THE LAST OF CHARLEY NOW,
One of the Last of Old Drury Lanes
Fragments to Disappear.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

LONDON, October ), 1901
When the destruction Of the ancient
Barley Now" public house, now in pro-
gress, is finished one of the last fragments
of Drury lane as it was in the good old
days will have disappeared. This ancient
tavern, forced now to make way for pro-
spective model dwellings" and other mu-
nicipal improvements, dates back to The
sixteenth century. When it was first built
Its name was more in keeping with its sur
roundings than it is now, for in those DAYS
the lane was a lane and there were
broad meadows on each side of it, instead
of faded shops and dingy lodging houses.
Probably little history was made in the
Barley Now" itself-although it was the
scene OF many an orgy of the Duke of
Mariboroughs registering swashbucklers
and of their successors-but material for
whole pages was for many year to be
gathered in its neighborhood. Near by in
the sixteen hundreds, stood the house of
the Earl of Craven, hero of many a con-
tlnental campaign, who was knighted by
Gustavus Adolphus as he lay in his blood
beneath the walls of Creutznach. In the
lane, too. lived the Earl of Aylesbury, the
Earl of Stirling and the Marquis of Argyll.
Where now the coster clatters down from
Covent Garden market with his donkey and
MS load of cheap vegetables then passed
many a stately coach on its way to the
Kings and the Phoenix Theater Often.

Improvements in Progress at the

SCENES OF CTIVITY

BROWN and muscle are having their in
ring at the Capitol. During the coming six
weeks which intervene before the opening
OF Congress the activity of the 800 work
men engaged IN making the big-domed
structure fit for the reception of the coun-
try's statesmen Will equal any highland
day legislative hustle ever exhibited by an
expiring Congress To predict that the
work can all be completed in time would
also seem as difficult as making prophecies
regarding the ability Of a Congress to clear
Up its legislative debris In the same period
OF time before the close of a session
1t has been many years since the Capitol
presented as forlOrn an interior and exte-
rior. Everything seems to be out of it's
proper place. The bills that could not be

piles in the corridors of the Senate wing.

sight in all directions. while painters scat

Nevertheless there is a serene though
.ery busy individual who will tell You IL
You are fortunate enough to intercept him
in MS rapid flights from one section of the
Work 10 another that everything will be In
readiness when IL Is time for the Fifty
seventh Congress to assemble. This indi-
sldual Is Mr.. Elliott Woods, acting archi-
tect OF the Capitol, and il is perhaps with
pardonable pride that he points out the
many architectural improvements which
are now nearing completion in all parts of
the great building.

marble, with marble panelings on the sides,
making II the most attractive interior
stairway in the building. The floor
around the air shaft north of the rotunda,
through which that section. of the Capitol
was formerly heated, has been relaid in
mosaic. The two huge open-air shafts on
each side of the new conference committee
room, which forms the center of the new
construction, have been walled with white
glazed brick. Two new elevators have
been placed for the use of representa- tiyes
and senator's in the new section, and the
tWenty-elght rooms forming this addition
10 the committee space of Congress will
virtually form colony by itself.
Work on the Roof.
The roof work of the Capitol is one Of
the important improvements and is costing
more money than any other one section of
the architectural changes There is at this
time grave doubt. however, whether this
work will all be completed before Congress
ccnVenes. The delay is on account of the
Iallure OF the contractors for the structural
iron work to fill their contracts Architect
Woods has very large file of letters from
the American Bridge Company, which has
the contract for this work, making excuses
Tor the delay. The steel strike is made to
pear the pulk OF the burden in this line.
Penalties on the time stipulation of the
contract are accruing every day now, and
sun the IRON work necessary for the re-roof-
ing OF statuary hall is not in sight.
A novel way to obtain evidence regarding
the progress Of this work is being carried
on by Mr.. Woods in this connection. He
mas oally photographs taken, showing the
progress OF the work. The work on the
Supreme Court roof is faxthest along and
as all the material is at shand for it's COM
pietion, the chamber will doubtless be
reaoy Tor occupancy blythe last week in
most interesting part of the work in
this connection is the manner in which the
contractors have undertaken to reproduce
the ceiling of the Supreme Court chamber.
10 DO this the ceiling was removed in sec
tlons Each section was carefully pre-
served intact. Two little work shops were
constructed on the ground adjacent to the
chamber, and In these shops the sections of
ceitng were used as models and plaster
casts made of them. 1t is expected that
when these casts are fitted in place the re-
suit Will be the desired reproduction. How
ever, the superstructure Of the roof is of
iron this time instead of timber, and the
work of reproducing the general contour
mas also been matter of considerable
architectural maneuvering.
There Is as yet only temporary roof
over the new committee rooms, and when
this part of the structure is completed an
other moor Will be added for which as yet
no use has been designated This space will
extend over the entire western, portion of
the central section of the building and both
senators and representatives have suggested
that this would be an ideal place to place
the House and Senate restaurants in one
magnificent establishment.

dun" by day Jared badly there. ana no
doubt the host of Barley Now" often
wrung his hands over the departure of the
good old days.
But Drury lane is to be a slum no more.
As "congested area" IL is being swept
out of existence. The great new street
from the Strand TO it's sister thoroughfsre
Holborn, will sweep right through the dis
trict, and when the London county coun-
CHS model dwellings" have replaced the
novels which are now being torn down the
name of "D-ury lane" will cease forever to
