adjoining it. The animal rooms are
finished in concrete. and all the wood

Perhaps one of the most interesting
places to the visitor is the roof of the
building. Around the corrugated

one of the outside cabins on an ocean
steamship, are graveled decks for rec

may get exercise, air and sunbath.
In one part of this room is the autopsy

dissected, and nearby is room for

The Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research
Splenddy Equipped Building Opened January-Fhst.
Its Kind In America

A few years ago little life, dear
to its grandfather and its parents,
went out, victim to q virulent dis
ease, before which the best medical
skill was powerless. At the time, per-
haps, it was not realized what a great
mission that short life had performed,
but to-day as the finishing touches are
being put upon the fine fve-story
laboratory building in New York
where scientists will devote their time
to the discovery of remedies for dis
eases, we are able to see and under
stand for out of the grief Of that death
the grandfather, John D. Rockefeller,
found for the gift of million dollars,
which made the building and the en-
dowment Of the institution possible.
This institute for medical research,
which is to bear Mr.. Rockefellers
name, is considered one Of the most
important gifts which he has ever
made to science and humanity. 1t Is
the first and only one of its kind in
America, and will be similar in its
scope and endeavor to the Pasteur in.
stitute of Paris, and the institute for
infectious diseases founded by DR..
Koch, in Berlin.
The research work will be done in
laboratories, with animals for expert
ment, along the lines of the brilliant
achievements Of Drs. Koch and
Pasteur. whose discoveries have
The Bottineau courant., 1906-01-26

already revolutionized medical science
throughout the world.
DR.. Simon Flexner, formerly Of the
University of Pennsylvania, will be the
resident director Of the institution, and
he will not only aim to duplicate the
most advanced features of the famous
institutions Of Europe, but will aim to
make new American discoveries in all
directions in medical science.
The main building, together with
the power house and animal quarters,
and other buildings, have fine loca-
ton on the OH Schermerhorn estate,
covering three blocks stretching along
the East river. The labratory, or main
structure, G0xl35 feet is plain, i'm
posing edifice of Indiana limestone.
1t rises five stories from the basement
and upon tn; roof behind the parapet
is an extra story built Of f1reproof ma
terial incased 10 copper, to be devoted
to special purposes in connection with
the animal fea!Ares Of the laboratory.

floor are the admit istration headquar-
ters and the assembly room, where the
surgeons will hold their conferences.

The second floor is devoted to the
chemical research laboratories, each
fitted with tue most elaborate and up
to-date appliances. Some idea of their
extent may be had when it is stated
that 81 carloads Of tables, desks, chem
ical hoods and other scientific furni
ture have been made especially for the

Some Of White House
Ceremonials and Weddings
Tradition Tells Pretty Story Christening Of Executive Mansion
Beautiful Mrs Tyler " Bride Of the White House."

Washington never dwelt In the White
House, but it was our first president
who christened the homeTof future
presidents; named, 80 one with senti-
mental leanings tells us, "in sweet
memory Of the White House from
which he won and welded his bride in
l759."
When Washington and the youthful
Widow Curtis married, the couple spent
their honeymoon at the home of the
bride-White House, on the Pamunkey
river, Virginia. A proper bridegroom
looks back ever with tenderest senti-
ment on his honeymoon days, and of
course Washington, who for these hun
dred years has been held up to good
Americans all as model of propriety,
comes under this head; wherefore let
US forego diligent search after facts,
let US assume the executive mansion
was named in honor Of sentiment.
Just at present, when the country is
illustrating by its interest in the ap-
preaching wedding of the present pres
1dent's daughter, that all the world
loves a lover, let US delve into records
of past social life at the offlcial resi-
dence, let us speak OF courtships and
weddings associated therewith-"the
joyous nuptial ceremony, the pomp and
glitter of fetes and receptions"
In the early days pomp and glitter
existed, even when Washington was
quite backwoods place. When the
first lady of the White House. Mrs. John
Adams, came to the executive man
sion, she must have looked upon it as
a lodge in the wilderness; on her drive
from Baltimore to Washington, the
way was lost in the woods; on final

name." But the White House was
planned on a grand scale, and present
ty the capable lady had her family
comfortably settled, and on New Year s
lay, 1901, President and Mrs. Adams
held the first of the White House New
Year receptions.

House. Dolly Madison, wife of the Sec
'etary of state, presided on occas' ons

extreme Of Jeffersonian simplicity.
The first marriage that took place at
the White House occurred during the
Madison occupation, in the winter of
1911; the bride, Miss Todd, relative
sf Mrs. Madison; the bridegroom. Mr..
Jackson, of Virginia "The nuptial
ceremony was very brilliant, and was
attended by nearly all the select So
ciety of the capital"
Mrs. Madison was succeeded by Mrs.
Monroe, the latter very beautiful and
cultured woman, who had lived abroad
many years and was we'll acquainted
with the society of various European
capitals. A Virginia lady that attend
ed levee at the White House, gives us
this picture: Mrs. Monroe's manner
is very gracious, and she is a regal
looking lady. Her dress was superb
black velvet, neck and arms bare and
beautifully formed; her hair in puffs
and dressed high on the head and or
namented wl.1 white ostrich plumes;
around her neck an elegant pearl neck
lace"
The marriage Of the Monroes' daugh-
ter Maria to her cousin. Samuel L. Gou-
veneur, was performed at the White
House in 1920 We to-day who read of
Alice Roosevelt's coming-out gown, her
ball dresses, and now await description
of her trousseau, may care to know how
that White House girl of some 80 years
ago was arrayed on certain occasion
after she had attained to matronly
honors, the occasion the last levee held
by the Monroes: MRS. Gouveneur is

In retirement. The story Of his second
marriage is tinged with sadness, as a
tragedy was cause Of his early inti-

Exporters and shippers have pur-

ready demand for the fat classes. Me-

have been in abundance thus far in the

has given sellers opportunity to work
them off at fair prices. -
In the International auction sale of
show steers, seventy-four carloads sold

championship of the show went at SIT.
Cow stock has sold mostly 10c lower

and the heavy packers. The spread in
prices. between the commoner and best
hogs is narrower, only very poor
