The washinctons In Boston.


The first visit of the Washingtons to this
city this season, says Jake Morse in the Boston
Herald will be attended with more interest
than that OF any other club thus far, for the
Washington club contains several players who
are warm favorites in this vicinity.
Mr.. Morse then proceeds to say: 1.-THE mag
nifcent work Of Charley Farrell while with the
Boston Reds is still very fresh i'll the memory
Of Bostonians Farrell has resumed his old
place behind the bat. and his work has been
superb. Then there is Paul Radford. one of
the best run getters of the Washingtons No
greater favorites played on the Congress street
grounds than little Cub Stricken Another
favorite Bostonian was Sam Wise. He has set
Washington wild with the splendid work he has
been doing at second base. and his perform
ances this season entitle him to comparison
with the best second basemen in the country
Bostonians will discover new light in the
new Washington short stop, Joe Sullivan
This young man is a Charlestown boy. He is an
excellent fielder and a strong batsman. Joe
Mulvey, another Boston favorite, who earned
his greatest laurels IN Providence, has few
superiors on third base when in the best of
condition. That hard-hitting first baseman,
Larkin, holds down firs: bag. and the dummy
(Hoy) Is still in center field. Meakin will
probably do the pitching.
Last, but surely not least, comes Capt
James H. O'Rourke, one Of the veterans in the
business. and one of the best exemplars of
base ball in the country. O'Rourke is both
manager and captain of the Washington club
this season, and he has filed both places with
great credit. ORourke played for many sea-
sons a member of the Boston club.
The Bostons will have to play ball to win
from such an aggregation as Manager O'Rourke
brings with him.
Base Ball Notes.
1t was no disgrace to lose such a game as
yesterdays at Boston.
Staley and Maui must have had that very
tired feeling. Seven homo runs in q game
makes a record.
New York lost yesterday by wild pitching.
King and Donahue punched their wildness, 30
that the game was lost when Crane was put in.
The only change III the standing of the clubs
was the breaking of the tie for fifth place be-
tween st. Louis and Boston, the latter now
being on top.
The national board has decided in the case of
TAYLOR. base ball player claimed by the Albany
club. tina, Taylor is still under reservation by
the ALBANY club. and cannot play with any
other club until released BY Albany or the
national board.
Orioles. we are proud OF you, though we do
not like to see you climbing up over US in this

day, and the first race, it is expected. will

when he worked in his first sawmill, and he
labors just as hard. He is wrapped up in
his business, and goes at times from lumber
camp to lum ber camp, taking pot luck with
his nen and having thorough knowledge
of every detail of his business He is man
of great ability, full of common-sense, and
his four sons, who are all In the lumber
business, take after HIM. The boys have
been well educated and his youngest son is
now in Yale College. He gives a great deal
in charity, and his oldest daughter, who
lately married Dutch Reformed preacher
of Syracuse. spent year some time before
her marriage in going about among the

the finest paintings you will ind in the
United States.
| wish l could take you into the houses of
these rich men OF the Northwest. They are
as fine al those of the money kings of New
York or Boston, and many of Rthem will
rank with the oldest houses of Europe in
their artistic furnishing. There is, to-day,
more art displayed in the big business
blocks and in the fine residences of st. Paul
and Minneapolis than you will find in those
of Boston, Cleveland or Cincinnati, and
money is shOveled out here on architecture,
art. and [ might say religion as WELL The
building in the world is here. The Min
neapolis club has finer quarters than any
club in Washington city, and there are
number of million dollar business blocks
here which have more fine marbles and
Roman mosaic work than the cathedral of
St. Marks at Venice. These men have
made their money quickly and they spend
II freely. Their homes are full of beautiful
things from all over the world. Take, for
instance, that of Mr., Thomas Lowry, the
street-railway millionaire of Minneapolis.
1t is big old-fashioned maHsard house OF
about twenty rooms. which are packed with
art treasures. Old Gobelin tapestries, some
OF which would carpet a small paIlor, hang
upon the walls. Oriental rugs, which Tom
Lowry bought in Egypt, lie upon the floors,
and fine tings of the great modern
painters cover the walls. Rare Sevres vases
stand on the mantels. and pieces of really
fine japanese art and of rare East Indian
workmanship are scattered here and there
about the rooms. The house is, in fact a
museum of curiOs, but they have been so
well selected and arranged that it is a most
comfortable home.
And just here | want to say word about
Tom Lowry. Every one calls him Tom
here, and he Is every ones friend. He is
still in his fOrties. but he controls a capital
of $4,000, 900 and his income is probably
something like 100000 year. He came

lamps have been made larger than those OF
ordinary houses, and the result is a combi-
nation which you will not find in the great
Palaces oil Europe nor in other fine houses
OF the world. Speaking OF lamps, one on
the center table in the music-rOom has
body two feet high, and is fully foot In
diameter. Mrs. Hill hunted for it long
time, and fOally had il made out of vase
which she found which just harm mopized
win the coloring OF the room.
The living-roOm of the house Is the
library, and just off this is Mr.. Hills den.
II Is not more than ten feet square and it is
walled In mahogany. 1t has an air Of
solidity about 1t and 1t is furnished ele-
gantly. but simply. On the bookcases on
one side OF the room are great volumes of
railway reports and railway magazines,
while globe stands in one corner. There
Is little library table under the window
with paper and pens on 1t, and at the rear
of the room there is n mahogany door, which
opens into great vault in which is stored
at times, doubt not, securities which are
worth millions. The library is furnished IN
mahogany. Bronze figures of Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster stand on each end of
the low bookcases, which run around the
room on either hand as you enter. The
great library table Is covered with papers
and magazines and the room looks as though
1t were used. The collection of books is a
good one. All of the great authors OF fiction
and science may be found upnn the shelves
and you will find French and German books
as well as English. Mr.. Hill is good
French scholar and both himself and his
wife have good literary taste. They are
both we'll read and their domestic relations
are of the happiest nature.
The basement and the attic OF this great
mansion are to me even more interesting
than the liying-rOoms. The house must
have quarter OF an acre OF floor space and
the basement is house in itself. 1t has a
hall so wide that you could drive wagon
through 1t without grazing the walls and
It's rooms are all large, airy and we'll lighted.

Lowry would have studied law in his office.
He was poor when he came here. but he at
once Jumped into big practice and he was
soon engaged In nearly every speculation In
the town. Along back in the seventies the
horseear street railway line in Minneapolis
was in bad way and Tom Lowry borrowed
$4,000 of the Security Bank and bought 1t.

His streetcar lines were changed from
horsecars TO electricity in twelve months
and he has $50 miles of track. The over

conduit system which he tried for one of
the st. Paul roads was failure. His fran

years. These car lines have immense shops

They can make everything connected with
an electrician line. and it will not be
surprising II they eventually add great
manufacturing car industry to their busi-

doing this. He has the best of business

any reasonable number of millions ut per
cent.

ana an audieDce-room about thirty feet
wide by fifty feet long. The stage has
scenes ana iootiights, and 1t is, in fact, a
magic lantern and they sometimes give ex-

1t takes two tons of coal day to keep
ms mouse warm, and l spent some time in
looking at the great boilers in the basement
There is an engineer who does nothing else
put attend to these, and Mrs. Hill tells me
that the house is so thick that during the
past winter they have not had to open the
registers of the different rooms for heat,
but have only had to warm the halls. The
engines represent 800 horsepower, and if
you will keep 300 horses at work day and
night you will get an idea of the amount of
force that it takes to turn winter into sum-
mer for Mr.. James j. Hill. There is
dynamo and electric plant connected with
the house. One of the most interesting
parts of the basement is the laundry. 1t

its tables are of white wood, which are as
clean as those of Dutch housewife. l
noticed that most of the cooking utensils
were of copper, and the range seemed to
me to be large enough for the roasting OF

As | said above, the strongest feature Of
this big mansion is its home-like character.
Mr.. Hill is man of domestic tastes. He
loves his family and he has beautiful
home life. His wife has borne him nine
children; and when l took lunch with her
there were three pretty dark-eyed girls and
very bright eight-year-old boy with us at
