LAVISH HOSPITALITY AT THE WHITE HOUSE
It Is Believed That President Roosevelt's Household
Expenses Are Larger Than His Salary
l
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. (Special ;
Correspondence of The Sunday
Oregonlan.) The Presidential sal
ary la to Jae increased to $73,000 perhaps
to $100.000 if influential leaders In Con
gress have their way.
It Is obvious that President Roosevelt
lyis been expending: largely for entertain
ment of his fellow-citizens and of official
foreign guests, more than his salary of
t.OeO. "While it is predicted that be will
veto any increase of his own salary. It is
believed that he may allow Congress to
come to the relief of his successors.
A poor President In the enlarged "White
House would Indeed suffer the status of
the traditional frog In the big puddle. If
allowed only the present pay, contrasts
nith the brilliant social regime of Theo
dore Roosevelt would be embarrassing.
Entertains Thousands.
Mr. Roosevelt has held to the "theories of
Jefferson and Jackson that the "White
House belongs to the people; but he has
dispensed Its official hospitality more sys
tematically. He entertains at his table
every one of note who comes to Wash
ington, Prince or labor leader, Democrat
or Republican, Christian or Mohammedan.
Beneath his mahogany he gathers the
knees of the Federal officials, according
to routine, and each "Winter he Invites to
the great east room thousands of civilians
never Invited to the "White House before,
who onjoy with him and his family enter
tainment by the best musicians of the
land. Furthermore, with -Increasing rec
ognition of our power among nations,
come to our shores greater and greater
numbers of official foreign guests rulers,
royal Princes, special envoys, commission
ers, parliamentarians, savants and what
rot. All of this hospitality, foreign and
domestic, is paid for out of the President's
bank account, and his bills for viands and
service are enormous compared with those
cf any other Presidential regime- More
c ver. he has the largest family of depend
ent children ever gathered In the "White
House during one administration.
Interesting System Devised.
New Yoar day is expected tousher in
the most brilliant series of state functions
ever witnessed at the "White House. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt have almosj:
completely reorganized the schedule of
such events. They have gotten social
matters down to a wonderful system, and
have distributed the responsibility of ar
rangements among a larger force of assis
tants than have ever been intrusted to
unravel the tangles marring state affairs
heretofore.
The Roosevelt preference for young men
is illustrated In the selection of the new
master of ceremonies, Colonel Bromwell,
an officer of engineers not far advanced
In his thirties. Under him six young offi
cers will serve as social aids. To this co
terie of seven men will be intrusted the
duty of preparing the White House for
the entertainments, of carrying out the
programme sanctioned by the President
and of presenting the guests to their host
and hostess.
The programme, so far as it affects
questions of precedence, will be intrusted
to Assistant Secretary of State Adee, the
highest American authority on such mat
tera. The Invitations will be Inscribed
and directed by a skilled penman in the
diplomatic bureau of the State Depart
ment. The protection of the President
will be intrusted to Chief Wilkle, of the
secret service. The 'details affecting the
civilian guests and all matters feminine
will be worked out by Miss Isabel Hagner,
private secretary of Mrs. Roosevelt, whose
salary the President pays personally.
Such Is the great social force which is
needed to keep oiled and smoothly" running
the complicated machinery of state func
tions. Contrast the days when the wife
of President Polk found time riot only to
art as her own private secretary, but his
as well.
Rising of the Curtain.
Tho curtain on the 1905 social drama
will risa at 11 o'clock New Year morning.
This opening event is especially sacred
to President Roosevelt, inasmuch as the
New Year reception is entirely of Dutch
origin, having been Introduced to this
continent by Governor Peter Stuyvesant
But outside the White House and the ex
ecutive mansion at Albany it has almost
entirely died out among Americans.
At the hour named on New Year morn
the White House will be spick and span,
fresh flowers from the propagating gar
dens will grace the vases of the state
parlors, and the Marine Band the Presi
dent's own as It assembles in the great
open corridor, will be seen for the first
time In Its new parade uniform, designed
to be worn only at White House enter
tainments. A bugle call will announce the readi
ness of the President to receive the New
Year greetings of all of the people, and
as the band strikes up "Hall to the Chief"
he will escort Mrs. Roosevelt from the
rrivate apartments to the historic blue
parlor, where always on occasions of
state, the President receives his guests.
Holiday Candies in the Chafing Dish
THE old-fashioned candy-pull has been
practically supplanted by chafing
dish functions for holiday week. A young
girl always looks her best when concoct
ing toothsome dainties in -this very mod
ern and eminently satisfactory article of
household equipment, which has some
thing to do with the change.
In the first place, everything must be In
readiness for use the moment it is needed.
'Have the dining-room table covered with
white oilcloth, which, can be purchased at
any household furnishing store for 2S
cents a yard. By all means avoid lace or
paper dollies, which have caused many
shocking accidents at chafing-dish func
tions. For a large party have two
chafing-dishes, one at each end of the
table, with a bottle of wood alcohol on a
side stand, from which to replenish the
alcohol lamps. Scatter along the sides
of the table a. bowl of English walnuts,
one of hlckorynuts, another of peanuts,
and still another of the delicious, creamy
butternuts. Beside each bowl should be
two nut-crackers, a nut-pick and a deep
saucer to receive the kernels. These are
much more apt to come out of the shell
whole it the nuts are cracked from end
to end. When only a few guests are to
participate in the candy-making, the nut
kernels should be taken from the shell
beforehand.
In the next place, read your recipes
through carefully and make sure you have
not forgotten any of the ingredients. In
cluding a bottle of vanlla and pome baking
soda, which will make the molasses candy
a lighter yellow If a teaspoonful is stirred
in Just before the mixture is poured into
the tins to cool. On a side stand must
be & pitcher of Ice water, a small dish of
butter and one of flour for use when the
pulling begins. You will need any num
ber of cake tins, which should be well
greased and piled In pairs facing each
other. Do not fall to supply plenty of
clean towels.
In the center of the table place a punch
bowl filled with delicately buttered and
salted popcorn. When tie candy-making
is finished, cook a. pint of molasses and
Preceding the first lady and gentleman of
the realm will walk the master of cere
monies and his six aids. Following will
appear the Cabinet members and their
wives. Meanwhile, In the splendid red
parlor used, save on occasions of state,
as the smoking room of the President's
guests, although, he does not use the
weed himself the diplomatic corps will
have assembled In their gorgeous court
uniforms, resplendent with Jeweled orders.
They will be led Into the adjoining blue
parlor by their dean, the Russian Am
bassadorl and perhaps it will be rather a
bitter pill for the Japanese envoy and his
staff to swallow this being led in pro
cession by the personal representative of
their arch enemy. Secretary of State Hay
will present each of ttte foreign corps to
the President, after which they, together
with Mr. Hay, will depart from the White
House.
New Year Innovations.
For the first time at a New Year recep
tion at the' White House these guests will
note that there Is no receiving line of
splendidly dressed women extending from
the right hand of the President's wife to
the far door of the blue parlor. Instead
of being presented in turn to all of these
ladies of the Cabinet, the guests will mere
ly shake hands with Mr. Roosevelt, bow
to Mrs. Roosevelt and then pass out.
The Cabinet ladles will mingle In the
large ba.y window behind Mr. and Mrs.
Roosevelt, who will stand well back with
in Its curve, two blind doors having been
cut into the walls to admit the line of
guests across that end of the room. In
the days of the former White House the
receiving line stretched across the inner
extremity of the apartment, and a large
number of guests were asked to receive
with the Presidential party and to stand
'behind the line." But henceforth a co
terie of favored persons will be Invited to
remain In the blue parlor with the Presi
dent. Id front of him a narrow passage
way for the procession of guests will be
marked off by a heavy silken rope, and
across this channel the blue-parlor guests
will mingle together. Hence, each per
son in line need linger in the reception
apartment but a sufficient time for the
President and the first lady of the land
to greet him.
The master of ceremonies will take his
post at the President's left as soon as the
diplomatic corps shall have passed. Ac
cording to the code of etiquette which has
stood since the White House was first oc
cupied, only the Secretary of State shall
present the foreign plenipotentiaries and
tneir suites to the chief magistrate. Tne
Supreme Court, following the diplomats,
will be presented by Colonel Bromwell,
and he will do the honors for all other
guests in the long line, which will move

French Cream Candy. For half a cup
of cream, fresh and sweet, allow two
cupfuls of powdered sugar and a quarter
of a pound of candled fruits, with one
square of sweetened chocolate and
half a small cupful of blanched almonds
cut In strips. Put the cream and sugar
together Into chafing-dish blazler. Stir
just enough to dissolve the sugar, then
place over the alcohol cup. Boll up quick
ly and continue the boiling for five min
utes longer. Place the blazler in a pan
of cold water and whip the mixture until

Divide Into three parts. Add the candled
or crystallized French fruits (cut Into

shredded almonds. Line a bread pan with
paraffine paper, and first pour very even

mark Into squares. If the mixture of
nuts and cocoanuts is not liked, either
butternuts or English walnuts can be sub
stituted. These small squares are often
neatly wrapped in paraffine paper, and
by this means the candy is kept soft.
Molasses Candy. Measure one cupful
of light brown sugar and put In the
blazer with two cupfuls of New Orleans
molasses, a tablespoonful of vinegar and
a lump of butter about one-fourth the
size of an egg. Boil without stirring un
til the syrup becomes brittle when
dropped into ice water. Then pour In
shallow, wegreased pans and let It
stand until It can be handled comfortably
when the delicate part of the process be
gins. Confectioners make use of a big
hook on which to hang the candy. To
produce the same results, each portion
should be worked by twff people, one
so holding the hands as to take the
place of the hook, the other throwing
the candy over them and pulling It out,
but taking care never to twist It. When
too stiff to be worked further, stretch it
out on a pastry board and break Into
pieces.
Pcnoche. This sweetmeat is at the
best when pecan nuts can be obtained,
although other nuts, such as walnuts,
English or black, butternuts, or even
Brazil nuts, can be substituted. To two
cupfuls of grated maple sugar allow one
cupful of granulated sugar and one of
milk, with a level teaspoonful of butter
and one-half pint of pecan meats. Put
the granulated sugar In the blazer and
stir until it melts and becomes slightly
brown. Then add the milk, the butter
and the maple sugar, and boil all together
until the mixture forms what is known as
a soft ball when dropped In cold water.
Add the nuts and stir until the syrup be
gins to thicken. Pour at once Into but
tered pans and stand aside until cool.
Mark off into squares, and when quite
cold break, apart
Crystallzed Fruits and Nuts. The best
fruits for the Christmas season are
oranges and English walnuts. To make

Hospitality Abused.
As late as the Ch'll War there, were
held at the White House public levees
which one might attend without the form
ality of an Invitation, and It was at one of
these. In 1S54. tha. General Grant was
made to stand on a sofa that all of the
guests might see him. On .the evening of
his inaugural Jackson admitted all-comers,
and the furniture of the east room was
wrecked by rowdies, who stood upon the
upholstery. Costly china was smashed
and food was spllle'd over the carpets.
The custom of serving refreshments to
the entire line of guests at levees which
had been inaugurated during Monroe's ad
ministration, was thereupon discontinued
until revived for a brief period by Presi
dent Hayes.
Since the Civil War engraved Invitations
to tho levees have been Issued, but even
then White House hospitality was badly
abused. Each recipient regarded an Invi-
water' Have ready the oranges divided
into sections, and the walnut meats in
perfect halves. Set . the saucepan con
taining the syrup into another pan part
ly filled with boiling water to keep hot.
Stick each bit of orange or each nut on
the point of a fine skewer and dip into
the syrup so as to coat It thoroughly.
Then lay It on a lightly oiled dish until
cold and firm.
Peanut Brittle. Select freshly roasted
peanuts. Shell, skin and split in halves
of sufficient number to yield one and
one-half cupfuls. Then spread the nuts
evenly over a shallow, greased pan. Put
one cupful of genuine dark molasses and
one cupful of brown sugar in the blazer
of the chafing dish. Add one tablespoon
ful of vinegar and one generous table
spoonful of butter and boll until tho mix
ture becomes crisp on being dropped Into
cold water. Add a scant teaspoonful of
baking soda, mix thoroughly and pour
over the nuts. Stand in a cold place
where it will harden quickly, and when
very hard break into pieces. Homemade
peanut brittle surpasses the factory
brand.
Maple Sugar Candy. For one cupful of
cream allow one of milk and one pound
of pure maple syrup. Break the sugar
Into bits and put all the Ingredients to-
gether In -the blazer. Stir the mixture
steadily as it bolls, and when it will
harden on being dropped Into Ice water,
stir In a generous quantity of black wal
nut meats broken Into small bits. Pour
Into a greased pan to the depth of an
inch, and when cold break into Irregular
pieces. When the nuts are not added to
the mixture the candy Is excellent for
small children.
Caramels au Cafe. For one pound of
sugar allow half a cup of strong cold
coffee and one cupful of sweet cream.
Boll the coffee and sugar until they form
a. syrup, then add the cream and con
tinue boiling until the mixture hardens
when dropped Into Ice water. Stir In a
teaspoonful of butter, and when well
blended turn In shallow pans which have
been greased with olive oil. When suffi
ciently hardened, mark off Into squares
and let stand untl perfectly firm. To
make the coffee, pulverize a sufficient
quantity to yield two and a half heaping
tablespoonfuls. Put Into any drip cof
fee pot and pour over It one cupful of
boiling water.

seats ?2 persons. President John Adams,
the first tenant of the White House, could
entertain his entire Senate and Cabinet

to accommodate 40 guests. President
Roosevelt at his board could well-nigh
squeeze together the entire House of Rep
resentatives of Adams' time. But his of

Willpower
Correspondence Chicago Chronicle.
ELKHART, Ind., Nov. 26. At the last
meeting of the Thirteenth District
Medical Association Dr. George E.
Washburne, ot this city, interested his
professional brethren by the account of an
alleged wonderful cure effected by Mrs.
Washburne on their son through the
power of suggestion. The story of the
apparent miracle wrought by the mother
after specialists of Chicago had pro
nounced the child's case hopeless received
the closest attention during its recital.
After telling how the child was injured
and of his own diagnosis, which admit
ted of no medical relief. Dr. Washbnrne
said:
"His mother and I called In brain and
nerve specialists. -They confirmed my
diagnosis of a tumor or clot on the brain,
caused Dy a fall, and pressing In turn
upon more brain centers, No relief was
to be expected. An operation in that lo
cality would mean almost certain death.
We all agreed that the child could not
live more than a year at most We had
to look forward to a greater Involvement
of the brain centers, probably bringing
blindness, deafness, dumbness and finally
feeblemindedness and death.
"His mother refused to accept the ver
dict of science. During my absence from
the city she put Into operation a treatment
'which resulted in the boy'3 complete re
covery. Suggestion was her only medi-cine-that
wonderful Influence by which
the mind may be made to control the
"body.
Controlled His Breathing.
"Every night when the boy wenC to
sleep she controlled his difficult breath
ing by suggestion. She stopped his cough
and straightened his paralyzed limbs. In
two months, with the aid of no other
treatment he was out of danger and dls
trees. was sleeping quietly every night
and growing strong.
"I do not assert that this treatment
would be applicable to all cases. On the
contrary. I say it would noU Organic
troubles so far advanced that the tissues

State dinners are served by a caterer,
who brings a large force of chefs to the
commodious White House kitchen for
their preparation. Since the enlargement
of the state dining-room these banquets
cost much more than they did previous to
Mr. Roosevelt's Administration. The bill
for each now always runs to four figures.
One of President Hayes' state dinners Is
known to have cost $6000, and his day wa3
far less brilliant or extravagant than the
present; moreover, no wines were served.
As to the cost of private White House
dinners, an estimate would be difficult.
President McKInley's private table is said
to have cost him about 525 a day. His
family consisted of two people. That of
President Roosevelt includes seven In all,

bullet wounds, etc., require the care of a
surgeon and defective eyes the aid of
glasses. But all nervous 'and ' functional
disorders, as well as some organic lpslons
In the earlier stages, can be quickly and
safely reached by this means."
Dr. Washburne then elaborated a the
ory concerning the case. Ho said:
"We all have a certain amount ot ner
vous energy which runs our bodily ma
chinery, much as electricity runs an auto
mobile. Imagine that the brain is a big
generating motor of this electrical plant:
the ganglia the bunch of nerve substance
scattered at various points in the body
are storage batteries and switching sta
tions, like other telephone centrals. Well,
now let us represent the total amount of
energy which any brain Is capable of
generating by 100. "Under ordinary condi
tions this energy Is distributed rather
equally, the nerves carrying It where it is
wanted, just like telephone wlrei.
"You are eating dinner, we will say;
the nerves flash down extra energy to
your stomach, to the muscles ot your
mouth, tongue and throat, to all the
parts of the machine used in disposing
of food. You are writing a letter, the
energy centers in your brain and lingers.
Energy Is Transferable.
T do not mean, of course, that it 13 to
tally withdrawn from the rest of the
body, for" the heart goes on beating, the
lungs go on breathing, the liver continues
to secrete bile, etc, all the time. But a
certain amount of the energy Is evident
ly transferable on demand. Let us call
the amount X.
"In the case. say. of a nervous dys
peptic the stomach nerves have got. out
of the way of .carrying to that organ Its
full supply of blood. When it ought to
get 18 It gets only 10. (These are arbitrary
figures, used jnerely to Illustrate my
theory-) The languid stomach Is, under
these conditions, unable to perform the
work required of It; It doe3 not digest the
food put into it, but sends- out riieseages
of distress and pain which greatly upset
Its owner.
"Now suppose that by some means an
extra supply of nerve 'energy could be
turned on and sent spinning -through these
stomach nerves, don't yoU see' that " the
eon and dinner. Then there are several
extra state dinners a year and the sev
eral muslcales In the east room each
Winter. After the latter sumptuous re
pasts are served.
The raising of the Presidential salary
would, of course, cause a political furore,
as It did In Grant's time. Several railroad
presidents receive salaries higher than Mr.
Roosevelt's one or two double that sum.
The President of France receives $240.00)
per year. There are said to be but two
other chief executives in the world who
receive salaries lower than that of ours
the Presidents of Switzerland and Argen
tina. Mexico's President receives the same
as ours, but Cabinet members in that re

Roosevelt's advisors- (Copyright, 1504.)

stomach would wake up and get to work?
Its 10 'per cent of energy would be raised
at once to, say, 18 or 20.
Nerves Get Out of Order.
"The means by which the transferable
energy In the system can be directed to
any point Is suggestion. Just how great
this transferable or loose energy is has
not yet been estimated, but I can form an
idea of ' how and why suggestion con
trols It.
"In the first place, the patient Is taught
to relax both body and mind. This means
that the energy otherwise used to supply
the thinking brain and run the muscles
is set free ready to be sent where it is
most needed. Ordinarily the needs- of the
body and the wishes .of the patfent him
self would make the necessary connec
tion, and it would be used up in various
directions, but now by the joint act of the
physician and the patient it is sent where
the doctor directs.
"I say by the joint act. because the pa
tient's consent la necessary to the success
of "the procedure. . It Is as if his consent
made. a connection between his brain bat
tery and hc physician's and put the lat
ter for the time being in control of the
other's connections. When I talk to some
one In Chicago over the long-distance tel
ephone the Elkhart office connects me
with the Chicago office and I get the use
ot that office with any of Its wires I
caU for.
"Well, then, the transferable nervous
energy of the patient being put under the
direction of the doctor, he. by means of
the patient's own brain, sends it where
it is most needed. The operator should
be a careful, well-trained man. who knows
just when to stop. lest he drain the brain
and the rest of the body of too much of
their share of the 'X' energy.
"Eut that a sensible person with the
requisite knowledge can use this force to
the great benefit of suffering humanity I
am thoroughly convinced. The case cited
Is only one Illustration of the truth, but
that .the mother herself managed the
cure shows how simple and sure the
remedy Is when Intelligently applied.
Some day I hope to lay a more complete
theory Before the scientific world,"
