There has to be in addition large amount
many thousand dollars-expended for re-
furnishing the various rooms.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1898-11-10


The fire started about $50 p. M, Sunday
In small room in the sub-basesnent, in the
old part of the east front 1t was near The
crypt constructed fer the purpose of receiving
,Washingten's remains. Over the room was
an old air shaft, and adjoining this, above al
elevator for the use of the Justices OF the Su,
preme Court, the Office of the Marshal, the
Law Library; and several other reoins used
for files and sther purposes also adJolned on
the floors above.
In the small room was a large gas meter
through which passed the gas used in the
central part of the Capitol. The belief is
that this leaked gas enough to fill the room,
and was then ignited by small jet left burn
ing to light the watchmen III their rounds
through the labyrinth of the sub basement.
An explosion Of tremendous force resulted.
Above the meter were strong arches of
masonry, and Immediately above where the
explosion took place the walls are cracked.
Notwithstanding this, the entire floor of the
corridor leading to the Law Library, on the
basement or ground floor, Is completely torn
up, and lies scattered and In heaps upon the
floor of the sub-basement Beside the gas
meter was an elevator shaft, which had re-
Gently been equipped with new $4,000
elevator. Through this elevator shaft and
the opening made by the explosion and the
upheaval of the floor the roaring flame OF
gas shot up and caused great portion OF
the damage by fire.
Immediately in front Of where the gas
meter stood, and toward the crypt. the walls
are cracked in several places. The force OF
the explosion seemed to take somewhat
peculiar course. The corridor leading to the
Il I
was entirely torn up for a space of 300 square
feet or more. The same is to considerable
extent true OF the basement floor in the air
shaft. There the heavy stone Tagging form
ing the floor was buIged up surrounding the
entire shaft to the extent Of foot, although
the weight of the pillars themselves kept
them in place. Heavy stone tagging several
inches in thickness was torn up and crumb bled
into bits, so great was the force OF the ex-
plosion.
In the sub-basement doors were blown
from their hinges and shattered into kindling
wood, and effects OF the explosion are TO be
traced all the way across this section of the
building. The large stones which formed
the coping of these doors also show the force
of the conclusion, and are bulged outward
as far as two inches IN some places, although
the main wall of the building is intac
and unimpaired. From this point through
the various passages and small rooms to tin
point where the meter was located there i
nothing but debris and the evidence of
terrible explosion and damage by fire am
water The arches are cracked and bulged
although the foundation is as solid as ever
and 10 times the force Of the explosion wouls
not have injured it.

THE death of Vincent Pyrwhit, j. p,
of Ellerdon House, Ellerdon, in the
county of Buckinghamshire, would in
the ordinary way have received no more
attention than the death of any other
simple country gentleman. The cir
cumstances of his death, however,
though now long since forgotten, were
sensational, and attracted some notice

Pyrwhit himself was very ordinary
country gentleman, a good fellow, but
in no way brilliant. He was devoted to
his wife, who was some Is years young
er than himself, and remarkably beau
tiful. She was quite good woman, but
} she had her faults. She was fond Of ad-
flirt. She misled men very cleverly, and
was then sincerely angry with them for
having been misled. Her husband never
troubled his head about these firta-
tions, being assured quite rightly that
she was good woman. He was not
jealous; she, on the other hand, was
possessed of jealousy amounting al
most to insanity. This might have
caused trouble if he had ever provided

death of a child some time ago, arose

THE OLD HuNrsMAN.

There's keen and grim old huntsman
On a horse as white as snow;
Sometimes he Is very swift,
And sometimes he Is slow.
But he never Is at fault.
For he always hunts at view,
And he rides without halt
After you.
The huntsman's name is Death.
His horses name Is Time;
He is coming, he is coming,
AS sit and write this rhyme;
He Is coming, he Is coming,
As you read the rhyme write,
You can hear his hoofs low drumming
Day and night.
You can hear the distant drumming
AS the clock goes tick-a-tack,
And the Ginning of the hours
Is the music of his pack.
You may hardly note their growing
Underneath the MONDAY sun,
But at night you hear them bowling
AS they run.
And they never check or falter,
For they never miss their kill;
Seasons change and systems alter,
But the hunt is running still.
Hark! the evening chime is playing.
Ger the long gray town 1t peals;
Don't you hear the death hound baying
At your heels?
Where is there an earth or burrow?
Where a cover left for you?
A year, a week, perhaps tomorrow,
Brings the huntsman's death halloo;
Day by day he gains upon us.
And the most that we can claim
Is that when the hounds are. on US
We die game.
And somewhere dwells the Master,
By whom 1t was decreed:
He sent the savage huntsman,
He bred the snow-white steed.
These hounds which run forever,
He set them on your track;
He hears you scream, but never
Calls them back.
He does not heed our suing.
We never see his face:
He hunts to our undoing,
We thank him for the chase.
We thank him and we flatter.
We hope-because we must
But have we cause? No matter!
Let US trust!

Did You Make Your Grain.O This Way Z


Here are the latest directions: Use one
tablespoonful of Grain.O to two cups of
cold water. Mix the Grain.O with half
an egg and add the water. Be sure to
measure) After the water gets to the
boiling point let boil for fifteen or TWEEN
~ minutes. Use cream and sugar to
'uit the taste. If you have not cream
use hot milk.
A lady said: "The first time drank
Grain. o did not like it, but after using
it for ten days and forming the habit,
nothing would induce me to 60 back to
coffee" This is the experience of all.
If you will follow directions, measure it
every time and make it the same, and
try it for ten days, you will not 60 back
to coffee
