kinds. While they tack up smilax on
the ceilings and walls, draping it in
festoons, carpenters put the great table
on its trestles, screw its parts together
and wedge up the whole affair so that
it shall be firm.
The electricians meanwhile are put
ting in wires and devising new and
beautiful effects in lighting. When the
table has been put up, flannel is tackled
upon it, and, the cloth having been
laid over this, the festive board is
adorned with electric bulbs of various
colors to harmonize with the floral
decorations. The crystal chandeliers
and mirrors are adorned with greenery
and the large made pieces placed in po-
sition. Lastly the room is swept up in
time for the dust to settle before the
fun begins.
The expense involved in entertaining
on such a scale is enormous. A state
dinner at the White House costs some
thing like $1,000, varying, of course,
with the number of guests. At a small

twice that number will be entertained.
A reasonable reckoning for the dinner
is Sc per head, with So 4 head extra
for wine. But necessarily there are in
cidentals which add hundreds of dol
lars to the bill.
To serve properly state dinner at
the White House requires one head
cook and two assistant cooks. OF
course extra scullions are engaged to
do dishwashing and other incidental
labor. The caterer furnishes all the
food. and the culinary department of
the executive mansion is placed for the
time being under his management and
authority. the household staff contrib
uting as much help as possible.
This method is adopted because it
makes things much easier just as
would be the case in any private
house. 1t is Mrs. Roosevelt, however,
who decides upon the menu As a rule,
Mrs. Roosevelt herself superintends
the decoration of the table. a happy
circumstance, inasmuch as she pos

A. Vanderlip of the National City bank
to induce Mr.. Gage to settle in New
York.
The institution of which Mr. Gage
becomes the head has a capital of S.
100000 and a surplus of $ll.432,000.
Among the trustees are William Rock
efeller. James Stillman, ID. o. Mills.
Marshall FiCld and others whose inter
ests are allied to the Standard Oil com
pany. The salary which Mr. Gage will
receive in his new position has been
variously stated in Wall street at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
EX-Secretary Gage is now siXty-fye
years old. He is Il native of New
York and lived at Rome until 1870. lie
was at that time working as Il clerk
in the Oneida Central bank, but. believ-
ing salaries were higher in the west,
he went to Chicago. In Chicago he
went from clerkship in lumber con-

which he was coanected from 1865 un-

President McKinley's cabinet. He was
the president of the First National
bank from 1891 until he resigned from

60 down in the social history of the ma
tional capital as the most brilliant
known in recent years.
With such a reputation established
Washington society naturally expected
that the reception and banquet to
Prince Henry would eclipse all previ-
Gus social functions. Nor was it dis
appointed. Not only the White House
conservatories. but the city propagat-
ing gardens, were drawn on for flow
ers and ornamental plants. The sup
ply of roses proving inadequate for the
lavish decoration required, the markets
were secured to supply the deficiency.
AS the price of fine roses at this sea-
son is about 81 apiece and they were
purchased in quantities, the expense
was considerable.
The banquet to Prince Henry was
served in the east room. This is an
other innovation of the Roosevelts.
The first time this room was used for
a state dinner was on the occasion of
the spread" given to the diplomatic
corps in January. when the whole of
the historic apartment was literally
covered with flowers and ornamental
plants.

No. 43
CONTRACT FREE DELIV-
ERY.
Bill to Classify Rural Free De-
livery up in the House.

There is a bill before Congress
to classify Rural Free Delivery
and place the carriers under the
contract system.
The opening argument was
made by E. f. Loud, Represen-
tative from California and Chair
man of the Committee on Post
Offices aud Post Roads.
Mr.. Loud, declared that in his
opinion, the question involved is
of more Importance than any
which would come before the
present Congress. Upon the so.
luton would depend whether the
rural free delivery service would
cost ultimately $50, 100000 or
$50, 900, 900 per annum. 7 o
rural free delivery service up to
this time. he said, had been po-
litical one, and it had given
many members of Congress their
first taste of the sweets of public
patronage. He traced the his.
tory and rapid growth of the ser
vice and cost, declaring that it
was the most eXtravagant in the
public service. AT the inception
the carriers received $500 per an
mum. They now receive 5000.
If the salary system is to be CON
tinued they will eventually re-
ceive $500 or 5000 At present
$500, GOO is being spent for the
supervisory force.
The bill was carefully drawn.
MIR. Loud said, to provide against
the possibility of the recurrence
of the star route scandals. Only
one contract could be given to
one man, who must live in the
district where the route is To-
Gated and WHO must perform the
service himself.
MI. Loud charged that a prom
i>e had gone forth that if the
present system were continued
the members of Congress would
control the appointment of the
carriers in the near future as they
had in the past.
Mr.. Swanson argued that the
present system would be more ad-
vantageous to the rural commun-
itieS than the contract system.
He contended that if the service
were made effective it would
eventually become self-support-
ing
The contract system, he said,
would allow the building up of a
political machine by permitting
the department to pass on the
truStworthineSs of the bidders.
He said that the present system
10y which Democratic Congress-
men are allowed to name half the
carriers in their districts should
be continued.
Mr.. j. h. Williams, of Illinois,
took issue with Mr.. Swanson as
to the latter statement, declar-
ing that Northern Democrats are
allowed no voice in the selection
of the carriers. He believed the
contract system would take the
service out of politics.
