BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
GUEST OF PRESIDENT ROoSE.
 WELT AT DINNER.
Believed to He the First Negro That Ever Dined at the White
 House.

Washington, Oct. lS=Bookef F.. Washington. the Well-knoWn negro educator. president of the Tuskogee, Ala. institute, was guest ot Presi- dent and Mrs. roosevelt at dinner at the White House Wednesday night. Washington is probably the first American negro to dine with presl. dent of United States and his family. although it was reported that Presl- dent Cleveland once entertained negro friend at the White House board.
 Since President Roosevelt occupied the White House there has hardly been a dinner or luncheon without it's guests, and as the president has been so free with his invitations, no special list of guests is prepared and the ushers donot know who the guests will be until they arrive. Wednesday
 night, just before $ o'clock, negro in evening dress presented himself al the White House door. and, giving
 his name. said that he was to dine with the president. Booker Washing ton has made several visits to the N nite House and his face IS known l there. so he was at once admitted into the private apartm ents and the presl' l dent notified of his arrival. No other guest arrived and the dinner was soon served
 Dinner at the White House since the Roosevelts have occupied the man l sion has been family affair, Mrs
 roosevelt and the two children 9p 1 bearing at the table with father
 mother and guests. After dinner the
 president takes his guests to the llb
 rary. and there. over cigars. things political and otherwise are discussed | Wednesday the usual order ol 1 affairs was not disturbed on account
 of the color of the guest of honor. anf
 Washington left the White House
 about 10 o'clock, apparently very much pleased with his dinner and hl: chat with the president.

in mind that you are to salute with the hand that is opposite to the per son you wish to greet Thus, it ne is to pass you on your left you use the right hand, and if he passes you on your right you must employ the left hand.
 The salute consists of these three simple movements: First. when the person is about seven paces away you throw either the right or the left arms, as the case may be, easily and gracefully up in front of you, so the upper arm is perpendicular to the body and the forearm is obliquely across the body, so that the fingers touch the rim of your hat near the front and center of the face; the hand is open, the palm being nearest The face. and the fingers are close together aand slightly bent, with the thumb hld den by being in front of the first finger and nearest the face. Second. you in cline slightly, and remove your hand about four inches in front of your face Third, when the person has passed yeU, you straighten up and throw your arm smartly at the side. You may then continue your walk, posses sed of the gratitied feeling of having been strictly 'in the mode and of having greeted your friend With nat, ural, graceful salute.

4 SHORT MESSAGE President Roosevelt to Break a Time-Honored Ira
 dition. WILL NOT BURDEN HIS PAPER WITH REPORTS OF THE DE.
 APARTMENT.
Hopes to Make His Message One That Will Be Read by the Whole
 People.
MORE CABINET CHANGE TALK.

Washington, Oct. 1S.- President will break one of the time honored traditions of the republic. 1t Will be short It will not contain a long re- view of the detailed work of the va rious departments of the government. For more than hundred years presl- dents have followed the example, first set by George Washington. of making their annual messages a sort of nls- tory of the government during the preceding year In many instances more than half of the space filled by a message has been occupied wltha summary of the reports of heads of epartments-a repetition in con densed form of the same facts and conclusions these officials had them selves submitted either to congress or to the president.
 Mr Roosevelt sees no necessity for this sort of thing. He will eschew the review, confinlng his mention of the reports of the members of his cabinet to those subjects about which he wishes to make recommendations In this new departure President Roose- velt hopes not only to shorten his message, but to make it what mod- ern message intended for the reading of nearly s0,o00. .o0a Americans should be-a compact. direct. modern docu ment. meaty with thought and sug- dry detailed review. which is read, # read at all as matter Of duty and not of choice.
 There has been so much idle talk of reorganization of the cablnat that perhaps it is proper to give the facts, even at the risk of some repetl- | tion. When President Roosevelt in- | vited the members of President Me kinleys cabinet to remain permanent | " at their posts he did it with i'm l preSSive earneStneSS and sincerity. Not only did he do this, but he took occasion several times soon afterward to recur to the matter in cabinet meeting expressing his satisfaction with the situation, and saving he was fortunate to have secured such a good cabinet without any trouble.
 Even if the president wanted to make changes-Whlch he emphatlcally does not-these circumstances would debar him from suggesting them at this time AS for the cabinet mem. bers themselves. most of them did not wish to remain in public life. SO far as personal considerations were con cerned They accepted the lnvlta- tion to stay as matter of duty.

Ex-senator Hanna is quoted as saying that
his mail contains each day number of re-
quests, ranging between half dozen and
dozen, from students in the high schools
and colleges and universities, for copies of
his and other speeches on both sides of the
shipping question, in order that members of
debating teams may familiarize them
selves with the arguments pro and con. The
subject is one Of the most popular debates
now throughout the country, and the results
of these debates, almost invariably favoring
subsidies, are extremely gratifying to Sena-
tor Hanna.

OFew people are aware that at very
recent debate between two strong teams,

New York, and the other representing the
University of Pennsylvania, on the question
of paying subsidies to American ships, the
former taking the negative and the latter
the affirmative of the proposition, the Penn
sylvanians won, and this notwithstanding

traders and democrats, one being very dis

GyIt is to be regretted that three or four
influential republican senators should have
seen fit to secretly nurse grievances against
the shipping bill SO long, without frankly
stating the basis of their discomfort. But
as the matter has been brought to light and
so adjusted as to unite all republicans in
favor of the measure, what might have hap
pened month ago is likely to happen at any
moment, now-that is to say, the passage Of

ping bill will be two-foid: |. 1t will add to
our quasi-military and naval strength, and
give us power and prestige upon the sea
which We sadly lack at present. 2. 1t will
gradually give to our own people the carry
ing of our $500, 100000 worth of foreign
commerce, and hence to our own people the
employment that goes with the payment Of
S2O0,0OO,OOO for carrying our foreign COM
merce, 81 per cent. of which now goes into
the pockets of foreign ship owners.

UAs soon as the shipping bill passes the
senate it will be sent to the house, and at
that end of the capitol there is every assur-
ance that its discussion will not occupy to
exceed two days, SO that its 6rai passage
and approval by President Mckinley may
be expected to occur about the list Of Feb
ruary.
