Dispersion of White House Treasures

Dispersion OF White House Treasures.
Many people believe that the White
House has been irretrievably ruined
by the modern and garish way it has
been remodeled by President Roose-
welt. The beautiful white marble
mantel over the fireplace of the east
room, at which many of the fathers of
the republic warmed and meditated,
or chatted with visitors and states
men, was torn out and sold by auc-
ton for two dollars and quarter.
It was rescued from a junk shop in
Alexandria by patriotic gentleman,
Col ]. E. Sickels, who owns a fine
Colonial home near Washington, and
it now adorns his dining-room. Nearly
all the fine old furniture that was so
appropriate to the old White House
was sacrificed at the same sale. A
beautiful sideboard that had graced
the state dining-room and had he'll
the dishes and glassware from which
diplomats, statesmen and their wives
and sweethearts had eaten and drunk,
which was presented to the first
President Harrison, was sold to
saloonkeeper for a trifle, and now
does duty in Seventh street dive.
The beautiful chandeliers, with their
thousands Of cut glass pendants,
which were imported from France at
enormous expense to the government,
were torn out and replaced by the
tawdry selection of a modern gas
man.
Many ladies, when visiting the
White House to view these historic
and priceless relics, have shed tears
when told by the attendants that
President Roosevelt had ordered them
removed, and they did not know
where they had been removed to.
President Roosevelt is an icono-
clast, he wants novelty and loves ex-
element The memories of former
greatness and the reminders of the
great men of the republic are to him
as nothing. All these priceless treas
ures of former days that other presi-
dents have cherished and cared for
have been dispersed never to be gath
cred again.

Another Patriot Provided For.

That the worst element of the Re-
publican party is being installed into
office by President Roosevelt is con-
stantly cropping out. The latest
patriot to be provided for is thus
described by the Nebraska Independ-
ent:
tom Cook has been appointed
collector of customs for that new ad-
dition to the United States called the
Panama zone. His reputation in
Nebraska rests, not on his efficiency
as collector of customs, but on that
of distributor of Doodle. Every dis
reputable scoundrel in the state OF
Nebraska who helped to debauch the
electors in the days of Mark Hanna
is now drawing a comfortable salary
from the people through the Repub-
lican party
The Independent may be little
too severe on the Republican Doodle
crowd in Nebraska and Tom Cook
in particular, but Panama is good
place to Danish such to and ms cad of
grumbling, there should be joy for
such deliverance.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from Mukden
announcing Information from Chinese
sources that Japanese are leaving a
garrison at Russian tanks, is partial
ly confirmed by the dispatch from Cen
eral Kuropatkin reporting that the
Japanese are massing on the Russian
tanks, that large force is concen-
trating at Bentsiaputxe, twenty miles
southeast of Mukden, and that anoth-
er force, whose force has not been es-
timated, is moving up the Lao Valley.
The greater part of Field Marshal
Oyama's army, however, is still near
Yentai, encamped along the heights
between the mines and the railroads.
While the war Office does not expect
an immediate advance the prelimin-
airy dispositions of the Japanese fore
es are taken to indicate that the jap
anese intend when they advance to
strike from the eastward. They seem
to be avoiding the territory west of

TO MARCH INTO MISSOURI.

Ieayeuworth.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Sept IL
The Sixth Infantry, accompanied by
the band, will leave for an eight days
practice march into Missouri, which
will take the troops as far north as

A press dispatch says a special
agent of the Department of Commerce
and Labor is investigating the beef
strike. If President Roosevelt would
use the mass of information already
gathered to criminally prosecute the
beef trust he would help the beef con-
sumers and the strikers at the same
time. One beef baron in Jail would
bring the whole crew to terms.

All the cabinet officers have left
Washington and the work Of the de-

well as if they were present. Cabinet

about sixty days when a campaign is
on and if they don't do any better
service on the stump than Shaw and
Wilson, their services could be dis
pensed with altogether to the advan-
tage of the Republican party.
