The Bell house year ago was badly in
jured IN the upper story by fire, but this
has been thoroughly repaired by Prof Bell.
1t is one of the largest, most spaciously ar
ranged houses IN the city.
There is large entrance hall on the Rock
Island avenue side Of the house, with
grand staircase leading up to the upper
floors; On the left TO the laboratory, on the
right to the reception room. Opening from
this latter room is the parlor and drawing
room, behind which is the large dining room,
which Mr.. Morton will still further enlarge.
The entire house is finished in hard wood,
beautifully decorated 1t is understood that
Mr.. Morton has leased this house for four
years al rental of $4,000 a year. Prof.
Bell, with his beautiful wife and children,
spends his summers up in Nova Scotia near
Baddeck, the town that Charles Dudley
Warner made famous, and when he is in
Washington he makes his home out at Du-

Mr. Blaine has taken quarters at the
Hotel Normandie, on Mcpherson square,
built by John Mclean, of the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER. He is not satisfied with hotel
life, however, never having enjoyed IT, and
Of late has been LOOKING about for home.
He has decided to take the Seward mansion
on Lafayette square. This old house has
been occupied for a number of years by the
Office of the Commissary General of the
army 1t was in this mansion that Seward
lived while Secretary Of State and here it
was that Payne, the assassin, forced his way
to Stewards room and attempted TO kill the
old man.
The house has a rather tragic history. 1t
used TO be used as a clubhouse before the
war About three rods from the front door
is the spot where Sickles shot Barton Key
Straight across the park to the west is the
Sckles house, that thirty years ago was
clearly visible from the club house, all the
intervening shrubbery so luxurious now
having been planted since then. The
Seward mansion is probably the nearest
dwelling in Washington to the White House.
If Mr.. Blame is to be the chief adviser Of
the administration, as every one says he
will be, this house is just what he wants.
