POSSIBLE CAPITOL CHANGES.

Outline of Plans Proposed By Carers
* Hastings and Under Confederation.
The incisive Senator Roscoe Conk-
ling more than once remarked that the
Capitol was "a dome with q building
under II. Instead Of building with a
dome upon it." and 1t Is mainly this
effect which Messrs. Carrere & Hast
ings seek to correct in their arrange
ment of the east front. Unhampered
by considerations of space, they ara
able to approach the problem on strict
ly architectural grounds. While fol-
lowing in a certain measure the more
feasible OF Walters suggestions, they
have exercised greater restraint, and
have displayed a deeper regard for the
accepted appearance Of the building.
The plan which they favor, and which
It is hoped may be adopted. shows "a
little change as possible in the compo-
sition Of the facade. In detail their
scheme consists In moving the front
Of the old structure only far enough
forward to bring the main wall at its
center under the extreme projection of
the dome, which now overhangs the
wall and seems to repose on the por-
tico. In order to accomplish this, II
wiz be necessary to extend the wall
twelve feet ten inches In an easterly
direction
The additional space thus acquired,
while It will not be great will never
thelsss prove OF advantage. On the
main floor. to the east OF Statuary
Hall, a series OF slcoves will be created
which can serve for the further stor-
egs Of documents; and east OF the su-
preme Court there will be CORE
spoding series OF slcoves for roblng-
rooms for the judges In the basement
and on the door above like increase
In space will be afrorded-that In the
basement being particularly welcome
to the congested law library, which Is
directly under the Supreme Court.
This projection Of its eastern wall will
also give, in the central section of the
building on each side OF the main en-
trance, two rooms with windows
opening on the portico, making, for the
three stories. twelve rooms In all. Fol-
lowing Walters prior suggestion, It Ia
the intention Of the consulting archi-
tects to add, at the same time, one COL
umn on each side Of the main psdi-
ment thus broadening the pedimsnt 20
that II may dominate, instead Of being
dwarfed by, the pediments OF the SEN
ate and House wings.-Century.

Perhaps the greatest drawback to
the establishment Of an aristocracy
in America, aside from the absence
of hereditary nobility, has been
the comparative ease with which the
poor could emulate the manners,
customs and styles" of the rich. 1t
seemed impossible to establish any
form of entertainment or any style
of garmenture that the common peo-
pie, aided and abetted by enterpris-
ing manufacturers, could not copy,
on cheap scale, naturally, but suf-
ficiently like the original to break
down distinction. But at last our
moneyed aristocrats have learned a
way to circumvent their ill-to-do i'm
itators, and, strange to say, money is
not the means employed. A very
simple formula solved the problem.
It is this-make everything that is
fashionable exceedingly uncomfort-
able. The poor will not dare follow,
for they love their ease. The fash
ionable set of New York has taken
to early rising, getting up to attend
functions at 5 o'clock in The morning.
The common people absolutely re-,
fuse to be uncomfortable. So the
line is finally drawn and so long as
the fashionable set ia content to
mortify the flesh it may be exclusive.
