STILL THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Roosevelt Continues the Popular
DesIgnation

President Roosevelt has decided that
the official designation of the Presi-
dents residence during his administers
tion shall be white House." During
the period of mourning, stationery
with a black border was used, on
which are printed the words "EXecu-
tive Mansion, Washington" Now that
the period has ended. the personal and
official stationery will all bear the
words white House, Washington"
The American people have called it
White House for nearly century.
Some presidents have chosen to have
it designated as the Executive Mansion
on their personal as well as their ofii-
cial correspondence. President and
Mrs. Roosevelt easily fall in with the
popular fancy.

Lord Kelvin, says an English paper
quoted in Electricity, once paid a visit
with a friend to some WELL known cleo
trical works. "They were escorted over
the workshops by the senior foreman,
a man of much intelligence and an en-
thusiastic electrician. Entirely una
ware of his visitors identity, he min
utely explained the details of the plant
and machinery and lectured him in his
role of layman quite professionally.
Lord Kelvin's friend was on the point
of interruption several times, but an
amused signal from the great master
of electricity kept him silent. When
the tour of inspection was complete,
Lord Kelvin quietly turned to the fore
man and asked: What, then, is cleo
tricity?' This was a poser for the man,
who, somewhat shamefaced, confessed
that he could not say Well, we'll,
said Lord Kelvin gently, that is the
only thing about electricity which you
and l don't know "

NEW THANKSGIVING ORDERED.
Governor shaw Sets Aside a Second
Day for a Little Girl.


From the Philadelphia Record.
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 12.-Gov. Leslie
NJ. Shaw to-day issued a special
Thanksgiving proclamation to accom-
modate a little girl, who was i'll on
the 2Sth and was unable to partake
of the usual turkey repast. The Gov
ernor also sent a fine turkey for her
special Thanksgiving dinner.
A few days ago the Governor receiv-
ed this letter, which resulted in the
special proclamation:
Dear Governor: Please can we have
another Thanksgiving day, and have
it next Thursday? l was sick and
could not eat any turkey or any other
good things. l amt very big, but
like turkey. Please let us have 1t. Your
friend. Mary.
This proclamation was sent directly
to Mary:
Having been informed that Mary
, of -, Iowa, was i'll on the
2Sth day of November, 1901 and was
thereby prevented from joining in the
festivities incident to Thanksgiving
day, 1, therefore, recommend that at
q convenient hOhA OA AhOiiudys DSNs -
1901, Mr.. and Mrs. -, together with
their family and such young friends as
Mary may choose to invite assemble in
the family dining room, there with
thankful hearts for country, home and
the blessed influence of children, to
partake of such bounties as are served
in Christian America on the day ap-
pointed for national thanksgiving, and
that special attention be given that
Mary shall be bountifully supplied
with that portion of the national bird
and such other delicacies most congen-
ial to her.

of Maj. Gen. John C. fremont, U. S.
A. Some authorities locate his birth
place in Savannah, Ga, while others
make him native of Charleston, S. c.,
which place appears to have the best
claim to that honor. Maj. Gen. Andrew
Jackson's birthplace Is also mixed in
the same manner. being sometimes To-
Gated in North Carolina and at others
In South Carolina, with the latter state
having the best claim. But these are
not rare cases of errors in many books
of reference. An encyclopedia that re-
fers to Jasper, Ca, and never mentions
heroic Sergeant Jasper, can hardly be
called reliable; or one that tells us Col.
Jefferson Davis became a brigadier
general of volunteers in the Mexican
war-which l doubt-but fails to men
ton that he was appointed a brigadier
general (declined) in the regular army,
cannot be relied upon for facts. Only
a few days ago l read in an encyclo-
pedia land it is only recently that I
have been bothered with one) that Gen.

people who depend upon such reference
books make bad plumbers in biograph-
ical and historical writing.
In the notice Of the recent interment
at the Arlington National Cemetery OF
the remains of Lieut. Joseph Armis-
tead Carr, of Roosevelt's Rough Rid
ers, he is called "a great grandson of
Gen. Walter K. Armistead of the first
class graduated from West Point. This
Is incorrect in one particular, it being
the second, and not the first class,
from which he graduated. Joseph c.
Swift of Massachusetts, and Simon NJ.
Levy of Maryland, were the only mem
bers of the first class graduated in
1902. Cadet Armistead entered the
Academy on May I, 1901, and gradual
ed March 5, 1903. Cadet Swift, the first
graduate, entered on May IL, 1900, and
graduated on Oct. IL, 1902. And yet we
hear it stated that the Academy was
established in 1902, and the coming
year will witness it's centennial. While
the official records put Cadet Swift
into the Academy on May u, 1900, the
formal opening was nearly two years
later
Congress, on March 16, 1902, passed
an act which created the corps of en-

the wish of Washington, made Mai.
General of the United States Army,
ard on the death of Washington. he
succeeded to the chief command.
There is only zone grain of truth" in
this statement. When war with France
seemed probable x-President George
Washington was called from his retire
ment at Mount Vernon by President
Adams, and by Congress made leuten-
ant general and commander in chief of
the army. He accepted and at once
formed plans to enlarge the army. At
his request Hamilton was appointed
inspector general with the rank of ma
Jor general, which gave him no authori-
~ to command troops in the field. he be-
ing simply a stan officer. Nor did he
succeed Washington in the chief COM
mand Of the army. Even If he had
been a major general In the field and
not of the STAFF, he was ranked by
Maj Gen. Charles c. Pinckney, whose
commission ante-dated Hamilton
eighteen days. Gen. James Wilkinson

I dislike to correct my "Boss''-not
a political, but business one-in regard
to the town of Jesup, Ga. If, as he
says, it was named for the New York
capitalist, who was interested in the
old Macon and Brunswick Railroad, his
name was Jessup-one Morris K. Jes-
sup. Maj. Gen. Thomas S. Jesup, U.
S. A., has a lake named for him in
this (Orange) county, but public Off
Gals and newspapers call it Lake Jes-
sup, just as they call Fort Basinger in
correctly, Fort Bassinger or passenger.
Col. Estill also says Gen. Anthony
Wayne had land granted him and lived
a short time in Georgia. If I am not
mistaken he was a citizen of that
state when he died, Dec. Is, 1895, at
which time he was general-in- chief,
or commanding general of the United
States Army. For a very short time
he represented the Savannah district
in Congress, but owing to some irregu-
larities in his election he was soon sue
ceeded by Gen. James Jackson. His
son, James M. Wayne, also represent
ed the district in 1929, and later was
appointed an associate justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
His descendants are still among Geor-
gia's most honored people.
In last Saturdays Atlanta, Ca,
Journal my good friend Col G. N.
Saussy has an article on Lees Au-

most prominent of that great comman-
der's movements in battle. / am glad
that Col. Saussy says: eff the title
of this paper misplaces the fact, let
others find a more forcible or express
sive phrase" Had this article been
about Gen. Hooker, or Gen. Hood or
Gen. Custer, or Gen. Forrest the term
"audacity' might be quite appropriate;
but with my very high regard for Gen.
Robert r. Lee as a Christian gentle
man and an accomplished soldier, 1
should select "Sagacity' as a more fit
ting term for Col. Saussy's compre-
hensive but compact article Audacity
is too often applied to men and events
that should never be mentioned in con-
nection with such a noble minded, hu-
name soldier, as Gen. Lee always
proved himself to be. The sagacity of
| his Gettysburg movement was de-
stroyed only by the merest chance of
natural defense.
