stantisI lily built after the fashion of the
day, with spacious rooms, lofty ceilings
and a generously sized main hall The
changes which have given the moderniz-
ing touch of comfort make it a charming
aIl-year-round residence. The house was
originally planned by A. J. Downing, the
landscape architect, who designed the
scheme which was followed in laying out
the Smithsonian grounds. 1t is In the style
of an Italian villa. The stout brick walls,
stucc6ed In rough cast work, are now
done in ivory cream color, and the wood
work of the windows and porches is paint
ed light green The most important change
exteriorly is the entrance, which is now
on Howard avenue, the north front instead
of the south originally. The grounds
are extensive and there is q long path from
the gate to the front porch The wrought
iron gate swings under arch surmOunt-
ed by a lamp. The gate walls on either
side are OF the same rough work as the
house walls. The portico has tiled floor.

Tho terrible use made by the Com
munards of 1871 Of petroleum for con.

impression ON the French mind that peo-
pie recoiled even ut the mention OF
kerosene. SO the American kerosene
lamps, which were then just beginning
to get foothold In France, were rele-
gated to the limbo Of dangerous limo
vations. Then came the exhibitions Of
1878 and 1889, with our particularly
good show Of now. improved and mr.

tlty OF the persons who manifested such
unusual interest in the defeat of Judge
Hebbard.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Cowles' testi-
mony the prosecution rested its case,
whereupon Attorney Henley moved that
the court Instruct the jury TO bring in a
verdict of acquittal.
In support of his motion Mr.. Henley
contended that the publication of the circu-
lar, even If proved, was a privileged COM
munlcatlon because il was addressed to
voters touching person who at that time
was asking for the suffrages of the electors
OF this City and County. Malice, he said,
could not be presumed, and as the exis-
tence OF malice had not been proved
afnrmatlvely the jury ought to acquit.
Attorney Foote replied that the bare
circumstances showed malice; that it was
established by testimony that v iliams
distributed the circulars after his atten-
ton had been called to the matter by an
Indictment; thatt he circular bore intrinsic
proof of malice on its face, because it was
apparent on the reading that the words
were clearly outside of legitimate criti-
clsm even of a candidate for public Office.
Judge Daingerfield took Mr.. Foote' S
view OF the case and refused to instruct
the jury to acquis, and the taking of tes-
timony for the defense will begin at 10
O'Clock this morning.
