STORY is being
told in Washing-
ton showing the
Idemocratic taste
Ijjlj and habits of the
White House fam-
ily. When it was
decided to send
the second Roose-
velt boy to the
public schools an assignment was
given a reporter of a paper that has
to illustrate its news matter, to get a
picture of the youngster entering the
school building. So the photographic
reporter stationed himself near the
front door of Force School, on Massa-
chusetts avenue and awaited the com
mg of the White House carriage with
Sts precious load. An hour after the
opening hour the watcher gave up the
job, having taken no notice of the
first lady of the lady, who had walked
with her boy from the White House,
■entered the building, saw him properly
■enrolled and seated, and departed in
the same unobtrusive manner. The
second day the watcher was just as
unsuccessful, for the youngster dashed
into the grounds on a bicycle and was
behind the fence in the yard before
lie could be identified. And the third
day it was no better. On that occa-
sion he rode up in an express wagon
and from it vaulted the fence into the
yard, still unspotted by the camera
fiend. With that the reporter gave up
the job.
Mrs. Roosevelt has ordered a large
Supply of linen from Porto Rico for
use in the White House. All of it will
be embroidered with the coat of arms
of the United States. While in New
York Mrs. Roosevelt became much in-
terested in the work of the Porto
Rican women, and wishing to assist
the enterprises of the island, as well
as secure rare linen for the White '
.House, she gave the order.

Austin, Tex., Jan. 10.—As already
stated, the case of the state against the
Shippers’ Compress and Warehouse
company of Fort Worth took a new
turn. The suit had been instituted in
the district court here by Attorney
General Bell for forfeiture of the char-
ter of the company and for the recov-
ery of penalties for alleged violation
of the anti-trust law. District Attor-
ney Warren Moore made a motion to
be allowed to represent the state to the
the exclusion of the attorney general
so far as the question of recovering
penalties was concerned. Judge Frank
Morris indicated that he would hold
that the district attorney’s motion was
well taken. The

attorney general
then announced that he proposed to
manage this case himself without the
assistance or interference of any one,
and in order to do this he dismissed
the case so far as the forfeiture of the
charter was involved. He immediate-
ly thereafter instituted another suit
against the same company, seeking a
forfeiture of its charter alone.
This suit is one which is attracting
a great deal of attention, as the issues
involved are recognized by the legal
profession as being of the greatest im-
portance. The question is as to wheth-
er or not a corporation which buys up
competing property for the purpose of
suppressing competition is guilty of
violating the anti-trust law. It will be
seen how far-reaching a decision in
this case might be. If it should be held
that the act of a corporation in doing
what the defendant in this case is
charged is " the violation of the law,
many concerns in the state are guilty
of the same offense.
Fort Worth, Tex./ Jhn. 9.—The fol-
lowing general order was given out at
the headquarters of the Texas Division
United Confederate Veterans:
General Order No. 22.—1. The major
general commanding announces that
the date for the next general reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans’
association, to be held at Dallas, Tex.,
bas been, by the general commanding,
fixed for April 22, 23, 24 and 25, 1902.
2. Insomuch as this reunion is to be
held within the bounds of this division,
it is especially necessary that each of
the five brigades in the division be at
once thoroughly organized and put in
condition to take part in said reunion
in such manner as will be creditable
to our great state; and, to this end, the
brigadier general commanding the sev-
eral brigades of the division are hereby
directed to use every exertion possible
to have the complete muster rolls of
each and every camp of their brigades
dropped dead at

Ambassador and Mrs. Choate were
conspicuous figures at the social func-

were assiduous in making visits. The

his stay at the capital.
Foremost in our higher national leg-
islative body is, of course, the Presi-
dent Pro Tempore of the Senate, Mr.
Frye, senior senator from the state of
Maine. William Pierce Frye was born
at Lewiston, in the state he now so
inbly represents, on the second day of
September, 1831. He served in the
42d, 43d, 44th, 45th, 46th and 47th con-
gresses, and was elected to the United
States Senate in 1881 to fill the va-
cacy caused by the resignation of Hon
James G. Blaine, and has served con-
tinuously in the latter body since that
time. He was re-elected to the Senate
last year to serve another term begin-
ning with March 4, 1901.
No more prominent, persistent and
earnest advocate of subsidies to the
merchant marine than Senator Frye
lives. His whole mind and being are
centered up this important subject
an he says in no uncertain tone that
a ship subsidy bill shall pass Congress
at this session. A grizzled old fighter,
he commands the earnest attention of
the Senate always.
Senator Frye is, besides being Pres-
ident Pro Tempore of the Senate
chairman of the committee on com-
merce, one of the most important of
the standing committees of the upper
house. During the last session he had
charge of the river and harbor bill
carrying appropriations amounting to
more than seventy millions of dollars
Mrs. Roosevelt held a largely attend-

The Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus-

habits, says London M. A. P. At 6
o’clock in the morning he takes his
breakfast, consisting of some cold
meat, coffee and fresh made bread and
cake. Between 12 and 1 o’clock he
takes his dejeuner, two dishes of meat
and some ordinary pastry. Dinner is
served at 6 o’clock sharp. All his
meals are served in his library at bis
writing desk. Not even a tablecloth is
spread. His personal valet on duty
receives the dishes in an antechamber
on a large tray, and puts the tray , be-
fore the emperor at his desk. Very
often the emperor takes a spoonful of
soup between two signatures. He is a
very busy man. The emperor does not
care much for wine. He prefers a
glass of beer. Nor docs he indulge In
