HAMPTON HOG. " 1AsHINGToS.
Standing With Asney and Against
SIemp.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. December 13.-
(SpeciaU.-J. Hampton Hoge, Republican
candidate ior Cove nor in the last cleo
ton. is in town. He is having frequent
conferences with Park Agnew and other
prominent Virginia Republicans. While
he has little to say on the subject. it is
undoubtedly true that ne is standing In
with Agnew, and is here to. try to pre-
vent the Virginia patronage from going to
Colonel SIemp. This question is growing
more acute every day. and it seems like
~ that there will be great dea! of feel
ing engendered before it is decided who
shall dispense the Federal patronage in
Virginia.

Of Norfolk. and Others The plans of all
architects were considered and finally the
two firms first named were asked to COM
blne certain feat of their plans to
meet the views of the commission. This
was done, and the composite plan thus
made was approved and adopted by the
commission. Working plans were pre-
pared and bids for the construction along
the line of the approved plan were asked.
When these bids were opened it was
found that the lowest exceeded the ap-
preparation available by about s15,oCo.
Asscrb1, Now Undccidea-
This put an end to consideration of
that plan Several other propositions
were submitted by the architects or by
members of the Senate. The Senate has
indicated it's approval Of q plan which i'll
wolves little more than tie re-rooiirg OF
the building with metal and the reno
yatiCn and fireproofnS Of the building.
The House has taken no action indicating
it's preferences in the matter Of the eN-
peudture of the appropriation, but seve-
raj Individual members are quoted as
favorable TO the construction Of an en-
tireIy new building or of the renovation
OF the present one with the addition III
the future of wings TO the east and west
as shown in the cut herewith printed. 1t
is not improbable that the House may
favor the expenditure OF SuCt sum dS VIII
put the present Capitol in q safe and at
tractive condition, and the extension
eastward and westward in future along
the lines indicated in the plan of Mr.
Tce:oles Certainly there is great interest
in the action Of the House on the matter,
which may come up in that body this
week.
In his communication to the Governor
and the commission accompanying his
Iians. Mr. PEBBLES declares that eXten
sion cf the building along the longitude
nal axis is not admissible. as it would de-
stroy the proportions of the structure.
Extension along the transverse is not
only admissible, but is the extension
which can be carried out without in any
way Interfering with or nlarrins the pres
ent building. 1t vii, disturb no lines Of
the present structure. which will be left
as it is, a central mass TO dominate the
wings.

A Remedy For Tee,ising Troubles.


Fer tecthing, Surrey mother OF
twelve" has an excellent recipe which
in her experience has never failed. At
the first symptoms the child must be
taken out early in the morning and
placed upon the back Of a donkey to
be borrowed for the occasion. Care is
required here. for the little patient
must sit exactly upon the cross on the
donkey's back and have his face to
the tail. The mother will then lead the
animal slowly forward While she re.
cites the Lords prayer, at the close Of
which she should take the baby in her
arms, kiss him and say, God bless
him." and his teething troubles will be
over.
