When I Came to Washington the frame work was being placed in position and presented a very disorderly . appearance. " The new building is located at North Cap! and Qi.streets, Northwest. . It Is now believed that by .neVt November or De cember the Public Printer can take possession of the new office, although, many derails., will have to be attende to after that time before the struc ture can be called1 finished; . In point of floor space, as well as In, the number" of employees and the ex tent of the output, this will, be he lareest Drintlns? office in the-ivorld.

The brick and steel wails are two feet seven inches thick throughout the entire height, and the door and window frames are not of wood. but of cast Iron. Of course, the. building fa as nearly fireproof as it can be made. ." , In its construction there have been used 12.000.000 bricks. 14.000,000 pounds of steel, 2,500,000 pounds of cast iron and 45,000 barrels of cement. The main floors will be of hard maple blocks, nicely finished, but In the 'of fices the floor will be of better material and finish, ' The roof Is of tile laid in asphalt., " , The office will have fifteen elevators. Instead of water coolers a refrigerating Dlant is to be Installed, and the water after being Altered will be distributed through pipes to, numerous drinking fountains throughout the building.. In the engine room there have al ready been installed four engines, two ef 800 horse power, one of 400 and one ,' of 250. 1 i There are eight boilers of 200 I horse-power each, , . t . - xne amount appropriaea ror ims Dig building was 82.429,000. which is be ing expended under the direction of Capt, John 8.

' Of course, the capitalists who reside here, beads of departments and bureaus, and some of the best paid clerks, spend the season out of town, . Many who must remain at their desks during the heated term, remove to the seashore or mountains, going to and from their work daily. Those whose circumstances or Inclinations keep them In town, how ever, need not be wholly miserable : There are numerous suburban pleas ure resorts, easily reached by the dif ferent trolley lines, at which an even ing may be spent.
