MRS. 5oAnsoN's OLD AGE.
President Buchanan's Niece Broken in
 Spirit and Health.

From the New York Sun. .
 In her old-fashioned square house on ! street, Washington, Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston is in absolute seclusion The niece of President Buchanan is broken in spirit and in Health. With her com panion, Miss May Kennedy, at her side, she passes her days in a great armchair in sunny alcove. Mrs. Johnston, with the possible exception of Dolly Madison, was the most famous of the White House women She ruled the Presidents abode when the nation was on the verge of war. She gained celebrity when Edward of England visited America. A tactful young woman, she reaped honors from her entertainments for the prince. It was task few girls could have carried out. After the Buchanan administration the aspect of Harriet Lanes life changed.
 She was married to Henry Johnston. After the birth of a son the father died, and the babys death followed in year. This double grief almost unbal- anced the mind of the brilliant woman, and for years she remained in retirement. At last she listened to the advice of her friends and joined the gay world. equip ped with the prestige of a Presidents niece. Her home on I street became a social center. Then followed the "en- graving scandal" In her house was collection of extremely rare engravings, each bearing the signature and com pliments of Edward of England. They had been sent by him after his return to

BOYS WORRY THE TELEPHONE.
How lnqulsltIve Youngsters Have Been the Cause of Expensive and Un-
 satisfactory Changes.

From the New York Mail and Express.
 If small boys were not so mischievous the telephone service in this town would be better and more profitable. That is what the telephone people say, and they ought to know
 Every one who uses a telephone is confronted by the effect of the small boys pranks. The outer disc in the transmitter is made of rubber, and Is perforated with many small holes. The vibrations of the voice are carried through the holes to the metal disc, which Is a delicate affair and nicely ad- justed, and is found just behind the disc of rubber. From the metal disc the vi- brations are carried along the wires and conversation Is possible If the metal disc Is not in proper order the service is not so good. so it. is necessary 10 guard the inner disc from violence.
 Until recently the metal discs were ex- posed, and the office boys, waiting for an answer call amused themselves by punching the discs with their fingers, In a short time the discs were out of order, and the head of the firm said things to the telephone people that are usually represented in type by dashes. The telephone people tried to explain, but explaining didn't improve the service, and mechanical way of spelling the of- flee boys fun had to be found.
 The difficulty was solved temporarily, by placing a small bar across the face of the disc. But that didn't bother the boy. He simply took the pencil and jabbed harder than ever, and the result was soon the same as when he used his fingers. That led to further effort which produced the present perforations. With the new outer disc the service Is not so good so it is evident that the New York office boy has played hob with the tele- phone,

London. The great value of the engrav- ings gave rise to stories that the gift had been intended for the nation, not for the Presidents niece.
 Mrs Johnston said positively that the pictures had been given to her, but this failed to quell the storm Of gossip. Fin ally she wrote to the English government, with the request that the controversy be settled. The result was her complete vindcation. But the scandal served to send her into seclusion once more. Never since then has she taken the old interest in public life. True, Presidents wives always remember her when sending out invitations, but they seldom capture Mrs. Johnston for guest What she calls public ingra titude" has served to make her heart broken
