DRAIN ON EXECUTIVE'S PRIVATE PURSE Rumber mud Maanltad mt Prcaldeat Roosevelt's Eatertavlmmenta Cav. liriauet-Hcw the llUla Jlt Paid. The recent estimates sent t congress for the expenses of the White Housa and the talk In the house of representatives in regard to alleged extravagances, have re vived the gossip regarding the salary of presidents and the amount that It costs them to live and maintain the dignity of the presidential office. The president of the I'nlted States receives a ualary of $f.0, 000 a year, says the New York Sun, and this amount seems large er small to the people of the country, according to the point of view. 8ome presidents have been able to lay by a considerable par of their salary, and others have possibly exceeded their Income In defraying living expenses and the cost of entertaining guests at home nd from sbroad. It Is commonly believed that President Cleveland and Tresldent Har.'laon, and in leaser degree, President McKinley, saved a considerable part of their annual salaries. As a rule, entertaining on a large scale at the White House was not nearly as com mon ten years ago as It la now. The for mal state dinners and receptions have been en established custom since the time of the first president, but the extent of the entertaining beyond these purely formal and necessary functions has depended very much on the tastes and Inclinations of the men who happened to occupy the presi dential office. President Roosevelt has beyond ques tion, surpasaed all predecessors In the magnitude and number of his entertain ments. When Chester A. Arthur occupied the White House he surprised the people ith tbo lavtshness of his entertaining. This was esoecinlly marked when he enter tained at dinner at different tlmea In the couree of one winter the whole congress, comprising more than Urn men besides many other guests invited with th-m.

Expensive Entertainments. The entertainments given by the Roose veJts have been, in many cases, of an ex ceptionally expensive kind. Among the most elaborate were the muslcalea that wore given frequently lart winter and have been reaumed this season. The musicians were paid by the president knd refresh ments for several hundred guest were provided by him. Mrs. Roosevelt has glvew also a large number of large afternoon teas and receptions. Mr. Roosevelt attracted the attention of the publio immediately after his sudden Induction into office by inviting distin guished men from all parts of the country to sit at his board. The object of this was not entirely social, for It was seml-offl-clslly announced that the new president wished to obtain the views of leading men everywhere in regard to public questions and policies, and not a day passed that did not see from four to twenty guests at the White House, breakfasting or luncheonlng or dining with the president. These In vitations were frequently given most in formally and on the spur of the moment during the course of the day's business In his office. Immediately after be be came president there was a crowd of via ltors each day In his office. He had not time to talk with them at length, and In aome cases be wished to talk with them. He would shake hands with a man, tell him be was glad to' see him, but very busy, and that he wished especially to have a talk with him. "Have you an engagement for luncheon V he would aak. j "Please come at 1:30 and nave luncn wiin me. ' It this conversation happenod to take place In 'the afternoon he would Invite the men to dinner. Word waa frequontly sent down to the White House kitchens aa late as an hour before a meal, saying that there would be from two to six extra guests at luncheon or dinner, as the case might be. The president also entertained many persons at breakfast and be still ) maintains this practice. I'strlnsr the Bill. The question as to what part of the Whit ! House expenses are borne by the president ( and what part by the government has recently been' revived. The answer to tbla question is that the president bears a much larger proportion of the total ex penses of the White House than is com monly supposed.

Incurred by a president when he comes into office Is an outlay of from ta.OOO to $10,000 for horses and carriages. The government provides no horse or vehicle for the president s use, although there la an Impression to the contrary. This Im pression is a natural one, for the govern ment does furnish two horses and a car riage for the use of each member of the cabinet. Many of the assistant Secretaries in the executive departments have each one horse and carriage at the expense of the government, and more than one bu reau chief baa a horse and carriage free of cost. The secretary to the president has a team of horses and a carriage. The White House ctables ar l furnished and maintained out of the federal treasury, and the gov ernment also pays the president's coach man and footmen and stablemen. The White House Is, of course, In the same category as other publio bulldlnfi so far as furnishings and maintenance are concerned. Under the head of maintenance, however, the ordinary house servants are not included. The president pays bis own servants almost without exception. The White House steward is paid by the gov. ernment, and one or two other helpers, who receive laborers' wages, are paid by Uncle Sam. The laundry at the White House Is main tained at the president's expense, although the superintendent of public buildings an) grounds, in bt recent estimates to con gress. Bald that It would be necessary for the government to provldo "two more helpers in tho laundry" at an expense of $25 per month each. Yet the statement has been made repeatedly at the White House, whenever Inquiry has been made, that tho lauudry helpers, as well as other servants In the mansion, are paid out of the president's private purse. The president, of course, pays all tt)e bills for groceriea, meats' and other pro visions used In the White House. The chlua. table linen and all accessories of tho kitchen and dining room equipment are provided by the government, and always have been, just as the furniture for tho parlors and sleeping rooms are provided. State Dinners. The expenses of a president, especially If he haa a large family, aa Mr. Roosevelt has, are naturally very heavy, for It is necessary for him to m et many expenses that a private citiien doea not lncui'. This leaves out of consideration altogether the expensive state entertainments..

In the case of a very large dinner the arrangements are usually placed in the hands of a professional caterer and the conditions, so tar as expense Is con cerned, are not very much different from those which obtain when a private citizen of means gives a large dinner at a fashion able hotel. The bill for the entertainment is made out, in some casoa at so much per plate, due allowance being made for cook ing which is done at the White House and certain provisions which the While House storerooms afford. At the great state din ners, however, a good deal of the food, especially In the way of desserts. Is brought by the caterers, and the bill Is never a moderate one. The president also pays a l&ige number of extra waiters and kitchen helpers. It is probable that a state dinner, where seventy or eighty guests are enter tained, costs the president from $500 to $800. Flowers mt tiie White House. A good deal has been said recently about flowers at the White House. The old con servatory that stood on the site of the pres. ent office building did not provide nearly all the flowers that were necessary for the White House entertainments. The great bulk of the flowers were brought from the propagating gardens in the Agricultural de partment's grounds, and this is the case at present. Very few flowers are bought at the florists and the president has paid for these, unless in oue or two Instances when the matter was taken out of his hands and the flowers bought at govern ment expense without his knowledge. The outlay in these exceptional cases would not have been made had the matter been called to the (resident's attention. The expense for extra flowers la comparatively trivial. Not nearly as many plants and flowers are used in the White House as were used before tho mansion was remodeled. Th-i new rooms do not require decoratiens of this sort. It used to be the invariable cus tom to bring many dray loads of potted plants, palms and flowering plants from the propagating gardens to decorate the man slon on state occasions, and a large corps of men from the propagating gardens were employed in decorating the rooms. This practice has been entirely done sway with this winter. To Divide Bewail Estate. CAMDEN. N. J.. March 14. The final ac counting of the estate of ex-L'nlted Btates Senator William J.

To those who nave followed with unflag ging attention the chapters of Mrs. Hum phrey Ward's new novel, "Lady Rose's Daughter," as It has sppeared In Harper's, the story of the real Julie may be Interest ing. In the New York Tribune of January 25 a writer calls attention to the close resemblance of Julie Lo Breton to Mile. Julie L'Esplnasse, a brilliant leader of French society in the eighteenth centu-y. Mrs. Ward, in the Tribune of February 17, acknowledges the life and character of Mile. L'Espinanse as the source of Inspira tion of her novel. Here Is the real story: When Mme. du Delfand, who maintained one of the most famous salons of the eighteenth century, found herself growing old and blind, Bhe looked about her tor a companion. She found what she was seeking In Mile. Julie L'Esplnasse, the Illegitimate child of a French woman of rank, who had been left alone at 15, without resources. Mme. du Deffand was st onci impressed with the un usual character of the girl and took her to her home in Paris, where she spent the next ten years of her life, a slave to her autocratic mistress. She read to her by the hour, helped to manage her household and attended to all the details of a aoclal life which her patron's 111 health and blind ness made Impossible. But what was more, she held the salon together by ber own personality All that was the best of French society was represented at Mme. du DefTand's. The lea-ling men ot church, state aud letters, dlullngutwlied fortlguur, all gathered there for conversation, re markable even In that day of brilliant wit. Mme. du Deffand never appeared before o'clock and soon the habitues of the salon formed a habit of dropping in before that time to see Mile. L'Esplnasse alone. At last Mme. du Deffand learned this and in a Jealous rag dismissed her.

Here this unusual women without name, beauty or fortune made a distinguished place for herself In the French world. She did more than any other woman to aid the work of the encyclopedists. D'Alembert. Turgot and Marmontel were her devoted friends. With the intellect of a man, she had the delicacy and tenderness of a woman. An unerring social Instinct' made her at tract the moat able men of France and draw out the best that was In them. Full of ardent enthusiasm In that day of ennui, emotional In an age of cynical Intellectual Ism, she was the idol of French society. One of her passionate nature could not escape love affairs, and we read ot two for we cannot count D'Alembert, for whom she seems to have felt the calmest friend ship. The first lover was a young Spanish nobleman. Marquis Gonzalo de Mora, who died while returning from Spain to Paris to see her. Her grief was very real, but by no means inconsolable, for we find her almost Immediately forming an even more ardent attachment for Count de Gulbert, a man eleven years younger than herself. He seems to hsve been flattered by tho pref erence of the distinguished woman, and made her professions of affection even while be was arranging a marriage with an helr ess which would greatly advance him in the world.
