come every Sunday to dine with the
family. The father of Mr.. William
Thomas Carroll was Charles Carroll,
of Belleview, the grandfather. was
Charles Carroll, of Carrollsburg, who
was a first cousin to Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton. The fam
lily of CAROLS are descendant
from one of the early kings of ireland.
William Carroll had eight children, the
only surviving girls being Mrs. Bowles,
Mrs. Brown and Countess Esterhazy,
who resides in Philadelphia.
While originally on n level with the
street, the mansion is now on a terrace
formed by the cutting down of the
streets during the time that the city
was beautified by the direction of Shep-
herd. The house is a large, square, red
brick, with a high wall, which incloses
an old-fashioned garden on the right
side. In the front hall one finds the
stairway leads down to the front door,
and all of the numerous rooms are
grouped about this central stairs which
form a sort of an open court in the CEN
ter of the house from top to bottom.
The mansion was furnished in things
which have been in the family for years,
but most of them have been disposed of
at private sale to the members of the
immediate family.
1t is not known why Chief Justice
Fuller wished to desert the popular
part of the city in which he now re-
sides for the sober and more somber
quarter in which the old Carroll man
sion now stands. His present home is
a fine one, on the corner of Massachu-
sets avenue and Eighteenth street,
right in the heart of "''e fashionable
section of town and /, ounded by
many magnificent homes of diplomats
and wealthy private citizens.

the mouse few crumbs, which it began
to devour. As soon as it had finished
its meal it began chirping like a chick
en-, then like a wren and then like
hooking bird. 1t kept this up four
minutes, when the appearance of cat
interrupted it. Mr.. Russ at once put
the cat out, but the mouse was so
scared that il would not consent to
sing. After dinner several men from
the neighborhood called in to hear the
wonderful mouse sing. AS soon as it
finished more crumbs which were given
to it it began to sing.
Every night for the last two weeks"
said Mr.. Russ, 1--WE have been hearing
strange noises, which sounded like the
singing of bird. For the first two or
three nights we paid but little atten-
ton to it, but upon the continuance of
this strange noise, we decided to in.
vestigate the matter, but could not dis
cover it. We called in several gentle
men to keep watch with us, and we sat
up all night for two nights. The noise
would not stay in one place, but would
run from one room to another, then
upon the roof. We began to think" he
continued, that maybe this strange
noise was a ghost, or a warning that
some one of the family would soon die.
This idea scared us all, and we were de-
termined to find out what it was. Just
then the noise sounded as if it was
under the hearth, when out ran a
mouse, which was grabbed by Mr.. Ken
nedy. We locked it up in corn-popper
and continued our search, when about
midnight the noise came from the pop
per. Then we were convinced that the
mouse was the cause of our uneasiness,
much to our joy"
Several large offers from museum
managers have been refused by Mr..
Russ, who values his strange musical
pet far more than its weight in gold

OLD CARROLL MANSION.
One of the Most Interesting Resi-
dences at Washington.
1t Has just Been Purchased by Chief JUS
tice Fuller-Clay, Webster and fancy
Were Frequent Visitors In
This Historic House.

Chief Justice Fuller has just pur-
chased a home in Washington which is
one of the old landmarks of the capital.
1t stands at Eighteenth and T streets,
in that section of the city largely given
over to the old residents, and is called
the Carroll mansion" In the neigh
borhood of the mansion are the homes
of Gen. Miles, Secretary Herbert, and
only block off is the famous old "0cta-
gon" house, which was once inhabited
by the Taylors. On the corner of G
and Eighteenth is the dingy old build
ing now used as place for the war rec
ords office, but which was in days gone
by the home of Jefferson Davis, when
he held a position as n member of the
presidents cabinet.
The Carroll mansion was built in 1880
by a gentleman named Ringgold and
was purchased later by Mr.. William
Thomas Carroll, at that time clerk of
the supreme court. This gentleman
was nephew of old Daniel Carroll, of
Duddington. Mrs. Carroll, widow of
William Thomas Carroll, lived in this
house for many years and did not die
till few months ago. Belonging to
the Carroll family of Maryland, fam
lily which is one of the most prominent
in America, the CAROLS were leaders in
the society of that day, and during all
the administrations prior to the late
war it was at this house that the finest
entertainments were given. Old Dan
iel Carroll owned the greater part of
Washington, but his lands lay in the
east, and he held them so high that he
drove buyers to the west, where now
the fashionable section is situated.
When the house was built the grounds
around were extensive, and there were
but few houses near. Large gardens
and dirt drives then filled what is now
asphaltum streets and row on row of
brick houses.
In the Carroll mansion such men as
Clay and Webster were frequent Wis
itors, and old Justice fancy used to

Since 1876, when Alfonso All. mount
ed the throne, reestablished on the
shattered hopes of the republicans, Don
Carlos has not lifted his finger pub
licly for his own cause in Spain. 1t
is difficult to make any estimate of
the strength of his adherents in Spain
now. If Isabella had been a respectable
sovereign he would, perhaps, have
never made an effort to gain a crown
that by the old Spanish laws of inher-
itance he thought himself entitled to.
He never recognized his cousin Isabella
as queen.
The first armed adventure of Don
Carlos, says the Illustrated American,
started in 1872, on the soil of Navarro,
Just over the Spanish frontier. 1t was
so much like an adventure of Don
Quixote that all Spain laughed-both
friends and enemies. When this mod
ern Don appeared, several thousand of
his enthusiastic adherents gathered,
many of them armed with only pitch
forks, axes and clubs. Don Carlos him
self had very beautiful pistol, given
to him by a friend in Paris. He had
come to gain his crown or die, and the
first man that got in front of him to
shield him from the enemy would be
shot with that pistol. He appeared to
be so dead game" that his friends
begged him to take care of himself, for
without him his cause would be lost.
Soon after crossing the border the
Carlists met the government troops,
and the first volley from their chasse-
pots sent the invaders hurrying in all
directions, Don Carlos flying before his
own men and as completely disappear
ing from the world as if the earth had
opened and swallowed him.
But he was never a coward. The next
year he issued another manifesto and
again appeared on the frontier. The
Catalonian mountaineers Joined him
in great force. Arms were smuggled
to them, and soon he had formidable
army. 1t was in this war that Marshal
Campos developed as the first soldier
of Spain, and it was principally due to
his genius that Don Carlos failed to
put on the crown of his father.

three players on the Spanish political
chessboard-the present monarchy, the
republicans and the Carlists.
Spain in its three years as a republic
was o notorious failure. It was as bad
as anything of the kind ever set up
in South or Central America. The
Spanish people are scarcely more fitted
by nature and education for repub-
lican form of government than the Chi
nese or AshanteAs. Emilio CASTELAR,,
their most distinguished republican of
a few years ago, has lapsed into mon
archism, If reports Of him are to be
credited. In case of revolution there
is a chance that an ambitious man
who could gather a strong force might
set up a republic, but it would be
knocked down in few hours like a
tenpin, for the reason that the Spanish
masses worship monarchy of the abso-
Lutte character, as they have always

to-day. He had been prominently
identified with every movement having
in view the elevation of the stage and
the bettcrment of the social condition
of players. Mr.. McVicker was born in
New York city February %, 1922. After
the age of ten he engaged in various
work in Haverstraw. N. Y, and in 1887
removed to st. Louis, where he learned
the printers trade, employing his
leisure in study. He first appeared in
ST. Charles theater, New Orleans, in
1s43, and ia 1s45 became principal
comedian in Rice's theater, Chicago,
remaining there until 1852, when he

DON CARLOS AMBITION.
Bourbon Prince Would Like to Be
King Of Spain.
Unless the War in Cuba Comes to q Close
Very Soon a Revolution in Spain Is
Unavoidable - The Don's
Little Game.

In the best of the Vienna cafes one
may see gentleman of decided Span
ish Bourbon type. Heis of low stature.
has very heavy jaws and chin, a thick
black mustache now slightly tinged
with gray, is dressed always in quiet
black, wearing a silk hat and carrying
a silver-headed cane. He is an EN-
bodiment of Spanish courtesy and dig
nifty. He is now 4S-years of age, and
though he makes his home in a quiet
street in Austria's capital, where he
spent much of his youth, he often visits
Venice and London, being as much at
home in the latter city as elsewhere.
This man is Don Carlos, duke of Mad
rid, and pretender to the Spanish
throne under the title of Charles VII.
For number of years he lived in Paris,
where, next to Madrid, he naturally
felt most at home. In 1881 he was
charged with conspiracy with the Due
de Chambode to promote the latter's
ambition for the French throne, and was
expelled from Paris. He used to be
seen at the horse-racing in the Bots de
Boulogne, and the story is told that he
put up stakes against Louis Napoleon,
and often beat the latter as judge Of
horses wind.
Don Carlos would be of no particular
public interest at this moment but; for
the fact that persons both in and out of
Spain believe that there is some sort of
political crisis impending that the
Spaniards will soon be called upon to
face. This belief was accentuated by
Marshal Campos' departure from Cuba
after his failure to suppress the insur-
rection. If the instruction continues
for a few months longer, the Spanish
government must levy high war tax
upon it's home people to continue the
struggle. 1t is believed, and with some
reason, that this strain will break the
camels back, for the government would
have to summon an army to collect this
tax from people taxed to despair, and
n revolution would follow.
In the event of a revolution, which
may not come, but which is slightly
more than possibility, there appear

Carmens In Real Life.

Seville, Spain, has been having a pic
turesque and exciting strike of the
$500 cigarreras employed in the tobac-
co factory. They rose in their wrath
one morning, smashed the windows
and everything they could lay hands
on, and then paraded the streets. For
ten days the stores were closed, the
women harangued and buttonholed
the passers-by, and won the whole town
over to their side. At last the govern
ment made some concessions, and the
women went back to work before any
blood was spilled. though two officials
came near being torn to pieces by the
maddened .'Carmeps.

From the little town of Hodgenyille,

that sings like a lark and initiates a

wonderful accuracy. This musical lit
tie animal is owned by Mr.. Richard
Russ, who lives in Hodgenville, and
who keeps his remarkable pet in cage
and amuses his friends now and then
with the tiny fellows warblings. The
other day, when the mouse was put ON
exhibition by his fond master, a CORE

what happened as follows:
The mouse showed no signs of being
scared.
