THE FIRsT OCCUpANr.

On April "a. 1900, before John Adams,
the first occupant had established himself
in the white house, congress appropriated
the then magnificent sum of $15, 900 for fur
niture for his accommodation. The ex-
pendIture OF this money was strung along
through the four years following.
In 1905, when Jefferson came into his
own, the further liberal sum OF $4,000 was
appropriated "for the accommodation of
the household OF the President, to be laid
out at his discretion, together with the pro-
ceeds from the sale OF such part of the fur
niture and equipsge belonging to the PresI-
dents household as may be decayed and out
Of repair This sum, under the y
tinotive brand Of simplicity then pre-
vaillng, was spent Inside OF three
years. Most of 10 went to furnish
the house throughout, except the great east
room.
-Four years lator, in 1909, when Madisons
first term bsgan, a like sum of $I4,0 was
provided for the same purpose, but under
the accelerated tendency OF the time toward
extravaganza, it was all blown inn in the
short space of two years. The same amount
was duplicated at the beginning of Madi-
sons second term in 1918. The next year,
however, on Aug "A, the British regulars
