On each of three sides of the central

In front the place for the central Of

On a ledge at the bottom of this shaft
is circular column 40 or 80 feet high,
surmounted by globe, upon which rests
the American eagle.
The national bird is very much in evil

Although the work now is confined en-
tirely to the interior and to the roof, there

ideas that he does not fall TO express for
the benent Of any who may be willing 10

Wagons heavily laden with old material
and trash are being driven from the inside
OF the building and as fast as the dirt is
accumulated il is carted away All the old
windows doors. staircZses. uautels. fOun-
tains and such articles as may be used in
