The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-10-24

Mrs. Harrison's reign as the mistress of
the White House has been an eminently
satisfactory one. In the matter of in
vitations utter impartiality was always
her rule. Political affiliations cut no
figure. Mrs. Harrison maintained and
her views were cordially shared by the
president-that the White House should
be the social center of the official world,
not merely of the Republican sphere.
At large dinners it was the custom to
invite as many Democratic officials as
Republicans. The wives and daughters
of Democratic senators and representa-
tives were remembered in all cases where
invitations to the Blue room were ex-
tended. All thought of party were in-
variably put aside, and no one set of peo.
pie had entree'to the White House I'd the
exclusion of others.
In coming to the White House the ex-
perience of Mrs. Harrison as senator's
wife was valuable. She knew what was
expected ofits occupants in the social di-
rection and signiiied her appreciation of
her position by giving reception before
she had been in the White HOUSE a
month.
Mrs. Harrison's personality was in no
sense obtrusive. She had an innate
modesty about proclaiming her person.
ality before strangers which might well
be emulated by many persons holding far
less exalted positions before the world
and in society. This was exemplified on
the occasion of visit made to one OF the
large Washington stores, in the window
of which was displayed gorgeously
painted coat of arms of the Harrison
family. Mrs. Harrison, after requesting
closer inspection of the fine piece of
work, casually asked the clerk il he
knew to whom it belonged and for what
purpose it was an exhibition.
Little dreaming who was his inter
locutor, the man replied that he did not
know, but supposed it was in the hope
that some of the White House ptople
would desire to possess it. The natural
impulse of nine women out of ten would
have been to have then said, 81 am Mrs
Harrison" but the presidents wife hap
PLY proved the exception, and handing
the painting back to the clerk, with
thanks for his courtesy in the matter,
she quietly left the store
One peculiar development of Mrs. Har-
rison's independence of character was a
dislike to be copied after or made TO set
fashion in dress or manners in spite of
herself. If she got an idea that women
We're wearing their hair in certain way
or draping their skirts in certain fash
ion just because she did it, she would
get provoked and change the style Of her
hair or her skirts at once.
Mrs. Harrison was not fond of tho fuss
and feathers of official life, but on the
other hand she never evaded the duties
imposed upon her by her husbands po-
slton. She was an excellent cook, and
even while at the White House person
ally supervised the domestic arrange
ments, going to the length frequently of
doing the marketing herself.

SECOND CITY.

ailualia, the Secoi1u city III size
and business Importance in Audrain
county, has never in its history en-
joyed the prosperity it is now hay-
ing. The town is experiencing no
boom but is fortunate in something
better-a steady growth. Nandalia
draws trade from portions of three
outside eounties-Montgo Pike
and Rails. The country surround
ing the town is the best in this whole
section Of Missouri and the pretty
little city lies in the favored portion
of Audrain. The farmers OF the
community are thrifty and intelligent
and this class Of producers contrib
ute principally to the success ol
Vandalia, where all kinds of bust
ness is creditably represented by en-
ergetic men.
Just outside the city limits Of the
town is the most extensive coal
mine in this part of the State, from
which coal is shipped out over the
country; the Chicago 4 Alton road
Goals all its engines at this shaft.
The Vandalia Fire Brick Works is
operating on an extensive scale and
is shipping its product to points
throughout this and other States. \
large flour mill runs day and night,
the output of which finds ready sale
in several markets. The above en-
terprises all bring in big money to
the town. The largest shipments Of
grain and stock from any point in
the county go from Eandalia. One
firm in this line does a business OF
$500, 900 yearly. This is the state
ment of the manager, who says the
firm has shipped this year upward OF
400 900 bushels of oats, a very great
deal of corn, and cars of cattle and
hogs that he could not enumerate off
hand. 1t is estimated that SOC, 900
or 600, 900 bushels of oats have been
shipped from this point within the
year.
The merchants and other business
men are prospecting and enjoy high
commercial standing. No one COM
plains of hard times in Vandalia. The
principal streets of the town and all
business houses and many residen-
e are lighted by electricity. A good
newspaper-the Leader-ably edited
and well patronized is printed there.
Several new and costly residences
have been and are being built and
town property is steady at much
better figures than in many places
twice its size. There is not a vacant
business house in the city. How
ever, there is a scarcity of dwelling
houses, which fact is to be regretted.
1t is understood that several wealthy
resident gentlemen will in the spring
erect a number of tenement houses
which will be an ornament to the
town.
The LEDGER congratulates the
live little city of Vandalia and its
wide-awake citizens, as well as the
good people living adjacent thereto,
on its merited success and hopes to
see it double in population during
1898.

FAITH AYAILED NOT.
A Victim TO the Deiusive christian
Science Doctrines-As Q Result
He Ii Now o Corpse.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 20
for some time the Christian scien-
fists have been holding meeting in
the vicinity Of Hennessey, o. T.,
and one of the teachings Of the adj
vocates was that if one had proper
faith a rattlesnake could be handled
without fear of danger. One fellow
said that he and his family had Of
ten handled snakes and that when
he returned home he expected to
hear of some of his Oklahoma con-
verts having been imbued with faith
enough to handle the most poisonous
reptiles in the territory. A farmer
became infatuated with the preach
er's teaching and thought that his
faith would stand the test. A few
days ago he was up in the strip look
ing after some calves, and seeing a
large RATHER, he applied the test and
the rattler applied his fangs. The
man refused to receive any medical
treatment, relying whollyl upon
faith and prayers to cure him. One
of the local healers was called in
and prayer and faith were admins
tered until the next afternoon. when
the patient died. Many of the
faithful believers refused to take
the hint and yet claim that the
mans time had come and that no
medical aid would have saved him.
His wife was ON a visit to Indiana
at the time and was telegraphed to
come home to the funeral.

To the Editor OF the Ledger
RUSH HILL, Mo-, Nov. 29.-Since
it is known that the Democrats will
have full control OF the Government
after the fourth of March next, there
are many ideas advanced as to what
legislation would be best suited UNI
der the present state OF affairs to
give relief to the business OF the
country. l think onr representa-
tives should exercise a great deal OF
caution as radical changes would be
disastrous in many ways, the tariff
should be reduced so as not to ruin
those who have stocks OF goods on
hand, but let it be gradual and all
will be benefited and no one injured.
AS the tariff was the leading issue
of the campaign, we should feel that
our representatives are equal to the
emergency. | believe that the
final outcome of the revenue ques-
ton will be and must be free trade
and direct tax, and if we want the
Democratic party to run this Gov
eminent they had just as well be-
gin to take steps in that direction,
for it has got to come, the people
are in earnest and have found that
they can agree and don't have to go
to Wall Street or New York to get a

the east rich and the south and
west poor, now that we have the
power to enact such Just laws as
