MAN, mere man, rules the furniture
lvA and the arrangement of things in
the White House. In this instance, the
mere man is Col. Charles S. Bromwell.
He is young engineer so youthful in
appearance that the silver eagle on
his shoulder straps, indicating the
rank of colonel, certainly looks like a
stray bird. He is a colonel only while
he is in charge of the White House.
Being an engineer, 1t would be i'm
possible for Bromwell to have the
Japanese vases in the wide entrance
hall of the White House set more than
sixteenth OF an inch out Of line. 1t
would also be impossible for him to
have a mirror hung at an angle never
before known in the White House.
Congress in failing to provide for
any new furniture or anything else
new this year remembered that it is
the custom when there is a new first
lady Of the land in the White House
for all the authorities to bow low and
ask her pleasure in regard to things.
Mrs. Roosevelt chose the present un-
pleasing blue of the blue room to re-
place the delicate baby blue brocade

w for Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the
president. She, OF all beloved wives
In the land whose husbands have an
income more than sufficient to afford
a bare living, is most to be pitied.
Every other such wife in the land has
added something to the house since
returning from her summer spent
away from home. There is probably
not another woman In the land who
has not added at least one piece of
furniture, had room papered, bought
new curtains for at least one room,
added rug TO the children's bedroom
or has done something of that kind.
But Mrs. Roosevelt has no addition to
boast of.
When she got back to the White
House not long ago she found every
thing just as 1t was when she went
away. Some painting had been done
inside and out, bit that is all. 1t
might just as well not have been
done, because the Lew paint is just

Changes Likely by Coming New Mistress

on the walls Of that apartment during
the Mckinley administration. She also
selected furniture less ornate than the
Louie XVI of the Mckinley regime.
Col. Bromwell in submitting his es-
innate this year for the probable cost
of maintenance and renewals at the
White House during the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1910, set the figure at
$4,000, or $4,000 more than the cur
rent fiscal year.
That means that $4,000 will be at
the disposal Of the new mistress next
summer. Inasmuch as the appropria-
ton bil!s for the year beginning on
July l must all be passed before
March 4, mere nod from the new
first lady OF the land, II she has any
particular idea Of how things should
be done, Will be sufficient to get more
money for her, even II her husband
has not bern indicted into Office.
With $4,000 TO start with, the new
first lady will be able to get new
dishes II she Goes not like the kind
used by the Roosevelt family, and
probably have the wall coverings in
several of the rooms changed. In a
pinch it might be frade to cover the
cost Of few bits of furniture to take
the place of the ugly stun in the east
room.
During the first year CT new fam
lily in the White House the cost of
new furniture and maintenance runs
up to about $1,000 q week.

FOREST FIRES BREAK OUT.
Raging In Northern Michigan with
Renewed Fury.

Detroit, Mich.-Specials to the Free
Press from many points through
northern Michigan show that forest
fires have broken out again with re-
newed fury. From Millersburg in
Presque Isle county comes word that
the town of Metz was wiped out by
fire Thursday afternoon. with losses
aggregating nearly $4,000. Telegraph
ic communication with Millersburg
was broken in the middle of the dis
patch.
From Cheboygan comes a report
that the huge accumulation Of sawdust
there known as the "Sawdust noun
tain" is on fire. Morris Fitzgerald, a
farmer near Cheboygan, lost farm
buildings worth $4,000.
Near Glad win the home of Rev.
Henry Wicke was burned Thursday,

the laundry business is controlled, and
have made threats to establishments

members Of the exchange IL they con-
tinued to sell their goods to the com.
plainant.
For many months the laundries o.
the national capital have attracted the
attention of the official element in the
city. Dinners seven nights week
have made great demand on immac-
ulate dress shirts, not to speak Of the
other accessories of a statesman's
wardrobe. Last winter a Pennsyl.
vania congressman introduced bill
making 1t a penal offense or some
thing of that kind to tear shirts, ETC.,

combination has been formed among
the local laundry concerns Of Washing

out Of business all competing estab-

production OF 92,535 tons for each

death rate, heading the roll OF honor
with .95 and 499.742 tons OF coal

947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions and 201
deaths and 416 injuries were caused by

due to the falling of mine roofs and
coal. Such disasters caused 1922
deaths and 2,141 injuries.

the financial obligations of Bulgaria
toward Turkey. New clauses prob

that the powers shall take note Of the

turn of the sanjak Of Novipazar to
Turkey.
Article 4 relates to Crete. 1t re-
places article % OF the treaty OF
Berlin by clauses recognizing the an
nexation of Crete to Greece, and de-
termining the financial obligations of
Greece in respect to Crete, toward
Turkey.
The remaining articles deal with the
Armenian provinces of Turkey, Mon
tenegro and the Danube river.
