STILLWATER
It tr icd to storm but did it?
Mr. B. Reavois mail carier
TnB YooTu'a Companion,
X44 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass
PMiI! lclet imce Batfdlnft.
When Congress convonccs In Doc
ember the two magnltlclont ofllcc
buildings dosigncd for tho use of the
members will have been completed.
Tho officers of the Representatives
were in fact used last spring but the
Senate otllces begun a year lator wero
not ready for occupancy, and the Sen
ators will have their first experience
In them tills winter. The latter oillce
building lies to the north of tho Cap
itol and Is connected with an under
ground passage. It Is a beautiful
white marble building which will cost
the Government four million of dollar
It will have every modern enliven
iencus of an ollleo building.
The interior is finished in umrhlo
and mahogany anp while tin; olllces
will bo elegantly furnished, tho
general effect will bo severe, rather
than 'luxurious. For many years thoro
has been much complaint about the
croweed quarters allowed tho Senators
in tho Captlol. Senator Guggonhein
of Colorado who is rich enough to
buy tho Capitol if it wero on tho
market had two llttlo dark rooms in
tho basumjnt last winter. Thoy
were tho ones vacated by Senator
Clark of Montana who was tho richest
man who ever sat in the Senate.
Of course older and abler Senators
fared bet ter and among these there
are not a few who are grumbling
about leaving the old aud convenient
quarters in the Capitol- They protest
that thev will be farther from their
work and more inacessible to their
constituents Othors who have been
housed in an old brick building origi
nally erected for u hotel, across the
street from tho Captiol are delighted
at the prospect of a chauge The
Senato as a whole, of spoken of ill tho
milllonlar club is not such a pampered
luxurv loying body as it is often rep
resented to be. The majority of tho
men aro there for work and about all
they demaud In an olDco is light und
air and an desk. It would not do to
furnish them -common oak furniture
but if a voto were taken it would
probably develop un agreement of
opinion 'that It in as hard to writo a
speech on a mahogany desk as on a
pine table. As for that the oflicos
aro plain In spite of their richness and
it is only in tho rotunda and some of
t ho audience rooms that there Is any
conspicuous docoration. Tho houso
of Representatives ofllcers on tho
opposite of tho square in front of the
Capitol are also groped in a splendid
white marble building and as that
body is so much largor than the Sen
ate the building is erected on all four
sides of a court instead of on three
sides only as in the case with the
Senato offices. Some of the readers
of this letter perhaps had occasions,
ten or twelve years ago to look up the
membnr from his district. If so ho
will remember the small corner set
aside in tho reception hall for this
purpose. It was marked off from the
rest of the chamber simply by tho
backs of the sofas which furnished it.
There wero twoor throo tables in it.
When members of tho houso receives a
cuid he came to this corner and the
visitor stood in tho prosenco of all tho
other visitors and related why he had
come. Tho contrast botweon this and
tho new quarters, though it has been
modified by some years occupancy, of
reception rooms in tho Capitol building
is nevertheless very conspicuous both
to members of Congress and to their
visitors.
