WHITE HOUSE ROOMS CLOSED.
Visitors Not Able to See Many of the
Historic POrtrrIts.


Only comparatively small section of
the White House is now open to the in
spection of visitors, by an order issued by
the President several weeks ago. and as a
result there is deep disappointment on
the part of the visitors that the Red
Green, and Blue parlors and the corridor,
along the sides of which are portraits of
former Presidents cannot be seen. The
order was issued to prevent throngs of
persons destroying the handsome carpets
and scattering mud from their shoes all
over the lower section of the house.
The rooms now closed to public view,
except On the occasion of some of the
great evening receptions, are the most
beautifully furnished and decorated in the
White House, and while the great East
Room is far more imposing in its size and
dimensions, Ii has not the same elaborate
furnishings. Before the portraits of for
mer Presidents and their wives became so
numerous most Of them hung in the East
Room and along the long corridor, but
now that there are portraits OF every
Executive, they are widely scattered
and not confined to one apartment
There is one room, however, in which
some of the best work of the artists is
displayed, the one in which hang the
portraits of John Tyler, James K. Polk,
and Presidents Hayes and Harrison. Near
fy all are full-length pictures and usually
the most admired of those in the White
House President Tylers portrait was
painted in 1864 by the artist G. p. a.
Healy. who also painted those of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Polk.
Mrs. Tylers picture hangs near that OF
her husband and is the work of the artist
Anelli. President and Mrs. Harrison's
pictures were the product of American
artists, and those of President and Mrs.
Hayes were painted by Huntington. Mrs.
Hayes picture was presented TO the
White House by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Association, and that of Mrs.
Harrison by the Daughters OF the Revo-
luton. Mrs. Polk's portrait was given by
the women Of Tennessee.
In room near by is the handsome. full
length portrait of President Arthur. who
paid for his own picture President Har-
rison is said also TO have paid for his. but
as rule the portraits of all other Presi-
dents were the gifts of associations or in
dividuals Washington's portrait hangs in
the corridor facing the Green Room. and
that of Mrs. Washington hangs in the
East Room. Only those in the East Room
are now seen by the public generally, and
to get glimpse of the inner apartments
a permit is first necessary. This is given
usually, however, only TO people well
known.

BOARD OF TRADE PLANS.
Executive Committee Meets and Con
siders Celebrations.


The executive committee of nine mem
bers of the Board Of Trade, which is pre-
pairing plans for the celebration Of the
Capital Centennial, held a we'll attended
meeting at the Board of Trade rooms last
night The first business discussed was the
raising of funds for the celebration. Sew
eral plans were suggested and it was final
ly decided to let the matter rest in the
hands of a finance committee appointed
from the members of the committee pres
ent last night. A subcommittee of three
was also appointed TO consider the plans
for the celebration.
This committee held meeting immed-
lately after the adjournment OF the regular
meeting and discussed the plans presented
three events be celebrated. Washington's S
Birthday. February p; Fourth of July. and
the opening OF Congress, December /. The
plan for the celebration of the first named
event consists of colonial ball to be given
on the order of the inaugural balls. a large
hall TO be secured and decorated in an ex-
tenslye manner The plans for the cele-
bration of the other events have not been
decided upon. but the cost of the entire
programme has been considered and it
is thought that $4,000 will be sufficient to
foot the bill.

The Stock Market.

New York, July 7.Sentiment on the
stock exchange favored lower prices
during the greater part of to-day's ses-
sion, but the feeling completely changed
in the late dealings and prices were
brought well above yesterdays level

mated in the southwestern group of
railroads. Texas and Pacific was the
first of these to advance, but the larg-
est buying as well as the greatest gain
in price was shown by st. Louis South
western preferred, which rose two points
on the publication of the May state
ment of net earnings, showing a sur
plus over expenses of $S6,4SS, compared
with S7,256 last year. Missouri Pacific,
Kansas and Texas preferred, Wabash
preferred, Texas and Pacific and st.
Louis Southwestern preferred all rose
between one and two points and aroused
an active buying movement in other
portions OF the list. IT was notable,
however, that most of the stocks which

At WOODMONT BY THE SCI.

Woodmont, the cosy little summer re-
sort on the west shore, is beginning to
waken from its slumbem of the past
eight months and take on the usual robe
of seashore activity Nearly all the
cottages are occupied, and those that
are not are being prepared for the OPEN
ing of the season, which really takes
place about the 18th of this month.
The Bonslene, Pembroke and most OF
the boarding houses were opened for
the season about the first of July but
one of the proprietors said yesterday
that the season in all probability would
open in full blast later this year, and
that 1t would close little later than in
former years.
Although there are a number of guests
at the hotels, they will not be full until
about the middle of the month. There
are several new cottages that will be
noticed this season, the largest and
handsomest being that of Mrs. Cowles
of Ansonia. This house, which will be
occupied by Mrs, Cowles during the
summer, is a magnificent structure and
is almost directly in front of the Bon
silene, though much nearer the water
front. 1t is the largest private dwell
ing in Woodmont and is beautifully fin
ished in hardwood throughout. Elec-
tricity gas, splendid system Of plumb
ing are among the improvements In the
house The house has about twenty
rooms and the outside is very attrac-
tive, being entirely finished in shingles.
The site is one of the prettiest along the
shore, and when completed Mrs Cowles'
house will be one of the finest along the
Connecticut shore. Mrs. Cowies ana
her family will make Woodmont their
home hereafter, and the house will be
ready for occupancy about the goth of
July.
AS vet there are not so many New
Haveners in Woodmont as there were
in former seasons, but later many more
are expected to go down.
Many from New Haven spent the
Fourth of July at the pleasant resort
and enjoyed the fine display of fire
works exhibited on the Point in the
evening.
Some of those from this city occupy
ing cottages are Edward Lawrence, |
Burton Mansfield, Colonel Lee, Edward
II. Clark, George G. Powning, L. H.
Nesbit. Robert T. MerWin, II. s. Smith T
and Mr.. Geiger, all with their families |
General George H. Ford and wife ar
