HER AUTOGRAPH QUILT.
Among non signatures President neose'
veIt's u Mast Conspicuous.

Mrs. II. I. Butler. an old time friend
and admirer Of theatrical folk and dis
tinguIshed Americans In all occupations,
completed yesterday what she declares
IL the only autograph quilt ever fashioned
in America and. perhaps, In the world.
Every ribbon Of the 800 with autographs OF
celebrities that goes 10 make up the quilt
IL different in color from every other. The
quilt Is two yards square. Mrs. Butler Ia
going to give 1t to her sixteen-year-old
granddaughter.
Only three persons who were asked TO
contribute autographs to the unique orea-
zion refused. They were Helen Gould, who
said that IL was not her habit to give her
autograph: william Gillette, who merely
sent back the ribbon without comment, and
Henrietta Crosman. who offered TO ex.
change her autograph for 50 TO be devoted
to a theatrical charity in which she Is inter-
ested. Julia Marlowe sent her autograph
Mrs. Butler and asked Mrs. Butler TO con-
tribute to Miss Marlowe's particular charity,
which Mrs. Butler did.
The most impressive signature in the
collection is that OF President Roosevelt.
With the date appended, 1902, 1t stretches
fifteen inches across a light gray strip Of
ribbon. Abram s. Hewitt's autograph Is
on a square Of bronze silk and is dated May
"a, 1902. Other autographs in the quilt,
only a few Of the boldest Of which are
worked over in colored thread, are those Of
Seth Low, George Francis Train. Clara
Morris, Mark Twain, Henry Irving. Ellen
Terry, Sir THOMAS Upton, Aunt Louisa
Eldridge, the Rev. DR.. Houghton
of the Little Church Around the
Corner, J. H. Stoddart, Edward H%arrigan,
Pauline Hall, Joe jefferson and almost every
member OF his family, Kate Claxton, Gen.
Booth OF the Salvation Army, Villa
Travers jerome, Mrs. Gilbert, John Wanna
maker, Tony Past or, President Nicholas
Murray Butler OF Columbia University,
Admiral Dewey, David Belasoo, Charles
Frohman and E. s. Willard. Bishop Henry
c.. Potter's name appears twice on one rib
bon. He wrote II in ink and blotted his
first effort. Then he tried again, making a
fla wless signature.
Mrs. Butler began to collect the auto
graphs four years ago. She expended Sl2
In postage stamps and much money in rib
bons. All to whom she sent the ribbons
were asked to sign in pencil. Most did, but
some used ink. She retraoed all the pencil
signatures in ink, It was her intention
originally to work over the signatures
in oolored silk thread but she found that few
were bold enough to permit her to do II with
faithfulness 10 the originals, and 30 she let
them stand as written, retracing the PEN
cilled ones in ink

spend $4,000 in changing the Broad
way front, and in putting in new mail
boxes, a hardwood finish and few
minor things.
Congressman Ollie James has pre-
pared the bill and will introduce il one
day this week. II is believed that If
any appropriations at all are made at
this session Of congress. the one for
these changes 10 the government
building will be, particularly as the
supervising architect, in a way, has
fully approved it. II is not certain
however. that any appropriations viii
be made. The sentiment seems TO b.
against making any at this session.
