Plutocrat MOrton's Magnificent House.
From the Philadelphia Press
The new residence of Vice President Nor,
ton in its present grandeur will surpass all
other private dwellings in Washington, and
be fitting basis on whjcl to reconstruct
at the opening of the republics second
century, the tame idea hitherto entertained
of the social functions of the vice presi-
dency. In location it is a fitting companion
piece to the white house, from which it is
plainly visible in a straight line I'D the
broad sweep of Sixteenth street. 1t was the
handsomest residence in Washington when
built by Lieut. Broadaead, United States
navy, some ten years ago, but he was soon
very glad to get away from the seductions
OF Washington llfe and his friends were es-
peclally glad to have him: and so the social
career of tie mansion was short before it
fell into the hands Of its charming deaf
mute mistress, Mrs. Alex. Graham Bell.
With her scholarly husband she has dis
pensed beautiful charities there, and in her
acquired speech, inaudible to her own
sealed ears, she has welcomed stately men,
bers OF learned societies on many notable
occasions, as well as the ordinary social
world OF the CAPT al. The upper story of
the house was destroyed by fire four wears
ago, with many of Prof. Bells most valued
scientific memorabilia. Since it was rebuilt
they have never looked upon it as their
permanent home, and were glad to yield its
bulky magniticencs to a new proprietorship
when the wealrhiest Vice President in the
country's history desired to become pur-
chaser. The house is in the hands of
a prominent builder here, and its new
ground extension accommodates $50 feet
depth of drawing-room space, all bea lti-
fully south-windo ed and looking out upon
conservatories and love y landscape. fhis
space is divided iato the drawing-room
proper, the art room and a dining-room "a

ready for the decorators. There are on the
main floor cloak rooms for ladies and men.
