INFLAMMATION. Oct. %. 1884

WAsnMdros, Oct. 2s, 1884
The exterior appearance OF the
White House, its design and architee'
ture, is indeed something OF nm eye
sore TO the denizens OF the National
Capital, but it is amusing TO hear OF
read Of the intimations always rife at
this season, rejecting upon the
niggardly policy Of Congress in rela'
ton 10 tho furnishing Of the mansion
for the next winter, In truth tho
interior could never bejudged correct
ly from the outside appearance. 1t
possesses all the splendor and com
fort that could well DO wished. All
the parlors, save the Blue Room and
East Room were entirely re6tted in
1881, and the latter, the great recep-
ton room OF the house, was refurnish'
ed ut that time. The following
season the Blue Room was completely
regilded, patched and Furnished, and
many general alterations and repairs
made. In short, more has been
bought for and done to the White
House in the past three years than
probably ever was done in the same
length of time is its history. or
late, sight seers have been more
restricted in visiting the Presidents
house than previously, large public
receptions have seldom been given
and the permanent occupants OF the
mansion have been fewer than ever
before. President Arthur, for in
stance, when ut the Mansion, usually
has only his little daughter with him.
and occasionally his SOD, and for a
few weeks in winter his sister and
her daughter. Still 1t costs good
deal to keep the building in ORDER
and those who wonder why it costs
so much should get peep at some
of the bills that the steward and the
Commissioner of Public buildings
have to pay.
Painting the White House alone
costs $1,000 The expense for
fuel is enormous, as the conservatory
consumes great deal of coal. The
wear and tear of the furniture in the
White House exceeds that in any
first class hotel in the land. The
dear people, to the number of 500 Or
more q day, insist upon planting
their substantial feet deep in the
Administer carpets and examining
the draperies and upholstery al hb.,
and then wonder why they wear ont
SO soon. Ii the new carpet on the
East Room, which was put down last
yAr, is already beginning to lock
worn, the cause is directly traceable
to the tramping feet Of the citizen
tourist as he marches with dazed eyes
through the glories of his Uncle
Samuel's only official residence.
The question of new Executive
Mansion has always been mooted, and
the Improvement came very neal
being authorized by the forty-seven i
congress. 1t is said now that if the
President would say the word he
could have the pleasure of initiating
a really splendid improvement; that
if he will recommend in his annual
message the construction of new
executive residence south of the pres
emf building. as provided for in the
bill which passed the Senate last year
and the transformation of the present
building into an executive office, he
can have the authority to begin the
work before February.

INVITING THE CoLoRED RACE.-It is
chiefly to Major E. A. Burke that
the credit is due for inviting the col
ored race to a representation in the
coming Worlds Exposition at New
Orleans. 1.-The idea of this dis
play" says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "is not to separate or
distinguish the colored from the
white people, but simply to show the
world what the negroes have been
doing for twenty years, and what
kind of use they have made of their
freedom. New Haven Palladium.

An Ugly

Yesterday afternoon while the relief
engine was going out to the Summit on
the Z. & p. at the rate of about 20 miles
per hour, and was nearing old Fourth
Station, an accident occurred, by which
Fireman Peter Simmons was thrown of
backwards through the opening between
the engine and the tender. A plug was
blown out, and the steam rushing back,
threw the furnace door open. The fire.
man WAS taking down and piling up a feed
of wood. The volume of steam struck him
with such force that he was toppled over
backwards off the engine. The engineer,
Mr.. Tate, retained his seat and stopped
the train as soon as possible, but NOT
before his face and hands had been
scalded. He would doubtless have
been seriously burned il he had not
been above the steam current, as II
issued through the mouth Of the
furnace, or il the speed Of the train had
been less. As it was the body of the
steam passed by under him and he was
only sprinkled with the spray that few
upwards. When the train was stopped,
the fire in the furnace was out and the en-
CINE useless. A party OF men went back
about a mile and found Simmons lying on
the track bleeding profusely from q cash
on the top of tho head which he had re.
ceived in the fall. The wound il not con-
sidered dangerous. When the velocity OF
the train at the time Simmons was thrown
off and the manner in which he fell are
considered, it is remarkable that he was
not killed outright.

George Mccullough started for one OF
his mines at Spring Valley a few days ago,
and while beating his way through the
snow, climbing the hill towards Whites
Station, was taken with cramps in his legs,
which completely disabled him. He was
compelled to lie down in the snow, almost
paralyzed with fear that he would perish
in that dreadful situation. Gathering
courage, however, he pulled off his boots
and commenced rubbing his legs. This
relieved him somewhat, and he made an
other effort to climb the hill, hoping that
he could reach the u%ntenanted station and
light a fire to warm himself by. He failed
in the effort. and again his heart misgave
him. He next commenced to retrace his
steps by dragging himself down the hill.
In the struggle he fortunately recovered
the use of his legs and found his way back
to town. He escaped with his ears FROST
bitten, but feels happy over escaping from
death.

ga CitiZen- Again.

Ed. SENTINEL: I observe that the Eu-
reks Fire Relief Committee have not
chosen to give much heed to the sugges-
ton contained in my communication the
other day. I did not speak for myself. I
can assure you. l was induced, really,
over my W no~m-de-plume, to express the
views OF a respectable number Of our
people. But as the gentlemen of the COM
mittee seem to think that a star chamber
racket suits them best, l will make an
other suggestion which surely cannot
offend them. l learn from your article
that the committee originally consisted OF
seven members, and I find, also, that
among the other four were two representa-
tive gentlemen of the clergy, Father
Monteverde and the Rev. Mr.. Gallagher.
Would the committee be offended If l, in
the name of others who think as l
do, suggest that they invite Father
Maloney and the Rev. Mr.. Woods
to act with them? These gentlemen,
in the discharge of their pastoral duties,
are as likely to come upon cases calling
for charity as the Rev. Mr.. Crawford is,
and rs much so. peahaps, as Mr.. Foley or
Mr.. Horn in the course of secular bust
ness. Ii the fre-relief fund ia going to
be disbursed in town-and l offer no OBJ
lection to this-let it be disbursed gener-
ally and in no particular quarter. The
present committee may be autocratic and
sensitive to any degree they please, but
the people OF Eureka, to relieve whose dis
tress the money was sent, would like to
see the charity put out broadcast wherever
distress prevails. Cases Of extreme need
may be known to the two clergymen
named that would never come to the
knowledge of the committee trio.

walked away with dropping tail and an air

TROUBLES.
The Track Clear Again All Along
the Line.

There was considerable anxiety around
town last night to find out about the
blockade on the E. d p. There is nothing
that so excites folks as a delayed mail.
Business, love, and everything else to move
the human breast are shut up in the ex-
press box and mail sacks. Then what
10 more interesting than the passenger list ?
Who knows the expectation that many in
Eureka feel in regard to the few travellers
headed for the Base Range from the East
and the West2 OF this, a. tender matri-
monial notice elsewhere is quite sugges-
tive. Yesterdays trouble on the L. d p.
ia about as follows: The blockade was
quite extensive on the Summit. The loco
motive and passenger car which left
Eureka Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock re-
turned here, as already reported, late
Monday night. Yesterday morning at $50
Supt. Gilman left Palisade on Q locomotive,
with IS NOV. shovelers; while q locomotive
and express car we're dispatched from this
end at noon with q force Of men TO meet
those from Palisade. The men from this
end got no further than the Old Fourth
Station when their engine gave out. They
walked from that point seven or eight
miles and met the Palisade outfit. The
shoyelers went to work with a will,
and about 6 o'clock in the evening the
track was clear. The whole force shortly
afterwards started for Eureka. the played
out engine being In tow, and arrived in
town q few minutes before s o'clock last
evening. The road is all clear now and
no further trouble is apprehended. Un-
less something very unexpected happens
the four days accumulated mail and ex-
press matter will arrive tonight at the
usual hour. For these particulars We are
Indebted to W. s. Mcclellan, who relieved
Mr.. Spinner at the wires at 8 O'Clock last
night, in order to keep up communication
with Palisade, to get any news possible
from that end of the line, and TO be in
readiness to extend any orders that might
De necessary. As indicated, however,
there was no need for telegraphing. All
Is lovely again. Supt. Gilman and his
employees have worked hard and faithfully
and suffered terrible hardships since the
trouble began and they deserve credit for
bringing things to this happy issue.

Charley Graham & Co. are in daily ex-
pectation OF striking ore in the Page and
Corwin mine at Secret Canyon.
The ore vein lately discovered on the 10
level of the Connolly mine is improving
both in size and quality. 1t is now three
feet thick.
The Pooley brothers, who are running

contract, struck a good quality OF ore on
Monday. 1t carries fine chloride and
black metal.
There are six men working at the Fair
Play mine, Pinto District, taking out ore

George Storey came in yesterday from
Pinto District in a sleigh, and reports the
road in a tolersbly passable condition. He
has been steadily prospecting for ore in
the Forrow mine on South Alhambra
Hill. He struck ore in a vertical shaft at
q depth Of rs feet. The vein ON being
crosscut proved to be six feet thick, the
ore asssying from $32 to $58 per ton. 1t

A Potato o r

The potato, originally South American
plant, was introduced into Virginia by
Sir John Harvey in 1929, though it was
unknown in some countries of England
$50 years later. In Pennsylvania, potatoes
are mentioned very soon after the advent
of the Quakers; they were not among New
York products in 1895, but in ITS We are
told Of IL 900 bushels grown on one
16-acre patch in this province. Potatoes
were served, perhaps an exotic rarity. at a
Harvard installation dinner in 1907; but
the plant was only brought into culture
in New England at the arrival of the Pres
byterian Immigrants from Ireland, in
1718. Five bushels we're accounted a
large crop Of potatoes for a Connecticut
farmer; for it was held that. if a nan ate
them every day, he could not live beyond
seven years.
