There Is suspicion around tho

an interest in the appointment OF the

The Presidents friendship for Major
Charles d, Elliott has frequently been
spoken OF during the past few weeks
and It Is known that several West
Virginians were In favor OF the re-
appointment of Elliot as marshal.

the two senator's. II the stories or
friendship are true the President was
In somewhat OF an embarrassing posi-

that he was relieved by the appoint

there was some expression from the
President relative to the appointment

HUBBARD WILL NOT
TRY FOR OLD SEAT
Predicted That He Win Withdraw
From Congressional Contest
For Seat in House.

Wheeling. W. v, Jan. 6.-There
Is every indication that Congressman
William P. Hubbard, whose senatorial
candidacy was announced unofficially
Task week, will withdraw from the race
for congress and devote himself en-
tirely TO attempt to GUST Nathan b.
Scott from his cozy corner in the
upper house.
1t was given out by Hubbard 5
friends that there would be a direct
announcement from the congressman
early this week, both regarding his
senatorial entry and as to whether or
not he ill remain candidate to sue.
coed himself in the popular branch of
the national legislature. A statement
along national legislature. 6re-oceatia
along neither line has been forth
coming, and it is now learned that the
congressman will have a conference
with some of his leading supporters in
the course of fortnight, when his
course regarding the congressional
contest will be determined. In the
meantime It is predicted that Hubbard
will withdraw, and that his friends
will unite upon some suitable man
whom they will back for congress.
This candidate for the congressional
nomination, 1t is entimated will be
Judge Charles W. Lynch, of Clarks-
burg. In this connection, the fact that
Congressman Hubbard spent yester-
day at Clarksburg and Fairmont may
have had significance. Dispatches from
the two cities stated that the congress
man conferred with his leading sup
porters In Marion and Harrison coun-
ties, but that great reticence was dis
played, and nothing could be ascer-
tanned as to what mater were discuss
ed.
State Senator Robert Hazlett, Of
this city, who has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the Re
liean congressional nomination, when
seen last night, declined to commit
himself as to his political intentions.
He has been mentioned as probable
candidate for congress since the entry
of Mr.. Hubbard into the senatorial
fray, most of the Hazlett boosting be-
ing at the hands of supporters OF Sen
ator Scott. Several leading politicians
have importuned the Wheelingite to
become candidate, but thus far he
has not arrived at decision. Under
discouraging conditions Hazlett made
game fight against Hubbard two
years ago, and with the situation now
greatly improved from his point OF
view, it is assured he would be much
more formidable in the 1910 battle.

OF THE
WHITE HOUSE
Cost is Small Vixen Compared 70
Keeping Up Residences of the
Rulers of Europe.

The entire expense of the White
House, including the salary of the
President and cost of clerical and
office assistance, is little more than
the sum allotted by the Hollanders
to Queen Wilhelmina, and is certain.
ly not an extravagant ratio of ex-
penditure. contrasting the proper
tions of the two countries.
The total appropriation for this
year, for telephone service, automo-
biles, housekeeping, care of conserv-
atory and greenhouse, printing, light
ing and the multifarious tribes nee
essary to keep up such an establish
ment is 1927 ,255, the lowest sum ex-
pended in the maintenance of the
White House since 1904, except dur
ing the last two years of the Roosa-
Welt administration. when a record
was made by keeping down expenses
to about 100000 each year. With
the exception of these two years the
expenses have been highest, chiefly
owing to appropriations for repairs
and additions, which vary from year
to year The highest executive ex-
penditures are about one-tenth OF

FEAST OF PURlFICATION
CELEBRATED BY CHURCHES

Today is being observed in all of the
Roman Catholic churches as Candlemas
Day, thus calleo from the custom of
blessing candles brought to the church
by the people. 1t is called the Feast of
Publication.
According to the law of Moses a
ON who brought forth a male child
was separated from the rest, and to re-
main for forty days as in a retreat, and
then go to the tabernacle or temple and
offer q sacrifice for her ~purification,
The sacrifice was a lamb, to be wholly
consumed with fire. and a turtle dove
and a pigeon as sacrifices for sin.
Among the lowly and the poor in that
day came the lowest and poorest. Jesus,
carried by His mother to the temple, be-
cause for mankind He became poor and
was born in a stable. He came to the
temple to show that He was obedient to
the law of Moses. He did that to give
us an example to be obedient TO all
laws which are just.
Among those in the temple was Sim
con. who said to Mary, Behold. this
child is set for the fall and for the res
direction of many in Israel, and for a
sign which will be contradicted. And
thy own soul a sword shall pierce
for telling the sorrows of Mary when
p%artaklng of the sufferings OF her Son.

THE GREAT SKIN CURE"

my baby boy was about nine
months old when he had a breaking out
on his neck which was very nnoy-
ing. 1t used to make him very fretful
and cross because it seemed to worry
him SO much. In the meantime | was
sick myself. | had my doctor look at
the baby and he told me it was eczema
and he wanted to treat it. But a friend
OF mine told me she knew it could be
cured cheaper than any doctor could do
1t for and in much less time. So /
started using the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment which ! soon found
out was what / ought to have had be-
fore, fort the eczema seemed to itch SO the
baby could not keep his head still for he
was rubbing and twisting all the time.
I used the Cuticura Remedies about
three times the first day and began to
notice the good it was doing, for he
began to get rest from rubbing his neck.
80 I used three cakes of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes of Cutioura ONT

WIDOW ASKS WORK TO
WARD OFF STARVATION.
Woman and Children Are in Pit
iful Plight.

Alone with her two children and
facing the difficulties of a widow in a
strange country who is forced to pro-
vide for herself and family, Mrs. Marie
Lupschy, the tenan of an attic at 632
South Twentieth street. whence she had
been driven by poverty, this morning
called at the editorial rooms of the
EVENING STAR and asked that the
public be made familiar with her case
and that she be given an opportunity
to ply her talents as a skilled dress
maker.
Coming to this country from Austria
five years ago with her husband, she
looked forward to a bright future in
the new country, and from her sur
%roundings of comfort and happiness she
little guessed what lay in store. The
father of her children was a decorator
and painter, and had a home and bust
ness at 632 South Twentieth street. In
October last, while at his work, he fell
from a scaffold, receiving injuries
which caused his death a month after
wards.
The removal of the head of the
family brought about a great change
in the condition of the comely widow
and her children, little being left to
them for future provision and bitter
poverty has faced them until at last.
through the good offices of an ac-
q%uaintance she was advised 10 come to
the office of the EVENING STAR.
Almost without food they hardly
know how they have existed during
the last few days, and the faces of the
children show traces of what they have
gone through lately.
Coming of u respectable Austrian
family. Mrs. Lupschy has a pleasant
face and gentle manner. while the
children, to whom she is devoted, are
pretty and exceptionally bright. Frieda.
the eldest, is but "a years old. and the
younger. Adelheid. is but ID months
old.
The unfortunate widow is a skilled
dressmaker and would welcome any
work she might be given in this line.
Owing to the extreme youth of the
children she has been unable to leave
them at home. but arrangements will
be made to rave them placed in a day
nursery each day so as to permit of
her earning her living. She can be
found at 632 South Twentieth street.
where size occupies the garnet of what
was once her own happy and promising
home.
