CLEVELAND AND HILL.
President and Senator Are at
Last Friends.
For the Second Time During This
Administration the New Yorker
Enters the White House.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3-When the lists
OF names of guests at the Presidents
dinner tn the Cabinet was given out this
evening the appearance among them of
the name Of Senator Hill of New York
was received with incredulity.
There has been no intimation that the
New York Senator was to be present, and
when it became known about town that
Mr.. Hill was the guest of the President
the fact was at once the subject of the
greatest speculation.
There had been rumors that an under
standing had been reached between the
President and MI Hill, but the presence
of the latter at the White House tonight
was the first tangible evidence that the
rumorS were probably authentic.
But once during this administration has
Mr.. Hill been within the portals of the
executive mansion. That time was after
the arrival of Senator Murphy, and the
Two New York Senators appeared at the
White House together, but the best infOF-
nation is that they did not see the PIesi-
dent at hat time. The President and Mr..
Hill met in general assemblage before the
dinner began, and their meeting TO every
appearance was one of extreme cordiality.
They remained together for some minutes
in close conversation. Mr. Hill escorted
Mrs. Hearst to the dining hall.
Senator Hill tonight declined to discuss
his presence at the White House, saying
it was purely social visit and had no poll
teal significance and consequently he did
not feel at liberty TO talk on the subject.
Nevertheless his attendance will be a
mark for political gossip for some days to
come. II is understood that Mr.. Hill was
invited to the last Cabinet dinner, but de.

NEEDlEWORK.
An Art Taught in Public Schools
Certain to Be Popular.

American women, as a rule are bad
needlewomen." said recently an instructor
of sewing in one OF he public schools of
New York. Mothers do not begin early
enough to make the needles art matter
of amusement. II is one of the weak
points of the average home training"
A good commentary on this assertion is
that teachers are assigned to instruct
Normal College graduates, many of whom
show an astonishing ignorance even Of
threading a needle. Only within a few
years have we Americans awakened to the
necessity of industrial classes. Sewing Is
now taught 10 many public schools. For
eign methods. practically Swedish, are
copied. Some of the examination questions
put TO a class in the Pratt Institute are
interesting. Every detail of the art being
covered, graduates cannot fail to be good
sewers.
Name the threads in woven goods.
Which thread forms the sewage?
How are needles pointed?
How is the eye of a needle made?
Describe the cotton plant, aud how and
where it grows.
Make French seam; show darning on

yard of muslin.

year-old Gretchen may well make an
American of 20 blush for her own 'botches
and Fuckers" Our girls are more willing
to do yards on yards of good. bad and in
different embroidery, much of which is
useless. than to make a garment, though
it may be a bit of tinery for her own use.
A skillful needlewOman has great indie
pendenee. She has means for support,
for solace. and for pleasure. Our dear old
grandmoshers took pride in fine stitching
that we of sewing-machine era know very
little about.
The wife of the artist Milet is so skill
full with the needle that she not only de-
signs her own and her chiIdren's cloth
ing, all of which are models of grace and
beauty. but she copies old costumes found
in bywayS of Europe, which her husband

IN THE MIDST OF RUINS.
An Investigating Tour Through An
Gent Mexico

Frederick Starr, professor of an thropO-
logy in the University OF Chicago and di-
rector of Walker Museum, has returned
from a three months investigating tour
through old Mexico. The vicinity of the
City of Mexico Professor Starr found to be
a field rich in antsropological stores, and
field whose resources will furnish informa-
ton upon which much of the life OF the
ancient AZ ecS will be reconstructed. In
company with Herman Wolf, an ex-
Chicago street urchiD, a trip was made To
San Juan de Teotihuacau, an old Mex
can ruin thirty miles from the ty
of Mexico. Here they found a naive
Mexican Indian excavating build
ing whose age Professor Starr estimates To
be at least 800 years. Several years ago
Charney. an anthropologst, and later Bat
ris, lay Mexican, eXcavated two com-
plete dwellings. one of which was VERT
able palace. The third excavation, whose
developments were watched by Pro-
lessor Starr and his youthful pro-
tege, presents distinct contrl6u-
tion to the science of anthropology and
throws considerable light upon the his
tory OF the MOntezumas. The discovery re-
vealed n tive-r0om house, rectangular in
form and finished in plaster. The rooms
were decorated with yarIcolored pictures
and ornament atiOns. which showed re-
markable state Of preservation. The pic
lures portrayed men adorned with
gaudy plumes and head-dress, and
the colnrs were as distinct as
though recently imposed. Professor
Starr made elaborate plans of the
building, and sketches of the pictures and
decorations, which were quite different
from those found in the previous eXrava-
tons. These with other sketches PROBES
sor Starr will make the basis of prehis-
toric history of Mexico. Professor Starr
also visited and secured anthropological
material from the Pueblo Indians. Also
at the familiar ruins of Militia sketches
we're drawn and material collected.-Ch-
