Washington, D. C.. Sept 2f.-Fully
$4,000 tourists have stood under the
great dome Of the nations capitol md

ful corridors and chambers OF his
toric interest during the past two
months.
Henry Neal. for forty-sIx years mes
senger to speaker Of the house OF rep
resentatives. says that there have
been no such crowds 20 the capitol
since the Philadelphia centennial ex-
position IN 1876.
The sfEhtseers have come on special
excursions from every state in the
union One party came from Alaska
and there have been several special
parties from the Philippines. Hawaii
Cuba and Porto Rico
The eLcursionists are travelling on
their war savings. High wages for
labor and high prices for products
brought great prosperity TO many
during the war The need for work
and necessity for production forced
the wage Garner and producer TO stick
to his task during the years OF the
war. and his wages and profits piled
up in comfortable surplus.
With pressure for work and pro-
duction relieved came the desire for a
vacation. and funds being at hand. the
workers started on their travels. II
has been the unanimous comment Of
those who have studied the crowds OF
capitol visitors during the past two
months that Ct was made Up Of work
ers and their families. They were the
prosperous carpenters, plumbers. ma
chinists, mechanics and artisans OF ali
classes
The dozen or so capitol guides have

summer. The charge for each excur-
sion party is fifteen cents a head. and
for the casual visitor or small party
twenty-five cents for each person.

by him equally among the guides.
Railroad officials have discouraged

charges and high cost OF living, have
had apparently little effect Pros
perity OF the people has been so gen
eral that cost OF travel has been no
