GEN. BOOTHS BREAD BREAKING.
Fare of the Salvation Army's Founder
at Senator Hanna's Luncheon.

New York SUM-
In the letter of President Roosevelt TO
General Booth, which was read at the fare
well meeting to the founder of the Saliva
ton Army at the Metropolitan Opera House
last Tuesday night, reference was made
& to the generals breaking te,nsr 1Fead 3b In the
Army smiled when the letter was read
THE general is great bread eater, he
said, mot because he Is particularly fond
of it, but because Ii is about the only diet
that agrees with him. His condition does
not permit him to indulge In any of the
delicacies which are found upon the tables
OF people who entertain.
Il don't know how much bread the gen.
eral got at the White House, but he had TO
fight for what he got at the luncheon given
him by Senator Hanna. The senator prob
ably did not know that the general was on
a prescribed diet.
"A plate of bread was placed before him
and at the same time a course was served
which the general had to turn down. II
was done In a way which attracted no no.
tice. The general had showed his plate of
bread to one side and waiter removed it,
"A few moments later the same plate or
another. was placed before him. and a
second course was served. The general
had to make some sort of bluff at the Sec
ond course. and in doirg so the waiter
again removed the bread.
This was kept up during the luncheon
Just about the time the general was get
ting ready TO partake OF bread IL was re-
moved from his grasp. BY the time the
luncheon was pretty nearly finished and
turned to Senator Hanna and said:
Give me some bread and butter. That
waiter has taken away the bread he gave
me at the removal of every course. Please
let me break bread with you before 60
Then Senator Hanna learned that the
general had been more OF a spectator than
a guest at the luncheon. and am told that
bread was given the general until he had
10 beg the senator TO let up.

STOLE wAsHINGToN's WORDS.
vandaI Defaced Maryland Revolu-
tionary Monument I'm Brooklyn.

New York Evening Telegram.
Bronze lettering spelling the words OF
George Washington was stolen from the
Maryland statue OF the American Revolu-
ton, in Prospect, Brooklyn. yesterday
Those who venerate historical reminis-
censes are much angered by the vandalism,
and the Brooklyn police are trying TO learn
who did IL. The bronze itself. in letters
three inches long. is worth about $500.
The inscription stolen was this: Good
God! What brave fellows ! must this day
lose"
That inscription is under the explanatory
description OF the object of the monument:
Erected I'm memory OF the battle OF Long
Island to the 400 Maryland soldiers ~ho de-
Tended the rear OF the retreat OF the Amer
lean army" On the other side Is: Erected
by the Baltimore Sons OF the American
Revolution"
The theft was first discovered by Police
man William A. Vanderbeck. who lives near
by, and whose beat Is at that section While
on his beat through the park he noticed
several bronze letters lying about the grass.
and on further investigation he found that
they had been hacked from the monument
by some person who had evidently been
frightened away. Only few OF the main
letters were found. the thief escaping with

WHITE HOUSE EXPENSES.
The President Should He Able to En-
tertafn Freely.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper's Weekly.
When Colonel Bingham told Congress
that there was more entertaining than
usual In the White House this year, he
explain the increase of $35.OOO in the appro-
priation asked for. That increase, for
maintenance of the White House, seems
to have been chiefly a consequence of al
terations and refurnishing. Presidents from
New York have usually set pace In hos
pitality. Mr.. Van Buren entertained gen.
erously and handsomely; so did Mr. Arthur;
and President Roosevelt has lived up to-
and somewhat beyond, their traditions
There Is every reason why a President
should keep hospitable house if 1t accords
seeing come to the White House in a given
season than come to any other house in
the country. They make society that is
varied, distinguished and prodigiously in
teresting. The temptation to seat con-
slant stream of guests at the White House
table is quite comprehensive. and Mr.
Roosevelt having a liking for company,
pleasure. Taken by itself the Presidents
salary looks large; taken in connection
with such hospitalities as the White House
looks small. The government by no means
pays for the Presidents hospitalities 1t
defrays some expenses OF maintenance and
service, but the wages of nearly all of his
household servants and the checks for the
butcher, the baker, the grocer (wet or dry,
the caterer, the confectioner and the other
purveyors of entertainment come out Of
the Presidents own bank account. If a
President is going to money he must
restrict his household expenses. That
should not be so. The way Mr.. Roosevelt
lives in the White House is very good
way for President to live If he likes it.
The President of the United States should
not have to economize. He should be able
to live generously and without undue
thought about the cost of Ii. and at the
same time to lay aside a good part of his
income When the present salary of the
President has been doubled ii will not be a
bit too large. Even then no President will
be able to save too much out of it, even in
eight years.

COMPLETE TREATMENT. sI.oo.

The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss Of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as In SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as In
pirples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering Of infants and the anxiety Of
worn-out parents, as In milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand rem
edy Of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty Of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cut;cle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, In the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set Is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails. r

HAVANA, March R.-The publication of
Washington dispatches regarding the
amendments to the reciprocity treaty by
the Senate foreign relations committee has
caused a renewal of apprehension among
business men that the treaty may remain
unsettled until the next session of the
United States Congress. The merchants
and bankers here hope that If the amend
ment requiring the approval of the House
is adopted President Roosevelt will call a
special session of the House to settle the
matter. The uncertainty regarding the
rates of duties has seriously hampered both
the export and import trade for several
months. The merchants, although anxious
for ratification. now declare that even the
rejection of the treaty is preferable to a
further long period of uncertainty

Debate ON Religious Orders.

PARIS, March 12.-The Chamber Of Dep
uties was the center of great interest and
animation to-day at the opening of the de-
bate on the religious orders. A large crowd
filled the galleries, and the floor of the
Chamber also was crowded. The ministerial
bench was occupied by Premier Combes and
most of his associates in the Ministry.
Previous discussions of the subject this
session have involved incidental phases,
such as the use of the Breton dialect in the
schools, but to-dayis debate involved the
main issue, the question of the discontinue
ance of teaching by the religious orders.
The matter came up on proposition SUBJ
mitted by the premier refusing the request
for authorization to teach made by fifty
four male religious congregations. This had
been made special order of the day, the
expectation of the majority being that the
debate would continue six to ten days be-
fore a decisive vote could be taken. Owing
to the strength shown by the Ministry on
the recent test votes the adoption of the
premier's proposition was considered prac-
tically certain. The debate to-day was de-
void of exciting features.
