SECRETARY CORTELYOU
ABOUT Once MORE
Was Again at His Desk at
White House Yesterday.
Not Yet Able to Resume His Full Duties
Mr.. Loeb Fills His Place Dur
ing Enforced Absence.

Mr. George B. Cortelyou, secretary to
the President. returned to his desk al
the White House yesterday. For ten days
Street and Maryland Avenue northeast,
with a severe attack of grip.
Mr.. Cortelyou will not at once take up
the full duties of his office. but will come
to the White House for an hour or so each
day, until he fully RECEIVERS his strength
He was busy for a time this afternoon in
picking up the thread OF the business at
the White House
His First Enforced Absence.
Never before since his appointment as
secretary has Mr.. Cortelyou been absent
from his Office at the White House on ac-
count of Illness. President Mckinley
never took a trip but that Mr.. Cortelyou
was with him. The arrangement OF the
details for the transcontinental journey
of President Mckinley last year were su-
pervised by Mr.. Cortelyou.
AT the time Of the assassination of
President Mckinley at Buffalo, the way he
managed things at and in the vicinity of
the Milburn house attracted the atten-
tion and commentator of the entire coun-
try. His conduct of the affairs of the of
fee which he holds has raised that posi-
tion almost to the dignity Of Cabinet
official and he enjoys to a wonderful ex-
tent the confidence of the President
Not Likely to Resign.
Since the opening Of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration, there have been frequent re-
ports that Mr. Cortelyou would resign his
position and accept one Of a number of
tempting business offers he has received.
There is little prospect however. that
he will do so within the immediate future.
More than any other man he helped
President Roosevelt to gain a knowledge
of the affairs of the Administration when
he succeeded to the Presidency upon the
death of MI Mckinley.
In the absence Of Mr.. Cortelyou, the
duties of the secretary have been dis
charged by Mr.. William J. Loeb, assistant
secretary to the President. Mr.. Loeb was
private secretary to Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was Governor. and went from Albany
up into northern Vermont to meet Mr..
Roosevelt with a special train at the time
President Mckinley was shot.
During his temporary tenure of the Of
fee OF secretary. he has proved himself
highly capable and possessed of consid-
cradle executive ability.

much alive and meets regularly at its en-
! CINE house on Alfred Street. near King
| and is one OF the most interesting points
| to visit in this city full of historic inter-
| est. with its old hand engines and leather
| water buckets.
In 1875 delegates from Virginia and
| Maryland met in Alexandria to arrange
I about the navigation of the Potomac and
the import charges of the two States.
! This meeting led to another at Annapolis.
where there were present delegates from
five States. These adjourned to Phiiadel-
phia, in which body all of the thirteen
States were represented who framed the
. Constitution of the United States. 1t can
therefore be said that the Constitution
owes its conception to the city OF Alex
andris.
In 1888. Virginia eeded Alexandria to
the Federal Government as a part of the
District of Columbia. Congress took
charge in 1902, and receded 1t in 1916.
Lafayette's Visit Here.
In 1924 Lafayette visited Alexandria
and was royalty welcomed by the Masonic
fraternity and the citizens generally. He
was entertained at a grand ball in the
house on the southwest corner of st.
Asaph and Duke Streets, now owned by
Mrs. C. C. Smoot.
One square west to Washington Street,
and two south, brings one to the old
Washington Free School Building and its
handsome modern successor. This school
was endowed by Washington in his will,
although for some years previous to his
death, he had contributed toward its sup
port. 1t was the first free school in the
State. II not in the country. Mrs Wash
ington also left a legacy toward support
ing a girls school. which is now known
as the Zee School.
At the intersection of Washington and
Prince Streets. is the Confederate Monu-
ment, "Appomattox.' Elders master
work. 1t was from this point that the
Alexandria troops started South in May,
1861.
The Federal Cemetery is another point
of interest. and is well worth seeing. as
it is beautifully kept. The superinten-
dent Captain Davis, an old Union veter-
an, is greatly beloved by everyone who

OUR ROYAL VISITOR.
Prince Henry Will Arrive in

His Visit Will Last Only Sixteen Days
in All, as He Will Sail For Ger
many on March on the
Steamer Columbia.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Prince Hen
ry will bring from Germany a hand
some present for Miss Alice Roose-
welt from the emperor, in recognition
and as a souvenir of her part in the
launching of the new royal yacht. A
cablegram also says that Prince Hen
ry has been directed to arrange for
aquatic sports between American and
German tars in the foreign ports where
they meet.
The following squadron has been as
signed to RI. Adm. Evans by the ma
Wy department to welcome the prince:
Flagship, battleship Illinois, protected
cruiser Hartford.
During the afternoon Count Quadt
came to the state department to see
DR.. Hill and the latter meanwhile hav-
ing communicated with Gen. Corbin
and the local representatives of the
railroad companies, some progress was
made toward arranging the pro-
gramme. 1t was decided that the
members of the committee on recep-
ton should proceed to New York in
time to welcome the prince on his ar
rival there about noon on February
p. he probably will be brought to
Washington that night, arriving here
Sunday morning, and will rest quiet
ly at the embassy that day An effort
is making to arrange matters so that
the prince shall be present at the cap
itol when the senate and house meet
on February q, to hear Secretary Hay
deliver his memorial address in honor
Of the late President Mckinley. If It
is possible to secure this without i'm
posing too much travel upon the
prince, a change may be made in time
set for the launch.
There is little doubt that the prince
will be able to accept some of the in
vitations rendered by various cities.
The committee will arrange a pro.
gramme which will take the visitor TO
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis,
and it is possible that Charleston will
be included in the return trip, as the
exposition authorities have made a
strong plea for his presence there.
Niagara Falls also may be taken in on
the outward trip. The state depart
ment has been notified that the
princes American visit will last only
sixteen days in all, as he will sail for
Germany on the Columbia on March
S. Realizing that the people who hope
to entertain the prince in other citi IS
must have time for preparation the
committee will use their cable freely
in communicating with Prince Henry
and announce the details as fast as
they are arranged.

A Fortunate Delay

In ''Life and Sport on the PacinG
Coast" Mr.. Horace A. Vachell relates
one Of his narrow escapes from ,
friends bullet:
My cousin and had been camping
and hunting for several days in 4
sort of Paradise valley. One day, dur
ing long ride on horseback, we had
seen a great many rattlesnakes, and
killed few-an exceptional expert

That night my cousin woke up ana

He lay for n moment fascinated, hor-
ror-struck, watching the sinuouI
curves of the reptile.
Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter. But he could not see the
reptiles head, and he moved nearer
noiselessly yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should
precipitate the very thing he dread
ed. And then he saw that it was moi

NEW GUN SHIELDS.
They Were Given Satisfactory Test
at the Proving Grounds.

Bethlehem, Pa, Jan. 1S.-The Beth
lehem Steel Co.'s new gun shields
were tested at the proving grounds
near here in the presence of Gen. Miles
and officers of the bureau of ordinance
and Notifications of the war depart
ment. The shields were subjected to
severe tests and scored a splendid
success. Gen. Miles said that the
company's own designed shields are
an Improvement on all others. There
were two shields of Kruppized armor,
three inches thick, and they were fired
on by three-inch guns half a dozen
times without effect. A fve-inch gun,
however, sent a 50-pound projectile
clear through one. The experimental
test was conducted by Lieut.. Meigs,
the cOmpany's ordinance expert.

The Burden sometimes heavy, weighed
down with cares and fears,
Calls from our souls and others, ofttimes
with falling tears;
Yet borne with faith and patience, still
struggling bravely on,
AAd looking ever upward, the victory shall
be won.
The golden light of morning shines Ger the
Weakened earth,
And with each passing moment a Duty has

Well to improve the talents our Father has

And walk in His dear footsteps, whose life

Amid the tender cleaning our thoughts

Rhe lines of loving kindness whittier our

And thus the wondrous teachings of Lies
