A special work which has been done
during the last recess of congress is the
restoration of the crypt. 1t is an inter

crypt was To have been the repository for
the remains of Washington. \ PROPOSE

Washington and accepted. Later she de-
termined that her husband should lie at
Mount Vernon. Some years ago, when
the library of congress began TO overflow
its narrow quarters, space was sought
in the capitol for the newspaper files and
for the collection presented 10 the library
by DIR. Joseph NJ. Jones. In default of

$4,000 YEARLY REPAIRS
The Amount Uncle Sam Pays to
Keep Capitol in Condition.
IMPROVEMENTS COSTLY
Congress Has Appropriated Much to
Revolutionize Ventilation and Il
Elimination in the White
House Building.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-1t costs $780, 600 a
year to maintain Uncle Sans Sli, 900 600
building on Capitol hill. That is the
amount which congress allows every year
for mechanics and laborers, for brushes
and hardware and lumber for tiles and
CRATE bars and all the other supplies nee
essary to keep the capitol In repair
For improvements congress has appro-
priated an average of S25. 900 year in the
10 years just past, and much of that has
been spent in the last i months. Fifty
five thousand dollars has been used to
transform the senate's system of ventila-
ton and $4,000 to introduce electric light
i'm the building and grounds. For the cur
rent year other changes and improve
ments are planned, but they depend on
the liberality of congress.
There is always something unfinished
about the capitol. A few years ago the
most noticeable incompleteness was in the
terrace on the west front of the building
That is completed now, but the painter =
ugly scaffold hanging in the rotunda
draws attention TO the still unfinished
Brumidi frieze. and in the basement of

them to their original condition. Mr..

Nearly all diseases result from deep
seated Impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med

The facilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal.nutritiou can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like DIR. Pierce s

PROGRESSIVE SUNSET DISTRICT Street Grading With an Abundance
 of Water and Lights Promised.

condition of general progress has lately seized the Sunset district.
 From reports received by the improve ment club through its executive commit tee of which Edward Ewald Is the chair man, Ninth avenue, from K to street, has been ordered graded and macadam- ized. When this and a few other streets running in parallel lines are put in con- dition the Spring Valley Water Company will proceed to lay its mains for the sup plying of water to the residents. Follow ing in the wake of this the Supervisors have promised to have the valley supplied with electric lights after the 1st of next August
 The work on the electric road over which the old steam dummies had been running for the last ten years is progress ing rapidly to a finish and will be in run ming order by the 1st of June. When this service Is inaugurated the cars will run every ten minutes from the ferry to the ocean via Fillmore, Frederick and H of this line painted a light blue color, emblematic of the blue waters of the great ocean to which they will convey the public over a most picturesque route.
 With this advancement on the more eastern boundary of the valley steps are avenue from the base of Strawberry hill to the Balboa boulevard and eventually into the Ingleside roadway.
 The electric lights lately placed in Gold en Gate Park by the Commissioners have given great satisfaction to the Sunset residents.
 The sewers for which the people have been contending so long are in @ fair way to be in working order inside of a few weeks now This will undoubtedly give ting the district into a handsome subur- ban place of residence.
