This is the story of a Beautiful Mar
BILE Bath Tub, says the Washington
Post.
And where. gentle reader, do you
suppose this bath tub is It's a thous-
and to one that you could not guess in
a Xear. 1t is in the bathroom of the
House of Representatives. Upstairs,
in the hearing of the public and sinre
their words are taken down by accurate
reporters, the representatives of the
people talk economy and retrenchment
and reform. The Watch DOES" lop-
ping off a clerks salary here I'D some
stationery there, preach the delights of
saving the government money. And
then these same representatives re-
scend to the lower regions of the capt.
tai and battle their shapely forms in a
marble tub.
1t is really Beautiful Tub Common,
ordinary American marble isn't good
enough for the tub or for the room in
which it has Just been located. The
walls of the bathroom are lined with
the finest English vein Italian import
ed marble, soft grayish-white in col
or and ornamented with dark streaks
AS the walls We're of this handsome
stone, the tub had to be made of the
same material to harmonic. CoRse-
quently an order was given for a fine
large, solid block of marble. mag
niiicent specimen was selected abroad
and trimmed by machinery into proper
form. The interior of the Beautiful
Tub was followed out by hand labor,
and when it had been hewn into shane
to accommodate the Congressional per-
son, it was polished until it shone like
mirror. Some idea of the massive
ness OF this Beautiful Tub can be
gathered from the fact that it weighs
$500 pounds, or about three tons. There
isn't anything like it in Washington.
The tub is now being used, although
as a matter of fact, the marble flooring
around 1t is still torn up, the plumb
ers not having yet finished their work.
There was the greatest difficulty in
putting it in place because the work.
men were afraid of scratching the mir
rOr-like polish. Already several hum
dred dollars has been spent on the
Beautiful Tub, and the expense of the
room, with its marble walls and hand
some plumbing, will be considerably
over $1,000.
While the Beautiful Tub is on the
House side and is used by the repre-
sentatives of the people, the fact is that
its chief devotees are senators. The
House bath tubs are much handsomer
and newer than the Senate's and they
are also larger being made to order,
and cost a great deal of money. But
they We're not good enough. Only a
marble tub would do. 1t has taken
considerable time and expense to get
the tub, for the marble had to be i'm
ported and much tedious labor done,
the following of the interior by hand
alone occupying several weeks. But
now the Beautiful Tub is in place.
Within its comfortable embrace the
sybarite senators and the luxurious
representatives can battle as did the
Romans when their empire was in its
highest glory. And when they have
experienced all the joys of the marble
tub. they can be rubbed down with
great handfuls of rum, as they are, and
then they can go forth to pose as
statesmen.
Altogether. this Beautiful Marble
Tub is "A great thing. II is an annex
to the House which is likely to become
famous.

South Carolina that Lieut.. Gov. James

PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA PROB


For the first time since the war in
| South Africa began there are good rea-
sons for thinking that peace is in sight
There have been times when it was
! thought the Beers were near the end of
their resources. and that they would
have TO surrender, but there was moth
ing from those in authority on either
side that justified the conclusion that
the war was near its end.
In our dispatches yesterday Gen. Lu-
cas- Meyer, the commander of the Or
range Free State forces. was quoted as
saying in a dispatch to his wife. who
is in England. that he thought the
war was about over, and there were
extracts from a speech of Lord Sails
bury, the British Premier, delivered in
London on Wednesday. in which the
impression was conveyed that the
peace negotiations, which have been
going on for a couple of weeks or so.
would result favorably Premier Sails
bury's remarks were of a very optimis-
tic character. There is no doubt that
he intended 10 convey the impression
that the end of the war was in sight
lie was careful to convey the i'm
preston that the British had made no
concessions that could be interpreted
to mean that they yielded any of their
demands. In fact, he said that the set
tlement would be on the lines laid down
by the British at the very beginning
of he In, h. Of ,f
marks he said: LAS to rights we
claimed and the policy we intended to
pursue. we are exactly where we were"
Further along in his remarks he init
mated clearly that it was the purpose
of Great Britain to have such a settle
ment as would place it out of the power
of the Beers to make the issues again
that brought about the present war.
There hasn't been a time during the
two years and seven months which the
South African conflict has been in
progress when there was much DOUBT
as to what the outcome of the war
would be. 1t was a physical impos-
sibility for the Beers to contend sue
cessfully against the British empire.
The Beers have made a fight that has
excited fhe admiration of the entire
world. A few thousand raw soldiers
have successfully withstood for more
than two years the mightiest military
force Great Britain has ever sent from
her shores. The Beers have made a
place for themselves in history that
will be read with thrilling interest ages
hence.
1t is hardly probable that there will
be interference in the war by any out
side power. in view of its probable
early ending. A delegation of Beers
was given a hearing by sub-com-
mittee of the House on Monday last,
and a strong appeal was made for con-
gressional action of some sort in sup
port of the Beers. DR.. Hexamer, pres
ident of the German National Alliance,
said that if Congress refused to take
notice of this appeal of the Beers the
Republican party would lose 100000
votes at the next national election. He
wanted it understood that he did not
not probable, however that Congress
will do anything. 1t doesn't want to
offend Great Britain, and. besides. it is
doubtful if a simple resolution of sym
pathy at this time would be of any ben
eft to the Beers.

The Agricultural Appropriation bill
carries an appropriation of 500, 900 for
a congressional distribution of vege-
table and flower seeds, and $4,000 for
experimental work in the interest of

purposes. and the seeds themselves are
often of no value whatever Good

shall be bestowed impartially and
without regard to race or color.

The New Profession Of Forestry.

.3.t3.-&.a
The rapid growth Of a bureau in
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington devoted exclusively
to forestry signifies the opening
of new career to American youth.
Such a bureau would never have
been established had there not
been a distinct demand on the part
of industrial interests for scientific
leadership in this important field.
This demand in itself indicates
recognized need. We are using
up, every year, more timber than
our forests are yielding, and the fu.
ture supply has become an eco
nomic problem of the gravest
character. AT the present moment,
while the annual consumption is
increasing, the annual production
is just as steadily decreasing. This
is the situation that the nation is
now facing, and the work of the
Bureau of Forestry has been Or
ganized not a moment too soon.
Systematic forestry on a large
scale means, among other things,
the evolution of a distinct calling,
or profession. and it is with this
phase of the subject that Mr.. j.
Russell Smith is chiefly concerned
in an article that he contributes to
the Forum for May.
