 The wise and good men who make the laws of England have considera- ton for the women who make chain.
 They realize that housework must be done, and that children must some how
 be looked after, and so they have been
 generous enough to allow the woman a l chance to do a mans work at the forge and at the same time to do a woman's work at home. She can work up to o'clock at night She is thus given a
 chance to earn money through the con- sideration and the generousity of the wise and good men who make the laws of England To forbid her to do at l once the work of a man and the work of woman would be to commit a

 The wages a woman can earn at | making chain are ait the most some

TO IMPROVE WASHINGTON.
Ambitious Scheme to Make the City
the Grandest in the World.

Ambitious Scheme to Make the City
the Grandest in the World.
1t is the intention to make Washing
ton both the Paris and Berlin of Amer
lea. Plans which have been considered
by Congress for making the nations cap
ital grander, more beautiful and more
splendid in every respect, call for the
expenditure of millions upon millions.
The first step in this long-looked-f
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT will be taken in earnest
when the work on the Union Railway
station is under way. This great build
ing alone will cost $2O0O0,OOO. Several
years will be occupied in It's construction.
The station will excel in size and mag
niicence anything of it's class in the
world. No railway can be barred from
its facilities. The mileage represented
will be about $1,000.
In keeping with this colossal under
taking will be the homes of the States
on National avenue. The idea is for the
United States to give q tract of land
5000 feet in length by $50 in breadth,
the frontage to be allotted proportionate-
ly to the population of the different
States, and in the order of their ad-
mission into the Union. Here each State
is to erect building. Speaker Reed
thought the idea a fine one. Presently
there will be fifty States in the Union.
The fifty State homes along National
avenue will provide fifty reading rooms,
fifty writing rooms, fifty sets of home
newspapers, fifty bureaus of information,
fifty halls of social converse, fifty places
for business appointments, fifty trysting
places for sweethearts, fifty public COM
forts There will be $50 seats in each
home, accommodating all told 12,500 Wis.,
itors ut a time.
Each home will be provided with spa
cious galleries, or balconies, from which
great public functions may be viewed.
These will give ample room for $4,000
visitors from all over the country to
witness the Inauguration in comfort-to
see it, so to speak, from their own DOORS
There would be some fifty acres in gall
leries and open courts.
Designs have already been submitted
to Congress for a National Pavilion, adj
jacent to the homes of the States in Ma
tional avenue, to contain open-air and
covered halls, restaurants, apartments
and roof garden. II is largely of glass;
with easements to be closed for warmth
In winter and open for pure air in sum-
mer through Venetian blinds.
Other proposed improvements contem-
plate new park, a new White House
and terrace gardens and broad boule-
wards along the Potomac. A national
Hall of Fame Is also among the pr1-
posed changes.

FOUND DEAD
A Strange Mexican Six Miles West of
the City.

\ Mexican was found dead on the
Yuma road about six miles west of the
city early yesterday morning. The
body Of the man was found by Nh
Mcclellan who notified the authorities
here and Justice Burnett impaneled a
jury consisting of the following; H. c..
Mcdonald Victor r. Norris, II. L..
George. Oscar Roberts Thomas Boyle
and 1. Gooding.
1t was learned that the Mexican who
las not been identified yet came into
the neighborhood where he was found
dead some time on Sunday afternoon
He was riding a black pony without
any mark or brand. He dismOunted
and turned the pony loose in the road
and lay down under a tree. Nobody
paid any attention to his movements
but it was noticed later that the pony
had been picketed. Still later it was
noticed that the Mexican had changed
his position under the tree and, was
lying on his back with his hat over his
face When he was found yesterday
morning he was lying on his face dead.
The jury examined the body and could
find no bruise or other mark of vlo-
Ience. The cause of death could not be
determined without an autopsy but the
jury having satisfied itself that death
had not resulted from an accident re-
turned Il verdict of natural causes.
The Mexican was apparently about
thirty-five years old.
There were found in his pockets Il
