AST WINTER was a particularly severe one in
L Washington, and on many occasions the White
House was not only white by its own color, but
by force of the elements, which made it seem even less
gleaming white than usual in contrast with the snowy
surroundings.
The corner-stone of the White House, where the twen-
ty-sixth President now has his home, was laid by George
Washington, October 13, 1792. It was first occupied by
President John Adams, and the letters of his wife, Mrs.
Abigail Adams, characterized is as “upon a grand and
Superb scale, requiring about thirty servants to keep the
apartments in proper order.” Yet this grand mansion
became entirely inadequate, and remained so for a long

time, or until the recent improvements made during
Mr. Roosevelt’s occupation. Now room is disposed to
better advantage through the additions of wings and
offices, and is in far better taste than for many years.
Contrary to popular belief the construction is not of
marble nor even of white stone. The material is sand-
stone and stucco over brick, the snowy whiteness being the
result of immaculate paint, renewed or brightened annually.
Just now the Executive Mansion, which Mr. Roose-
velt has officially designated “White House,” adopting
the popular nomenclature, holds an ideal American family,
of father, mother, and children, which has not generally
been the case, the Cleveland administration being another
exception,

PRESIDENT THEOD ORE ROOSEVELT

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Twenty-Sixth President of the United States.
OTHING new remains to be said of President
Roosevelt, who for the past decade has been
conspicuously in the public eye as a man with
strong convictions, willing to be judged by his deeds.
Secretary of War William H. Taft has said of him:
“In all my experience I have never met a man in au-
thority who has less pride of opinion in the judgments
that he has formed in respect to situations presented to
him for action than has Theodore Roosevelt. I have
never met a man who was so amenable to reason, so
anxious to reach a just conclusion, and so willing to sac-
rifice a previously formed opinion as the present president
of the United States. He is honest and frank, because
he does not know how to be anything else. His candor
shines out of him, and no one who ever came in con-
tact with him could be for a moment unconvinced that his
ideals are honor, honesty, justice, courage, industry and
force, and that he is faithful to these ideals.”
John Hay, Secretary of State, says that, before the
election, the parrot-cry was raised that Theodore Roose-
velt was unsafe, which he answers thus:
“In a certain sense we shall have to admit this to be
true. To every grade of law–breaker, high or low ; to
a man who would rob a till or ballot-box; to the sneak
or the bully; to the hypocrite
Theodore Roosevelt is more than unsafe; he is posi-
tively dangerous. Such a man is our President. He is
prompt and energetic, but he takes infinite pains to get
at the facts before he acts. In all the crises in which
he has been accused of undue haste, his action has been
the result of long meditations and well-reasoned convic-
tion. If he thinks rapidly, that is no fault; he thinks
thoroughly, and that is the essential.”
Theodore Roosevelt became President younger than
any of his predecessors. His career is wonderfully inter-
esting. No other man ever rose from Police Commis-
sioner to President of the United States in less than five
years. No other so vigorously and so successfully turned
stumbling-blocks into stepping-stones. Theodore Roose-
velt entered politics as a reformer as soon as he had left
college, and made a reputation at the very start for
public spirit, honesty, combativeness and unshakable
physical and moral courage. He was born in New York
October 27, 1858, and was educated at Harvard. When
he became President he was forty-three years old, and
when elected to the office for the present term, younger
than any other save Martin Van Buren, who holds the
distinction by a couple of months.

VICE-PRESIDENT CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS
Photo copyright by Buck.
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS
Formerly U. S. Senator from Indiana, now Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate.
EYOND a doubt, the vice presidential position
has taken on a new and greater significance in
recent years, and the successive nominations
of Theodore Roosevelt and of Charles Warren Fairbanks
for the position are indicative of the tendency toward a
proper recognition of the importance of the post.
Vice-President Fairbanks was the unanimous choice
of his party, thus making, with President Roosevelt, a
ticket which was powerful in its foreordained strength
from the very fact that both its members represent popu-
lar choice, and were selected as standard-bearers, without
dissension and without manipulation. In former years,
with the possible exception of Grant's second administra-
tion, there has never been a time when the whole body
of the country has been as uniformly pleased over the men
who pass up Pennsylvania Avenue as in the present case.
Charles Warren Fairbanks was born on a farm near
Unionville Center, Ohio, May II, 1852. He is a graduate
of Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio, and
has ever had a deep regard for his Alma Mater, and
had kept her interests at heart. He had finished his col-
lege course at the age of twenty, and two years later
was admitted to the bar of his native State, but trans-
ferred his practice soon after to Indianapolis, which city
has since been his home. In 1897 he became United
States Senator from Indiana, and last year was re-elected.
Vice-President Fairbanks has a wonderfully trained
mind, and has made his great fortune primarily through
the large fees he has been able to command for his con-
duct of difficult cases involving important interests. He
is an ideal complement to Mr. Roosevelt, and his presi-
dency of the Senate will prove of immense value to the
law-making interests of the country. He is dignified,
scholarly, and astute, and combines these qualities with
a charming gentlemanliness. The country at large is
to be congratulated on the presence of a man of force
and ability in the vice-presidency, and the city of Wash-
ington in particular, on the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Fair-
banks are to become leaders in the thought and action of
the higher circles of official Society.
An interesting thing about the position that the vice-
president will occupy is that he is practically the first one
the country has had to appear in his official capacity for
seven years, or since the death of Vice-President Hobart,
in 1898. Mr. Roosevelt, in 1901, presided over the Sen-
ate for a few minutes, just long enough to convene and
adjourn the higher chamber when he was inducted into
the vice-presidency in 190I.

THE PENSION OFFICE WHERE THE IN AUGURAL BALLS ARE HELD
THE ROOSEVELT INAUGURATION
The Most Brilliant and Most Largely Attended of Any Ceremony of
Induction to the Presidential Office
FTER long months of preparation the Roosevelt inaugu-
ration has been thoroughly arranged, and the many visi-
tors to the city who see only the completed work cannot
conceive of the labor and thought that has gone to make it the
most notable that the nation’s capital has yet seen. Actual work
commenced a month earlier than in the case of any other such
event, and the state of preparedness thus assured, with the liberal
treatment given by the railroads assures us that there are now
within the city's gates no less than 200,000 visitors, which means
that for the next few days Washington's population has an in-
crease of about 70 per cent. At the last ceremony it is estimated
that there were 132,000 strangers here, which was not the largest

inauguration crowd by any means, Mr. Cleveland's first induction
to office holding the record for inaugural crowds, with 175,000.
Washington is, however, able to take care of a much larger crowd
than this, and has done so, notably in the case of the G. A. R.
reunion held here in 1892, when 240,000 visitors practically doubled
the existing population of the city.
The inauguration is not a national event in the sense that the
national government provides for it. While it is national in
interest and in scope, it is in no sense officially so, for neither
the Federal or State Governments provide for it or foot the bills.
It is customary for Congress to appropriate $10,000 for the
maintenance of order, and the Federal Government indirectly
gives up about $30,000 more, which comes out of Uncle Sam's
pockets, that amount representing the loss of services of the
clerks in the Pension Office building, where the inaugural ball
is held. They have an enforced vacation of a week while the
building is being got ready for the ball, and while it is being
rehabilitated afterwards. -
Aside from the bonus for the maintenance of order the whole
expense is shouldered by the citizens of the District of Columbia,
by voluntary contributions and services. The occasion amounts
practically to an entertainment given by the District's inhabitants
to which the people of all the rest of the country are bidden as
guests, and it is the privilege of the people of Washington to give
those that will come just as good a time as possible. Also there
must be counted the forbearance of a President who allows him-
self, to a certain extent, to be “butchered to make a Roman holi-
day.” Unfortunately, this is literally too true, and not a few
Presidents have suffered severely from the fatigue and strain
in inclement weather, one even succumbing to the ordeal. But it
has come to be the custom that on one day in his career the
President is supposed to subvert truth and show himself in the

guise of a ruler, whereas, by the spirit of our institutions he is
really the servant of some 8,000,000 masters.
You who see to-day the glittering uniforms, the pomp of
pageant, the blazonry of bunting, and all the perfect arrangement,
are not supposed to know or care how it all came about, how the
great reviewing stands grew Aladdin-like, almost in a night,
how complete details of music, fireworks, parade, dancing, sup-
pers, concerts, and all the many things that make up the festival
were arranged for.
The first step dates back to the selection of the chairman of
the National Committee of the President-elect's party, in the
present instance Mr. George B. Cortelyou. When the candidate
he represents has been elected he decides on the resident of the
District of Columbia who is to be chairman of the Inaugural
Committee. This time the man selected is General John M.
Wilson, a Washingtonian by birth, an honored Civil War vet-
eran, a member of the United States Army (retired), formerly
superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West
Point, a master of ceremonies at the White House, a chief of
engineers of the Army, and Superintendent of Public Buildings
and Grounds in Washington. He is empowered to appoint all
the officers and committees to organize the work to make a suc-
cessful inaugural. His first act was to appoint about fifty leading
Washingtonians, and if one wants to know who the men of
achievement in their several different lines may be, this list of
the “fifty best” will tell. About half of these leading citizens
were made chairman of the various sub-committees, each having
a direct work to do, as in the case of printing and programs,
transportation, ball, fire-works, and so on. The most important
committee is that composed of prominent bankers and financiers
which takes charge of all money matters, and in addition raises
a large guarantee fund, to see the enterprise through satisfac-
torily. This is headed by Mr. Milton E. Ailes, Treasurer. At
the last inauguration the fund amounted to $56,000. This time

it is considerably more than $60,000. This does not mean that
the affair will not cost considerably more than that. Estimates
show that some $100,000 has been expended but much more than
this will be realized from the sale of seats on grand stands,
tickets to the ball, and the sale of various concessions, such as
programs, and other special privileges. If there is a surplus it

Mrs. Somebody are present for the chief purpose of being viewed
by Mr. and Mrs. Nobody, who are there for the purpose of seeing
the celebrities, and both sides are willing to pay for the privilege.
Then at the concerts later, there is the chance for still others to

will be turned over to the Board of Charities. If there is a
deficit it will be made up from the guarantee fund, according to
the contributions. The amount of the guarantee fund is gener-
ally returned to the guarantors intact, and there is every reason
to believe that this will be the case in the present instance, so
they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have stood
back of the enterprise with moral and financial support, and have
incidentally had the advertising that the published list of guar-
antors gives. The main source of revenue is from the inaugural

Just as the financially distinguished look after the matter of
business connected with this giant entertainment enterprise, so
also do those who have social prestige and practice look after
affairs at the big ball, and the White House aides and attaches
have no small part in the work of escorting the presidential
candidates and their families to their respective boxes at the hall,
and also to do the honors for the Governors of the States and

the Supreme Court, and other functionaries mixed up in the order
of their goings or comings.
To almost everyone the distinguishing and important feature
of the whole day is the great parade. This is true for many
reasons. There is the always interesting movement of troops,
the opportunity to see the President and many officials plainly,
and, above all, for the average citizen, it is a free spectacle,
though he may pay anything he wants for the privilege, from
the reasonable rate for a seat in one of the many temporary
reviewing stands, to many hundreds of dollars in an elegantly

appointed suite that overlooks Pennsylvania avenue from some
of our best hotels. Just as the finance and social matters are in
the hands of experts in these affairs, so is the military part in
the hands of the highest officers of the army, and the chief
marshal of the parade is no less a person than the commanding
general of the army, Lieutenant-General Chaffee himself.
The parade has several new features. Notwithstanding the
fact that an opposition press, bent on calling attention to “mili-
tarism,” has harped on the military tendencies that will dominate
the inauguration in response to the wishes of Mr. Roosevelt there
will not be as many soldiers as formerly. There will be a con-
siderable falling off of the number of troops in line, but they will
be more representative than at any previous inauguration, there
will be more bands, and more different and distinctive uniforms.
Where formerly the National Guard of Pennsylvania passed for
administer the oath of office to the President along with his
breakfast food, in the family dining-room. However, President
Roosevelt leaves the White House in an open victoria, accompa-
nied by his official escort, arriving at the Capitol a little before
noon, where he receives the oath from Chief Justice Fuller just
as the clock strikes twelve. Then he will deliver his inaugural
address from the flag-draped stand erected at the East front of
the Capitol, and return up the Avenue to review the troops and
citizens who march past his especial stand in front of the White
House opposite the principal stand erected for spectators along
the south face of Lafayette square.
There will be no striking novelties or innovations this year,
although at one time it was proposed to have the parade pass
around the Ellipse or White Lot, a scheme that was promptly
condemned by the press and public opinion of the city in favor

hours and hours in interminable array, there will be many crack
organizations from many different States, each with distinctive
dress uniforms, instead of the prosaic fatigue dress of the militia.
There will also be yellow-caped regular cavalry, red-trimmed
artillery, and the flashing white of the dress uniforms of the
infantry. The greater part of the military establishment of the
country will be represented, though not so much in quantity as
in quality, distinctive bodies from all branches of the service,
including the ever-interesting “Jackies,” being called on for their
share. The Annapolis and West Point cadets will be there,
and the President's escort of honor is the Rough Riders. The
actual function of the parade is only as an escort for the President
from the Capitol, where he takes the oath of office, to his official
residence, the Executive Mansion, which Mr. Roosevelt, with the
spirit of true democracy, has officially designated at the White
House. Such an escort is an unnecessary adjunct, however, and
it was Thomas Jefferson, the great examplar of democracy, who
rode to the Capitol on horseback, and tradition has it, tied his
steed to the hitching-post, was sworn in, and returned in like
manner. As a matter of fact, the letter of the law would be
satisfied if the Chief Justice should go to the White House and
-
of the time-honored route along Pennsylvania avenue alone.
It was at first thought that the great court of the Pension
Office could not again be used for the inaugural ball because of
a law passed by Congress to the effect that no public building
other than the Capitol and the White House may be used for
inaugural purposes. Yet this law was temporarily repealed in
order that the ball could be held there when it was found that
nothing could be done elsewhere. At one time it was hoped that
the Government Building could be moved from St. Louis for the
purposes of great gatherings here in Washington, and it was
even contemplated to get it ready for the present need. Yet this
was found impracticable, and after all available places were con-
sidered it was found necessary to come back to the Pension
Office, though it is hoped that the Government Building plan
may yet be carried out for future inaugurations and other similar
gatherings. The Pension Office court is a great high-ceiled glass-
covered hall, 130 by 280 feet, and is, as has been shown, the only
available place in Washington for the great evening feature of
the festival. Here the inaugural ball has been held since the time
of President Garfield, when the National Museum Building, which
was completed but not yet occupied, was used. Before that time

This white marble palace overlooks the magnificent area of 512 acres which constitutes one of Washington's most superb parks
the ball was held in private halls, for example, the one on E
street between Ninth and Tenth, which is now used as a bowling
alley. -
There is always an elaborate supper served in connection with
the ball, at which great crates and hogsheads of heavy and cheap
china are used; for the simple reason that it is cheaper and easier
to supply a lot than it is to wash and re-use that which may be
available. Also there is that particular variety of the genus
American, widely known as the souvenir fiend, who takes table-
ware away as mementoes. By making the ware cheap and heavy
there is no great loss sustained, and the material and lack of
value acts in some sense as a deterrent.
Temperance folk will rejoice that the supper is a dry affair
as far as questions of looking-on-the-when-it-is-red are con-
cerned. This is not so much a matter of principle in the present
case as a matter of wisdom. At the first McKinley inaugural
ball wine was served, for which the administration was soundly
berated by the temperance workers, and it was found that the
effects of it showed on a few individuals. Since the date of the
ball falls on Saturday night it was expected that the festivities
would close promptly at midnight, though the subterfuge was
suggested of resorting to a turning of the clock back just as Con-
gress does when there is business to be attended to which cannot
be finished before noon on the fourth of March. Either that or

five-feet-four in your French heels, and have come all this dis-
tance for just this moment, for unless you have a stand in the
front row you won’t see one thing.

NEXT to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt themselves, the
wide country is most interested in the piquant Miss Alice. You
will know her by her pale young face with her hair rolled low on
her neck, by a certain lithe grace, and the artistic lines of her
gown. For Miss Alice is all grace. One can also see in imagi-
nation the newly-elected Vice-President, very tall, with his black
hair drawn smooth across the top of his head, not parted—no,
indeed! And Mrs. Fairbanks will bow and bow and everybody
will crowd up to shake hands with her, for Mrs. Fairbanks is
popular.

IS the Inauguration Ball “swell?” Yes—and no. Don't miss
it if you have the five-spot. Nobody'll know if you walk. All
the somebodys will be there. Sometimes “somebody” isn't a least
bit swell. But the swells will come, sure, because the President
is there. And the assemblage is bound to be brilliant. President
Roosevelt has manifested ever since he became President such a
distinct predilection for the uniform that all the officers present
will be gold bedight. Squadron A, of New York, will add its
stage-effect-gray-and-yellow-hussar costume to the scene; and
then the diplomats | Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the British
Ambassador, is a giant figure. Perhaps big Count Cassini, the
Russian Ambassador, and Baron Mayor des Planches, the Italian
Ambassador, will go walking along together, talking away, just
as if a hungry multitude were not trying to eat them with its
eyes. Fair Countess Cassini will be all in black, doubtless, for
she has worn the sombre hue ever since her country has been in
sorrow. Baron Sternburg, the German Ambassador, will wear
a uniform of bright blue, adding a picturesque color note to the
scene. And surely Sir Chentung Liang Cheng will be there, in
his flowing Chinese brocades. Yes, the proud people of our town
will come; Mrs. Oliver Cromwell–in white satin or blue? Rep-
resentative and Mrs. Huff and Miss Carolyn Huff. Representa-
tive and Mrs. Dalzell. Pity that Baron and Baroness Hengel-
muller are in Europe. Representative and Mrs. Lamar and Army
folks galorel Grand General Chaffee with Mrs. Chaffee, so
charming. General and Mrs. Gillespie. Young Captain Leonard
with his armless sleeve. Admiral Dewey, applauded at every
step. Oh, go to the Inaugural Ball!
>k >k >k
PERHAPS the Justices will be there to add dignity to the
scene. Not the Chief Justice, for he is in mourning; but Justice
and Mrs. McKenna and their two charming daughters; Justice
and Mrs. White; huge Justice Harlan; Justice Brown and his
bride, and all the rest of them. Then our own District bench
will surely be represented : Justice and Mrs. Anderson and Miss
Perie Anderson (some people say that Mrs. Anderson looks like
Mrs. McKinley); Justice and Mrs. Job Barnard, and other digni-
fied gentlemen and ladies. -

DOES anybody dance at the Inaugural Ball? Why, some
people, yes. Most everybody walks around looking, but here and
there is a cleared space in the crowd where you may whirl if you
want to. Truly, though, waltzing on a tiled floor is a good deal
like dancing on a lawn—poetical in print but hard in practice.
But the band plays, and the President sits in his elevated gallery
and beams down on the multitude. Maybe, he'll smile at you.
Oh, go to the Inaugural Ball !

wife were at the head of it. The others were Mrs. Woeburn,
widow of the civil engineer; the Hon. James Blackman, wife,
and daughter; D'Artgen, a French marquis, and Brittman of the
German Embassy in London. They were all ultra-fashionable
in their way, and their little party had not been made up entirely
by accident. Sir George and the Honorable James had planned
a voyage to the Mediterranean, and had invited Mrs. Woeburn
as a guest. The marquis, who had met Miss Blackman a few
times in London society, decided that he was in love with her,
and determined to take the trip on his own account, to further
his interests. Brittman did not know whether he was in love
with the widow or not. As he had secured leave of absence for
four months, it seemed to him that he might as well make a
voyage as remain ashore.
But when the steamer reached Gibraltar the “ring” suddenly
found the sand being cut from under its feet by the undertow.
The “undertow” came aboard at that point. He was a tall, solid
man, with a merry eye and an open face, and his manner was
friendly. It was safe to say that he was not the scion of aristo-
crats, and that he had neither a college diploma nor a knowledge
of the rules of social etiquette. He had scarcely stowed away
his things in a stateroom when he made a bold-faced attempt to
break down the “ring.” Sir George was pacing the deck with
his cigar when the new arrival walked up to him and said:
“I’ll keep you company if you don’t mind, Captain. I’ve been
waiting here for a week and I’m dog-tired of old Gib. Plenty
of guns and redcoats and all that, but do you know I couldn't
find a cocktail in the whole place? Positive fact, sir. Never
even heard of one. Think of a town without a cocktaill”
Sir George halted. Then he slowly raised his monocle and
adjusted it. He stared at the stranger for a long half minute
before he exclaimed :
“Sir, are you addressing, me?”
“By George, but your'e a cool old boy!” mused the other in
tones of admiration. “Standing on etiquette, eh? Well, maybe
I was too previous. My name's Joslyn–Colonel Joslyn of
Dakota, U. S. A. I’ve got a sworn affidavit in my trunk from
our County Sheriff that I’ve never been arrested for murder.
Youv'e got a name, I suppose?”
“Sir!” gasped the Englishman, as he continued to stare.
“And I'm making a little pleasure trip all by my lonesome,”
continued the Colonel. “Always said I would if I ever got money
enough. How are you on poker? I haven't played a game in
three months and am beginning to feel homesick.”
Sir George's hand went up to his glass. The glass was re-
moved from his eye. Hand and glass fell together. Then he
faced about and walked off as erect as a West Pointer. Colonel
Joslyn had been snubbed. There were five or six people looking
on and enjoying the affair, and they expected to hear some out-
burst on the Colonel’s part. There was none, however. He
merely rubbed his hands together and smiled and said to himself:
“The old cock is either a jolly or else he's standing on his dig.
because we don’t rent pews in the same church. I’ll see him
1ater.”
Only half an hour had passed when Colonel Joslyn ran across
the marquis. The Frenchman had just finished a promenade
with Miss Blackman, and had received what he felt sure was en-
couragement.
“Going to stop at Malt?” asked the Colonel in his easygoing
way, as he extended a cigar in his fingers.
The marquis smiled faintly and shrugged his shoulders. He
had seen Sir George snub the American, and he felt it a duty to
follow his example.
“Don’t understand, eh? Well, it don’t matter much. I was
just going to ask if there was anything worth seeing. If you
could talk English I’d also ask you who that girl is you were
walking about with. I’ll be hanged if she isn't the perfect pic-
ture of the Widow Taylor's daughter Hetty. I’ve been a little
sweet on Hetty for a year or two past, and when I first saw
you with that girl my heart jumped into my mouth.”
The marquis bit his lip and smiled and shook his head and
walked off, but if he thought he had snubbed Colonel Joslyn he
was mistaken. As he could not speak English, and as the Colo-
nel could not speak French, how could there have been a snub?
It was two or three days before another attempt was made
to break up the “ring.” Then the Colonel met Brittman in the

smoking room. The situation was plainer now, and there was
a fatherly twang in the Colonel’s tone as he said:
“Look here, mister, I want to say a word or two for your own
good. It's seldom I mix up in anybody's rows, but I hate to see
a man fighting without a fair show.”
“Who you vhas P’ asked the attaché with considerable dignity,
but not half as much as he might have assumed had not the
Widow Woeburn refused him an hour before.
“Name's Joslyn, of the U. S. A., and I’m doing a little trotting
about alone. I see you belong to that little ‘ring, but you are
simply throwing your time away.”
The attaché could not make out the Colonel's meaning until
the case had been gone over again and again. Then he was
furious. It was bad enough for a stranger to approach him in
that blunt fashion, but for the same man to mix up in his love
affair and give him fatherly advice was beyond endurance. He
wanted to swear and pound on the table and tell the Colonel
what he thought of him, but his good breeding restrained him.
He simply sat bolt upright and glared. The Colonel tried to go
on, but even he was nonplused. By and by the attaché got up
and walked away. As he moved off his looks and bearing indi-
cated that he had never heard of Colonel Joslyn of South Dakota,
or of the United States of America. They were as nothing to
him. -
“Was that a snub or wasn’t it?” questioned the man from
Dakota as he relighted his cigar stub. “No, it couldn't be. As
he can’t talk English, and I can’t talk German, there is no
snubbing about it. He has just taken my words to heart and
gone off to ponder over them.”
A day or so passed and then Colonel Joslyn started in again
to break up the “ring.” The Widow Woeburn chanced to be
on deck alone. She happened to drop her handkerchief, and the
Colonel happened to catch it before it blew overboard. As he
returned it he lifted his hat and said:
“Came might near losing my hat in the same puff. Going as
far as Alexandria P” The widow looked at him in astonishment,
and he hastened to introduce himself and add :
“You must be lonesome in such a queer crowd. I’ve tackled
three of the men, and I’ll be hanged if I can tumble to 'em. I
should think they'd want to have a good time.”
Having thus delivered himself, he coolly sat down beside the
lady and asked her if she had ever been in the United States,
and if so what she thought of the people. Before she could
reply—or administer a snub-the rest of the “ring” arrived in a
body. They were astounded at the situation. Some smiled and
some glared, but it was the Honorable James Blackman who
retreated a few paces and beckoned for the colonel to approach.
The two had not met before.
“Sir” began the honorable as the Dakota man drew near, “is
there any particular reason why you desire to make the acquain-
tance of any one of our party?”
“Well, no desperate reason,” replied the colonel. “I thought
some of you might be glad of a poker game, or would like to
swap yarns to pass away the time, and I believe I'd enjoy a talk
with the widow over there, but I ain’t desperate about it.”
“Then, sir, will you be kind enough to leave us to ourselves?”
continued the honorable.
“You mean I’m to fight shy of your crowd P”
“I mean, sir—I mean that when we desire your company we'll
give you due notice Is that plain P’’
“Colonel, that's as plain as the horns on a steer.
you mean to snub me?”
“You are a man of perception, sir!”

By and by the Monarch reached Alexandria. The “ring” drew
a long breath and hoped it had seen the last of Colonel Joslyn.
He had been talked over on several occasions, and though it was
agreed that he was harmless, he could not be forgiven for his
familiarity. When an American who has risen from the dust of
cattle trails attempts to cross the gulf separating him from
British aristocracy his audacity must be resented. The “ring”
had planned to go up the Nile by steamer. Berths were secured
and the steamer was ringing her bell for “all aboard” when Colo-
nel Joslyn walked up the gangplank. He had also decided to go
up the Nile.
“For Gawd's sake!” gasped Sir George as he recognized the
ſºlarl.

“Parbleu ! but ze American l’ growled the marquis.
“Donner und blitzen! but he vhas here!” muttered the attaché
as he tugged at his mustache and gave it a fiercer appearance.
“Hello, you folk!” shouted the Colonel as he reached the deck.
“I heard that the Nile beat the Missouri River all holler as a
stream, and I’m going up to settle the matter. How've you all
been since I saw you last?”
Eight people stared into space. Eight heads were held stiffly.
If there was a man named Colonel Joslyn of Dakota, U. S. A.,
it was naught to them. He might be living—he might never
have lived. It was a cold, cold snub, but it did not worry the
Colonel for five minutes. He had never snubbed man or woman
in his life. He had even been careful not to humiliate his dog
or his bronco.
snubbing was their way he would not quarrel about it. It was a
small steamer, with but few passengers, and for the next four
days the Colonel was snubbed almost hourly. Whenever a land-
ing was made the exclusives walked about by themselves, and
the Colonel never tried to force himself in. On the steamer he
was a leveler of caste; on land he had a limit. Nothing of much
consequence happened until they had been afloat several days.
Then a breaking down happened to the machinery, and the boat
was tied to the bank at a mud-walled village.
There was little to see near at hand, but a mile away was a pile
of old ruins. The “ring” started out first, and Colonel Joslyn
was the only one who followed. The remainder of the passen-
gers did not think it would pay to tramp over the sands under
the hot sun. The man from Dakota did not think much of the
ruins after he reached them. He gathered a few souvenirs, and
was about to return to the steamer when he heard a cry for help.
The people of the “ring” were half a mile away when he last saw
them. The cry was in a woman's voice, and the Colonel lost no
time in answering it. He suddenly made his appearance behind
a great mass of debris, to find the party of eight lined up in good
order. An ugly-looking native with a pistol was holding the vic-
tims steady, while his “pal” was passing the hat for contributions.
In this case they were expected to give liberally if not cheerfully.
Money, watches and rings were being dropped into the hat as it
passed.
“Hello! A hold-up, eh?” exclaimed the Colonel as he came to
a halt. “Well, that’s next to poker, and I’ll take a hand l’
The man with the pistol fired and missed. The next moment
he pitched forward unconscious. The other fellow attempted to
run away, but the Colinel was on his back in three jumps. He
was twisted around, a blow was dealt under his ear, and he, too,
became unconscious. -
“Bravo! Bravo!” cried the four men in chorus; and “Oh, you
dear man!” exclaimed the four women together; but Colonel
Joslyn held up his hand in warning and said:
“Pocket that plunder and make for the steamer.
me as if there was a plot here.” -
As the “ring” moved off he drew a navy revolver and acted as
rear guard. They were not yet clear of the ruins when half a
dozen desperate-looking natives were giving chase. None of the
four men was armed, but just before reaching the village they
came upon a pile of stakes. Each seized one, and the dozen men
who swarmed out of the hovels to bar their way did not dare to
come to close quarters. The rear was well guarded. There were
twenty men slowly crowding up on the American as he reached
the bank, and though most of them had muskets or pistols, they
feared to open the battle. As the party reached the steamer the
natives drew off. The captain, mate, engineer, fireman and all
the crew were Egyptians. -
“They are robbers—river pirates—they will capture the steamer
and murder us all!” wailed the captain as he caught the shouts
of the retreating natives.
“Let's figure a little on that,” replied the Colonel as he joined
the excited group on deck. “Did you ever have a row with pirates
before?”
“Never !
first hutſ” -
“Well, if you've had no experience, let me run things for a
while. Fighting pirates can't be much worse than rioting In-
dians. The first move is to get the boat clear of the bank.”
“But we’ve no steam l’’
“Then let her drift. Get out those poles and heave her off.”
The steamer was carried a hundred feet into the stream before
she lost her headway, and then the anchor was dropped. She
was within musket range of the huts, but was safe from a sudden
rush. As soon as the anchor was down everything movable was
carried to the starboard side to protect the cabin from bullets,
but the place had not been made reasonably safe when fire was
opened. The flying bullets drove the crew to their quarters, and

However, other people were different, and if
the officers and passengers into the cabin, and for the first time
the people of the “ring” had an opportunity to thank the Colonel
for coming to their rescue. Smiling as he remembered the last
snub, he hurriedly replied:
captain, and it's ten to one the crew are in with the robber gang.
I want to pay the engineer a visit.”
Ten minutes later he was back with the chief engineer. He
had the native by the neck, and the fellow was white with fear.
As he was whirled into a corner and warned not to stir on peril
of his life, the man from Dakota explained:
“He disabled his own engine to lay us up here. His assistant
is making repairs, and the firemen are chucking in coal. Nice
little plot, but I think we'll beat it. Now, then, who has got
pistols P” -
The four men of the “ring” had revolvers in their trunks, and
the same was the case with five other male passengers. When
the weapons were brought out and loaded two men were sent
down into the engine room to act as a tonic on the assistant and
his firemen. About this time the mate began to act queerly and
he was hurried into the corner with the other prisoner and Sir
George detailed to guard them. The Honorable Blackman took
his place before the quarters of the deck hands, and then, by
Colonel Joslyn's directions, the rest of the armed men got such
cover as they could and opened fire on the robbers who were
skulking along the bank. It was not prize target shooting, but
it drove the fellows back and lessened their fire. It did not take
fifteen minutes to fix the engines, and when they were pro-
nounced all right there was steam enough in the boiler to go
ahead with.
But they were not to get out of it so easily. The thieves ashore
saw how things were progressing, and they suddenly ceased their
attack and ran to a flatboat lying against the bank above the
village. A full score of them jumped in and cast off. If they
reached the steamer they were strong enough to carry her by
boarding. There were calls for the crew to get up the anchor,
and calls for the captain to take the pilot house, but neither was
responded to. The crew sulked in their quarters and the captain
trembled in the cabin. Colonel Joslyn again came to the rescue.
With a hammer he knocked the shackle pin out of the chain and
let the anchor go, and then going to the pilot house he took the
wheel. Bullets fairly rained about him, driving all others to
cover, but he was not hit.
While the flatboat was still fifty feet away the steamer began
to move. The robbers had planned to grasp her anchor-chain
and swing alongside, and as she headed away from them they
rent the air with their fierce screams, and concentrated their fire
on the man in the pilot house. Colonel Joslyn hid from view,
but it was only for a moment. As soon as the flatboat had drifted
past he not only got up, but he called to Sir George, the Honor-
able, the Marquis and all other who could come. In fifty words
he told them his plan. Two minutes later the steamer was de-
scribing a circle. When she had half-completed it, she was
headed for the robbers' craft. They fired and shouted and used
their oars, but she came driving along and struck the flatboat on
her port quarter and tore her stern away. As she struck there
was a fusillade from the cabin windows. Looking back in the
steamer's wake, the passengers could not discover even a single
swimmer. It was a complete annihilation. When he realized
this the captain regained his courage, the mate stopped sulking
and the engineer begged to be sent about his duties. If there
had been a conspiracy it was no longer to be feared.
After Colonel Joslyn had turned over the command, and things
were running smoothly, the “ring” sent for him. The circle
opened to let him in as he arrived. He was perspiring, and he
was grimy. He was coatless and hatless, and his hair was in a
tangle. Sir George cleared his throat and looked half ashamed
as he began :
“Colonel Joslyn, it may have occured to you that—that—that

party, he marched off to his stateroom to remove the stains of

him, and then his companions looked at each other in blank as-
tonishment and swallowed hard at the bitter pill.

WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, MAR-H. 4, 1905
Time of
Inauguration of the United States, was inducted into
office April 30, 1789. He served seven
years, eleven months and four days, and was succeeded by John
Adams, who served four years, and then came Thomas Jefferson,
who was the first of the two-term presidents to serve out eight
years. In other words, the Father of His Country was the only
President who served out two terms who did not occupy the
office for eight years. The reason was that the first term of
John Adams, instead of beginning as Washington's did, on April
30, began on March 4, according to Act of Congress, and the
day has held ever since. This is most unfortunate, as there is
no more unsettled period in the very unsettled and generally
disagreeable weather common to the District of Columbia on or
near the first of March. It is said that William Henry Harrison,
who died one month after his inauguration, was hastened into
his grave by the rigors of a fourth of March inauguration. On
the other hand, Washingtonians find their city most delightful
in the middle of Spring and Fall, and a return to the date, April
30, would bring the inaugural ceremonies to Washington at the
time when everything was beautiful, and the trees for which the
city is justly famed just in the first freshness of spring green.
Coming down to concrete fact in addition to the many abstract
conditions making the April date advisable, we have in the case
of President Roosevelt a man whose term of office was dictated
by fate, and a slight lengthening would not affect him or the rest
of the country one way or the other, except that it would conduce
to the comfort of a half-a-million people every four years, and
would follow the precedent established by Washington. Aside
from a phrase in the Twelfth Amendment which refers to no
other sentence in the Constitution there is nothing to stand in
the way of a new Act of Congress to make a change in the date
of inauguration. Or if not that, there is no harm in having a
special day set aside for the ceremonies, having the President
take the oath of office one day and be on view later. This might
savor of “funeral-baked meats to coldly furnish forth the mar-
riage-tables.” Still it is done elsewhere, as for example the
coronation of King Edward, which took place more than a year
after he succeeded to the throne, and lost nothing by the delay.
This is a thing for Congress to think about, and any change
made could not be better than during Mr. Roosevelt’s adminis-
tration. -
Gº WASHINGTON, the first President
Shall We Make
It National. that the inaugural celebration, being wholly
in the hands of the citizens of the District
of Columbia, can or may be arranged for any date selected by
the aforementioned citizens. This brings up another phase of
the discussion which has lately had some attention. For be it
known that the inauguration ceremonies are not provided for by
any official act of the Federal Government, and the Constitution
would be vindicated if a President took the oath of office in bed,
or any other place, even at any private residence, as Mr. Roosevelt
did on a certain sad September day in Buffalo. The inaugural
pageant is purely a matter of private enterprise on the part of the
residents of Washington who make it incumbent upon themselves
to give the rest of the country, or such part of it as will come, a
royal good time. Recently there has been an agitation to have
the United States Government provide for the whole affair, and
many arguments are advanced to support the contention. But it
is doubtful if there would be any advantages to the plan, and
there would be several disadvantages. As it is now the National
Government supplies a considerable sum of money “for maintain-
ing order,” furnishes the use of the only available building in
town, and, through the War Department, makes up the bulk of
the most attractive part of the parade by ordering the pick of the

military to the scene of action. The question naturally arises
as to what more it could do if it had sole charge. For its officers
command and organize the parade, engineer the social amenities
of the ball and do other things besides. It would be wrong to
ask the Treasury of the United States to pay all moneys when
the business men of Washington reap the profits. It certainly
seems logical that the citizen of Washington should do all he
can to make the occasion a success, and it is a matter of civic
pride with the public-spirited one that he has the privilege of
showing his hospitality and his ability to the citizens of the rest
of the country. To ask Congress to do it all is to lose an oppor-
tunity, in the first place; in the second, it is a suggestion that
Some one else paint the scenery, provide the show and theater,
pay the actors, plan and produce the play, and supply the orchestra
and scene-shifters, while half of the audience, represented by the
body of Washingtonians, gets the box-office receipts, or, in other
words, the accrued business which comes to the city.

Some misunderstandings, is again openly demonstrative in its
esteem, largely as a result of the Lincoln day speech. He stands
to-day bound by no partisan pledges, and no promises of patron-
age. He won his fight for the Presidency openly, announcing
from the beginning his ambitions, and sweeping aside all opposi-
to them, winning thereby the notable distinction of being the only
man elected to the Vice-Presidency who succeeded to the Presi-
dency. As soon as he knew that he was elected he gave notice
in no uncrtain terms that he would not stand for re-election.
Therefore he is not to be bound by any course of action to secure
another nomination. His decks are clear for action and sails are
trimmed for an excellent course. He has a chance never given
to any former President. Those who know him best say that
he is prepared to take advantage of his opportunity and all believe
that he is able and willing to. Some most ardent admirers denote
him a combination of Washington and Lincoln, but he is wholly
Roosevelt, versatile, energetic, alive to every question before the
country, and a real thinker on all of them. He is the pioneer
of a new order in American political life, the first of the younger
generation in the presidential office. The eyes of the country are
on him, and highest hopes are actual expectations.

MR. NoFMAN DALY, Accompanist and
Assistant Piano Teacher,
Something new for Washington is the
unique Harris-Ewing photograph studio
at 131I F street. Ever since the open-
ing, a little more than a week ago,
there has been a crowd in front of
their show windows, in which against a
dark background are displayed a number
of beautiful examples of photographic art,
many in color, and all bearing some mark
of distinction. One enters, and not up a
toilsome, tiresome, long flight of steps, but
onto a ground floor reception room, with
dainty flanking offices, and through striking-
ly odd chain portierres sees a rosy-lighted
room wherein are displayed the most exclu-
sive and artistic frames.
The studio's equipment includes every
known modern device of value. The dress-
ing rooms and retiring rooms are many and
distinctive. For example those for gentle-
men are finished in moss green and dull
flemish oak. One of the ladies' rooms is
all in lavendar, making it as dainty and
French-looking a retiring room as milady's
boudoir. Still another room, by means of
screens, and bamboo fittings, is converted
into a Japanese room that reflects the tastes
of the maidens of far Nippon.
The proof of good photography lies in
the artistic merit of the picture coupled
with strength of likeness, and judged by
both these attributes the Harris-Ewing pho-
tographs are eminently successful.

GEORGE WASHINGTON DINNER.
The art of dinner giving is taught at the
National Cooking School by having the stu-
dents prepare and serve, their respective
classes, dinners, following out a certain
scheme or color.
The most successful dinners given this
season, by the classes, were the series
served in honor of George Washington's
birthday.
The chandeliers and mantel of the school
dining room were gay with United States
flags and patriotic emblems, while a minia-
ture encampment of tents, flags, cannon and
soldiers ornamented the center of the table.
The menu was embellished with small red
hatchets and a miniature of the Father of
His Country. Cases in the shape of drums
and United States flags held the nuts and
frosted grapes. Tiny cannon guarded the
individual ices served in red shields, and
small tents flying the Stars and Stripes
were the souvenirs of a most enjoyable
dinner. Among the students who cooked
these dinners were Misses Dunlop, Robert-
son, Lyman, Reynolds, Ball, Foster, Sim-
mons, Lewis, Harrison, Dove, MacCamp-
bell, Rims, Smallwood, Holderman, Jandt,
and Hinley; Mrs. Smith, Kennedy, Padgett,

“Well, the first winter I was in Washington, I gave two
musicales at the Washington Club, and brought artists from
New York for the occasion.
Scotti, and later Franz Wilczek, the violinist. The third winter,
there hadn't been any grand opera in Washington for three
years, so I brought on the Metropolitan Opera Company for one
performance of ‘Philemon et Baucis.’ Oh, that was such a lot
of trouble ! I had to arrange for transportation, and get the
music-stands for the orchestra, and then I couldn't get the music,
so they sent me on one score from New York. The chorus was
made up here in Washington and wouldn't sing in French, so I
had to arrange the English words, and in two days wrote words
and music for the whole chorus—sixty copies! -
“Then, did you know, that last winter the opera company
offered me the management of their three nights of opera, but I
couldn't get a theater. Then, this year, Mr. Conried offered
me ‘Parsifal, but I couldn't get a theater for that.”

“Yes, it really is. See, they've all given me their pictures.
There's Scotti and Salignac and Lilli Lehmann. Here's a pic-
ture Ysaye sent me after that packed house he had this winter.
See, he wrote on it, 'A la bonne soeur de tous les bons artistes,

R. JASPER DEAN McFALL, though a
resident of Washington but a little more
than six years, has thoroughly identified
himself with the musical life of the nation's capital. Mr. McFall
has a beautiful barytone voice, highly cultivated, which he uses
with consummate skill. His reputation as a singer and teacher
are equally great, and in the latter his work is continually mani-
festing itself by the number of good singers that go out from his
studio each year. Mr. McFall resorts to no tricks or fads to
attract the unwary—on the contrary, his studio is a workshop
where the cultivation of the voice is taken seriously and where
every phase of voice production is worked out in minute detail.
His method is best illustrated in his own singing, which is always
satisfying and artistic. Mr. McFall is a favorite in many clubs

church on Capitol Hill. Mr. McFall's method has the indorse-

as pupils actors and public speakers who studied for the benefit
of their speaking voices.

An Important Announcement to Lovers of the Horse
Washington is to have a first-class establishment for riding and
driving, sales, instruction, and the care and keep of horses.
MR. EDWIN R. SIMS, the Adroit Riding and Driving In-
Structor, announces that he has perfected the facilities of a
riding, driving and training School at the 22d and P Street
Riding Academy.
All owners of horses stabling at the Academy can arrange
to make use of the privileges of the indoor equipment.
Mr. Sims is daily giving instructions in the finer arts of
horsemanship in all its branches. Your attention is called to
the fact that Mr. Sims takes charge of unmanageable or
Spoiled horses and perfects their gaits, making them docile
and well Schooled.
The accompanying illustration shows “Lime-
stone Belle,” a famous mare, owned by Mr.
O. D. Woodward, of Kansas City. . Mr. Sims
has managed the Schooling of “Limestone Belle”
and exhibited her at all important horse Shows
This mare was ridden by Mr. Sims in the pro-
ductions of “Quo Vadis” and “Under Two

F THE Washington Theaters did not have such
good shows during inauguration week they
would have made more money in the long run,
because any old show would have good houses, while those here
now, or billed for March 6, are such as would draw good crowds
at any time. But perhaps it is part of the policy of the theaters
to do as the rest of the city has done—to put the best foot for-
ward even if it does not always mean the most money in.
At the Columbia George Ade’s “Sultan of Sulu" adds to the
fame of the author of “Fables in Slang” and pleases big au-
diences. Maxine Elliott, at the National, has “Her Own Way”
with the hearts of the big crowds there, and “Busy Izzy,” at the
Lafayette, is most extremely busy making fun for the hordes
who come to see how he and his pretty girls are able to do it.
Chase's bill, for pure artistic merit is not up to that of the week
before, but is more sensational. Still, as the management will
have to hire special wardens to keep some of the crowds away
there is a sufficient guarantee that the fare is pleasing to the
extent that there’s hardly enough to go around.
N MONDAY next, at the New National
Theater, Charles Frohman will present Sir
Charles Wyndham, Miss Mary Moore and
their complete London Company in the three most successful plays
of their repertoire. The week's program has been arranged as
follows: On Monday and Tuesday nights and matinee Saturday,
“Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace,” by Hubert Henry Davies, with Sir
Charles as Capt. Mowbray, and Miss Moore as Mrs. Gorringe;
on Wednesday and Thursday nights, “David Garrick,” by the
late Tom Robertson, with Sir Charles in the title role, and Miss
The Week
Sir Charles
Wyndham
MARCH 4, 1905
Moore as Ada Ingot; on Friday and Saturday nights, Henry
Arthur Jones' comedy, “The Case of Rebellious Susan,” with
Sir Charles as Sir Richard Kato and Miss Moore as Lady Susan
Harabin. The plays by Mr. Jones and Mr. Davies had their first
stage productions at the London theater of Sir Charles Wynd-
ham, so that he and Miss Moore are the original creators of their
chief roles. “The Case of Rebellious Susan” has not been played
here since the Lyceum company presented it a dozen years ago.
The opening attraction, “Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace,” gives won-
derful opportunity for versatility, and while exceedingly clever,
has no lack of strength.
XHUBERANTLY mirthful May Irwin comes
to the Columbia. Theater for a week’s en-
gagement, beginning Monday, March 6th.
She brings with her the successful George V. Hobart comedy,
“Mrs. Black is Back.” This has been called a paradox, because
it has been analyzed as a logical farce. Miss Irwin returned to
the stage this season after an absence of two years, in which
she has enjoyed a much needed rest. She returns rejuvenated
and with self-same personality that over-bubbles, as usual, with
good cheer. Mr. Hobart, well-known here as a newspaper man,
has written a play that fits Mis Irwin capitally. Her company
has been carefully selected this season, and includes A1. S. Lip-
man, Edgar Atchison-Ely, Nick Long, Chas. Lane, Roland Carter,
John G. Sparks, Al. Johns, John Johnson, Charles Church, Jane
Burby, May Donohue, and Frances Gordon, with George V.
Nicholas as musical director. Miss Irwin's repertoire of “coon”
songs consists of “Tennessee,” “”Tain't No Sense in Lovin' That
“Mrs. Black

There is no place like Washington for the proper growth and
appreciation of the anecdote. WASHINGTON LIFE is making a
special feature of this form of wit and humor, and here with
invites contributions of little stories, well told, about persons of
prominence. Such as are original, and suited to our columns,
will be paid for.
ANOTHER MEANEST MAN.
“T". meanest man I ever knew,” said Representative
Ryan, of Buffalo, the other day, “was a chap who
came to the house of a doctor, who is trying to build
up a practice in Buffalo, one night in the Christmas holidays. It
was snowing and very cold.
“‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘what are your terms?’
“‘One dollar for an office visit and two dollars for a call,” re-
plied the doctor.
“‘Have you a horse?’
“‘Yes.” -
“‘Well, hitch up and I’ll go along with you. I need you out
West Seneca way.”
“The doctor had his horse brought around and the man got in
the buggy with him. They drove about four miles out into the
country. -
“‘Here's the place,’ said the man as they reached a farm house.
Then he handed the doctor two dollars.
“‘You needn’t go in,’ he said, ‘a liveryman wanted to charge
me five dollars to bring me out here, but I thought I would
rather give you two dollars.’”
SAD BEREAVEMENT.
EWSPAPER accounts explain that Leo Wheat, a wonder-
N ful pianist, courted of great people, is now in an alms
house, friendless and alone. His fall is a commentary on
the deadliness of drink. Yet he was a perfect gentleman of the
old Virginia school and no less than a great genius at the piano.
At the time of Mrs. Cleveland's residence in Washington Leo
Wheat was her pet pianuist. She rarely gave en entertainment
at which he did not play.
One day she met him on the street, and saw that he looked
very sad.
“What is it, Mr. Wheat?” she asked, in accents of concern.
Leo drew his hand across his eyes.
“I am sad, Mrs. Cleveland,” he replied, “very, very sad. As a
matter of fact, I have lost my wife.”
“I am sorry,” said Mrs. Cleveland, somewhat surprised that
he was not in mourning. “When did it happen?”
Mr. Wheat sighed heavily.
“My wife got a divorce a year ago from me,” he explained,
“and I have only just heard of it.”
WHY THEY LAUGHED.
UMOR is not the strongest attribute of Vice-President
H Fairbanks, though he knows a good joke when he sees
one. Yet it is said that he takes a too-serious point of
view at times and that his habits of thought are ultra-dignified
and formal quite to the extent of being funereal.
So marked was this quality that during the recent campaign
a number of facetious reporters, who followed the fortunes of
war as conducted by Republican rallies and mass-meetings, looked
for a reference to the dead at some point in every speech that
Mr. Fairbanks made. They counted it as such a sure thing that
they discussed it and made wagers on it. It was in Indianapolis,
the Vice-President's home city, that a number of these irre-
sponsible young men passed the word around that Mr. Fairbanks
would mention death in his speech, and offered odds. Naturally
there were several takers and a large number of spectators near
the bettors who were interested in the outcome.
The Vice-Presidential candidate walked to the front of the
platform, and, pointing in the direction of the city's magnificent
soldiers' monument, began, somewhat in this wise: -
“Friends and fellow-citizens; when I stand here and look to-

ward that wondrous shaft erected to the memory of those brave
sons who met death on many battlefields 22
Here he was interrupted by loud laughter from many persons
- in one quarter of the hall, on whom the rest of the speech was
wholly lost.
A SILENT ARGUMENT.
A SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVE was discussing Pres-
ident Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro and saying
that he did not believe the President realized how shift-
less many individuals are.
“Still,” he remarked, “they are really very cute in their worth-
less ways, and excite a certain admiration if not respect.
“In South Carolina I watched an old negro fishing in a brick-
yard pond upwards of an hour, during which time the hook was
not pulled up.
“‘Do you think there are any fish there?' I asked at last.
“‘No, Sah; I reckon not.’
“‘But you seem to be fishing.’
“‘Yes, Sah.”
“‘But perhaps you are not fishing for fish.
ject?”
“‘De objick, sah, of my fishin' foh fish whah dey ain’ any fish,
is to let de ole woman see dat I hain't got no time to hoe de truck
in de gyahdin patch.’”
A of Tennessee, tells a story about him, as follows:
“Washington had a keen sense of the ridiculous, but
he often applied it cruelly. He was dining one evening at the
same table with a Mrs. Malaprop, whose husband was a lobbyist
in Washington.
“‘I think you are a perfect paragram of politeness, Mr. Wash-
ington,’ said she during a lull.
“‘Pardon me, madam,” said Washington, you mean a paral-
lelogram.’
“‘Why—why, of course—how stupid of me—I meant paral-
lelogram, you know,” she hastened to say, as she blushed a deep
crimson at her mistake.”

ANY stories of the New York Drayton's find their way
M into print, and a visitor from the Empire State, in one of
our hotels for the inauguration, tells the folowing:
“Old Captain Percival Drayton, who was Farragut's chief of
staff during the Civil War,” said he, “used to tell his experinece
with the rough-and-ready man-of-warsmen of that period—the
old shellbacks, who regarded soup and bully, 'scouse and plumduff
as the pieces de resistance of a meal. Drayton was a wealthy
man, and one day celebrated a happy family event by blowing off
his crew to a first-class dinner. Toward its close a committee of
old sea lawyers asked to see the Captain at ‘the mast.’
“‘We want to thank ye, sir,’ said the spokesman, when all had
saluted, ‘fer the elegant feed ye’ve given us, but we think it's only
right to call yer attention to that ship's cook, sir. Just taste this
hash he's worked off on us, sir, on your bounty, sir.’
“They offered Drayton a plate of terrapin stew to sample.”

"P". FROM PARIS,” by George Ade,
“Peggy from
Paris” is coming to the Lafayette Opera House
next week. Critics and public have
united in praising the wit, merriment and originality of the
comedy, and have agreed in their admiration of the music.
“Peggy from Paris” outranks most musical comedies in respect
to story and action. There is really an interesting comedy which
would make an entertaining play even if the music were elimi-
nated. “Peggy from Paris” is particularly strong in interesting
and amusing characters. The types are varied but all are of
unfailing amusement. There are country folk who visit the
city and find its ways strange and mysterious; there are city folk
who have great sport with unsophisticated, guileless rustics;
there are theatrical people and society leaders, men about town
and that element that pursues actresses; there are men and wo—
men of exalted position who display the American weakness of
paying homage to distinguished foreigners, and there are many
other types with which the public is familiar and who are enter-
tainingly caricatured.
EXT WEEK at Chase's, commencing at the
Vaudeville N Monday matinee, March 6th, the polite
vaudeville program prepared with special
reference to the continuation of the inaugural celebration will
present the eminent American operatic basso, Mr. Eugene Cowles,
appearing for the first time at the Chase scale of prices; Rice and
Prevost, in “Bumpety-Bumps,” considered the funniest farce this
season; the noted European aerialist, Mlle. Martha; Frank Gar-
diner and Lottie Vincent, in their original spectacular fantasy,
“Winning a Queen”; Pauline Violi’s troupe of Russian wolf-
hounds; the Messenger Boys' Trio of singers and comedians; Al
Lawson and Frances Namon in comic and scientific bag punch-
ing; and motion pictures of a Darktown raid on a chicken coop.
Chase's has succeeded in securing Albert Chevalier, the famous
English music hall comedian, for a week's engagement here,
commencing at the Monday matinee, March 13th.
Two concerts will be given at Chase's next Sunday, March
5th. One will occur at 3 P. M., at which the principal attraction
will be the famous Republican Glee Club, of Columbus, Ohio.
It numbers 125 voices and participated in the inaugural concerts
of 1897 and IQoI.
The second concert will be given at 8 P. M. Sunday, by the
complete United States Marine Band under Lieut. Director San-
telmann. Eugene Cowles, the eminent American basso, and other
distinguished soloists, have been secured to assist in making the
concert a memorable event.
T'. NEXT lecture in the Burton Holmes
Burton
Holmes series, at the Columbia Theater, takes place
on March 7th, Tuesday afternoon. It will
deal with the Russian Empire, and is particularly apropos at
this time, giving as it does intimate information about the interior
of the Czar's domain from the Baltic to the Yellow Seas.
M. Coquelin has been acting in “L’Abbé Constantin” in Paris,
and apparently has made a great hit. An enthusiast writes to a
London newspaper: “Can the gentle, shy, simple old man be
the same who dashed off the brilliant romanticism of Cyrano
with a voice of brass and a delicious truculence of manner, or
who puts into Mascarille such a delightful spirit of exquisite
fooling P. His Abbé Constantin must, one thinks, have been
born, not made, and have grown up gradually from the days of
his novitiate. He folds his hands reflectively, or makes timid
little gestures with them. He gives polite, awkward, half-fright-
ened curtsies to the ladies. He dozes off after dinner so inno-
cently, and wakes up with such a touchingly guilty look. Every-
thing he says breathes only kindliness. There never was such
a case of getting into the skin of a part’ as Coquelin's Abbé
Constantin.”
Old friends of Mr. Will A. Page, formerly dramatic editor
of the Washington Post, were glad to welcome him back to the
city this week, in his official capacity of advance manager with
Charles B. Dillingham's presentation of Maxine Elliott in “Her
Own Way.” Mr. Page was with Miss Elliott in the same ca-
pacity last year when she appeared at the National, and early
this season was with Mlle. Fritzi Scheff. Now Mlle. Scheff is
MARCH 4, 1905
playing indefinitely in New York, and Mr. Page is back here
again, for which his friends are joyful.
George Ade has contracted with Henry W. Savage to write
a new play, which will be called “The Second Time on Earth.”
It will tell the story of a millionaire who was put into a sanita-
rium by a wayward son, who wished to get control of his cash.
After a time the old man regains his liberty, entirely rejuvenated
by the course of treatment he received. He is, indeed, practically
a younger man than his son. It is easy to see that this idea
might be treated very humorously.
Maude Adams, whose annual earnings as a theatrical star
exceed the salary of the President of the United States, is evi-
dently preparing for a comfortable life when her stage activity
is ended. Last week in New York she purchased the residence
adjoining her home on Forty-first street, and this summer will
remodel both houses so they will be made into one handsome
residence. The combined property is worth over $100,000. The
deeds for the property were recorded in the actress' legal name,
Maude A. Kiskadden.
Miss Maxine Elliott, whose engagement here ends about Io:30
P. M. on March 4th, bought Inauguration Ball Ticket No. 1, and
will be one of the striking beauties in attendance.
- * As originally written, “Merely Mary Ann,” in which Eleanor
Robson appears, had a sad ending. Israel Zangwill was asked
to change it, and did so. Even so great a writer as Ibsen altered
the concluding scene of his play, “A Doll's House,” when a Ger–
man actress requested him to do so, pointing out to him that
her public, at least, preferred to leave the theater in smiles rather
than tears.

While appearing as the plaintiff in an action brought against
Liebler & Co. to recover salary alleged to be due her under a
contract to appear for twenty weeks in “Under Cover,” Annie
Yeamans testified in New York last week that her stage career
began in 1846, when she was Io years old. Fifty-eight years
behind the footliigths Certainly she is a stage veteran.
The production of “The Lilac Room,” in which Maxine Elliott
was to be starred by Charles B. Dillingham, has been postponed
until the fall. “The Lilac Room” is a comedy by B. B. Dix and
E. G. Sutherland.
Musical Events

EMBRICH, the soprano, sang to an audience
Past Events S that packed the National. Sembrich has not
a great temperament, but she is a sincere,
matchless, polished artist. Her art can express joy, sadness,
humor, as in Loewe's “Nieman hat's gesehen.” Her voice is pure
and high and perfect in quality; her breath control is perfect.
Her first group of songs seemed merely a technical exhibition.
In the aria “Ernani Involami” from Verdi’s “Ernani” one saw
indeed the “grand opera star,” for the aria called forth the
singer's broadest and most brilliant style. The last group showed
off the singer's marvelous and varied charms of voice and expres–
sion, and Arditi’s waltz song, “Parla,” made a brilliant and grace-
ful close to the program. Then, when the audience stayed and
clapped and would not go away, the gracious singer pulled off
her gloves and sang Chopin’s “Maiden's Wish” to her own accom-
paniment. One then saw that Sembrich could be a pianist had
she wished.
Mr. Thomas Evans Greene, the local tenor, who assisted Mme.
Sembrich, has a voice wonderfully sweet and rich and light in
quality, but not sufficiently well controlled for the “Cujus Ani-
mam.” His highest notes were rather strained.
NAUGURATION festivities have so absorbed
all time and thought in Washington that the
immediate musical outlook shows few dates.
The next concert now booked is that by Miss Clara Drew, the
contralto, at the Washington Club, on the evening of March 9.
After that comes Alwin Schroeder's 'cello recital, likewise at
the Washington Club. His daughter, Hedwig Schroeder, at the
piano, will assist her father. Mr. Schroeder is the 'cellist of the
Kneisel Quartet and famous for his musicianly feeling and beau-
tiful tone.
Fräulein Marie von Unschuld, the talented Austrian pianist, is
to give a piano recital at the Lafayette Theater on March 16.
This little woman has immense power, brilliant technique, and
exquisite delicacy. Witness her rendition of the Heller etudes.
She is likewise president of the University of Music and Dramatic
Art,
