Dolly Madison's House.

Washington Press.
The old historic houses of Washing
ton are rapidly passing away. The
march of improvem requires that
more modern dwellings with greater
conveniences shall take their place.
There still exists, on the corner of
Eighteenth street and New York av-
enue, house that in its day was
one of the most famous in our city. 1t
has, because of his peculiar build, al
ways been known as the ''Octagon
house." 1t was built by John Tayloe, a
rich Virglnian. and the father of Ben
jamin Ogle Tayloe, whose residence
is now occupied by Senator Don Cam
erOn on Lafayette Square. When
the British burned the White
house in 1914 the Tayloe prop
erty was rented by the govern
ment for an executive mansion, and
here it was that Mistress dolly" Madi-
son gave her dinners and receptions
until the White house was made
habitable again. The Rt. Hon. Charles
Bagot. a deglomat of large experience.
was the English minister to this
country for the most of the
time that Mrs. Madison resided in
this house, and he wrote to friend in
London that, although he had been sta
toned in most of the capitals of Europe,
and, of course. had been most hand
somely entertained, he had never spent
pleaSanter evenings than in the COM
paratively plain dwelling place of Mrs.
Madison. A high compliment to the
wife Of the fourth president.

THEY REMARKED.

General Manager Byron-I am feel
ing about as good over the prospects of
the exposition as man could. 1t is
going to be great show. The exhibits
will be better, the music much better
than we have had before, and the art
exhibit the best we have ever had.
Local exhibitors are beginning to wake
up and inquire for their space, and
some Of them are getting left because
the early applications must be cOnsid-
cred before those of men who dash in
at the last minute and demand the space
they had last year. However, / hope to
find room for all of the best. =,
Ace P. Abell-I don't think S. l..
Trunell's appointment from a Demo-
cratic collector of revenue will hold. If
Eugene Hay is appointed as district at
torney you'll see he will not stay there
long. j. d. Muldoon had the strongest
backing of any of the candidates and
deserves the appointment.
Thomas Lowry-The report about
Senator Washburn was bad piece of
business. 1t circulated largely in the
East and did him good deal of harm.
1t was so unnecessary and so much at
variance with the truth that it was an
outrage to print or circulate it. How
did it originate?

A POLITE MAN.
Police Commissioner Gjertsen in
a Funny Clerical Role.

The inside history of the differences
in opinion among the triumvirate of
police commissioners will probably
eventually be all written. The dra-
matte features of the recent squabble
have been pretty well written up,
and now the funny features are
coming out. Commissioner Gjert-
sen is not satisfied with
the result of the King-HaIl investiga-
ton, and reiterates that both should
have been fined or neither. His col
leagues do not sympathize with him in
his distress over the retention of Hall,
and quietly laugh at what they claim
are his numerous changes of base.
There is also little piece of business
enterprise on the part of the Republi-
can member which has stirred up mirth
in some quarters. 1t is the custom
when the commission has three appoint
ments to make on the force, for each
commissioner to name man. and the
others accept him if there is no Objec-
ton to him. Each candidate for ap-
pointment is obliged to get five hackers
or ndOrSerS in his written application:
and fathered by one of the mem
the business sagacity of Commissioner
Gjertsen. who is a prosperous grocer,
comes in. He has been in the habit,
when man was appointed, of sending
his indOrsers circular letter, of which
the following, copied from the original,
is an illustration:
OFFICE OF NH. GJERTsEN, WHOLESALE AND
RETAIL GROCER, 113 FIRST STREET NORTH,
MINNEAPOLIS, June 10. 1se9.@-Alonzo j.
Phillips. Alderman.--Dear Sir: The applica-
ton bearing your Endorsement of Charles
Metzger, 1929 Eighth street, for appoint
ment on the Minneapolis police force, has
been considered and acted on. Your friends
are appointed. Yours truly,
N. H. GJERTsEN
These circulars bear the impress of
having been printed in blank for the
purpose of making these polite notifica-
tons, and are so constructed that the
words can be pluralized with little
trouble in case more than one applica-
ton has been acted upon at meeting.
The other commissioners are ignorant
of any law making it a commissioners
duty to send out such circulars, and the
inference is that the commissioner cou-
Piles with the information nice little
Babb should use Cedar Lake Ice COM
pany letter heads for like purpose,
or Commissioner Guile Omaha railway
stationery. Besides, the commissioner
has taken the trouble in some cases to
address the indorsers of men he did not
propose for place on the force as in the
case above. MIR. Guile nominated Metz
ger. The circular is an example of the
blooming freshness that has accom-
panied Gjertsen ever since he become
a police commissioner

a REFORMED GAMBLER.
Westminster Folks Treated to An
Address by One.


The regular midweek prayer service
at Westminster church was enlivened
last evening by an address from Rev.
Steve P. Holcomb, of Louisville, known
throughout the country as 1.-The Re-
formed Gambler" He was advertised
to talk about himself and give sketches
of his somewhat adventurous career.
and he did it too in quite an
able and unique manner. A great
many people had heard of 1.-THE Re-
formed Gambler" but very few of
them had ever seen him. so that when
he came into the room in company with
Rev. Robert Christie, of the House of
Hope church, st. Paul, every neck was
craned forward and every eye bulged
out. Rev. Christie introduced the
speaker, and stated that he had known
him eight years, having first met
him in Louisville. 1.-THE Reformed
Gambler is a little wiry-
looking man, about forty years of age.
He is sharp featured, wears gold
trimmed glasses and sandy mustache
just tinged with gray. When he arose
to speak. naturally everybody looked at
him, and, although he has probably
faced a thousand of audiences, he

The speaker had something of the Sam
Jones style of speaking with
slight twang attached, which, to-
gether with rather unique
subject, made his discourse
very interesting.
Il don't wish to expose the tricks or
methods of gambling" continued he,
"as many have done, because that
would get all the gamblers down on me,
and want them all on my side and

An idea of the S Aviation army, sort of
a campaign that is to be instituted can
be gained from the following gems
which created wild enthusiasm:
There's patient little woman here below,
And a little kid that ought to have show;
Now I'll give the whisky up,
And I'll take coffee cup
With Mollie and the baby, don't you know!
Chorus
Don't you know. don't you know,
What fellow ought to do
When he's got little family depending on
him so?
He should try to be a man,
And to do the best he can
For Molly and the baby, don't you know

the quartet gave as an encore:

the city attorney as to the validity OF a
franchise to Anderson Il Douglas by
allowing such terms as the council pro-
posed to be even named. President
Downs statement by accept
ing the councils proposition
after five hours consideration. 1t
is fair to suppose that Mr.. Lowry I'M
derstood the proposition before he went
away, and the aldermanic ifs" which
figured SO largely in the debate, were
purely ornamental. There never was
any ''it' about it. The majority of the
council simply threw away the offer of
competition and turned their worship
ing gaze on the exclusive franchise.

over the remains of Mrs. Fannie Bailey,

her room on Second avenue south, was
much the same as the facts pub

the woman had told Samuel Smith, the

going to end her misery. Smith had
heard her talk that way before and took
no stock in what she said. eu
The jury found that she died by her
