w ASHINGTON.-T great white
w United States capitol building is
sort of central magnet of great pow
er which attracts many queer people
from all sections of this broad land.
Capt. j. P. Megrew, a union war vet
eran with splendid record, is in
command of the capitol police force,
and the peculiar people who flock to
the big building come under his OBJ
servation.
Away back in the '70s, before Capt
Megrew became chief of the capitol
police, the tragedy of the dome" oc-
Cured. A young Catholic priest, who
had become demented from overstudy.
assembled to the platform just below
the Goddess of Liberty, more than 259
feet above terra firma, and plunged
headlong into space. In striking the
thick copper sheathing of roofing over
the rotuna the body made a deep in.
dentation in the metal, which is now
pointed out to visitors by the capitol
guides.

Queer Piece of Red Tape Is Found

and mailed in Beebe Plain, Canada,
goes 294 miles, 67 of them in Canada
and the remainder in the United
States, just exactly as the other letter
does, for the reason that that is the
way that mail is routed, and, of
course, it has to follow that string of
red tape, whereas If the fellow who
has letter to mail to some one in
Beebe Plain, VT, but lives in Canada,
simply walks across from one side OF
the post Office to the other and sticks
his letter in the Vermont post office,
the Vermont man will probably get
1t within a couple of hours.
The remarkable thing about it is
that there are separate entrances to
these two post offices, they have the
same lobby, and there is not a sign
of partition to mark the division be
tween the domain of Uncle Sam and
the possessions of King Edward, and
yet some railroad company is carrying
the letters of these two places, If ad-
dressed to the other, 294 miles, when
they need not be carried at all except
in the carriers bags.

Snuff Takers of the u. S. Senate

excited the wonder and awe of the
modern page.
He was very proud of gold snun
box presented to him by the senator's
upon the fortieth anniversary of his
entry into their service, and he kept
it filled with a choice brand Of the
powder He carried it in tail pocket
of the frock coat in which he always
appeared, and the force of his habit OF
reaching for it caused a laugh at his
expense.
1t was during the troublous times at
tending the Hayes-Tilden contest, and
it was thought best that Capt. Bassett
as custodian of one of the boxes con
tanning the disputed electoral votes
should be armed. He was according
ly provided with a revolver. which he
carried in the pocket of the empty
coattail.
AS the procession was about to start
on the march from senate to the
house Capt. Bassett was asked If he
had his revolver with him.
Eyes," he replied, here 1t is" and
diving into the wrong pocket, he pro

ished gold snuff box.
There had been threats of attack
ing the procession on the way to the
house, and the members of the party
were in rather sober frame of mind
but the tension was relaxed for the
moment by the laughter which was
caused by the mistake.
Perhaps the most noted Of the sen
ators who were addicted to snuff with.
in the memories of the old employees
was the late Allen G.. Thurman OF
Ohio. Mr.. Thurman was a frequent
visitor of the official snuff box on the
Democratic side.
Vice-President Wilson, who died in
his room at the capitol, was another
noted patron of the senate snuff box
and so was Senator Edmunds of Yer
mont.

CHAPTER u.
Condolences.

Miss Patricia received me the fol-
lowing aft rnoon on the lawn at ST.
Agatha's where, in a cool angle of
the buildings, maid was laying the
cloth on a small table. :.
1t is good of you to come. Helen
will be here presently. She went for
a walk on the shore"
You must both of you make free
of the Glenarm preserve. Don't con-
slider the wall over there a barricade:
its merely to add to the picturesque
ness of the landscape"
Miss Patricia was quite rested from
her journey, and expressed her pleas
ure in the beauty and peace of the
place in frank and cordial terms.
Il could ask nothing better than
this. Sister Margaret is most kind in
every way. Helen and l have had a
peaceful "a hours-the first in two
years-and 1 feel that at last we
have found safe harborage."
Rest assured of it, Miss Holbrook /,
The summer colony is away off there
and you need see nothing of it: it is
quite out of sight and sound. You
have seen Annandale-the sleepiest
of American villages, with a curic
shop and a candy and soda fountain
place and picture postcard booth
which the young ladies' of st. Aga
tha's patronize extensively when they
are here. The summer residents are
lust beginning to arrive on their shore

Tragedy and Romance of the Dome

Next to the tragedy of the dome Is
a recent occurrence which is desig-
mated as "the romance of the DOME"
A. young couple secured permission
from Capt. Megrew to be married be-
meath the great bronze Goddess of
Liberty on the lofty congress steeple.
A preacher rendered his services, and
the novel ceremony was performed in
mid-air beneath the goddess with two
capitol policemen and sprinkling OF
visitors as witnesses.
Then comes the comedy Of the
dome" An eccentric fellow who had
invented a parachute made an inef-
fectual effort to test his invention by
sending down from the dome several
of his parachutes with cats attached
to them. He was evidently afraid to
risk his own precious life, so decided
to use felines. His purpose was
thwarted by the capitol police, re-en-
forced by the Washington Humane so
ciety.
Statuary hall is one of the most in.
teresting apartments in the capitol.
1t contains the stone and bronze
statues of a number of Americans,
distinguished alike in war and peace;
famous generals, statesmen. explorers
and Observation-Disclosures to the gen
eral government by the several states,
each state selecting its most illustri-
Gus sons.

Uncle Sam Worried Over $40 Error

lost and the valuation, $40, was paid
by Postmaster Weart Subsequently
post Office inspectors discovered that
the package had been delivered to the
addressee and the records mislaid.
When the facts were disclosed
every effort was made by the de.
partment to return the amount to
Postmaster Weart. He had moved
from Deal Beach to Hood River, Ore.
Inquiry showed that he had died
there. An effort to locate his heirs
proved unavailing. Neither Of his
two sons could be located. although
they both were traced by post once
inspectors from place to place. The
search already has cost the depart

original loss. but the Disturbing Of.

lanterns, and watched the slow move

j United States senate, Mr.. Over
man of North Carolina and Mr.. Carter
of Montana. For the benefit of these
two men the senate still maintains the
official snuff boxes, which are kept
carefully with fresh material for pro-
ducing sneezes.
These boxes are little lacquered af-
fairs about four inches long, two and
a half inches wide and an inch deep,
and are fastened by screws to the
top of the projecting ledge, one on
each side of the vice-president's dais.
The snuff is purchased by the SER
geant-at-arms in four eight pound jars,
at a cost of rs cents a pound, and it
takes an average of about five pounds
a year to replenish the boxes twice a
week during the sessions. The work
of refilling the boxes was for years
one of the duties tremendously per-
formed by the late Capt. Bassett, the
venerable assistant doorkeeper of the
senate and inveterate user of the pow
dered weed; but since his death, five
years ago, the task has fallen to the
lot of one of the pages, who, naturally,
does not bestow upon it the loving
