The custom of reittin2 and refur.
nishing the White House on the eve
of Presidential election has been fol-
lowed this fall ns usual, and next
March the mansion will be in splendid
condition for Cleveland's successor.
In the east room the white and gold
borders and panels have been restored.
The new carpet selected by Mrs.
Cleveland before she left for tue sum-
mer has been compared TO "a veritablo
cloth of gold"
There Is also to be q new carpet laid
in the corridor. The green, blue and
red pnrlors, that we're relitted to some
extent last year, are TO remain as they
were.
The state dining room is a sort OF
store room for the house when not
put 10 its Legitimate use, and large
rolls OF carpets covered with burlaps,
and large pieces OF furniture are hero
disposed Of for the summer months.
Among these is the little wicker high
chair once used by Ruth Cleveland, de-.
cidedly the worse for wear, but giving
the scene a touch OF nature that chill.
dren's belongings always suggest.
Tie Presidents room, the sanctum
snnctorum OF the mansion so to speak,
has been decorated with pale green's
and creams, with touch Of pink here
and there, that make it one OF the
most tasteful and dantiest OF rooms.

The professor here handed out one
OF the signed requests, to which dis.

Another letter, with a woman's sig.
nature, expressed desire for one of
the printed forms, which she wished
to sign, and there were q number of
others containing the signed forms or
asking for them. These came from all
parts of the country.
One of the most notable instances OF
unsolicited requests is that of q wo-
man, herself n scientific Investigator.
She and her husband are both we'll
known in science, ana her father is
one of the most eminent of living
scientists. A striking proof of this
woman's devotion to the advancement
of knowledge, aud especially of her
recognition of the re-eminent desir-
ability of comparing the brains of two
or moro generations, is that the brain
of one of her children has been con-
