THE ELEVATOR SHAFT.

Every hotel in the land is patrolled
by day and by night; and escaping gas
is soon detected. But this national edi-
flee, more valuable to all of our people
than any or all hotels, is patrolled only
in daytime, and then only on the main
floor. Upwards of one thousand people
are on the capitol pay roll, and yet the
capitol building is thus shamefully neg
lected.
The first effect of the explosion of
gas was the destruction of part of
the flooring of the law library. This
flooring was from three to five feet
thick. 1t required tremendous pres
sure to uplift that stone and cement
floor. But the floor was lifted up. and
then fell back upon the lower. or sub
basement, floor. Then the flames
rushed into the law library room. One
case of valuable books toppled over and
fell into the furnace, to be wholly con-
sumed. The books on the surrounding
shelves were scorched and charred, but
many of them can be preserved.
Thomas Jefferson's collection of
books, and the ancient Virginia manu-
scripts, were taken from this very place
and carried to the congressional Ii
brary only three days before the ex-
plosion and fire occurred. There were
$4,000 valuable volumes on the con-
tiguous shelves which were saved from
damage by water, because of the care
full work of the firemen, under the
skillful direction of the chief engineer
of the city fire department.
The file room Of the supreme court
was completely destroyed, the flames
devouring all of the manuscripts con-
tanning the original copies OF supreme
court opinions and decisions from the
foundation of the government. Many
OF these manuscripts were in the
handwriting of Jefferson. Adams, Mar
shall, Story, Chase. Bushrod, Washing
ton and others of like rank and fame.
All of this loss was caused primarily
because of the carelessness Of The off
cials to whom the duty Of policing the
capitol has been confided.
The floors and walls have been re-
paired. Masons and painters have re-
stored the building to its former appear
ance of solidity, strength and beauty.
There has been new freecoing, new wall
paint new furniture and new carpet

are lost forever; lost because of care
lessness and incompetency.

But this cooking business is getting
rather monotonous TO my folks. 1t
suits me very well financially, for Ben
Franklin said that penny saved was
two pence gained" and as paid Aunt
Ann two dollars a week ! now gain
four dollars a week. The trouble is
that nobody pays me for my work and
nobody pays my folks for theirs. When
the cotton picking is over we can get
a cook without begging. Cold weather
will run them in, but they are the same
uncertain creatures they always were,
They come when they please and quit

earth that so enjoys to-day and has
so little concern about tomorrow.

evil thereof" ! think we are getting
along splendidly without them, for we
have less cooking done and things last
longer. Warm breakfast and supper
and a cold lunch for dinner is enough
unless you have company and my opin-
ion is that during these hard times
and scarcity of cooks company ought
not to circulate to any alarming eX-
tent. 1t is an awful misfortune to be

OVER THE CRYPT.

seen, and with whose every curve and
angle they are perfectly familiar. But
| changes have occurred which are not
now revealed to the naked eye. An ac-
cidcnt happened on the afternoon OF
| Sunday, November g. which almost
wrecked the central part of the splen-
did building. By an explosion of gas in
a room beneath the supreme court
room, a fire was caused which re-
quired the most extreme efforts of our
entire fire department to control and
eXtinguish.
The central portion of the capitol is
the oldest, and was built of red sand
stone. The wings were built during the
beginning of the latter half of this cen
tury, aud they were completed in 1864.
The wings are of marble. The central
and oldest portion of the building is
painted white, as is also the massive
iron dome which surmounts that part
of the capitol.
The south wing is devoted to the use
OF the house of representatives., and the
north wing to the uses of the senate.
Those Legislative bodies formerly met
in the original sandstone central part.
The old hall of the house of representa-
tives is now called statuary hall; and
the old senate chamber is occupied by
the supreme court. 1t was under this
historic hall that the explosion oc-
cured.
In this old senate chamber the de-
bates of the senators of the early part
of the century were held; and those
walls have echoed to the voices of Hous-
ton, ilayne, Webster, Clay, Benton,
Gates, Trumbull, Doolittle and scores of
others whose names are writ upon the
enduring scroll of fame. In that delib-
erative chamber the great debate be-
tween Webster and Hayne was held.
Later, in the winter of 1867, the cleo
toral commission held its sessions there.
That the capitol building should have
been endangered by explosion of gas,
and by consequent fire, is disgraceful
to the supervising architect and to the
rgeant-at-arins. The tiremen, watch

ing the absence of the congress from
this city the capitol building is like
