President and Mrs, Mckinley Have
No Guests Today.
MANY REMEMBRANCES RECEIVED
Floral Tributes Sent to the Late
George Marshall.
A PACIFIC COAST TRIP

President and Mrs. Mckinley are at the
White House alone today. Consequently
the day has been an exceedingly quiet one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley. contrary
to their custom, could not come to Wash
ington to take Christmas dinner with the
President No invitations were sent out for
others to dine at the White House. Thus
Christmas has never been more quietly
spent at the executive mansion.
President Mckinley went out for a morn
ing walk, remaining about twenty minutes
When he returned he went to the private
part of the house Although his office had
been prepared for him he did not enter it
during the morning. About 1:3O o'clock
President and Mrs. Mckinley took lunch,
this being their regular hour. Dinner will
be served about I o'clock.
The President ordered a beautiful flora |
wreath sent to the home of the late George
Marshall, who was policeman assigned to
White House duty and who died yesterday.
The attaches of the White House also sent
wreaths.
Remembrances of the Day.
There were no callers except Mrs J. A.
Porter. She called with her pretty little
daughters. of whom Mrs Mckinley is fond
The little ones bore presents for President
and Mrs. Mckinley.
Express wagons rolled up to the house
all during the morning, taking boxes and
bundles for the chief magistrate and wife
Many of them were from personal friends
but others were from admirers in all parts
of the country, and even in Hawaii Cuba
Puerto Rico and the Philippines MANY
presents were sent out from the White
House, two attaches and a horse and bug
gy being engaged in the distribution during
all of the first part of the day. The Presi-
dent and his wife exchange presents with
members of their official family and with
close personal friends Mrs Mckinley was
engaged all week in arranging presents.
There are few public men in the city, but
the President will be in his office at the
usual time tomorrow, and will be ready to
transact all business coming before him.
May Go to the Pacific.
The President will, in fact, take no. holi-
day for good while now. But the chances
are that he will go to the Pacific coast in
the spring. He has desired to go there for
a long time, and few days ago told Sem
ator Perkins that he would go next spring
if possible. The battle ship Ohio will he
launched at the Union iron works in the
spring, and this is the occasion which will
take the President to the Pacific if moth
ing stands in the way. The people of that
section of the country have appealed often
for his presence, and have the assurance
that the visit will be made when possible.

Interesting Interruption.

Interesting Interruption.
There was an interesting interruption to
the work of the mobiles Just when they
seemed to be in earnest. Potentate Frank
H. Thomas made himself heard above the
hustle and announced the presence of Mr.
John H. Atwood of Leavenworth, KAN
the imperial potentate of the Mystic Shrine
He was given a characteristic Shriner
greeting, and when 1t had subsided he made
prief but exceedingly impressive speech
he was visfbly moved by the scene before
him and said the occasion was peculiarly
IN Keeping with the tenets of Masonry
which placed charity above all things. The
highest form of charity was embodied in
What the mobiles were doing, because by It
the benefcenee was being extended where
it was most needed and would be most
practical. The love- he said, which tied us
TO our families to our homes and to each
other savored sometimes of selfishness but
IN the love which is eXemplified by the
greatest of all virtues, charity, was abso-
lutely free from the gross and as pure and
unsullied as the fountains that gush from
me mountain side or the light that CLEANS
from the eternal stars.
When he had concluded the usual ques-
ton was asked:
Whats the matter with Atwood?"
The chorus came emphatically:
He's all right
who's all right"
THE imperial potentate."
Mr.. Atwood was then introduced person
ally to most of those present, and after
ward In company with those officers of
Almas Temple who were present, proceed
ed upstairs and inspected the paraphernalia
of the temple
Over 900 baskets, boxes and bags were
sent out, and probably 100 baskets that
were brought by poor people, who had
learned of the Christmas giving, were filled
and the bringers sent away smiling and
satisfied.
The Almas Temple mobiles had appro-
priated about $500 in cash toward the
event, but very large number of dona-
tions were received in addition.

work yesterday were Harry Standiford,

Fire at BOwmanville.

On Tuesday night of last week fire
broke out in the numbering town of Bow
manville, this county, and two frame
houses were entirely consumed. The
buildings were the property of the Bow
man Lumber company, and the loss on
them is about $500. One of the houses,
in which the fire broke out, WAS unoccu-
pied, but was to have been tenanted the
following day. Tile other one was occu-
pied by w. II. Culmer and family, who
were awakened at midnight by the fire
in the adjoining unoccupied building.
The neighbors were aroused, but the fire
had gained such headway that they were
unable to save the house and the flames
soon spread to the Other building. Be-
ing unable to prevent the destruction of
the house occupied by Mr.. Culmer, they
began carrying out his household goods
and succeeded in saving most of them
before they were damaged by the fire.
No cause of the origin of the fire has been
ascertained, but it is evident that is was
the work of an incendiary.
