T E R S o N AL NOTES

MRS. Roosevelt since her arrival at the
White House. has been busy with its ar
rangement for the comfort Off the family
NOT seeing any visitors but her personal
friends leaves her free to give her entire
attention to these matters. although an
afternoon drive with her children has been
oaiiy enjoyed. 1t looks as II the simplicity
with which the White House will be or
dered the next few years will continue the
great charm Of the home life of the capi-
tars chief citizen. 1t Is understood the
Roosevelt boys will go to the public schools.
That the season of official mourning will
extend only month is generally regarded
as both wise and seehlys This, like all
other matters Of etiquette, depends entirely
on the will Of the chief executive SO far as
his home is concerned. and what is right
ana proper at one period is unnecessary or
useless at another. 1t cannot be too fire.
quenuy repeated that all our official eti-
quette, be 1t for glad or sad occasions has
no deeper foundation than custom and is
subject not only to the changes that time
brings about, but more especially to the
individual opinion Of those in charge Of af-
iairs The general convenience-frst and

ton, but resigned the appointment and
returned TO Harris county, where he
served as district clerk until 1857. IN
that year ne was nominated for lieu
tenant governor on the ticket with
Runnels and resigned his district clerk
ship. He was elected and served two
years and in 1853 was defeated BY
Clark, who was HCuston's running
mate. In 1861 he was elected governor,
served two years and was appointed
on the staff Of General Magruder. He
was later transferred to the depart
ment OF Louisiana and accepted n place
on the staff OF General Tom Green.
The general was killed before Governor
Lubbock reported and he went IN The
stan of General Wharton. In 1854 he
was appointed on the staff of Presi-
dent jefferson Davis and was captured
with him and sent on the same boat to
prison with Wheeler, stephens and
Reagan. Lubbock and Wheeler were
put off at Fort Delaware and stayed
there until December, 1865, when he
was released by the federal authorities
and returned to Houston. In 1873 he
was elected state treasurer on the Rob
erts ticket and held the Office until
1890.
Governor Hogg appointed him on the
penitentiary board and later on the
board of pardOns. Since that time ne
has lived in retirement, enjoying the
love and admiration of his friends and
relatives.
He is truly statesman of the Old
school and his experience has been
one of hardship, love and happiness
combined with the trials and tribula-
lions of a marked political career.

AGED TEXAS STATESMAN.
Ex-Governor Lubbock Celebrates His
Eighty-eighth Birthday.
Houston POST

Austin, Tex.-Today being the eighty
sixth birthday of ex- Governor Frank
r. Lubbock, the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Republic visited him
in a body at o'clock this afternoon
and presented him with a handsome
umbrella and extended congratulations.
The presentation address was made by
President Prather of the university,
and the occasion was indeed a happy
one.
This venerable statesman is still spry
and healthy and manages to get around
every day to see his friends and always
has a good word and advice for young
men.
Mr. Lubbock was born in 1915. and
came to Texas in 1886. His political
career began in 1887 when he was elect
ed assistant clerk of the house of rep
resentatives and was later advanced
to the office of chief clerk. At the
close of the same year he was appoint
ed comptroller of the republic on ac-
count of the resignation of Mr. PeaSe.
He took an active part in the follow
ing campaign and worked hard to de-
feat Lamar, but his efforts were I'M
successful. In 1871 he was elected dis
trict clerk of Harris county and was
again appointed comptroller by HOus-

His Grandfather's Present.

New York CommerciaI-Advertiser
Though still a boy, Kubelik, the vio-
linist, obtains an average fee Of $1,000 for
each recital. The young viOlinists agent
was the witness of a touching sight at
Prague recently. Toward the close of the
day an old man, apparently between so
and go who had evidently travelled far
on foot, judging by the dust on his
clothes and the WEAKNESS of his move
ments. approached the hotel where Kube-
Xix was staying. In a bandanna hand
kerchief he was carefully carrying
supply of fruit, eggs and butter. These
were an offering for Jan. and the aged
donor who had walked so far with his
present was no other than the young
yiOif0iStfS grandfather.

A New York correspondent has sent
the following to LIE Matin of Paris;
Not the least remarkable feature of
the Mckinley assassination was the be-
wildering, lightning rapidity with
which the American public was ap-
prised of it. Less than an hour elapsed
after the two fatal pistol shots rang
through Buffalo before every last clerk
and business man in New York and
Brooklyn knew. through the voice Of
the press. the entire tragedy in its mi
nutest detail. Were it not indecorous
to use a sporting term in connection
with SO tragic an event, one might say
that American journalism beat all rec
ords in the phenomenal speed of that
news gathering.
The reader, seeing in a paper little
more than the results obtained, does
not guess by what heroic efforts. by
what feverish activity, by what mir
acies of energy, he is at times kept in
formed of what is passing. 1t is for
this reason that we reproduce, as it was
described by an eye witness, and as it
has recently been reported in one of the
London papers. the scene which trans
pired on the 9Th of last September in
the Office of one of the greatest. of the
New York evening papers.
1t was exactly 4.29 in the afternoon
and the assistant managing editor was
in the middle of some letter writing al
his desk, when the telephone bell rang
.'Helloi"
''Helloi President Mckinley has just
been shot twice in the breast at Buff
falo, and is mortally wounded"
The voice of the assistant managing
editor trembled a little, and his lips
grew white under his blonde moustache
but with admirable GOODNESS he con
trOlled himself a nd asked.
