WHITE HOUSE MAIL

NUMEROUS LETTERS ON EVERY CONCEIVABLE SUBJECT. They Are Bent to the President in Hopes of Eliciting His Favor—Poets, Cranks, School Children and Beggars in the Unending List. Washington correspondence:

THE number of letters that find their way into the White House is enormous. These letters are written k" on every conceivaB ble subject and the E writers embrace nearly every class isl. and condition of people. Formerly Wgi the bulk of these ££ letters were unanswered, but the 11 policy of President McKinley is to anil JR swer each missive, II • no matter how humble the author

or insignificant the subject. Sending mail to the White House in the hope that it will come beneath the President’s eyes is a proceeding that does not do the interested person any good. An applicant for the postmastership in a small town, for instance, sends his application and indorsements to the White House, under the impression that the President ha' time to review all the papers in the case. The President never sees the papers. They are promptly forwarded to the Postoffice Department, where, in the course of time, they are looked over by an assistant, possibly the Postmaster General. At the same time the White House writes a letter to the office seeker explaining what has become of his papers. Frequently he delights in the receipt of this letter, which is so diplomatically worded that it generally conveys the idea that the’ President had personally examined the papers and forwarded them himself. The applicant for an army position, for a clerkship in the treasury or any other department does the same as the man seeking the postoffice. His papers are at once forwarded to the proper department. Appeals for pensions, which are almost numberless and frequently touching, go to the pension office without the President ever seeing them. It is doubtful if the President himself has any idea of the mass of letters which are handled by his clerks. The President sees the letters from a certain class of contributors. Either thia or he sees a brief of the contents. Letters which go to him are from officials in high

M'KINLEY'S PERSONAL MAIL.

life or from personal friends who make requests for appointments or for other matters. Poets are the most voluminous of the contributors to the White House. They break loose without much provocation and flood the executive mansion with their effusions. The sinking of the Maine was a favorite theme with the sentimental. The battle of San Juan Hill, the sinking of Oervera's fleet, Dewey’s achievements in the Philippines, in fact, nearly every incident of the war with Spain and the events which have followed have supplied subjects for barrels of rhyme. The newspaper offices cannot be induced to publish these supposed gems, and they are promptly worked off on the White House, the would-be poet receiving a formal note saying that his production has been received. The note reads something like this: “The President directs me to say your poem has been received, etc.” This is fuel to the fire, as the poet supposes the President has really seen his masterpiece. He exhibits the letter to his friends as an evidence of the appreciation felt in high quarters for his work and immediately composes more poetry for White House edification. Next to the poets come the cranks; then the importance for money or Recognition; then school children whose teachers suggest that they write compositions on certain subjects and send them to the White House. Included in the crank list are the men and women who knew exactly how Spain could be whipped; all about the proper medical attention for our troops; what our foreign policy should be, etc.; those who have boons which will benefit all mankind, and the person who hears that the President is sick and sends a decoction which he guarantees will bring about a speedy cure. ( Several Western papers some time ago published a story that the President would have to give up smoking cigars and turn to the pipe. In consequence a total of 400 or 500 different kinds of pipes were sent to the White Honse. The corncob was hewn into many pipe shapes and sent to the President to enjoy. A man in Europe who heard the story sent a box of curious clay pipes. The variety of pipes received was wonderful. These things all go into the storeroom of the executive mansion. Ignorant white and colored people address Unde Sam at the White House. They believe such a man reaUy exists and that he presides at the White House and over the destinies of the nation. The letters do not often refer to the White House. The envelopes frequently read:

RARE STAMPS.

Immense Prices Sometimes Paid by Collectors. The rarest stamp in the world is the penny Mauritus stamp of 1847. W. H. Peckit, of London, last year paid $4,840 for one. The only other one known to be in existence is in the British Museum. The entire issue was burned by accident after but a few were used on invitation to an official ball. Four thousand four hundred dollars was the next highest price paid for a stamp, that amount being exchanged for a blue one issued by the postmaster at Baltimore before the government took charge of all stamp business. There are but two more of these, printed on white paper and worth $2,000 each. It was the custom during the civil war for Southern postmasters to issue stamps on their own responsibility to pay their own salaries and expenses. These bring from SI,OOO to $1,500 each. Hawaiian stamps of 1851, the first issue ever printed, are worth $2,500 each. A mistake in printing makes United States stamps of 1869 in fifteen, twen-ty-four, thirty and ninety cent denominations worth $l5O to SSOO each. There is no end to stamp collecting, and every year some governmental practice opens a new field. Cheap little countries change their designs sometimes twice in the course of a single year. This naturally creates a scarcity of those particular issues, and the engraving company which printed the original stamps for nothing get the benefit Th# Spanish war has also set the collectors hustling to secure complete sets. As may be remembered postage stamps with the letters “I. R.” imprinted were the first war tax stamps supplied. A later use of postage stamps of interest to collectors is the introduction of the United States Postal Service into Cuba and Puerto Rico. Our one and two cent stamps had “Cuba” printed across their face to serve until plates could be prepared, and some of these stamps are already worth $2 each. Philatelism is a fad that is constantly growing, and the natural competition thus aroused has done much to raise the prices of all rare stamps within the last few years.

Without Experience.

There is in this city a young man who, though he attained his majority some time since, has never attained much height or width. In fact, he is very squatty and very youthful looking. Just because the Almighty saw fit to make this man small of stature and youthful of appearance the young mkn is sensitive, and wishes it known by all that he is a man, that he has voted several votes, and that he can and does enjoy all the rights and privileges of an adult male. A few evenings since the young man was talking to a friend and to the friend’s young wife. Finally the young woman said: “I wish I were a man.” “Oh, I don’t know,” responded the small one; “it isn’t so nice, after all, to be a man.” “Why, how do you know?” asked the young woman. And when the small one saw the point he went away and drank half a dozen whiskies, all men’s sizes.—Memphis Scimlter.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure graine, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about as much. All grocers sell it 15c. and 25c.
