The members OF Congress were anything
brt pleased with their new abiding place
"The comparison they drew between this
place and Philadelphia" wrote pioneer
resident, twas by no means compliment
airy to u.s. At this time there were but
:ew places in the city suitable for mem
bers 10 board at. Some of them went TO
Georgetown and boarded at the Union
Tavern, some stopped al the Six and Sew
en buildings, and others in parts OF the
city where they could find accommodaE
tons. The discomfort which prevailed
among them was so great that ii was
feared that the seat of government WoulC
be removed from Washington. In fact, l
believe the attempt was made, but tar-
tunately failed"
Salaries Low and Living Cheap.
The salary Of a Member of Congress
was then but Sc a day. OF the houses 1t
was written in 1900: 1.-The few that have
been let are at rents none under $3.50 and
$500. Provisions are plenty, good enough,
and cheaper than in Philadelphia. You
can buy peck of field strawberries for
a fivepenny bit; garden at IL cents
quart"
The Supreme Court OF the United
States, seeing that no preparation had
been made for il in Washington, contin-
ued to meet in its comfortable Philadei-
phia quarters until February 2, 1901. Its
members. like those of Congress, were
loath to begin their duties. Two adjourn
ments had to be taken before there ap-
peared, on February 4, a sufficient num-
Der to do business. The first meeting was
held in the basement of the old Capitol, in
rooms provided for one of the Senate
committees.
The faster the population of Washing
ton grew during this first eventful year
the more bitter and caustic became the
| inveetives of her critics.
"City Of VI gnificeni Distances"
Georgetown was called "a city of
houses without Streets" Washington, "a
city of streets without houses" The Alb
be Correa de Sierra, Portuguese Minister,
was speaking in sarcasm when ne called
the new capital "a city of magnificent
distances" now proudly applied. ''Strang-
ers, after visiting the offices OF state, are
apt to inquire for the city while in its
very center" wrote c. W. Janson, an
English visitor. Quail and other birds, -
said he, ''are constantly shot within a
/ hundred yards of the Capitol during the
sitting Of the Houses of Congress-" New
York, Philadelphia, New England, and,
indeed, even foreign newspapers, waxed
facetious in their descriptions of the new
seat of government In fact, poor Wash
ington was the laughing stock of the
world. Tom Moore, just entering poetic
fame, visited the city in 1904. Its specta-
Gle provoked this satire from his pen:

the arrest of c. L. C-aiglow, to whom
she said she waG engaged to be mar

declared, her pocket book containing
$40 and the check for her trunk. The

making love to her for quite awhile;
that he finally asked her for her hand
in marriage and she accepted him.
They went to Davenport yesterday to
have the knot tied. The arrangement
was to take a short wedding trip. She
says Craiglow took her TO a hotel,
leaving her there while he went out
ostensibly to complete the details for
the performance of the wedding cere-

intrusted him with her purse. She
waited and waited. But he failed to
