TREASURES OF THE WHITE HOUSE

A Description of Some Of the Artistic
Pieces o. Furniture and Bric-a-Brae.
'The Art Treasures Of the White
House" Is the title OF an article In the
Woman's Home Companion dealing
with the bric-a-brac that has been ac-
cumulated IN the Executive Mansion
by the Presidents. In the beginning II
his article Mr.. Fawcett says:
There are doubtless IN every large
city in the country larger and more
valuable collections OF bric-a-brac and
art furniture than that to be found in
the private apartments Of the Execu-
tive Mansion. but Il Is a question
whether there Is in the length and
breadth OF the land any other half 80
interesting. Rarity Is. Of course,
universal characteristic OF the artistic
gems scattered through the home OF
the Presidents. but better than that
Is the fact that almost every piece IS
fraught with memories and associa-
tons that make Il a priced possession.
or the whole number probably half
are the gifts OF kings and rulers-toE-
ems Of appreciation from friendly ma
tions-and the remainder. having been
fashioned especially for the White
House. have no duplicates anywhere
else IN the world
This accumulation "a not the pro.
duct Of any particular administration.
President Arthur had. perhaps. more
OF the collectors spirit than has been
inherent In any other man who has
been master Of the White House. and
certainly he made more additions to
its furnishings than any other OF is
occupants.
ANY expenditure which the PresI-
dent himself makes for pictures or
statuary or bric.a-brac or furniture.
unless specially provided for. must
come out OF the hxed appropriation
which Congress makes each year for
the maintenance OF the White House.
Mr.. Arthur chose to spend the major
part OF his allowance In the manner
which has been outlined. Mrs Nc
Kinley, on the other hand. has pre-
ferred 70 devote the rather modest sum

STRIKERS CALLED
RYAN A "SCAB"
A Fight Ensued in Which the
"Scab" Came Out Second
Best.

The. strike of the machinists formerly
employed at the Honolulu Iron Works
has assumed a serious phase Some of
the strikers have now resorted to VIC
lence against the persons of those who
still remain in the employ Of the COM
pany. One workman who was assaulted
is P. F. Ryan of the machine depart
ment. He asserts that one of his assail-
ants is named Mckay and the name of
the other he does not know, but it is a
man whom he can identify.
The assault took place in front of the
street, just after Ryan had finished his
dinner. He went into the restaurant
dined, and while paying for his dinner,
Mckay and one or two other men who
were sitting at a nearby table, called
him "scab" and took other means to
insult him. Ryan says he got up and
told Mckay to come outside if he was
man enough. and prove his statements.
At this, Mckay made a motion as If to
strike Ryan. and the latter let drive with
his right fist and hit Mckay in the face.
At this, one of the men with Mckay
struck Ryan, and as there was pros
pect of an unequal contest. Ryan walk
ed away, as his hand is crippled. He
went to the Occidental Hotel to look for
friends, and finding none, came back to
where Mckay and his companions were
standing. Mckay then led an assault on
him, striking him with ginger ale bot
tie, cutting several gashes on his nose
and face. Ryan swore to a warrant yes
terday charging Mckay with assault and
battery.
