WHITE HOUSE ETIQUETTE.
Rules That are strictly Observed by the
Pr. sldcn:'s Es mily.

AZ
When the president and his wife drive
out, the president sits on the right
hand seat and his wife on the left, says
the Illustrated American.
II there are others in the carriage,
whether ladies or gentlemen, they must
sit with their backs to the horses.
When Mrs. Cleveland was FIRST married
she tried the experiment of placing her
mother opposite the president and her
self in the presidential landau. hut the
people laughed at it SO im1roderately
and professed to think Mrs. Folsom (as
she was then) TO be the maid, that il was
speedily dropped. When the presi-
dents wife drives alone, she sits in the
right-hand corner-the place of honor.
The lady of the white house came;
set foot within those splendid houses
in Washington whose fiagstafTs mark
the foreign embassy or legation. She
could not go.without the president, and
as an embassy or legation is technically
q part of the country it represents, the
president could not go so that she
never sees the inside of n diplomatic
house as long as she rresides at the
executive mansion. The president
dimes only at cabinet houses. and his
wife cannot dine anywhere without
him. President Arthur dined with
judges of the supreme court ard with
senators--but as he had no wife the
whole system was very much simplified
for him. The presidents wife may, il
she chooses, 60 to luncheons where
there are no gentlemen. or to teas, both
being regarded as strictly informal;
but the danger of giving offense by ac-
cepting one invitation and declining an
other is so great that it is seldom or
never riskcd.

Sugar Beets-Agricultural Possibili-

CHICAGO, August 4.-Within the
next week Secretary of Agriculture Jas
Wilson will make a report on the con-
dition Of the Western States as regards
the culture of beets for sugar. The Cab
met official is in this city on his way to
the west. He will visit Utah, Montana,
Oregon, Idaho and number of other
Western States with the idea of invest
igating the conditions for growing sugar
beets. During the past month he has
sent the seed of the sugar beet to %, 900
farmers. The majority of them are not
now growing the vegetable. The val
leys of the West are well adapted to
raising them, and it is his opinion that
the sugar trust.
He has received a number of letters
from those interested in cornering sugar
asking him what he would do in the mat
ter of sugar beets.
He said: 'I failed to reply to any
of them. After a tour which will last
month I believe I will be able to make
report of the condition of the West for
the culture Of the saccharine bulbs. 1t

TESLA'S THEORIES
Thinks He Can Send Messages With
out Wires

NEW YORK, August 4.-Nicola Tes-
la announced today the completion of
his latest discovery-the simultaneous
transmission Of messages by means of
the earth's electrical currents to as
many scattered points on the surface of
the globe as may be desired. This he re-
CARDS as by far his greatest achieve
ment.
To few intimates he gave thrilling
demonstration of the operation Of his
device for arresting and subjecting to
control under natural laws the natural
substances in and about the earth. His
latest invention or discovery is to pro-
duce a disturbance Of the electricity of
the earth which can be felt and noted
simultaneously at all parts of the globe.
II am producing" said he in the course
of his demonstration, IAN electrical dis
turbance of immense magnitude which
is continuous throughout the entire
earth. In other words, am producing a
disturbance of the earth's charge of
electricity which can be felt to the utter
most parte of the earth"
"And the result will be?"
THAT is almost ircomprehensible
This electrical disturbance by means
of certain simple instruments can be
felt and appreciated at any point of the
globe. In this way a message can be
sent the entire earth around and be talk
en- up at any part of the earth without
the aid or intervention Of wires In any
way at ALL"

embankment into the rocky bed of the
Willowemoo river. One of the children

crossing the highway descend steep
grade, and sharp curve in the railroad
renders it impossible to see the ap-
