Copied from the National Labor
| Tribune, Pittsburg.
The great city of Pittsburg has
seen many funerals within the past
two decades and many that actually
astonished the people for the vast
crowds who turned out to observe the
funeral procession or view the corpse,
but not within the memory of the
people has such large funeral been
seen as that of the late Pastor Charles
T. Russell which took place Monday,
November 6. 1t was very apparent
that Pastor RusselPs fame was even
unlike the prophet-Not only had it
extended all around the world but
the people of the city of his birth
had been gripped by his marvellous
had earned even against those who
assailed him for his teachings. In
order to supply the demands made by
those who desired to join the funeral
procession or follow the body to the
grave, almost every available automo-
bile in the great city of Pittsburg was
brought into action, and in order to
still meet the needs, special arrange
ments had to be entered into with the
Pittsburg Railway company to supply
special cars to carry those who could
not secure accommodations in car
rigaes or automobiles. Sad as was the |
scene of those who came to pay their
everlasting farewell, as far as this
mundane and benighted sphere is con-
,erned, yet it was splendid tribute

A prize of $500 was offered in
Washington's administration for the
best design for house to serve as a
home for the President in Washington.
James Hoban, an Irishman from South
| Carolina, was the successful COMPETE
tor. His sketch contained so many
wings and colonnades that the public
was mortified and frills and ginger
bread decorations were eliminated.
The result was the 2-story White
House as we know it now. Washing
ton laid the cornerstone of the build
ing in 1892. 1t was completed in
1899, the year of Washington's death.
John Adams was the first President
to occupy the White House, and it
was said of Abigail Adams, his wife,
that she hung up the family wash in
the East Room.
Theoretically, the President of the
United States cannot be arrested or
restrained by any public official, but
Ulysses S. Grant, while President, was
held up and arrested by negro po-
liceman for fast driving. He put up
a bond of $50 and forfeited it the
next day in police court.
The President may 90 beyond the
border of the country if he chooses,
but seldom, if ever, does so. A good
deal of talk was caused in Grover
Cleveland's administration by the re-
port that he had gone beyond the g.
mile limit on the Atlantic while fish
ing.
The President appoints his Cabinet
advisers, and he alone is responsible
for any action taken by them. Lin
coins Cabinet is said to have voted
against measure which he favored.

said he, "the ayes have it."
