not begin immediately. It is likely that
President Roosevelt will not take his
family there for at least a month. He
will probably take charge of the office
in the White House. immediately after
he returns from Canton. but it will not
be feasible to move Mrs. McKinley's
personal belongings for several days,
and thus far the steward has had no
instructions in this regard. Most of
her furniture was taken to Canton
two years ago, when the President and
Mrs. McKinley went there to live.
After all private furniture Is moved.
Colonel Hinghalm. the superintendent of
public buildings and grounds. will have
to overhaul the old mansion for the new
president. preparatory for the winter
season. At present i re house is in sum-
mer trim. It will b necessary to sub-
stitute carpets for the matting now on
the floors. and weather strips instead of
screens.
Mrs Rooacvelt had arranged before
Mr. McKinley’s death to come to Wash-
ington on September 23. when the Pres—
ident’s children were to be. sent to
school. Their rented house was put in
readiness to receive them. Now it is
definitely ascertained that the Chief
Executive's home will be in Rhodc ls-

time a president has ever lived up

For several days steeple. painters

to one side of the steeple. clear to the

stairway Miss Foote ascended. patted
the top notch 0f the steeple three times
with her right hand. while standing
there. and then came down.
She was cool and calm when she
reached the ground. The font was ac-
