation for the improvement OF
the building. A great many improve
ments are needed still. The fiues on
the roof should be connected with an
exhaust fan; FOR when a northwest
wind strikes the dome OF the Capitol
II falls like blanket on the vents OF

NILES STANDISH.
A Descendant OF the sturdy Captain says
He Was "A Catholic.


Among the guests at Forefathers' Day
celebration in Cincinnati was DIR. Miles
standish. OF Boston. and In the course OF
an address he said that his ancestor the
celebrated Miles Standish OF history. was
a Catholic, and, he believed. died CATH
ole. III he was ever n Catholic he died
Catholic. because under the theory and
constitution OF that church a person once
regularly received into Il never gets out.
The statement is somewhat surprising,
and will probably set the A. II. A. breSn-
rem on an active historical crusade 10
dsprove II. Captain Standish IS one or
the best known of the pilgrim fathers.
for he deserves that title from having
come over in the Maynower. Like the
other pilgrims. he was English by birth
but had lived In Holland and Joined the
Maynower expedition there. What is
known OF his career would go 20 sustain
the statement that he was Catholic. lie
had served as a soldier I'm the Neither
lands. and was n fighter by profession.
lie was not a member OF the Plymouth
communion, but was a dissenter from the
dissenters Although not a member OF
the church. he was made captain OF tho
Plymouth settlement on account Of his
fighting qualities and executive ability.
Though he was n man OF stern and up
right character. there IS no evidence that
he ever posed as a religionist. II Is not
known that any historian or biographer
of Captain Standish has stated that he
was a Catholic. and II Is probable that
his descendant speaks from family re-
cords or traditions He would hardly
make the assertion unless he had con-
vinclng. or az least. very strong reason
for believing II true. " true Il Is prob
able that Standish was either born I'm the
Catholic church or became a Catholic In

CHRISTMAS DINNERS.

In France the Christmas dinner in- cludes a chicken roasted and garnished as only the French can do it, and liver pudding. rich with truffles and sea- soning.
 In Spain they are fond at holiday time of soup m;irde of sweet almonds, cream and a fish first roasted before the fire and pasted with lemon. garlic and oil.
 In Germany they have fat goose stuffed with chestiuts. pork boiled with sauer kraut, sausages, beef with sour sauce, black pudding, smoked goose, baked apples and beer.
 In Switzerland the goose is the lead ing dish, and there will likewise be found on the table confectionery, cakes, fruits, nut pudding. Geneva fritters- the national Gish-a paste made of fruits, marmalade, spices and eggs.
 Russia serves it's national soup of beef, boiled cabbage, sour cream and fermented beet juice, and it is ready to be eaten al any time during the day. A huge roast pig served with boiled buckwheat. cooked with liver and the heart of the pig, is the principal dish at dinner. With this is eaten a cheese creamed with butter, sugar and raisins, and colored eggs also grace the beard.
