Our Washington Letter.

George Washington was at the
White House this week. Not the
George Of the Ratchet and cherry tree
story but a George of the present day
who is mem Der of the old family
was, in fact, the last ofthe name that
was born in the family mansion at
Mount Vernon, which was transferred
to the ladies Mount Vernon associa-
ton, It's present owners, soon after
his birth. The present George is
mayor of Cbarlestown, w. Va, and
his call at the White House was mere
ly to pay his respects to the twenti-
eth century successor of his illustri-
Gus relative. Pres, Roosevelt ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting one
so nearly related to the Father of His
Country, and George was equally
pleased to meet the man who reminds
you so much of the first president,
because he is so different Whether
it occurred to Mayor George Washing
ton that he might have been in the
White House under different circum-
stances had his illustrious relative
not refused the crown that was Of
fered him, don't know, but it oc-

The annual charity ball and the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt's recep-
ton to the judiciary were the best
entertainments of the week. The
ball has for many years been given in
a theater, with the orchestra seats
foored over but this one was held in
the magnificent double ball rooms of
a hotel, one being used for dancing
and the other for promenading, with
a band of music in the balcony of
each. Practically everybody who
considers themselves in society looked
in at some time during the night,
the largest crowd being present for
the two hours following IL o'clock.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt did
not 90, but Miss Alice Roosevelt was
there. The reception at the White
House was something more of crush
than the Diplomatic reception last
week, but it was not of the old tear
e-clothes-off-them kind that used to
be held.

Speaking of handsome men reminds
me that Capt. E. P. Cassatt, .. S. A.,
-..Eddie' to his intimates-is in
town. with all his clothes. He is Of
ten spoken of as the ''Adonis of the
army, and there isn't the slightest
doubt that he is the most immacu-
lately dressed man in the army, not
excepting Gen. Miles, who is pretty
strong on good clothes. Capt. Cas-
satt is a son of President Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania railroad, and he
certainly has no reason to complain
about Things not coming his way. 1t
was said at West Point that his father
made him a present of 81, 900, 600 the
dav he graduated. The next day be
was married to beautiful girl and
she is today called the most beautiful
woman in army circles. Capt. Cas-
salts army duties have been along
pleasant lines. His hobby is horses.
Many amusing stories are told OF his
West Point career. Tie has just re-
turned from Paris, where he served as
military attache to the American En-
bassy. He is the only millionaire
captain in the U. S. army. That
may be why he gets SO many desirable
assignments; if they ordered him
somewhere he didn't wish to 90 he
would probably resign. Then what
would the poor old War department.

order that small sums, in multiples
of five cents, may be conveniently sent
by mail.
The Philippine tariff bill was further
discussed i'll the United States senate

cision in the Schley case until his re-
turn from the Charleston exposition.
Judge Taft continued his argument
before the senate committee on the
Philippines, and insisted that tariff
reduction of at least so per cent. is
imperative.

to fortify the country against reverses
that upset business and demoralize
values.
