MIS-. LOxan's New House.
From the Chicago News.
1--WE bought our house in Washington because
We got q great bargain in it and because the
people all around it wanted Gen. Logan to move
in there 10 make the neighborhood more popa-
lar" said Mrs. Senator Logan to a Doily NeaUs
reporter last night. "You see it is a very Old
hOuse-ffty or sixty years old-and was built
by Mr.. Stone, the first government map en-
gIaver. 1t was used for hospital during the
war and folks had a sort of prejudice against it
course if the neighbors were willing to make it
such an object To US, We were very glad to take
advantage OF IT, 1t is one of the few good finan-
ciai strokes the general has made. He has been
offered quite an advance on his bargain already
but We have boarded in Washington for twenty
years and that has got to be pretty monotonous
This year everything is so high there that we
could not get board for less than SITS to $225
month, and know" she added with the con-
seaous pride of good housekeeper, that can
Eun that house for good deal less than S175
month"
When asked il she did not share the supersti-
ton that when public man buys house in
Washington bis political fortunes began to
wane, Mrs. Logan laughed.
NO; don't think there's anything in that
We have nearly six years yet, if We live to oc-
euPS q, and 10 pay for II out of the generals
ssaary, and We viii be able to do that ii we live
Six years is rather further ahead than many of
us can plan. No, think We will be as fortunate
In our new home as we would be in boarding
house"
