duced in Council.
Alderman James NJ Dixon said yester-
day that he had received no reply from
Manager Weiss or his attorney Mr.. Emile
Newman, to his letter of recent date with
reference 10 the free pratique given certain
Objectionable characters at the thealer.
IF Mr. Weiss or his attorney have any
doubts as to my earnestness in this mat
ter said MIR. Dixon yesterday, "they will
soon be undeceived. The ordinance which
| intend to Introduce in Council, unless
assurance be given that the evil COM
planned OF Will be remedied immedia tely,
has already been prepared and will be in
troduced at the meeting of Council We'd
nesday night. / have legal advice TO the
effect that the matter is one in which
Council has authority to act, and / have
little doubt of what the result will be"
Mr.. Dixon furnished the following copy
of his letter to MIR. Weiss. for publication:
Mr.. S. II. Weis, Manager Savannah The
alter: Dear Sir-Complains are frequently
made by citizens of the fact that women
whose dress and bearing advertise their
character are permitted free access 10 the
theater during performances there to the
great annoyance, and, frequently, serious
embarrassment of gentlemen who are ac-
companied by ladies. Not infrequently la
dies and gentlemen are sandwiched be-
tween these people. 1t has got to the
point when not a few citizens hesitate to
take lady members of their families to the
theater. ] do not wish TO have any ordi-
nance passed that will unnecessarily inter-
fere with your management or will seem
TO be harsh to this unfortunate class, but
unless the evil, of which j complain, is
remedied / will feel it my duty to intro
duee an ordinance on the subject. j am
sure that il is your purpose and desire to
have the theater as free from objections OF
this character as you can, and that it will
only be necessary TO call your attention TO
the matter. A policeman stationed al the
door who is familiar with this class would
carry out any direction on the subject that
you might desire in order TO accomplish
the result indicated The chief of police or
the Mayor would give him the necessary
order. Yours very truly,
James M. Dixon.
Many people have given their indorse-
ment of Mr.. Dixon's stand in the matter
and it is safe to say that the majority OF
the patrons of the theater are heartily in
sympathy with his course.

WILL LAY THE CABLE.

New York, Oct. 14.-Clarence II. Mack
ay, president of the Commercial Gable
Company, has written to Secretary Root,
quoting the latter's statement made pub
lie yesterday, that the war department has
nothing to do with the matter of permit
ting the laying of another cable to Cuba
This, he assumes, disposes of Secretary
Ayers threat to use the military power
OF the war department to prevent the
landing of the cable.
Mr.. Mackay says if this assumption is
correct. he will begin laying the compet-
ing cable in the hope that the Western
Union Telegraph Company will take the
matter into the courts for settlement.

MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE
MORE THAN HALF CENTURY AGO

Hospitality and unpretentiously. Ia fact
Just as we had been accustomed to do
at home in Virginia
Il remember that il was customary
during the session of congress TO en-
terrain guests at dinner in the White
House twice a week. The former of
these was usually attended by about
twenty prominent public men. the per-
sonal and political friends of my father.
The second was on somewhat larger
scale. 1t usually included members
of the diplomatic corps and the num-
Der of guests was generally about
forty. But these dinners were always
very simple affairs and they ended at
what would be considered now ridic-
ulously early hour.
Then on other evenings it was Gus
tomary for the presidents family to
be informally at home, that is to re-
ceive calls from friends and acquaint-
ances. But even on these occasions the
visitors always departed before 10
o'clock. At that hour the White House
was closed and the family retired"
Although Mrs. Semple is nearly
so years old she takes an active interest
in all current affairs. She receives
many invitations from people in public
life in Washington and although she is
of course unable to accept any of these.
she is very pleased to have them as a
proof that she is not forgotten by those
who are in and of the world in which
she was once leader.

Living quietly in the big brick build
ing known as the Louisa Home. in
Washington, D. c.. is white haired
woman who was the mistress of the
White House more than half a century
ago. By the world at large her very
existence has been forgotten nor would
the mention of her name, Mrs. Letitia
Semple, recall any memory whatever
TO the ordinary reader. 1t was as Lee
titia Tyler that the white haired old
lady first became known to Washing
ton society. in the days when the capt.
tol city was scarcely more than a
country village, containing a few fine
public buildings separated by long
stretches of nearly bottomless mud.
She was the second daughter of Pres
ident John Tyler and she was a Vir-
ginia belle in the days when that was
the clearest title TO beauty that could
be bestowed in this country
Tyler's administration seems long
way back to most of us. 1t seems
strange to think that this serene faced
woman, who is still active and vigor-
GUS, knew and talked with Webster
and Clay and Calhoun and the other
leaders of that period which was so
prolific Of great men. Webster she
saw often and she describes him as a

''At the time Of our coming to Wash
ington," said Mrs. Semple, in recalling
her White House experiences of fifty
years ago, my mothers health was
too poor to admit of her taking active
charge of the duties naturally devolv-
ing upon the wife of the president My
elder sister and myself had our newly
made homes in Virginia to supervise
and my. youngest sister was only a
child. Therefore, by common consent,
the wife of our brother, Robert be-
came the mistress of the White House
so far as the public side of the life
| there was concerned. However, my
other sister and myself were there a
good part of the time.
s.. This arrangement continued until
after my. mothers death, which &C.
CURED in the White House. Then my
brother established himself in law
practice in Philadelphia, and his wife
wished to make her home there. Mean
while my husband had been appointed
a paymaster in the navy, and as that
led to his being away from home a
great part of the time, came here
