 to Reform in Representation.
 or the thirty four speakers who nad addressed the convention up to the close of last week on the subject or changes of representation. says the Hartford Times, fourteen favored the plan or larger senate based on popu- latlon, and single representative rom each town. Of the fourteen. three were democrats and only two delegates were from towns containing cities. Ten have favored one repre- sentative for every town, with addi- tlonal representative for the larger towns, the senate to be increased and based on population. Ex-Governor Waller has an original plan for sen ate of 100, to be elected on the general ticket with the state officers.

1t is now possible to insure at
Lloyds against the risk of smallpox

to protect the assured againsts exc

per cent. for the year, the risk, Of

the state guest chamber, and will be
made to feel at home.

ner the cabinet-room and the room oc-
cupied by Secretary Cortelyou will be
changed into bedchambers, and the
telegraph-room become a boudoir.
The stairs now leading to the official
quarters are to be taken away and the
space thus made vacant on the second
floor will contain bedroom. The por-
ton of the main corridor hitherto
used as an anteroom for the accommo-
dalton of office-seekers and other bust
ness callers will be reclaimed as pri-
vate hallway.
The changes on the first floor will be
less radical. The present ceremonial
dining-room, as already indicated, will
become the state guest chamber, and
an anteroom will take the place of the
stairs, while the famous east room will
be transformed into banquet hall,
the use for which it was originally in
tended when the building was first
planned.
No little interest attaches to the pro-
posed alterations in the white house,
inasmuch as it evidently marks the
final disposition of the question of the
evolution of the mansion Since its
corner stone was laid in 1892 by George
Washington changes and additions
have marked the history of the white
house. Originally the front door was
on what is now the rear side of the
mansion, Pennsylvania avenue at that
time running south of the white house.

The south portico, which adds so much
to the beauty of the structure, was
built in 1923, and tn east room was not
finished and made habitat BILE until 1926,
having been used up to that time as
laundry. The front portico of Ionic
pillars was added in 1929. The original
cost of the building was about a quar-
ter of a million dollars, and up to date
nearly $4,000, 600 altogether have been
spent on it. The sandstone walls were
first painted white in 1917 to conceal
the smoke marks of the British torches
during their invasion in 1914. Hence it
obtained the name of the white house
and President Roosevelt by his official
recognition of the name to the ignor-
ing of the term executive mansion has
for all time definitely fixed this name
as the title of the home of the presi-
dents of the United States. While the
president and his family are away dur
ing the summer the workmen- will be
set to work and the historic structure
will echo with the sound of the arti-
sans tools. The work will be rushed
and the transformed white house made
ready for the return of the occupants
in the fan.

hibition in the museum at Washington.
Her idea was to erect two large an
nexes at the rear on the east and west
ends of the mansion, and connect them
by beautiful arched collonade with
the original building. Across the rear
between the two annexes was to
stretch the conservatory and the in
closed area was to be made a garden
spot of surprising beauty, with its
palms and fountains and brilliant hued
flowers. 1t was the ambition of Mrs.
Harrison to see her plans carried out,
but such was never to be her privilege,
nor that of any others who SO warmly
supported her in the matter.
The present plans of alterations in
the white house are the ideas of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his wife, and the de-
tails are now being worked out by Ar
chitect Charles F. McKim, of New
York, under the presidents direction.
The present dimensions of the white
house will not be increased, nor will
there be any external alterations. The
interior, originally colonial in style,
will be restored in such way as to
preserve the original lines and makeof
it the mansion which George Washing

But the statesmen who allege that
they need money from the treasury
for the improvement of the little
creeks in their districts have come
to the front and passed a river and
harbor bill which will, ultimately take
upwards of s7a,Oo,OOO0 from the fed
eral treasury. 2hat is an immense
sum of money to be appropriated in
one lump, and there have been fears
in the ranks of the interested parties
that the president would stop the
raid by a veto. This is election year,
you know, and every one is looking
after his own selfish interests.
Well, let that pass for the first les
son; and the second is like unto it.

of them with dyes. and over others
poured melted lead in spots and pound-
ed small bits of copper into the cracks.
These, when finished, were specimens
of gold and silver Ores" and found
ready market.
All trains stopped just in front of the
shanty where the two genuises held
forth to have the air brakes tested and
the wheels examined prior to the de-
scent of the mountain.
During these stops passengers were
wont to run over to the shanty to make
purchases of curios.
If there was ever time when the
wind did not blow a gale at Sherman
it was a period previous to the advent
of man up there. and it was to his ever
lasting wind that oddly blew good to
the tramp shopkeepers.
One morning, when the overland
flyer drew up at the old red depot, an
aproned man stood at the door of the
shanty on the opposite side of the
track beating a gong with a vigor
which soon attracted the attention Of
the passengers.
Heads popped out of the windows.
and in a moment people came tumbling
out of the cars and made grand rush
for the supposed luncheon counter.
The wind was whistling a merry
tune over the summit, and in a very few
seconds hats were rolling among the
rocks and down into the gloom of the
canyon. Of course, the recovery of the
headgear was impossible.
When lot of passengers had been
"uprooted" it was the signal for the
man with the gong to disappear, and in
his stead came another with a string
of cheap hats and caps, which were
easily disposed of to the unfortunates
at fabulous prices.

will cease to frequent the halls and

pose of consideration of national and
interna tional affairs, and the sacred
precincts of the presidents home will
not be invaded except upon the invita-
ton of the president and his charm
ing wife, and on the set days for pub
lie functions.
At the present time almost half of
the capacity of the white house is
taken up by the executive offices, and

will be transacted all the business of

house are to cost in the neighborhood
of $165 900. Practically the entire in

and the building remodeled in such a
manner as to supply all the needs of

modious domestic accommodations
and for social functions BETTING the

When Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was
mistress of the white house she con-
ceived the idea of magnificent and elab-
crate changes and additions to the
mansion, and had the architects pre-
pare plans of the same. Amodel of the
white house, as it would be with her
ideas carried out, was made at great
expense, and it can now be seen on ex-

bedrooms Mrs. Roosevelt will have at
her disposal nine bedchambers on the
Second floor, four of which will have
pretty dressing attached to
them. In addition there will be mag

floor, to be reserved for great person

WIPED OFF THE MAP.
Station In the Rocky Noun
tains Is No More.

Since the great railroad tunnel
through Mount Sherman, Wyo., has
been completed and trains now run
mder instead of over the giant
steep, there has passed forever what
has been for 35 years one of the
most peculiar railroad stations in
ihe world, reports the Chicago
American.
Mount Sherman station stood on
:he very top of a mountain 1900
'eet high, in possibly as desolate a
spot as human eye has ever gazed
lpon.
Nowhere is there ever visible any
RECITATION beyond a few scraggy
tufts of alkali wire grass.
Even this can hardly exist in that
cegion, where one may encounter al
most any day in the summer rain,
Ieet, snow and hail, with a temper
ature that often varies from IS de-
yrees to 40 and back again within
few moments; where the wind
never ceases to blow from Is to 20

IF many a tenderfoot have received

Of storms, with the clouds touching
the ground and here and there hurl-
ng angry lightning bolts into the
mineral rock.
Now the map no longer has a
Mount Sherman station. Nothing in
the way of habitation remains to de-
note the past existence of man on
that dizzy height. and it is very
probable that the wierd. rock-clad
spot will never again be visited.
If, however, in some future age
science or quest of adventure shall
lead some curious person over the
summit he will find standing silhou-

in honor of the Ames brothers, who

A feeling of sentimentalism will

the minds of those who have Otter

thought that it now stands so fan
out of the path of commerce, so fa1

to remain there almost as long as

Especial washington letter.

twenty years ago Oonn fiatt
was a notorious as well as
famous editor in this city. His
weekly paper teemed with columns
Of wit and wisdom; all of it en-
olazoned and more or less embit-
Cered with sarcasm of the most bit
.ng character. His censures of pub
dc men and measures were some
lines unworthy of his great abili7
lies; but usually he was on the right
side.
In his day there were many men
eminent in public life who made con-
siderable pretensions to Christian
purity of character; when they who
knew them best were aware of the
fact that but thin veneering of
Christianity covered their impure
lives and their unpatriotic purposes.
1t was concerning them that Dom
Piatt noted the assembling of the
congress, saying: "The alleged
Christian statesmen are gathering
together now with benignant smiles,
broad phylacteries and itching palms.
Skilled in the art of fooling the peo-
pie they do not try to fool each
other Slyly winking they bow their
heads and pray: In the name of
God, amen; let us rob somebody
And then they coolly jimmy the
treasury"
What is substantially true of one
generation is also true of preced-
ang or succeeding generation. There
never was time in the history of
the world when all men were honest.
In every century and probably in
every year and in all climes, there
aas been Judas Iscariot or a Bene-
dict Arnold. And yet the writer
would not dare or care to say that
she present generation of statesmen
should have such a scathing charac-
terization as Piatt gave to the men
Of his day.
They who have read and remem-
bered the events of the past two
gears will easily recall that fact
chat in February, 1901, the senate

senators declared that they would
DOT vote for the appropriations pro-
posed for the army in the Philip
pines under any circumstances.
Shrewd Senator Allison, chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
reported and had placed on the cal
endar the army and navy appropria-
zion bills. After them he reported
che river and harbor appropriation
pill. In the latter bill each senator
was interested, for the bill had been
so framed that every senator would

knew it, because of his many years
of service in that body. He request
ed that the river and harbor bill be
left without action until the last day
of the Fifty-sixth congress, which
was March 4, 1901. On the proceed
ing day he sent for Senator Carter,
of MONTANA, whose term was about
to expire, and there was a protracted
conference at the white house. On
the last day, just as the river and
harbor bill was being taken up for
consideration, Senator Carter arose
and addressed the senate. He began
in a moderate manner. but grew
more earnest as he spoke. It finally
dawned on the senate that set
speech was being made and no river
and harbor bill yet voted upon.
Efforts were made to interrupt
Senator Carter, but, under the rules
of the senate, there is no time limit
to debate, and nobody could stop him.
He talked until noon, the time for
final adjournment, and thus killed the
big bill President Mckinley did not
want to have 500, 0O0, 900 appropriated
for that bill, nor did he want to veto
bill in which there was 'sporlx'' for
everybody. The speech of Senator
Carter disposed of the bill. and. .
