C., June 1.—|Spocial Cor- espondence of Tue Bee. |—A great presiden- tial battle is at hand and the white house is the medal to be awarded the wianer. For the noxt six months it will be the most im- postant of all the bulldings of the United BStates in the eyes of the public and it is in- teresting to know just what ivis. Public men say the bouse 1s eotirely too swmall, but 1 notice those who get in seldom want to zet out, and all who are out are mighty anxious togetin, Dawvid Hill, bachelor as beis, thinks that Harrson's bed, which 1s six feet wide, would justsuit him, and his frugal ‘bachelor meal could be as well cooked on the great ranges of the white house kitchen as upon those of the Arlington where he is stop- pilog. Mrs, Harrison says the nousoe ought to have double the number of rooms it hus now, but she has not yet porsuaded the pres- fdeat 1o mive it up st the close of his term, and as for Qullom, McKinley, Tom Reed and John Shérman, they are boiling their orains might aud duy to see 1f they cannot get a lease of the mansion for the next four years. Itis the same with tne leading democcatic candi- dates in all parts of the country. Boles of Jowa is reudy to throw up his farm, Palmer of Illinois would resign from the senate, and Gray of Indisoa thinks the white house ‘would just it him, It is the same with Gro- wer Cleveland and be knows all about it for he spont bis honeymoon there, and bis wife ®nows the establishment from the kitchen to the attic, ‘What the Presidency Amounts To, The presidency of the Umited Statesis worth more than most people suppose. They look upon the fat salary of $30,000 a year which oar chief executive gats as his sole revenuo and every now and then some news- paner states that it costs all of this and more %o keep up the establishment. I dou't believe aword of it. Nearly every president saves money while he is in the white house and the sxtras which the president gets aro nearly oqual to his salary every year. He pays no rent in the first place, and he has a furnished bouso free. He bas nothiug to lay out on light or heat, for Uncle Sam pays bis gus biils and no can ha wood fire in every roow in his house from morning tll midnight wnd it will not cost him a cent. He has a grand conservatory for mothing wna the choicest of flowers are cut and placed in his ¥oom, and his tables are decorated with roses 1o the middle of wiuter. Tho country kecps up bis library and he has as many servants ®s bd can use. He mever needs tu write 8 letter himself and his hagh-priced private secrotary keaps the crowd away from bim, ®ad he bas stevographers and clerks at bis ©ook und call. He uever needs to open his ©own door and if be wishes to shave it will be strange if one of the colored boys wbout ihe exocutive mausion canuof skilfully bandle b6 razor. The stables which Uncle Sam bas Built lor Lim wre a8 fine as wasy & bouse snd The cost of keeping up the white house, including the president’s salary, is more thau $160,000 a yesr and, notwithstanding the ofiicial troubles of his position, its cccupant ought to be bappy. A Magnificent Mansion, 1 have seen many of the fine houses of the United States, but the white house has some advantages over all and it ought to make a very comfortable home. Its rooms are all large and the ceilings of the first floor must be nearly twenty feet high. The windows are big and the house is perfectly well veati- lated and thouglh there are said Lo ba rats in the basement there is no damp or musty smell about it. The grounds surrounding 1t are filled with old forest trees in which the birds are now sirging their spring songs, ana the backyard, which counlains many acres, is rollins and it has all the natural beauties of hill and hollow, and in the center of a wide stretch of velvery lawn.there1s a beautiful fountain which casts up a spray of silver and diamonds into the face of the ‘Washington sun, und the view from the rear of the mansion is one of the finest of the Uuited States. Looking over & bezauuful park you see the silvery Potomac winding in and out of its islands of ereen and beyond 1t riso the hilis of Virginia already covered with verdure. To the left the great obelisk known as the Washingtou monument touches the sky with thealuminium nail of its massive white marble tinger and across the river are the flags of Fort Myer and the old yellow house of Arlington where George Washing- ton lived with the widow Custis before the white house was built. The White House as It Is. But let me give you a description of the white house In plaii commonsense words, The people really know but little about it and the pictures published of it give only its outlines. Itstands, you know, in front of a beautirul park which when Washingtoa city was & village was used as a raco track, but which is now full of fine old forest trees. ‘A'bere is @ big iron fence fully ten feet high between the frout yard and the street and the driveways which lead up to the frout door are of the shapeof a half woon, and pavements of flag as wide as the ordinary city sidewalk ruu slong these to the porte cocuere. This pavement is well kept, but tbo asphalt is cracked in places and in the summer it almost blisters your feet under the sun. The white house itseif covers about one-third of an acre, Itis a long, low two-story building with & basewent, which at the frout is almost flush with the sidewalk sud at the back is level with the lawn and forms almost a third story to the mansion. You all know that the white house 1s of a dazzling enastly white,but it has not that rick mellow tint of white marble and it: color 1s produced by white lead. The build- ing is wade of sandstone and it bas beeu paintod aguin and again until in some places itis said that the white lead upon 1t is act- ually & quarier of an iuch thick, Tue buila- ing was modeled after a castle in Dublin and when it was first built it cost $300,000 and since then about §1,700,000 have boen spent upon it o that the tolal coat of it today 1s sowothing like $2,000,000. Tbis seems a great deal of money, but as you go through it you seo that but little was wasted, Hlow You Get Tuto the White House, The entrance to the mansion is worth & de- scription. ‘The Dorte cochers has & roof v held by great stoue columus, each s big around as & flour barrel, ana 1t covers a stone platforu or porch so lurge that it would fur- nish the foundation of the ordioary seaside cottage. In the middle of this porch ve- tween two great windows are the front doors of the white house. These are double doors of highly polished walnut sod into each door a8 set an oval piece of vlate glass with panels of mo- saic glass about it and through these the doorkeopers can se8 who wish 10 enter and, ifthey are dangerous cranks, can refuse to open the doors, 1a one of these d atos & card bengs. card is made of tin and in letters is puinted: “Open 10 upoa it a Closed 2 p. 1. Tue while Louse is must see the president you maustuse the door-bell. The aoor-bell is of brouze and like the door-knobs it was especially designed for the white house. ''hese door-knobs are each 2s big around as » base ball and they have a screaming American eagle cut into each of tneir brass faces. Passing these doors you come into the vestibule and this is a vesti- | bule with o capital V. It is so big that you could turn a wagon load of hay around in 1t without wuching the walls and the celing is 50 high that the man who arove the wagon could stand up and his head would not glaze it. Atthe backof it Is a wall of the finest of glass mosaic. It is made of precivus stones and colored giass and crystal and at night it shines like the jewels of the co of Monte Christo. The fioor 1s of mosaic and these beauties come out in strikiug contrast to some of their surroundings. There 1s for 1n- stance at the further door of the vestibule through which vou pass to g0 up to the pres- dent’s office, a §2 wainut umorells stand and the wooawork of the room you see is gralned to represent black walnut and is by no meacs genuine. Against the wall there are a cou- ple of §3 wicker chairs in which the messen- gers sit, for this room 1s for half the day pub- lic property. The President's Parlors. The parlors of the white bouse are on the ground floor though there are enough rooms on the second floor 1o give a place for a sit- tingroom aud the bedrooms are so big and so airy and have such beautiful views that any ordinary mortal could sit in them without getting the blues. Of the parlors below stuirs only the east room is shown o visitors and 1t i5 here that tho president holds his noon roceptions. This is perhaps the biggost par- lor in the United States and it is & wonder of magnificence. Its walls are of silver and gilt and in them are set eight massive mir- rors, each of wkick is as big as the tops of two billiard tables placed side by side, uud your foot sinks almost up to the ankle in the rich velvet carpet which covers the floor. This room is eighty feot long and forty feot wide avd it \akes ‘more than 400 yaads to carpet it. The furuiture is cushioned with genuine bair and it is covereqd with the finest of satin. This room is now lighted by elec- tricity and there are in the neighborhood of a thousand incandsscont lights in the mau- sion. The chandeliers in toe east room cost #,000 apiece and each contaias 6,000 pieces of the finest Bonemiaa glass. Historic paint- 10gs haug upon the walls and the portraits which look down at you have cost Uncle Sam in the neighborhood of §25 au iuch, Rooms Fapered With Siik. Most of these parlors of the white house have beeu greatly improved since the prosi- deut was elected. T'he blue parlor has been redecorated by Tiffauy and the entire wall 1s pow draped in a blue gray silk, five enough to make & ball dress for a wmillion- aire's asughter, and this silk was made at Patterson, N, J. Silk curtaios hang at the windows and there is a dado about tbe lower part of the wall, which is bandpainted, and the mouldings are tinged with gold. The room has the sume blue tint that it had be- fore, but ucder the electric Light it looks far finer than it did when Dolly Madison used to recelve within it and when Harriet Lane here held ber receptions. Iu addition to this is the red parlor which is furnished through- out in red sud bas fine farniure and many curious pieces of rare bric-a-brac. The green roow Las boeen redecorated and the pink of tbe peachblow and a touch of gilt bas been added to it. The furniture is of gold sad satiu and the long promenade corridor with its portiaits of the presidents of the pust bas beou made wore beautiful than ever. Tue biue, red and green roows opeu into Lyls cor- ridor aod also the east room, conservatory sud state divingroom, and at one end of it there 1s & stairway leading to the second floor. The corridor itself is fully as wide the average parior and it is turnished j like & parior with soft carpets, fine furniture and cosy coruers. Idou't know how much it cost o furuish it, but you may get sowe idea of the money spenton the fixicg up of the white bouse by the faot thet the decors- tious und the refitling of the east room Jur- ing this admioistration are sald to bave oo more than $10,000.

How the Next resldent Will Dine. This is egually so ms to the dinner tabie arrangements. Mrs. Harrison has improved the looks of the state {diningroom and the private diningroom is gbod enough for any Hamily. The state diningroom is an immense apartment and oo the nights of state cinners it blazes with electrie rgys. -1t bas, perbaps, the most beautiful arble mautels - in America, which were’ carved in Italy and which have great mirrors above them. Its big table will seat fifty and Uncle Sam has supplied the president with enough china dine hundreds und have a change of plates at as many courses as vou will find at the swell dinners of the Cluines 1t is nice to drink out of cutglass and eat even your buckwheat cakes and sausage on Dresden plates and drink yoar coffee out of the finest of Haviland cups. It was Hayes who bought the Haviland set of china for the white bouse and Mrs. Harrisou has added to the china closet a new set of American china, which will compare with the finest products of Europe and tue far east. The designs for this china were made by an American artist. Among the articles in it are an especial oyster plate service, a" dozen soup plates, twelve fish plates, adinner service of a dozen pieces with & platter and twelve plates each for the game course and- the desert. There are after-ainner coffée cups and saucers, tea- cups. and saucers &d other pieces all elaborately and appropriately decorated, The next president will - wipe his mouth with the fiuest of damask linea and Uncle Sam fur- nishes the napkins and tableciotbs for the ralers of bis nephews. The napkius used at the white house at state dinners are almost as big as tavlecloths, and they shine like sillk and are very heavy and thick. The glass used 1 the white house is outglass and whether one wauts to driuk out of the water goblet or the champagne glass, or wishes to end his ainner with a pony of brandy, he cad have his w@sthotic soul aelighted by & vessel as white as the purest diamond and as thin as au egg shell, und as he looks into it he will seathe Americon caglg engraved upon its side. Nearly every -president buys new linen for the 'white " hbuse and one of the pleasures of the next first iady of the land will be the shoppiug she can do at govern- ment expense in_replegishing the linen and china closets of her establisbment. Sne will not have the pieasure of doing her own mar- keting, ‘That is out of fashion pow, though President larrison’s * grasdfatber used 1o start out every moraing and walk to Georgetown and pick oat the choicest cuts for bis own tabie, The president now hasa steward, snd 1 dom't suppose that either Mr. or Mrs. Harrison have any idea of what they are golng o eat before they sit down at the table. The cooking is all dove in the basement, abd Mrs. Harrison bas had the whole lower part of the establish- mecnt renoveted. The kitclen is now tiled to floas d &s Lo the dado of the side Woben sbe came in she found that there were turee rotten wooden floors placed one on top of the other, snd she bhad these taken out and these tigd floors put in their place on @ basis of concrete, The laundry in the white house is & véry fine one and all of its arrangements are of the best, A Word Aboat the Coaservatory. It must take nearly hulf an acre of glas to cover the flowers ot the white house con- servatory. It keeps men busy all the time to take care of it} and the finest of ull kinds of flowers from érchids to roses are coutinually in bloom hepe. There are broad india rubber plants whish are worth from §50 10 8100 spiece, and thepe are some flowers which are absolutely werth their weight 1u gold.

At court 2,000 fiowers of justice, and at the last dipiomatic the mautels of the parlors were up with flowers, and at avotter Ume Lhoy were covered with im- mense double tulips rising out of banks of grecu, Every slalg aloper requires ai least | sprays of the lily of the valley and 400 strings of smilax were used. 0dd Toings About the White House, There are wany odd things about the white house of which the people know but little and which will be interesting to the various candidates and their fricnds. There is & very nice biiliard room down in one corner of the basainent, which,1f the next president can bazale the cue, will give him a fair chance to lay with his cabinet when the good people hink they are discassing the affairs of state, and there are no end of good wino closets which can be properiy stocked for a consid- eration. These closets have seen good liguors in the past. It was in them Andrew Johuson k pt his favorite Bourbon and the sherry of which be was so fona. HereJobn Tyler stored away his Jamaica rum and the Ma- aeira which he imported himself, trading ship loads of corn from bis Virginia planta- tion for1t, and it was here that Thomas Jef- ferson had bottled up the $11,000 worth of champagne and otber liguors which he gerved up while he was 1n the white house. Jef- ferson spent more on liguors than any other president on record, but Arthur was noted for his fine wines, and Anarew Jackson spent & pretty peuny on punch during bis aamin- istration, There are mauny odd things about this basement, and every inch of iv is markea with history. It was down here that Acdrew Johnson's daughter had her dairy when her father was prosident, and here she made her own butter and gave her guests a drink of buttermilk fresh from the churn. At this basement door it was charged that Mrs. Lincoln peddled out extra milk of the white house, and down bere Buchanau's servants ate him almost outof house and home, and gave, 50 it is said, somo of the best portorbouse steaks to feed the stable dogs. It must be odd to rummage through the attice of the white house, and to look over the old furniture used by the presidents of the past, and it is 0dd to go through the second floor rooms ana notico how the president does his business. The Business Part of the White House, The business part of the white houss has been entirely remodeled by President Harri- son. Private Secretary Halford has the the small room at the southeast corner, and the President has taken the room which Dan Lawmont used to occupy, which was the office of President Lincoin, The other rooms further on beyond the one in which the cabi net meets are all large and airy, and they are titted up for tbe living rooms of the tamily. lo the president's business office you will find s balf-dozen clerks, and you can resch out your finger and touch any part of the world. There is a telegraph op- erator whose kev is connected with the cul:Yu and telegraph wires of the United States, and there is & clerk who does but little else than attend to the newspapers, snd the {rosident gets uis ‘pupers from everywhere, D one large room there are a number of clerks, and among these is Coloel Crook, the cashier of the white house, There is an ele- vator in the white bouse, and, all in all, the old mansion is packed full of intercsting thiogs. FRANK G, CARPENTER. e Return of & Famous Gun. Instructions were given some time ago by Secretay Blaine to Geuneral George S. Bachelor, minister at Lisbon, tomake a courteous request for the return tothe United States of the famous *‘Long Tom” gun, a forty-two-pounder, of the celebrated private armecd brig-of-war | Avmstrong, which played such part in the battle of Fayal with the British squadron in 1514. Infor- mation has been received at the Depart- ment of State that the king of Portugal “has expressed his consent to present the gun to the Uniwd States, it now being in the Castle of Juan, at the Island of Fayal, Secretary of the Navy Tracy has or- dered a ship of war to be sent to Fayal at as early a date as possible to receive the gun. It is proposed to have it mounted in Lafayette square in this city, opposite the white house. NEBRASKA FACTORY Some of the Attractions at the Coming Manufacturers' Expositioa.
