THE NEW BOOK,

“Thirty years in Washington, or Life and scenes in our National Capital,” This work is published with the consent and aid of the Government, and it is said to be, and probably is, the most beautifully illustrated volume ever published in America. It portrays the wonderful operations in all the great departments And describes every important function of our National Government. It contains the life of every president from Washington to Roosevelt, and also of their wives, and of every famous woman who has ever reigned in the White House. It is written by Mrs. John A. Logan, the Widow of MajorGeneral Logan, who for over thirty years was one of the most influential senators in Washington. For more than thirty years Mrs. Logan has resided in Washington. As a leader of society she has always been a privileged person at the White House. By reading this book one can spend days in the President’s private office and watch the crowd of anxious office-seekers, and set by the President as be inspects his daily mail with its numberless odd requests, its begging letters, etc. We also spend day after day in the United States treasury where we see thousands of busy women at their novel and interesting work; We can learn how

Uncle Sam’s money is made; we also visit the rooms of the United States secret service, where the keenest detectives in the world are employed; we visit the deadletter office, and its marvels and mysteries are folly explained as we witness the opening and inspecting of the “dead!’ mail of over 23,000 dead-letters daily; we visit in fact every place of interest, including the patent office —that place of American inventive genius and skill.
