at the newly built federal city on the
banks of the Potomac. Mrs. Adams
was the first | residents wife to occupy
the executive mansion. On New
Years Day OF 1901 she received with
her husband the officials of the govern
nent and society of the infant capital
The residence of Mrs. Adams at the
executive mansion vas but brief. Her
husbands first election was by a Dare
majority, and his defeat for reelection
limited his residence at Washington to
four months. In that time, however,
Mrs. Adams left the impress OF lei
strong individu ility upon the social IN
stitutions of the capital and III on the
domestic surroundings Of the presl-
iential Office to IL greater degree than
did the Presiden; upon the official sur
roundlngs of the cfice. Mrs. Adams
inaugurated the social custome estao'
lished by Mrs. ~ashington In New
York and continued i'll Philadelphia,
and which have leen practically al
hered to ever since. Among the IL
dies OF the executive manson Mrs.
Adams will always hold a prominent
place as a woman of extraordinary
mental force andt a knowledge OF
public events beyond the average
standard of men In public life.

Oycrworkcd Pall-Bcarcrs.

There are men in Atlanta who carry
a helpless arm at their sides as the re-
suit of acting as pall-bearers at the
funeral OF a friend. A metallic casket
weighs about five hundred pounds;
with q mans body enclosed over SIX
hundred pounds. The handles by
which the casket Is carried are awk-
wardly placed and cruel to the hand.
Pail bearers as a rule are men of sed-
entary life and unaccustomed to lift
Ing heavy weights. By carrying I'M
evenly, the larger weight Of the coffin
Is often thrown on n a He will
not drop 1t, and the result is an arm
permanently sprained. 1t Is notorious
that two or three pail bearers at each
funeral suffered from the effect of it
for DAYS afterward. What should be
done is this: Every undertaken should
have four trained men to carry the
coffin. These could do it easily and
| without the delay incident to the pres.
, ent method. The pall-bearerS, wearing
badges and Grape, could follow the
coffin walking, as testimony OF their
love for the deceased and sympathy for
the family. The change hight be a
shock at first, but the undertaken who
inaugurates the custom will prevail a;
