C, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1893-TWENTY PAGES. CLIMBING THE DOME. Experiences. PEERING DOWN INTO THE ROTUNDA A Glorious Panorama Spread Out From the Outside. IT IS WORTH THE TRIAL. It may be that the dome of the Capitol has lost some of its attractiveness for tourists in Washington. But ff this is so it 1s because of the increased height of the Washington monument and its greater ease of ascent. The dome used to be a veritable Mecca. Time was when pilgrims to the city climbed its tortuous heights as courageously as did the devouts in other days who visited Rome for the purpose of struggling up the sacred stair on their penitent knees. And of the two processes it is likely that the climb to the feet of Liberty was the harder. Yet even today, in the full glare of the active opposition of the monument, the dome is a great drawing card, though its visitors are not so promiscuously young and old as before. Tourists are drawn up into it by its very difficulty. Its smooth outlines attract them. They think it ought to be easier than their friends tell them it is. So chances are that the: their ambition before they wet beyoed une first landing. Yet their reward is full. If they are honest with themselves they wil! admit that the game ts really worth the candle. It is a Great Expertence. In the first place the ascent taxes their Powers of discovery to the utmost. It has all the elements of adventure about it. It appeals to the imagination, and to the spirit that is delighted at the thought of uncovering hidden depths. Of course the start is easy. An unpreten- tious door opening from the tiny rotunda to the north of the great circular room un- der the dome itself leads into a square apartment that holds the first innocent stairway. A few steps are apt, however, to lead the unwary into a pocket, up a few useless steps, and out of the very crooked and afterward very narrow way. But this cul-de-sac once Passed, there is no going astray, though there is always a delightful sense of groping and independent advance. Up and up and round and round a circular stairway winds a dizzy way for half a hundred steps, and then suddenly out comes the climber into a bewildering open Space that shows the very skeleton of the huge bulb. Here he stands, within the very skin of the building, between the outer cas- ing of the dome and the more solid body of the main structure. A zig-zag stairway leads to the point where the outer shell angles in to the principal structure and nar- Tows to the first real torment of the ascent, @ narrow little ladder of tron that gives a Premonition of the trials to come. Then light breaks into the personal sky once more, and the feet are sure once more as they rest on a level space a bit larger than the top of a hand satchel. This is the first interior gallery, and below is the floor of the rotunda. The hurrying People begin to be foreshortened. The noise of scurry- ing feet and explaining guides and gossip- ing loiterers softens into a hum. A series of short stairs soon gives access to the first view from the outside. In former years visitors were permitted to go out upon the roofed colonnade just above the point where the dome springs from the roof of the building. This, how- ever, has no railing, and is really more of @ part of the ornamentation of the dome @ convenience, and, as it was danger- ous, especially for the small fry that used it as a romping ground, it was closed per- manently, and so the first landing is higher up, on the roof of this colonnade. Here the first view of the city and coun- try round about is obtained. It is a glori- ous panorama. Directly in front of the doorway sparkles the gilded dome of the new library building. Smaller and lower than its solemn predecessor and neighbor, it has a rather new and flippant air, as it seems, to try to make up in brilliancy what it lacks in elevation and proportions. The evidences of incompletion jar a bit when the eye takes in the as yet blurred beauties of the new structure, but soon the vision is bathing in the glories of the green lane leading straight to the east, a strip of gray street bordered by foliage. Then the radiation of the avenues comes to mind, and the density of the trees, and the cleanliness of things, and the quiet, marred only by the sounds that rise from the carpentry work going on at the main steps in prepar- ation for the event of the autumn. Away beyond, the hills of the eastern edge of the District stand solemn and secure, like guardians of the city that nestles to the westward. A sudden drop in the sky line between two ridges shows the way to bal- timore. The smoke of a railroad train fil- ters up from the mass of leaves and shows the life that is ebbing and flowing like a tide to and from the political :netropolis. The trees of Kendall Green seem brighter and more dense than any others. The buildings of the institution huddle together comfortably, and defy the encroachments of the real estate agent. Farther off in the northern sky the granite piles of the Cath- olic University jut up into the horizon, a bit vague, and less distinct than the whiter and bolder note of the new tower of the Sol- diers’ Home, which gives a distinct contrast with the bank of leaves. Those who know of the vista unconsciously wonder if they could see through that beautiful piercing of the trees if their eyes were strong enough. A Swing to the Westward. Then a swing a bit to the westward brings into the range of view the discor- dant note of the great red brick pension building, line piled on line, angle jutting from angle, mass, bulk, without harmony or meaning. A bit beyond a shimmering patch of white shows the roof of the In- terior Department, and off toward the boundaries of the city the great arch of the Northern Liberty market makes a point for the eye. Away off in the bounding hills a white spot, with here and there a 4 tinct curve, indicates the new avai servatory. Nearer the spire of the Metro- politan Church shows its tendency to lean to the northeast more plainly than can be noted from the ground. A few steps to the left and the grand reach of Pennsylvania avenue gladdens the eye, weary with the mass. The smooth with cars and wagons, with tiny lots chat would develop into men and wonkn through the lens of a telescope, the suft green of the trees and the beautiful picture at the western end, over a mile away, all mpensate for the climb so far. “The monument stands stiffly defiant proud, conscious of its superiority as an elevation, apparently alive in the thought of its meaning. Between it and the spec- tator reaches the dream of verdure that makes the mall a thing of wonderful beauty. The spots of color in the Botanical Gardens, the silent fountain, the grand fixity of things, afford a strong contrast when the next segment of the circle demonstrates the inevitability of poverty and suffering. The flat stretch that occupies the entire southwestern quadrant is so apparently sordid and wretched that the eye does not Test upon it longer than to see that it is pierced with a railroad, and then it is lift- ed until it takes in the river, with its fill- ings, bordged by mathematical rows of tall trees. The river flows calm and white. Before it twists Itself into the hills in the north- west it gives a hint of the beauty of scen- ery beyond. To the south it steadies it- self into the dignity of a stream soon to join the great majority of the water drops. Over beyond rise the solemn hills of Vir- ginia, flattening off to the south to a shin- ing plain, but darkening straight to the west so as to give a beautiful background for the faint yellow of the Arlington Man- sion and to emphasize the height of the water tower at Fort Myer, which spots the horizon. The meeting of the rivers, the dotted hills that Maryland gave to the general government, the ancient air of the walls of the St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum, all finish off the picture that seems to’ un- wind itself before the spectator. A Climb Higher, Then he goes higher. He climbs and feels that he is shaping the curves of the dome with his own agony. He knocks his knees against the impudent edges of the steps, which jut forward on the rise to save lateral space. He looks up and despairs: he looks back and down and shudders. There seems to be nothing between heaven and earth. A maze of fron and a sense of tanglement fill his brain. He gasps ; and he goes down. | sed asa friend, but w! gray of the surface, dotted here and there | Waintances who posed as a ut who and realizes that he must climb, climb, climb. A momentary thought of the descent sends a shudder once more through him, but he puts it aside as he would the pre- monition of an epidemic. Ah! It is a relief to feel quite secure once more! The level floor of the inner gallery under the great painting is a blessing indeed. The evidences of solidity are sweet to the dizzy soul. He loves to linger here, to look down at the queer antics of mankind on the floor below, many, many feet. He amuses him- self comparing them with ants,as they slide along with telescopic strides. He laughs at their curious fore-shortening, and has a Jolly time thinking of how surprised they would be if he should drop over among them, and wonders if he would hit them. He shudders for the third time when the watchman and the vendor of souvenirs tell him of the man who jumped off the dome, years ago, and add to his horror when they remind each other of the harrowing in- cidents of the terrible affair, and one speaks of how the poor, demented fellow walked around the railing in the gallery only a few days before his leap to death. ‘The shivers of the visitors are changed to shakes of laughter when the watchman in- | troduces him to the trick of the circular ceiling, which throws the voice about as it would a rubber ball, until it seems to come from the very iron. Then he feels strong enouch to try the last stage of the climb, and he creeps up the tortuous stairway that curves over the allegory in paint with the hardihood of a | man who feels himself inured to danger. But he gasps in relief, nevertheless, when, after a final twist to the marrow that 1s almost sickening, he puts his trembling foot on flat fron once more and emerges into the fresh air. Far Above the City. Oh, that air! It alone pays for the trip. It is such a relief from the stuffy atmos- phere of the dome that the climber swal- lows gallons of it before he realizes that he has put the city a good many feet below him. The picture that he obtained lower down is flattened, concentrated, reduced. ‘The hills that border the scene do not per- mit any extension of the view. Washing- ton huddles closer to the Capitol. The gazer feels the curious sensation of being in the center of things. He becomes more important in his own esteem. He dreams and gazes and watches and waits and spec- ulates as to the life that is hidden by the bricks and the trees, and postpones as long as he can the descent. He really doesn’t want to go down. He would like to stay up here always. It is comfortable, compared with the stairways. He tries to get a glimpse of Liberty, but her face is sternly set to the eastward, and she does not deign to glance at him. He wonders how the men must feel who have to give her occasional baths. how they must laugh at the terrors of the stairways, when they creep out on their curved ladders and embrace her with their ropes, and caress her with their brushes. Then the horror of the descent dwindles, for a sense of pride comes to his rescue, It were better not to tell of the descent. It is a nightmare. It spoils the story of heroism that the tourist tells at home. Better it is to let the dome keep its secrets. Let the cold iron bury the agonies of the climb and the descent. Let the pride of the faint-hearted revive without treading on its toes by speaking of the heart flutterings on the steeps of Liberty’s pedestal. There are some stories that should never be told. This is one of them. — FOR THE INCURABLES. Delightful Ba: r Now in Progress at Willard Hall. A bazaar for the benefit of the Home for Incurables is in course of conduct at Wil- lard Hall. It was opened yesterday and will close this evening. It is under the auspices of fashionable dames and society damsels. Willard Hall seems to have been hit with a wizard’s wand. It is disguised under a maze of patriotic bunting. There is a wealth of color woven into festoons and draped in graceful folds. There is bunting enough to lead the armies of the Union to victory. Flowers lend their beauty to the scene and ferns sway in sympathy with the bazaar, its patronesses and its cause. In the balcony the band—the Marine Band— plays. The stage is dedicated to the supper tables. A bevy of maids attend them. The attendants here were as follows: Mrs. Mathews,’ Mrs. Billings, Mrs. Wheatley, Mrs. Joyce, Mrs. Fisher, Miss Billings, Miss Stevens, Miss Bradley, Miss Greenleaf, Miss Shoemaker, Miss Mix and the Misses Mathews. Mrs. Maurice Adler dispensed extract of mocha, and Mrs. Dolph, assisted by Mrs. Faulk, served the national drink of China. At the flower table Countess Ester- hazy and Mrs. Audenried wove blossoms into bouttonieres and nosegays. At the candy booth Mrs. Coles, Mrs. Stone, Miss Dodge, Miss Marbury and Miss Bailey dis- posed of the product indicated. The fancy table overflowed with things which The Star man did not understand. The uses and virtues of the various goods were explained by Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Sydney Everett, Miss Carrie Dodge, Mrs. Lamont and the Misses Wilson. The art booth was artistic. This was presided over by Mrs. Lamar, Mrs. Saville, Miss Lucy Southerland, Miss Katherine Riggs and Miss Saville. The doll booth was under the management of Mrs. William 8S, Dixon, Mrs. George Dunlop, Mrs. Hosley, Mrs. McCartney, Mrs. John Kurtz, Mrs, Smyser, Miss Beam, Misses Smyser and Miss Dunlop. Miss Etta Miller catered to the palate of the people with candied strawberries. Mrs. Trimble and Mrs. Bagsley sold paper ar- ticles at figures somewhat above market rates. The Japanese booth was presided over by Mrs. Beall, Mrs. Glover, Miss Thomas and Miss Wainwright. At the wheel of fortune, where the law was slightly fractured in a worthy cause, Mr. John Beall was in charge, ably seconded by Miss Anna Roedker and Mr. Carroll. One of the most unique features of the bazaar is “Dollland, under the management of Mrs. Charles C: roll. The room is crowded like a Chinese tenement with «these inanimate immigrants from Liliput. There are dolls of all kinds and conditions and of nearly all ages. A doll wedding is in progress. Baby Ruth and Baby McKee are being united in holy wed- lock by Bishop Potter. The unity of ages is disregarded, for Miss Herbert, the Misses Stevenson and other belles of the period are | represented as maids and guests. There is| a wedding cake, containing the regulation ring. Chances are being sold in the cake, and it will be cut according to the rules governing such affairs, and the holder of the winning ticket takes the ring. This great collection of dolls—sixty-five in num- ber—is the personal property of little Miss Sallie Carroll. This young lady has a doll family one hundred and fifty strong. Not quite one-half ts on exhibition. The for- tune teller of the bazaar is Miss Hancock. She shuffled the deck and slipped the cut as though she had been there before, and told The Star man that he had a very violent enemy; that there was also one of his ac- was not; that there was a girl who had not adequately reciprocated his affection, and that there was a man who owed him some money, but would never pay him. The Star man thought that this fortune would fit any reporter on anv other paper. Messrs. Thomas, Dixon and Heap manipulated the mimic horses and made books on the races. The Marine Rand continued to do its best. It was a delightful evening. oa gg Philological Association. A number of the members of the Colum- bian University faculty met yesterday and organized the Philological Association of the Columbian University. The officers chosen for one year are: Dr. J. C. Welling, president; Dr. A. P. Montague, vice presi- dent; Dr. L. D. Dodge, secretary, and Drs. Huntington, Shute, Soteldo and Gore, mem- bers of the council. Among the members will be several ladies who have won degrees |in the Columbian University. The purposes [of the association are philological inquiry, the study of comparative philology and | the discussion of methods of instruction in the languages. Many eminent scholars at a distance from Washington will be cor- responding members. It is expected that the formation and work of the association will result in the establishment of a jour- nal of philology to be published under the auspices of the university. —_—— —__ Rev. Mr. Verbrycke Accepts. Last week, Thursday, the Gurley Me- moria! Presbyterian Church extended a call to Rev. J. Russell Verbrycke to be- come pastor of that church. Information has been received that Mr. Verbrycke had tendered his resignation to the Piermont Church and will preach his farewell sermon there on December 17. He fs expected to begin his work in Washington during the week following. The local papers speak in high terms of Mr. Verbrycke and express deep regret at his removal. > The New York Herald's Managua, Nica- ragua, cable says: The government has de- creed that a forced loan of $400,000 shall be raised to defray the expenses of war with Honduras, RETRACTS IT ALL. Mrs. Nicolaides Says She Was Wrong in Smashing Things. A new chapter has been added to the now famous quarrel, or series of quarrels, be- tween Kimon Nicolaides, the F street mer- chant, and his wife. It will be remembered that a few days ago Mrs. Nicolaides entered the Japanese emporium of her husband on F street and destroyed a quantity of valuable goods be- fore she could be restrained. In court Mrs. Nicolaides made severe charges against her husband. Today, however. Mrs. Nico- laides signed an affidavit. which was sworn to before a justice of the peace, in which she says: “I, Louisa Nicolaides. wife of Kimon Nicolaides, city of Washington, District of Columbia, being first duly sworn, do on oath depose and say that I desire to ac- knowledge the several wrongs which I have committed against my husband, the said Kimon Nicolaides, by way of destruc- tion in his store and to his business, and hereby make this affidavit of my own free will and volition; also to state that I have said a good many things about him and against him in the past which were untrue and which I now regret. “That on the occasion of my last visit to his store when I did damage to his goods and wares, he had given me no special cause therefor, and that his efforts were simply to stop me from creating further damage, and not to do me any bodily or personal injury, as to the contrary I tes- Ufied in my recent trial; that his treatment of me did not warrant the destruction of his goods; that his treatment of me did not Warrant my action in demolishing his goods and injuring his business. nor has it ever done so; that I am a person of great spirit and violent and uncontrollable temper, and that when the same are excited by any oc- currence I am seized with a desire to de- stroy, and that my husband and his busi- ness have been objects of my destruction; that I make this affidavit for the express Purpose of publication in one or more of the daily newspapers of said city of Wash- ington, D. Cc.” age MANY INCIDENTS Marked d@ Enlivened Yesterday's Racing at Benni; There were several interesting features in the racing at the Benning track yesterday afternoon, the disqualification of Eloroy, who finisaed first in the second race, for fouling Milt Young, the leaving of Sirocco, the favorite, and Annie Bishop, Roy Lochiel and Aurelian at the post in the third event, which tempted the owners to do the starter up, and the threat of several of the book- makers that if the club did not engage a new starter, they would do no further bus- iness being some of the incidents which served to make the day far from a dull one. The club, as the result of the dissatis- faction of the owners and bookmakers with Starter McCann, telegraphed for Starter Flynn, late of the Gloucester track, and word was received from him that he would be on hand today. The winners were: Fac- totum, 2 and 1 to 5; Milt Young, even and out; Correction, 5 and 9 to 5; West Side, 3 and even; McDonald, 5 and 9 to Sprinkle, 3 and even.

MOODY COMING. He Will Make Preparations for the Proposed Revival. Mr. Moody, who promised to come to Washington this week for the purpose of looking over the ground, has been expected since Thanksgiving. He has not yet ar- rived, but is looked for at the latest today. His visit will be brief, only a flying one, to ascertain the acoustic properties of Conven- tion Hall, and to find out how the money question stands in reference to his proposed revival meetings. The pastors and men in- terested in his coming will be called to- gether to meet him in the board room of the Central Union Mission as soon as Pos- sible after his arrival. ——__— THE WHITE CHAPEL HORROR. It is Claimed That Mrs. Halliday Was Connected With These Crimes. A special to the New York Herald from Monticello, N. Y., says: Mrs. Halliday, in prison here, refuses to take any solid food and 1s rapidly failing in health. For more than three weeks her food has been rejected. Sometimes she will drink a little milk to oblige Sheriff Beecher, but if any attempts are made to make her eat or drink she immediately becomes sul- len and refuses all sustenance. The sheriff yesterday said that recent investigations show that Mrs. Halliday is in all probability connected with the fa- mous White Chapel murders. “It has been proved,” said the sheriff, “that she was in Europe at the time. She frequently refers to the subject, both when she is in possession of her mental faculties and when she is raving.” In addition, the sheriff said: “I said to Mrs. Halliday, “Liz- zie, you are accused of the White Chapet murders. Are you guilty?” “Do they thing I am an elephant?” she replied. “That was done by a man. Mrs. Halliday is constantly speaking of these murders. She also talks of many women brought from New York, who have been robbed, killed, cut up in small Pieces and dumped in the Hudson river, Se ‘The contest over the will of the late Dr. Thos. W.

Last February I had to take to my bed for four weeks, and then it was I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. I soon got on my feet, but was very weak, and went to the Maryland Univer- sity Hospital, where they sald my trouble was chronic blood poisoning and gave me little hope. { returned home and continued taking Hood's. I bave used six bottles and the abscess has en- tirely disappeared, and I have been in FINE HEALTH EVER SINCE. I know if it had not been for Hood's Sarsapa- rilla I should be in my grave. I have gained in weight from 147 a year ago to 170 pounds today. I praise Hood's Sarsaparilla for it all." WIL- LIAM E. GREENHOLTZ, 1812 Hanover street.

TEITER FOR 15 YEARS ON FACE AND SCALP. PHYSICIANS’ PRESCRIP- TIONS AND REMEDIES FAIL. LOST ALL HOPE OF CURE. THOUGHT HIMSELF DISFICURED FOR LIFE. CUTICURA REMOVED CRUSTS AT ONCE. DIS- EASE ENTIRELY GONE IN ONE MONTH. NOW SMOOTIL, For more than fifteen years I was affected with running ‘Tetter on my face and scalp. Various pre- ‘scriptions aud many remedies were furnished, being afterwards treated by many physicians, and all to no avail. I had lost all hope of ever being cured, and concluded that I was disfigured for life. A friend persuaded me to give the CUTICURA REM- EDIES a trial, which I did in this way: Taking the CUTICURA RESOLVENT two teaspoonfuls after each meal, bathed the affected parts in warm water with CUTICURA SOAP, and applied the CUTICURA freely until the crusts were all removed. In one month my face und scalp were perfectly smooth. I give this cheerful testimony for the benefit of all who are thus afflicted. T. J. CABANISS, D. D., Columbiana, Ala. TETTER ON SCALP AND HAND.
