week in regard to the depot at this

ton on the agent aud the complaint
referred to was a petition signed by
the patrons of the road and sent tt
the authorities who paid no atten
tion to it, and we can only say what
we said in our letter last week, tina
the depot is not sufficient for the &C
commodation of the patrons of thu

The battery itself is a simple and not
necessarily expensive affair. but a begin

quality. When exhausted il can be re-
filed an indefinite number of times. The
two implements needed most are a
needle for removing superhuous hair
and a roller for smoothing the skin, as
well as for reducing flesh. A set of
cords viii be needed. a wrist attachment
and a holder for the needle. One Is then
ready to work In using, the wrist at

CAPITOL GUARDIAN
is FOND OF MUSIC
Elliott Woods, GeneraISSimo of the Grounds, Writes
Music While He Looks After HIS Other Work
Has Written Several Operas.

Few persons aside from his personal
friends know that Elliott Woods. Super
interdent of the Capitol Is one OF the
most talented and accomplished musi
clans III Washington
This is a side of Mr. Woods life that
has not been made known even here
where he has gained such wide disLinc-
tion through his achievements in remOc-
cling the Capitol building and arranging
for the big projects for which Congress
has appropriated thousands Of dollars.
Mr. Woods is fine violinist and
spends much OF his leisure time in en-
tertainIng himself and his personal
friends with music. He studied for
some years. and became proficient Not
only f. he an accomplished violinist and
familiar with various other instru-
ments but ne has made a study OF the
theory Of music with the result that
there are three excellent operate com
positions to his credit Two of these
have been produced by amateur orsani-
cations with much success. and with all
the time which his duties as architect
and Superintendent Of the Capitol re-
quire, ne still finds time to devote some
Of his eneroics TO music.
In this Nh Woods finds genuine pleas

certain problem of construction or re-
construction he turns 10 his music for
recreation, and in spite of the hundred
and one problems which present them
selves to him now. he never allows
himself to put his music entirely aside,
but works at his violin and compost
tions as assiduously as he ever planned
the readjustment of any part OF tbs
Capitol building.
When one is so fond Of music, or any
art. in fact, that time may be found
for 1t by a busy man ike Mr.. Woods,
then there is something To be looked for
as the result of such application.
Mr.. Woods duties just now are so
big and so numerous that one would
not suppose he had time for anything
but architectural problems.
At this time he has under way a
larger amount of important work than
has ever been undertaken at one time
BY any of his predecessors. Under his
direct supervision come the construc-
ton of the House ana Senate office
buildings. which are tremendous pro
iects, and he is soon 10 supervise a new
power plant for heating and lighting
these buildings and the Capitol.
The Washington times., 1905-07-30

Mr.. Woods has been Superintendent
of the Capitol building and grounds
since February Il, 1902, and many mil
lions of dollars have been appropriated,
by Congress since that time to be spent
under his direction. In addition to the
large amounts which are annually ap-
propriated for improvements TO the
Capitol building Mr. Woods has now
the expenditure OF more than $500, 20
for the two new Offices.
Since he became superintendent Mr
Woods has apparently had his hands
fun. He converted the old Congress
sionai Library. in the west side of the
Capitol, into one of the most attrac-
tive rooms in the big building. the in
terror of the House chamber has been
reconstructed and at the present time
many improvements are being made.
New electric lights are being put Ia
ali parts OF the building. new sieylights
are being put over the House and Senate
chambers and countless Improvements
are under way in the 43o rooras cf tie
big building.
The interior Of the Capitol is consid-
cred to be one of the most complicated
Of any building in Washington. but
every nook and corner is known 10 Mr
W o0ds- He mas spent almost twenty
years of mis- life in the Office OF the
superintendent, and IS thoroughly IA
miliar with its workings.
Several years ago when Mr Woods
had his office in the quaint and attrac-
tive little gray stone building to the
south of the Capitol. he had his own
private den IN the building and in this
was beautiful grand piano. When
lie had finished his work he would en-
tertain himself and his friends with an
impromptu musicale, and some Of the
most noted stars Of the operatic stage
are listed among his friends and have
been his guests in the quaint little
building
Mr.. Woods was married in 1886 to
