Shadows on the White House
Fro m the New York Sun.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Several times
in the last three years there have been
published in the Sun descriptions of the
various singular shadows that have APP
peared from time to time on the north OF
main porch of the White House. One OF
these shadows represented the profile and
bent form of an old woman, with one hand
resting on an indistinct object that resem-
bled spinning wheel This shadow. cast
by the suns rays shining through therail
ing, which is a part of the Colonial struc-
ture at the top of the mansion, appeared
daily at certain hour for two or three
weeks; and as it was about that time that
President McKinley's mother died, the
phenomenon made deep impression on
many superstitious persons.
Last fall another shadow appeared, and
it required no effort of the imagination to
recognize it as a human forearm and hand,
with bent forefnger upheld in the attitude
of warning or reproach Superstitious
folks who saw it every day for fortnight
or SO again had chill, while others re-
marked facetiously that the incident ought
to be comfort to the anti-imperialists who
have so long been predicting calamity IF
the public has regarded these publications
in the Sun as being of mythical order or
mere shadow stories, the afidavits of
all the messengers and guards at the
White House can be brought forward to
substantiate them.
The latest manifestation of freakishness
on the White House portico appeared to-
day. The sun was shining brightly, and
at ten minutes before l O clock a shadow
of nondescript form appeared on the great
pillar at the extreme northwest corner of
the portico. 1t soon took on definite shape,
and at O clock represented the face and
shoulders of President Mckinley in profile
The silhouette was so striking in its accur-
acy that many persons who saw it remark
ed that more correct profile drawing of
Mr. Mckinley could not be made by any
artist. The likeness was not correct one
for more than two minutes 1t gradually
changed with the altering position of the
sun, and at ten minutes past o clock had
assumed remarkably perfect likeness to
the face of the late Queen Victoria, even
to an object on the head resembling crown.
This likeness lasted for two or three min
utes and then gradually disappeared. Two
hours later the same succession of shadow
portraits appeared on the northeast pillar,
at the opposite side of the portico forty
feet away.
