General Arthur Felt Little Satisfac
ton in Occupying the White
House Because His Loved
HeIpmate was Gone.

When Chester A Arthur became
president of the United States his
first official residence was in the
Washington house of Senator John P.
Jones of Nevada. This was due to
the fact that the White House had
to undergo a long period of renova-
ton following President Garfeld's re-
moval thence to the seashore, and it
was not until late in the autumn of
1881 that General Arthur was able to
take up his residence in the nations
home for its presidents. In the mean
time he was provided with suitable
roof through the thoughtfulness and
hospitality of Senator Jones,
II know that it was with 10 feeling
Of pride or exultation that Chester A.
Arthur finally entered the White
House as president" said General
Howard Carroll, former member OF
congress from New York City and for
years one of General Arthur's init
mate personal and political friends.
He was bowed down with regret over
the Garfield tragedy, for one thing;
and then, Notwithstanding his polid-
cal activity, he was lonely man. His
little daughter was sway at school,
his son was at college, aud his wife
had been dead several years when he
was elected vice president.
General Arthur and his wife had
been much attached to each other;
their domestic relations were ideal.
Mrs. Arthur was beautiful woman OF
many mplishments, and she and
her husband had many tastes in COM
mon. Both were fond of music; Mrs.
Arthur had very charming and high
ly cultivated voice, which, had she
chosen a professional career for her
self, probably would have brought her
considerable fame. And both were
very fond of literature. Although the
public did not know it, President Ar
thur was Of scholarly attachments. He
was a constant reader of the classics,
he spoke German very well, and he
read that language with facility.
Zone morning about a week after
the president had moved into the
White House I had occasion to call
there. AS I was compelled to leave
for New YORK on mid-forenoon train,
timed my call so as to reach the
White House just after the president
had finished breakfast. But when
asked for him his valet, Powell, told
me that the president was dressing
therefore sent word that I would
wait until he could receive me, but in
a few moments I was asked to go to
the presidents dressing room, and
there we conversed about the business
House.
While the talk was going on
noted the appropriate manner in
