from England for visit. and expressed

buchanan attempted to engineer the
meeting. and called upon Jackson TO ar
range for the presentation. He found
him In old clothes, feet on desk, enjoy

agreed TO receive Lady e in an hour
Fearful Of results, Buchanan presumed,
on leaving, to remind the old war horse
/ that his visitor was Of high rank. and
accustomed to all the ref1nements OF So
ciety- Taking his pipe from his mouth,
while his eyes glinted fire. Jackson said
TO the Pennsylvania Senator:
"JeemeS Buchanan, when 1 went to
school 1 read about a man that 1 was
much interested in. He was a man who
minded his own business and he made
a large fortune at it."
Chagrined and discounted, Buchanan
retired and brought Lady E to the
White House, regretting in advance the
impression she would receive through
seeking an audience on this day of all
others. What was his surprise when
Jackson descended to the coach in per-
bson, fau1tlessly arrayed, escorted the
distinguished visitor 10 the house. and
entertained her for an hour with such
grace and courtesy that she declared
she had not met a more elegant gentle
man in all her travels. There was some
thing truly wonderful about this back
woodsman from Tennessee, the dignity
OF whose address and unfailing courtesy
TO women have become proVerbial.
The Charming Nieces.
But his Administration would not have
been the social success it was without
the assistance Of his worthy nieces,
Emily Donelson and Sarah Yorke. The
Beautiful Emily was the real mis-
tress of the White House. She had a
very wonderful faculty for harmonizing
the discordant elements from every
sphere of social life, brought TO the
White House by her uncle's sterling
democracy. And she had some of her
uncles spirit. too. When the memory
of his slandered wife induced him TO
champion the cause of the impossible
Peggy O'Neill. he demanded Of his Cabi-
net that they call upon her. Instead
they resigned. He Their turned TO Emily
and made the same demand of her
Emily. who had shown unfailing cour-
tesy TO Peggy when a guest at the
White House. said: Uncle. 1 will do
anything you ask. that is possible for
a lady to do; but call upon Mrs. Eaton
I viii not" And for the first and only
time in his life Jackson was defeated.
Refreshments were then still served at
White House receptions. and at his
farewell reception Jackson provided an

ditions the official society of a nation,
one of the greatest women that nation
has produced. Abigail Adams, with linn

rose equal TO every situation she met.
Wife Of the first minister to the court
Of st. James, she met the supercilious
contempt of Queen Charlotte with n
pride and tact which compelled respect.

she brought the same qualities to the

There was nothing exceptional in the
social life of the Van Burens, and the
religious Mrs. Harrison did not reach
Washington during the month her hus-
band lived after his inauguration, and
when the Tylers found themselves IN

ADJUSTMENTS

The Orris Ober Stock company
opens a weeks engagement at
the city opera house tonight in
Parted. The play presented
on the opening night is one of
exceptional interests from the
fact that i'll the role of Florence
Grantley, Miss Ober is reviving
the part that was in quite a mea..
sure responsible for being eleva-
ted to the stellar honors by Man
ager Ettlnger and moreover from
the fact that the play itself is one
of the brightest and cleye rest
given to the public. In the revival
of thishighly successful pieceMr.
Ettinger has provided a very
strong supporting cast, including
such we'll known players as Mr..
Bruce Delamater, one of the
cleverest young leading men on
the stage, having been in support
of the we'll known actress, Mrs.
F'itz Allan, formerly leading
woman for Salvenia Il Keen.

the company, was featured fol

THE desperate situation

The desperate situation Of
Democracy is evidenced BY the
reports from Washington to the
effect that Senator G orman is be-
ing groomed as a compromise
candidate upon whom both the
Parker and the Hearst factions
may unite Nc man has shown
so fixedly opposed to the great
policies which the people Of the
nation have determined to carry
out as has Senator German.

A Living Wage.

An effort is being made to adj
vance the salaries Of the rural
delivery mail carriers from 5000
to $72O. The former rate is so
low that it is claimed that good
men cannot be secured especially
ia those districts where it is
most desired to establish the ser
vice as an aid to the settlement
and development of the country.
The smallness of the salary
has led the carrier to carry on a
private express and messenger
business of his own to exc out
his income. This scheme has
been warmly commended but it
works in a peculiar manner In
thlckly settled communities IT
pays the carrier a good revenue
while IN thinly settled districts
the carrier is but little helped.
Consequently the plan is not an
equitable solution of the problem
Of the carriers salary.
is also claimed that the car
rier, hired by the public, is thus
made compeGitoz OF the public.
He can be secured to carry par.
cells for less than postal rates
and the postoffice department is
thus the loser.
Both these considerations
would seem to make it desirable
that the carrier be paid a stated
salary sufficient for a living wage
and that he be not allowed to mix
his private business with his
public duties.
