The Impressive View fron: the Top of the Washington Monument. 4 VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE PROGRAM OF VISI- TORS TO WASHINGTON—A TRIP IN THE ELEVATOR— LIGHTS AND SHADOWS—TEN MINUTES AT THE TOP— THE EFFECT OF SUN AND WIND UPON THE SHAFT. ‘The program of tourists who visit Washington has had an important addition made to it during the past week by the opening of the Washington Monument to the public. From the Monument Visitors can obtain a charming view of the city And vicinity, which they can carry away in their ‘memories as one of their most precious souvenira, AU the rate at which the visitors have been carried to the top since the opening om Tuesday last it ‘Would seem that not only the -visitors, but the Tesidents of Washington have been seized with a desire to see the city from aloft, the passengers averaging from 400 to 550aday. The car has made steady, regular trips up the shaft every halt hour, beginning al ‘Povclock in the morning and continuing with an intermission at noon, until 4 O'clock. A tip up, with the car loaded, cecuples about ten minutes. Ten minutes are spent at the Lop to give the visitors a chance to look out of the Windows, and then those who wish to go down are taken back vo the lower regions, about nine minutes being occupied by the descent. ‘Those who wish to remain above, however, are permitted todo so, but they must wait forthe next cown- ward trip of the car, since no visitors are allowed {Wo ascend oF descend by means of the stairway.

As it vide the aruticial backs forthe com! labor they can save the bees is paid as the bee, if it has noun honey.

I have known of some who car- Hed as much as $500 worth of tickets into the grand Jury room when they were members of that body. Some of our city fathers were prominent in the lottery business as backers, agents, or buyers, Inthe olden times the city councils authorized lotteries, but about the time Congress made a law Prohibiting the drawing of lotteries and the sale Of tickets the councils followed sult by putting a Clause in the general gambling act.” “Did the drawings take place here?” queried the reporter. “No,” said the veteran, “but the business of sell- ing tickets was a lively’ business; almost every phase of society was tnverested 18 the scheme. 1 ve seen the exchange offices crowded, perhaps NOt a8 much as at election times, but suli quite as much of & Jam as we sometiines see at tne bulletin boards, We had then the Delaware, Maryland, and Alexandria lotteries, and subsequently thé Kentucky lottery became’a popular one.
