The executive mansion must be en-
larged. or else new residence must be
prepared for the president id some
other locality, so that the entire white
house may be given up to the transac-
ton Of public business and the proper
reception Of American citizens who come
here in greater numbers every year.
Early in the year 1890, after expert
encing the inconvenience here out
lined, President Harrison and Mrs Har-
risou endeavored to impress upon pub
lie men the necessity of public action
in the matter, but nothing was done.
Mrs Harrison took great interest in
the subject and talked to everybody
having power and influence, urging
her views with great persistence. On
one occasion she secured an attentive
listener and one who cheerfully Coin
cided with her plans, but whose in
fluence was circumscribed by his physic-
al condition. One evening Secretary
Blaine called to see the president on
official business, and after that had
been attended to, Mrs. Harrison, in a
casual way, mentioned the difficulties
which surrounded her. Mr.. Blaine at
once took serious view of the situation
and spoke quite earnestly of the indif-
ference which had so long been shown
towards the executive in matters OF
official and personal accommodations.
He could see no way out of the dilemma
except the enlargement or extension
of the present building in accordance
with some plan in harmony with its
architectural style. This agreed with
Mrs. Harrison's views upon the sub
ject, and the estimable lady explained
her ideas with wonderful completeness
and detail as to the style and arrange
ment of the proposed extension. The
secretary of state also gave his views,
which comprehended wing or auxilli-
ary building for the executive offices on
the west, and similar building for the
hall of art on the east; the central his
toric structure to be rebuilt in the In
terror Of durable materials, and to re-
main as the executive residence.
Greatly encouraged with this inter
view, Mrs. Harrison then conversed with
the superintendent of public buildings,
explaining In detail the plan which she
entertained for the enlargement of the
mansion. He heartily concmred In her
views and endeavored to aid her in Gre
ating public sentiment in favor of the
proposed plans for the extension and
Improvement Of the building. Mrs.
Harrison was so much In earnest that
she departed from her customary rule

been done and not dollar has been
appropriated for the enlargement of
the offices of the president whose duty
it is to examine papers and give super
vision to the work of all these depart
ments. Moreover, with the growth of
the country, the visitors who come here
on official business to see the president
have multiplied in numbers, and no in
creased accommodations have been
made for them at the white house. The
one public reception hall is often
thronged with distinguished men who
stand crowding each other uncomfort-
ably while they await their turn to get
beyond the door of the little room in
which the president is vainly striving
to make Roadway with affairs. There
is not sufficient room for his clerks and
assistants, The private secretary oc-
cupies a little room which is smaller
and less worthy of the position than
the first-class clerks occupy in the pal
atial executive departments. II Is not
creditable to the country that this con-

otnclal and domestic use az the preSl,
dsnsS in the future, which Subsequent
u took the form % = published inter
view, Mrs Harrison spoke very fully
ON the suhsees pointing out the alb
sen<e of sasheiens family apartments,
the lack ~ privacy for the ladies of the
pressacntS family, want of household
convenienccs and inadequate accom-
ynoaatious for the comfort of guests at
state Inequalities which the president
is required 10 extend. She also gave
her ideas Of how the extensions should
be made, and the uses TO which they
should be applied. This interview re-
eesved wide publication and attracted
considerable attention of iieeting ma
ture.
Later In the same year, in order TO
give permanent form to her ideas and
desires, Mrs. Harrison secured the serv-
ices of skilled architect, Fred D.
Owen. and he sketched with charcoal
the design outlined by her. She called
Col. Ernst, OF the army, to the white
house and explained her plan to him,
and the colonel united with the archi-
tect in stretching complete plans, Then,
from penciled interpretations of her ex-
pressions, giving geometric form with
angles and curves and lights and
shades, developing columns, colonnades,
entablatures, facades and windows, as
they fell in word pictures from the lips
of Mrs. Harrison, the architect fash
Toned, ready for the builder, home
for the presidents of the future, which,
while classic in style and republican in
simplicity, would be without rival in
the world as an executive residence.
To the glory of the womanhood of the
republic, it may also be said that this
plan is the creation of woman who
adorned the high place of domestic and
social honor in the executive mansion
until she was called to that place where
many mansions be, and where the
weary are at rest.
The wife of President Harrison
builded and planned for great Ameri-
can future. If she had lived, her
dreams might have been realized. 1t
is strange what events change and
shape the destinies of nations and of
people. In 1892, during the presiden-
tial campaign which resulted in the de-
feat of Gen. Harrison for reelection to
the presidency, the Grand Army Of the
Republic held its annual encampment
in Washington city. If Gen. Harrison
could have mingled with those veter-
ans, they might have gone hence, and,
with their balance of power, caused his
reelection. At that time he was con-
stantly at the bedside of his dying wife,
and could not even give the old soldiers
public reception. He saw none' of
them. Ex-President Hayes was here,
and marched up Pennsylvania avenue
ON foot with the old soldiers. 1t was
intended that President Harrison
should march beside him, leave the col
umn at the white house, and there as

Along the west shore Of the Hudson
xiver, between West Point and Esopus>

there are several sidehill openings that
are supposed to lead into t,g recesses
not yet explored. Daring men have
made the attempt to discover the inte-
rior, but have been frightened into re
kreat by all sorts of imaginingS
AT Marlborough, Highland and in the
famous Storm King mountain, at Corn
svsll. these rocky openings are watched
by longshoremen, who have reason 70
believe that valuable property is con-
tanned therein.
Cornwall fisherman says he be-
deves that one of these caves, near the
foot of Storm King, is the rendezvous
OF gang of New York thieves, who re-
ceive and dispose of their m-gutten
stock on strict mercantile basis. He
remembers that about the LIST OF April
he and his father saw a small boat, In
which were four men, put ashore at this
point. 1t was an inky black night, and
1t was not safe for small craft in the
evind-tossed water of Cornwall bay.
The fisherman watched the landing
and saw the company, who were dis
tinguished by the lanterns they carried.
work their way up the mountain side.
About twenty minutes after the landing
the lights were lost sight of at point
about one hundred feet from the
waters edge.
The superstition is that these men
entered one of those mercantile caves
TO make ready for the years business.
No one has ventured near the place,
although several hunters say that there
is an opening at the spot designated by
the Cornwall man. 1t is believed that
this cave is the main resort of river
pirates and robbers, who plumber in
the Hudson river valley, and If so
there is considerable danger attending
a visitation to the locality.
This site is particularly lonely and
deserted. 1t can be located by passen-
gers on the day boats as they are pass
ing. 1t is about three hundred feet
west of the place where an attempt
has been made to quarry stone for
crushing, and to reach it one must run
the risk of being bitten by the most
poisonous snakes.

cend the reviewing stand, where all
the old soldiers could see him and cheer
him as they marched by. But he was at
her bedside, and never left her until she
had gone from him, and gone from
earth forever. If she had been well
then, and had lived, she might have
seen her ideal white house builded ac-
cording to the plans which she had so
carefully outlined.
In the early days of the republic the
first occupant of the white house was
President Adams. His brilliant wife
found the apartments on the first floor
not even plastered, and held her first
reception in what is now the presi-
dents office on the second floor.
The British troops burned the white
house in 1914, and for three years Pres
ident and Mrs. James Monroe occupied
rented buildings. When they returned
to the white house it was In very
crude condition, still bearing some OF
the marks of the vandals and marauders
called soldiers, who had desecrated 1t.
During the winter season of 1S32-S4
President Andrew Jackson abandoned
all public receptions and state dinners
because the mansion was too small and
in every way inadequate to the de-
mands of circumstances and conditions
for such entertainments.
And yet we have the same unim-
proved white house for the use of our
presidents and their families until this
day. 1t Is about time that something
were done to change existing condi-
tions. The plan of Mrs. Harrison is an
excellent one and ought to be adopted
unless something better can be devised
by architectural experts. The present
white house is getting to be popular
nuisance, both as business office and
as a residence for our presidents. 1t is
dwarfed between the treasury and
state department buildings. 1t is an
architectural pigmy as compared with
the capitol building. 1t is as the house
of a butler or hostler as compared with
the homes and offices of the executive
heads of other nations. 1t Is discredit-
able to our people, and as soon as they
become familiar with that fact their
representatives will be required to take
suitable action. The plan of the wife
of President Harrison, as compared
with the picture of the original white
house, commands the consideration and
respect of all who understand the stu
alton and environments of the presi-
dent and his family in the old mansion.
