realize the immense amount of work de-
volving upon the President, and the fact
that he has few spare minutes. When
however they need to reach the fountain
head of news he is accessible.
In point of approachability and accessi-
bility there isn't much difference between
now and fifty years ago, as far as time
has wrought changes, practically every
thing depending on the man who is PreSi-
dent. Fifty years ago the duties of the Of
flee were not so pressing to bring about
such severe restrictions in securing inter-
views with the chief executive. These re-
strictions have gradually increased. Often
they are born of necessity, sometimes
caused by peculiar ideas. They surround
and govern a President just to the extent
that he may desire or that his time may ad-
nit. With President Mckinley, for in
stance, the Spanish war bringing it's null
titude of additional duties and responsible
ties, it was imperative to omit his program
of three weekly receptions to the public in
the east room of the White House.
President Roosevelt holds occasional re-
ceptions, limited in such a way as not to
include more than forty or fifty people.
These are held about the middle of the day,
when most of the senators and representa-
tives have paid their calls and the Presi-

The women find nothing of greater inter

plans, of the visitors who call upon the

publication. Comparatively few editors
handling news at the desks of great news
papers reject an item of any value re-
lating to the White House or its occupants
This demand for detail-from both men
and women-has been growing from year to
year for many reasons. The country has
grown immensely in fifty years, and the
Presidents great power and duties have
been consequently extended. People are
studying more deeply the questions and
governmental matters of the hour, and real
ize the enormous Importance of the position
of the chief executive in our own affairs and
the affairs of the world. For the office itself

How THE WORK OF GATHERING
WHITE HOUSE NEWS HAS CHANGED.
BY w. w. PRICE.

The development of news gathering at the
White House in the last fifty years has
probably kept pace with the kindred work
in all other fields which a daily paper must
cover. 1t is a field in which every reader
of a paper is interested Men want to
know the position of the President of
the United States on all important ques

VolVlng upon him. So his secretary must
come in contact with the people and act as
a medium of communicat ton for the chief
executive.
The departments try to relieve the Presi-
dent of as much detail as possible but
there are many people who insist upon the
democratic right of carrying a thing to the
White House and putting it before the Pres
ident directly. They are not satisfied with
a decision reached by some department Off
Ger, or do not look upon him as unprej-
udiced toward them or their case. These
people encounter the Presidents secretary
when they go to the White House, and
often must submit to his putting the mat
ter before the President or advising them
what to do. AS the business of the country
grows this system, or some other, will grow
with it, out of sheer necessity Ex-senator
Chandler has suggested that there ought
to be two Presidents. so that one may re-
lieve the other.
The Private Secretary.
Fifty years ago, therefore, the private
secretary to the President was not a person
of the Importance to newspaper men he is
now, and most of the reporters and CORE
spondents of those days daily sought and
obtained interviews with the Presidents.
Then, as now, there were men whose per-
sonal relations were such as to admit them
quickly to the chief executive, while others
had to be content with obtaining their news
supplies from senators or representa- tives or
cabinet officers who had talked with the
President. 1t was a rather democratic pro-
ceeding for the Presidents in the old days
to talk directly with the newspaper men
who called, and submit to being held
up to answer all kinds of questions. News
paper men nowadays have access to the
President, but they do not intrude upon his
privacy, except in cases of absolute neces
sity. They usually get all the information
that is to be had by talking with the sec
rotary or an assistant. They may see some
one else who has seen the President and
knows his views on particular question.

Half a Century Ago.

Fifty years ago newspaper reporters and
correspondents went to the White House to
see and talk with the President. If he was
easy of approach and their acquaintance
with him warranted it they probably went
often, or at least as often as was necessary
to keep in touch with the days news so far
as it related to the White House. The office
of private secretary then was little more
than that of amanuensis. Today it is
position of influence and power, and there
are times when the secretary to the Presi-
dent is almost as hard to see as the Presi-
dent himself The Presidents duties have
multiplied so fast that in the last ten years
much of the detail of the office has had to
be placed in the hands of the secretary. 1t
would be manfestly impossible for the
President to attend personally to the
minutiae of great portion of the work de-

Question Whether Strike Shall Be Made Permanent Left to the Convention to Meet on Wednesday,,
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 ISSUES A STATEMENT
Felt That Before Strike is h. augurated Question Should Be Considered by Delegate Convention.

Scranton, Pa, May 9.-A general strike of the miners of the anthracite region has been ordered for Monday next. but the order has a reserve qualification at- strike Is to be made permanent is left to the decision of a convention of dele- gates of all the local organizations of the mine workers to be held at Hazelton next Wednesday.
 The miners executive committee of three districts met this morning and had a three hours session. At it's conclusion President Mitchell gave out the following statement:
 Replies to our proposition to submit the entire question in dispute to an im- partial board of arbitration have been re- ceived from President Baer, of the Phil
 adelphia and Reading Company; Chair
 man Thomas. of the Erie Company; Pres l ident Truesdale of the Delaware Lacka-
 wanna and Western Company, and Pres l ident Oliphant, of the Delaware Hudsoh l Company, all of whom refuse to join IS 1 | in the adjustment of differences by the
 methods we propose. The executive com-
 mittees are now considering the chances of success or possibilities of defeat should a strike be declared. A decisive vote will be taken upon the questions this after noon."
 At 4:30 o'clock the committeeman again assembled and remained in session until 7:3O o'clock. When the session concluded President Mitchell prepared statement in which he said that "the committees feel that before general strike is inau- gurated, the question should be further considered by delegate convention" and that In the meantime all persons em- ployed in or around the collieries. strip pings, washeries and breakers, are in- structed to temporarily abstain from working, beginning with Monday, May 12, and continue until a final decision is reached by delegate convention. which will convene Wednesday morning MT.

POntinCaI Mass is Said in
 St. Peter'S Cathedral For
 ArChbiShOp M. 4. COrrigan

"The purity of motive of our beloved and holy deceased friend was the key to his most laborious life. He worked for God, and in His presence never thought he could do enough. l know from per sonal observation how extraordinary were his labors. He performed them not only with patience but with almost boyish en- thusiasm.
 Former Archbishops.
 "The three archbishops of this great see were types of different characteristic views. The Most Rev. John Hughes stands out as the most striking exempli- fication of courage when courage was much needed. Cardinal McCloskAy was distinguished for his marvellous prudence by which he co conquered without fighting. Archbishop Corrigan seemed to belong rather to the Cardir al McCloskey class of men, but when principle was involved he was as lmmovable as Archbishop Hughes. In the combination of gentle modesty and fearless fortitude the Chris tan bishop should follow his great model the shepherds and bishop of our souls, Jesus Christ.
 What. after all, Is death to such a man as this? What but liberation. an illumination. a union? A liberation from most pressing duties and responsibilities; i; an illumination when the light of Gods face shall shine upon him and he will hold the solution of the great problem of life and the length of breath and heighth and depth of Gods love, and a union with the divine original after whom he was formed. My spouse. when wilt thou take me to thyself?' was the cry of St Peter of Acantara. O eternal and most sacred God. who hath given to this servant, Michael, such plentitude of graces and such correspondence with them, grant to us, who remain but a lit- tie longer after him, that we may benefit by his example and be united to him. to Thee. for all eternity through Christ our Lord. Amen.'
 At the close of the service a death mask of the archbishop was taken. The body was placed in casket which was taken to the crypt under the high altar and placed in a vault beside the bodies of archbishop Hughes and Cardinal McClos- key

New York, May 9-A pontifcal solemn mass for the repose of the soul of the Most Rev. Michael Augustine Corrigan, in St. Patricks cathedral by Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. in the presence of archbishops. IS bishops and more than 1000 priests of the church. The of ficiating clergymen were: Celebrant, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore; assistant priest the Rt. Rev. J. F. Mooney, vicar general; preacher. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia.
 Before o'clock, the hour of the first mass. there were 5000 persons around the cathedral waiting for the opening of the doors. Five masses were said up to 8 o'clock, and as one congregation left the large building another took it's place.
 A wreath of Easter lilies, white roses and snowballs were received at the ca thedral this morning from President Roosevelt.
 The cathedral was crowded and many persons stood on the steps outside the door when the services began. At 10:30 o'clock the procession of priests bishops and archbishops with Cardinal Gibbons entered the cathedral After the reading of the gospel Archbishop Ryan of Phila- delphia preached the sermon.
 Archbishop Ryan's Sermon.
 Archbishop Ryan, in his sermon, spoke as follows:
 Your Eminence, Venerable Fathers of the Episcopate and Clergy, and Dear Brethren of the Laity-How impressive in its eloquence of silence is this scene, and how salutary in it's lessons. Behold be- fore you today a great priest who in his day pleased God and was found just
 For two purposes are we here this morning-to honor the dead and pray for the dead. The external actions of men are not adequate evidence of their real worth. It Is the inner life of motive and purity of intention and disinterested sac rifce that constitute the greatness of goodness.
 We daily hear of mon who know not, or knowing. ignore t true philosophy of sancity, stating that pious bishops and priests did well In the middle ages, but that in this twentieth century we are not ascetics but sturdy public men. The truth is, we need the combination of both, but if they are not found united, the as- cetic is preferable.
