lug that membcra of the upper and lower
touaea were working overtime and, there
fore, entitled to an Increase of salary,
It waa Intimated that 15.000 was an In
significant sum for the service rendered.
Members were unable to make both ends
meet. Living was high, and high living
costs money. To lend an atmosphere of

triotlo members went down Into their

Things are not as bad as they have
'been pictured. There are some compens -tlons
besides the cash well calculated to
amellorlate the hard conditions exhibited
by press agents. That there are some
attractions connected with the job of law
making ts Impressively suggested by the
fact that "few die and nono resign." All
lite suftVrers of the last session who
rould obtain the domination are In the
running. What the attractions are which
cause the sacrifice of ease aud means to
ituty urn outlined by a correspondent of
the Buffalo express. In part ho writes:
A glimpse at the luxuries generally fur
alKhed to themselves by congressuion out
of the popple's funds may explain, why
congresktnvn are eo anxious to rera'.i .lie
Jvbs which pay them only 15,000 a year,
and demand nearly a much In order to
secure re-election. They receive more
than $5,000, when comfort and luxury are
considered. In no country In the world
Is the legislative body housed with such
imperial disregard of expense. Congress
Is not satisfied with the accommodations
that have served for nearly a century, and
Is building two marble palaces adjacent to
the capltol, where prodigal expenditure Is
being made to Insure the bodily. comfo.U
of the lawmakers.
Kach of these palaces will cost about
17,000,000, ' furnished. ' The furniture has
not yet been selected, but It will be of
day labor under the direction of tho sap
erlntendent of the capitol, who has every
incentive to please his only masters, ihe
senate and the house. ' These great ex
penditures are made by congress without
regard to other branches of the government.
Until the new buildings are . ready.
congressmen must struggle along uuuer
the hardships of life "under the dome, '
as the capltol Is sometimes described. Of
course, there ts no comparison between
present conditions and those which will
prevail when the palaces of legislation have
been completed and stored with their treus
uies of Pension fugs, marble baths, statues.
frosted globes, fountains, mural paintings,
mahogany desks, leather couches, velvet
carpets, and so on. But public men man
age to extract a little comfort from their
present surroundings, after all. assisted as
they are by an army of flunkeys and a
force of workmen who are forever altering,
repairing and Improving the ancient capltol.
The new congressman Is a little taken
aback when he flrst experiences the pleas
ures of Ufa under the dome. This is be
cause he was not fully "onto the ropes."
After, he Is sworn In, he Is mighty apt In
learning all about Us perquisites. He di
covers that the stationery-room is operand
that beautiful Chrliuinas gifts may be pur
chased there for a trifle, lie finds a credit
of at this place, ready to be blown in.
He is obsequiously addressed by old, diplo
matic servitor, who take bia overcoat and
hat and show him the way to the barber
aliop. There expert barbers givetv him
cordially, shave him, cut his rustic locks.
give him an electric shampoo and a inas
sage, snd hand him over to the keeper of
the baths.
These baths are Uie joy of a congress
"man serving hit flrst term. He frequents
them Qftener than he ever dallied with the
tub and tea kettle in the old home kitchen
of a Saturday night.' He finds the same
kind, old servant ready to help him. He
la assisted in dlvcetlng himself of his gar
ments, and his faltitful helper an old
darky, who Is carried on the rolls as a la
borerwraps him In a big, creamy Turkish
towel. He proceeds along the warm mar
ble floor to the gigantic basin called a
bath tub. It Is a solid block of whltlest
marble, voluptuously carved into a bath,
and fitted wHh gleaming silver faucets,
through which gushes filtered hot or cold
water. The attendant looks after the water
supply, produces a fresh cake of expensive
soap for the bather and proceeds to. initiate
him.
These baths, massage treatments, barber
shops, etc., are maintained at the expense
of the people of the I mted but.:.
are about twenty exquisitely fitted bath
rooms on the house side of the capltol,
esoh with Its attendant ready to administer
the poppy of repose to the weary states
man, without money and without price, ex
cept for the occasional tip. There are Rus
sian, Turkish, Roman and Swedish bat,hing
arrangements, all administered by skilled
attendants, who do nothing els and who
are described officially as laborers, mes
sengers or clerks. 8ome of these bath at
tendant are paid liberal salaries, but
through the method adopted by congress In
paying them it is Impossible to tell what
they get. One of the old-time attendants,
who developed especial skill, and who re
cently died, leaving a comfortable fortune,
la supposed to have received H,a00 a year
In salary and tip. ' '
King; la Cassmlttee Rooms.
In his committee-room the lawgiver reign
a little king. He sits at a solid mahogany
desk with antique bras trimmings. His
rhalr Is big, roomy, and softly upholstered,
either In leather or velvet.' Oa the wells
of the finer rooms are paintings, the wor
of gifted artists brought to Washlngtoi
especially for the purpose of 'adorning
the wall with,, their art. . Occasionally
when an especially fine painting Is In nert1
of a aielter. the Podunk congressman find?
a plaee for it on the walls of hi committee
room. Borne of. these paintings are th
erork mt American masters for which cou
gress paid as high as $25,000. They repre
sent inspiring scenes . from the national
history, artfully calculated to arouse the
smoldering fires of patriotism In the breast
of lawmaker.
Sometime the wife at a member wishes
to shine a little socially, at small expense.
Then he works the graft of the Botanic
Gardens. A government employe drives
to the member's house in a government
wagon and deposits a load of choice cut
flowers, potted plants, etc., from the gov
ernment gardens. After the dinner, she
enhances her reputation for charity by
sending the flowers to .the pool. In the
course of a winter Influential legislators
sometimes obtain thousands of dollar'
worm ox nowers irum . im
without expending a cent.
If the feast of good things should up
set the congressman, he languidly touches
tho bell at hi desk, and sends his faith
ful colored messenger to the sergeant-alarms,
wltfj a request for some medicine.
The sergeanl-at-arma keeps himself solid
with the lawmakers by looking after their
bodily health. In order to do this he must
have a good assortment of drugs, and, of
course, the government foots the bill. There
are pills gaiore, bromo seltxer, oulnlne.
calomel and a hundred other remedies
prescribed by physicians. If a member
should be seriously and suddenly 111, there
1 usually among hi calleaguea a prac
ticing piyslclan, who prescribes for him
at government expense.
Fetare Fall of Promise. '
When the new house and senate pal'
tees are completed, there will be a bet
ler opportunity for the sergeant-at-arm
to carry out his plan for the comfort of
the lawmaker. He la cramped now. but
then he will have everything handy,' In
the flrst place, each member will then have
a atately office, atted with new mahegany
furniture, coatly rugs and paintings. There
will be 410 of these offices Id the : bouse
palace, and the senate palace will contain
ninety-nine suites of two room erctt. A
eimtor office will be Kx2 feet, with high
celling, and hi secretary will struggle
along In a . room 12x26 feet In slse. The
dining room will be thirty feet wile and
lxty-flv feet long, two stories la .height.
with an ornate eliptlcal ceiling. Th house
.nlng room will be the same also, on the
econd floor, with a ceiling two stories
high. The dining room will be finished in
ornamental plaster, with paintings and
sculpture. It will overlook the library of
congress.
In each building will be a great ro
tunda, not as large a the capitol ro
tunda, but more sichly designed, with
eglumna of pure white marble, appropriate
statuary . and mural decoration. Heavy
marble intramural stairways will add rich
ness to the effect and twelve elevator
will be provided.
From the house palace to the capltol.
and thence to the .senate palace will be
a subway with a complete 'electric, tram
way system, supplied with luxurious little
cars for the use of the lawmakers. The
careworn member from Podunk, if he
wishes to escape the Importunities of his
constituents can descend in an elevator,
step into an upholstered car and be whisked
across to the capitol or the senate palace.
There he can emerge in another elevator
nearly a quartet of a mile away frqm hl
tormentors. The public at large will, of
course, be excluded from the tramway. Tho
subway will be richly tiled, ventilated and
warmed by the same power that propels
the trams, and brilliantly lighted.
Warm la Wlater, Cool la Sammer.
A new power house, designed to ven
tilate, light and heat the capltol and two
legislative palaces. Is now being constructed
several squares distant at a cost of $2.0uO,OUO.
All the appliance will be underground.
With the new power house completed the
capitol will be overhauled and a new ven
tilating system Installed, which will heat

and In warm weather cool air will be
forced Into the myriad of rooms. The

without regard to expense and dispensed

wishes a stick in it, he has merely to

rare aid Bourbon, rye, Scotch and various
liquor ar nestled. Sometimes plebeian
beer Is preferred, and it la always forth-

"CHICAGO'S EGG FOUNDRY
Food Inspectors Flad m Plaat Where
the A orient Article Was
t Made Good,
Foul smelling egfrs, "reprocessed" and
converted Into a powder for un In cakm
and pies, were placed under official bun I.
Chicuro when deputies under Food In
spector Murray raided one of the manu
facturing plants at 1 Michigan avenue,
destroyed the product and took out war
rants for the arrest of Barney Ki I bourne
and Harry Thornberg, alleged proprietors
of the establishment. This action was
taken following the discovery that tho traf
fic, was being conducted in Chicago and
that large establishments all over the
country were being supplied.
The raid on the plant for "remaking" eggs
was not accomplished without difficulty. A
system of bolt and lock, blocking the
entrance to secret doors, had to be solved
before the Inspectors could reach the
rooms In which the work was being carried
on, and then the stench waa so strong that
they had difficulty In entering the room.
The handling of theeggs Is accomplished
on the third floor of the building behind
locked doors. When the Inspectors en
tered two girls were employed In breaking
the eggs Into cans. The, contents of these
were dumped Into a separator, and after
the shells had been extracted the mlrfture
waa removed to the fourth IWr, where
the condenser is located. This consists of
rolls half immersed In vats, partially I in
mersed In the egg mixture. These rolls are
kept at a high temperature and as they re
volve the egg batter clings to them and Is
'dried out.' Iter this is ovruped off and
placed In packages for sale la the trade.
The inspector assert that the many
locked doors served the duitble purpose of
keeping th sleuth Inside aud th iiiqui
Itlve ones outside. To the uninitiated the
smell of decayed egg was almost over
powering and the Inspectors remained only
long enough to dentroy al. of the mixture
they could llnd. This was accomplished by
sprinkling It liberally with kerosene.
Information obtained by the Inspectors
waa to the effect that great secrecy wrt
observed in shipping the finished product,
and that the package contained no labels
by which the manufacturers could be Identi
fied. The same plan was used with ref
erence to the consignee, the Initials only
being used.
The warrants which were' secured for th
two proprietors of the plant charge them
wun onenng ror sale "one lot of eggs. Im
pure, unwholesome and adulterated, until
or human food and Dreludlrlnl to ti. ,,i-
!lc health."
Representatives of the manufacturer
hastened to give out a Mateniont in ,hi..h
they denied that other than wholesome
eggs entered Into the manufacture of the
powuer. tney asserted that the manu
facture had been going on In Chicago for
ten years and that frequent analyses of
the product had been made with the result
that It had been declared pure and wholesome.
