SEEN IN OTHER DAYS,
VETERAN 5DooRkEEPER OF HOUSE
BECOMES RETROSPECTIVE.
WITNESSED CAPITOL CRASH
How n Lame Man Saved His Life
Unuidcd By Ills Crutches-Famous
Men Captain sullivan Knew In
the Good Old Time.

Captain Arthur Q. Sullivan, the vete-
ran doorkeeper Of the House OF Dele
gates of Virginia, has been connected
with the House in that capacity since
1869 with the exception Of two terms,
those of 1s79-90 and 1Ss1-2, when the Re
adiusters controlled that body.
Few men of to-day know more pro-
minent sVirginians Of this and preceding
generations than this modest, lovable.
one legged Confederate soldier. His. long
service has given him opportunity to
know these men more or less Intimately.
Few survive who were members OF the
House when Mr.. Sullivan's service be-
gan, and of the survivors and those who
have answered their last earthly roll call
many rose to positions of eninence IN
the service of the State or had already
represented the Commonwealth with DIS
tinction and ability in the field OF battle
or in the forum.
In. a reminiscent mood the other night
Captain Sullivan talked entertalnlngly
. of the old days and Of the men he mad
known in the early seventies as mem
bers of the House. Hon. John w. Dan
iel, now senior United States Senator
from Virginia, was serving in the House
of Delegates in 1S69-70 representing
Lynchburg and Campbell. He after
wards served in the Senate and later
was nominat ted and defeated for Gov
ernor. but soon afterwards elected to
the House of Representatives, and after
one term there was elevated by the body
in which he had formerly served to a
seat in the Federal Senate, which he has
held ever since. The late Senator Harrl-
son H Riddleberger was many years
ago member of the House and was
then elected to the Federal Senate.
MANY other prominent Virginians have
served in, the House during Captain Sui
alivan's incunlbency as doorkeeper, just
few Of whom he recalled while talking
Of old times. Among them may be men

AGENT STUDIES GEOGRAPHY.
Revenue Office In a State Of Glorious

Uncertainty.
The Office of revenue agent at the Gus
tom-House is in an uncertain and unset
tied state. When asked for something
concerning his p1a, Colonel Thrasher,
the new agent, said he had nothing to
say at present. He is awaiting instruc-
ticrs from Washington, and until these
come he is at sea. The Office room which.
he occupies on the second floor of the
Federal building belongs to the United
States Attorneys Office, and will have to
be resigned to him for the occupancy of
his assistant and the other attaches OF
the Office. 1t is understood that there is
no vacant room in the Federal building
at present to which the revenue agent
may be removed, and unless the govern
ment sees proper to rent a place outside,
the office seems to be in some danger OF
removal from Richmond, presumably to
Lynchburg or Roanoke.
Some year and a half ago the offlce-was
moved here from Lynchburg, in order to
bring the revenue agent and the revenue
collector whose businesses are intimately
connected with each other, close together.
This question of proximity to the collector
continues to be a strong reason for keep
ing the office here.
However, Colonel Thrasher says he
knows nothing of the purposes. of the
Commissioner of Revenues and he is
averse to making any guesses Instruc-
tons may be received at any moment,
and whatever they may be, it will be
his duty to simply obey them
In the meantime he is famliarizing him.
self with the details of the office, and
studying the geography of Virginia, which
he finds interesting.
