A HISTORIC MANSION.
Restoring a Genuine Washington
Headquarters in New York City.

Restoring Genuine Washington
Headquarters in New York City.
New York Times.
} Carpenters were busy yesterday on
the upper floors of the old building at
the corner of Broad and Pearl streets,
known as Faunce's tavern, and bearing
upon its wall the sign "Washington's
Headquarters" The old landmark is
in very bad way, and there is great
deal of work to be done before it can
he considered renovated.
May1 new tenant, EWald Hagan,
obtained lease of the property from
the owner, the Mccarthy estate. AS
soon as he took possession he made up
his mind. he explained YESTERDAY, that
the colonial relic was not comfortable
.habitation as it stood. Any lingering
doubts he may have entertained on
the subject were ended with the first
storm. The. rain came through leaks
in the roof and wet the new lessee.
A look over the premises yesterday
showed that the building which had
sheltered Washington and the revolu-
tionary leaders, and had been the early
meeting place of the New York cham
Der of commerce, had suffered sadly
from We ar and tear. There were heaps
of broken plaster in the upper halls ard
the flooring there was broken in some
places and unpleasantly worn in others.
The windows fitted their frames in the
way that the garments of the youngest
son of large family are likely to fit.
The old stairs, of course, shared in the
general gOne-tO-Seed air of the upper re-
gons of the house. On these floors the
workmen had made progress and had
fitted some of the rooms with new floors
and other needed improvements.
The large room on the first floor, in
which Washington had his headquar-
tiers, is in far better condition than the
stories above it. 1t has been kept as
nearly as possible in its old condition.
On the walls hang placardS announcing
the farewell of Washington. Another
tells of the first meeting of the chamber
of commerce, April 5, 176S. At that
time Bolton & Sigel kept the tavern,
and another placard tells how Samuel
Faunce became the landlord and opened
his doors to the public Thursday, Sept.
90, ITO.
The old arrangements in this room
will be maintained as far as possible,
but Mr.. Hagan says that he will have
the rest of the old house as bright as
new button in month or so.

MISTAKEN IDENTIFY.
Some Cases That Have Lately
Happened in England.

New York Ledger.
Accounts have been recently pub
lished in England of three cases of mis-
taken identity. In two of these the
error has reference to the bodies of
dead persons, whilst in the third the
mistake occurred in the Identifying of
living subject.
On Christmas day, woman living in
Liverpool, named Catherine Reed, who
had been drinking, did not return home.
On the following morning the body of
a woman was discovered by the side of
the river Mersey. This was identified
by Catherine Reeds son as that of his
mother. An inquest was held. and
in due course the funeral took
place. The money for which Mrs.
Reeds life was insured was drawn by
her son. On March Catherine Reed
returned home, and, as if to add further
proof of her confined existence, claimed
her share of the insurance money. Dur
ing the interval that elapsed between
her supposed death and her restoration
to her family, she was twice admitted to
the Liverpool workhouse infirmary.
From there she wrote to her son, but
the latter, thinking he was being
hoayed, took no notice of the cOmmuni-
cation.
The second case happened at Paris in
February. A Catholic named Dorlin
was admitted into the Rothschild hos
pital, where he died on Feb. %. On the
next day Hebrew named Brunswick
expired in the same institution. By
mistake of the hospital attendant
the bodies got mixed. Although
Nine. Dorlin had same doubts as to the
hodv choyyn haino that of her late huS-
band, these were dispelled by the assur-
ance of her relatives that post-mortem
changes sufficiently explained the dis
crepancy. On February 26 requiem
mass VISA celebrated and the body of the
Jew inferred with Catholic ritual in
Islay cemetery. On the following day
Brunswick's son found that the corpse
shown him was not that of his father,
and the mistaken identity was made
clear. Some difficulties occurred with
regard to the interment of the actual
body of Dorlin, both as regards expense
and the procuring of clerical aid to sep
uIture. These were at last overcome,
but the body of Brunswick remained in
a Catholic grave until an order for an
exhumation could be obtained.
On March curious case was
brought to light at Hampton Petty ses-
sions, A woman named Watts was
charged on her own confession with
obtaining wearing apparel from a Mrs.
Priestley under false pretenses. A
week previously woman named Law
xence was committed for trial at the
MiddleseX sessions for the same OffenSe.
Mrs. Priestley and another woman then
swore to the identity of the woman
Lawrence. who asserted her Innocence.

Albert Brunswick, census enumera-

question of much interest to himself. In
his district is situated the boom house

The special exercises at the Methodist
and Universalist churches in observance
of "Children's Day" yesterday were of
unusual interest and attracted large
attendance. At the former addresses
were delivered by Prof. Maria Sanford,
of the state university: Supt. f. I. VIII

others.
Mrs. Rose arrived yesterday from the
South, on a long deferred visit to her
nephews, Cole and Jim Younger. at the
prison. She is accompanied by niece
of the boys, and all enjoyed an en-
thusiastic reunion in the prison library
during the greater part Of the day.

ovERREACHED HIMSELF.
How Maud SIS First Owner Ac-
uuired Possession of Her.

quired Possession of Her.
1t is pretty generally known that
Capt. George N. Stone, of Cincinnati,
was the original owner of the famous
mare, Maud S. The following incident,
showing that it was mere chance
which made her his property, may not
be so familiar, says Chatter. Capt. Stone
and fellow townSman, Mr.. H. de-
clded to go down into the Kentucky
bluegrass region and see what
they could pick up in the way of
yearling colts. They each wanted
one. Now Mr.. H was man noted
for his shrewdness and ability to
get the best of everything for the least
money. After skirmishing around
the stock farms two such animals as
they were looking for were obtained
and shipped to the Ohio river to be sent
to Cincinnati on the steamboat. 1t was
curious coincidence that the two
horses cost the same and, moreover, re-
Sembled each other very closely. The
two gentlemen went back to Cincinnati
by rail and were present on the arrival
of the boat which brought their pur-
chaseS. AS the horses were brought
down the gang-plank the first one aD
peared with its coat in good condition
and spirits way up. The second was
rather rough-coated from rubbing
against the stall and came meekly
along. Mr.. H sized up these appear
anceS and said he guessed he'd take his
colt up himself, at the same time reach
ing forward for the halter of the first
horse. Capt. Stone said: ''H-, l
think that one is mine."
"Oh, no, it isn't, Stone," replied
A. 'Iremember mine had smooth
coat of hair"
"Well, all right" remarked the ac-
commodating Stone, II guess there's
not much difference. The horses cost
the same and are the same age. Trot
her off,
Capt. Stone took his colt home, and
when his daughter saw the meek little
animal she Immediately took fancy to
it and made pet of it. So her father
called it after her name, "Maud S." 1t
is needless to say that rs colt has

THE AMERICAN DERBY.

an Open Race.

Betting Indicates That 1t Will Be
an Open Race.
The American Derby, to be run at
Chicago on June 81, the opening day of
the Washington Park meeting, is just
now the leading topic of conversation
among patrons and followers of the
turf. Seventy-two colts and fillies are
eligible to start for this rich three-year-
old event. and it is fair to presume that
there Will be large field of starters.
Early in the season the public conceded
the race to Ell Rio Rey in consequence
of his phenomenal two-year-old record,
but since his sickness and the various
conflicting reports as to his condition
there has been great change in the
opinions of the wise heads who are
wont to name the winners of big events
a long way in advance. Under the cir
cumstances it looks at present as though
it would be very open race, with
heavy betting, for the owners of such
good horses as Bill Letcher. Rosemont,
Penn p, Uncle Bob. Helter-Skelter,
Honduras, Santiago. BlarneyStone, Jr.,
Jed, Frontino, Rascal, Protection, Eber-
lee, Extravaganza and many others are
not disposed to believe that their pets
have not good chance to gather in
the rich plum, and thus materially in
crease the owners bank account.

Miss Hattie Harvey and Patti.

A great many Milwaukeeans remem-
ber Miss Hattie Harvey, says YeEo-
wines News. She first attracted local
atteption as the roller-skate artist. and
was for several seasons the bright par
ticular star at the exposition rink. Last
fall she returned to Milwaukee as an
actress. playing at the academy in the
'sLlttle Tramp" That was the last l
heard of her until yesterday, when l
saw in the New York World that she
had just sailed on the Umbria for
Europe. She goes on the invitation of
Nine. Patti to visit her at her castle in
Wales. Nine. Patti, while in Chicago
last December. witnessed the perform
ance of Miss Harvey, and took such a
fancy to her acting and became SO fond
of her personally that she insisted that
she become her guest for the summer.
If am not mistaken, the young woman
was engaged to marry an East side dude
at the time of her departure.

MILITARY MUSIC.
1t Is Governed by Strict Regula-
tions in Great Britain.

Anthen8um.
The Royal College of Music for the
British army is bound by the queens
regulations for the army to use the
philharmonic" orchestral pitch. Col.
Shaw-Hellier, the colonel commandant
of that institution, has recently OBJ
tanned the aid of A. j. HipkinS, of
Messrs. Broadwood & Sons, to adjust
the Kneler Hall standard tuning fork
to the pitch adopted by the London
Philharmonic society when Sir
Michael Costa was the conductor
of Its orchestra QS4654, and still
maintained, The correction is to b
fiat 1872 double vibrations at 60 degrees
Fahrenheit, and is equivalent at that
temperature to A 1924 and G 53S. Fol
lowing the coefficient for rise of tenn
peratnre as determined for the smaller
wind instruments by D. J. Blaikley,
viz: .25 per degree, the c will be $40
double vibrations for IS degrees, a
pitch which may be accepted as the
mean for concert orchestras. The
larger wind instruments rise more rap
idly. The desirability of uniform
pitch for military bands being observed
when they are to be massed, as will be
the case in the forthcoming military ex-
hibition at Chelsea, is evident.

TRIALS OF A STARTER.
Neither Pulling Nor Helping
ShOuId Re Tolerated,

Neither Pulling Nor Helping
Should Be Tolerated.
Talking of the trials and tribulations
of starting judge, an expert tersely
gave his views as follows: "a good
plan is to let the horses be scored two
or three times. then select the pole
horse, if an average scorer and steady
going, as the one to score by. When
this is done and a driver willfully spoils
a score after fair warning he should be
fined in earnest. If a horse is bad
actor and spois two or three starts, his
driver should be notified that he
must take his chances hereafter in
scoring for the heat, and if the others are
in line the word should be given regard
less of the song and dance prolongerS
Of scoring. The starter should be firm,
but not dictatorial. Let him give the
drivers to understand that neither pull
ing nor helping will be tolerated.; that
no horse can be started for work only,
but all must be driven for the money"
1t is TOO late in the day to preach on the
moral evils attendant on gambling, and
when not abused the facilities for bet
ting on the horse one fancieS add con-
slderably to the enjoyment of the sport.
All this is so self-evident that it would
scarcely need repeating butte point out
that the public demand for opportuni-
ties to bet on race tracks should be met
by the best possible supply. Assocla-
tions sell the betting privileges for
large sums, and it is incumbent on
them to see that the public gets a fair
show. OF late complaints have been
rife at many trotting and pacing meet
ings that intending buyers OF pools find
it difficult and often Impossible to III
vest on an apparently good thing, ow-
ing to the fact that the poolseller him
self has an agent on the outside buying
for him. This certainly should be put
a stop to. The poolseller, with sheet
before him, and the knowledge of how
owners and drivers are placing their
money, has an undOubted advantage
over the general public. He gets
commission of 8 per cent on every bet
made, and this should be enough to sat
isfy him. There is need of little more
strlneencv in the conditions under
which the poolseller acquires his priv
ilege, and associations should look to it
that he does not enter into such
an unfair competition with owners OF
horses and the race-going public.
A word of encouragement at the right
time often has a marvellous effect, as
shown by an incident recently related
by w. H. Lockwood, about the late John
Murphy, and recalling his good quail
ties of head and heart. "He showed me
the greatest and most unexpected favor
| ever received in race" said Lock
wood. sit was in the 1928 class.at Fleet
wood, three springs ago, when Murphy
was behind Western Belle. She won
l. - har, 0nI- n
third in 2:24115. Well, as l was bringing
Sir Walter Jr. up the hill and slowly
gaining on the leaders, found Western
Belle directly in my way. Murphy hap
pened to spy me and pulled aside to let
me pass. shouting: Pm done; go on;
you can beat Dan to the Wire The act
and the words gave me a lot, of conf
dence and courage, so Iset sail for Dan,
and after driving finish beat him to
the wire, just as honest John pre-
dicted."

CYRUS Field Tries to Compel a

New York Star.
Mr.. Field, through his connection
with the Manhattan Railroad company,
is known to every employe on the four
roads = especially the gatemen. The
latter all admire him-from distance
but when ne happens to pass through
their station it is different matter, and
a heartfelt sigh of relief goes out when
he boards train and leaves the plat
form. This anxiety on their part is due
solely to his bitter hostility to tobacco
smoke. The rules of the company in
sist that no smoking shall be tolerated
on the platform, and he is credited with
seeing that it is enforced as much as
possible.

one day last week, in which Mr.. Field
played prominent part, lie came uIl-
eXpectedly on downtown station at
time when four or five gentlemen were
enjoying the fragrance of good cigars.
MI. Field actually Giared at them; then
turning to the unlucky gateman, he
poured on his head all the wrath at his
command. Pointing out one Individual
who sat smoking a cigarette, MI. Field
directed the gateman TO have it stopped,
and in the meantime the millionaire
promised to stand guard over the box.
The gateman promptly responded, but,
bearing in mind the rule which said no
violence should be used, simply re-
quested the gentleman to throw his
cigarette away.
The latter declined, and Mr.. Field. on
hearing it, went to the attack himself.
At first he requested. then demanded,
that the smoking should stop. The
cigarette fiend, however, merely smiled
and puffed the harder. The other smok-
ers recognized Mr.. Field, and also sent
out dense volumes of smoke. Finally
the objector got disgusted, and, jump
ing into a train which just then came
into the station, he took his departure
and speculated on human wickedness

The tendency on the running turf

the Futurity, worth about $4,000; the

the three-year-olds the Realization. the
