dent, Mr.. Tyler, Daniel Webster, Henry
Clay, John Quincy Adams and other
famous men, the diplomatic corps and
congress being grouped just behind
them. The funeral procession was an
imposing one. Six white horses drew
the funeral car, each horse led by a
black groom dressed in white, with
white turban and sash. The military
followed, and fired a salute at the vault
in the Congressional cemetery.
Having made a start in the home of
the presidents, death did not wait long
before resuming his labors there. In
September, 1912, Mrs. Tyler, wife Of
Harrison's successor, died in the White
House. A sweet pen picture of Mrs
Tyler and her family was drawn by one
of her daughters-in-law in private let
ter, as follows:
Nothing can exceed the loneliness of this
large and gloomy mansion. hung with black
its walls echoing only signs and groans. My
poor husband suffered dreadfully when he
was told his mothers eyes We're constantly
turned TO the door watching for him. She
had everything about her TO awaken love. She
was beautiful TO the eye,e sven in her illness;
her complexion was clear as an infants, her
figure perfect, and her hands and feet were the
most delicate / ever saw. She was refined
and gentle in everything she said and did. She
was my beau ideal of perfect gentlewoman.
The devotion of father and sons TO her was
most affecting. don't think / ever saw her
enter a room that all three did not spring up
to offer her II chair; TO arrange her footstool;
to caress and pet her.
Before the close of the Tyler admin

which the White House bore a part. A
big gun on the warship Princeton ex-
ploded while party of dignitaries were
being entertained on board by Commo-
dore Stockton, and Secretaries Upshur
and Gilmer, Of the Tyler cabinet and
Mr.. Gardner, of New York, were in
stantly killed, along with three or four
sailors. In a somewhat romantic way
President Tyler escaped their fate. He
was then much in love with Mr.. Gard
ner's daughter, and was with others lis
tening to the young lady sing in the
cabin. The president had just started
to join his cabinet ministers on deck
when Miss Gardner began another song.
whereupon Tyler returned to her side.
At that moment the explosion occurred.
The two cabinet ministers and Mr..
Gardner were buried from the East
room, and FIVE months later Miss Gard
ner became Mrs. Tyler and mistress of
the White House.
In 1850 President Taylor died in the
White House. OF all the deaths in the
] mansion this was one of the saddest,
viewed from the standpoint of the be-
reaved partner Mrs. Taylor had de-

plored her husbands nomination for the
presidency. She had followed General
Taylor through all his wars, sharing his
tent and his privations, and during the
remainder of her life she wanted him to
herself. His nomination she denounced
as "a plot to deprive me of his society;
to shorten his life by unnecessary care
and responsibility Her words proved
prophetic, for he sacrificed his life in the
dedication of the Washington monu-
ment. The weather was extremely hot,
and the president drank large quantities
of ice water and partook freely of fruit.
bringing ON the fatal illness. On his
death Mrs. Taylor became insensible,
and the agonized cries of the family
were heard out on Pennsylvania avenue.
Mrs Taylor's heart was broken, and
she survived her husband only two
years. She never mentioned the White
House except in its relation to his death.
After he became president General Tay-
lor said his wife had prayed every day
for two months that Henry Clay might
be elected instead of himself.
In May, 1861, Colonel Ellsworth, one
of the first victims of the war, was bur
led from the East room, the simple but
impressive military service doing more
than any battle to fire the northern
heart.
Willie Lincoln, second son Of the pres
ident died in the White House in 1862
Mr. Lincoln said this blow was the sad
dest Of his life; the most difficult to
bear. The guests room, in which he
died, Mrs. Lincoln never entered again
President Lincoln did not die in the
White House, but his body lay in state
in the East room, and there women scat
tered flowers upon his breast, rugged
soldiers bent down to kiss his face, and
great crowds of people-rich and poor,
black and white-came to weep.
Mrs. Grants father, Frederick Dent,
died in the White House in 1878. To
the same room in which Mrs. Harrison
died General Carried was tenderly car
ried, and there he lay and suffered for
several weeks. During the Arthur ad-
/ ministratiOn, and while n New Years
reception was being held at the White
House, Elisha Allen, minister from Ha-
waii, fell fatally stricken within a few
feet Of the president and his gay party,
thus bringing the reception to a sudden
end.
These are the notable tragedies of the
White House. How many other trage-
dies of life and death, death warrants
signed and pardons refused, hearts
broken and lives ruined, have occurred
within its wallsl

the funniest story they ever had read.
He testified that if he ever said that he
wept at the tomb Of Adam it must have
been in moments Of hallucination, since
his emotions at the discovery Of that
tomb would certainly have been those Of
joy.
He attacked the testimony Of Mr..
Cheney, declaring that he was unworthy
of belief as a witness, "Why," said he,
81 met Cheney's father a few days be-
fore sailed, and he told me that his son
was being sent to Europe to cure him
of a mania for prevarication. Not long
ago that young man disappeared from
his home for several days. When he
came back in a shamefaced manner
his father said:
"Where have you beeny
81 have been hunting bear"
"Well, if you killed any bear 1 shall
not punish you; but if you did not kill
any, then L shall Danish you to Europe
for awhile. How many did you kill?'
81 shot 1892 bears, father"
'SYou are falsifer. Yon have mixed
up the year Of our Lord with your bear
shooting exploits. You will have to go
to Carlsbad to be cured"
When Mark Twain finished this anec-
dote the prosecuting attorney declared
that he had been convicted out Of his
own mouth, for the anecdote itself was
an unscientific lie, insOmuch that Mark
Twain had mentioned bear as the game,
l,a oh Heh
Everybody expects that a fisherman
will exaggerate the number of fish
caught, but nobody ever knew a bear
hunter to do it. The jury convicted
the culprit without leaving their seats,
and Judge Dittenhoefer was called
upon to impose sentence He COM
manded Mark Twain to stand up, and
he declared that for the first time a
jury Of his peers had formally and very
properly on the evidence found him
guilty of unscientifc lying. He should
therefore sentence him to read for
three hours every day from his own
works until the steamer reached port.
AS sentence was pronounced Mark
| Twain groaned, and then, falling on his
knees, implored the judge in these words:
Anything but thati Hang me if you
will, but do not compel me to read my
own works That is a slow and horrible
DEATH"
Without needing the appeal Judge
Dittenhoefer added that as Mark Twain
was going to Germany to live for awhile
he should also condemn HIS TO abandon
the American form of hi kAme, which
means two marks, and use instead the
German word Bismarck. There can
not be two Bismarcks in Germany" said
the judge, "and it will be a part of your
punishment to carry on battle with the
prince of that name for your right to
use it."
Mark Twain served his sentence faith
fully. He read three hours every day
from his own works, but most of the
passengers wished that he had not.

Note the varieties in the illustration,
and they are only four, while certainly
saw fifty different shapes in as many
minutes Saturday. The lower left has
a fare at the wrist, which comes down
well over the hand, and, by the way,
this mode makes the hands look very
small. That on the right has three plaits
down the forearm, held by rosettes Of
ribbon to match the moire of the sleeve.
The upper right has the under sleeve Of
plain goods, with a lace cap, though
other goods could be used by scalloping
or otherwise trimming it. The upper
left one is n very useful and easily made
style of sleeve and is much liked for
home dresses. Short sleeves are puffed,
usually balloon style, and often are loft
open on the front part and fastened
lightly with bows Of ribbon or jewels
A pretty berthe is made of white lace
and chiffon. The shape Is like long
collar, with frill Of deep lace all around
it and a putting of chiffon. Around the
part that comes next the neck is pulled
draping Of chiffon, ending in full chou
of chiffon. On the shoulders are wind
mill bows of satin ribbon, either white
or in light tint TO match n costume.
This berthe will make the plainest gown
into tasteful and dressy costume for a
festal occasion if the gown is turned
in V shape, leaving the neck slightly
exposed, and it is Of course transfer
able. There could also be two or three
sets of ribbons TO give variety Those
that stand upward have a stiflening
made of what is called capwire.
Speaking of stiffened bows recalls a
funny little thing that happened the last
night that delightful Joe jefferson
played rip Van Winkle" here. There
was a splendid audience, including Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland and all the best
people, and they were dressed beauti-
fully. Two young girls, modest and
perfectly ladylike, sat near me, and they
both had large felt hats, one with a
fluff Of plumes and the other with three
enormous loops of ribbon standing upin
such a way as to completely cut off all
view of the stage from those behind her.
After awhile, when patience really
ceased to be virtue and the two girls
were intent on the play, saw neatly
gloved hand reach out and take hold OF
one loop, and by a deft touch bend the
wires so that it lay fiat. Another light
movement and another fell, and wher
the last was laid low the people about
could not help laughing and clappina
their hands, and so did the two girls
who never knew that the hat had beer
touched.

best dressed ladies all wore close lttl,
bonnets. A particularly charming one
was of salmon pink velvet twisted arouny
on the fat crown so that it looked like
cake as it is being stirred in bowl. Tn,

SAN Francisco. Sept. 20.-Last night
two Of the prisoners in the house OF
correction, one of them q brother of
Corbett, the champion pugilist, and the
other named McBabe, concluded to
leave the institution. The prisoners
had been acting as trustees. and were
allowed freedom about the building.
After getting come distasce away, they
entered place on the road and stole a
horse and wagon. In their haste to
escape they drove on q trestle OF the
electric road. The horse fell through the
opening, and the prisoners left him to his
fate, attached to the wagon. Early this
morning an electric car came along, and
as ii was dusk the motor man did not
see the horse. and ran over its head,
which was lying on the rail. The two
prisoners proceeded on foot, and sep-
arated, going in different directions:
Guards were started after them, and
captured McBabe. They were informed
while on the hunt in which direction
!, Corbett had gone, and he will probably
be captured tonight. Corbett was sem
fenced for three years for robbery, and
had seven months to serve. McBabe
was sent to the house for petty larceny,
and would have been released in another
month.

to the statements of the passengers ar
irving on the steamer Australia, from
Honolulu, this morning, the Hawaiian
legislature has been caucused, with the
result that "a members voted in favor
of impeaching the ministry and %
against such action. The resolution OF

as introduced by Representative Smith,
is expected to carry by the same vote.
1t is also stated that petitions are be-
ing circulated in certain quarters asking
the British government to place the
islands under its protection. The Amer
ican residents of the islands are strongly
opposing such action, and will ask the
government at Washington to interfere
on behalf of their interests.
