HOME OF THE GRANTS.
SAN DIEGO'S FINEST HOUSE PUR.
CHASED.
Mrs. q. 9. Grant, Jr., Pays the Money
The Site Unequalled and the APP
pointlnents of the Residence
Elegant.

A dispatch from San Diego to the
San Francisco Chronicle says that the
magnificent residence on Eighth and
Ash streets, built by Ora Hubbell. and
later owned by 8. G. Havermale, was
sold today by Ralph Granger to Mrs.
U. s. Grant, jr.
The sale was negotiated through the
I efforts OF E. J. Swsyne and Gen. Eli H..
Murray. U. s. Grant. jr., as sttorney
for Mrs. Grant, paid 10 per cent of the
price agreed upon and entered into a
contract OF sale. The price paid has
not been made public.
The contract gives the building and
site, commanding view Of the entire
city and harbor OF San Diego, with Cor
onado and the ocean beyond, and, from
its accessibility and extensive views, 1t
is probably the best location for resi-
dence In the city.
The building upon this superb site is
worthy of the ground, having been
erected at cost OF $92. 600. 1t Is not
excelled for comfort and elegance by
any home in Southern California. Finest
OF woods were used in its construction,
and as the builder intended 1t for his
home the best OF material and work.
manship was called for.
The freplaces are Of Tennessee marble
and Mexican onyx and the spacious
rooms are finished in cherry, mahogany,
two kinds OF oak, birdseye maple, etc.
The furnishings are luxurious in the ex-
treme and nothing is wanting for COM
fort or elegance.
The house and grounds were acquired
by L. Ivanson and Major Levi Chase
from the Havermale estate and were
sold to Ralph Granger, who has just
transferred them to the Grant family.
Mr.. Grant left today for Santa Barbara
to see his mother, and it Is understood
that the magnificent residence will be-
come the home OF Mrs. General Grant.
U. 3. Grant Jr. has been in San Diego
before this present visit to his brother
Jesee. He told friend the other day
that he was thoroughly in love with San
Diego and was confident OF lite future
greatness, and had decided to make his
home here. Jesse Grant has already
leased home here for the wi-ter, with
the intention OF remaining permanently
if the climate suits. 1t is more than
probable that the fine home lust &C.
quired will be the home OF General
Grants widow and her children,
Mrs. Jennie G. Grant, in whose name
the property stands, Is the daughter OF
ex-senator Chaffee of Colorado, and ia
very wealthy in her own right. She
will refurnish the new home In a lux
urious manner, and the place may be
expected to become a center Of social
brilliancy.
1t is useless to note that the welcome
extended to the wife of Grant and his
family is unanimous and cordial in the
extreme. San Diegans with one accord.

The SEVENTEEN birthday of Mr.. II. o.
Houghton, of the well-known publishing
house of Houghton, Mifiiin & Co., furnishes
fit occasion not only for congratulation, but
also for recognition of the peculiarly high
quality which has been characteristic of
Mr.. Houghton's dealings with books, both
on the literary and on the mechanical side.
Beginning life as a printer, in the office of
the Burlington Free Press, Nh Houghton
devoted himself at the same time to the
work of self-education, putting into his pri-
Vate studies the same energy that went into
his daily work. Not content with the edu-
cation possible under these conditions, he
entered the University of Vermont, and
graduated after really heroic struggle for
selfsupport. In 1S49 he established a
printing-ofiice in Cambridge which three
years later was removed to the site on the
banks of the Charles river, where the River.
side Press now stands. From the very be-
ginning Mr.. Houghtons aim seems to have
been to stamp his work with the highest ar
tistic excellence. The transition from the
printer to the publisher was readily and
naturally made, and Mr.. Houghton carried
into his vocation familiarity with all
branches of printing, and a passion for the
more artistic phase of the craft. AS he had
been an artist in dealing with types, so he
became an artist in dealing with books
With very thorough and successful bust
ness management he has combined as the list
Vi Ao"S nuon ~ q w. amply proves,
very high ideal of what books should con-
tain, and an equally high ideal of the form
they should assume. He seems to have
paid equal respect to the soul and to the
body of book. To treat business in this
spirit is to transform it into an art, and in
that very act to render to the public a per-
manent service. Mr.. Houghton has been
very fortunate in the cooperation of able
men of kindred aims, and has laid American
writers and American readers under lasting
obligation by reason of the breadth OF view
and the elevation of aim which have char
acterized his relation to American litera-
ture. Mr.. Houghton, to whom the Chris
tan Union pays this high tribute is Yer
monter, a native of Sutton.

Obituary..

REED.-Almira Robinson, wife OF George
w. Reed, died last Saturday evening after
a brief illness with pneumonia. She was
born in Chesterfield Mass, December 10,
1928, and previous to her marriage was en-
gagged in teaching. OF the more than forty
years of her life spent in Montpelier, it is
difficult to speak without an appearance of
excessive eulogy. A life so plain, so I'M
pretentious, of such simple dignity, so filed
with kindly thoughts aud generous deeds
for others, and so like the gentle soul that
animated 1t, is rare in any community. AL
though always interested in all moral re-
forms, Mrs. Reed never associated herself
with any organization that had for its oh.
ject the carrying out of such measures, but
her energies seemed to be devoted to assist
ing individuals who were worthy and
needed her help. Many instances might be
mentioned that are well known to very
many people in Montpelier of young peo-
pie whose lives she has broadened and ee-
waited by giving them the benefits of the
influences of her Christian home while she
provided means for their education. Some
have gone on before her, and others live to
bless her and revere her memory. The
Church of the Messiah will keenly miss her
wise counsels and generous assistance, and
to the pastor Of that society the news of her
death that was flashed TO him under the
sea will come as personal bereavement
Her funeral was held from her late home

THE farce comedy "American Fascina

Saturday evening by the Dartmouth Glee
Club Comedy Company deserved a better

its presentation The comedy company is

and most enjoyable entertainment. The
female approximations were capital and the
acting was way above par. The musical
numbers deserved the hearty applause they
received and tn selections were of a charac-
ter that always delight an audience. The
whole programme was rendered with a
spirit and precision which intelligence and
long practice alone can give. Come again,
boys, and Montpelier will give you better
house next time.

A GhOulish Incident.

that the residue was $780, 900, or enough
to comply with the wish of the dead
statesman that home for INDECENT
orphan children be founded at Lancas.
ter, Penn. In noticing this fact the
Springfield Republican has the grace to
say:
"Mr. Stevens was in many respects a
great figure in congress during the war pc
Rod, but, strangely enough he is remem
bered to-day more by his famous question
Which is our id rascal?' than by any
achievement of his career as a parliament
airy leader in the house."
Transcendant are the virtues of the
mugwump! Here was man of sturdy
character, leader among leaders in
the perilous times of the great civil
war, rugged patriot, eloquent Of
speech, fruitful in resources and expe-
dents, having courage no obstacle,
no disaster could daunt, fearless and
uncalculating in his devotion to his
country and Incorporating in his
hostility TO its enemies and the enemies
of human rights. He held a front rank
among the great men of period dis
tinguished for their ability, statesman
ship and patriotism. His holiness, his
great oratorical powers and force of
character earned him the title applied
to William Pitt, "the great com.
moner." He found in the war powers
of the constitution authority to issue
the greenback, that potent factor in
subduing the rebellion. He urged the
justice and expediency of the emanci-
patton proclamation and initiated and
prepared the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution. The war ended, the
Union saved, he was foremost in the
work of garnering the fruits of the
war. And this heroic figure of the
great crisis of the republic, that
wretched combination of gall and vim.
egar at Springfield has the hardihood
to say is remembered to-day more by
his famous question " (which he prob
ably never raised, or if he did, raised it
in spirit of the grim humor that char
acterized many of his sayings), ethan
by any achievement of his career as a
parliamentary leader in the house,"
Only a mugwump ghoul could devise
such thing as this. Millions are living
who have better memories than the
Republican hyena.

obtainable close at hand, and with the as
sistance OF a strong wind from the north the
firemen were able to save a part of the
building, also the platform and sheds. The
two steady streams that were kept on the
burning structure for over two hours showed
that in case of an emergency the boys OF

small, as the property was insured. Station

that the engine house is nearly mile from

firemen lesson in hustling in case of out

THE Free Press last Saturday morning
contained special dispatch from Chicago,
which said &c. S. Lawrence of Montpelier,
one of the press party, graduate of the
Kelley cure, while drunk last night, was
sand-bagged and robbed of between $50 and
$40 and watch worth $50" On the re-
turn of the excursionists Monday morning
the matter was investigated. Mr.. Law
renee denies the statement in toto and in
wrath, and his denial is supported by sew
eral of the party who saw him every day,
and who had every means of knowing
whether or not he was intoxicated, Mr..
Lawrence was unwittingly drawn into a
controversy which resulted in a scrapping
match, and in the melee he lost a little
money and his watch; but the statement
that he was intoxicated or sand-bagged was
purely fabrication, if not malicious
falsehood, of which it is certain the Free
Press has not heard the last. Even had Mr.
Lawrence been drunk, as stated in the dis
patch, the dragging in the fact that he is a
graduate of the Kelley Institute was a

Kansas VS.. Vermont,

We print elsewhere in this issue an
interesting letter from the somewhat
capricious state of Kansas, land of
| populists, corn, and cyclones.
The question the person given to
percentages will naturally raise at the
outset is, What great advantage the
Kansas farmer, with so acres, or 200
acres, or 400 acres of corn can show,
after marketing his crop, over the
thrifty Vermont farmer who on cone
and one-half acres of corn and some
thing like three acres of oats and twelve
cows" clears in one year $500 over and
above all expenses-living and operat
ing? What would the Kansas farmer,
out of debt, "his wife doubtless doing
all of her work." make on a farm
like that which yielded his Vermont
brother S400 clear profit? On a fair
comparison of capital invested, labor
expended, comforts and gospel priv
ileges" enjoyed, net cash returns real.
lied, savings bank accumulations to
his credit, or money invested in western
insecurities, the Vermont farmer is uu-
questionably out of sight of his Kansas
compeer. And it is possibly true,
further, that if the Vermont farmer who
saved $500 had subjected himself and
his family to the privations and hard
ships the average western farmer en-
dures, his meager $500 gain which ex-
cites our correspondent commiseration
might have been swollen to dimensions
that would stir his enthusiasm.
Now there seems to be, unwittingly,
very bad give-away in the paragraph
of Mr.. Merriam's communication in
which he accounts for the late political
vagaries of Kansas: eve had for a
succession of years in Kansas a partial
failure of crops" To the advantage of
Vermont and her farmers, it may be
said that the harvest never fails. Sea-
sons may vary in the plentifulness of
the yield, but failure of the crops is I'M
known in any one year, much less in "a
succession of years." The scourges
that through " a succession of years "
impoverish the Kansas farmer do not
visit Vermont, cripple its farming in
dustry and drive its people into The
adoption of the wild and irrational po-
litical and financial schemes which our
correspondent deplores. Vermont peo-
pie never make the mistakes, under
stress of agricultural depression, the
people of Kansas have made. Yer
mont is all right, sound financially and
politically, happy and prosperous in all
her industries. Stick to Vermont.
Taught by the lessons Of the failures at
Sioux City, Minneapolis and other west
ern points, in which hundreds of thou
sands of the earnings of Vermont farm
ers have been engulfed, invest your
money at home. Be content to pay
rational tax rate, to accept what may be
possibly a lower rate of interest,
save the principal from loss and con-
tribute to the upbuilding of the state.

piece OF pure and contemplate cussedn ess
The spirit that prompted It is well under
stood IN Montpelier but, instead of iniurinp
the Kelley Institute and possibly helping
some fake institute elsewhere, it has proved
an excellent advertisement for the Kelley.
The writer of that dispatch has earned, as
he richly deserves, not only the contempt
of the members Of the press excursion, but
of good citizens everywhere.
A CASE unprecedented in the medical
practice of DIR. j. W. Nichols of the Kelley
Institute, and one that has excited the
liveliest interest in all who are acquainted
with it, is now under treatment at the in
stitute at Montpelier. About two weeks
ago Mrs. Nora Woodwork of Jonesvile APP
piled at the institute for treatment for the
morphine habit. DIR. Nichols was surprised
to find that she was accompanied by a
daughter three years old, and surprise does
not express it whenlhe learned that.the little
one was also a confirmed victim of the dis
ease with which its mother was suffering.
BY invitation of DR.. Nichols, and with the
consent OF the mother, a representative of
the WATCHMAN called on Mrs. Woodworth
! Tuesday. She received the reporter cor
daily and was perfectly free to answer any
questions regarding herself or her fiaxen-
haired little girl, who, in answer to the
question, " What is your name?" promptly
replied, " The Kelley Baby" Mrs. Wood
worth is the mother of nine children and
has been a victim of the morphine habit for
four years. When she was nursing the child
who is with her she was taking fifteen grains
of morphine day, and the little one
through its mothers milk, became an inno
| cent victim of the habit. When she was
weaned at the age of ten months, it was
necessary to give her morphine regularly.
and when she came herelfor treatment she
was taking grain and half day. The
drug has been entirely taken away from the
child, and the mother is on the sure road to
a rapid and complete recovery, The bright
and winning ways of the little one have
made her a great favorite with many ladies'
of State street, who have been greatly in
terested in her case, and who note with
pleasure the marked change for the better
in her condition. AS the reporter took his
leave the little maiden archly invited him
to call again, and on being told that her
name would be in the WATcHMAN this week
she enquired, "Have you got it all rght?"
In sharp contrast to this case is that of
gentleman from Chateaugay n. Y, seventy
three years of age, who is now taking the
treatment at the institute for the same dis
ease. They are to be photographed to-
gether and their pictures sent to the Golden
News and the Banner Of cold.
