SOCIAL STRAIN IN
THE WHITE HOUSE
How Washington and Other
Presidents Lived
There.

Mrs. Roosevelt, being overtaxed by
the social duties of her position and
the spectacle of a congressman who
easily swallowed a fifty million dollar
river and harbor grab and a thirty
million dollar public buildings steal,
gagging at an apprOpria ton of 100000
for the maintenance of the Executive
Mansion, calls attention to the various
degrees of state in which the presi-
dents have lived and the various parts
which they and their wives have played
in the social life of the capital and
country.
The nation never had a president
more stately and gorgeous than Wash
ington. His state coach was drawn by
six cream colored horses, with postil-
ions, footmen and coachmen in livery
The first executive mansion, the Frank
lin house, on Cherry Hill, was known
as THE Palace" and the Father of His
Country made profuse use of the
Washington coat arms and the
coat-Of-arms of the United States.
Mrs. Washington was spoken of as
Lady Washington" and at receptions
she stood beside her husband on a raised
platform or dais. In short, it was a
regular little court which was estab-
GShed by the first president. Washing
ton dressed plainly, but with the great
est richness. and liked to see uniforms
and gorgeous costumes about him.
Lady Washington, on public occasions
rustled in brocades and cleaned with
jewels. The president and his wife af-
fected the most expensive laces that
money could buy. The newly elected
president crossed the bay '1n an ele-
CANT barge, decorated with an awning
of satin, twelve oarSmen in white
frocks with blue ribbons" and a niece
Of Walter Franklin, from whom the
palace" on Cherry Hill was hired, says
of it when it had ben prepared for the
reception of the general: The best
furniture in every room and the great
est quantity of plate and china l ever
saw; the whole of the first and second
story is papered and the floors covered
with the richest Wilton and Turkey
carpets"
Washington dined at the ultra fash
ionable hour of 4. His fare was what
then was considered sumptuous, his
wines of the finest and his table service

lengthy, is signed by James j. Corbett

OFFERS FROM THE EAST
Michigan VIII Not Play Games With
West Point and Columbia.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. March s.
West Point and Columbia have asked
Michigan for football games next sea-
son, but the requests have been de-
clined, as Manager Baird says that
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Chicago are
all the big propositions that Michigan
can handle in one season.
Last year Michigan tried TO secure
football games with Harvard and Cor
nell, but failed. HarVard's Geclination
was a compliment to Michigan. She
said that Princeton and Yale were the
only big teams she could train for in
one season. AS she plays West Point
the compliment can be easily seen.
1t is not probable that Michigan
will ever so East to play football. The
trip is a hard one and expensive. Ger
tainly the trip would not be made I'M
less there is an agreement on the part
of the Eastern university to play a
return game here the following sea-
son.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton have
expressed a desire to play ball with
Michigan this year. But the Michigan
baseball schedule has been made up
without an Eastern trip.

at the usual hour, o'clock, and after
washing and dressing prayed for some
time. He babe his death watch a
pleasant good morning and said that
he had enjoyed a comfortable nights
rest. He was then served breakfast
and ate heartily. The morning was
spent in consultation with his spiritual
adviser and in letter writing. He re-
quested that his last letters be mailed
without the sheriffs inspection of their
contents.
AT noon a light lunch was served
and during the afternoon Hendersons
sisters, Mrs. Josephine Heard and Mrs.
Bessie LapSley, of Philadelphia, visited
their condemned brother. Other friends
called to offer their condolences, hut
Henderson told them to spare the eff
fort, as he was prepared to die and did
not fear the end.
chart served Henderson with his last
meal. 1t consisted of roast chicken,
potatoes, corn, tomatoes, coffee and
quart bottle of champagne which was
sent as present to the prisoner by one
of his friends. Henderson asked for
second service of dinner, saying that
ne had never enjoyed a meal as much
as his last supper After dinner he
rested for fifteen minutes and then
again received visitors. Shortly before
10 o'clock DIR. Callahan went to the
condemned mans cell and remained
with him until he was led to the GAL
lows.
History of the Crime.
Charles Ernest Lafayette Henderson,
colored. murdered his common law
wife, Ida Perry, also colored, at Du-
luth in 1902. The crime grew out of
fit of drunken jealousy and occur
red in the cottage occupied by Hender-
son and the woman. She had been
away from home several days, and
during this time Henderson put in his
time drinking heavily.
On the night of the murder, while
concealed in closet, Henderson over
heard conversation between the
woman and a female friend in which
she stated that she had no use for him.
Later in the night, Henderson took a
butcher-knife and stabbed her fifteen
times. He left the scene of the crime,
but was shortly after arrested.
He claimed that he had been drunk
and did not remember what he had
done. After his conviction and SEN
tence to death Henderson experienced
religion and made a strong appeal to
the pardon board to have his sentence
committed to Imprisonment for life.
The board refused. Henderson's par
ents were slaves at Salisbury, n. c.,
where he was born.

elaborate and splendid. When the
president walked out he was always
accompanied by two aids at a respect
ful distance. His carriages are de-
scribed as very splendid" and al Ibis
servants were in the Washington livery
or white, trimmed with orange and red
John Adams kept up much the same
state Washington when he became
president the capital then being in
Philadelphia. The winters were one
continual round of balls. dinner parties
ana other festivities, and Mrs Adams
complains. in her letters, of the Sc
we're strain she had to undergo in at
tending her social duties. Though
people did not kneel and kiss hands"
when presented, many of the ceremo-
mas or European courts were intro
duced. But when, in the last year of
Adams presidency, the seat of gov
eminent was removed to the stray
Cling village of Washington, pomp and
gayety became impossible in the I'M
finished surroundings in which the
government found itself

affected an extreme simplicity. 1t was
the style then. France always has ex-
erc1sed widespread influence on
styles" and France had recently be-
come severely republican, preparatory
to becoming imperial. Jefferson abol-
1shed public receptions, now considered
as most democratic, and sent invita-
tons to dinner in the name of Thomas
Jefferson" instead of 1.-The President"
The family wash was hung to dry in
the East room of the White house, and
crackers and cider and cheese were Of
fered to guests.
Under Madison the social life of the
executive mansion became more deco
rouS, and his wife, the celebrated Dol
a h.,
company as brilliant as her opportu-
mites afforded. John Quincy Adams
made his social administration stately,
and succeeding presidents, though they
did not return to the pomp of Wash
ington and John Adams, have never
reverted to the ostentatious simplicity
of Jefferson.
Jackson precipitated a social row.
which became political one, by try
ing to force into society a woman
whom one of his secretaries had mar
ried, and whose character had been as
sailed. This row resulted in the draw
ing up later of regular code for the
government of social life at the White
house, which, in many respects, is still
adhered to. Many customs at the ex.
ecutive mansion have come to have
almost the force of law.
When Miss Elizabeth Cleveland went
to the White house to preside there for
ner prother she was surprised to see
many of her school girl friends whom
she had been entertaining at dinner
draw back and form a line for her to
pass through as the came to the din
ing room door. But such is the infleX-
IDLE rule at the executive mansion.
The host or hostess must never be
preceded through any door by the
guests. The question of presidential
guard of soldiers has often been agi-
tatP0 hIIf nrncidnnf i1no
has ever had one, and it was with re-
luctance he consented to have soldiers
quartered at night in the White house.

KILLING OFF THE GAME BIRDS.
Cold Storage System Assists in Exter-
mination of Wild Fowl.

TulIidiiOI " S"is
The Audubon society, of Missouri.
calls attention anew to the fact that
cold storage is fastening the extermi-
nation of wild animals. Congress has
passed a law regulating the traffic and
shipment of birds and game, but i'm
mense seizures by government officers
show that the statute is extensively
violated.
1t is now held by persons who have
given special attention to the subject
that the only sufficient remedy is to
prohibit the sale of all game. 1t has
been ascertained by the Audubon So
ciety, of Missouri, that within the past
fifteen years song birds and insectiv-
Orous birds in Missouri have decreased
81 per cent and game birds over 80
per cent. Last year one seizure in
New York included $4,000 game birds
and $4,000 song birds. In Chicago 3d.
900 game birds were seized, and a
whole car load of quail was captured
in Indian territory. Game and song
birds are going fast, and the propO-
sition to stop their sale entirely gains
supporters fast.-St. Louis Globe

Will telegraph you within half an hour

Within a few minutes after leaving

sage, directed to Sheriff Haugen at
Aitkin:
Text of Governors Reprieve.

instructed and commanded to delay
such execution until said date.
IS. r. Van SAINT"
The question as to the sanity OF
Olson, on which stay was granted, is
raised at the trial and was also men
toned in the application which was
presented to the pardon board asking
that his sentence be committed to i'm
prisonment for life.
1t is asserted by a number of reputa-
bic citizens of AitlIin that the crime
committed by Olson was done without
generalization and at a time when he
was wholly irresponsible mentally. The
point is also made that the jury in it's
verdict directed and included a rec
ommendation for mercy which was ig-
nored by the court.
1t is also alleged that the trial and
disposition of the case was partially
influenced by the intense public senti-
ment caused by a false and fraudulent
letter purporting to have been written
by the dead girl in which it was in
timated that Olson had been crimi-
nalIy intimate with her. The letter
was published throughout the country
at the time of the trial and is said to
have had considerable to do with the
outcome of it.

would be increased to 10 per cent if the
