AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Quite Number of Callers Received BY the
President.
Great Pressure for Invitations to the
Different Official Re-
ceptiOns.

The rainy weather of the last few days
has prevented the President taking his
morning walk. This morning he went to
his Office early, and before 1 o'clock had
seen many callers. These included Secre-
tary Hitchcock Senators Allison, Kyle,
Pritchard, Carter, Elkins and Hanna, Rep
resentatlves Grosvenor, Baker, Gamble,
Pierson, Jack and Mudd. together with nu-
merous visitors, calling with these officials
and separately.
Senator Hanna was accompanied by some
Ohio constituents, who, he solemnly assert
ed. did not want office because they are
from Ohio
Senator Pritchard and Mr. Pierson talked
about political affairs in North Carolina.
The Demand for Invitations.
Secretary John Addison Porter, who has
direct charge of all matters relating to So
cial occasions at the White House, says
that the demand for invitations to the re-
ceptions this year has been greater than
ever. To one unnitiated in the work there
might be an idea that little trouble would
be caused to any one by the labors connect
ed with these receptions but the answers to
letters alone are a physical burden of
large proportions. In the two social sea-
sons prior to this and in the half of the
season now gone Secretary Porter has re-
ceived and answered over $500 letters.
These letters cannot be answered in a for
NAL manner and require personal answers.
All Of the letters, as a rule are from
people of sufficient standing to command
attention. In addition to these the White
House is daily visited by senator's, repre-
sentatives and others in official life asking
that invitations be sent. These have to be
carefully handled. Out Of 1000 or 5000
requests only about $500 invitations can be
sent to each reception, as the White House
will comfortably accommodate only about
1000 because Of the lack of space. Thou
sands who want to attend have to be re-
fused, and this delicate work has to be
performed by Secretary Porter
Still another trouble is that many people
are put down for one reception and desire
to attend another, for which the quota may
be full, entaiiing almost endless cor
respondence, and in the end refusal.
Everybody cannot attend the army and
navy reception, yet everybody wants to do
SO. The officers of the army and navy and
their families make up nearly all of the
total number to be invited, leaving a
small number for others.

JOHN RUSkIN is DEAD.
Noted Essayfst and Art Critic Passes
Away, Aged EIEhty-One.

He was the only son. Of a wealthy wine
merchant. Scotchif,an by birth, from
whom he derived IN childhood a fondness
Tor art and from whom he inherited a for
tune of EGO, 600, most Of which he has spent
in charities and pfiilanthropic schemes and
Tor the promotion Of sound art. In 1886 he
entered Christ Church Oxford, where he
graduated in 1912, having gained the New
algate prize In 1889 by poem entitled Sal
sette ana Elephanta." Up to 1916 he con-
tlnued to write verses for numerous periodi-
calls. A collection of his poems was issued

!; MI r, Ruskin first drew public attention by
ms Modern Painters.' In preparation for
the later volumes of Modern Painters" and

works and received his cordial support.
Ruskln was one of the greatest modern
masters of English prose, especially in the
department of imaginative and poetic de-
scr1ptfon. His influence as a thinker was,
however, impaired by his whims. his puz-
zling contradictions and his overvehemence
OF statements, it has been said.

bought in 1871 at Coniston, in the English

Dear Sir: Yours of the -2Sth strikes me
as rather amusing You will have to look
further for pension business.
Like many others, I enlisted in the 4th
New Jersey Volunteers, did my duty, re-
ceiVed my discharge and came home feeling
better physically than l ever have before
or since. The army was for me. and doubt
less many others, sanatArfum, that gave
me appetite for anything digestibie and
thirty additional pounds of avoirdupois

so, should like to pay Uncle Sam a pen
Sion New Jersey regiments saw no active
service during the past war and lost very
few men by disease, the 4th two, 1 believe

1t certainly was not active service or i'll
treatment that did it.
