BY its brilllancy and Importance, the
silver wedding of President and Mrs.
Taft, celebrated last night with such
eclat at the White House, recalls the
greatest of old-time social celebrations,
in which marriage and wedding ami
versaries have been the center of inter-
est at the official home of other Chief
Executives.
The wedding on February II, 1906, Of
Miss Alice Roosevelt to Representative
Nicholas Longworth, OF Cincinnati, Ohio,
was the twelfth wedding that had taken
place at the White House. 1t was a
tremendous affair socially, all the nota-
BILE personages in Washington and
throughout the country being invited.
The ceremony was performed in the
East Room.
Another great social event during Pres
ident Roosevelt's occupancy of the White
House was the dinner given in honor OF
Prince Henry of Prussia.

is that of Grover Cleveland, who was
married there to Miss Frances Folsom

1898, during CIeveland's second term. that
little Esther came, the first child of
President born in the White House.
Another silver wedding celebrated at
the White House was that of President
and Mrs. Hayes, in 1877, and the follow
ing year, the Presidents niece, Miss
Emily Platt, was married in the Blue
Room, to Gen. Hastings. This was the
seventh marriage celebrated in the White
House.
Nellie Grant, daughter OF President
Grant, was married in the White House
to Algernon Sartoris, young English
man. Col. Fred Grant married a sister
Of Mrs. Potter Palmer, Of Chicago, and
his first child, a daughter, now the
Princess Cantacuzene, Of Russia, was
born in the White House.
During the Buchanan administration,
which was one of the most brilliant, So
cially, in the annals Of the White House,
two events Of international Importance
took place, both in 1850 The first was
the reception in the East Room to the
Japanese Embassy, who came to the
United states to ratify the treaty be-
tween this country and Japan, and the
second was the visit to the White House
of the Prince Of Wales. Harriet Lane,
the favorite niece of James Buchanan,
the bachelor President, went to bowling
alley with the prince and beat him at
the game.

of the White House, Jenny Lind, Thack-
cray, and Kossuth were entertained

also present.
About a year after Martin Van Bu-
ren's Inauguration his eldest son and
private secretary, Abraham, married An
gelica Singleton, of South Carolina, who
presided in the White House with grace
and simplicity.
John Adams, son of John Quincy Ad-
ans, was married in the White House to
his cousin, Mary HELEN, of this city, and
1t is related that his distinguished father
relaxed his dignity enough to dance a
Virginia reel and to caper about in honor
of the nuptiaI occasion. This was the
third White House wedding. In 1899 the
second White House baby was born
Mary Louise Adams, daughter of the
Presidents son, John.

and gloves. He held receptions once a
week and dined a large company once
or twice a week.
Jefferson, who succeeded Adams moved
into the White House from a nearby
boarding house He abolished all cere-
monial rules; foreign titles were not rec
ognized at social functions; a duke or
a prince was the recipient Of no greater
honors than was plain American citizen.
Washington was a great stickler for
forms and ceremonies and he set pre-
cedent in regard TO punctilious etiquette
which was more or less adhered to IN
succeeding administrations.

WOndrOuS Beauty
of White House
Electric Display
Admired by All

President Taft's silver wedding an
niversary electrical decorations at the
White House and throughout the
White House grounds last night
brought forth from the thousands OF
guests expressions of delighted amaze
ment and praises Of the highest char
acter.
The fact that this splendid electrical
illumination, with the marveIously
beautiful decorative effects, was de-
signed by a young washingtonian, Mil
ton Mantz, manager of the Electric
Construction Company Of this city, con-
tractors for the White House electrical
decorations, added to the interest in the
glorious display.
The large waving American flag,
aglow with red, white, and blue cleo
trio lights, which was over the Presi-
dents portico, was one of the most
beautiful features Of the decoration.
Myriads Of gorgeousIy colored elec-
trio lights amid the shrubbery and
trees, giving them the appearance OF
being studded with brilliant and vari-
colored jewels. and the outlines of the
balustrades, terraces, and tennis court,
win S4eClElC uBnIS, as Wen as the leS-
looming of the entire south front OF the
White House, gave 1t and the grounds
gala appearance never before equaled
in any social event there.
The arch on the lawn, where thu
President and Mrs. Taft received their
guests. had emblazoned in high candle
power electric lights "1SS6-Is1l," and
proved an added beauty to the fairy
like scene.
The Electric Construction Company,
whose Offices are at 1411 New York ave-
nue. northwest, under the management
of Milton Mantz, has a national reputa-
ltion for electrical display decorative
work, and are prepared to do such work
for any and all occasions. anywhere In
the country.
Among famous events the electricai
work of which they did may be men

Jubilee at Atlantic City, 1905; all
OF the private electric displays at the
willard, Saks & Co. S. Kann, Sons &
Co.'S, the Riggs Nationals Bank. and

guration.

Senator Luke Lea Gives Blood
Through Tube In Arm.
The condition Of Senator Luke Lea and
his wife. who are in Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital, the former suffering from
the effects OF the TRANSMISSION of his blood
and the latter from a serious operation
performer last Saturday. were reported
doing well last night.
Early Sunday 1t was seen that unless
blood could be transfused into Mrs. Lea
system her case was hopeless. Senator
Lea was informed of her condition, and
on Sunday afternoon physicians opened
an artery In Senator Lea's arm, a tube
was inserted In a vein in his wife's arm,
and the TRANSMISSION performed. The ply
sician took more than a quart IF blood
from Senator LEAFS body, and, in q very
weakened condition, he was put to red
IN a room near that occupied by his
wife.
Senator Lea also showed a great i'm
provement yesterday, but it probably will
be week before he has enough strength
to leave the hospital His wife probably
will be at the hospital for four weeks.
