WHITE HOUSE ROBBED.
valuable Iapers and Jewelry Missing
Since tho Eumigation.


WASHINGTON, Feb. l4--IIas the white
house been robbed? Just what oc.
Cured is what every one is trying to
find but, particularly the members OF
the presidential family, who are the
sufferers. Russell Harrison went to
the health office Monday afternoon to
lodge complaint for the loss of jewelry
supposed to be lost or stolen during the
fumigation of the white house.
AS soon as Mr.. Harrison's daughter
had fully recovered from the scarlet
fever, Mr.. Harrison engaged suite of
rooms at the Arlington hotel. where he
is now stopping. He left the white
house in order that the health author.
tiles might take charge of the rooms
she had occupied, and thoroughly disin.
feet and fumigate them to prevent con-
tagion.
IL was understood that all the bed
clothing and carpets, sofas, rugs and
other articles in these rooms which
might take the germ of the disease
should be burned. The fumigation
was completed about week ago.
Among the effects of the rooms were
some valuable papers, jewelry and
memorandum books which were left to
Mr. Harrison by his mother. These,
instead OF being fumigated and pre-.
served, are supposed to be destroyed.
Mr.. Harrison said Monday afternoon
that there was no record of their dc.
struction at the health Office, and it
certainly seemed to him that the mat.
ter should be investigated

He REMEMBERED EVERYTHING.
Washington Never Forgot the Minutest
Details.

|
Details.
In the midst of the gravest opera.
tions, and burdcned with Thousand
cares and anXieties Washington new
er forgot the minutest details; he was
as mindful of little things as of big.
AT the battle of Monmouth, when the
commander in chief was riding up
from the Freehold meeting house,
where he had been directing impor.
tant movements, he met the main por-
ton Of the patriot army retreating in
wild confusion before the pursuing
British. With stern indignation and
withering rcproof, he called the chief
officers to sense of their duty, and
then. by almost supcrhuman efforts,
in the face of CALLING FIRE from
the enemy, he rallied his stampeding
forces.
Fcarlessly, as though he were con-
scious of charmed life. he rode in the
very thickest of the iron storm, lay
ing his plans and giving his orders.
The army of brave, true patriots,
which, half an hour before, had
seemed on the verge of destruction.
panic-stricken and without order, was
now drawn up in steady, unflinching
array OF battle, prepared to meet the
advancing foe.
1t was at this time, while plunging
through the 'leaden rain and iron
hail." that Washington's horse was
shot under him. The chief coolly
stepped from the PROSTATE charger,
and having received from the hands of
an attendant orderly fresh horse,
ready caparisoned, he turned to the
sable body servant who followed him
close through all dangers, and without
the presence of whose ebon visage
picture of washington and his fami-
ly' would not be complete, and quietly
said:
Here, Billy, take the saddle from
that dead horse and look out for it,"
And then he dashed away to direct the
planting of Oswald's battery.
'Golly" exclaimed old Billy, as he
related the incident to one of the fam. |
lily on his return home. "who ebber did |
see such man as Mas'r Washington?
