Designed by .Tnm«>s Hntmti. nn IrUli Arehltert. Who Ueetl nn Irish I'alare for u Model—lt Hm« Maiij- Dlacoui fortn nn Hun Ilocn Deinonntrnled. ; T IS THE DEAR est ambition of every healthy minded American youth to make his « home in the White House. Yet the White House, in und for itself, is not a very magnificent, nor even a very comfortable home. Doubtless it is more magnificent and Msg iiu ; v more comfortiit>lo than the log-cabins hi which Lincoln ami Uarllehl—two of its most eminent occupants—first saw the light of day. Hut doubtless, also, at the period when they crossed its threshold, each had the means to pro vide for himself a homo that would have been far more in accordance with his tastes. I It must be acknowledged, however, j 1 that the White House of to-da.v is a ■ i palace compared with the White House of the past. Yet it was of the White House of the past that Mrs. John , Adams, its first occupant, spoke in 1 glowing terms, writing to her daugh- | ter that “the house is upon a grand ; and superb scale, requiring about thirty servants to attend and keep the j departments in proper order: anestab- j lismncnt very well proportioned to the ■ President's salary." So naive and so ' simple-minded were the great dames ' of our early history! Anti how came it that Mrs. Adams was the first occupant of the White , House? Simply because the seat of ! government was not transferred to | Washington intil towards the close of I her husband's term, November. 1800. i The change had indeed been decided i upon ton years before, and so early as 1792 a prize of 8500 hud been offered for tho best plan for a Presidential mansion. Among the competitors was James tlobnn. u young Irish architect, who had established himself in Charleston and was building tho large, substantial and picturesque un couth houses which still remain the characteristic features of that town. He had not seen much of the world, nor had ho much originality or ver satility of intellect. So in preparing for his master work he took for his model one of the finest houses that had tome within his field of vision, the palace of the Duke of Leinster in Lttb , lin. This in its turn was an imitation ; of the comparatively light nnd airy structures wliicht he Italians learned to build when the rest of Europe was liv ing in massive piles of brick or gloomy fortified castles. An Ainorietin-lrish imitation of nn Irish imitation of it mediaeval Italian villa—such is the in ! telleetual genesis of our Presidential mansion. For, as fate willed it. Mr. Ilobau won the prize. This was attested by the following certificate published in the city of Washington on July 18, 1792: “James Hobatfs plan of the palace being approved by the President, lie is ! entitled to the reward promised nnd . chooses a gold medal of eight or ten guineas value and tho balance in money. James lloban is hereby ro- TIIE WHITE HOUSE AS RESTORED IN 1810. tained in the public service. He is to multi! the drawings and superintend the execution of his plan of the palace, for which he will receive 800 guineas a : year." Notice two things about this eertifi i cate. First, that the compensation for the architect is fixed at about §1,500 a year. Imagine n modern architect un dertaking a great public work for such a sum as that! Then, second, let your i mind rest for a second on the word “palace." Does it not call up all sorts o; associated ideas of royalty and aris ! toeraey and courtly ways? So at least I thought the young itepublic. And ; straightway a great protest went up ; from all over the land at this aping of : foreign fashions. Congress bent be ! fore the storm. It was decided that . the new building should be known as I the “Executive Mansion"—mansion j J being then a term of common use for the better class dwelling of the. South- ! !cm gentry. Exactly when this more stately name was superseded by the popular nickname of the White House . is not known with certainty. On Oct. 1. 1792, the corner-stone of the mansion was laid in a bare field, i ; sloping to the Potomac. Washington j himself was present. It is a pity that i ■ people in those days cured little for ; ( centennial anniversaries. A postpone- | mont of the ceremony just twelve days j j would have given it a certain historical j approDriatenoss. The 13th of October, j i 1792. would have mnrke-.l the tor-ceu- | ■ tennry of the discovery of America. ■ There is n little New England pride as well as bittcrnc-s in the complaint , made bj' Mrs. Adams that “if Inc j twelve years in which this place has ■ been considered as the future seat j of government had been im- ; ! proved, as they would have been if in ! New England,’ very many of the pres- 1 ; ent inconveniences would have been [ removed." Hut she had not much i longer to suffer the inconveniences ; i which she laid at the door of a more j | Southern temperament. At the very | 1 moment when these lines wort! penned r j her husband had been defeated in his attempt to secure a second term, anil on the 4tit of March following he was j I superseded in the White House by a ‘ j Southern gentleman named Thomas I Jefferson. ! Mr. Jefferson was a person of very i simple and Democratic tastes. A ! widower whoso daughters were both married, hs settled himself down to j bachelor comfort in his new quarters, j Hating the pomp and fuss of ceremonial 1 etiquettes, he threw open the doors of j the White House to the public, wel ( coining with special delight artists. I actors, singers anti good bohemians. 1 j During the two terms of his occupancy , of the White House no complaints or 1 protests were heard. He made himself , I at home nnd made all others feel so. Who knows but that there may have : been a secret exultation in Mr. Madi son's breast when, in the year 1814. the i Hritish tinny, under Oen. Uoss and Ad- : mirnl Cocdcburn, having taken posses- j sion of Washington and burned the Capitol, fin lly wound up by setting ! fire to tho Ex eutive Mansion just as they were ..oout to retreat to their ships. One inementoof this liresnrvives to-day—tin: so-called Hilbert Stuart ' portrait of Washington, still hanging i in the East Itoom. now known to be j the work of nn imitator of no special • fame. The story is still told of how | Mrs. Madison cut this picture out of its frame with a pair of shears to save j it from the enemy when she fled from I the town. Tho story is a pretty one, bat it is just as apocryphal as the j ascription of the picture to Gilbert Stuart, In her own letter describing the flight Mm Mnilbon says that Mr. i Custis, Washing!o ■ opbew, hastened | over from Ailinf, 0:1 to rescue the. preciqus portrait, n.. . that a servant, Nt the outer frame with an axe so that 1 the canvas could be removed stretched on the inner frame. When the President's family returned to Washington they rented u house to ' live in while the White House itself was being repaired and reconstructed, lloban, the original architect, was called in to do tin: restoration. When everything was finished the man sion was bigger und grander than be fore. but even yet it was neither big enough nor grand enough for the . greatest offleial of the greatest repub lic in the world. (Jen. Jackson, in spite of—indeed,partly because of—the very democracy of his tastes was during both histerni.su loud inurmurer. Tho rooms were not large enough for the Till: WHITE HOUSE FROM PENNSYLVANIA I AVENUE motley throngs he gathered at his re ceptions. The crowds wedged and ■ pressed him against the walls nnd al- ; most choked the life out of him; ladies j were even carried fainting out of the building. At lust he gave up the pub- ! | lie feeds which had become a feature of his administration, alleging that they were a nuisance to himself ami to his friends nil owing to 'a luck of | proper accommo lations. I From that time on to the present the I discomforts and inadequacies of the White House have been felt more and more severely by ils occupants. The ! ever-increasing needs of the President’s 1 official life have encroached more and j 1 more upon his living apartments, until now of the thirteen up irtments on the I second floor six arc used for tho exeeu j live offices and mile rooms.and two for I dressing rooms, leaving only five be l i chambers. ! A memorable and rather mortifying j occasion, when the exigencies of ti• j President's home were exposed to the gjze of the world at large, was during i the visit of the Prince of Wales to tlii country in 180 i). He had been invited j to spend live days at the White House. ! Huchanan'i. family was one of the 1 smallest that ever dwelt in the White ; House. It consisted only of himself ! and his niece, Miss Harriet Lane. Yet lie was chagrined to find that he would I have to divide tho Prince's suite with 1 the British Minister. '1 he Prince him ! self was stowed away in the little room ; occupied by Mrs. Cleveland as a bou * doir and more recently tin a bedroom by : J Mrs. McKee and her children. '1 he i President gave up hi - own room to the i Duke of Newcastle und found exteia- I porized quarters in one of the public ! • uute-rooms. j Every succeeding President has suf ! fared in something the same way. ‘ | though his sufferings have not been so I publicly displayed. K was only by I I crowding several members of the hottse- J hold into one room that families like ! (lie Grants and the Garth Ids could find : any accommodation whatever to. - , guests. Even President Arthur found I himself uncomfortably ctowded when j exercising hospitality. It was a great annoyance for Mrs. Cleveland, a young bride fond of company, that she could not entertain mure than two gue t . at it time. What was an annoyance to j Mrs. Cleveland was a positive diseom- I fort to r/.rs. Harrison, whose family j occupied every available room in the building. ! One of Mrs. Harrison's first thoughts j when she came to the White House was | to devise some remedy that might re | lievc her successors from the trials j which she had to undergo, tdio poured j out her mind to Mr. Blaine, who j agreed that it was an outrage and a disgrace, that while millions of dollar*. ; had to be spent to kt ep tho National j Capital truly t oon sentattve of a great . people, not a dollar had l»?on voted to make the home *>i the executive : head of that people even approxi mrtely worthy of the dignity which it housed. The proper way out of the difficulty he thought was tho enlargement of the present j building made in accordance with its order of architecture, and the addi tion of wings on each side where the purely ollieiul part of the President's j dutksmight be transferred. Something of thissort had vaguely floated through | I Mrs. Harrison's mind. Encouraged j by tht! Secretary's approval, she be- ; gun to reduce her ideas to order. With 1 I the assistance of Col. John M. Wilson. | I'. S. A., engineer in charge of public i buildings and grounds, anti Mr. i Frederick D. Owens, slit! made a series ■ [ of charcoal drawings, which were sub- ] milted to a Washington architect.-] ! With these drawings sis a basis the ; | architect made a design, which was ! enthusiastically indorsed by Mrs. i Harrison. PATRICK A. COLLINS. . Sketch of t'lnvHiuiil'ji Conaul-Ueticral to London.

SHE RUNS THE PITS. MARY BFCK, CONNECTICUT 3 CHARCOAL BUHNER. One of the Odd Slgliin of New London County—How She I’.ild (»!T a Heavy Mortgage hy llvr Own Intolll»cnco und Industry. NE OF THE «»Dl> sights on the high* j i ways in the north er e s t c r n part of New London Coun- j ty, Conn., is a wom an charcoal burner. T h r e e years ago Miss M ary Beck I was one of the i brightest and come licst ladies to be found in New Lon* #2S) *yr> / ‘ V don County. She was un orphan, and i ever since she was 13 years old had | supported herself by performing house- I hold labor for the farmers in the vicin- | ity of what had been her parents' home. | When Mary was I'.' years old her par- | ents died very suddenly, leaving h r j alone in the world. The farm that i had been her home and which had been in the Heck family for two gener ations was found to be eneumbere 1, ami it was disposed of at Sheriff’s sale. The Heck farm was a valuable piece of property. There were a great many acres of birch and maple forest t nit were very valuable for tho purpose of charcoal. Five years ago Mary was a farmer's servant, and during that time WATCHING THE CHARCOAL PITS. HAM IHMI lur. I IIAIiI UAI, 111-*. Whitson, the proprietor of the Hock farm, sued for her hand in marriage. The man was ten years older than Mary, but the girl accepted his suit with favor and they became betrothed. Two weeks before they were to lx married a tree fell on Whitson, while he was in the woods chopping and killed him outright. The blow tem porarily affected Mary's mind, but she eventually recovered. Among Whitson's el Verts a will wa.~. found bequeathing to Mary Deck all of his real aud personal property. There were no relatives to oppose the will, but there was a mortgage of S 2.():);) or. the farm that must be satisfied. Ter haps one reason why Mary so readily promised to become the wife of Whit son was that she had always had an ambition to some day return to her old home. This desire she frequently expressed to her acquaintances. When Whitson died, it looked as it the girl would fail to accomplish her purpose; but she rose equal to the emergency. She arranged with the mortgagee to assume the payment of the obligation, and to il: up her resi dence on the farm. The young woman had no ready money to carry out her plans, so she placed a second mortgage on the place and by that means s - cured §SOO. With nit indebtedness of §2,500 on her shoulders she went at work to redeem the old homestead. For two years she burned charcoal and sold it in the towns in the county a: eessible to her with a team. Charcoal burning is work that has very many unpleasant features. Mr - Berk employed choppers to cut the wood, and, under her superintendence, thej' built the coal pits. When the coal pit is fired it requires attention day and night until the woo l is all charred. The coal pit cannot be : to itself longer than four hours with out great danger of its being rendered worthless through the charcoal and th i wood getting abki/.e, in which ease it is burned to ashes. Miss Heck em ployed n boy to attend to the stock anil do the chores. She went into the woods two miles from any habitation | und watched the coal pits. It requires from a week to ten days ; to burn the average coalpit, and she so arranged it that as soon us one was finished another one was ready to be ! fired. In tho spring, when the roads . become passable, she took the charcoal ; to town and sold it for 15 cents a bushel. The average coalpit yielded I 100 bushels of coal, for which she re ceived §ls. On last New Year’s Miss Heck paid the last dolliir of the encumbrances on her place. In three years she had. by her own energy, redeemed the Heck homestead and now holds it free of debt in her own name. It has cost her a good deal of hard work, and her face shows signs of the battle that she has fought, but she i* i still an attractive woman, not yet twenty-two years old, with a hea l full of plans for the future that, if earrie I out. will make her independently wealthy within ten years. Miss Heck has had repeated offer: from men to marry her and eondut l i the affairs of the farm, bfltsho frankly says that she believes herself enpabi I of conducting her own business beta r 1 than any man that she ever saw. nnd has no idea of taking unto hers’-l: a ■ matrimonial partner. The woman has a fad. She is pu - sianately fond of iron working, und in this shows a great deal of skill and in i genuity. She has it forge and large variety of tools used in the working of , iron. Sliedoes all the necessary black ! finithing for her farm excepting the heaviest work. CARTER H. HARRISON. Tlie Man Who Is Running for Worbt’i* fair Mayor of Clilea^o.

It is expected that thousands of visitors to the World's Fair will conic on to St. Louis every day during the sum mer and fall. The beer war is over. The attempt to create a diversion of trade by cut ting k; price in half has not proved a success, and no one regri t> greatly the return to what are regarded as living rates. The‘enormous breweries in tho South End did not meet the cut and claimed that the falling off in business so far as they were concerned was en tirely nominal. However this may be. tho relations between the owners of the various breweries seem to Le very friendly and an immense volume < 1 business is being transacted. The same is true generally of almost a.J manufacturers in the city, long hours and continual working at hard pressure being common. Most of the candidates who were pledged to help the wheelmen to im prove the streets of tho city and in other ways assist bicycling were elected. The wheelmen’s movement was a novel one in politics, but it car ried about three thousand votes with it, and was altogether so successful that the political organization will be kept up. Among tho first tl it the wheelmen will aslc from tin- fr end whom they have helped to elect will I be a race track in Forest l’ark. T h*-r*.- is now a speeding track tuere for trot ting nnd pacing horses, but it is eon trolled by an association whose offi cers do not sympathize with the wheel men, and do not allow thi m to use it. The result of their application will be either that, they get om* of the fast st tracks in the country built in the park for the exclusive use of bicycles or t t<* horsemen will be ordered to share the present track with them. The Assemblymen of the city have decided not to appropriate the 5?25,000 that was wanted to make u statue of Gen. Sherman for the main entrance of the new City Hull. This was a d .- appointment to the friends of tl: ■ movement, but it will not result in the plans being abandoned.
