MRS. HANCOCK's HOUSE.

The parlor is square, with the exception of
the northeast corner, which is made up of
the large bay window formed by the tower.
This room is blaze Of light. Its wood work
is of white and gold, and its paper is of the
most delicate gold and white figures.
Through the transoms over the windows Of
the tower the light shines in through dog
wood blossoms made of stained glass, and the
ceiling is a soft delicate tracery Of gold and
cream, which matches the paper. AT the
back of the parlor is fireplace, tiled with
Mexican onyx and the hearth OF this Is OF
the same pure white and pink tile.
The second floor has three large and well
lighted chambers, from each OF which can
be had fine views of the hills Of Washington
and kalorama heights. The finishing of the
wood is mahogany, or, rather, a stained
imitation OF it, and the third floor has similar
decorations, each room being different from
tho other. In the attic there is garnet and
a room for a servant. and I noted that the
servants room Is papered in q delicate robins
egg blue, and that the ceiling is covered as
we'll as the walls.
One of the features OF the fourth story
which would delight the ordinary house
keeper is large fur closet, floored, ceiled
and walled with cedar. The waves of per-
fume which rush ont when the door is opened
show that this will be moth proof, and it is
large enough to store tho winter clothes of
the car of Russia.
The culinary department of the house is
to Ike in the basement, and there is large
furnace. Tho house will be heated by this
and by the CRATES, and it will be undoubtedly
one of the most comfortable homes Of the
capital. 1t is not an extravaeant house in
its cost, and it is not gorgeous in its appoint
ments 1t is simplya comfortable home, and
when Mrs. Hancock's furniture has put n
soul into it, it will be one of the most pleas
ant places of social Washington.

Walker was born in Missouri and educated
at the Jesuit college in st. Louis In 1916
he was appointed first lieutenant in the
Mounted Rifles. United States army. He
served in the war with Mexico under Gen.
Scott, and sneled powder ut Contreras,
Churubusco end Molno del Rey, in tho lat
ter of which battles he was wounded. He
was breve;tci captain for gallant and meri-
toriOus services in the affair Of Juan de los
LanOS.
Capt. Walker resigned his commission to
ACCEPT Il coonelcy in the Confederate army,
and soon after was made brigadirr general
He served IN the Army Of Northern Virginia,
and was made n major general for gallant
conduct at Antictam, or, as this is called in
the south, Sharpsburg. He was then trans
ferred to the command of a division in Ark
ansas and fought at the battles of Pleasant
Hill and Of Mansfield, La, and jenkins
Ferry III 1861 Gen. Walker was then put in

Speaking OF the wives Of noted generals,
Mrs Sheridan has one of the most pleasant
homes in Washington, and she is one of the
brightest of Washington women Tall, slen-
der and graceful, she has a pleasant face, and
her manners are always composed She is n
daughter Of Gen. Rucker, and Gen Sheridan
met her, think, when he was living at.De-
troit. Fer home here is in one or the most
fashionable parts OF Washington. 1t cost
several times $4,000, and it is furnished with
the rare things which she and the general
have picked up in the travels Of their mar
red life. Gen Sheridan's workshop is just
off the parlor. and here Mrs. Sheridan often
sits and entertains her visitors. A rich Zunl
portiere separates the two rooms. and a gor-
geous Indian bead tablecloth covers one Of
the tables of the parlOr. Pictures of army
scenes hang upon the walls, and a very GU
rous piece among the bric-a-brac il three
leafed miniature screen made of richly flow
cred cretUnne, out of which look the photo
graphs of the friends of the family. You
will see here a photograph of Little PHIL"
and Phil Shcridan's boy is, l understand, a
chip of the old block, full of fire and daring
Mrs Sheridan pays much attention to the
education of her children. They are taught
by private tutors, and they ali speak French.
Gen. Sheridans memoirs are in press, by
the way, and he displays decided interest in
the controversy which is now going on in re-
gard to the writing Of Grants book. He
will not leave his wo.k in such q condition
that any other man can claim to have writ
ten it, and the truth OF the matter is that the
most of his work has been penned, or PEN
cilled rather, with his own hand. He has, II
n true, had his secretaries look up certain
matters for him, but the writing has been
done by himself, and believe that the same
thing can 10 truly said Of the memoirs Of

an | every part of the house conveys 10 Mrs.
Logan a Renaissance of her husband, TlS
house, as it is today, is practically the same
as IL was when the general died, save that
number of Logans most cherished objects
have been gathered into one corner, and this
is known as the Logan corner" This cor
ner is in the parlor, and it is in the next
room to the curious fur covered couch, upon
which the general loved to rest when lie came
in from a hard days work.
Mrs Logan is doing some writing for the
magazines and newspapers She receives
500 for newspaper article, and the syndi-
Gates are glad to buy her material. She is
not, however, u rapid writer, and she can
talk great deal better than she can write.
If she would use an amanensis and dictate
her thoughts, she would turn out more inter-
esting letters, and if she would devote her
self TO "reminiscences and to the telling OF
stories, rather than the giving of observa-
tons upon society and men, l think that her
articles would command even higher prices
than they now do.
Another heros widow who owns fine
house at Washington is the wife of Admiral
Dahlgren, whose pretty red pressed brick
house faces the bronze statue Of Gen.
Thomas, just across the way from where
Poker Bob Schenck lives, and not far of
from the residence Of Secretary Bayard.
Her house is built on three corner lot, and
it is wedge shaped, with big red tower
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-04-14

forming the end of the wedge The first
floor room OF this tower constitutes Mrs.
Dahlgren's library, and it is the coolest,
queerest conceit of the kind | have ever
seen. Mrs. Dahgren planned it herself,
and everything within it has for her
"A meaning. Tho floor is spiders
WEI, made of wood inlaid with different
colors, and Mrs. Dahlgren says that this web
indicates that the pursuit of knowledge
should be without end, and should go on as
long rs life lasts. Then, there are curious
flowers in the thing of the fireplace pas
sion flower, if | remember correctly, which
shows the love which one should nave for
learning 1t is the same with the ceiling and
the arrangement of the books, and the fine
old pictures which look down from the walls
are in harmony with the remainder of the
room. Books are all around, and in one cor
ner of the room is a little acove, with its in
terror made in the shape of a heart, and i'll
this is the statue of the Virgin, and two Of
the works of the old masters are seen through
the soft light which comes in through the
stained glass window. Mrs. Dahlgron is n
Catholic, and this is her place of prayer. A
lace curtain separates it from the rest OF the
library, and this is the shrine of the house.
Throughout the rest of the house there are
many rare and curious pieces of furniture,
and the curios of lifetime spent among the
most prominent people of the world are here
to be seen. Mrs. Dahlgren has known Wash
ington and Washington life intimately for
the past generation and more. Her father
was one of the leading Wing members OF
congress, and she came here with him as
girl long before the war As long ago
as the days of Buchanan she published
sketches and poems under the pen name
of Corinne In 1873 she made herself
noted by opposing woman suffrage. She
is very modest lady, with the gentlest
Of manners, and she talks very interest
ingly of the prominent people of the
past. She is the founder of the Literary
society of Washington, and her house has for
years been frequented by the most noted
people of the country. She still writes, and
she is as earnest in her church work as she
is in a literary way. She he's translated from
the French work on Plus TX, and from the
Spanish, Donoso CorteS' Catholicism,
Liberalism and Socialism" and for this she
received the thanks of the pope.
Mrs. Gen. Hazen also lives in Washington.
She is now renting house, while her big
mansion on Sixteenth and streets is being
occupied by Senator EvartS

was no monotony in this part Of the journey.
AS we rose higher and higher we had a con-
stantly charging view of the great plain be-
low, until dim aud misty in the distance it
blended with the sky. Then We would pass
through a gigantic cleft in the rocks, and
looking upward, see only narrow streak OF
the sky above us; then emerging from that,
skim along the edge Of a precipice Of 1000
feet OF more OF sheer descent Then com.
paratively level space, TO be followed by new
view, cleft and precipice, each varying from
the last; and as we mounted still higher, now
and then through some gap would come o
glimpse Of the distant Himalayas, clad in their
robes of eternal snow, 100 miles away, but ir
the marvellous clearness OF that Indian at
mosphere they seemed at a scarcely greater
distance than could be accomplished by ar
easy walk Then there were the stops at ths

the unintelligble chattering and wild geSt-
ures of IN. natives, conscious the while that

thinks those rich sahibs great fools when
they could stay at home in comfort, to spend
their time and money just to see n mountain
or u strange city.
So with these various changes the day
passed by, until about 3 o'clock, as we rounded
huge promontory, we saw Simla scarcely
mile away as the crow flies, but IA good fol-.
miles by the road for between us and it was
one of the enormous chasms SO frequent in
the Himalayas, around which we had to pass.
At length, however, we arrived at the tonga
station, and escorted by crowd of coolies,
carrying our baggage, proceeded to our
hotel
Simla is n unique place. 1t is built on the
side Of steep declivity, so that the roof Of
one house is generally about on n level with
the foundation of the one in the next tier
Flights of steps afford the means of ascent
and descent. Horses and wagons are entirely
out of the question, and all burdens are car
ried by the coolies. There are few jinrikis-
haz-small two wheeled carriages drawn by
one or two men--owned by private families,
but the wayfarer must trust to his own
powers Of locomotion, or miss the magnit-
cent views which constantly meet his eye in
every direction as he goes from point to point
in the neighborhood
There are number Of fine buildings in
Simla erected for government use and each
year additions are made to the number. 1t
seems strange that with all the traffic during
the summer a railway has not been built, but
apparently no steps have as yet been taken.
The town also boasts of fine lecture room
and good library and very pretty church.
The English rs people reverence God, and
wherever in the world number of them are
gathered together, the spire of their church
rises toward heaven to testify To the fact
The church in Simla is built upon the
crown of ridge and the ground slopes
downward on either side. As you stand on
the porch you can see two little brooks; you
might almost cast stone into either And
yet the water of one, after a Journey of
800 miles, reaches the Arabian sea by
way of the Indus, while the other goes to
swell the mighty Gauges, and after travelling
800 miles is poured into the bay of Bengal
We fortunately took IA long walk and saw
most of the points of interest ON the after
noon of our arrival, for when we awoke the
next morning there was Il foot Of snow on
the ground and it was still falling. The
storm continued all day, and although the
next one was pleasant it was impossible to go
about, and the following morning We started
on our return. Although the snow was so
heavy at SImla, 10y the time we had gone
eight miles and descended about 1000 feet
there was not II trace of it on our road.
