apparently waiting and watching for ce--
tain young ladies whom they desire to
see home. These young ladies are seized
upon and taken away They propa6iy do
not object TO being captured in this
way, but The young ladies who are not
taken find running the gauntlet very
embarrassing. The young men were
reminded that this was not the proper
mode Of procedure If a young man
wishes the company of 4 young lady

not have the meagerest kind of founda-
tions. The latest is the most ridiculous
of all. j is said that the historic cab
met room where every president Tor
half century. up to the time OF Roose-
welt, gathered his official advisers about
him, has been transformed into gym
nasium with bare floor and with walls
decorated only by fencing masks ana
foils boxing gloves and other athletlc
properties; that here the president ana
Gen. Wood have their bouts at single
stick, and that the president INDUCES
in every other kind of strenuous eXer-
else; that everything suggestive of old
traditions has been .ruthlessly torn
away. Now it happens that President
Roosevelt has taken special pains TO
keep this old cabinet room in its time
honored condition, The same prints
are on the walls, the same books ana
cases are at hand and the same chairs
and desks are there as they were under
Mckinley and Harrison and GARFIELD.
The room is the presidents study and
consultation room. Whenever he has
an important policy to consider he is
in the habit of gathering there the par
ty leaders in congress in order TO talk
it over with them. More than one polit-
ical conference of the highest impor-
lance has been held there in the last
few months. The old cabinet room will
continue under Roosevelt and doubt
less under his successors to make his
tory as it has made it in the past. Its
traditions will still linger even though
it is no longer frequented by hordes
of office seekers, as was so often the
case in the days when the white house
was devoted to public business. There
is no such thing as a gymnasium in the
white house, although there might we'll
be. The president takes his exercise
wherever and whenever he can, he
has nothing in the way of system
for it.

Mr.. Hewitt's converter is a further

into Independence square and make
it commemorative of the revolution
ary war. Lafayette and ROchambeau
already occupy the two most cOnspic-
nous corners of the enclosure. The
proposal is to place on the other cor
ners statues authorized by congress in
memory of Baron Steuben and Gen.
Pulaski. The idea is an attractive one
and if it were not for the sacred Jack
son it might be put into effect. The
jackson statue is probably the most
famous of all the equestrian figures in
Washington. 1t has been the theme of
and partisans ever since Clark Mills
modelled it years before the civil war.
1t raised a storm of discussion as to the
possibility of any horse ever assuming
such a position as was there perpet-
uated in bronze, balancing itselfp proud
Nv on it's hind legs and the tip of it's
tail. For over half a century it has
been one of the artistic marvels OF the
capital. There is an old, old story that
when Charles Sumner tried to enter
tain Lord Lytton by driving him about
the CITY he took special pains to dis
tract his lordships attention when
they passed by Lafayette square. But
Lytton spied the Jackson effigy and
upset all calculations by demanding to
know who that might be perched on
a rocking horse. Yet with all its ques-
tionable artistic qualities it is doubt
full whether any other statue in the
capital is the object of quite SO much
sentiment as this. 1T has almost come
to be a democratic shrine, and any
proposition to move it from its CON
spicuous position in front of the white
house is sure to arouse resentment.
When the Lafayette statue was pre-
sented by France about ten years ago
it was at first proposed to erect it in
the middle Of the south side of the
square directly between the Jackson
statue and the white house. The
foundations were already built at con-
siderab BILE expense when the friends of
Jackson got wind of it. Senator Bate,
