MRS. STEVENS NoN-coMm1TrAL
Her Statement Regarding Mrs. Ma
tiOn,x UtterRnces.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Lii
liam NJ. N. Stevens. President of the Ma
tional Womans Christian Temperance
Union, was asked today to make a state
ment as to the attitude of that organza
tion toward the acts of Mrs. Carrie Ma
tion and especially her recent comments
upon the assassination of the President.
Mrs. Stevens replied:
I'VE choose to reserve Judgment con-
cerning her early action, and her later
actions have been so distinctively her
own, with no reference to any society.
either church or temperance, that we have
not felt called upon to say anything.
ct is true that she was once member
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. She may possibly be now. and
she is also a member of Christian
church, but / do not suppose either is
responsible for her deings and sayings
Strange as it may seem, some of the
prominent papers of the country have
been calling upon the Womans Christian
Temperance Union to repudiate state
ments she has made In regard to the as
sassination of the President. l assure you
if we were in the remotest degree resp:n-
sible for any of her utterances We should
hasten to explain or repudiate.
Il sincerely hope that no act or utter
ance of mine has ever been of such
nature that it could be construed TO in
dicate that l lacked patriotism.

GARDENING ON THE YUKOY.
Vegetables Successfully Raised Dur
ing the Far Northern Summer.

Ing tht II aF
The outlook for gardening and some
agriculture in the cold interior regions of
Alaska, along the Yukon, is made quite
encouraging by official reports recently
received at the United States Department
of Agriculture Prof. c. c. Georgenson,
who is in charge of the Alaska expert
ment stations. has spent the summer in
the interior and along the Yukon Valley.
visiting the experiment. Station estab-
lished by the Departmental Agriculture
last year at Rampant. just outside the
Arctic Circle, and other points where ex-
periments were arranged for. Good gar
dens were found all along the route. es-
pecially at Eagle City and Holy Cross
Mission.
Although the season was unusually late
this year, new potatoes, cabbage, cauli-
flower beets, and other vegetables were
ready for the table before the middle of
August, and lettuce, radishes. and tur-
nips grown in the open had been in use
for some weeks. Flower gardens con-
tanning a large variety of ANIMALS grown
from seed furnished last year were In full
bloom At the station at Rampant, rye
seeded the previous far wintered perfect
ly and was ripe in July, Spring seeded
barley had ripened about the middle Of
August, and there was quite prospect
of oats and wheat TO mature.
Extensive areas of excellent land were
found on the lower Yukon. upon which
there was an abundant. and often luxuri-
Gus growth of grasses over six feet in
height The abundant moisture and the
long days during the summer months ac-
count for the surprising luxuriance of
vegetation in that far north region.
One Of Prof. Georgenson's assistants
will make a trip overland from the Yukon
Valley to Prince Williams Sound, taking
the trail from Eagle City. This Will af-
ford opportunity for a reconnaissance of
that region, which is reported to contain
large tracts of land well suited to agri-
culture. A report of this trip and of the
seasons operations of the Alaska stations
as a whole will be submitted to Congress

REPAIRS AT THE CAPITOL.
Placing a New Dome on the Roof
of Supreme Court Room.
Interesting Historical Relics Dis
covered-A Charred Timber N Grim
Reminder of the Burning of the
Structure In the War of 1912.

The work now in progress of placing a
new roof and dome on the Supreme Court
room recalls some interesting history Of
that famous part of the Capitol. When
the Capitol was first built, in 1850. the
room in which the Supreme Court is
now located was intended for the Senate,
and was used as such until the wings
were built as an addition in 1851. When
the British, under General Ross, entered
Washington in 1914 and burned the Capt.
tol this portion was burned along with
the rest
At that time there was no Supervising
Architect of the Capitol, and the work of
reconstruction, vas carried on by Benja-
min H.. Latrobe. gsho was appointed by
Thomas Jefferson as Supervisor of Public
Buildings and who served from 1903 until
1877. 1t was under his direction that the
old Senate was rebuilt, and, as the recent
repairs have shown, he did his work we'll
In fact, when one considers the limited
resources at his command at that time. It
is marvellous that the work should have
been So substantial.
The mass of timbers which were then
used for the ribs of the dome are now
replaced by a few iron girders of about
one-fourth their size. The nails of that
time were all hand made, and either nails
or large iron bolts had to be used for
fastening the huge wooden beams and
girders together in place of the few
rivets used in the steel framework of to-
day. Many of these handmade nails
have been found by the workmen now
employed on the repairs being made
there, as also We're some large iron bolts
that were cut out by hand and used to
fasten the more massive timbers
In crevise in the wall of the east front
there was found a charred stump OF
wood which is supposed to have been the
end OF beam that was burned when the
Capitol was destroyed by fire, and as
new beam was not necessary in that place
during the rebuilding it was left in its
original socket.
When the present work was first started
the wofkmen ripped off the copper roof
preparatory to tearing up the ceiling, and
in so doing found valuable relic 1t
was heavy oblonS piece of copper about
two by four feet, with the names of the
workrnen who had put on the former roof
written across its face in chalk. Mr..
Wood the Acting Architect of the Capitol,
stated that a new roof was put on the
Supreme Court (then the Senate) in 1895,
aId in all probability the oblong piece of
copper was placed there by some of the
workmen employed on that job.
At the head of the tablet written
in large scrdwiing hand: THE names
of those who repaired copper roof
Under this We're the names in the follow
ing order William Adams. James Doug
lass. Thomas Hurdle. jeremiah Hobson,
Richard II. Hoar Prindle Height, An
drew Minitree, George Berry, Robert
Height, Samuel Goldsmith. Benjamin
Bryan William Crook, Frederick Hefiey,
Besides eight labOrers.

This piece of copper is now in the office
of the Supervising Architect.

House made Russell NJ. Young an as

tenant, junior grade, in the navy. Be
fore his death Mr. Mckinley
made other appointments and signed
other commissions, which were sent to
him from here, but the commission of
Lieutenant Young was the last one
which he executed in the White House
During the afternoon the President
and Mrs. Mckinley went for a short
drive about the city. Later they re-
ceived number of friends socially, who
came in TO say good-by, and to wish
them an enjoyable summer. Mrs. Rand.
the wife of Paymaster Rand, was the
last to leave them at the White House
Before taking her departure for Can

a handsome gold ring. One was in
scribed Ida Mckinley to Ellen Hunt"

ent in recognition of their services.
THE PRESIDENTS FARwELL.
The President bade each employe of
the Mansion goodby before starting for
Canton and expressed wish that each
might have a summer filed with pleas
ure and enjoyment. As they walked
through the corridor leading from the
private apartments to the portico the
President met and shook hands with
Thomas F. Pendel, the aged doorkeeper
at the White House. who was on duty
at the entrance and opened the door for
President Lincoln the night when he
went out, never to return alive again.
Mrs. Mckinley walked out leaning on
the arm of her husband and assisted by
Mr.. Mitchell, one of the ushers at the
Mansion. Policeman Parker was on
duty at the door and helped them into
the carriage in waiting. AS the vehicle
rolled away the President bowed and
waved farewell to the officers about
the grounds, and that was the last any
of the White House attaches ever saw
of the President until he returned dead.
The journey to Canton was made
aboard a train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Two special cars, the Olym-
pia and the Hungary, were attached
for the use of the President and his
party. 1t was In the Olympia he made
his famous trip to the, Pacific Coast,
and both cars formed part of the fu-
neral train last week. There was a
small crowd of well wishers at the sta
ton who saw them depart. In the
party, besides the President and Mrs.
Mckinley. were Miss Barber. niece of
Mrs. Mckinley; Ge0ge Barber, her
nephew; Secretary Corselyou. DIR. P. NJ.
Rixey, NJ C. Latta, the Presidents
stenographer; Miss Taylor, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's Nurse; her maid, and three
servants from the Executive Mansion
