ANCIENT WHITE HOUSE GOSSIP Adams’ Explanation of Tears Shed at His Inauguration. George Washington, the first President, was sworn in in Wall street on the steps of the subtreasury building, John Adams, the second President, saw more persons w r eeping at his inauguration than he had ever seen at any funeral, and said of it: “Whether it was because of the loss of a beloved President or the accession of an unpopular one I can

not say ” A prize of SSOO was offered in Washington's administration for the best design for a house to serve as a home for the President in Washington. James Iloban, an Irishman from South Carolina, was the successful competitor. His sketch contained so many wings and colonnades that the public was horrified and frills and gingerbread decorations were eliminated. The result was the two-story White House as we know it now. Washington laid the corner stone of the building in 1 792. Ir was completed in 1 799, the year of Washington’s death. John Adams was the first President to occupy the White House,

and it -was said of Abigail Adams, his wife, that, she hung up the family wash in the east room. Theoretically, the President of the United States can not he arrested or restrained by any public official, hut Ulysses S. Grant, while President, was held up and arrested by a negro policeman for fast driving. He put up a bond of S2O and forfeited it next day in police court. The President may go beyond the borders of the country if he chooses, but seldom, if ever, does so. A good deal of talk was caused in Grover Cleveland’s administration by the report that he had gone beyond the three-mile limit on the Atlantic while fishing. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court of Jasper County, State of Indiana, administratrix of the estate of Mary E. Welsh, late of Jasper County, deceased. Said estate is supposed to be solvent. ■ CARRIE A. WELSH, Administratrix. November 25, 1916. n22-d6-13 ■ , - . _y Subscribe for The Democrat.
