WHITE HOUSE At WASHINGTON

One hundred years ago, August
"a, 1914, the presidents palace"
at Washington was Quilted by fire
and from this event it became uni
versally known as the white
House." 1t was at the time IF the
war in 1912. In the pickering light
of burning Washington the scarlet
coated figures of the incendiaries,
the soldiers of the British king,
were to be seen rioting in the
streets of the city they had captur-
ed after PRESIDENT Madison and
his cabinet and most of the citizens
had fed at their approach. In the
general flight Dolly Madison, the
presidents wife fingered long
enough to cut George Washington's.
portrait from its frame and carry
it of to safety. 1t is related that
the presidents dinner was still
steaming on the table when the
British burst into the palace" as
it was theL called. In the light
cast by the burning capitol, the
treasury building, the arsenal and
1000 volumes contained in the con-
Gressional library, the troopers
rushed to the ~"palac..." Some
seized flaming brands from a burn
ing saloon and thrust them into the
draperies of the Presidents house.
Mirrors, furniture and bric-a .brar
were smashed, while the flames
burned until they had Quilted the
interior and scorched the exterior.
When the palace" WIS repaired
the fire marks we're obliterated on.
the outside with white paint. This
it is said, is the way in which the
building became known as the
white House."
Today the White House is visited
by nor than 1000 persons every
day. More historical events have
conferred around this shining white
mansion than around any like
building in tho world during the
past century. Twenty-eight presi-
dents and their families have lived
in it. and two have died within its
walls. Lincoln went from it's red
room to his assassination at Ford's
theatre; Garfield was carried uncon-
scious to its shelter when he linger-
ed in pain from the assassin's bullet
