Writing of "One Hundred Years In
the White House" aud recalling some
of the notable entertainments given by
our chief executives. Rene Bache In
The Ladies' Home journal says that
president Madison revived much Of
the formal ceremony which Thumas
Jefferson had discarded. and under his
administration great attention waS
given to the state banpuets, no expense
being spared In making them as fine as
possible President Jackson diSlikrd
ceremony even more than did Prcsl.

fork himself. he always provided each
guest with one silver fork and one of
steel. After dinner he smoked u long
stemmed corncob pipe. He wished to
throw the doors of the White House
wide open to the public, but this idea
he was forced to rellnquish after the
experience of one occasion on which he
extended an III judged hospitality to all
comcrs. The carpet In the east room
was ruined by punch which the moh
spilled In its eagcrncss to get ut the
buckets containing the beverage. the
gowns of many ladies were spoiled,
and the furniture was broken. At his
farewell reception President Jackson
introduced curious novelty In the
shape OF n gigantic cheese which was
cut into pieces and distributed among
the guests"

Knocked Ont the Poetry,

James Russell Lowell was dreamily
strolling along toward his home in
Cambridge one unusually beautiful
night. Slowly. with serene. queenly
majesty, n full moon was ascending
her "azure throne" pouring her lavish
light over all things and softening into
semblances of beauty even the ugly
outlines Of the conventional domestic
architecture round about. Duly illumi-
mated by the loveliness Of the specta-
Gle, the poet rs he passed by the house
of the estimable brother man who sup
piled meat to him regularly for slight
consideration Of profit noticed that val
liable citizen leaning on his fence and
gazing up In kind Of rapt way.
1t pleased Lowell to think that the
butchers immortal soul was bathing
itself In the flood Of semispiritual
moonlight and, pausing, he remarked.
"What beautiful night 1t Is. neigh
borv'
Eyes, Mr.. Lowell. I was Just a.think-
in what a bully night for slaughterin
this would be!'
"Of course, of course" gasped the
poet, beating a hasty retreat.-Argo-

BRICK BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Three People Were Killed and Sew
eraI Badly Injured.

Plttsourg, Pa. April 12-Without warn
ing and with a rush and roar, the four
story brick building at the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Wood street, collapsed to-
day, burying in its ruins a number of peo-
pie, three of whom were taken out dead,
six were badly hurt and several Others
slightly injured.

81, of 5l1 Second avenue; Eugene Bern
hardt, aged %, of 17OS Manhattan street,
Allegheny, salesman for Armstrong &,
McKelvy Company, and Oscar Bigler, car
penter, home supposed TO be near Harris
burg, who was employed by contractors
McGovern & Lyttle.
The building was occupied by the Arm

1t was being remodened by Contractors
McGovern q Lyttle, who were converting
the lower floor of the corner store and
the next door into one large room. which
was TO have been occupied by the lead
company
About forty-eight feet Of the middle
partition had been removed, steel girders
supported by heavy iron posts were in
place, and the finishing touches were be-
ing put on the remOdeing work Stock
was being transferred among the rooms.
and apparently the heavy weight of the
lead and oils was centralized about the
middle of the structure. The second floor
broke through, carrying the two floors
above, making a breach from top TO bot
tom through the center of the building.
Business was being transacted on the
first floor, and Mrs. Jones had Just made
a purchase
