ROOMS IN THE CAPITOL.
Great Building ls World In Itself
and Able to Supply Its Own
Needs-Little Cells Used Il
az Offices.

The more zone hndS out about the
capitol at Washington the more one
realizes that no other building in this
country approaches it in interest
There are other buildings which are
big or beautiful or historic. But fol

Any one who has tried to find GU,
things about the building has had con

number of things which any one Of
fetal does know about it is surpassed
only by the number of things he does
not know. The place is labyrinth in
more ways than one.
There are out of the way corners
queer little rooms, winding stairs
dusty attics, and vast underworld
Of which even the congressman them
selves never dream. AS for the tour
list, he gets a crick in the back of his
neck by taking grounding view OF
the dome, acquires another crick-this
time in his artistic perception-by
viewing some of the ornaments OF
Statuary hall, plunks himself-though
it is generally herself-into the vice
presidents chair, if the gentleman
himself is absent, and gulps a few
facts about Uncle Joe's domain in the
house. But there are volumes of
history and acres of space which he
does. not suspect, much less inspect.
There are over 43O rooms in the
capitol. They range in size from the
hall Of the house of representatives
which is 139 by SO feet, to mere scraps
of rooms hardly large enough to hold
a table and couple of chairs.
Some of these little rooms are prac
tically within the great walls which
form the foundations of the rotunda
They are mere cells, circular in shape
but have served nevertheless as the
private offices of congressman.
Just what will be done with them
now that the representatives have
their Offices in the new building is not
definitely decided, but the whole capt
toll is so crowded that every inch OF
space will be needed.
Another cubbyhole of Importance is
just inside the entrance to the ground
floor of the house wing. 1t is tucked
in under the stairs, and probably not
one in a hundred of those who pass
so close to it knows of its existence.
This is the key ROOM 1t is fitted
up with all the paraphernalia of a

what it is.
When in his absorption in the cares
of state a representative has left his
desk key in his other clothes, or has

to the rescue. He has complete sets
of duplicate keys not only for the
house desks but for committee rooms
as well.

 John W. Gates, the sporting million aire, is constructing a golf course that IS to cost s1, 100000. His race course will cost three times as much, and his auto- mobile track. 50 yards wide, 34 miles long, and constructed entirely of concrete will mean an expenditure of $4.00O0O0.
 We may add for the benefit of our Lon- don contemporary that MT. Gates had just bought set of gold finger bowls, de- signed by himself, and costing 5000, OoO He is having made a damond-studded automobile which will cost $4,o00,000 As soon as he can find one he intends to pur- chase bath tub cut from pure ruby and costing SIP, ,000,0 0OO Also he has decided to have erected in his new mansion the largest and finest ice chest on eatrh.

 Notwithstanding their natural charms and attractions, seaside and other holi- day resorts would not afford the enjoy ment they do if it were not for the ex- tremly interesting, ingenious and popular competitions which are occasionally ar ranged. As OUT readers will remember this paper has done it's share in providing such competitions in the past, and will continue to do so as and when suitable schemes and opportunities present them selves.
 But there have been others equally worthy of mention. as wianess the novel prawning competition which took place the other day at Berling Gap, neaf Beaehy Head. It was believed to be the first ever arranged, and it offered three and a half hours enjoyment for the con- testants. The first honors went to a team hailing from Eastbourne, with an average catch per man of nine ounces.
 The prize for the highest individual catch was awarded Mir. J. Barnard, who out-distanced all competitors with seven teen ounces. The competition was voted great success, and will doubtless be repeated. .C(
 Last season, at Sydney, New South Wales an exceedingly popular competi- tion was organized by the proprietors of & wonderland City" gold nugget valued at e20 was buried in the sands and at given signal literally thousands of men, women and children were ad- mitted to the treasure ground.
 They at once started digging frantical- ly with spades and shovels, with which they had come provided. As they dug and dug the excitement became intense, and, as might be supposed, the onlooI1- CTS numbered thousands. But, alasl mo- body had the good fortune to unearth tho nugget, so it's value was presented to charities.
 Last August sack and other races were held on the sands at Filey, a select Yorkshire watering place. Among the competitors were the sons of some of the ruling chiefs of native states of India: In sack race for boys under the ago of twelve years, the competitors included the heir to the Sultanate of Lahore and Prince Abu BalSir and Prince Ahmed.

GOSSIP ON NEW COUNTY

Bessemer, October 4.-(Special.)-No or- dinance has been recently passed by the city council that has so pleased the peo- pie of Bessemer. at least many of them. as that introduced and passed last Thurs day night, prohibiting the driving or herd ing of cattle, after certain hours of the day, or allowing any stock to roam at large. The penalty for violating the ordi- nance is a fine of not less or more than s1OO.
 In many parts of the city fences have been taken down, lawns sodded, and some very fine flowers are being cultivated, but all the trouble and expense that might be gone to in beautifying the front yards is ruined when a COW or horse gets in the yard one time
 A lady who has spent quite sum or money on her chrysanthemum beds was almost heartbroken a morning or so ago when she found that COW had been in the yard and totally destroyed all of the plants. Mayor Rush is exceedingly anx- ious to put a stop to the trouble. Just so soon as the people learn that they will no longer be troubled with roaming cattle, down will come more fences, and the work of beautifying the town will ad- vance rapidly.

ter hit upon 8 really novel idea for q competition. In order to encourage his pupils to spend as much of their holidays as possible in the open air, he offered a prize to the boy who should return to school with the brownest face Needless to say, all extraneous aids were strictly barred, and, as luck would have it. tho prize went to Foster the captain of the school.
 At Champigny, an exceedingly pretty place on the Marne, French children a few seasons ago took part in a grimac- ing competition. The prizes, of course, went to those who succeeded in pulling the most horrible faces. the contest pro- ceeding for whole afternoon.
 The youngsters were only too ready to engage in this outre exhibition and for hours could be seen, tongues lollns out or crammed into small cheek; a rosebud Of a mouth screwed up, gaping or twisted as ludicrously as its tiny owner knew how; dainty little noses drawn up or pulled down out of all shape, and eyes squinting in desperate effort to look around the corner.
 Onlookers began to wonder whether the juvenile competitors would ever stop grimacing. while others, who ought really to have known better, assisted the boys and girls in distorting their features. One venerable white-haired old man showed himself quite an adept at this. He must have been a professional contor- tionist, or, at any rate, was well quail fled for the calling. He would make a face and, to the best of their ability, the youngsters copied it.

New County AIl.Absorbins Topic.

New county gossip is about all that can be heard on the streets of Besse- mer now. The people are reused to such a pitch that they talk 1t at break fast, dinner and supper, and dream of it by night. The new county campaign committee is receiving reports from all parts of the state in answer to in- quiries sent out recently, and with very few exceptions they are most en- couraging for the passage of the amendment.
 Capt. Romaine Boyd, prominent at torney whose home is at Ensley, thinks Bessemer should have new county.
 While I am not so heartily in favor of splitting up Jefferson. I think that if the Bessemer people want new county, and have the necessary require ments as provided for by the constitu- tion she should have it. and intend to vote for the amendment" said MT. Boyd.
