SILVER MEETING AT MoNRov1A

Myrtle hall at Monrovia was filled to
overflowing last Friday evening. The
people all wanted to hear Judge Utley
and the young man (whose name is not
"Dennis") Charles Barlow. Sawyer's
orchestra furnished music and put
everyone in a happy mood. The silver
badges frightened UP the audience, ap-
pearing upon several Republicans who
believe in taking their manhood with
them to the polls. Upon the walls were
several placards culled from Judge Ut
ley's former speeches, such as I'VE pro-
duce silver; Europe is heavy con-
sumer; why wait for Europe?" I'VE
have silver to sell; let US maintain the
price"
The speakers both put the
question SO firmly as to make it likely
that more Monrovia Republicans will
openly and defiantly leave the McKin-
lev ranks.

Artllur's term of office, which confronts
one as you first enter the building.
Off from this corridor open the red, green
and blue rooms, each named after the pre-
vailing color OF its decoration. Adjoin
ing the reception parlor or redsfoom, is the
state dining room, which is ulked on state
occasions. Grand as the DECORATIONS and
furnishings are in these rpomS8 Mrs. Cleve-
land prefers those up stairs. The hall
at the head of the west stairs seems to be
her favorite corner. Her desk and piano
are here in appropriate places, and there are
plenty of comfortable chairs and q long
window sofa, piled up with downy pillows
and head rests. The uoor is brightly
carpeted and pretty rugsf and decorative
plants are strewn around in decorative
manner. The first lady, also finds another
room up stairs suited forsociable and family
use, and q little more retiring, 1t is the
room in which Mr.. Cleveland formerly had
his office.
The reader may think itstrange that such
anex pensive building, and apparently sucha
large one, should be too small for the Prcsi-
Dental family, but such is the case. The
fact is, the White House is capable of COM

are only five bed rooms at the disposal OF

AS BAD AS OLD SALEM.
An Alaska Indian Village Where Su-
perstition Results In Murder.

Two more deliberate murders have been
added to an already long list of misdeeds
committed by the Indians of .Hoonah vii
lage and vicinity, the direct result of deep
ly rooted superstition and witchcraft For
member of tribe to be stigmatized as
witch by the medicine man is equivalent to
a living death-complete ostracism-so far
as his further relationship with his fellow
men is concerned, and an Indian thus ac-
cused may as well end his earthly career at
once. For life will henceforth be burden
to him, unless blankets enough can be pro-
duced with which to pay the doctor for dis
possessing the evil Influence at once. Cases
of this kind are occasionally cured, but the
price is generally an exorbitant one, virtu-
ually slavery for life, and suicide is pre-
erable to the victim, such a thing as casting
out a witch being rare.
During the early part Sof December the
medicine man in the latest affair, who is
Doct-in-tun-shul, or member of the Crows

AN ARTIFICIAL NOSE.
Perfectly Natural and May Re Re-
moved at Convenience.


Rochester Post-Express.
An interesting case has recently been sue
cessfulIy treated at the Harvard dental
school, in which an artificial nose was at
tached to q person with such natural and
hfeike effect as to be unnoticeable to a
stranger facing the patient five feet away.
Last spring the patient, man fifty years
of age, while at work in his carpenter shop
was struck on the nose by a falling board.
A wound followed the accident, whichproved
slow to heal. This was treated as a skin
trouble, but the patient got no relief and
noticed that thenos sgrowing eachweek.
He came to the Massachusetts general hos
pital in the latter part of June. There the
| trouble was found to be cancerous, and that
the only remedy was to cut all around it.
| This meant to take off the nose.
| 1t was done. Not vestige of it remained.
| After the patient had recovered from the op-
Grafton he was referred to the Harvard dem
! tai school for an artificial nose. He came
| last fall. He was first taken into the operat-
| ing g-room, placed in reclining position and
| an accurate impression was taken i'll plaster
| of his nose, or what should be the nose be-
| ing then but two hollow openings OF the
| mares.
When the plaster had hardened it made
! the base or model upon which to construct
the artificial nose. This part of the task
called for considerable study and skill. A
photograph wassecured ofthe patient, taken
previous to the operation, and with its aid a
nose was carefully worked up in way

WITCH Knowing only too well the sig-
nificance of such an accusation the Wolf
made feint to raise the price demanded,

chester doing the deed On December
6 a council OF the Crows was summoned
and it decided that nothing short of the
death of the Wolf would prevent precipi-
tating general hostilities between the tribes,
although the latter's kinsmen were profuse
in their offerings of blankets. Yet the
Crows remained obdurate and to prevent
prolonged struggle, bloodshed and de-
struction of property, the Wolves reluc-
family submitted to the ultimatum and Sc
lected three of their tribesmen by lot. At
sunset the following day the eXecutioners
led the murderer to the beach, lined them
selves up in front Of him at distance of
ten PAGES, and, levelling their rifles at his
head, the reports sounded as one and three
crimson spots appeared. The body rolled
to the waters edge, when friends and rela-
tives took charge of and buried it with
the usual ceremonies. 1t is worthy OF
note that a custom exists among these
natives which makes it compulsory for
each tribe to mete out punishment to its
own members.

An inquisitive black cat strayed into the
Bristol Methodist Episcopal Church on
Sunday evening Just before the services
began.
There were very few people in the church
at the time but the loud and plainttve
mewing OF the stranger attracted their
atten tion, and they watched its move
ments with interest.
The animal climbed Up into the choir
loft and perehed upon the railing, looked
down upon the congregation. After
time several members OF the choir arrived
and the cat sCampered away, finally climb
ing down one OF the wooden pillars which
supported the choir loft and walked down
into the aisle.
Several OF the congregation endeavOred
to coax the cat into their pews, but the
pro@d pussy ignored them, and with
stately dignity climbed up into the pulpit
and sat on the Bible When the pastor
came in Il moment later he found the cat in
possession OF the pulpit. but the animal
took kindly TO the preacher and began TO
purr and arch his back at The Iatter's ap-
proach.
The pastor took the cat by the back Of
the neck and handed il down to an usher
who carried puss out Of the church. "ThiI
is q good omen brethren" said the pastor,
and then he went on and preached hu

business in our down town offices.
The first funds for the construction of
the building, it must he borne in mind. were
not taken out of the pocket OF Uncle Sam.
but supplied by the States of Virginia and
Maryland, the former State contributing
100000 and the latter $4,000. But
afterwards, through the influence OF Gen.
Washington, Congress was induced 10
supply the funds which were necessary To
complete the structure. II was the first
public building To be erected in Washing

that the plans should be the best. Ac-
cordingly, premium of $500 was Offered
for the most appropriate design, and being
Informed of his success over number
ofcompetitors, Mr. James Hoban, Charles

OF the erection OF the building.
His design was modelled pretty much
after that of the castle OF the Duke of
Leinster in Dublin, which latter was planned
after those spacious and stately villas
so much priced by the Italians. His plan

provided for a three story structure, but
so great was the outery against such
monumental extravaganza that Congress
refrsed to appropriate the necessary funds,
and the first commissioners were con-
strained to curtail the designs and make it
into two-story and basement as it now is.
THUS was the Executive Mansion erected.
The corner stone was laid with imposing
Masonic ceremonies, on October ] 3, 1892,
Gen. Washington himself taking part At
that time the name of Palace was sug-
gested for the new Presidents home, but
again there was an outcry, and the protest
of the people, who feared that the new
government might be ruled by an aris-
tocracy in imitation of courts and kings,
was hearkened to and it bore the simple
name of Executive Mansion.
WHY CALLED THE WHITE HOUSE.
The name of White House was applied
as a nickname, from the fact that after
the British soldiers burned the edifice, e.
was painted a dazzling white to hide the
unSightly smoked and hlackened walls.

House. President John Adams, Washing

are to be found two billiard tables.
The conservatory is a favored resort
of Mrs. Cleyeland's, and she takes great
pride in showing her rare plants to her
visitors. 1T is in the charge of n skilled
florist, and, with an appropriation of
$1,000 per year, he makes this one OF the
sights of Washington. 1t is very at
tractive, containing many beautiful shrubs
and flowers and rare. exotic and domestic
plants and palms.
The second floor of the mansion is ap-
preached by two stairways, one leading to
the business office of the PRESIDENT and his
secretaries, in the east end of the building,

corridor and the East Room, Tor the pub

and it is amusing to note that in those
good old Democratic days, Mrs. Adams
letters tell of having used the unfurnished
east room TO dry clothes in. In Madi-

incomplete, and on August "a, 1914, when
the British soldiers applied the torch, Mrs.
Dolly Madison and party of friends were
sitting down to a grand banquet.
or that exciting event, their is still
a very precious memento in the east room
today. 1t is the painting of Gen. Washing
ton, which the visitor is generally told was
cut out OF its frame with pair of shears
by Mrs. Madison before the occupants of
the house were put to flight by those in
truders.
The White House represents snug little
fortune, 1t having cost during its century
of existence about two millions and half,
which sum includes the original cost of
construction. The average annual outlay
