elsewhere as climbing the back fence

confession later.
Marshal Brown kept the policemen
on the beats guessing between the
hours OF and 10 last night. He rode
a horse about the streets, turned up in
the most unexpected places, and it is
said by some of the men, blew whis-
tie at various places. The policemen
were not the only ones who were kept
guessing.
Special Cordes captured a pair of
cocoanuts yesterday. Things were
pretty dry up town, and it would not
do TO walk into the police station with
out anything.
Officer Charles Warren caught a
Chinaman in the act of making a very
sudden exit from DR.. Murray's place
over the back fence. He was barefoot

since spent the winters there. The house
has extensive lawns, pretty walks and
beautiful shrubbery about it, and If any
fault at all could be found with the eX-
terror setting, it would be to remark the
absence of trees in close proximity. The
house has broad. comfortable appearance

orally, is quite the feature. 1t has great
fireplace and is furnished with odd chairs
and cozy corners. On the right there are
two rooms the windows of which face
ncrth and west. The first and smaller one
was intended as a reception room, but is
now prettily arranged annex to the
drawing room adjoining. This room is fur
nished In modern style, light, dainty and
attractive. There are cabinets of curios
and tables ornamented with pretty things
in silver and ivory. Excepting the dining
room, which has a mahogany finish, the
wood work throughout the house is light

suggesting hospitable thoughts. 1t is
very large room adjoining the hall at the
left and having all the brightness of the
south front. The furniture heavily carved

are Ierhaps few Washington houses
where more beautifully wrought silver
ware or more numerous specimens of it
are displayed and used than in the New
lands dining room. The sic .DiGg rooms

The residence of Mr. Francis G. Newlands
at Chevy Chase, which has been leased by
Secretary Gage for a summer residence, is
just across the District line, and from it's
position overlooks the rolling meadows
that cut their outlines against the distant
blue and silver of the Virginia hills and
the waters of the Potomac. The house

covering over one hundred thousand square
feet of ground. and is just north of the
Chevy Chase circle at the angle of Connec-
ticut avenue and Columbia boulevard.
Realizing that the cabinet cannot expect
to be absent from the capital for any great
length of time the coming summer, Secre-
tary Gage wanted a residence which would
combine some of the charms of country life
and easy distance of the city. When that
suburb was first laid out. Senator Stewart
selected its site and built the house intend
