No Children in the White House.

Washington Letter Chicago Iuter-Ocoan.
There are no children in the white house
now. 1t is the first administration since
that of Buchanan where there have rot
been children in the Presidents family.
Lincoln had three boys when he came to
the white house. ana the Christmas fes-
tival was celebrated with enthusiasm in
the good oid-fashioned way. with aSauta
Claus. Grant had his three boys and the
pretty Nellie to make merry a Christmas
time Hayes had a complete domestic
household. with rcmpng boys and a win-
some little girl, who has grown to woman
hood and has recently been spending her
honeymoon at the white house, where she
was a child.
Garfield and Arthur had children to cele-
brate Christmas, and Cleveland in the last
year of his first administration had a baby
girl to make Christmas for. Harrison's
children were grown to manhood and wo-
manhod. but he had his grandchildren with
him in the white house, and Baby Mckee
became more celebrated character in the
child history of the white house than any
since Tad Lincoln. In Cleveland's second
administration there were two little girls
to welcome Santa Claus But there are no
children in the white house now. There
are pictures of two beautiful babies in
Mrs. McKinley's room and many fond re-
membranes of them. but they sleep in
the old graveyard at Canton, where they
were buried many years ago.
No President ever occupied the white
house who was fonder of CHI ldreu than the
present chief magistrate. No mistress of
the white house ever had more loving care
for the babies of others than has Mrs Nc
Kinley They both love the prattle OF
children and gather the little ones OF their
friends about them when opportunity Of
fers. But there will be no children to
watch for Santa Claus at the white house
Saturday morning. There win be thoughts
and remembrances Of the children who
welcomed Christmas in the Mckinley cot
tage at Canton twenty years ago,
