Palms, pandenus and other tropical trees and plants of immense size and beautiful 2ppearance have recently been removed frcm the White House conservatory and taken to the pension office, where they will find shelter for the winter. The pension building court now presents the appearance of some great botanical garden, or, rather, @ corner in an East Indian forest. The object of removing so many trees from the White House conservatory is to make room for the Marine Band, which, during receptions to be held during the win- ter, will be stationed in that part ef the conservatory which adjoins the Executive Mansion. About twenty-five of the finest specimens have been sent to the pension office, which will leave ample room to ac- commodate the band. Tne space formerly ocenpied by the musicians will be utilized as a hat room during receptions. The state dining room was fcrmerly used for that purpose. This, it is thought, will be a de- cided improvement cver the former ar- rangement. Not only will it provide more room for the visiting public, but the music will be goftened and better modulated coming from the conservatory than when the band played in the former location, where the close walls made the reverbera- tion at times quite harsh and unpleasant to the average ear. Some of the palms are rapidly outgrow- ing the White House conservatory, and plans have been made to accommodate them. Congress will be asked, during the coming session, to appropriate funds for a larger greenhouse, among other needed 1m- provements to the Executive Mansion. ‘the plans include the construction of a dome in the center of the conservatory, forty feet high, of oval form, and fifty feet lonz. This is considered of quite moderate dimensions, in view of the fact that some of the palms have a spread of nearly thiriy feet, and are growing faster now than ever before during their existence. There will, of course, be no lack of room for these trees to spread in the pension office. The task of keeping them watered and otherwise properly groomed and cared for during their stay there will be attended to by experts in the employ of Col. Bing- ham. Mr. Pfister, the head gardener of tne White House, who is well versed in the difficult science of indoor culture of palms, has promised to occasionally look after his new colony of trees in person, and it 1s be- lieved that they will safely pull through until next spring, when they will Ye re- turred to their old quarters. Once Owned by Washington. Among the trees sent over to the pension office is one of great historic interest. It is a sago palm, botanically known as Cycas revoluta, and has the distinction of having once been in the possession of George Washington. Although is only about ten feet in height, it is over 200 ears old, and its great is plainly own by its appearance. tried to get a complete erable relic, but has only succeeded in de- termining that it was presented to Wash- ington by a wealthy merchant of Balti- more. It came from the Island of Cuba and was already a very old tree when brought over by the merchant, who owned 2 vessel plying between Havana and Balti- the tree it more. It is not known when it was brought over, nor is the name of the merchant now known. The tree od at Mount Vernon and again found its way c o Ba Washington having pre- sented it to a lady living in that city. There it remained unti! about fifty years ago, when the last owner of it died. At the sale of the owner's estate the Wash- ington sago was bought by the head gar- dener of the White House, and it has stood in the green house there ever since. It is one of the most interesting relics of the great Washington, and bids fair to survive several generations to come. Although handled with extreme care during its re- moval. erat of the beautiful, feathery y broken off from , thin crown. ‘This, however, will t injure the tree to any serious » will be taken, however, that re sure to come to see the know where it is will not handle or even touch the relic while it is in the care of the and all the watchmen there have received strict instructions to that ef- feet. Other Trees Needing Protection. There are other trees that might properly be labeled “hands off.” One is a large cin- namon tree, whose fragrant leaves would soon fall a prey to public curios they not protected. Prebably finest specimen of all isa magnificent palm known as Sabal umbraculifera, a native of South America. This tree resembles the palmetto of the south. but is much hand- somer than is often seen in the open forest there. Superintendent Barnes now has an op- portunity to exercise his artistic skill in ar- ranging the various trees and plants around the basin in the great court. and it is be- lieved that when he and Commissioner Evans carry out their plans the. pension office will be one of the favorite, and cer- tainly one of the most attractive, places for visitors during the winter. ——— ENGLISH SYNDICATE. Said to Have Purchased the Midland Pacific Franchise. The London American of November 12 has the following relating to the railroad of which Senator Pettigrew is president: “Colonel Byron G. Daniels, who was our consul at Hull during President Harrison's administration, returns to New York on the St. Louis tomorrow, after having success- fully concluded the mission which brought him to this country in July last, as the rep- resentative of the Midland Pacific railway. The result of Colonel Daniels’ work here during the past four months will be the taking over by a London syndicate of the Midland Pacitic’s franchise and property, and the construction of another great nscontinental railway in the United ates. The road will traverse the country lying between Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and the city of Seattle, Wash., crossing the Black Hills region and the Yellowstone Park, covering a distance of 1,650 miles.” en For the Children's Hospital. The members of St. Mary’s Guild are busily engaged in rehearsing for the pre- sentation of the operetta, ‘Pauline, the Belle of Saratoga,” which will be given the evening of December 8 at the National Rifles’ armory, on G street between 9th and 10th streets. The cast will hold a rehears- al this evening at Linthicum Hall, at which the players for the occasion will be select- ed. In all there will be thirty-six charac- ters, six im leading roles, the remainder constituting the chorus. In the ranks of the latter will be a number of society young ladies, who are offering their serv- feces for charity. The operetta will be presented for the benefit of the Chilaren’s Hospital, and will be under the direction of Miss Virginia Powell Goodwin. Miss Goodwin takes the part of Pauline, who is the belle of Sara- toga. The other leading parts are taken by Miss Eleanor Simonds, as Clara Rivers; Fred H. Leetch, as George Ardent; W. C. Looker, as Sir Charles Grandiswell; S. Percy Thompson, as Capt. Western, and Lawrence Reed, as Wash, the old darkey servant. The staging of the operetta wiil be under the direction of Prof. E. B. Hay. Mrs. McKinley, the wife of the Presi- dent, ard Mrs. Sherman are patrons, and nearly all of the cabinet ladies will be represented at the entertainment. —— Woman Suffrage Association.
