This is ascribed to the Presidents eI-
treme democratic ideas, and his plain
method Of life. When asked recently
to tell something about Oyster Bay he
good naturedly replied: "Oh, just say
that we are simple, old-fashioned peo-
pie: that we have plenty Of books and
open fires, and some dear children. We
haven't a servant on the place, and
would not tolerate one. The men I en-
ploy are my hired men, every one Of
them, and they have the same right
to live and be happy that / have. The
women are our helpers. I try to live
the way preach. and we are a happy
household in Oyster Bay.
my children have always gone to the
same district school as my coachman's
children. They studied the same books.
and played the same games. My coach
man is one of my best friends. He rails

bors celebrated my return from the
Cuban war;"
His Return From San Juan.
1t was characteristic of Mrs. Roose-
velt that on this same occasion when
her husband returned crowned with the
laurels Of San Juan. that she forbade her
children making a demonstration She
thought 1t bad taste. and so, while all
the rest Of Oyster Bay was garishly
illuminated, the Roosevelt home alone
remained dark. The only tribute the
young Roosevelts displayed to their
fathers vaIor was home made banner
'Tn honor of Colonel Roosevelt's re-
turn" Mr.. Roosevelt said he was more
touched with this than any other DEM
onstration he ever had
1t is owing to Mrs. Roosevelt, in great
part, that the home life at Oyster Bay
is ideal in It's simplicity. For, although
quite capable of taking her place as the
first lady of the land. and the greatest
spur to her husbands ambition, she is
inclined to shrink from publicity Photo
graphers are not encouraged. and she
makes every effort to prevent her chill
dren being inoculated with conceit. A
day spent at Oyster Bay would incline
one to think that Mr.. Roosevelt is more
in bringing up his family after
his own ideas than in achieving emf
nence as a statesman. He is always
willing. on the veranda at Sycamore
Hill, to speak about his little folk. II

better as a place TO read and write.
The windows look out over the west
lawn and the view extends down the
Mall across to the Virginia hills with
the Monument and Arlington as the spe-
cial targets of the eye. The quaintness
of the rooms is their chief attraction.
One of the windows is round and about
the size of buggy wheel. 1t swings on
pivot and the semi i-circular view of
the vista through the foliage between
the Capitol and Arlington as seen
from this window is picturesque in the
extreme.
The accumulations of the library have
filled up one room after another until
they have spread to the spaces under
the arched roof Of that part of the build
ing which was known as the north wing
The Washington times., 1902-07-06

before the Senate and House wings
were added and the great dome erected.
Until recently the library shelves have
contained merely the records of Con-
gress. including Senate and House re-
ports and all papers published as Sen
ate and House documents.
These accumulated so fast and in
such haphazard way that they spread
all over the upstairs part OF this portion
OF the Capitol, and they were badly
arranged and incompletely indexed. The
library is supposed, of course, to be re-
served for the exclusive use of Senators,

edge of 1t are always received

" During the heated term the

During that period Washington ceases
TO be the nations political hub. 1t is
only a hot, sleepy, wide-paved Southern

countrys Chief Magistrate, must wend
their way to Sycamore Hill, thick wood

and the jagged coast Of Connecticut.
To Combine Business and Pleasure.
Here. in the cool precincts of his
country home, whence he may look over
the glorious waters of Long Island
Sound. dotted with the myriad sail Of
cargo and racing craft, President Roose-
welt intends combining business with
pleasure. In his picturesque library
typewriting machines have already been
Installed. and from the adjoining room
is heard the click of the Morse instru-
rnent. Carpenters, painters. and plumb
ers have been hustling about for weeks
furnishing up the nations summer
White House for the accommodation of
guests, and the whole neighborhood of
Oyster Bay has been revivifed. It is
expected that society will besiege the
place and make It. what Oyster Bay has
never before been. the abode OF fad and
fashion.
Not Altogether Pleasing.
This Transforming Of Sycamore Hill
from a quiet. unpretentious summer
home into national capital will I'M
doubtedly be far from pleasing to MIR.
Roosevelt, who has always spent the hot
months in retirement with his family
unhampered by social restrictions sf
dress or manners. He usually goes
about bare-headed, clad in white fan
nels. and Joins frequently in playing
with his bare-legged, sun burned chill
dren. For with.a all Theodore Rooseyelt's
strenuous ambition and varied expert
cnces, he is supremely home mar. -
and both he and Mrs. Roosevelt, to say
nothing Of the children, enjoy real con-
tentment only when they are living in
the ivy-clad cottage at Oyster Bay.

SEVERAL NOMINATIONS.

EDITOR ARGUs:-As I cast my
eye over the field of political candi-
dates in our county / see all classes
represented except the legal fratern-
ity, and I think that it would be
wise to have one lawyer to represent
us in the next Legislature, as they
have always been u most faithful
and staunchest friends since the days
of the lamented and honored w.
T. Dortch, to the present day. It is
impossible for us to run a campaign
without them and they always re-
spond most willingly and diligently.
In the candidates for sheriff we
have the merchants represented by
Mr.. Sam Roberts, the farmers by
Messrs. B. F. Scott, j. B. Gardner
and Everett A. Stevens.
In the candidate for clerk Mr.. L.
F. Ormond, who was both a mer-
chant and farmer.
In the candidates for Register of
Deeds, Messrs. j. B. Hooks, G.. c.
Kornegay and w. G. Britt, all mer-
chants and farmers.
In the candidate for the Senate we
have a merchant and farmer, repre-
sented in Capt. J. E. Peterson.
Now for the Legislature, give IS
Mr.. H. B. Parker, IT., a lawyer,

and some good farmer, for instance,
Mr.. Jesse B. Thompson, and Wayne
county's welfare and Democracy is
secure. No one can question the
Christian and business qualities of
either gentleman. They are ener-
getic and faithful, and will serve us
wisely. I will be more than pleased
to support the two gentlemen and
either of the others the convention
may see fit to nominate.

Some Facts Concerning the Erection

of the New Postoffice.
In speaking of the proposed govern
ment building for Goldsboro, Mr.. G..
r. Ellsworth, the gentleman sent
out by the treasury department to
select a site for the building, said
this morning to this reporter that
''the building would be only n
story and a basement, owing to the
small appropriation, and it would
very probably be built of brick with
stone trimmings. In after years if
it is decided to hold federal court
here it will be an easy matter with
an additional appropriation to add
another story to be used as a court
room.
"There r at present about IA
buildings ahead Of Goldsboro. The
government takes them up as they
come on the list and Goldsboro will
not get on the list, until a site has
been selected and the deed of trans
| fer has been made. When this is
done the government architects draw
up plans and specification and adver-
tise for bids on the contract. Local
contractors will have an opportunity
to bid and there is no reason why
they shonld not do the work."

"Death, the Reaper, Still is Reap

The white-winged messenger, who
always leaves broken hearts and va
can't seats around the family altar in
the wake of his visit, passed through
this community Saturday and again
Sunday and took from this earth
the immortal spirit Of two grown
people and one child. On Saturday
afternoon, Mr.. Jesse J. Bakerdied at
the home of his daughter Mrs. Thad
C. Gurley in Fork township. He
was about 70 years of age and was
also the father of Mr.. George Baker,
of this city. The remains were taken
Sunday and carried to the home of
the deceased near Pearson's bridge
across Liver river for interment.
Sunday morning at the home of
her sister, Mrs.R.C. Freeman, at 321
Ashe street, east, in this city, the
immortal spirit of Mrs. w. X. Per-
kins passed out from earth's sight
forever. She had been an invalid for
about two years, and about two
months ago she and her husband,
who was with her in her last mo-
ments, came to North Carolina from
Utah, where they had resided for a
number of years, for the benefit of
her health and to visitrelatives. The
change did no good and she contin-
ued since arriving here to grow
worse until the end came.
