BRICKS Made i'm 1912

The first bricks made in this country
for building purposes were manufactured
by colUnists in Virginia in 1912. They
were used in the construction OF d church
edifice at Jamestown. and the residence
OF the governor of the state. A part of
the jamestown church is still standing.
and the bricks are in good state of pres
ervation, showing that the colonsts be-
lieved in making articles to resist wear

With innate adaptability Mrs. Lamont
has overcome all objections, and invitations
to luncheon for an early day have been
signed, sealed and delivered, to some
eighteen Of the most prominent elderly
ladies', usually dubbed the Cave Dwell
ers," on account of their hermit-like ex-
clusiveness, and orders have been issued
to caterer for one of the most elaborate
luncheons ever given.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1897-01-28

The conception of this luncheon, TO elderly
residents who rarely attend an official
function, has been for some time secret
determination. The wife Of the chief ex
ecutiye has often expressed regret at her
inability to return private calls. That
would open up insurmountable difficulties
Go one in her position, and has entered
heart and soul into the plan which would
give her the coveted pleasure of meeting
representative old residents under such
agreeable auspices.

MRS. LAM0NTS DEPART URE

1t seems TO us that Mrs. Lamont has set a
precedent in entertaining that it would be
well for future officials to follow, ia iss,i-
ing invitations to circle Of prominent
private residents for luncneon in honor
or Mrs. Cleveland. Heretofore 1t has been
the policy OF Cabinet ladies to ignore this
particular portion of Washington society,
with mutual disadvantage, not so much
from a lack of proper appreciation as
through the fmpossibility of covering the
double ground of obligation in the few
short weeks Of Our gay season, with its
wear and tear of official duties Mrs La
mont has always endeavored To do away
with this difficulty, and by including GER
tain number Of unofficial young ladies in
her regular reception list, to throw the
various branches of society into more con
genial intercourse.

WEST END GOSSIP

One of Mrs. Cleyeland's little ways is Ia
attendas much "a possible To her own CORE
spondence. She has no private secretary,
as she ought to have, To relieve her Of this
decidedly arduous duty; and there is no
lady belonging to the White House family
who can take this position. Mrs Dimmick
used to attend TO all the routine CORE
spondence for Mrs Harrison, and Mrs. MoE-
ton had the aid of Miss Hunt, daughter OF
Garfield's Secretary OF the Navy.
Perhaps it was on account of this that the
last card reception given at the White
House suffered. A large number of invi-
tations which were undoubtedly son Mrs.
Clevelands list never reached the people
to whom they should have gone, and this
caused, first, disappointment then heart
burning, and then surprise and
attempts at explanation. The clerks
who addressed the envelopes prob
ably lost a sheet or skipped page of the
list Among the omitted people were
Senator'S and Representatives. wives, sew
eral ladies OF the diplomatic corps and
other prominent people. heir places
were rather more than filled, however, by
the large number of impairment non invited
guests who made themselves at home in the
White House. They did not trouble Them
selves about cards, bat just crowded in past
the ushers and swelled the number OF visit
Ors to fifteen hundred or so.

his bill is intended to raise. He came,
he said, to speak for the forgotten
man." the taxpayer, from whose labor
and sweat was to be wrung, by legislative
rapine, this vast fund for distribution
among favored benefciaries.
Here was a bill of confscation, he de-
clared, proposing to take the property
of those who were not favorites, the
forgotten man," who is laboring in the
streets and fields. And yet, when an
explanation was asked for the exorbi.
tant rates of this bill, no answer was
given, save "whaf are you going to do
about it?"
Mr.. Mills warned those on the other
side of the chamber to remember that
Biblical injunction: "For all these things
God will bring you into judgment" The
process of framing this bill proceeded
against the fundamental principle of the
Anglo.Saxon doctrine that every man
shall have hearing. But there was a
tribunal whose doors always stood open,
and before that tribunal the projectors of
this bill would be summoned. In 1890 a
similar act had fallen like the bub onic
plague on the country, and the tribunal
of the people had put the Republican
party in quarantine.
Mr.. Mills turned his attention to the
daughters of millionaires, ''fatted like
heifers and sent abroad in quest of
titles" When the vast fortunes had
been built up by unjust taxation, then,
he said, these daughters were "put on
the market, hawked and peddled, sold
for priucesses and duchesses and coun.
tesses and marchionesses, and all other
'esses. And here was Congress legis
lating the money to pay for these trips
abroad. If the American people accept.
ed this condition, then they were not
worthy Of self-government,

Governor Tanner, of Illinois, is catch
ing it from the Chicago pagers on ac-
count of signing the Allen bill that had
passed the legislature, granting a fifty
year franchise to Yerkes, the street
railway lnagnate. Governor Altgeld
vetoed this same measure and yet these
same papers denounced Altgeld as an
anarchist and abused him in every way,
Their Tanner seems to have given them
dose and they are scorching him. The
Chicago Tribune, Republican, pro-
nounces the following indictment upon
Tanner:
Yesterday morning Gov. Tanner stood
at the parting of the ways. He could
have taken the right road, offended
Yerkes and his gang Of stock gamblers
and made 1000 600 people his friends
for life. He preferred to take the wrong
road and made Yerkes his companion
hereafter. He has made his choice of
friends deliberately. Let him accept
the consequences uncomplainingly He
can do no more harm to Chicago than
he has done Their turn will come.
They see in him the avowed enemy,
whose political extinction will be one of
their future aims. They will inject him
at Philippi." There will be no senator.
ial term for him. There will be no
gubernatorial reelection. His career
will close when he leaves an Office he
has disgraced to step down among the
people he has outraged.
