WHITE HOUSE GETS BATH
Firemen Clean Executive Man
sion for Taft Homecoming.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct. 24.-For the first
time since the last administration of
President Cleveland the White House
had bath to-day, which was admin
istered by the Washington Fire Depart
ment, as an evidence Of Democratic
economy. The White House owes its
name to the fact that it is kept spot
less white, and has a coat Of paint al
most every year before the President
returns from his summer residence.
During the last Cleveland admin
istration a Democratic Congress con-
ceived the idea that it could economize
by giving the building a thorough
washing instead of a coat Of paint.
The same attempt at economy was re-
peated by the Democratic House this
year, which failed to appropriate for
the annual "primping." Instead, the
Washington Fire Department was re-
quested to give the building bath to
wash off the accumulated dust Of the
summer and prepare it for the home
coming Of the President.

Fields Music Hall, in West 4ith street
The thirty-five show girls who will repre-
sent beauty m the forthcoming Weber
fields production received notices that
beginning on next Monday morning they
were to appear at all rehearsals In bloom
ers or pajamas.
It will be hard for a person not HIM
self a showgirl TO realize what an outrage
this is. It insinuates. in fact, sort OF
desire on the part Of the managers and
promoters Of the new entertainment TO
know lust what is going to be shown
when the curtain goes up on the first
night Show girls hithefto-and 1t Is
curious custom-have been taken for
granted on the strength of their facial
perfection. They have always been en-
gagged and allowed to attend rehearsals
I'm long skirts. 1t is not a girls face
that's her fortune any more In musical
comedy, however, and up-to-date man
ayers are going TO take no chances.
The Messrs. Weber and Fields and
stage director Gus. Sohlke, in spite OF the
hrmness OF tone exhibited In their edict.
are awaiting Monday morning with anxi-
ETY.. For all day yesterday the beauty
contingent, usually so radiant, was
stormy.
