to ruin It, nrchltocturally speaking. It is said to bo tho most perfect cxninplo of Greek art In this country, but tho treasury department had to have moro room, and so they unpinned tho roof and shoved It up soma on the sides and inado a llttlo moro room skyward. The state, war nnd navy build lng always was hideous, being what Is called Italian renaissance, and not at all Bulted to tho solid, last-forever necessities of tho United States government, and it looks an tawdry as possible when brought, as It is, into Juxtaposition with tho Whito Houso and tho simplicity of tho Greek temple of Onanco. When tho building was put up which was to houso the United States postal department and tho city post office some architects planned a sort of Cologne Cathedral building, which is a long ways off from being big enough for either department and doesn't match anything In the government building lino in Washington. After thlB structure was put up there was a reform in Ideas for government buildings, and since then they havo been along tho stately, substantial line. The finest recent examples of theso are found in tho splendid whito marble buildings constructed for the house and senate ofllco buildings, which have for tho central figure tho beautiful white marblo nntlonnl capitol, with the congressional library and Its gilded domo in tho foreground.

tho latter, tho Alms will show the fnrmer trying to carry loads of produco over a bad road; how he became sick; how tho doctor Is unable to reach him, and how, becauso of the mud ruts, tho undertaker finds it exceedingly difficult to get him to his grave.

Assets Recovered was recovered, and from John F. Gaynor $29,051.05. Most of tho assets of Captain Carter wero in trust funds. They were traced to and corralled in tho bands of receivers for tho estate of Captain Carter. Theso trust funds Included real estate, bonds, stocks and cash. Tho government made attachment In this caso. Of tho $501,S55.39 recovered from tho Carter concealed assets tho Supreme Court of tho United States allowed $111,054.28 for Carter's counsel expenses. All tho proceedings in the courts in tho Carter caso havo been terminated, but all of tho assets turned over to tho government havo not been converted Into cash. Tho total amount of cash in the Carter assets turned in is $227,S52. The balanco Is in real cstato in New York and New Jersey, and certain securities in Georgia. They now are In process of being sold. In every caso tho assets corralled had been transferred by Greene, Gaynor and Carter to other persons or hold by persons for them In concealment Tho tracing of tho assets was most difficult.
