The whispering BdileIy VI '"S W.
hall of representatives In the national CAP
itol, now known as Statuary hall, mas long
been an object Of interest and to the I'M
itiated of curiosity. In an apparent erratic
manner hut with actual mathematical ac-
curacy. the voice of a speaker, even when
uttered in a whisper, echoes with remark
able distinctness from one place to an
other and a person standing in the gal
lery on the extreme east may express a
whispered remark, audible only at the op-
posite side of the chamber 10 feet away.
From a scientific standpoint this phenom-
enon may be easily explained. The cham
Der is in the form Of a quarter of a sphere
the center of which would come five or six
feet below the floor. Sound waves pro-
jected against the spherical ceiling re-
bound as a billiard ball caTroms.
While this popularity is interesting and
curious. IL always seriously interfered with
the use of the chamber for legislative pur-
poses and numerous eXpedients were re-
sorted to with the hope OF remedying 1t.
At one time a canvas false ceiling was
stretched across the room and the obiec-
tionable acoustic properties of the hall
were destroyed. In recent renOvations the
old wooden ceiling has been replaced with
ireproof construction, but the echoes may
still be heard. When the chamber was
renovated last summer, in painting the
columns to resemble marble the artist
worked into the marketing excellent like
nesses Of Presidents Mckinley and Roose-
welt, but their presence, in form similar
to the newspaper picture puzzle, was
deemed inappropriate and they were sub
sequently removed. Although not gen.
orally known, there are many curious pic
lures in the real marble columns OF Stat
uary hall which cannot be removed. fol
they are in the natural veins of the mar
BILE, which is known as pudding stone. Al
Indian, a deer, a girls head and some EN-
blems are clearly discernible once they
have been pointed out.
There are other echoes in the caDitOl
notably in the supreme court room and the
various committee rooms and even in tn,
rotunda. but they can be heard only wher
perfect quiet prevails.

BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor scenes aud Incidents sketched
on the spot.

When Theodore Roosevelt became chief
executive fourteen months ago the little
church in Washington in which he was a
worshiper while assistant secretary OF the
navy at once rose to the dignity of the
presidents church, The unexpected honor
also swelled the congregation beyond the
capacity Of the little building and the
erection of a more commodious house OF
worship became a necessity. As soon as
the project was announced money began
to POUR in. In a few months the corner
stone was laid and the building will be
ready for occupancy early next spring. 1t
is named Grace Memorial Reformed church.
The congregation will be the same as that
with which the president now worships,
the new edihce being erected as a direct
consequence Of the president becoming q
member. Theodore Roosevelt is the second
president Of the United States who has be-
longed to the Dutch Reformed church,
Martin Van Buren, having been likewise a
member OF that communion. There have
been eight Episcopal presidents, six Presby-
terians and ~three-Grant, Hayes and Nc
Kinley-Methodist. Garfield was one of the
founders of the Vermont Avenue Christian
church, in Washington, from whose pulpit
he sometimes preached while he was a rep
resentative in congress. He was known in
that body as a 'lay preacher and after
his death the Garfield Memorial church was
dedicated in his honor.

Mrs. Roosevelt has given much Of her
time since returning to Washington to
looking over the linen, china, silver and
glassware which belong to the White House.
She had hoped that the new china which
she ordered would arrive for the cabinet
dinner on December IS, but there now seems
to be some doubt on that score, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun.
Another matter Of housekeeping to which
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt have had
to give their attention since their return
is the silverware for table use, and thanks
to the lavishness of former presidents and
the durability of the silver bought only
the merest trifes are necessary to COM
plete a supply equal to even the demands of
President Roosevelt's strenuous hospitality.
The greatest treasure in the silver room is
a little oaken trunk, bound with iron and
bearing upon the brass plate the name
James Monroe" In this trunk, during
the Monroe administration much of the
small tableware, If not the entire White
House collection, was stored. There are
three other quaint silver trunks called the
de Tuyll trunks" two of them are num-
bered mo. l" and mo. g" They are
wooden trunks, covered with leather and
bound with iron. No. 1 is marked IN. lie
Baron De Tuyll," and has upon it a shield
bearing in the center a large C. The
inscription "No. Pm. lie Baron de Tuyll,"
is upon another, and simply the name upon
a third.
There are nearly 1000 forks of solid
silver and 300 plated ones of all sizes and
kinds, an assortment of over $50 knives,
and more than 200 solid silver spoons and
300 plated ones. There is an abundance
Of odd silver in soup t%ureens, butter dishes,
platters, plates, pitchers, teapots, coffee
pots, candle shutters, napkin rings, pep
pers and salts, sauce boats, and, in tact'
everything most useful to the most freak
ish ware imaginable.
There is in addition to this a silver ship,
representing the Mayfower, and a silver
hound mirror for 1t to stand upon, both
of which were bought at the Philadelphia
Centennial Of 1876, and a huge plateau OF
French gilt and plate glass used at state
dinners. when thirty-six beautiful French
gilt figures are used with it. There is an
ample supply of beautiful glassware and
little will be added.

Roosevelt Tells Congressman He Pleased With Measure With
Some Minor Changes, Which Will Be Mads-State /.
Control Features Remain

sentative Sutherland called attention
to the fact that in Utah farmers have
homes in villages and town and do not
personally reside upon lands farmed.
The president recognized the force of
this objection and agreed it would be
sufficient if the bill provided that the
owners and occupants Of the land re-

Mr.. Maxwell opposed TIE clause Of
the bill providing for state control of
the appropriation and distribution of
waters made available by the proposed
act
The president informed the delega-
ton that he had not said he would
veto the bill if it contained a state
control provision, and that his only
wish in the matter is to assist in the
preparation of irrigation legislation
which viii command the support of the
irrigation people and of which he could
earnestly urge the passage.
The house irrigation committee viii
hold a special meeting Saturday, and
it is expected, will report the bill which
passed the senate, with notifications
to conform to the presidents wishes
These viii involve changes in sections
and 4 in reference to the manner o.
withdrawing lands from entry, and res
idence conditions of users of water
Section viii also be modified, but the
essential provisions for state control
viii be retained.
Representative Mondell, who has
charge Of the bill in the house, has a
promise from mebers Of the committee
on rules that opportunity viii be given
for discussion of the measure and for
a vote in the house as soon as prac-
ticable after it has been reported.

Mondell Of Wyoming, President
Roosevelt today held a conference on
the irrigation bill with Representatives
Monden, Sutherland, Tongue, Newlands
ana RirreiI o. the house irrigation COM
mittee, and Representative Metcaif of
California, Senator Dietrich Of Nebras-
ka, George H. Maxwell and Professor
Pinchot.
Objections had been made by Max
well and others to the provisions of the
irrigation bin providing for state con-
troll and for the manner Of withdrawal
of public lands from entry to be irri-
gated at government expense. At the
conference Mr.. MOndell reviewed the
work Of the committee of seventeen
and by the house and senate commit
tees, and quoted the irrigation plank
of the Republican national convention
and the portion of President ROOse-
velt's message relating to state con-
troll, contending that the bill as framed
was not inconsistent on this point with
the party declaration and the pTesi-
dents recommendation.
It was discovered at the conference
that, so far as the president was con-
cerned, the questions raised were
brought UP as 70 the meaning of Ian
guage of the bill rather than any rad
ical difference of views as to the prin-
ciples involved. The president thought
the bill should contain a provision re-
curing that persons acquiring water
from government reservoirs should re-
side upon the land irrigated. Repre-
