MISS ISABEL HAGNER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - The
army of the United States has many
victories to it's credit, but now it
or at least an important part of it
must add one more to it's list of de-
feats. And this defeat Is particularly
painful to record, for it was suffered
at the hands of a woman.
For a number of years Colonel
Theo. A. Bingham has been the ar
bitter of elegance at the nations capt.
tai. He is an officer Of engineers
and for a long time has served as
superintendent Of public buildings and
grounds in the District of Columbia.
In addition to Colonel Bingham's as
signed duties, he has gradually as
sumed the duties of social dictator of
the White House. Besides taking care
of the repairs on the building he has
selected the furniture and the serv-
ants and has been practically man
ager of the presidents household.
Not even the British war secre-
tary has greater fondness for red
tape than has Colonel Bingham. For
years he has been surrounded with
yards of it. Nothing could possibly
happen at the White House without
as much ceremony as Bingham could
invent Very carefully he watched
the presidents guests, very carefully
he edited the invitation lists and
more carefully still he arranged the
order of precedence in which the
guest that had passed muster before
his eagle eye entered the presence Of
the president.
But now it is all changed and this
Polonius Of the White House is about
to HE himself to Buffalo to take
charge of the routine duties of engl-
neer in charge of harbor improve
ments.
And this is where the woman en-
tiers the story. When President Roose-
welt went to the White House Mrs.
Roosevelt found her social duties
very heavy. So she introduced an
innovation. She employed social

DANGEROUS PRACTICES.
Throwing Debris From Windows
Across the Sidewalk.

Yesterday young lady was passing
in front of one of the buildings now
in course of construction, when a
merge dashed some scrap timber and
trash cut on the edge of the sidewalk,
barely missing the young lady's head.
This is a dangerous practice and
should be stopped. The law pro-
hibits it and when contractor allows
such, he should be held responsible.
If it had not been for the alertness
of the young lady, the blows from the
falling trash might have inflicted a
painful and probably a serious wound.
Some other method could be used for
disposing of the trash that is not so
dangerous 70 the public welfare.
