when Madison himself became President.
there was no change in the social com

The house IN question was built by
Mrs MadisOn's cousin. Richard Cults
during NadiSOn's administration. and was
considered one Of the finest IN the city.

property. the building was enlarged but

When Dolly lived at this place. she vas
seemingly without political Importance.
for her husband was dead and she was
far from wealthy. but so strong was her
personality that she held sway over So
eiety, and her levees on New Year and
Independence Day were equally brilliant
with IN affairs at the White House She
had the distinction OF a seat on the floor
Of the Senate. and the ranking power
was also given her BY her admirers in
Congress.
There are hundreds OF stories narrated
OF this clever woman. and some peopls
who knew and loved her are stiU dwell
ers Of Washington. One OF them saws
that Mrs. Madison alnost. always carried
a book in her hand, when meeting a
visitor, and II the talk descended Into
gossip, Mrs. Madison would quietly COM

change the current Of talk She was asked

Mrs. Madison was as good-natured as
she was clever, and when her little
friends came 70 see her. she would let
them dress her up IN some OF the clothes
she had worn on this or that state occa-
sion. She had a particularly gorgeous
velvet dress, Of crimson. sent her by a

his grave twice sixteen years befors the
money was really voted by Congress for
the purpose. ana two States had erected
statues Of him before his country as a
whole took up the matter.
The Wandering Jew OF a statue called
'Greenough's Washington" whose most
recent change OF base Is still commented
upon, was the outcome Of the resolution
on the part OF Congress. IN 1892, 10 au-
thOrize the President 20 commission the
Massachusetts sculptor 10 execute a full
length pedestrian statue IN marble OF
Washington. TO be placed IN the rotunda
Of the Capitol
The work was begun on this statue in
Florence, and eight years were consumed
before Il was ready for its journey 70 the
United States Then how 70 get il home
was the next puzzle. Commander Hull was
ordered 10 take II aboard his frigate, at
LeEhcTn. but found the matches too small
10 receive il into the hold. as the statue
weighed about twenty tons. so he refused
point blank 10 attempt the passage. Be
tween CarTaTa and Florence, the ser
vices Of eleven yoke OF cattle and fifteen
men had been required for transportation,
and the journey cost S2S2 After many
efforts, the white elephant. which Il had
already become, was landed et the Navy
Yard, and though the distance 10 the
rotunda is but a mile. 1t cost $5o0o before
Il was In place. Doors had TO be enlarged
and column Of masonry built below 20
support 81. and then It gave such uni
veTsal dissatisfaction that, within year,
Il was ordered removed 10 the plaza
without, and the doors had once more to
be altered.
CT al the adverse criticism heaped upon
the efigy Of the father Of his country, the
comments OF Henry A. Wise, OF John
Brown fame. makes the most interesting
reading. Gov. Wise was particularly
caustic over the attitude Of holding up
the heavens with one hand, with Jcve-
ike grace. the while Washington gra-
ciously surrendered his sword with the
other"
Greenough must have been astolished at
the reception accorded his work, for that
he had admired Il. greatly Is shown IN
q rather naive letter to Daniel Webster
on the subject; he says: 1T is the birth
Of my thought: I have sacrificed the
flower and freshness Of my youth and the
freshness OF my strength; its every line
ment has been moistened with the sweat
Of my toll and the tears OF my exile"

TOURISTS WRITE FROM
STATES PRAIS|NG HAWAII

Ieno X. Meyers has adopted unique
and apparently excellent plan of secur-
ing testimonials for the Islands from
people of prominence who have visited
here. He is asking people who come
as tourists to write their Impressions
of the Islands. The following letter
in reply to one he mailed to the States
was presented to the Hawaii Promotion
Committee at its meeting yesterday:
Los Angeles, Cal, April 8, 1909.
Mr.. Ieno X. Myers, Honolulu, Ii. I.
Dear Mr. Myers:-Both Mrs. Briggs
and myself arrived safely in Los An
geles after very pleasant return
voyage. We Were very favorably i'm
pressed with our trip and cannot say
too much for the Hawaiian Islands and
Honolulu in particular
We were much impressed with your
hustling city and the hospitality and
kindness of your people.
One of the things that impressed me
most favorably as worthy of great
praise, was the excellent condition of
your city streets and the highways of
the island.
We will most certainly advise all flu
ture voyageurs to take their automo-
biles with them and enjoy the delightful
rides that these roads ensure.
With kindest regards, ] remain,
Yours very truly,
