Superintendent Elliott Woods, Of the

statuary hau, that Mecca of visitors TO
the Capitol restored to the old stone
finish. The retunda of the Capitol has
already been restored To that finish. and
il is found that the sandstone gives an
excellent background for marble stat
uary.
Mr.. Woods general purpose is TO re-
store the building in its old parts TO the
style in which it stood when Bulhnch
left it, in 1875. The stretch of corridor
north from the iOunda seems to be
principally of stone and tha purpose is
10 restore this TO the stone finish as - ell
as statuary hau.
II is also planned to remove the paint
from the great series Of old Doric col
unns that support the rotunda floor as
well as the projecting pieces.
May Open Up Gallery.
Another interesting Improvement Mr.
Woods has in mind is To open up the
gallery part of statuary hall This will
n'cessitate opening the old circular
stone stairs that lead 10 the gallery.

tons is to come that of placing val
uations on the railroads, telephone

life, the sad event occurring on
Monday morning, April 80, 1906,
when her lifeless body was found in

The members of the family are al
most Frustrated over the unfortun-
ate occurrence and are at a loss to
know Just how it happened The
old lady had been deranged for sew
eral weeks, and while it was feared
that she might die at any time from
natural causes, the family had not
the least idea that she would ever at
temptto take her own life
Mrs. McKittrick was able to be
about the house part of the time, but
it was her custom to remain in her
room until late in the forenoon. The
members of the family were about

M GEORGE WRITES
OF EARTHQUAKE

D: W. McGeorge il, in receipt Of
the following interesting letter from
ms brother, j. r McGeorge, resid-
ing in, California, which gives addi-
tional information concerning per-
sonal experiences in the San Fran
cisco disaster:
Eureka, Cal, April "A, 1906.
D. W. McGeorge,
Clarksburg, W. Va.
Dear Brother-I wrote YOU a let
ter last Sunday. I may repeat some
of it in this. We had not heard
from Edith after the quake up to
that time, and nothing from her at
all until yesterday. She came home
on the regular steamer. She had
been writing and telegraphing al.
most every day, but nothing got
through. She had quite an expert
ence. She was at Stanford Uniyer-
sity. One hundrad and twenty girls
lived in three-story building on the
grounds called Roble Hall. The
building did not fall, but two large
chimneys in it fell>clear through 10
the ground. She jumped out Of bed
and took her companion with her
and was down in the lower story be-
fore the shock was over. The uni
versity was badly damaged. The
boys building, the chimneys and
floors came down and left the walls
standing. The big arch over 100
feet high fell fiat. The Chapel, the
finest thing of the kind in the
world, they built it in memory of
their son, and put all the money they
could into it, went down. A tall
brick chimney over $50 feet high
came down and killed the engineer.
There were only two students killed,
one from Pennsylvania by the name
lof Hanna. He was working his way
Through the school. He waited on
the table that Edith ate at. There
were great many distressing scenes
and some funny ones.
1t is having some effect on busi-
mess. The governor has ordered all
bills to stand still for thirty days,
land declares a holiday from day. TO

can get their money out of their
vaults and are prepared to do bust

IThey are composed of very rich men,
but they have closed for thirty DAYS,

iopen before. / suppose you have
the news from San Francisco as well
as We have, but / will send you some

cisco say that in short time it will

DISSOLVE MUTUAL AGREEMENT
NOT TO ACCEPT DEMANDS
OF THEIR MEN.

Pittsburg, April 9.-With only one
mine controlled by the Pittsburg Coal
company Idle in the Pittsburg district,
the disruption of the "standpat' Or
ganization of the independents and a
break in the ranks of the strikers in
the Irwin field the miners strike SO
far as the bituminous coal fields of
Western Pennsylvania are concerned
Is practically over Following the ac-
ton of the Independents in dissolving
the mutual compact not to sign the
scale OF 1908 announcement was made
by the officials of the Mine Workers
union that nine firms had placed their
names to the agreement. These COM
panies represent a total tonnage of
nearly 3,O0O,0 900 tons and employ 5000
men.
During the week they have had their
mines cleared and repaired and work
will be resumed at once.
Reports from the Irwin field are
that many of the miners who are strik-
ing for recognition of the union are
discouraged and are anxious to return
to work.
The killing of John Weisel, striker,
who had determined to go back to the
mines, has caused intense excitement,
especially among the foreigners.
