THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1889-TWELVE PAGES, AT THE CITY BUILDINGS. Scenes in the Corridors of the Commis- sioners’ Office. STRANGE CHARACTERS THAT HAUNT OFFICIAL HALLS—MEN WHO SEFK OFFICE—THE WOODEN- LEGGED MEN—BOOK AGENTS AND PEOPLE WHO ComE AFTER THEIR Par. Among the people who throng the corridors of the District buildings during the busy hours ‘the character student can find some curious types. All kinds and conditions of men and ‘Women, too, haunt the District buildings on almost every imaginable errand and the his- tory of a day in the life of a District Commis- vigner would make interesting reading for the uninitiated. The scenes and incidents that go to make up a day are most of them amusing to the casnal observer, but many of them are pa- thetic and show the sorrowful side of life. THE PROCESSION begins to move up the long iron-bound stair- ease as soon as the old gray-bearded sergeant, who stands sentinel at the entrance, opens the doors. The stream of people pour in from that time until 2 o'clock, when the doors are shut. The Commissioners arrive early, as a rule, and go right to work. The impatient throng t crowds the corridors, pac- ing restiessly up aud down like caged ani- mals, or sit like buzzards along the stairrail, are up and moving now. A infusion of life has been injected into these ‘‘waiters” and they brisk up like soldiers on parade. The Commissioners are allowed about time enough to get comfortably seated and get well into the morning ‘al When te cceee solemnly files in and patiently await their turn for an in- terview. Generally, it is upon some trifling mat- ter which a subordinate could just as well at- tend to, but to the caller it is the most im- | ope thing in the world, and he will be sat- with nothing Jess than a hearing vo The Commissioners are — Commissioner. and every one is heard, no matter ing his mission. PAY-DAY AT THE BUILDINGS brings a large crowd to Auditor Petty’s office, and all day long the halls resound with the tramp of heavy boots as well as the pit-pat of fanitless patent-leather gaiters. What a srangely-assorte;i company 1s this that stands the long counter in front of the window with a look of expectancy upon their faces. ‘The poor laborer unable to sign the pay-roll stands beside the wealthy contractor, the dapper employes, big bluff pocicemen and the hundreds of people who assist in various ways in running the District government. It is wonderful what a difference a roll of bills will have on a man’s disposition, and all of them go out looking happy. THE SECRETARY'S OFFICE. Of a very different class are the men who @rop into the secretary's office during the day. Most of them hobble. The peculiar sound made by a wooden-legged man climbing the stairs is heard often at the District buildings, and at least half a dozen permits to the work- house are issued every day. They are a pitia- ble lot from the very dregs of life. Tired with the rude buffeting of this knock-about world, weary of the struggle, deserted by friends and, mayhap, children, despair kills hope and they seek forgetfulness by dropping out of the never-ceasing current in the oblivion that the workhouse grants. But all of them have some small ray of hope remaining, and they “go down” only as a last resort. One of the most frequent visitors in search ef a permit is JOHN HOOLIHAN’S WIFE. She is never Mrs. Hooliban, never anything to herself or to the employes about the build- ing. but simply John Hoolihan’s wife. She “bobbed up serenely” the other day after an absence of some weeks. She looked alittle the worse for wear, and time is beginning to tell on her robust constitution. Her hair was matted and disheveled, her face red and bloated with the carousals of half a century, but her voice was as loud and shrill as of yore. Bhe wanted to be sent down fora couple of months to recuperate her exhausted vitality. Fest from her labors at working the “‘growler” and “chasing the duck,” and attempting to quench an unguenchable thirst. She stumbled into the secretary's office and deposited herself in one of the large chairs with a nt of satisfaction and opened « long rigamarole about politics, religion, and the workhouse cooking, but al- ways concluding with the inevitable “Faith, I never wanted for a cup of tay while John Hoolihan lived.” But the beloved John had long since departed this vale of tears and left his “‘widder,” who now wanted to be shelved for e little while. The effect of the warmth of the room was to make her mellow and too yooifer- ous, and when told to keep quiet she com- menced a tirade against every one in the build- ing. The patrol-wagon was called, and after a desperate resistance, in which Fletcher, the Commissioners’ driver, had his stovepipe driven down over his eyes, she was placed in the patrol-wagon. crying out in her defeat, “I'll Bot letadommed nager lay hands on John Hoolihan’s wife.” BOOK AGENTS AND CANVASSERS make the District buildings their stamping grounds, and every day two or more may be seen meandering through the hall buttonholing every one who seems to hayé a moment's leisure. A great many people have more than enough of this, and anything that will vary the monotony, if only a little, is_gladiy welcomed, and so the insistent seller of books gets not a few subscribers. A queer lot are these people, and the practical jokes that are played upon them does not seein to dampen the enthusiasm which they show in the work of getting sub- scribers. One of the most familiar p Soe among them isa man who can scarcely be more than thirty, with seant locks of gray hair shining beneath his battered hat and a thin hatchet face with a pleading look. His tat- tered threadbare coat reaching to his knees hides still other tatters, and his rubber shoes, with their gay checkerboard uppers, are worn more for the sake of economy than for the sake of comfort. His thin quavering voice breaks in on the hum-drum of the office in shrill tones and makes one sturt. He is pretty successful, however, and does « good business. Another character that may be seen almost every day about the building is the WOULD-BE FEMALE DETECTIVE. She has a craze in this direction and for months she has haxnted the Commissioners trying to get an appointment on the force. She claims that she has had a great deal of experi- ence as a detective, and says that the force will fo to rack and ruin unless she is a inted. he claims to be related to President Harrison, as well as several dead Presidents. During —— month the building has been overrun wi OFFICE-SEEKERS. Ever since the advent of the new Commis- sioners applications for office have been pour- ing in on them both by letter and personally. There is hardly an office within their gift that two or more —— are not after, and to- day there is filed in the office nearly five hun- dred applications. Nearly every unemployed person in the city seems to have been seized with the idea that sweeping changes are to be made, and they have until recently oceupied most of the time of the Commissioners in preas- ing their claims. For the most part the appli- cants simply make their claims, present the pames of their backers, and then withdraw to await developments, but many of them are not satisfied with so simple a proceeding. They make a full statement of their family affairs, my that they are in destitute circums! and that immediate appointment to office is the only thing that will save them from irretriey- able ruin. This isa story that has to be lis- tened to every day. COMING AXD GOING. The types mentioned are only a few of the many that may be seen any day at the building. Every one differs in some particular from his brothers. and the study is a never-ending one. They come and depart and others take their and so the story on from day to and never ceases to interest the observer. It isa story of many chapters, in which the ES and the humorous are strangely ended, but through it all runs astrain of human nature that saves the whole from being commonplace. —.—___ outh—“I have a poem and I want to Timid see the editor.” Office boy—*The editor is busy.

As science and the arts advance, new terms are necessarily introduced. Soa word comes to have technical meaning, and to be used in & peculiar and enlargedsense. In meteorology we have the terms “high” and “low,” stand- ing respectively for high and low barometer. Barometer being a long word, to repeat it every time, would be quite a task; so it is dispensed with and the simple terms “high” and “low” stand as their substitutes, The movement of these two factors over the surface of the earth produce all the atmos- pheric changes which we term the weather. The general movement is from the west towards the east, or towards the rising sun. That these factors do thus move. and that their movement, day by day, hour by hour, does produce all the changes in the weather, is a fact that it would be useless at this day to question. It is afact beyond dispute. But notwithstanding such a primary and unques- tionable a fact, many people seem to regard the beautiful system whereby our wea\ changes are wrought, with indifference, for the reason that the weather map does not appear to them to record, also, the cause of the Po a and “lows,” and why they move as y do, As a disciple of the map, I challenge anyone to show wherein any other branch of science can surpass this wonderful map in leading the finite mind to acloser and more satisfactory relationship to the holy of holies of science. There is more on the map than is revealed to the mere indifferent observer of the movement and economy of these factors. REVEAL™D BY THE MAP. To the close student the map reveals what at first may seem hidden secrets. It has revealed to us all the phases of the weather that itis possible for the human mind to conceive of; the “tornado,” the “local,” “Indian summer,” the “blizzard,” or any of the combinations that man, in his long years here, has experi- enced. Name the condition, and the student of the map will construct the juxtaposition, contour, and intensities of the “highs” and “lows,” even as the naturalist from 3 bone will construct the animal to which it be- longed. But men who have paid little or no attention to the map, who know not even how to inter- pret its most simple conditions, will not be- come interested in it because they cannot under- stand what these mysterious factors are, what their cause, and why we cannot with mathe- matical nicety ulate in advance their movement and effect. There is uot another branch of science of which they would think of demanding so much. They do not demand what sunlight is, at least before they will ac- ceptall the results of that important factor. In all departments of science there are certain “bottom facts,” or “first causes,” beyond which we cannot go. Yet too often the mere novice, who will not bother himself with ascending the first round of the ladder will demand of the seer what ccnnot even be seen from the top- most round of the Jacob's ladder. Beyond the primary facts, in all branches of science, the mind of man cannot go. We must simply ac- cept them as forces that accomplish certain results. WHERE THEORY COMES. Thus, in all departments we are led up to the veil that hides from our view the first cause, beyond which we cannot pass. At this juncture, however, a new power comes to our assistance, known in the department of science as Heory.' From facts already known to us we construct our theories, and by them we often- times gain a deeper insight into these mys- terious powers of nature that surround us. The theory though is not final like a fact; it is always at the mercy of a new fact, or the new interpretation of an old fact. In the department of meteorology the great question is, what is “low” and “high,” and why do they move on such peculiar lines? As to fact we know nothing, and it would not seem that it were possible for the finite mind to know anything absolute in the matter. Still there is a satisfaction in a well-founded theory. With many people the first suggestion for cause in this line is that most of all mysterious forces, electricity, put the burden upon this agent, and it seems to answer the purpose.’ No one knows what electricity is, but if an unknown effect is mysteriously eaddied upon this unknown agent with the many it is conclusive; they are satis- fied and think not to push the inquiry further, but to the true student such a reply is not sat- isfactory. for it simply shifts the responsibility on an unknown factor. Thon in meteorology electricity, like the wind, isa mere effect and not acause. Without heat of some kind, there is no electricity. No one ever heard of a thunder storm where there is a great display of electricity, with only a relatively south ‘low.” The thumder storm with its accompanying electricity is a thing of heat, caused by the rel- atively north “low.” This isa fact. “So elec- tricity is out of the question as an agent of cause; it is merely an effect. Like the wind it may become the agent of an effect, but it is secondary, THE THEORY OF Low. So we come to the theory of “low,”heretofore given in various communications on the subject. The surface of the earth, as we al know, is very irregular. Were it all one even condition of uninterrupted plain, or water surface, the movements of these factors, “high” and “low,” would be correspondingly regular, and if these factors were regular, i. ¢., if they traveled at regular intervals, the area of “high” so many miles wide, and the “low” so many miles wide, in regular belts, and like the movement of the earth, hada regular speed, then the coming and going of these “highs” and “lows” would be very easy to calculate. But instead they are as irregular as the topography of the earth's surface, and of course, the more irregular the surface of the earth, the more irregular must be those factors that are governed by it. The heat power of the sun is, comparatively speak- ing, quite yw and “gees: | tothe differ- ent portions of the earth, it is regular, But the surface on which this sun shines is very irregular and diversified by land and water. The only, or perhaps the better way to under- stand the theory of “low,” is to imagine our- selves present when the fiat of the Creator first started in motion all the machinery of creation, or so much as we are practically interested in. There were no “highs” nor “lows.” The earth is in regular motion; the sunshine is steady. Some portions of the earth’s surface will be more susceptible to heat than others; on these favored spots as the earth revolves the sun’s rays will become con- centrated and the favored spots will become heated beyond others, and particularly beyond those portions the latest to be presented to the direct rays of the sun. Conceutrated heat, we well know, causes a movement of the surround- ing air toward that point, whereby the “low” is formed. This is a fact, which we must deal with as such—just as much a fact as that the unsupported weight will fall, or that light and heat will emanate from the sun. By this con- centration of heat the surrounding atmosphere, technically termed the winds, is set in motion toward this center. Wherever the rays of the sun are felt evaporation becomes active. The winds waft the suspended moisture, which we term the clouds, toward this rarified center or meut om ee ha —— ter, pressure least, In common Atmosphere at this point is heaty, perc not the atmosphere proper that is heavy, but the atmosphere at this point, from causes becoming light, there is an effort in the atmosphere TO RESTORE THE BALANCE, and this produces ® movement of the air which brings toward this point all the cloud forma tions within the influence of the center of low ire. The clouds are fe ro ae being formed ev: where. of the has many motions, one series along the of the earth TOWARD TRE LOW CENTERS, above the earth, outward from these centers, whereby these upper currents so often seén are produced. Thus the atmosphere of this globe of ours is kept in constant motion, purified daily revealed on the weather map would be sufficient to satisfy the intelligent mind; at least satisfy just as much as it can ex- tto be satisfied in any other department. und in this life as we are by “‘fleshly paw- ” our minds cannot in any department | segmaeny the veil beyond which is concealed © great first or primary causes in nature. We must accept these as facts. We have in our ilgrimage discovered this much. We know ‘em as forces, and as such we can rely seen them that they will never disappoint us, but always do our bidding and act in conformity withlaw. We are ‘ited to acquire and use them thus far, but beyond this the human mind bas never ventured, and undoubtedly never Will: at least so longas we are “bound by fleshly powers,” 2 LPN. = a cae HOME MATTERS, SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS TO PRACTICAL HOUSE- KEEPERS—HINTS FOR THE DINING ROOM, PAN- TRY, AND KITCHEN—EVERYDAY ITEMS WORTH BEMEMBERING.
