sang sweetly through all the commotion
the little rodent made. but the number of
her listeners were few in comparison to
those who kept track of the mouse and
watched the frightened women. Finally

L1ruoNIA, Ca, March 12.-The military
ball IN progress last night in the chapel Of
the academy was under the protection of
the courts OF the state. The church people
sought an injunction against it. This was
refused by Superior Court Judge Clark, ON
the ground that public policy favored the
meeting of the sexes. In rendering his de-
cision Judge Clark said: Under tie cir
cumstances l think this dance will
have to 60 or. It would not be right
aud proper for me to interfere at this
late date. The young ladies have gone to a
groat deal of trouble, ! know. in preparing
their new dresses with all the fancy tixings
known to young ladies, and the young men
have bought swailow-tailed coats. low-cut
vests, and fancy-bosomed shirts. and it
would be highly improper for me to stop the
dance at this critical period. Thsn. again,
il l were to stop this ball. it might break
up several weddings, and the most serious
consequences might follow. so | feel 1T my
duty to say go on with tho dance"
Lawyer Brasswell remarked that he sup
posed the gentlemen of the ball would ten
der the judge a free ticket. Judge CLARK
smiled and announced that he would Sci

aides as to whether or not any balls should
be held in this building in tho future. All
the society people of the surrounding coun-
ty were in attendance at the ball. and the

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.

The Affections and Ills That Have Visited
Its Inmates.
Speaking of the famous old mansion in
which James G. Blaine died. the New York
Press says:
It was once a fashionable boarding
house, and accommodated such celebrated
men as John G. Calhoun, who boarded
there during his terms rs secretary of war
ana vice president: Henry Clay, who lived
there while secretary of atate in The admin
istration of President John Quincy
Adams, and even President Polk. who &C
cupied apartments in it while repairs were
being made to the executive mansion. Ills
rooms were the same AZ those occupied by
Blaine in his late illness. The Washington
club, All organization of gay young men OF
the capital. next secured POSSESSION. On
Fob. %, 1859, Francis Barton Key. son OF
the author of the "Star-spanRled Banner
md then district attorney for the District
of Columbia, was shot on the threshold by
Gen. Daniel Il. sickles. at that tins u
member of congress from New York. Key
was hu, rying from the club house to an-
swer tho signal of q 1uttering handkerchief
displayed in MIS-. Sickles' window. when
the wronged husband shot him through the
heart.
In the early part Of President Lincoln's
administration Secretary OF State William
Ii. Seward took the house. 1t WAS in n
room on the second floor where he lay
confined to his bed from All accident while
driving when his assassination WAS at
tempted by a member of the band of con-
spirators to which John Wilkes Booth, who
shot President Lincoln, belonged. Mr..
Seward was stabbed several times, and his
son, Frederick w. Seward, who came to his
assistance. to-day carries u AGAR on his
head received from the same knife.
The government rented the house af-
ter the war. and then for u number Of
years it stood vacant. 1t had served az the
office of the commissary-general of subsis-
tenoe for several years when it was again
vacated, and Mr.. Blaine rented it. He made
many alterations, especially IN the second
floor. around which the grewsome memories
seemed to him to hover.
The Blaines took possession of the house
of evil omen in the fall of 1889. Two months
later Mrs. Blaine's sister. Mrs. Stanwood.
died: then Mr.. Blaine's only brother, Major
Blaine; next MIR. Blaine's eldest daughter,
Mrs. Coppinger; then his eldest and favor
lite son. Walker Blaine, and finally his Sec
ond son, Emmons.
