An Exclusive Elevator.

There is perhaps no elevator in the
world more exclusive than hat provid-
ed at the capitol for the supreme court
Of the United States. That elevator
can be used by exactly eleven people,
and no one else would for a moment
consider entering it except as the guest
of one of these eleven privileged gentle
men. The fortunate eleven are the nine
justices of the United States supreme
court, the clerk and the marshal of the
court. The elevator goes from the
ground floor of the capitol to the main
floor, on which is located the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is 9
small elevator, so that, with its ON
ductor, three portly forms of justices
of the supreme court of the United
States would fill it. 1t is one of the
very latest designs of electric elevators
