Rich Congressmen.
Multimillionaires are Invading the
house of representatives. That legis
lative body today is more thickly In
vested, so to speak, by "predatory
plutcs" than ut nuy previous period lu
Its history.
One of th fifteen richest men lu
this country is a representative In
congress from Yonkers, in the state
of New York. Ills name is John E.
Audrus, and his wealth is estimated
at $00,000,000. He is a chemical king,
controlling to a great extent the pro
duction of medk'tnnl drugs In the
United States. Ncniiy all of the pep
sin manufactured In America comes
from his mills, whence the name "Old
Chewing Gum," applied to him joking
ly by his follow congressmen, though,
as a matter of fact he puts on the
market no such commodity. -
One of the most remarkable men In
the present house ls Daniel I- Lafean
of York, Ta. . He likewise was a born
fortune builder. He started in life as
driver of a coal cart at $1 a day. Ev
ery cent be possesses he has made for
himself, and his wealth today n mounts
to not less than $3,000,000. lie owns
silk mills, bunks, dairies and automo
bile factories; but Industrially speak
ing, he ls chiefly conspicuous as the
candy king. ,
Washington Fourth on the List.
Washington is fourth lu the list of
American cities when one couslders
the orea of asphalt streets. New York
comes flrnt, with Chicago and Phllndel
phla following In the order uamt-d.
The natlouul capital has 4,000.000
square yards of this sort of street
paving, according to advance sheets
of the census office bulletin ou the
subject.
In this city there are 1.300,000 square
yards of niacndauitzed streets, while
the area of cobblestones ls so small
that It Is hardly worth estimating.
Chicago and Detroit are strong on
the block wood streets, having be
tween them more than two-thirds of
the wood block pavements in the coun
try. Names of the White House.
It ls still the "White House" from
which President Taft sends his aununl
messago Instead of the "executive man
sion." by which It hud been formally
designated before UoosevelCs day.
But even that stilted title lacks the
supportof longjisage. The early pres-

Return l Jfkv
twm
idciits described It us the ""president's
house", or the "president's nmuslon,"
according to personal tastes. In the
earliest plotting of - Washington the
capitol and the White House were
designated by . names which would
hardly be understood by the newsboys
of this city today. It called one "con
gress house" and the other the "presi

- White House Expenses.
The; eutlre expense of tue White
House, lucludlug the salary of the
president and cost of clerical and of
Uce assistance. Is a little more than
the sum allotted by the Hollanders to
Queen Wilhelmlua aud is certainly not
au extravagant ratio of expenditures,
contrasting the proportions of the two
countries.
The total appropriation for this year
for telephone service, automobiles,
housekeeping, care of conservatory
aud greenhouses, printing, lighting and
the multifarious trifles necessary to
keep up such . an establishment is
$277.2.5, the lowest sum expended in
the maintenance Qf the White House
since 1004 except during the lust two
years of the Roosevelt administration,
when a recced was made by keeping
down expenses to about $100,000 each
year. .
With the exception of these two
years the expenses have been higher,
chiefly owing to appropriations for re
pairs and additions, which vary from
year to year. The highest executive
ex)endltures are about one-tenth of
the civil list of Oermany and one
eighth that of England.
A Unionist Congressman.
The workiugmen of the country have
one . member of congress who is a
worker and comes grimy from the
mines. He is William B. Wilson, who
was twlre elected to the bouse from
the I..vcomlng-Tiogn district of Penn
sylvania. At eleven years of age he
