Early Presidential Hospitality.

Lippincotts Magazine.
President Jackson's table manners were
as Democratic as could be desired. He had
at each plate two forks, one of which was
of silver and the other of steel. The presi-
dent always used steel fork for himself,
and after his dinner he always smoked his
tobacco from a long-handled corncob pipe.
Andrew Jackson entertained lavishly on
the night Of his first Inauguration. The
carpets of the East room were ruined by
the orange punch and Lemonade which were
served to the crowd which came
to his reception. Barrels of this
punch were made and it was brought
into the room III buckets. At last
the people began to rush for the walters as
soon as they entered the room. Glasses
were broken and ladies' dresses ruined.
Tubs of punch were finally taken into the
garden, and in this way the Thong was
drawn off and it was possible to serve cake
and wine to the ladies. At JackSon'S fare
well reception monster cheese, as big as a
hogshead in circumference and nearly a
yard thick, was cut out with saw blades
made into knives and served out to the
guests. Each guest received three pounds
of cheese. The event was the talk of the
nation. and when Van Buren, became presi-
dent his New York friends, cumulative of
Jackson. sent him big cheese. 1t was
cut up in the East room. The greasy crumbs,
falling upon the carpet, were trampled into
it, and the runation of the furniture
during these two administrations led the later
presidents to discontinue the practice of
serving eatables at general receptions. Now
no guest comes to dinner at the White
house unless invited. In Van Buren's day
Bacourt, in his Souvenirs dun Diplomat"
says that the presidents cook told his valet
that for several months preceding the cleo
ton of 1910 many persons arrived at the
White house for breakfast or dinner. and
threatened to vote against Van Buren, if
they were not entertained. The cook stated
that he had all the trouble possible in
satisfying them, and they often returned
what he sent out, doing so on the preteXt
that it was UNBEATABLE, and ordered some

Senator Blackburn.
WASHINGTON Critic.

washington CrlllC.
AS before announced in this column, Sen
ator Blackburn, the genial Joe, is power
full talker. Some years ago. when Mr..
Blackburn was candidate for congress,
there was to be public hanging in his dis
trict with thousands in attendance and he
was among the distinguished guests, and
was OIL the platform with the condemned
and such newspaper men as had survived
the climate of Kentucky. The drop was to
occur at - o'clock noon, and ten minutes
before that time the sheriff asked the hangee
if he had anything to say.
mo, l haven't" he answered, in a surly
tone, for he was bad.
Then Mr. Blackburn rose.
''Mr. Sheriff." he said, with all his suav-
ity and grace. Il ask the gentleman to
yield me his unexpired time, as 1 have a
few remarks to make on a question of great
political interest"
The sheriff turned to his customer. "Well,
may the gentleman speak?" he asked.
mot much" he replied. with a growl.
"Let the performance go on. I'd d-n
sight rather be hung than be talked to
DEATH"
The performance went On, and the fu-
ture senator corraled the crowd later.

CONTEST CASES.
Commissioners Lennon on Top--The
Legislative Contest.

A. L. Lennon triumphantly flourished
his certificate of election as the county
commissioner from the First district, yes
terday afternoon, the result of the recent
contest. ''It came hard, but got there, :"
he said, land have just been sworn in in spite
of j. H. Gilmore and his seven attorneys"
This ends the first case of contested election
in Hennepin county. Lennon made the
contest. we'll backed up by the fact that
two precincts, both Democratic, were
omitted from the official count S. j. Bar
low also contested the election of DR.. Ii.
w. Brazie on the same ground, and won in
the same way.
The Snder- Gross legislative contest was
resumed yesterday morning, and the testi-
mony of one witness was taken. j. G.
Williams deposed as to the manner of the
recount, giving the result which has already
been published in the GLOBE. The only
thing now left to be done is to prepare the
whole matter for submission to the legis-
Iatiye committees to which the matter will
be referred The recount shows Merrill to
have been elected, and while he made no
contest, he is fully entitled to the seat, if
Gross is not The Republican legislature
will probably. as usual. look to influence
and social position. and give Capt. Snider
the seat.

Friday morning, after claiming that her
husband had killed her, met again yester-
day morning and listened to number of
witnesses, A verdict that the woman came
to her death from the effects OF an abortion
performed by herself was returned. This
fact was clearly set forth by the testimony
of the physicians who made the post-mortem
examination. While there was no doubt
that the woman's husband, Benjamin Rad
clifie. had used her in most brutal man
ner. it could not be proved that the blows
inflicted by him caused her death. There
was sufficient testimony introduced, how
ever, to show, that Radcliffe is one of the
worst brutes in the city. On one occasion.
while out riding with his wife, he accused
her of infdelity, and on her denying it,
turned the horse toward home. saying that
he would, when he reached there, skill
her, cut her in little pieces, and burn her
or else bury her in the cellar"

PRINCE FAILS TO DO 1T.
Dingley Proves to Much for Him
With a Quarter Mile Start.

Dfnsley Proves to Much for Him
with a Quarter Mile Start.
The cold weather again knocked out the
heating apparatus at Washington rink. and
interfpred with the 100-mile race between
]. L. Prince and Frank E. Dingley. 1t
was $40 before a start could be made, and
the men decided to make it fifty miles.
Prince gave Dingley One-fourth of mile
start and they started off at rapid pace.
Prince attempted to take up lap on the
thirteenth mile, but the Minneapolis boy
. was too fast for him. Prince made squirt
on the eighteenth mile, and by the hardest
of work he had wiped out one lap OF the lead
when the twentieth mile was reached. The
rink was decidedly too cold for comfort.
but the men made twenty miles IN one hour,
four minutes. ten seconds. Dingley set the
pace I'D to the twenty-SecOnd mile, except
on the fourth mile, which Prince MADE.
Dingley made the twenty ffth mile III one
hour. twenty-one minutes. During the
next ten miles very rapid pace was MAIN
tanned. the thirty-ffth mile being covered
bv Dingley in one hour. fifty-four minutes.
Prince began squirting for his second lap on
the thirty-sixth mile, but Frank quickly
closed the slight gap and followed the
leader close. The rink kept growing colder
through the evening" and it is wonder the
men were able to keep the pace they did.
At the end of the second hour thirty-seven
miles had been covered.
The forty-fiftL mile was finished in two
hours. twenty eight minutes and fifteen
sections. and from this to the close the rid
ing was swift prince spurted twice for
the lead but could not close the gap, though
he lessened it half a lap. Dingley won the
race in two hours. fOrty-tive minutes and
fifteen seconds, which is remarkably good
time, considering the low temperature.
After the finish both men complained of
suffering from the cold, being very stiff and
sore from its effects.
