Donald Gamer on. and the Lafayette opera house, built upon the site of Secretary of State Blaine's mansion, previously occupied by MT. Lincoln's secretary ofstate, Hon. w. H. Seward. and in which he came near losing his life from an attack by Payne, one of the Lincoln conspira- tors. For some years the spacious building was club house, and from it's portals issued Philip Barton Key to meet his death al the hands Of Con gressman Daniel E. Sickles.
 On the west side of the park is the former home OF Daniel E. Sicllles, and the queer looking old mansion of Gen. eral Beale. who was warm personal friend of General Grant The latter pastured hls fine thoroughbred horses upon General Bea1e's Maryland farm.
 On the southeastern entrance at ita junction with Pennsylvania avenue is the statue, brought from France, of the Marquis and General Lafayette, Wash ingtons bosom friend, surrounded by four of Lafayette's compatriots in the revolutionary war The grounds about the park are always kept in the best possible condition and are ornamented with beds of bright and lovely flowers during the floral season. Many ven erable oak, elm, and other trees supply 3 grateful shade to the visitors seated Upon the benches. These many yisi- tors have both their groupings and their singles and altogether make an interesting object lesson.
 Tourists sit upon the benches ir summertime to enjoy a passing zephyr and to get glimpse of the executive mansion. During the every afternoon services at St. Johns church some of them take both physical rest and spirit nal refreShment there. At all hours O, the day and night some one is tread ing the graveled and concrete walks of the park.

in the United States volunteer service
who is directly indebted to President
Mckinley for his enlistment.
When the first call was made for

of age, went to the recruiting Office to
enlist, but was rejected on account of a
slight physical defect. He grieved a
great deal, especially when he saw the
Kansas troops of the command of Col.
Lindsey en- route to Camp Alger. He
went up to the lower house of congress
to ask his father as a special favor to
use his influence at the war department
in his behalf. He was the only son and
Mrs. Botkin, who was i'll, hated to see
him go to war. so young.
Mr.. BOtkin, seeing that the boy was
very anxious to enlist, called a carriage
and both of them rode direct to the
White House. Mr.. Botkin explained the
situation to President Mckinley who,
after questioning the young man close
ly, said that he would suspend the reg
ulatiOns in order to give such a brave
young patriot a chance to serve his
country.
What place do you want?" ased the
president.
I want to be a private with the 9TH

You have mettle enough to be a
general, said the president pleasantly
Mr.. Mckinley called the war depart

said, "COrbin, 1 have a young Jay
