In a boat and remained on the steamer,
going down with her and saving nIs
own life through the greatest eXer'
tious. But all this does not offset the
fact that he was asleep 10 the early
morning hours while fog was pre-
vailIne and was awakened by the force
of the collision. Had he been 81 nis

1Vould have been in position to pre-

ALWAYS awake during iogs. 1t Will De
remembered that when the ill'isteo
steamship Atlantic struck on rocks
while attempting to enter the haroor Of

CEILING IN STATUARY HALL
When Congress meets on Monday 1t is
expected that Ststuary Hail will once
more resume its old-time look, with
the exception of having q new ceiling
and roof. The work OF reroohng the
hall has been 10 progress since last
summer and has just been completed.
Yesterday men we're engaged in re-
moving the scsfiolding from the in-
terror, aud by Monday the statuary
which has been admired by thousands
upon thousands of visitors to the Ma
tional Capitol will again appear In its
normal condition.
Whether or not the new roof will
have destroyed the echo for which
Sla.uary Hall was famed far and vide
will not be known until the hall is
restored to Its former appearance.
The new ceiling is in panels, the
designs being executed in plaster re-
lief work. The old ceiling was
smooth, the ornamenta.ion being in

the correct thing. Recently meeting OF the

ing uniformity OF taxation and that report
was adopted. The plan proposed presented

insson plan Of taxation IS is now in force In
that city. But the gentlemen refortsd to
who evidently knew really little about the
Washington plan which they proposed intro
ducing in this city, will be somewhat con-
founded whom they learn what is thought In
Washington about the Washington plan Of
taxation. At = conferences, held ct the Capt.

Senate and House District committees, ssns.
