Washington, d. c., Feb. 12.--Uncle
offices. Two OF the most magnificent
buildings in the country are being put
up by the national government for the
exclusive use of senators aud repre-
sentatives in congress. Each VIII oc-
cupy q block and will cost 81, 900, 600.
One of the twin structures will be for
the house, the other for the n and
they will form detached wings to the
capitol.
Heretofore the congressman have had
no regular Offices, each has had his
headquarters in whatever place pleased
him most. There has been no system
about the accommodations. Now each
branch OF congress will have a hand
some office building, with uniformed
attendants, a ~postottice Ink telephone
n telegraph service.
Senators Get More Room.
The southern building, for the house,
will have 429 rooms, one for every one
of the 410 representatives, and ~ for
future growth in the membership. On
account of their smaller number the
senator's, in the northern building, will
get the better of the bargain in the
matter of space, every senator having
n room Tor ulfflSelI. one lof his SeCIe-
tary, and a bathroom.
In designing these congressional Of
fees the architects put particular en-
phasis upon safety from fire and the
specifications call for 230, 900 square feet
of terra Gotta hollow tile for the build
ing. Though only four stories high,
each of them will have as great a guam
tity of hollow tile brick in it as many
a s~kyscraper the height of which makes
~fireproofing an absolute necessity.
Thus, while the character of Wash
ington architecture demands that the
buildings De low, they are made just as
safe as il they were high. Fire Will
have no nance against them.
The exterior of these capitol wings
will be white marble, They will be
connected with the capitol by arcades
lined with ornamental brick and brill
liantly lighted by electricity. Features
Of each will be a rotunda, reaching
from floor to floor and capped by a
great dome 20 feet in diameter: a eau

New York, Feb. 1.-THE latest Ma
poleon of Wall street. is a ~16-year-old
school boy, a pupil in the Cutler school.
He Is the son of n of New York's
most prominent musical composers.
About a year g he got several hum
dred dollars from his father. The boy
was perfectly frank about what the
money was to be used for. He wanted
to speculate. His father thought It
would be a good thing for the lad to
lose the money. The experience would
be worth the amount involved.
1t was not until the boys mother re-
Gently complained that the youth was
neglecting his studies that the loan ina
cident was recalled. Then the father
made the astonishing discovery that the
boy had SAC, 900 In the bank and still
had In interest In the market. What
shocked the father, however, was to
find that the gambling mania had
taken such a hold upon his son that he
could not concentrate his thoughts on
anything except stocks. Father and
son had a heart to heart talk, and the
boy agreed to go back to the Cutler
school and try to forget all about Wall
street.
Meanwhile the $40, 900 will be invested
in good interest bearing securities.
