Aside from this visit the day was
marked by no special observance.
There were family congratulations and
presents, and the president attended
Grace Dutch Reformed church as is
his custom. Returning from church,
he spent an hour in the White House
office, and in the afternoon took a
long walk into the suburbs of Wash
ington, on which he was accompanied
by Secretary Root.
Although 49 years old, President
Roosevelt, after six years as the head
of the nation, is only two years older
than President Grant when he took
the oath; year older than President
Cleveland and the same age as Presi-
deut Pierce. He is still a much
younger man than were his predeces-
sofs when they assumed office-McKin-
ley at "a, Lincoln at So, Tyler and Ar
thur at 81 and Polk and Garfield at SO.

STRICT RULES FOR VISITS
In WASHINGTON SOCIETY

IXy ASHINGTON.-Just at present

there is an air of expectancy and
enough people are in the city and
more are returning every day to keep
up the interest.
Houses and visiting lists are being
'overhauled, as visiting is the Joy as
we'll as the bette noir of the Washing

an exacting public.
There is a regular etiquette in re-

In this supposedly most democratic
of cities.
The judges of the supreme court
must be called on by the cabinet, SEN
ators and representatives first. Then
the members of the cabinet call on
one another and on the senators and
house members. The senators make
their supreme court and cabinet Wis

a senator's wife whose husband has
been in Office six years cannot demean
herself by calling first on the wife of

sick from the different vessels on the
way, and some from the South Allan
tic squadron, until we had about 900,
some of them severely sick with
fever and others badly wounded, the
object being to transport them north
to Memphis and Mound City. After
we had got most of our supplies on

gave two of my assistants money to
go out in the city and purchase ten
dozen, as that amount would do us
until we would get up to Vicksburg,
supposing they would cost $3.50 to
three dollars per dozen. In a few
hours they came back, and reported
they could not get them for less than
$12 per dozen, supposing l would not
be willing to pay that, which was cor
rect. Then l went along, and met
with the same demands at several
places, which very positively refused
to pay. One groceryman would let
me hsTe thSm for ten dollars per
,-ozen in confederate currency, but
would have s12 per dozen in them

Benjamin Butler. He had helped me
several times, and / made a state
ment of my trouble to him, and he
said he did not know whether he could
help me or not, but when he said 1t he
had one of those sly smiles on his
face. However, he gave me a note
to a groceryman, but the best he
would do was eight dollars per dozen.
So gave him $50 for ten dozen of lit.

bantam eggs.
We left New Orleans May 23, and
on arriving at Morganza Bend found

mouth of Red river we had to wait
for more vessels with sick, so we did

one who has only served his country
three years.
The senatorial and congressional
records are called in requisition and
lists made out and the length of time
men have held Office noted. The
house members are not as exacting
and little more license is permitted
them, but still an immense amount Of
form is necessary to steer clear of the
breakers of social political life.
Diplomats are exempt to certain
extent, as after presenting their Gre
dentials to the president they quietly
await the onslaught of visitors. 1t
requires discriminating foreigner or
one who has employed, a secretary
from the very innermost fold of the
fashionable set to tell whom to re-
ceive and whom not and to sift the
shower of cards that descend upon
him, especially If he belongs to the
diplomatic corps.
Washington Is an especially easy
city for outsiders, as they have the
right of way and must call first on all
those who hold an official position.
These visits are returned and thus the
thin edge of the wedge is inserted that
leads to social distinction.

ROOSEVELT CELEBRATES

i brated his forty-ninth birthday a
few Sundays ago. He spent the day,
hs is his custom, attending church in
ahe morning, and spending the after
noon in the open air.
In the afternoon he received COM
,mittee of ten representing the Hun
;garian Republican club of New York,
of which the president is an honorary
member. The custom of the club of
extending its congratulations to Mr..
Roosevelt on his birthday began when
he was governor of New York. He
became a member on his return from
Cuba in 1898, and during his first CAM
,paign for governor of the state of
New York the club took an active
part in New York city. The commit

ROOT-GRANT WEDDING TO
BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR

inclination to go the rounds seems to
prove the point.
1t is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
a first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage is about S125 month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however,
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov
ernment will give him and his wife
three rooms to live in, or if he is away
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of a rich man, is per-
fectly capable of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut.. Grant has an enormously
wealthy aunt, who lives part of the
time in Chicago, but he has no expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
of Grant to take anything If it were
offered. Elihu Roots father was a
college professor, who was earning
about $1,000 year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was boy.
1t isn't at all probable that he will
contribute largely to the household
funds of his future son-in-law. He
doubtless would prefer to let the
young couple go it alone for some time
to come. This wedding promises to be
entirely satisfactory from every i'm
trinsically valuable American view
point.

Italian Shot a Painesville Man.

Schultz, a German stonecutter, was
shot and badly wounded by an Italian
at the Diagonal crossing Sunday night.
Schultz was returning home on the
Lake Shore track when he met
Charles Guanchelo. Schultz inquired
the way home. The Italian told him
he was trespassing on the railroad and
drew a revolver and fired three shots
at Schultz. One shot hit Schultz in
the back. He was taken to the hos
pital and was in a serious condition
Monday. Sheriff Hunter arrested
Guanchelo Monday.

1T probably will be a relief to the
great masses of the people to
know finally and positively that Miss
Edith Root, daughter of the secretary
of state, and Ulysses S. Grant III. are
to have an extremely simple and quiet
wedding at the home of the brides
parents on Rhode Island avenue. The
CHILDREN of the big ones, especially in
Washington, ordinarily have enough
spent on the gewgaws of their we'd
'dings to keep them in household sup
plies for 10 years. The only social
affairs in Washington more costly
than funerals are the weddings.
The daughter of the secretary of
;state is to marry the grandson of a
president and the greatest soldier of
his time, and few people are to be
gathered together to witness the cere-
mony. 1t is fine and an appealing
arrangement. There probably will be
a lot of presents. Neither the bride
nor the groom, it is supposed, can
prevent the flood of gifts which the
prominence of their families will start.
Young Grant is quiet, unassuming
:studious fellow, with a bent of mind
for mathematics, for he graduated
into the army's engineering corps.
The bride is girl of domestic tastes.
She has been comparatively little
known in the swirling circle of Wash.
ington society. 1t is said that she
has good sound sense, and her dis

True, had refused very positively
to pay the confederates S12 dozen
for their eggs. l was doing business
for the government the same as u
would for myself, accounting faithful
ly for every cent and not helping our
enemies. Arriving at our hospital
boat, ordered the firemen to fire up,
and we started up the river. When
we came to Cairo | got on an Illinois
Central train and went to Blooming
ton, Ill. There found man who had
is barrels of fresh eggs packed in oats
for 371a cents per dozen, and when I
said l would pay him the cash and
take all of them he looked at me fair
ly wild, as he supposed 1 only wanted
barrel or two. l ordered them sent
to Mound City, Ill. and when they
came l had small basketful sent
over to Admiral Porter with my COM
pliments and price. On this same trip
up on Sunday, May 30, 1864, we came
to Island No. 35, which belonged to
10 and Jefferson Davis. about 300
acres. 1t was overflowed by the river
when high. We stopped here and let
all go on shore that could be spared
from the sick. We always had eight
of the Sisters of Charity with us as
nurses. They had not been on shore
for some time. At Jeff's residence
Aunt Betty, as they called her, Jeff's
old housemaid, was making a great
fuss about two - rebs, as she
called them, who had just been there
and took Massa Jeffs silverware.
Questioning her which direction they
had gone, she pointed to the upper
end of the island. Taking four men
with me who were armed, we ran to
our boat. and could see them starting
across the river in skiff. We got
down our cutter, and started after
them. AS we came near them they
dropped their oars and took up their
guns. AS we could show five to their
two they went at their oars again.
We pulled by the side of them and
they surrendered. Taking their arms
and oars from them, we towed them
to the hospital boat, and turned the
prisoners over to the captain.
asked him what should be done with
the silverware. He said II was too
small a matter to turn over to the
government; to divide it among our
selves. 1t consisted of one dozen
knives and forks, one dozen table
spoons, one dozen dessert spoons and
one and half dozen teaspoons.
They were white metal, or German
silver, triple-plated. l divided them
into five piles as near as / could,
taking one part and bought the shares
of three others, so / got four-fifths of
them, but the fourth man said his wife
would rather have them than a quar-
ter-section Of land Aunt Betty said
she was with Massa jeff when he
bought them in Paris, France; that
she had made three trips with him
across the ocean, and that he mad
been working up this war for IL
years, and that some of the great men
would come and talk all night with
him in his room at the hotel in Paris.
Aunt Betty we brought away with US
to cook for the fleet surgeon. This
silverware l have yet in fair condition,
! but in order to keep them from the
thieves have to keep it locked in a
safety vault in the city. So you can
see Ben Butler did not get all the
spoons, If he did report me to Ad-
miral Porter.
