scene az inc white House.


There was n scene at social dinner at
the Wn:te House early in March that was
not put down in the programme. The
President had brought around him the
members Of his Ca1i few Senators
and friends, with an eqah number Of
ladies', for one OF the most exqsisite dina
ners that he had then given. The glued
walls, the pomegrauate plush hangings,
the thickets of azeicas, the beds Of roses.
and the table with its beautiful flowers
aud crystal that was set in the center OF
the private diningroom, all ministered &c
happy hearts and smiling faces. Mr.
Blaine sat facing the host, and in the
general sociability Of the party there was
talking across and all around the board,
In which the President and Mr. Blaine
were foremost in humor aud repartee.
Several times the President addressed
him az "Mr. Secretary" the title TO which
Cabinet officers are personally designa-
ted, and each time Mr. Blaines plumage
was visibly ruffied, and his black eyes
snapped suppressed sparks. Al the third
time his words were repeated, Mr. Blaine
leaned forward and said quickly, "rIl
thank you, MIR. President. not to address
me by the title of the Office OF which you
have deprived me. To you l an simply
Mr.. Blaine"
The company were struck dumb, and
sat pale and silent as il hit by thunder
clap. The President colored, for he
biashes as easily as a school girl, atiribu-
ted his using the title 10 the habit acquir-
ed during their pleasant official relations
together. and deprecated ever having de
prived him of an Office il would have
given him such Satisfaction to retain. 81
beS your pardon sir, you did not deprive
me OF my office, said the chagrined ex
Secretary, and it was then left for the
President TO restore sociability around
the board and help his guests forget the
unusual contrstemps.

BLOOMFIELD, June 9.-The pursuit OF

up unremittingly since We inesday night.
Large forces of men from all he sur
rounding towns Gre securing the neigh

by City Marshal Macarthur, came up
with the robbers at Wiunagan Ford in
the darkness, and were Immediately fired
upon. Three horses were killed, but
none OF the men were injured except
young Ike Marshall, who was wounded in
the hand. All parties then scattered,
the robbers going in Hortbeasterly di-
rection and striking into the thickiy
wooded country around Mu.sIs Fork
Knobs, Northeast of Macon. They lost
two revolvers, false beard and hat.
The robbers were surrounded in field
about twelve miles West of Rirksville. on
the Charlton river. They are bcmmed in
by Ave hundred men from Linii, Sullivan,
Macon and Adair counties, aud will he
shot down without mercy IL they attempt
10 break through. The robbers are known
TO be rrs same men who have been
stopping on the Harper farm in Adair
county during the past three weeks. The
two banks of Brookheld have offered n re-
ward of $500 for the capture of the men,
dead or alive.

Acre.

A New York correspondent states that
in the more common streets Of New York
land is worth from $3.50 900 TO S350,0o0
per acre. In the best part of Broad way
it's value is increased to 81 600, 900 per
acre; but in the vicinity of Wall street
its value is immensely increased, because
this locality is the money heart If Ameri-
en-. The land on the Drexel building
stands cost its present owners at the RITE
of SI4 000.0 600 per acre. 1t occupies the
corner Of Wall and Broad streets, which
may be considered the most valuable corr
Der on this conIinent--aui yet. when
was Broad street clerk in 1910, this
very place was occupied by hat store.
The corresponding value Of property in
this neighborhood has been illustrated by
the recent sale of the corner of Broad
street and Exchange place, which was at
the rate OF l5,O00,000 per acre. Hence
the Drexel lot was none too dear. In
fact, these dazzling figures are justified
by the immensity of the transactions
which occur here daily. Almost all the
railroads on the continent Except New
Engla nd are managed within 500 feet Of
this spot, and the general pressure Of
our immense financial system gives it a
value which few years ago could NOT
have been dreamed Of.
