LINCOLN. EEB., September 19.--Wil-
liam j. Bryan comments as follows to-
day upon the Pcnnsylvania State Capt.
tol graft:
900 for the erection of Capitol build
ing at Richmond. A gnincent struc-
ture was the result: but the public
officials having the matter In charge
have put themselves In disfavor with
the Pennsylvania gentlemen who at
tended to the construction of the Key
stone State Capitol. The Richmond
building cost only 100000, and 100000
of the appropriation was covered back
into the State treasury. The Virginia
Capitol cost the yirginians less than.
the graft worked on the Pennsylvania
Capitol in the one item of bronze work
alone. The graft-workcr in Pennsyl-
yania, on the one item of furniture for
the new Capitol would have paid for
the erection OF two such buildings as
the one to which loyal Yirginlans point
with pride.
'"The difference between the ,Pennsyl-
yania building and the Virginia build
Ing liz that the former was built by
dishonest men, who robbed the State,
while tteslatter was built by patriotic
men, who looked after the best inter-
ests OF their Commonwealth, The for
mer is the logical result of allowing a
rotten political machine to run the
State; the latter Is the logical result
of Intelligent and honest participation
in public affairs.
1T is to be hoped that at some time
In the future the people Of Pennsyl-
vania will realize the necessity of run
ming their own public affairs. instead
OF leaving them to the tender mercles
Of a political machine that hesitates
at no crime calculated to perpetuate
Its hold upon the public revenues"
Mr.. Bryan is mistaken In his figures
az to the Virginia Capitol. which was
not wholly constructed, but merely re-
constructed and enlarged by the addi-
tion OF two wings. The cost of the
freproof reconstruction was less than
the appropriation of s25O,oo0 but a
sum not exceeding $4,000 was ex-
pended in furniture, furnishings and
accessories. The contract for recon
struction and enlargement was less
than the appropriation.

One of the narrow arches in the gal

though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer. The reason for
the widening of the arch after Its orig

what humorous occurrence. One of
the early visitors was remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with some
difficulty. The builders, recognizing
the possibility of other fat people be-
ing numbered among the future Wis

rificing symmetry and harmony to

Precautions of Old Time DOCTORS.

Precautions Of Old Time Doctors.
1t was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry a cane having &
hollow head. the top of which was
gold, pierced with holes like pepper
box. The top contained small
amount of aromatic powder or of
snuff, and on entering the house or
room where disease supposed to be
infectious prevailed the doctor would
strike his cane on the floor TO agitate
the powder and then apply 1t to his
nose: hence all the old prints OF physi-
.ians represent them with canes to
heir nose ).
