There are two public restaurants in
the walled city, and back of each Of
them is private restaurant for SEN
atOrs and representatives.
At either end of the walled city
there are splendid bathrooms, but
these are not for the use of the en-
ployes of the house of representatives,
nor of the senate, but for the states
| men.
The senate library is one of the
most complete to be found in any city,
and the library of the house of repre-.
sentatives is also an excellent one.
Thousands of people use the thor
oughfares of the walled city, and yet
they are always spick-and-span clean.
Thousands of ladies annually visit the
| capitol, and all of them marvel at the
magnificent housekeeping manifested
in the cleanliness of those spacious
corridors. The superintendent and the
sergeants-at-arms manage their forces
so quietly, unobtrusively and efficient
ly that results are produced, and of
course popularity is a necessary Sc
quel to those results.
In addition to the public telegraph
Offices In the walled city, there are
other telegraph offices in the press
galleries for it's use of the scores of

This is the only city in America
that controls its own atmosphere. In

kept comfortably warm by having
fresh air constantly pumped over coils
of heated pipes In summer the air is
pumped into the walled city over
many tons of ice.

| this country which contains such mar
velous collections as are to be found
| in the document room of the senate,
and in the senate library, two impor-

rooms. Here may be seen copies of
substantially every public document

vorable and adverse, on all bills and
resolutions. These documents contain
the minutiae of the history of our
country.
The tool room contains every kind
of tool that can ever be required for
the manufacture and repair OF any

city.
