The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1901-10-24

Although it has always been the Gus
tom to send the Presidents messages to
Congress in manuscript, there has been
considerable discussion among White
House officials in recent years about
breaking the time-honored custom and
sending the message to each body of Con-
gress in typewriter copy. The matter is
again being agitated, with the chances
more favorable to the form this year than
ever before. Owing to the constantly ex-
panding business of the Government the
Presidents are required to discuss affairs
at greater length each year. The mes
sages are getting longer, and the work
of copying them in manuscript is a heavy
undertaking, especially as 1t has to be
done at the last minute, after the Presi-
dent has finished the message.
1t is not matter of much consequence,
as the message is always put in type at
the Government Printing Office and cop
les furnished everyone Immediately after
the reading.

to the Throne, arrived in Washington last
Sunday, and on Monday made a formal
call on the President. He is 60 years old,
but does not look it. He is about five
feet five inches high and is solidly formed.
He walks with buoyant step; shoulders
well back, and head erect. A thin beard
about three inches long extends from his
chin. His garments are those of other
Japanese men of culture who have visited
frequently in Europe and America or who
reside either here or there-frock coat,
large black felt hat, kid gloves, and dark
trousers and waistcoat. He speaks Eng
ilsh fiuently, as well as two or three other
languages.

About Writing Ones Name.

People who sign their letters with
wild fiourishes or initials only and give
no address offer one of the worst Of
compliments TO their correspondent by
egotisticaIly assuming that their hand
writing must be Of such familiar i'm
portance to him or that they and their
affairs are so present to his mind that
further Identification IS unnecessary.
Having their signature cut from the
end Of letter and the address from its
heading pasted on the envelope which
incloses reply IS a bad compliment
which many persons bring upon them
selves by an objectionable illegibility.
1t Is a singular fact that accidental mis-
spelling or INSTRUMENTATION Of ones

affront and is provocative of more an

where very large doses have been swaI-
