MRS. HALFoRD SERIOUSLY I'LL.

Suffering from q Severe Attack Of Asthma,
from Which She May Not Recover.
washington Special 10 Chicago Inter Ocean. "
Numerous kilograms have been received
at the White House within the last few
hours telling of the serious illness of Mrs.
E.. w. Halford. wife of the Presidents pri-
vate secretary. who is at Townsville. Ga.
Early last fall Mrs. Halford. acting on the
advice of her physicians, went South to
seek relief, but the change proved far from
beneficial. She is suffering from chronic
asthma. Last Saturday Secretary Halford
was called to his wIfe's bedside, and the
information which has been received at the
White Hons since his arrival there has
been so dlscouraging that Mrs. Halford's
friends nave about abandoned hope of her
recovery. The most tende sympathy is
expressed at the White House and among
the numerous friends of the Halfords in
Washington. The Secretary's family has
been slngularly unfortunate. SO far as
health is concerned, since coming to wash
ington. 1t has been long known that Sec
rotary Halford is not well, and his only
daughter, Miss Jannette. recently q debu-
tante, has to deny herself social pleasures
on account of i'll health. and has been al
most constantly under the physicians care.

TOO MANY LARGE PLANTS

Cause of Sickness at the White House-Mrs.
Harrison Recovering-NIrs. Mckee Ill.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Harrison is
quite a good deal better now, having
almost completely recovered from her late
attack of diphtheretic sore throat. Mrs.
Mckee. however, is now i'll with a severe
case of tonsilitIs. which seems to be quite
prevalent throughout the city Just at
present. There is nothing serious about
her ailment. The house physician, DR..
Gardiner. after examining the premises
carefully. has decided that much of the late
sickness at the White House comes from the
almost continuous presence of the large
ferns and plants used in decorating
the rooms on the occasions of
dinners and receptions. The boxes in
which they grow contain q large quantity
of earth, which exhales odors that are not
beneficial, and the plants accumulate an
unhealthy amount of dampness. Dr..
Gardiner thinks it Is q good thing to have
small potted plants in q room, as they nave
a revivifying effect upon the atmosphere,
but he draws the line at the large plants,
ferns and mall trees. In fact..t was but q
week or SO ago that the decorations were
allowed to remain in the house for four
days, until the air in the East Room be-
came as heavy and oppressive as that in q
greenhouse, and the windows reeked with
moisture.
