FURNITURE REPAIRED AND RENEWED nee An Elevator for the Supreme Court Justices. CARPET FOR THE HOUSE The Capitol is now in readiness for the post-mortem session of the Fifty-third Congress. All the debris of the last ses- sion has been cleared away and the dam- age repaired. It is astonishing to calculate the amount of damage which a session of Congress can do to the building and fur- niture occupied, not to mention the dam- age they may do to the country. This Congress having two sessions running al- most into each other before the last reg- ular session should begin did an unusual amount of damage and left more work to be done in preparation for this session than has ever been done before in the mid- dle of a Congress. The extra session when they had the fight over silver in the Sen- ate resulted in the utter demolition of the Vice President’s desk, through his rapping for order with the little ivory. gavel and the woodwork of the desk had to be re- placed before the regular session began. The last regular session resulted in the utter destruction of the carpet of the finance committee room, and the serious damage of that in the committee of ways and means. This shows the difference be- tween the two sessions, The one was @ parliamentary fight full of tumult, the other was one of diplomacy, conference and lobbying. The first was a play of the Vice President's gavel, the second was all on the carpet. Hard on the Furniture. Back of’the Speaker’s desk in the House wing is a large marble room known as the Speaker's lobby. It corresponds to the marble room on the Senate side, where the Senators receive their visitors and to con- fer with people who arg not permitted to &9 on the floor. The Speaker's lobby was furnished with very massive furniture elaborately carved and upholstered in rich- ly embossed leather. It used to be the ad- miration of all visitors. It is here where members usually retire to smoke when they want to avoid a roll call, and sitting close tcgether on the soft sofas they hold con- ferences and put up plans. Here, too, they listen to the convincing arguments of gen- Uemen who would like certain legislation to go thus or so. It is not open to the ordinary lobbyist, but ex-members and a few others of the privileged classes are ad- mitted. During the two sessions of this Congress the wear and tear on the furni- ture of this great lobby was so great that at the close of last session the embossed leather upholstery was actually worn out and hanging in tatters, It is probable not a single chair or sofa that was not in holes and in many cases the bottoms were burst out and the leather hanging over in flaps ike dog ears. The carpet in the space in front of the Speaker's desk was worn out by the shuilling of feet of members in the constant tramp through tellers or the crowding -together of members eager to catch every word in some exciting debate or yet the full import of some ruling. All these things and many others had to be re- paired and put in shape for this session. It has all now been done, and ready for the destruction to begin again. The force of men have been at work gor weeks cleaning, paining and patching and upholstering: the paint of all the interior portion of the butlding has been touched up, the worn out carpets of the committee rooms have been replaced, the desks have been cleaned off and recovered, and the halls of both houses scoured and cleaned and painted and var- nished until they look as shiny as a silk hat. Nearly all the oil paintings in the building have been cleaned and retouched. Paintings in the Rotunda, The big historic paintings around the ro- tunda, except two, which were fixed last year, have been gone over and shine out once more in bright colors. The Heaton painting of the Recall of Columbus, which hangs at the head of the east staircase on the Senate side and the portraits of Lafay- ette and Washington, and the two famous Bierstadt paintings, which hang on either side of the Speaker's desk in the House, all of which have grown dingy with time, have been gone over by an artist, and are in all their glory of fresh paint. There has 2l- ways been some hesitancy about attempt- ing to retouch these pictures lest there should be some deterioration from the orig- inal work. Their restoration, however, has been excellentlysdone and they look as well as when first hung upon the wall. The Recall of Columbus did not need to have much done to it, but the others were so dim and dingy as to be almost without character until restored. The Vice Presi- dent's room was thoroughly refurnished when Mr. Stevenson took aos of it, so that nothing more has to be done there this year, and the President's room, which is practically never used, remains’ unmo- lested in all its old-time glory of red and gold. The Speaker's room never has any- thing new placed in it except once ina great while @ carpet and the furniture there, almost as old as the House itself, has for the fiftieth time been smeared over with a thick coat of black varnish, A Supreme Court Elevator. “*r as many years as the Supreme Court has been in the Capitol building the justices | in their black robes have marched up and down the stairs trom their consulting room in the basement to the old hall in which they sit when in session, and lawyers and their assistants have trudged up and down the winding stairs between the law Ibrary and the court room. But tt is to be dfffer- ent hereafter. A fine, new elevator has been put in the lobby, running from the entrance of the court room to the law library in the basement, and the justices and lawyers will hereafter ride. The slow elevator on the House side for the use of members, whose deliberation has driven many an impatient man to insanity, and caused many a member tc miss a roll call, has been modernized into a quick-moving lift, which may inspire our statesmen to activity. ‘he other elevator, which the public had to climb two flights of stairs to reach, has been extended down to the ter- race, so that one can go into the subbase- ment and be landed up into the gallery without the use of stairs. The purchase of an entire new carpet for the great hall of the House was avoided by the foresight of the chief clerk, who, when it was laid, had a duplicate of the space in front of the Speaker's desk and in the center aisle reserved; this being laid makes the hall look as well as if the whole carpet were new. It is not generally known that the carpets laid in this hall, which have to be replaced every two or three Congresses, are never duplicated, and are, therefore, unlike any other in the world. The Carpet for the House. When a new carpet has to be bought for the House the American manufacturer having the contract has an artist submit special designs for approval, and when a design 1s selected the contract requires that the manufacturer shall never make another carpet after that pattern. A v vet carpet is selected, and it must be of American manufacture. When the man making the selection is as wise as the pres- ent chief clerk care is taken to have a good many figures in it not differing very much in general appearance from splashes of tobacco spit. ‘his need not necessarily be unartistic, and it saves appearances won- derfully after Congress has been in session for a month or two. During the present session there will be s@ne additions to the statuary of the Capl- tol. ‘fhe statue of Grant, which ts to be placed in the lesser rotunda, where the old French woman Clara Morris used to sell so&venirs, is now ready to be put In posi- tion. Statues of Pere Marquette, Daniel Webster, General Stark and Senator Kenna are to be added to the group in statuary hall, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. —_ Coffer Dam at the Aque- duct Bridge. The coffer dam hecessary to the thor- ough repair of the fourth pier of the Aque- duct bridge is now being sunk in sections, Three sides are down. The franiework will be completed and placed tn readiness for the sheet piling in a few days. Eight or nine men, all Who could work conven- jently together are employed on the con- struction. The favorable condition of the weather and water is facilitating the work and very perceptible progress is betng made. The -divers hired ry smgeed for the pur pose have completed the repairs to all the other piers and the government diver has inspegted and passed upon what they ac- complished. it has been found necessary to construct a coffer dam around but one pier—the cracked one—the defects in the others having been thoroughly attendéea to. The original coffer dams, those usetl in the construction of the piers, were built by Dr. Martineau of the firm of Stewart & Martineau. He experienced many loss- es and discouragements, and finally had to be assisted by the government, through their representative, Major Turnbull. In the ogiginal construction, pudding clay was thrown in between the two rows of piles and rammed to make the dam light. Then steam engines were used to pump the water and remove the mud. Seventeen feet of water was discharged by two pumps in forty-eight hours and thirty-two minutes. After a large por- tion of the mud had been removed, # break would frequently occur. One dam was filled ten times before the rock be- neath the river was reached. The uncertain stability of the dams and the constant danger of them being swept away by the great pressure which was against them caused the greatest anxiety during the construction. Cut His Hand. Guarda Ehrmantrout, a white man, re- siding on the Canal road, became so ex- cited yesterdey evening in Wardeli’s sa- loon, 3603 M street, that he threw his fist through a glass door and cut himself bad- ly. Officer Bloom experienced such dtffi- culty in stopping the flow of blood that he det med it advisable to send the man-to the Emergency Horpital in the patrol. Independent Lodge. At a regular meeting of Igdependent Lodge, No. 14, 1. O. G. T., last evening, ‘It was decided to pay a fraternal visit to Sil- ver Lodge ot Tenleytown on Thursday evening, December 6. The good of the order was participated in by the following members: Miss B. Mv- Elroy, B, T. Snelling, Edward Bresnan, the sisters Kennedy,: Mr. Guash and Mr. Mor- rison. It was also decided to hold Sunday night meeting in conjunction with Heber and Faith Tents of Rechabites, at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. Another Suggestion. Another use for the $50,000 hole in the ground, generally called the Lydecker tun- nel, has been suggested by a novel-think- ing citizen. He says, build the proposed Contagious disease hospital on the govern- ment farm, Conduit road, equip the tunnel with tracks and rolling stock, ventilate ‘ft properly, and carry patients to the hos- pital through this underground roadway. The various shaft holes could be used as entrances and lowering places. >— an Be Placed in a Teacup. Mrs. Henry Himmell of Sharon, Pa., gave birth a week ago to a son that weighed only one and one-fourth pounds. He has not gained an ounce since birth, but the doctors say he will live.
