Those nearest to him have in the
past ten years seen emphasized a quail
ity of the presidents character which
is not often on exhibition, says the
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The well pois-
ed, self controlled man in the White
House seldom appears other than
suave. Sometimes good humorstrength-
ems the geniality. At other times re-
sponsibilities deepen the seriousness.
But the ordinary manner of the presi-
dent shows spirit and soberness within
moderate limits.
The developments at Havana have
revealed how deeply the president can
be moved and how strongly he can eX-
press himself. When the conditions of
scandal presented themselves in all OF
their first hideOusness, there was a
gathering at the White House which
will not be forgotten by those who par
ticipated. The look on the presidents
set face and the short, sharp sentences
which came from his lips will live in
memory. Before the temper of that
council all questions of relative re-
sponsibility, all inclination to express
incredulity, all feeling of personal
friendship for the suspected, anything
which might tend TO minimize the i'm
portance of the discovery, were dissi-
pated. The heads of departments
went out from that conference with
the knowledge that the full power of
the government would be invoked to
the complete exposure of the crimes
and the merciless punishment of all d.
rectly or indirectly concerned. Men
who think the greatest thing in public
life is the pull shook their heads.
They would not believe that this one or
that one would be compelled to suffer
degradation. They argued that influ
ence would save. They refused for
time to accept the revelations. But
the sentiment has changed. All Wash
ington now realizes how terribly in
earnest this president can be.

THE PRESIDENT WHEN INDIGNANT.

His Great Earnestness Depicted at
the Conference In the White House
Over the Recent Developments In
Havana-Cans In the White House
For Umbrellas.
One of the new hotels in Washing
con, which is owned by Il skillful and
popular promoter OF legislation" has
hOnOred several prominent statesmen
by christening its best suits of rooms
by their names and decorating the
walls and furniture with their portraits,
says the Chicago Record. There are
five stories of living rooms in the build
ing, and at each of the four corners of
every floor Is suit consisting of sit
ting room. bedroom, office and bath,
arranged especially for the accommo-
dation OF members of congress. These
suits are named in honor of President
Mckinley, Speaker Henderson, Sena-
tors Burrows and Gallinger, Represent
atives Grosvenor and Dolliver, Admiral
Dewey and General Corbin. Over the
entrance to each of these apartments is
IL handsome label bearing the name of
the man thus honored, and above the
trait handsomely framed. But the
most novel feature remains to be de-
scribed.
The furniture of these rooms was
made to order at one of the celebrated
factories of Grand Rapids, and before
it was vanished the portraits of the
statesmen and soldiers 1 have named

steads. bureaus, washstands. sofas and
chairs with great care and skill; then Il
heavy coat of transparent varnish was
applied, which brings out their fea-
lures very effectively and protects
them from being injured by human
contact. For example, when Repre-
sentative Grosvenor awakens in the
morning he can see the classic features
of Speaker Henderson cleaning from
the footbOard of his bed; when Repre-
sentative Kerr of Mansfield, o., calls
for n pitcher of ice water, he has to tell
the bellboy not to place it on the highly
polished center table for fear of mOis-
tening the venerable head of his col
league, General Grosvenor, who al
