WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.] t
The president was waited upon the
other day by Representative Maynard
of Virginia and Henry St. G. Tucker,
president of the Jamestown exposition.
They told him of the stivtus of the ex
position and of their hope that congress
would see fit to give them what had
been asked for.
“We appeared before the committee
on industrial arts and expositions of
the house recently,” said Mr. Tucker,
“and we were given n most cordial
hearing. I laid before the committee
some of the facts in our plan to have
1,000,000 two dollar silver pieces coined
for the exposition, i assured the com
mittee that it was not our desire that
this money should cost the government
a single cent. We estimate that the
silver to coin 1,000,000 two dollar silver
pieces and the cost of the work gener
ally would be about $1,200,000. We are
perfectly willing to pay tills to the gov
ernment, receiving the profit of $800,
000, or whatever the coins would bring.
“This would be an enormous help to
us and would insure the complete suc
cess of the exposition. Outside of this
the government is asked for appropria
tions for buildings and exhibits of its
own; for the erection of suitable piers
for the navies of the world that are to
take part in the grand naval demon
stration and for other things, but not a
dollar of the amount asked for goes to
help the exposition.”
Woman For Lighthouse Keeper.
At the request of a delegation of
Alexandria people the president decid
ed that he would direct the lighthouse
service to make Mrs. Margaret Green
wuuu Keeper oi uie iiguuiouse sxi Jones
tpoint, near Alexandria. Mrs. Green
wood’s husband was the faithful keep
er of the lighthouse for forty years. He
died recently. For years before he died
the work was really performed by Mrs.
Greenwood, who understands every
feature of the duty. The lighthouse of
ficials, however, were about to put In
a man. When the facts were laid be
fore the president he immediately an
nounced his faith in Mrs. Greenwood’s
ability to hold the place.
John Brown Celebration.
John Brown's fight with Missourians
at Osawatomie, Kan., in August, 1850
out in Kansas they call it the battle of
Osawatomie—is to be celebrated Aug.
30. The celebration will be on a
much larger scale than any time in
the past. Itepresentative Scott of Kan
sas called on the president the other
day to invite him to be present on the
occasion, but the president was com
pelled to decline.
Ontpnt of Gold In Alaska.
Senator Piles of Washington recently
presented at the White House W. H.
Parsons, president of the Washington
National Bank of Alaska, *nd Falcon
Joslin, president of the Tauana Mines
railroad, both of Fairbanks, Alaska.
Messrs. Parsons and Joslin made the
trip from Fairbanks to Valdes In the
dead of winter, traveling over the ice
on sleds. They say that the winter
was the coldest in many years.
Mr. Parsons says that the output of
gold from the gold fields around Fair
banks during the present year will be
between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000.
The export of gold last year amounted
to $7,000,000.
Flower* For tlie Suburbs.
The division of public buildings and
grounds of the war department, of
which Colonel Charles S. Bromwell is
the head, has decided to plant flower
beds in certain parkings and vacant
tracts belonging to the government in
the suburbs.
Heretofore the division of public
buildings find grounds has attended to
the annual improvement and planting
of flower beds in the parks and grounds
within the city proper, but as a result
largely of petitions from suburban res
idents and also of the fact that the di
vision Is at present in a position to ex
tend its activities, having within the
last several months propagated nearly
2,000,000 plants In addition to the reg
ular stock, it has been definitely decid
ed to give some attention to the sub
Extensive Greenhouses.
The gardens and greenhouses of the
division are so well stocked that there
is always an excess of flowers. After
supplying the White House with enor
mous quantities of flowers there are
still entire greenhouses filled with lilies
of the valley, azaleas, etc., awaiting
the next great official function.
Colonel Bromwell will have an enor
mous flower bed in the middle of the
newly reclaimed Potomac flats. Bor-,
ders of flowering and ornamental
plants will also be planted extensively,
on the flats. The honeysuckle plants
for the embankment of the approach to
the new Highway b-idge are to be
planted as soon as the weather will
permit.
President Has Heir Honor.
President Koosevelt has had a new
and unexpected honor conferred upon
1dm. It is the naming of a new vari
ety of Indian gourd “the Roosevelt
gourd.” A specimen of this fragrant
vegetable was given to him a few
days ago, and the president expressed
the same pleasure at receiving it as if
it had been of much greater intrinsic
value. The presentation was made by
Rev. H. R. Lookabill of Baltimore,
whose father, Alfred Lookabill of
Crawfordsville, Iud., is the greatest
gourd raiser In the world. The elder
r AAi-oV.ni ___a i_
the first specimen of this new variety
produced by him. The gourd is known
ns the sugar bowl variety by reason of
the fact that it is about the same shape
and size as a sugar bowl. It has four
armlike projections upon which spoons
can be hung. The present was, to say
the least, a novelty. The grower of
gourds has produced more varieties
than ever known and makes a business
of experimenting in that direction.

swept down upon it destroying some £3,000,000.00
