Many Callers Who Fail to
Get View.

There were many disappointed Wis

effect, and no sightseers were admitted
to the building. The former splendor of
the East Room is now a thing of the
past. the private parlors are closed to all
callers and the work of renovation has
been begun in earnest.
The great dimensions of the East
Room were emphasized when the sum

of Why" and "Since when,'' and How

WORDS OF ADVICE TO
NORMAL GRADUATES

not allow his opportunity to slip
through his grasp and be lost forever.
Although he had never in the world ex-
pected to hear what he had been seek
ing spoken of by schoolboy, he was
quick to grasp his opportunity, and con-
seQUcntly perfected his work
But let me also say that the most
useless piece of furniture in a school
is that person who has taken up what
appears to be an opportunity and hangs
to it when it proves to be no opportuni-
ty at all"

Never Been Questioned.

This practice has never been ques-
toned by the accounting officers until
recently. Since the passage of the act
of 1892, the board OF managers has pass
ed resolution to the effect that it was
not the sense of the board that retired
army officers should be appointed to
offices in the home, and although this
resolution has not always governed che
action of the board. it's passage may be
taken as an indication that they nave
never questioned the legality of such
appointments.
In endeavoring TO reach a conclusion
on this appeal, 1 am confronted with
TIE undisputed fact that from the estab-
lishment OF tho home now over thirty
rears ago, the legality of these and
similar appointments has not been
questioned. and I must also recognizes
the fact that in doubtful cases the
courts have shown much disposition to
give great weight to the practical inter
probation given to statutes by the exec
utiye and accounting officers"

In deciding the question, Mr.. Mitchell
said in Part; The question involved in
this case is an exceedingly doubtful one.
Whether, as contended by the general
treasurer, the words 'honcrably dis
charged relate exclusively to service n
the rebellion. or whether. as held by
the auditor, that while the statute COR
templates honorable service in the re-
bellion. the words must be considered
with relation to the status CT the officer
ar the time of his appointment as an
officer OF the home. the fact remains
that from the establishment of the Ma

of April II, 1892, resulted in no change
