New York Sun Special Service.
Altoona, Pa., June 28.Little Wal
lace Moore, aged 8, barefooted and rag
ged, with rare presen'ce of mind for one
of ins years, saved a passenger tram
on the Tyrone division of the Pennsyl
vania railroad from certain disaster
and probably prevented injury if not
death to 128 persons.
The lad, while placing about the rail
road tracks which run near his home,
Woticed that a switch leading to a spur
at the end of which was an embank
ment, had been opened. Hastening to
a clear stretch ox road, he stationed
himself in the middle of the tracks and
breathlessly awaited the approach of
the tram. He swung his arms and
grabbed his hat and madly waved it.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, June 28.Upon his re

will sign a United States Treasury
warrant for $1,700,000 in favor of
President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
railroad in payment for the site of the
New York postoffice at Eighth avenue
Thirty-first and Thirty-third between streets.
The new postoffice will be upon the
surface and beneath will be the rail
road station. President Cassatt desires
to give the government a title to the
surface of the site and as far beneath
it as the foundation of the structure
extends. The government wanted a
title in fee simple without any reserva
tions. The question -was referred to the
attorney general, who has held that the
title the railroad desires to give will
protect the government and nis view
will be accepted by the treasury and
postoffice departments.

PAYOR PENSIONS
TO EX-PRESIDENTS
McCleary Would Not Raise the
Salary of the Pres-
ident.
Washington, June 28.Representative
James H. mcCleary of Minnesota, who
expects to be the chairman of the ap
propriations committee in the nlext
house, does not believe in an increase in
the president's salary, but would look
with favor upon giving all ex-presidents
a retirement pension*. He calls atten
tion to the few ex-presidents whom we
have at any one time, ami so to the
small drain on the treasury which such
an outlay would constitute. General
Hayes, who lived until 189S was, for
much of the time after Arthur's death
in 1886, the only living ex president,
just as Mr. Cleveland is now.
At the outbreak of the civil war.
Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan were all living, bu this was a
most remarkable assemblage of ex
presidents, seemingly preserved that
they might witness the great tragedy of
war, whose causes they had seen so long
grow. When Lafayette visited this
country in 1824 he found every presi
dent except Washington living. But
they do not survive so long now.
Cheaper in the Old Days.
It was cheaper maintaining the White
House, the old days of the $25,000
salary, than now. The Virginia presi
dents brought their slaves with them to
he White House, and maintained much
the dignity of the old regime. They
ioe gathered from the Potomac,
hich came much nearer the mansion's
alls than now.
The whole establishment was simple
ompared with the present White House.
Jt was not lighted by gas until 1848,
and fireplaces did not give way to a
general system of heating until 1863.
But that occupants in the days of its
simplicity lived poorly by comparison
with our own times is not supported by
the records. Jefferson, who made the
gieatest leputation for simplicity,
seems to have played to the galleries \a
some extent, and not to have been so
democratic as his biographers would
have the present generation believe.
Dolly Madison's Regime.
Dolly Madison''s regime at the White
House was an epoch-maker in establish
ing standards of etiquette. This was in
some part due to her selection of Jean
Pierre Sioussat, a young Frenchman, as
master of ceremonies. Dinner parties
and receptions occurred weekly, and in
addition the president held levees. One
celebrated institution of this period was
the "do ve parties" which Mrs. Madi
son started with a view to bringing the
ladies of the cabinet into more iriendly
relations.
There seems to have been some re
lapse from these standards of entertain
ment in the succeeding administrations.
The National Intelligencer gives the ac
count of a reception in Monroe's time
which, while smacking of partizan hos
tility, doubtless reflects the direction in
which things were tending. I says:
A Monroe Reception.
The secretaries, senators, foreign min
isters, consuls, auditors, aocountants, of
ficers of the army and navy of every
grade, farmers, merchants, tradesmen,
priests, lawyers, Judges, governors and
nothingarians, all with their wives, and
some with their gawky offsprings, crowd
to the president's every Wednesday
evening some in shoes, most in boots,
and many in slippers, some snuffing,
others chewing, apd many longing for
their cigars and whisky punches left at
home some with powdered heads, others
frizzled and oiled, and some whose
heads a comb had never touched, a few
hid by dirty collars reaching far above
their heads and as stiff as pasteboard
The demands in entertaining keep
pace with everything else. No longer
ago than Pierce's time, the president
liked to have acquaintances, especially
from New Hampshire, who chanced to
be in the city, drop to pass the even
ing with him. Tyler used to sit about
his fireplace waiting for the New York
mail which arrived late in the evening.
Would Amaze Old-Timers.
Old-time entertainers would be
amazed to see the coatrooms today at
the White House containing boxes for
2.500 wraps and umbrellas, and to know
tnat these facilities are taxed to their
utmost on many receptions. The old
state diningroom, into which sixty per
sons could be squeezed, became so small
that the table was often set in the
corridor, until the recent renovation,
when, by absorbing the west end of the
corridor itself, the diningroom was
made to accommodate 107, which is
none too many. This restored White
House has an electric plate warmer, an
electric dumbwaiter running from the
kitchen to the butler's pantry, and all
other appliances of a high-class modern
residence.
President Arthur Lavish.
President Arthur was a lavish enter
tainer. He dined all members of con
gress in squads. A few men were left
out who, for one reason or another,
would find it embarrassing to accept,
and impossible, under the conditions, to
decline.
President Hayes did not serve wines
at his dinners, a circumstance which
prompted Mr. Evarts, in coming away
from one of them, to say that the water
flowed like champagne. I is sometimes
forgotten that Hayes did have wine at
one diplomatic dinner. Mr. Evarts in
sisted on it, saying that this was not
Hayes' dinner, but that of the head of
the American people, and so sherry was
poured. Hayes himself used to take a
glass of wine outside of his own house.
His policy as an entertainer was due to
his beloved wife, whose picture now
hangs in one of the parlors, as a gift
of fne W. C. T. U.
Lincoln Administration.
The Lincoln administration, great as
it was in the larger historical aspects,
marked no social revolution at the
White House. He was not much of a
drawing-room man, and entertained as
conventionally as possible. The death
of MB little Willie threw a gloom over
the mansion, and this, with the storm
and stress, made anything: like lavish
entertainments seem wholly out of
place.
Life at the White House under Grant
was purely domestic, and the old man
sion never looked more homelike. This
was true of +he brie a-brac, and of the
flowers in the conservatory. I fell to
them, however, to entertain more dis
tinguished people and scions of royalty
than any other occupants of the White
House before them. Among these were
the duke of Edinburg^he Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia, and KingKalakaua, as
well as the first Japanese and Chinese
ministers to come here after the sign
ing of the Burlingame treaty. While
neither President nor Mrs. Grant were
considered conversationalists, one of
the frequent visitors testifies today that
no one ever partook of their hospitality
who was not charmed by their sin
cerity and unpretentious cordiality.

Defective Page
in Grant's Time.
The public receptions in Grant's time
became "mobs," as they remained till
certain reforms which were made in
McKinley's time. Invitations were ex
tended to each member of congress, and
to other men, "with ladies," and this
resulted in such a preponderance of the
latter as to suggest that all the male
occupants of a block must have been
left at home alone that aiohi.
THE "COLUMBUS'"

led him in another direction, Harri
son's administration was prevented
from becoming gay socially by reason
of the extraordinary number of deaths
