WHITE HOUSE WEDDINGS
Recent Ceremony the Twelfth
Years Married President Cleveland

President Jefferson's administration
was thesflrst that began and ended in
the White House. He was widower,
and whatever success his administra-
ton had Of social character was due
to the presence of Mrs. Madison, wife
OF the Secretary of State and the
greatest social factor Of Washington
official life.
The election OF James Madison
brought this most popular Of Ameri-
can women to the highest social posi-
ton in the Republic.
There were two weddings In the
White House while she was its mis-
tress. The first wedding to occur In
the Presidents house was that of the
widow Of nephew of George Wash
ington-Lucy Payne, Mrs. Madison's
younger sister, who was married at
the age Of Is, in 1892, to George Step
toe Washington, and lived during her
widowhood with the Madisons In
Washington.
The second White House wedding
took place after the War of 1912 was
ended. Mrs. Madison gave her cous-
In simpler but still large wedding.
The bride was a relative by marriage,
Miss Anna Todd Of Philadelphia, and
the bridegroom was member Of Con-
gress from Virginia, John G. Jackson,
great-uncle Of Stonewall Jackson.
The third wedding was that of Miss
Monroe.
The fourth marriage celebrated In
the Presidents house was that of
John Adams, the son and private Sec
rotary of President John Quincy AID.

a wedding reception in the White
House.
The fifth marriage in White House
history was that Of Miss Della Lewis
OF Nashville, Tenn, whose father,
William B. Lewis, was one of Presi-
dent Jackson's most intimate person
al friends. Miss Lewis was married
to Mr.. Alphonse Joseph Yver Pageot,
a native of Martinique, who was sec
rotary of the French Legation at the
time of his marriage.
President Jackson was intensely
fond of his wife's relatives, and being
a childless widower and having not a
relative in the world of his own, gath
cred about him many young people,
among whom were several of Mrs.
Jackson's nieces.
Mary Easten, a Tennessee girl, was
one OF these nieces, and when she was
married to Lucien B. Polk of Tennes-
see the President arranged to have
the ceremony take place in the Blue
room.
Another White House marriage that
occurred during President Jackson's
administration was that of Miss EN-
lily Martin, niece Of Mrs. Donelson,
who became the bride Of Lewis Ran
dolph, grandson of Jefferson.
Andrew Jackson, Jr., the adopted
son and private secretary of President
Jackson, married, soon after the inau-
guration, Miss Sarah Yorke of Phila-
delphia, and the wedding reception
was held at the White House. This
was the first of several wedding recep-
lions of the sons of Presidents which
have occurred there.
The next wedding festivity to take
place In the Presidents house was In
the administration Of President Mar
tin Van Buren,. He gave very bril-
liant wedding reception to his son,
Maj. Van Buren,, whose bride was the
accomplished Miss Angelica Singleton
Of South Carolina.
Following the one month admins
tration of President William Henry
Harrison, Vice President John Tyler
became the tenth President The year
succeeding his incumbency the eighth
wedding to occur In what was now
styled the Executive Mansion took
place. The bride was Elizabeth Ty-
Ter. who was married to William Wal
Ter OF Williamsburg, Va. in the Blue
room OF the Executive Mansion at
Washington on the s1st day OF Janu-

Keeps In Touch with PeonIe.

Congressman Calder of Brooklyn,
now serving his first term, is successor
of Mr.. Baker, who refused to accept a
railroad pass. In order to learn how
he might best please those who send
him to congress he mailed 10000 let
ters to his constituents asking for sug-
gestions. In week he had received
1,4oO replies, most Of them urging him
to stand by the president as regards
leading measures proposed. Many ask
for information or public documents.
Mr.. Calder is much pleased with the
result of his experiment, which con-
vinces him that his constituents read
the papers closely.

had been kept on the afternoon of
Dec. 80, which fell upon Sunday. The
Rev. DR.. McCabe, who had married
them, renewed his pastoral blessing
In the same words and heard the same
pledges that were uttered twenty-five
years before.
Following the ceremony q christen-
Ing took place. the child, a daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Heron, receiving the
name OF Lucy Hayes, In honor OF Mrs.
Hayes. Then Fanny and Scott Russell
Hayes. two of the Presidents children,
were baptized.
The tenth White House wedding
was that Of Miss Emily Plat, niece of
President Hayes, who was married to
Gen. Russell Hastings on June 10,
1878. The bride had been to the Pres.
ident and Mrs. Hayes as daughter,
and she had lived In their home for
many years, going to the White House
with them from Ohio. Gen. Hastings
had been a companion in arms OF the
President, having been the Lieuten-
ant Colonel of the Third Regiment of
Ohio Volunteers, of which President
Hayes was Colonel.
The ceremony was performed in the
Blue room by Bishop Jaeger of the
Southern Diocese of Ohio. In defer
ence to the wishes of both the bride
and the bridegroom the wedding was
q very quiet affair, the guests being
limited almost exclusively to family
friends and relations.
When next the Blue room was deo-
Grated for a marriage ceremony the
wedding was that of President, the
first to be married In the White
House. President Cleveland was the
second Chief Magistrate to be married
while In office.
Miss Frances Folsom, the bride, was
20 and was noted as being graceful

EXAMPLE OF CORPORATE GREED
Rights Of People Openly Disregarded
by Pennsylvania Railroad.

Wy to'''OoN'
Gov. Dawson has addressed the ma
tional senate through Senator Till
man in regard to the railway and coal
trust that has West Virginia by the
throat.
The response of the interstate COM
resolution showed that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad does not legally own a
controlling part of the stock of the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake
and Ohio, or the Norfolk and Western.
Gov. Dawson is doubtless right in say
ing that the Pennsylvania practically
controls all these lines. This puts
the coal industry of West Virginia,
which is one of the leading industries
of the state, at its mercy, and here,
as elsewhere, monopoly is the parent
of grave abuses. The Pennsylvania
and its subsidiary lines are in the coal
mining business. The three subsid-
larry lines are the only routes by
which West Virginia coal can get to
market. In making rates the controll-
ing company naturally favors it's own
mines of the subsidiary lines as
against those of Independent opera
tors. In both cases the best interests
of the people of West Virginia are
sacrificed to corporate greed.
The disregard shown for the lawful
rights of Independent operators is
illustrated by the Red Rock Fuel CON-
pany matter. This company has 1000
acres of valuable coal lands on the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
charged that the road Disseminated
against it in favor of itself and other
shippers and appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission for re-
lief. The commission, after hearing,
found that the Red Rock company's
complaints were just, and ordered the
Baltimore and Ohio to furnish the
facilities needed for taking care of its
business. The road refused and in
consequence, the coal company has
had to carry the case to the United
States Circuit court. Meantime the
railway Is doubtless making enough
money by it's tyrannical course to
more than pay it's share of the costs
OF the suit and the Red Rock COM
pany is losing more than proportion
ately.
The senate-and If not the senate,
the house-should make a thorough
investigation of the relations between
the Pennsylvania railroad and the os-
tensibly competing lines it is believed
to control, and also Of the alleged
community of interests existing be-
tween the Pennsylvania system and
the New York Central system. The
public wishes to know how extensive
and complete railway monopoly has
become and to see the necessary steps
taken speedily to break it up. Under
modern conditions those who control
the railway transportation facilities
of locality or country control its
Industrial commercial destiny.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

NETWORKS Lighting Plants.

Municipal ownership in New York
means public lighting plants. Mayor
Mcclellan places at s7567 900 the cost
of the initial plant for Manhattan and
the Bronx. The fixed charges and op-
Grating expenses will reach $1,269,000
year, or an annual saving to the city
of $434,000. The board of estimates
has authorized the purchase of sites
for the erection of electric lighting
plants in Manhattan, the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond
These sites have been bought and
now belong to the city. Municipal fire
alarms have also been discussed. The
alderman have been asked for the
immediate installation of 500 new fire
alarm boxes and for the erection of a
building to be used exclusively for
fire alarm central Office.

and winsome. Her engagement to the
President was made In the summer of
1885. Soon after she went to Europe
with her mother. and remained there
until few days before her wedding.
That occurred on the evening of June
2, 1886, at o'clock. In the Blue room.
To the strains OF Mendelssohn's
wedding March," played by the Ma
rine Band. the bridal couple, unattend-
ed, passed down the stairway and en-
tered the Blue room from the western
corridor. DR.. Sunderland met them
under the glittering center chandelier
and the wedding service followed.
The bride wore gown of ivory sat
In, with trimmings of India silk ar.
ranged In Grecian folds over the front
of the high corsage and fastened In
the folds OF satin at the side. Orange
blossoms and buds and leaves outlined
this drapery and adorned the edge OF
the skirt.
A coronet of orange blossoms fast
ened the veil, and garnitures of the
same blossoms were artistically arr
ranged throughout the costume. Her
veil of silk tulle enveloped her ana
softened the effect Of the satin gown.
1t fell over the entire length of the
long court train.
Gloves reaching to the elbow com
pleted the costume. No 1ewelry save
her engagement ring was worn. and ne
flowers were carried.
The habit Of gift making had not
reached its height when President
Cleveland was married, and the
crowned heads Of Europe, the Amert
can Ministers at foreign courts, and
countless other people contentsd
themselves with sending kilograms al
congratulation. The only gift the brida
exhibited to her friends was a diAs
mond necklace, composed OF q single
string of brilliants, the gin of the
bridegroom. To this gift Mr. Bissell.
the former law partner OF the Presk
dent added a pendant Of diamonds.
The wedding of Miss Alice Roose-
welt and Congressman Nicholas Long
worth in the East Room of the Execu.
tive Mansion is the twelfth to occur
in the White House.
Twenty years have passed since
Miss Frances Folsom became a bride
at the White House, and thirty-fouT
years have been numbered since Gen.
Grants only daughter was married In
the East Room.

SEES DOOM OF UNITED STATES.
Destined to Perish as Country, Says
Mexican Journal

To judge from present appearances
the United States is not likely to
reach old age. Administrative immor-
ality, the eagerness to win wealth,
name and power without regard to
the means; the RELOCATION to oblivion
OF the democratic practices of other
times and many other similar causes
are, actively contributing to the disso-
luton of the United States as a ma
ton. Moreover, that nation, which
was born, and had the rapid growth Of
monster, is bound also to come to
sudden ending, and having now reach
ed its highest point, its course hence
forth must be downward until it
reaches the lowest depths. BY the end
of the present century the United
States, which will have caused days
OF bitterness to the nations Of Ameri-
ca in general and to Mexico in par
ticular, will be split up into several
nations and probably they will no
longer be republics, but will have
some other form of government, per-
haps a monarchy, for by degrees the
Yankees are becoming monarchical
and they already regard many of the
uses Of institutions of democracy as
mere formulas.-Mexico City Ell ITEM

Henry c. Davis Visits Senate.

Henry Gassaway Davis, Democratic
candidate for vice president at the last
national election, was conducted
through the senate the other day, chap
eroned by his son-in-law, Senator FL
kins. The old gentleman was cordially
greeted on all sides and it was noticed
that he cast more than one wistful
glance at the presiding officers chair,
which under other circumstances he
might have occupied. He looked al
most as young and spry as the senator
who was showing him about the
place.

ATTAINING SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Have object Clear, and HabitualI,
Work Toward IL


1t has been said that success con.
sists in getting that at which one
aims, and being happy in it. Each
one should have an ideal of what is to
be the expression of his or her life.
If this Is attained in some degree, such
life may be called successful. Hence,
the successful man or woman is the
one who has succeeded fairly we'll in
shaping the actual life in accordance
with the ideals of life. This requires
a strength and persistence that call
for continual struggle. 1t forms the
highest achievement of life. Bulwer
well says that the man who succeeds
above his fellows is the one who early
in life clearly discerns his object, and
toward that object habitually directs
his powers.-From Vital Questions

"Home Sweet Home. y

Home, Sweet Home" Payne's song,
was originally a number in the opera
"Clari, the Maid of Milan" a pro-
duction brought out in 1923. The op.
era was failure, and nothing is now
known of it save the one song, which
became instantly popular. over
100000 copies were sold in the first
year of its publication, and the sale in
one form or another has been con-
slant ever since the first appearance
of this beautiful theme. The melody
is Sicilian folk song and was adapt
ed to the words by Payne himself

TIMBER FAMINE IN PLAIN VIEW
Supply Only Sufficient for Needs of
Forty Years.

Forty Years.
The woodmen spared not the trees
whose ghosts now return to threaten
us with timber famine. Whereas ten
years ago only the soundest ties were
used by the railroads, seconds and
thirds are now accepted by the pur-
chasing agents. Red oak, black oak,
beech, gums, pines and other soft
woods which once were considered
worthless are now treated with creo-
sote and other personalities for ties,
crossarms and poles. This treatment
quadruples the life of a soft wood tie
and will meet the demand for some
years. But shortage is in sight and
must be met by plantations. Maude
Adams is said to have planted upon
her Long Island property 100000 To-
Gust trees, which will make the best
and most lasting telegraph poles and
railroad ties. A catalpa plantation
in Kansas owned by railroad shows
an annual net profit of $12.65 per acre.
The annual tie consumption of a single
railroad Is about 3,S50,000 ties, the
yield of 1880 acres. The total an
nual consumption of railroad ties is
120,O00,O00, or fully one-sixth of the
total cut Of timber. Besides this are
the vast drains upon the forest for
telegraph and telephone poles, cross
arms and other uses. At the present
rate Of consumption the United States
will be bare of marketable timber in
forty years. The government forest
service offers substantial help to plant.
