WASHINGTON LETTER Chatty Gossip About A Man who Does Things; Who pays for White House Entertainments; Arrangements for the Reception of our French Visitors; A New Cabinet Rumor; etc. From our regular correspondent. President Roosevelt is constant ly showing that l;o belongs to tho class of men who do 1 liings. Every occupant of the White House for the last thirty nr forty years lias discussed w ith Senators an<l Rep resentatives ways and means of 'obtaining needed relief for the crowded condition of the White House and none of them succeed ed in getting anything done. Mr. Roosevelt has already done somee thing, and before ho has occupied the White House a year he will have the building exclusively for the use of his family. Sometime ago he took this matter up and mapped out in mind a plan. He sent for an architect and talked it over and had some plans drawn. This week the Senate endorsed* those plans by adopting an amend ment to the Sundry Civil appro priation bill appropriating $205,- 000 for improvements at the White House, and there is no doubt of the amendment being accepted by the House. Of this amount SBO,- <KM) is to be used to build a one story building just southwest of the White House, opposite the State, War and Navy Building, to be used for tlm offices for the President and clerical force, and $-11,000 for furnishing the offices. The build ing can be ready for occupancy in ninety days after work on it is started. The other $105,000 is to be used to put the interior of the White House in thorough order and to make it conform more near ly to its original plan. All the rooms on the second floor of the White House now list'd for offices will be converted into chambers and it will not be necessary for President’s family to put two or three guest in a single room, as now has to be done occasionally. By the way, speaking of the President and the White House, it is not generally known that the expense of entertaining a distin guished guest like Prince Henry at a White House dinner—the State dinner given in honor of Prince Henry cost, not less than .SI,OO0 — comes entirely out of the Presi dent’s pocket. A similar dinner is to be given in honor of the rep resentatives of France at the un veiling of t he Rochambeau statue, and the cost will be equally as much. Those people are coming as guests of the country and Con gress has appropriated money for their entertainment everywhere else, but the President will have to pay the bills when he gives a din ner. This doesn’t look liken square deal to the President. State din ners are official affairs and it would bo on all fours with justice and common sense to pay for them with public money, but there are lots of things in Washington that cannot be squared with either jus tice or common sense. Still, it is safe to say that the fear of having to pay for state dinners and other White House entertainments will never cause any man to decline the Presidency. Secretary Moody has ordered Rear Admiral Higginson, com mander of the North Atlantic sqadron, to meet the French crui ser Gaulois when she arrives off the capes, about the 21st. inst., with the French visitors who are coming to Washington to partici pate in the Rochambeau statue ceremonies, with as many of his ships as may be available and es cort. Annapolis, where she will re main for several days. Theorder also instructs Admiral Higginseon to have the Gaulois escorted by several ships of his sqadron when she visits New York, Boston, and other points later. Representative Henry C. Smith, o! Mich., in a speech in favor of an appropriation for good roads, gave the following characteristics of our big cities: In Boston they ask where you were educated: in Philadelphia, where you were born in New York, what can 1 do for THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1902. you; in Chicago, what can you do for nm,” He didn’t say what they ask in Washington, because he doubtless thought everybody knew that it was either for an office or an appropriation. It takes very little to start a . new cabinet rumor in Washington. .’ Secretary Root gave up the lease 1 he had upon the house in which he had been living about a year and took bis family to a hotel, and at once the air was full of rumors about bis intending to leave the cabinet soon. It was stated when the Roots took the house t hey had leased it for three years. That added an air of prob ability to the rumors. Mrs. Root tells friends that they gave the ] house up because she is going to! Europe next month with her son,; who has never entirely recovered j from his severe illness of last year, to remain all summer. The secre tary has not, so far as known, told anybody why he gave the house up. No less than live large dinner parties this week in honor of French Embassador and Mme, Gambon, with the following hosts and hostesses: Senator and Mrs. Depew, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, Representative and Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth, Senator and Mrs. Hanna, and the Russian Ambassador and Countess Cassini. M me. Gambon seems disposed to be anxious to meet everybody as everybody is to meet her. She has announced an afternoon re ception for every Wednesday in this month, beginning this week when the embassy was crowded to its full capacity for two hours. Representative Littlefield, of Me., as all the world knows— meaning by world those who read the newspapers —does not stand in love of the men who rule the House. He is a member of the Judiciary committee, and the other day he was talking with Representative Ray, of New York, chairman of that committee, about getting a bill in which lie was interested reported to the House. “Have you talked to any of the big bugs about it?” asked Mr. Ray. “Not a bug,” replied Mr. Littlefield, as lie turned on heel and walked off, with an expression on his face that did not indicate affection for] “bugology.” We actually have bargain sales of brains now. Swift & Cos., the the successful Washington patent i lawyers, announce a big cut in the price for obtaining patents, for a short time. WANTS OTHERS TO KNOW. “I have used DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for constipation and tropid liver and they are all right. I am glad to indorse them for I think when we find a good thing we ought to let others know it.” writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy, 111. They never gripe or dis tress. Sure, safe pills. J.so. It.

A story comes from Cambridge, Md., of au experience of the late Judge Goldborough, of that town, with one Joshua Davis, much giv en to profanity, says the Balti more Sun. The judge was severely averse to profanity, and there wa6 much curiosity to see what would happen one day when Joshua was called to the witness stand in court. In accordance with almost unrestrainable habit Joshua began his testimony with a particularly fierce and sulphuric oath. “Stop!” thundered the judge. “You are fined $5 for contempt of court.” Joshua paid the money and re sumed. By extraordinary effort lie succeeded in delivering several un objectionable sentences, but warm ing up to his subject he relapsed into his usual vocabulary. Again did the judge impose a fine. Now, flaming with wrath, Joshua asked: “Judge, can you fine me for thinking in court?” Why, no: of course not!” “Well then,” said Joshua, “I think you are a blank, blank fool, and no mistake!” THE HOME GOLD CURE An Ingenious Treatment by Which Drunkards are Being Cured Daily in Spite of Themselves.
