MAN, mere man, rules the furniture
lV1 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
stray bird. He is colonel only while
he is in charge of the White House.
Being an engineer, it would be i'm
possible for Bromwell to have the
Japanese vases in the wide entrance
hall of the White House set more than
a 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.

Many Disasters in Coal Mining Industry

with death rate of 70 per 1000 and
a production of 92,535 tons for each
life lost Missouri had the lowest
death rate. heading the roll Of honor
with .95 and 499.742 tom of coal
mined for each life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions and col
deaths and 416 injuries were caused by
powder explosions.
The chief cause of death among
the miners, the report explains, was
due to the falling of mine roofs and
coal. Such disasters caused 1,122
deaths and 2.141 injuries.
L. w. Parker, chief statistician of
the survey, asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of congress
in appropriating $3.50 900 to investi-
gate mine disasters. He says one Of
the greatest needs of the coal-mining
industry is the enforcement of mill.

WOMAN IS STEWARD
MISS BOYLE HOLDS POST IN NEW
YORK HOTEL.

Hand of Proprietor.

New York.-The only woman In
New York who is steward of biS
hotel is Isabel Boyle of the Hoffmah
house, and so capable has she proven
herself during her five years of stew
ardship that she has become the righ'
hand Of tho proprietor.
Mr.. Caddagan, the manager OF ths
Hoffman house, claims that having
woman steward is his own idea, and
the discovery of this particular woman
is his also.
Mr.. Caddagan's sisters were sent to
convent in Virginia to complete their
education and there as FELLOWSHIP
dent they met Miss Isabel Boyle, with
whom they became warm friends,
When they left the convent in Vir-
ginia the Misses Caddagan invited
Miss Boyle 20 visit them in their
northern home. This in due time she
did, but her family had got into finan-
cial difficulties and the girl was
anxious to cave out her own way IN
the world, SO she asked her friends to
help her to fir d n position. Mr. Cad
dagan. who happened to need an as
sistant steward, asked her If she
would like to take the position. She
accepted, and this was the beginning
of her career.
The writer, calling on Miss Boyle st
the hotel recently, found her the cen
ter of an interested group gathered
around the weighing scales just OUT
side the Office door. Miss Boyle called

Capital Laundry War Is Taken to Court

ness of the Model Laundry Company
they have attempted, and in some in
stances have succeeded, in employing
drivers of the Model Laundry Com
pany, through whom a greater part OF
the laundry business is controlled, and
have made threats to establishments
selling laundry supplies that they
would be boycotted in the future by
members of the exchange if they con-
tinued to sell their goods to the com
p!ainant.
For many months the laundries Of
the national capital have attracted the
attention of the official element in the
city. Dinners seven nights a week
have made a 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 a bill
making it a penal offense or some
thing of that kind to tear shirts, etc,
in the wash. This is the first time
the laundrymen have sought the fame
of the railroads. and the Standard Oil
Company in joining the trust magnate
class.

A CCIDENTS in coal mines of the
n United States during the last cal
endar year resulted in the death of
3l25 men and injury to 5,314 more,
according to statistics made public
by the geological survey.
The death record among the coal
miners during the year was greater
by 1888 than in 1906, and is said to
have been the worst year in the his
tory of the c,~lmining industry.
The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as reports
were not received from some states
having NO mine inspectors
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 19O7-1?.35 per 1000 en-
ployes, and this state also showed the
lowest production for each life lost

Col. Cromwell in submitting his es-

of maintenance and renewals at the
White House during the fiscal year
ending June so, 1910 set the figure at
$4,000, or $4,000 more than the cur

That means that $4,000 will be at
the disposal of the new mistress next
summer. 1nasmuch as the appropria-

March 4, mere nod from the new
first lady of the land, if she has any

money for her, even if her husband
has not been indicted into office.
With $4,000 to start with, the new
first lady will be able to get new
dishes If she does not like the kind
used by the Roosevelt family, and
probably have the wall coverings in

The bastile was the prison in which
French kings confined political prison

were sent to this prison to avenge
personal grievances of attaches of the
kings, who issued letters de cachet'

cause Of the arrest was nowhere re-

make any allowance for new furniture,

new things.
