A White House Table.
To the Editor of The Evening Star.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your article in The Star on the bric-a-
brac In the White House you speak of the
now in existence that were a part OF
yet wore the mantle" 1t may be interest
ing to know that the dining table used at
the White House by Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, and, possibly Madison, is still in
existence and in use. l have often had the
pleasure of sitting at it, and there partak-
ing of the generous hospitality of it's pres
ent owner.
MIR. Gideon Granger was appointed by
President Jefferson in 1902 as the Post
master General of the United States, and
held that Office during the two terms of
that President and during the greater part
Of President Madisons. During this pc
riod, i'll some way unknown to me, Mr..
Granger became possessed Of the table. He
removed 1t to his stately house in Canaan
daigua, N. Y, where it served as the fam
lily dining table until his death in 1922 1t
then passed into the possession of his son,
the late John A. Granger, the father of
Mrs. Saunders Irving of this CITY, and
finally became the property of his only son,
Mr.. j. Alton Granger of Passaic. N. j. The
historic article stands in the country place
of Mr.. Granger, on Lake Canadaigua, and
is in constant use when the family are
there.
The table is of mahogany, rich and brown
with the coloring of a century. In size il
is most generous as to length and breadth.
Otherwise it is severely plain, but ex-
tremely heavy and solid. 1t bears the
marks of that severe simplicity and solidity
which characteriZes the furniture Of the
last century. JAMES N. GRANGER.

and the cool, shady spots so numerous at

be wished for. and the arrangements for
handling the big crowd, and the features
provided for its entertainment, made the
occasion a memorable one.
The chief feature of the day was the
athletic meet, under the auspices of the
Vaughn class, one of the well-known
branches Of the Sunday school. All Of the
events were exciting, especially the bicycle
races, and the winners were compelled to
work with a will for theiy prizes. Harry
Park attempted the descent of the chute
on one wheel, without either handle bar or
pedals, and at the first trial slipped and
went headlong into the side beams On the
second attempt the wind was so strong as
to blow him over before the start could be
made, and the effort was abandoned.
In the evening a cake walk was given
and several members of the school enter
tanned the crowd with songs and athletic
specialties. Those in charge Of the athletic
meet were: Master of ceremonies, Mr.. E.

BRUTALITY OF LYNcHING.
"Thou Shalt Nat knl," Theme Of Rev
Aldrfdge'R. Discourse.

Aldrfdge'4s Discourse.
Rev. 1. F. AldridgH preached a sermon
yesterday morning at Campbell A. M. q.
Church, Hlllsdale. On the subject of the
iaWless taking ofhhuman lives. He selected
as his text the 18th verse of the 10th chap
ter of Exodus, Thou shalt not KILL and
said:
This sacred commandment was handed
down 10 Moses 1by the voice Of God. in
thunder tones, long and loud. out of the
cloud upon Mt. Sinais smoking top. in the
midst of thunder and lightning, and in the
presence OF flaming fire and quaklng
expect to see Gods face in peace must
Keep this commandment and all the rest.
Nhe commandment of God, which says
inou Shalt not KILL is outrageoAsly and
shamefuily violated day and night in this
country Men and women are being shot
TO death and murdered by brutal and cruel
persons, without giving them warming or
1lme 10 prepare to meet their God. It Is
shame upon civilization and Christianity.
II is disgrace to law and order.
The citizens of Washington, the capital
OF the nation, and of other places in this
country. have teen compelled to look in
amazement upon cold-blooded murder
scenes the past week. Big, burly men have
walked upon the streets and into homes
and opened fire upon defenseless, helpless
ana weak women; and then. to keep from
condemnation of the people. these men
turned the weapons to their own heads
and blew out their own brains and destroy
ed their own lives
Here we have learned jurists. police
guards law makers. Here we have church.
es, Sunday schools and day schools,
preachers and teachers, and yet these
crimes are perpetrated within the shadow,
OF the dome Of the Ca?itol and we are
poweriess to prevent them. In this world
no man or woman knows his or her fate.
suicides are common in the land. This
Is species of murder that destroys both
soul and body.
Every minister and Christian should
raise q voice against the unlawful de-
struction of human life. The warning cry
shouid be raised and the danger signal
hoisted."
or Or the crime of lynching, he said:
Inc tlme to put a stop to these out
RACES came some years ago. 1t is at hand
today. There must be a stop put to these
crimes, for if they are allowed to continue.
IN my opinion, it will take a standing
army to control the organized mobs in
tnls country. Every lynching should meet
with the unqalified condemnation of law
apidlng citizens. Persons who participate
IN such crimes should be punished like
other criminals or murderers
me Congress of the United States
ought to make a law providing that eycry
state which permits the lynching of cti-
zen by an organized mob, should be fined
$Io,oOO Every state should have law
imposing fine of 5000 upon every county
Whlch permits a mob to lynch a citizen.
