HISTORY OF WHITE HOUSE.
Temporary DeSertiOn Recalls interest
ing Events.

For the first time, with one exeep-
tion, since President John Adams en-
tered it over a century ago, all execu-
tive business is being conducted out
side of the white house.
On occasions almost without number
presidents and their families have been
absent from the executive mansion for
various lengths of time, but, with the
notable exception of the British inva-
sion of the capital, the occupancy of
the house at No. 90 jackson place by
President Roosevelt and the entire ex-
ecutive force is the first instance where
no part Of the administrative machine
ry was in operation in the presidential
residence since its establishment.
The nearest approach to the present
condition was during the first few
months of the administration OF Presi-
dent Chester A. Arthur. Following
hlo luuuCblOu llllu OLlC6 Ou VIC uGulu VI
the assassinated Garfield in the fall of
1881 and until January I, 1882, when
Arthur held his first public reception
in the white house, Gen. Arthur made
his home at the residence of Senator
Jones, of Nevada, at the corner of New
Jersey avenue and B street southeast.
This residence Is perhaps better known
as the Ben Butler house, from the fact
that it had been built and owned by the
doughty statesman from Massachusetts.
With the president in the Jones home
were his private secretary and small
office force, and it was here that his
first message to congress was written,
At the white house, however, not an
inconsiderable amount of official bust.
ness was transacted, the late Maj. O. L.
Pruden, being an executive clerk, prac.
tically in charge of the official force
there.

Our Formulation.

The total population of the United
States on June /, 1900, as given by the
final results of the twelfth census, is
"a, 283, OG9. The Chinese, British and
Russian empires are the only countries
which have a greater number of inhab-
itants. They also have a greater area.

is also tucked and between the tucks is
trimming Of applique taffeta of grad
uated size framed with crochet rings
worked with dark blue Corticelli cro-
chet silk. A similar garniture appears
on the panel front of the skirt, the lat
ter being completed with a corded
iounces, and above the Aounce at the
sides are more lengthwise tucks.
Picturesque effects are the rule and
are in evidence on all sides, and flower
ed silks, lowered mousselines and
gorgeously lowered parasols greet the
eye everywhere. In fancy, at least,
the pages Of fashion have turned back
ward to the flower designs once so
much in vogue. On the whole the
trend of dress at the moment is toward
greater elegance reaching out in all di-
reetions. The dainty mousselines in
small patterns with wide and narrow
borders of large flowers are in great
demand.

REPAIRED IN ARTHUR's TIME.

During the residence of President
Arthur in the "gray house on the hill, )"
as the Butler house was called, the
white house underwent extensive re-
pairs and complete renovation. This
work was begun shortly before the
shooting of President Garfield, and was
carried forward during the summer and
fall. With Gen. Garfield at Elberton
during the months subsequently to the
shooting was his private secretary, J.
Stanly Brown, but the remainder of
the force was at work in the executive
mansion.
President Hays occupied for time a
house near the Soldiers home, and
President Cleveland spent much time
at "Red Top" and at Buzzard's Bay,
but the executive machinery remained
ia each case in the presidential resi-
dence.
During President McKinley's first
administration he and Mrs. Mckinley
and part of the office staff spent portion
of several summers in the cottage home
of the McKinley's in Canton, but the
bulk of the administration routine bust
ness was disposed of in the white house.
President and Mrs. Harrison were
absent from the presidential mansion
for several somewhat prolonged periods
but the official business went on in the
white house during their absence.
GRANT WAS ABSENT FREQUENTLY.
The absence of presidents of the
United States from the official home Of
the chief executive was the subject Of
one presidential message to congress,
Near the close Of the second term Of
Gen. Grant as president the matter Of
his frequent absences from the white
house was brought up in the house Of
Representatives and developed heatet
discussions. The great chieftain, who
as in the civil war, never rested unit
| he had seen the matter, whatever i
was, settled, at once had prepared {
message which showed, from the be
ginning of the national government
the respective absences and the dura
tion thereof of presidents from the sea
of government, and by the list wa
shown that in the number and in tn
aggregate length of time away from tn
white house, Grant had been exceeded
by number of his predecessors. Th
matter was never heard of again.
The Taylor mansion, better known n
"The Octagon, because of its peculia
shape, at the corner of Eighteenth
street and New York avenue, and later
the house at the northwest corner 0
Pennsylvania avenue and Nineteent
street were seats of the administrator

distributed in pipes along the street

The mountain belongs to the U. s. and
is absolutely free to all. The largest
bath house is under control of the gov
crnment, and is free to those who will
say they are unable to pay. The water
as it comes from tho fountains along
the street is so hot that ono can scarce
ly hold the tin cup from which you drink
One can stand on corner and see
hundreds of people on their way to the
bath houses, some walking with
crutches and others being rolled along
in invalid chairs. OF NIL the sad sights
we have ever beheld this beat them
all. People bent double with rheuma-
tism, some covered with sores, others
with noses and faces eaten away, and
every conceivable ailment you ever
{. heard Of crowd the streets and bath
r houses, misery and very often despair
4 pictured on their countenances. i
r makes US sick to think about it ever
q now as we write. If some one woult
a offer to make us present of one ol

s dition TINT we live there, we believe
Q we would decline. But it has been de
Q monstrated beyond the shadow of
J, doubt that the waters will cure certain
