rHe CAPITOL CRYPT.
9ne Of the Most Imp cssivs Architectural
SIGHTS In Washington.


Sights In Washington.
The clearing odt Of the old brick
partition from the crypt OF the Capt.
tol, at Woshingtin, which was begun
some time ago, has been compile I'd,
and the whole place has been paint
ed. The effect Is even more wonder
full than 1t promised to be. l doubt
II there is anything more impressive
In the architecture OF this Capitol City
than is this crypt. 1t Is solemnly,
sombrely grand. Its grandeur dis
closed for the first time in twenty
years, 1t seems as II 1t had just been
dug from the earth, where 1t had laid
buried since an age of architectural
splendor. There is nothing ornate
about 1t in color or form. 1t is simply
q forest OF perfectly plain columns
standing close together and filling in
an immense circle-as large as the
rotunda above-tbe columns support
ing a network of interlacing arches.
The lntersecting arches make sharp
angles, though the swell OF each arch
Is full and round. The vaulted CELL
ing thus formed is low enough, to-
gether with the short, thick columns,
to give the chamber the appearance
of great size and to render it grandly
sombre. l believe it would be i'm
possible for any one to enter this
crypt, as 1t now is, It's entire outline
and proportion disclosed, for the first
time without pausing at the entrance
with a sense OF awe and wonder

His Tomb a Living Tree,

Lumbermen cut down a large oak
tree on the Baker farm, near Dunv
kirk, Ohio, that had probably been
standing for over 100 years They dis
covered, after the tree was down, that
1t was hollow. ana they cut several
feet off the end. They had not gone
far until they came across the skele-
ton of a human being. From the
growth Of the tree 1t is apparent that
this man. who Is supposed to have
been an Indian. had crawled into this
tree at least seyenty-iiye years ago
and had died. the tree having grown
over him. The bones We're in good
state Of preservation.

Acme OF Inc ,mpcteuce.

Mrs. Hiram Constant usually had
two servants. Perl aps it would be bet
ter to state that Mrs. Hiram Constant
usually thought she had two servants
for when she left home and servants
she never knew how many would be
there when she returned. There might
be two servants and the linen and the
spoons. or there might be one servant,
part of the linen and some of the
spoons.
When at home Mrs. Hiram Constant
knew she had two servants. They kept
her busy days, and nights she lay
awake evolving plans of campaign for
the subjugation of Ireland, Germany
Sweden or Darkest Africa. She talked
about her servants almost constantly
A spinster friend once reproved her
for this.
why don't you talk OF other things? !?
You would have other subjects to talk
about if you would only study and i'm
prove yourself"
Study and improved" echoed Mrs.
Hiram Constant. Il have to spend all
my time studying and improving my
servants"
The other day Mrs. Hiram Constant
discharged her seventeenth cook, and
was naturally full of the subject. No.
II, according to Mrs. C.'s story, was
the very worst that ever happened.
Wasn't she competent" asked q
friend.
! Competent" cried the long-suffer-
Ing matron. WAS she competent?
Why, my dear Mrs. Virgins, she
couldn't even boil water without burn
Ing it,"

Art and Mystery of Driving Hog.
The difficulty of driving q single hog

The difficulty Of driving single hog
was we'll illustrated at Lynchburg,
Va, recently, at about train time.
Some men were driving herd of
swine to Amherst, and as they ap-
preached the bridge one of the ami
mails became obstreperous and bolted
toward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest of the drove.
The three or four men, assisted by
volunteers, placed themselves between
the city and the rebellious hog in a
semi-circle, while one of their number
advanced cautiously and began to
tickle the hogs nose with a pine
brush. This would make the animal
turn round, and each time he did so
he would move few steps toward
the bridge and the rest Of the drove.
The manoeuvres were watched with
a great deal of interest by large
crowd OF spectators, and when finally
the wayward one returned to the bo-
som of the drove, very audible mur-
muir of admiration went Up from the
crowd

portfolio Of minister of justice, and at
that time he proved his capacity for

Amputations After q Tnramtula Rite

Amputations After a Tnramtula Rite
James Hemmingway, an NJ, K. and
T. brakeman, has just been d!scharg-
ed from the company's hospital at Sc
dalia, Mo-, after four months treat
ment for tarantula bite. On the
night of Sept 9, Hemingway touched
a tarantula and was bitten on the
tip of the middle finger of the right
hand. He felt sharp pang of pain
at the time. but paid little attention
to it, and went on with his work.
The bitten finger began to slough
off. The hand and arm became filed
with pus and were swollen to three
times their natural size. Hemming-
way was sent 10 the Sedalla Railway
Hospital for treatment, where the fin
ger was amputated at the first joint.
Finding the wound would not heal,
the surgeon cut the finger again, fin
ally making twenty-nine amputations
of the member. The final operation
was performed nearly two months
ago, the hand being split from the
knuckle of the middle finger to the
wrist and the bones taken out Of the
knuckle to the wrist.
For long time Hemmingway's life
was despaired Of, the poison of the
spider bite being so thoroughly in
fused into his system that it was al
most impossible to overcome it, and
his finally recovery Is considered al
most miracle.

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-04-08

ordered Clapp to take a seat. To this
Clapp retorted by requesting Parr to
adjourn court for two minutes so that
the Judge and lawyer might be on the
same footing TO the surprise Of the
spectators Justice Parr immediately
adjourned court and, selling an iron
poker, assailed Clapp. The two men
exchanged blows, but were separated
before serious injury could be in
flicted by either. Clapp was led from
the room and Justice Parr returned to
the bench, called court to order, and
proceeded with the trial.

AT THE HOTELS.

At the Commercial yesterday, telling his troubles to himself while the electric fan cooled the crop of freck- les recently cultivated in the Santa Maria region, R. E. Toohey was inter rupted long enough to make this s.atc- ment:
 T am in town only for a day or two. I have six ten-hore teams working on my contract hauling ore from the Thorne properties to the mill, a dis tance of five miles. My own york has kept me so busy that I have not had time to examine the properties there so as to give you an intelligent story regarding them. There is a gang of men at work. There is plenty of ore, and 1 expect to be kept busy for some time to come. I shall return tomorrow, and the next time I come to town I will try to bring a budget of news for you.
 "The troubles of mining man have often been told" said P. B. McCabe, just up from the Vekol, yesterday. but it does seem to me as if mine were coming all in a bunch. First we have had all sorts of delays about ma

Why, he couldn't lift himself, let alone any one of the in struments necessary to the duties. Lift, He couldn't lift a jar of soap suds We needed an electrician. He came highly recommended from San Francisco by competent and reliable parties. All right, now, surely Start up the dynamos and let us get to doing something MT Electrician monkeyed about the apparatus for a couple of days, and we learned that h. didn't even know which tail to twis' in order to make the sparks fly. We let him out I will go to Phoenix and get an electrician, in the meantima start up the pump and get to work Started up the pump and something gave away, somewhere down below Now I want an electrician, a pump expert and goodness knows what all. s'It is queer what queer things a man will do laboring under such an agitated condition of things. Before l leaving camp, and while still excited there was manifested to me the neces- l sity of my getting a neS pair of pants I went to the store to get them. When ready to leave I discovered that I was still minus the new pair of pants. Go- | ing again to the store I learned that I had already been there three times and each time went out with new pair of pants. We had a roundup and found the articles in different parts of the camp, one pair at the dynamo another pair at the pump and the | third pair in the assay office. I ha6 no recollection of any of them.

The warrant off, cers, the boatswain, carpenter, gunner and sailmaker, have an apartment to themselves, and the chief petty officers have corner of the berth deck for their table. The marines, f1remen, pet ty officers and sailors are messed in their respective parts of the berth deck.
 The cooks are called by corporal of the guard thirty minutes before the reyeille in the morning to give them ample time to prepare the great pots. or rather pails, of coffee which are given cut, hot and steaming, directly Iafter hammocks are slowed. Coffee is made by drawing boiling water into pails containing the ground berry.
 Condensed milk and sugar are added to suit the taste of the cook himself At [ o'clock mess is piped, and the
 tables swung from the car1ine beams during the night are lowered. A strik-
 CT arranges the benches and sets the table Each sailor is furnished with d porcelain plate. cup of the same ma terial ana ar iron knife, forkr and spoon These are contributed to the
 common mess, but if the sailor shifts
 to another mess he takes his gear with
 him.
 i Breakfast is placed on the table in
 the iron pot or pans in which it has
 been cooked, and when the final call is
 sounded the men lose no time in fall l ing to. There is little opportunity for
 the exercise of courtesy or table eti- auette. Eating is business which re- quires strict attention. and conversa-- ton or repartee is left to the smoking hour which follows each meal.
