After years of anxious waiting, des-
peration and starvation the keynote
to prosperity has at last been struck
The DingleY tariff bill passed the
house last Wednesday by a vote OF
205 for and 121 against it. Five
Democrats and one Populist voted
with the combined strength of the
Republicans for the bill. Intense ex-
element prevailed with prolonged
cheers and applause upon the an
nouncement of the result of the roll
call. This acts as sort of stimulus,
already, to the country, and a sigh of
relief is plainly audible to the most
unobserving. Let us now have good
times.

MRS. JOHN ADAMS.
Was the First Mistress of the White
House,

was the FIRST mistress OF the Whte
House,
It is almost a century from the
time of Mrs. Cleveland's retirement
back to that when Mrs. John Adams
went to Washington. The history of
the white house began with the SUI
peryision Of Mrs. Adams, and its
first century will end and its sec
ond begin with that Of Mrs. McKin-
ley. Mrs. Adams was conspicuously
unlike Mrs. Washington. She had
been poor girl, and after marriage,
following the example of her hus-
band, became a diligent student. In
the list Of presidents and their wives
there cannot possibly be found any
two who read so many books as Mr..
and Mrs. Adams. When he was
elected president she was SO years
old and had for eight years, as wife
of the vice president, been one of
the leading ladies in the social life
of that time; she had also spent sew
eral years in Europe, and was &C
quainted with the usages Of courts.
For some time after her husbands
election, which antedates McKinley's
an even hundred years, Mrs. Adams
was Ill at her home in Massachusetts,
and she did not reach Philadelphia
until after the abatement Of the vel
low fever in 1898. In the fall Of
1900 she journeyed in carriage over
very bad roads from Philadelphia
to Washington. The latter place she
refers to as 'only a city in name;
here and there small cot without
a glass window interspersed among
the forests" The house was on a
grand scale, but there was no fence
or yard, and the great east room she
used to hang up clothes in. The oval
room, now the library, was Mrs. Ad-
ans drawing room, and the num-
Der Of visitors, considering she lived |
in forest, was surprising. The
white house was built upon site
chosen by George Washington and
after designs by James Hobson, a
young Irish architect of Baltimore.
The model was the duke Of Leicester's
bouse in Dublin. It was named
after the dwelling Of Martha GUSTS
in Williamsburg, in which Washing
ton courted and married her. Mrs.
Adams fixed day and maintained
the same forms and ceremonies in re-
ceiving that Mrs. Washington had
introduced in New York and Phila-
delphia Mrs. Washington did not
join the president until four weeks
after his inauguration. She was a
lady Of high breeding and was quick
ly pronounced an aristocrat. The |
presidential mansion in New York
was first at Franklin square and
Cherry street, and later on Broadway,
below Trinity church and in Phila-
delphia on Market, between Fifth
and Sixth streets. Mrs. Washington
gave levees on Friday evenings regu-
larly on a courtly basis, and only per
sons of official station, social posi-
ton or distinguished merit were adj
mitted. She was well informed in
general way, but had little special
culture and was poor conversation
alist. What endeared her most to the
country was her heroism during the
revolution, when she travelled on
horseback through SHOWS and floods
in winter to headquarters to brighten
the dizziness Of the camp.St. Louis

gun was the first modern ordnance to be
fired there in 80 years. Leading experts

mount.
The establishment at Fort Washington
is composed of battery of artillerists

10-inch gun fired. yesterday, is placed be-
hind a parapet of earth and concrete.

storage of powder and shell.
Three shots were fired. the range being
up the Potomac toward Washington. The
elevation of the gun was arranged so as
to drop the shell into the water five and
a half miles away. The projectiie weighed
SO pounds, and it required $50 pounds of
powder to throw the missile. The kissing
of the projectile could be heard from the
time it left the gun until ii struck the
water and threw into the air column

The parapet was badly damaged in the
firing. the force of the shell taking large
cakes of hardened concrete off the top

more expensive steel projectiles. Each
shot cost about $50.
