TnE WHITE HOUSE.


iFr0ai The hHHa'o foHrici-I
1t is said that the White House at
Washington has cost s2,532,ooo down TO
the present time. To start with. the
state OF Virginia contributed $4,000
and the state Of Maryland $4,000 to
build IL. prize Of $500 had been oiicr-
ed for the finest design. And this
was awarded 20 n young Charleston
lrishman named James Hunln. who fol-
lowed closely the Duke Of Leinster's
palace at Dublin The plan coniem-
plated a threeatofy building, but Con.
gress refused to appropriate the money
tor anything so cXifayagant, and the
district commissioners cut down the
design to one for Two stories and q base
mcnt, with % lengih Of 20 feet and n
depth Of 6s feet
Washington finally induced Congress
10 add to the sum contributed by Mary
land aud Virginia enough 10 finish the
work Of construction. The cornerstone
was laid In the presence Of President
Washington oct. T.. 1872, and President
John Adams took BITS auily into It In
November. 1900. IA ugh Mrs adams
complained OF the discumluits to which
she was subjected tn is unfinished con.
diiion. Congress had appropriated SIS.
600 TO furnish the building. but It's ex-
pcndiiure was strung along for years.
~ the beginning ~ the first admins
trauon Of Jefferson and each Of the adj.
m,nistraiious Of Madison $4,000 was
appropriated, bot in taIs, az the taking
OF Washington, the mansion was
burned by the British soldiers. a heavy
rain saved II from entire destruction,
aud In 1877 $4,000 was expended IN its
reconstruction. The red sandstone was
painted white to remove the tracks Of
the FIRE, aud the building has since been
known as the White House In conse
queuce.
In jackso1's Il st term the front Ion
poftico was added ~ a cost OF $1,000
and when Harrison came ia the foreign
mahogany furniture was replaced witt
American at cost Of $1,000 During
Lincolns FIRST term $1,000 was LAID GU
10 repairs. ln 1905 the house was
thoroughly ovlrhiucd and reurnished
at an expense of $4,000. and Two year,
later $4,000 was spent tor similar pur.
poses. Ia Grants first term f35.oo1.
and In h second sliouoO, was spent. in
Hayes $4,000, and during the Garfield
Arthur administration stiou1o.
In the last mentioned sum Is included
the cost OF reiiiiing the mansion with
modern convenieuces and substituting n
iewelled glass screonc In the yts,ibule
for former wooden partition. During
Cleveland's term there was an cxpcndi-
ture Of s7t,ooo. and during Harrisons
one OF yg5oJo-thc average annual

Tine Presidents family has at is dis
posal five bedrooms, dining room, a
sitting room, and the rcd room for a
parlor, the east room, the green room.
the blue room. and the state dining room
being reserved by tradition for public
purposes. Mrs Harrison urged that
wings should be added to the building
for the comfort Of her SUCCESSORS. lthas
also been proposed that another build.
ing should be erected near at hand Tor
In Presidents family, and that the
White House should be given up to
official use.

An Eminent Writer Gone.

Francis Parkman, the eminent historian,
died at his hon on Prince street. Jamaica
Plain, Boston. at LAS o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. His last sickness was brief,
peritonitis being the cause OF death. 1t
was only recently that he celebrated his
10th birthday in an transformations manner,
receiving few callers, but great many
letters and kilograms came from all parts
of the world His home on the south bank
of Jamaica pond was one OF the most
beautiful residences in the suburbs OF
Boston, and it was there that he
did his best work in his last DAYS
Several months ago Mr. Parkman's condi-
ton was regarded as serious. and fears OF
his death we're entertained. but he rallied
from the attack. lie remained, however
in a weakened condition. and when at
tackled by peritonitis his vitality was in
sufficient to sustain him

ssssJOdl an
- the police depart
chicago, IS a self con fessed en-
bezzler of the funds intrusted to his charge,
the amount of his stealings, according TO
his own statement. being between s3,5
and $4,000. Tine sum stolen, however, may
be much larger. Mayor Swift thinks The
bond, supposed 10 be for $1,000, and signed
by ex- Alderman Cullerton and Timothy
Griffin. and by which Connors Unidentified
the city from loss to that amount, is mys-
teriously missing. A strange coincidence
in connection with the loss of the bond
is the fact that Mr. Cullerton was making
inquiries for it two days before the
arrest of the thief An odd fate indeed,
is Connors For years he has sat at a
desk Immediately above the barred room
that now confines him. receiving the
moneys and valuables stripped from thieves
brought in by the detectives. For years
he has listened to the tales of downfall
and its causes. None knew better than
Connors that drink and gambling were the
causes which led astray nine out OF ten OF
the men brought into the station, and led
them to robbery and disgrace. Yet Con-
nors takes up the same path and with the
same result For to gambling and whisky
is due the misery this man has brought
upon himself, wife and two children.
