designer of a modern mansion can do no
better than labor to acquire. The best
chooled architect would hesitate to change
IT. The proposition to build p~retentious
additions that would absorb IL as complete
~ as the Capitol extension has absorbed
the older central building could come only
from amateurs.
1t is fortunate that amateur ambition
has in this case overreached itself. While
the scheme was only talked about. the
idea was tolerated: but the eomplacent
exhibition of the plans and models, on an
occasion hat secured general attention,
has made further consideration of them
unnecessary and impossible.
The White House is sufficiently well
adapted TO it's purpose as the residence
OF the President. When ii was built.
IL was the general custom for professional
men, officers of corporations, even great
merchants, to have their offices at home.
The President followed this custom. But
his business has grown, so that the ex-
ecutive establishment occupies a dispro-
pcrtionate space in the house and en-
croaches on the dignity and privacy of the
Presidents household.
This is the My thing that calls for
remedy. Either by providing suitable Of
fees for the President elsewhere, or by
such modest additions as would leave the
mansion unframed, the remedy need not
be difficult. In any case it should be I'M
dertaken only by the most competent hands
and with the best artistic counsel.

THE CHURCH SERVICES
BISHOP FRANCIS PREACHED AT
GRACE CATHEDRAL.
Rev. A. j. Graham's Last Sermon at
Christ Church-At the Cath
Ollie Churches.

The Episcopal churches of Indianapolis
held two services yesterday morning, the
first at $50 and the second at 10 o'clock.
The services in all the churches were well
attended. the largest congregation being at
Grace Cathedral, where Bishop Francis Of
ficiated, and at st. Paurs. Special music
was rendered at both churches. Bishop
Francis preached from the text, THE word
was made flesh. and dwelt among us."-St.
John, l., IA.
He said that the most sacred memories
and the most beautiful hymns cluster
around Christmas. On this day the thoughts
of all persons of a religious turn Of mind
go back to the cradle of babyhood, and the
birth OF the Savior is recalled He said the
day, with its beautiful memories, was an
cft-told tale. The child first hears the
story of the birth of Christ at its mothers
knee; at her Bonded knee the first simple
prayers are learned; at her knee the first
impulses Of love are learned Christmas
annually the greatest event
in the history of mankind. The advent of
Christ on earth changed all things and
united human and divine natures. The
Christmas message is one Of great Joy to
the world; 1t speaks to us of Gods love.
The coming of Christ, he said, reminds us
of the humiliation of the Savior for the
purpose of saving man from sin. The hui
initiation of our Redeemer on earth was
great-His advent among men was an
event that made an everlasting impression
on the world. In closing, Bishop Francis
appealed to all TO make Christmas day one
full of tender memories, Christlike deeds,
happiness.
Rev. A. J.. Graham preached his last SER
mon at Christ Church yesterday morning.
He will preach his first sermon at Roches-
ter, N. Y, next Sunday.
IN CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
Christmas services were attended In the
Catholic churches yesterday more largely
than usual. In most of the churches the
Christmas services began with mass at 5
a m, to be followed by masses at 1880 a.
m. and 1920 a. m, with vesper services at
4 p. m.
The early mass at st. Johns Church was
conducted by Father McCool, and the SER
mon was preached by Rev. +. III. Gavisk.
The music, which had been especially ar
ranged for the day, was exceedingly i'm
p~ressive and beautiful. and the services
were so largely attended that hundreds of
people were compelled to stand during the
entire service. AT 1890 a. m. pontificial
high mass was celebrated by Bishop Chat
ard, assisted by Rev. 5. ]. Donohue ana
James Delaney, with Fathers McCool and
Zirkelbach as deacon and subdeacon. Fa-
Their Gavisk preached the sermon. The
pontiicial vespers, held at 4 p. M, were
conducted by Bishop Chatard and the same
attendants as at the 1890 a. m. service.

is reported as having so successfully robbed
rooming houses in Chicago, st. Louis,
Cleveland and other cities. In one of his

Chicago firm were found. The checks

other articles upon which he had realized
various sums. A large number of letters

The letters indicated that the writer had in

a number OF places here where Burns had
engaged rooms and occupied them for only
one night, but in none of the houses were
valuables missed, with the exception of
Mrs. Coles. Burns confessed to the rob-
berry and restored the ring.

Numerous Groups i'm the Larger Es-
Establishments.

The transient trade of local hotels fell
off to almost nothing yesterday on account
Of the general exodus Of travelling men
towards their homes to spend the holidays,
but the day was. nevertheless, one Of the
busiest of the entire year. The explanation
of this seeming anomaly lies in the fact
that the cuisines of the big hotels in this
city are of such high grade hat citizens
have long since found they can procure a
much more satisfactory dinner and at less
cost on a holiday by going to a high-class
hotel than by purchasing the various ar
ticles required and having them prepared
at their homes. Each year the local holt
day trade of the four leading hotels, the
Denison, Bates, Grand and English, shows
an appreciable increase over that of pre-
ceding years. Yesterday a visit to any of
their palatial dining rooms would have led
one to almost believe that all OF the cityS
fashion n culture had decided TO eat
Christmas dinner in a select hosiery. \
pleasing variation of the custom of taking
holiday Inner in a hotel is the giving OF
dinner parties in this way.

ner parties was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
