Mrs. President Harrison,s Boudoir.

One does not wonder that every mis-
tress Of the White House chooses one or
the other Of the two oblOng south rooms
for her boudoir, for Of all the private
apartments they are the contest and most
homelike. They are no longer than the
bedroom in a three thousand dollar cot
tage and could easily be slowed in one
corner Of the state bedrooms. Mrs. Har-
rison has the one at the southwest cor
ner and she has it ~charnningly fitted up.
She lives in it more than in any other
room, and has her desk, where she writes
so many letters, there at the broad WIN
dow. The desk is Of rosewood and much
more business like than a lady's desk
usually Is. AT mail time Mrs. Harrison
sits there for an hour o. two giving per-
sonal attention 70 the scores Of letters she
receives. Near her is q small table CON
tanning pictures Of her children and
grandchildren, and down the length Of
one side are tall wardrobes containing
the dresses Of the mistress Of the White
House.-Miss Grundy, Jr.

TRAGEDY IN THE CAB.
Fireman RhOadhouse Clears the Bloody

Fireman Rhoadhouse Clears the Bloody
Mystery by Confesslng That He Killed
Engineer vandevnnder.
Sam Rhoadhouse, the fireman Of the
wild train which arrived at Van Vert,
o., Friday night, after three days and
nights of terrible mental agony and
fear, has confessed to killing Mat Van.
devander, the engineer who was mur.
dered at the throttle of his engine. At
Franklin he said the engineer came at
him, and in a fierce manner with an
oath, said: II am going to do you up
meaning that he was going to kill him,
but Rhoadhouse managed to keep out OF
his way, and finally thought his danger
was over, until they gota short distance

Of Van Vert, when he again said to him:

struck him powerful blow on the side

in the same place. Rhoadhouse then
said he took the hammer in both of his
hands and struck the engineer with all
his force upon the head. He soon raj.
lied from this blow, and made anothe,v

ielled him to the floor of the cab,
as he thought, dead. By this time they
we're near Van Vert and, looking out
of the window, Rhoadhouse saw the
Pittsburgh track was clear, and, on tho
spur of the moment, decided to take the
risk of crossing and run into the yard.
Before they reached Van Vert, how.
ever, it seems that he had already de.
cded upon the course he would pursue,
and placed Vandevander upon his box
near the throttle This part of the
testimony is substantated by the condi.
tion of the fireman's clothing which he
wore on the engine. They were covered
with great splotches of blood, such
as might have been caused by the
handling of a heavy bloody figure. After
the train passed the crossing Rhoad-
house said he saw the engineer mako
Il move, as If to sit up, when he again
grasped the bloody hammer and struck
him another powerful blow upon the
head, which quieted him. When the
two men were taken from the cab of tho
wrecked engine both were supposed to
be unconscious, but the story is evident
ly not true in regard to the fireman, who
as good as confessed that he feigned in
sensibility, as he was afraid If he ac-
knowledged the killing of his engineer
he would be lynched by the friends of
the dead man. He was taken to the
hotol, where his wounds were dressed.
He appeared to be insensible until the
next morning, when he told the story

NEW TRUST IN SIGHT.

The Plate-Glass Men Dallylng With En-
glishmen to Form IA Trust The Senate
Committee Helps the scheme By In
creased Duties-Enorm III, Profit, of the
Industry. and Its Enormous Cost to the
Country.
One fact by itself may not be interest
ing; but two facts which are related to
one another may be of high interest to
us Especially if these two facts are
brought to our notice at the same time
from independent sources.
Here is striking example in point.
The Senate Finance Committee makes
its report giving reasons for the changes
in the Tariff bill. In regard to the in
creased duty on plate-glass the commit
tee says: The additional duty imposed
by the proviso in this paragraph is made
necessary to encourage the domestic
manufacture of more expensive class
of goods which is now being imported"
That is one fact 1t goes into the
newspapers; but ON the very day when
it appears other papers are printing a
dispatch from Pittsburgh about "A Big
Plate-Glass Synd cate'-which is only
another name for trust. The dispatch
says: John Pitcairn, of the Pittsburgh
Plate-Glass Company is in England ne
gotiating for the close of options on all
the plate-glass concerns in the United
States"
The dispatch then goes on to enlarge
upon the highly prosperous condition
and rosy outlook of our pate-glass in
dustry: The business has assumed
enormous proportions and the profits of
the Pittsburgh concern alone are not far
from 81, 900, 900 a year. Besides seeking
to control existing factories, the En-
glishmen have also joined in the cree
ton of new plant at Irwin, Pa, for
which site was secured on Monday.
Irwin is about eighteen miles from
Pittsburgh on the Pennsylvania rail
roads main line. This plant will be
the largest OF the kind in the world and
its erection is necessary to supply the
demand for plate glass. The Pittsburgh
company, whose output last year was
about Il, ,000,O 600 feet, is still working on
orders received last year, and is behind
on its contract at that, so that it is con-
sidered that the future of the trade in
America is full of promise
Put those two facts together and they
become extremely interesting-the SEN
ate committee bolstering up an indus
try at the same time that single fac
tory of that industry is clearing almost
$1,000, 900 year, and when that indus
try is carrying on negotiations with En-
glish capitalists in order to form a trust
and add still further to their enormous
profits!
Tariff making is verify curious
game!
We imported last year Sl,llS, 4Ss
worth of plate-glass, not including sill
vered plates for mirrors In other words,
our importations were but slightly in
excess of ths net profits of this single
Pittsburgh establishment The high
tariff ON plate-glass crushed out several
years ago the last of the foreign houses
in New York which imported it; and
the Senate comes forward with its hum
bug pretense of increasing the duty in
order TO give more effective protection

SAVED BY A BRACE.
Fireman's Heroic Rescue of an In
FAINT on the Track.
Drawn to the Stalwart Railroader's Bosom
While the Train Is Running at
Terrific Speed.

Fireman William Thursby, employed
on the North Shore Division OF the
Long Island railroad, performed a cool
headed act of daring which saved the
life of little child and sent thrill
through those who witnessed his per-
formance. The train due at Flushing
at S25 p. m. was laundering along on
time. Suddenly as the ponderous
machine rushed around a curve the
engineer espied number of children
playing on the track at tho Lawrence
street crossing, and one little child
was directly in the path of the train,
unndndful OF harm. The engineer,
showed home the throttle, reversed
his engine and opened his sand box.
The motion attracted the attention Of
Thursby, and he, too, saw the position.
1t was impossible to stop in time; the
engineer saw 1t and shuddered. Thursby
realized it, and quick as thought rushed
out along the running board of the loco
motive, and swinging down onto the
pilot he grabbed brace with one hand
and, leaning out in front Of the engine,
he lifted the child out of harms way
and gathered it tohis breast as the train
thundered along over the spot where the
innocent little prattler had been playing.

Through the Running Away of u

A special dispatch from Cape May
says: Mrs. Harrison had a narrow escape
from severe injury when riding through
Washington street. As. the Prcsiden-
tial carriage, which contained Mrs, Har-
rison, Mrs. Mckee and Baby Mckee, was
passing Washington and Decatur streets
q lad in dog cart whipped up his horse
and attempted to pass the Harrison car
riage. In his excitement the boy lost con-
troll of the horse, which gave a sudden
lurch and struck an electric light pole.
The now thoroughly frightened animal
dashed up the street at a full gallop.
The boy tugged at the lines manfully,
but without avail. As Mrs, Harrison's
carriage approached Decatur street the
runaway horse dashed ahead madly, and
barely missed oyerturning the White
House family in the crowded avenue.
Passing the Harrison vehicle tho
animal, now frenzied, plunged
upon the pavement in front Of
Kennedy's pharmacy, breaking an iron
awning post and demolishing the glass
of big show window. The conclusion
threw the horse to the ground, where it
lay kicking and bleeding. At the sight
of blood Mrs Mckee tainted, and there
was then a general rush of pedestrians
to give the lady assistance. Before SER
vice was proiierod, however, Mrs. Nc
Kee rallied, and the careful White House
coachman had whipped up his horses
and turned their heads towards the cot
tage at the point.
