RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT.
Much Bcnehted From His Trip to
the South.

President Mckinley and the distin-
guished party which has been for the past
two weeks the guests of Senator Hanna
at his winter residence at Thomasville.
Ga. arrived in Washington yesterday aft
ernoon at O'Clock. The party included
President and Mrs. Mckinley, Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart, Postmaster General
Smith, DR.. Presley Rixey, of the Navy;
Assistant Secretary Cortelyou. Stenogra-
pher Barnes and attendants. The trav-
elers arrived at the Pennsylvania station
by special train over the Atlantic Coast
Line having left Thomasville Monday
afternoon at 3:11 o'clock. Quite number
of the Presidents friends and attaches of
the White House were at the station to
bid him welcome. Acting Secretary Meik-
lejohn Adjutant General Corbin, Mr. Port
er, Secretary to the President. and Mrs.
Smith were among those who awaited the
Presidents return. Mrs. Smith having
gone to meet her husband the Postmaster
General.
The carriages provided to convey the
members of the party to their re-
spsctive homes were drawn up in line
in Sixth Street near the bridge, just
south of the depot. Their pres
ence attracted considerable attention
and quite number of people
gathered in their vicinity by the time the
train pulled into the station. The special
was sidetracked in Sixth Street in order
that the President might step direct from
the car to his carriage. This he did after
bcwing his acknowledgment of the en-
thusiastic greeting given him by the
crowd when he appeared on the rear plat
form of the car. After a hurried hand
shaking wien his friends he entered the
carriage with Mrs. Mckinley and Adjutant
General Corbin and was driven direct to
the Executive Mansion. The rest of the
party left Immediately after the President.
Mr.. Mckinley looks in excellent health,
and appears to be much benefited by his
sojourn in the South. The special train
which was provided by the officials of the
Atlantic Coast Line was the same which
conveyed the President to Thomasville and
is, perhaps. one OF the most magnificently
appointed in the United States. During
the Presidents stay at Senator Hanna's
home the cars and engine were left al
Thcmasville for his especial accommoda-
ton. in the event that important business
should demand his presence in Washing
ton.

THE breakage in this business is some
thing enormous" said the proprietor of

IN six months 1t seems incredible of
course but those are the figures. and
dare say the other places had about the
same experience Most of the breakage
occurs n washing. 1t has to be done rap
idly, because We can keep only a certain
number behind the counter on account of
the lack of space. During rush days the
boy hasn't time to be careful. He learns
to wash by sort of a sleight-of hand, and
every now ana then he gets a false motion
and away goes glass. We've been open
about four hours today. How many glasses
have broken this morning." he added.
