~ WASHINGTON will become the
wv handsOmest city in the world
w If all the plans for its ar
tiStic establishment are car
ried out These plans embrace a great
variety Of improvements and involve
the expenditure of large sums of mon
ey. In the meantime projects increase
for the erection Of memorials In honor
Of heroes and statesmen One of the
congress early in the next session will
be a proposition to provide suitable
statue of George Washington for the
east front Of the capitol. in view of the
removal from the plaza to the Smith
sonian institution of the much ridi-
culed GreenOugh statue, representing
the Father Of His Country in the scant
and unnatural attire of a Roman SEN
ator. Representative Mccall of Massa-
chusetts, chairman Of the house COM
mittee on the library, introduced in the
last congress bill providing for
replica of the }. Q. A. Ward statue of
Washington which stands in front Of
the subtreasury building in Wall street,
New York, and is one of the best
sculptural portrayals of the first presi-
dent In existence He proposes to
place this replica on the staircase on
the east front Of the capitol, so that
presidents in delivering their inau-
gural addresses will stand at the feet
Of the great man who first sat in the
presidential chair. Some members of
the senate and house take the view,
however, that the country could afford
to provide q new statue instead of
replica for this important place. Those
who advance this idea hold that Presi-
dent Washington should be represent
ed in such a statue as delivering his
inaugural address. With the removal

while one wept bitterly for a
time and said she feared to meet
her father.
They gave their names as fol-
lows: Alleen Smith, Hattie
Traugott, jamie Parker, Lexing-
ton /; Margaret Duncan, Brannon,
KY. Miss Smith, who seemed to
be the leader of the party, said
they concluded to see some of
the world, and so decided to run
away from home.
A telephone message from
Lexington about Z p. m. instruct
ed the officers to hold the runa-
ways until the father of the
Smith girl arrived in an automo-
bile. Meantime the girls got gay
and made merry on the streets
for an hour or two, keeping the
officers busy, watching them.
The auto did not reach here
until after 2 a. M, and then the
occupants lost their bearings. for
they passed the hotel at a rapid
rate. But in a few moments
they came back to find that only
two of the girls were at the no.
tel, Miss Smith and another one
having disappeared. The dis
tracted father then directed the
chauffeur to return to Lexing-
ton with the two girls, while he,
a Lexington detective and the
officials here instituted a search
for his daughter and her com
panion.
They were discovered about
daylight in a hollow near the
railroad track and brought back
to the hotel. The party left on
the morning train for Lexington.
1t was alleged that Miss Smith
''swiped" a roll of bills from her
father and paid all expenses.
The runaways first went to Mich
olasville, telephoned for an an
automobile and were taken to
Creendale, where they boarded
the train.
One girl said she was going to
Cincinnati to get a position in a
department store another said
she left home on account of the
"big stick" discipline of her par
ents, while another said she ran
away to have good time. But
all were glad of the chance to
get back home, and it is not
likely they will try the expert
ment of leaving "mammy's apron

White House Families.


There have been times in
American history when an advo-
cate of large families could not
have cited the household of the
White House as an example, for
small families have been the rule
in the White House, and the
census taker in more than one
administration would have been
obliged to report mo fami-
ly."
Yet only two bachelors have
been elected to the Presidency,
and one of these, Grover Cleve-
land, changed his condition by
marrying before completing his
first term. James Buchanan in
his youth was party to a roman
tic love affair, and after the
death of the young lady he ap-
pears never to have thought of
marrying.
It has been said that few Pres
idents had what President Roose-
welt would call large families.
William Henry Harrison had the
largest; he was the father of six
sons and four daughters. H e
was the oldest man ever elected
to the Presidency. Hays and
Garfield had the next largest
families; in the Hays family were
born eight children, and in the
Garfield family seven, a large
number in each case growing to
maturity.
President Garfield had fou r
children, three sons and one
daughter, and one of these sons,
Friedrich D. Grant, is a Major
General in the army. Abraham
Lincoln, had four sons, Robert
Todd Lincoln, who became Sec
rotary of War under Presidents,
Garfield and Arthur, alone sur
viving to maturity. President
Johnston had two daughters,
Martha and Mary, Martha pre-
siding over the White House
during the illness of her invalid
mother.
President Arthur was a wido-
wer, and his sister presided over
the White House. He had two
children living, but his first child,
a son, died in infancy. Presi-
dent Van Buren, also was a wido-
wer. He had five sons, two of
whom were Abraham, whose
wife presided over the White
House. and John, who was known
as Prince john" President
Taylor had a son and two daugh-
tiers, of whom one married JEFF
ferson Davis.
President Pierce had three sons,
two of whom died in infancy,
and the child, a boy of thirteen,
was killed in the presence of his
parents in a railroad accident
two months before his fathers
Inauguration as President. Pres
ident John Adams had a daugh-
ter and three sons, President
Monroe had two daughters, and
John Quincy Adams had several
children, two of whom died in
infancy. President McKinley's
two daughters died while very
young. Boston Globe.

Vengeance.

Indianapolis, Aug. q. When
it was definitely learned here to-
day that Claude Andrews, a
cousin of Jesse Coe, who was
killed by Sheriff, ]. E. Bryant,
of Monroe county, KY, and his
body brought to this city for
Identification and reward, was
party to the killing of Coe and
had received $500 of the 81, 500
reward, the negroes on the West
Side became very much excited
and on several occasions the
police were compelled to employ
threats to prevent trouble in the
crowds that gathered about the
morgue where Goes body lay.
The excitement increased when
Goes sister called and identified
the body and asked the privilege
of giving it burial.
In the crowds of negroes that
gathered on the streets and dis
cussed the killing of Coe and the
events leading to it there were
many angry expressions against
Andrews and not a few covert
threats and suggestions that he
ought to be killed. The police
thought Andrews discreet enough
to keep out of the way of trouble.
but late in the evening he went
to visit a relative at Nora street
and Senate avenue, right in the
heart of the negro settlements.
His presence in the house be-
came known Immediately and
negros began to gather from all
directions. Andrews was a
prisoner in the house for a few
moments and the mob was on the
point of forcing the doors when
Patrolman Morgan arrived on
the scene. So excited was the
mob that he could do nothing
with it's members and he tele-
phoned for help. Two other
patrolmen reached the scene in
time to prevent an assault on the
house and Andrews was taken to
the police station for protection.
The members of the mob follow
ed at a short distance, breathing
vengeance, but other arrivals of
officers saved Andrews from the
vengeance of his race.
The negroes say he cannot re-
main in this city and if they
find him outside the protection
of the police they will kill him.
They do not seem so much to
resent the killing of Coe as they
do the fact that Andrews got
money for his part in it
Andrews accompanied Sheriff
J. E. Bryant and his deputy,
Granger Conkin, to Indianapolis
with the body Of Coe. The party
arrived shortly after II o'clock
last night, and more than L.
600 persons were waiting at
police headquarters to see the
body. The body of the dead
negro was positively identified by
several persons who had been
summoned to the police depart
ment. The body Of the murder
er in a coffin was seen by thous-
ands of people to day. They
passed at the rate of ninety a
minute for several hours begin
ming at 8 o'clock this morning.
