at you his back is turned toward the door of
the room in which the Cabinet meets. This
man is Sergeant Loeffler. He is the Presi-

almost score of years. He is in a measure

President, Secretary Blaine and the other
Ministers stand while they discuss inter-
national questions. The Cabinet meets
here about every other day, and they usual

room is OF such nature that it cannot be
used for anything else than tie meetings of
the Cabinet, and it is business Office pure

Cabinet meetings for several administra-
tions, though President Lincoln used to
hold his Cabinet meetings in the room now
used by Colonel Halford.

WASHINGTON, March 29.
The White House to-day is like big
hotel and President Harrison is the land
lord. Every man and woman who comes to
Washington thinks he has a right to enter
his house without knocking. They tramp
over his carpets with their muddy boots,
ask all sorts Of impudent questions of his
servants, and the chances are that they carry
away a bit OF the furniture. Every now
and then a piece as big as your hand is
clipped out of one of the lace curtains by a
relic hunter. and during President Lincoln's
time a woman was caught in the very act of
cutting the costly curtains of the East
room. She cried when she was found out
and she was taken up weeping to the Presi-
dents room. Mr.. Lincoln looked at her
sorrowfully and told her the best thing she
could do was to leave the city. 1t is the
s2me with the cushions of the furniture, and
BY no means safe to let sightseers move about
save under the eve OF guide. These
guides are the Presidents servants, and
they have all they can do TO keep the crowds
out of the most private parts Of the house.
Not inirequently visitors want to see the
kitchen and ali the home life that Mrs.
Harrison gets must come from little space
on the second floor.
The Presidents grounds cover many
acres, and the White House covers a third
Of an acre. 1t is a long rectangular almost
Equatty two-story structure with a wide
porte cochere having a floor as big as that
OF the average two-story house. The porte
cochere is upheld by ionic columns as big
sround as the largest oaks Of the forest, and
its roof supported bv these is of the Grecian
order. Around the roof of the White House
there is

NO BUSINESS MAN WOULD STAND IT.
The President of the United States never
| gets through with his work and there ought
| to be some arrangement by which he could
get away for a certain time during the day
from the care of his office. He ought not to
have to eat aud to sleep bathed in the per-
spiration of ofice-seeking applications and
there is no other business man in the United
States who would endure the environments
of our President.
The attic of the White House might be
supposed to furnish some room. 1t does not.
The roof is 80 low in most places that you
cannot stand upright under it. all the
light comes from the skylights, and the
place is fit for nothing but lumber room.
In it are stored President Harrison s trunks,
baby McKee's cast-off clothes and the old
furniture of the Executive Mansion. Rats
and spiders are about the only inhabitants,
and the top of the White House is more like
a country garret than the attic of a two-story
house covering quarter of an acre and stu
ated in one OF the great cities of the United
States.
FOR ONE OR THE OTHER.
The truth about the matter is that the Ex-
ecutive Mansion would do very well for the
private residence of the President or for his
Offices. 1t will not do for both, and the
statesmen appreciate it. In 1882 Senator
Morrill, had a bill which passed the Senate
appropriating $500, 900 to build an extension
to the White House, and Mrs. Harrison has
said that there ought to be two wings added
to it. She would remodel the conservatory,
add hall of painting and statuary, and
would leave the present building as it is,
sandwiched between the ends of these two
wings. In this way the historical associa-
tions Of the building would be preserved,
and Mrs. Harrison's ideas are much better
than that of Senator Ingalls,, who was in IA
vor of adding story to the building.
The White House has cost already about
s., 000,0 900. 1t took $500, 900 to build it
nearly 100 years ago. and more than 81, 700,-
600 have since been spent upon it. It is
full of beauties in the way of furniture and
pictures, but it costs us more than S125, 900
4 year to pay the Presidents salary and
keep up his establishment.
