bought this rarity in New York some years ago

demolished, and presented it to her father.

Adjacent to the mantel in the left recess Is
most exquisite piece of furniture that is in
every particular the highest specimen Of artistic
workmanship. Its door panels contain the

DRAWING ROOMS.
They occupy all that side Of the first floor
and seem almost crowded with furniture, there
is such profusion of quaint things to sit upon,
noted, with but few exceptions only, for being
odd in shape or rich in design, while on the
walls the family history goes on. There are
two medallions--exponent of Mrs Chase's &C.

standards Of amateur work in that line,
being sketches from nature of English scenery.
A jardiniere of Swiss carving with other
ornaments are scattered about with that alb
sence Of design which is the perfection arrange
ment A pair Of fine old Saxon vases occupy
corner brackets. They are about eighteen
inches high, of light color. with flowers on them,
very rare, being of Royal Dresden ware of the
time OF James the First, whose portrait in me-
dallion is on one and Queer Elizabeth's on the
other. These were made for presents to royalty
as fit to ornament kings houses or palace halls.
In the back drawing room is a writing desk
OF the colonial period-a chest of drawers with
turned down top leaf, with writing material.

Between the back windows is an Italian cabinet.
rich and rare enough to make a connoisseur
rave with admiration. 1t is covered with real
Mosaic inlaying. 1t has many drawers. with
secret springs and concealed hooks. dear to the
heart and exciting to the imagination Of the
romancer.
The Old Gales Mansion,
Not far from ''Edgewood" stands an old resi-
dencr that soon will disappear. It is interest
ing as the home Of Joseph Gales, so long con-
nected with the management of the National
l,.tel,genc CO. This once fine old place long ago
reached the pathetic stage and affects one like
the empty clothes Of a departed friend. 1t is
weatherworn and bears many marks of decay
ing age as well as traces Of former grandeur.
1t Is beautifully situated on rise Of ground.

From its porch picturesque views unfold in
every direction OF scenery that combines the
distant CLEAN of church spires with rural wales
Of beauty which the electric railway is rapidly
converting into city. lexington, the new
suburban settlement is just at the foot Of the
hill on which the mansion stands.
THE OLD ENTRANCE.
The visitor enters The wide hail which sweeps
through the roomy house, but looks dreadfully
forlorn when one contrasts its present naked
ness with what ii might have been when hospi-
tally reigned under the roof. Here Presidents.
with such men as Webster Clay. Calhoun and
hosts Of representative men, have doubtless
met promenaded and talked with the fair
women of that far-of time, and partaken of
sumptuous dinners served in the great dining
room, which is Just back of the drawing ROOM
on the left side Of the hall The store room is
fit adjunct to the dining room. 1t is about
forty feet long by twenty-five wide. Closets
and shelves line its walls. and the buffers

the conveniences for conducting entertain

BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
From this porch Washington can be seen
through vistas Of the trees-a most charming
view of the city and suburbs combined, with
the Potomac river and Virginia hills in the dis
lance. The Capitol stands out finely, its SYM
merical proportions
BEING CLEARLY DEFINED
from the Goddess of Liberty on the dome
TO the basement. The dome looks like
great white inverted bell resting on a mar
BILE pedestal grit about with rings Of emerald
green.
THE WIDE HALL.
It is always the hall that stamps the character
Of house. The roomy hall of Edgewood in
its appointments seems to speak of the wide
hospitality that has ALWAYS characterized the
place, and the pictures and ornaments on the
walls are kind of preface of what one is to
expect beyond. 1t seems to have the family
history outlined upon its walls in articles of
furniture, paintings and engravings, Refine
bule rare specimens OF antique furniture and
many souvenirs of the past. There is an oil
painting Of the chef justice taken when he was
IN his prime; an engraving of Carpenters THE
Emancipation Proclamation" with it's historic
significance. On the other side Of the wall is
painting OF a group of pet dogs, the
property of Mrs. Kate Chase when she was
situated SO to have almost anything that
money could buy. II was painted by a very
talented young animal painter who took the
first prize for animal painting at the centennial
The dogs are all life size and they are SO real
istic as counterfeits that it would be no sur
prise to hear one bark.
Don Quixote, one of the group, weighed go
pounds, while Toy, another. weighed n
Beneath this picture stands an old carved
Venitian marriage chest, very elaborate and
costly-one OF those specimens picked up
by the mistress of the mansion when abroad
years ago. Chairs, tables and other bits of fur
niture complete the furnishing. Between the
dinine room doors hang the slender fencing
swords and foils-for all the Chase children
fence, especially Miss Ethel, the eldest daughter
THE LIBRARY.
On the right is the library, which seems to
speak more forcibly Of the chief Justices pres
eDce than any other room in the house His
refined tastes and scholarly mind have found
expression and companIonship with the silent
friends he gathered around him on these
shelves.
In the space between the book cases on the
north aide of the room on a pedestal stands the
marble bust OF Chief Justice Chase-the very
latest one made and the same as is also seen in
the Supreme Court room at the capitol Di-
rectly opposite. over a book case hangs an oil
portrait All the pictures and busts have per-
sonality that is remarkable. The book cases
have been cut down. they formerly extended

the Three Americas exposition. He says:
''There can be no other compromise between
the jealousies existing between Chicago, New
York. st. Louis and the other cities aspiring
for the privilege than the selection of Wash-
ington. 10 choose Gotham it would be a pro-
vincial affair, whereas Washington, unlike any
other city or spot, is the focus, the center Of
the republic, everlasting, ever civilizing, ever
progressive, ever safe, and ever free. Other
members of the chamber of commerce coincide
In the superintendent's views.
