sAeo PALM OF TUDOR PLACE
The OfFshoot of one That Was Part
of Boston's Famous Tea Cargo.

of Boston's Famous Tea Cargo.
One of the most interesting homes in
historic Georgetown is the Tudor
place. The sage palm of revolution
airy fame stands in the Tudor conser-
vatory in winter and on the beautiful
lawn in summer It belongs to Martha
Washington's granddaughter, Mrs.
Brittania w. Kennon, who is the Oldest
living descendant of the family.
In 1775, when the historic cargo of
tea was dumped into Boston harbor,
there were on board three small palms.
The largest was carefully sent to
Mount Vernon, another to the home of
Gov. Morris of Morrisania, while the
third was taken to the Pratt gardens,
near Philadelphia. Ten years later
the conservatory at Mount Vernon was
burned and the palm lost Thirty-six
years later. in 1918, Mrs. Kennon's
mother drove in her carriage ia jour-
ney of four days. to Philadelphia, Wis
tied the Pratt gardens, bought several
little plants, and carried them in a
basket to her own greenhouse. One
of them was an offshoot of the original
sage palm, and to-day is a veritable
Colonial Dame or Daughter of the
Revolution.
It is now almost a century old, and
has never known another home Its
fruit is not abundant, like the cocoanut
or date palm. 1t bears a small april
cot-shaped fruit only once in several
years. It's terminal budding at the
end of the stem is like a crown. Some
years it unfolds long, slender spikes,
or palm branches, but several times
during Mrs. Kennon's life there has
been a wonderful growth of fern-shap-
ed, delicate leaves, soft and spongy in
texture and color. When left on the
tree, until the sap is pretty well down
in the trunk, they retain their shape
and color many years. Botanists have
examined them with keen interest. It
appears like a cabbage, and slowly I'M
folds its yellowish brown fern leaves,
after the fashion Of our house ferns.
If left on the tree they die.
Mrs. Kennon remembers we'll La
fayette's visit to Tudor place, when
she was a little Virginia maid of nine
years, and the sage palm was only
eleven years old.

The LATEST man in the regiment lay
in the hospital tent. A comrade came
to see him.
Lost a leg, eh?" he said. "Why,
that leg was not so badly shot as to
need amputation."

Hang me if you dol" cried the COM

WHITE HEATHER.
seotchmen Relieve it Brings Good
Luck-BIue an Ill Omen.


When the Princess Beatrice was
married she was presented by the high
ianders Of Balmoral with bouquet
containing conspicuous sprig Of
white heather. There was a profus-
ion of flowers at Osborne House, but
none considered so precious as this
spray of white blossoms, and if the
bouquet had not arrived in time the
Archbishop of Canterbury would have
been obliged to wait for its coming, for
the highlanders, who wished to do the
Princess honor, felt that it was indis-
pensable to her luck" for her to hold
il. during the marriage ceremony, or,
as they express it, 'be married in it"
who finds keeps" is a common say
ing in the mouths of those who go out
to look for white heather. The search
ers are many, but few find it, even
when it is wanted to grace the mar
riage bouquet of princess. A blend
ing of blue and purple is the familiar
color of the flower, and it is found in
plenty in very pale tints, SO pale that
the searcher is often deceived, believ-
ing at first sight he has found "the
white pearl" Many a highlander
who travels the hills daily never found
sprig of real white heather; not that
he never looked for it, for every high
lander believes that it brings rare good
luck to the finder. and that the luck
can be passed on to his friends Ex-
cept in color it does not differ from
that which covers all the highland
hills. 1t is the ordinary flower, but
pure white, standing out from the
clumps of purple like a snow flake.
They say in the far North that when
the sheep, who dearly love the tender
heather, come across it in their graz
ing, they avoid harming it, and the
grouse have never been known to
crush it with their wings There are
three varieties of heather in Scotland,
and each sends up white flower. The
purple flower is the most and then a
pure white sprig in miles of familiar
of all sights on the hills. Burns sings
of the blue heather bell" but only the
snow white acts as a talisman.

The Latest Levy ON Mans clothes


The lates levy women have made on
the masculine wardrobe has been head
ed by the fair huntresses of England
and Long Island 1t is the appropria-
ton of the long overcoat. Whereas
men have adopted a special coat-the
covert coat for riding to hounds, which
is short enough to be worn comfort
ably while on horseback, and has been
found so convenient that it has been
generally adopted for morning wear
women have seized upon the Chester
field, and, adapting it to their needs,
use it when they are moving about be-
fore or after riding. It gives pi-
quantity mannish appearance to a slight
and pretty woman, and will doubtless
be used for other occasions than this
for which it was originally intended.

Golf Stockings For wheeIwomen.

Leggings, oyergaiters and high top
cycling boots for women will scarcely
be used this season, according to the
dealers in these articles, who say that
the trade in these lines has fallen off
greatly, and very few new styles have
been produced for the coming season.
The wheelwomen found leggings too
warm and clumsy. and the high top
boots wrinkled and seldom fitted well.
Golf stockings worn with shoes Of
about the usual height have been sub
stituted.

She Likes to Cook.

Mrs. Ruth McEnerey Stewart is as
noted among her friends for her cult
nary accomplishments as for her lit
erary ability. She delights in concoct-
ing dainty dishes and finds much re-
creation from mental labor in prepar-
ing salad or ragout Over this
work, too, she is wont to talk and jest
and spin plantation yarns that are a
delight to the listeners, and she de-
clares that praise Of her cooking is as
pleasing as appreciation of her stories.

Upon making an examination at the

The Bond Issue in Colorado.

]. c. Wood, a large mine-owner Of
Denver, Col, is at the Shoreham. In the
course of a conversation he said: "The
silver mines of Colorado are yielding
practically nothing now, and the owners
are willing to sell their interests at a
sacrifice The demand is not sufficient
to pay for working the mines just now
The gold mines are being worked, and
the yield for the past six months has
been considerable"
When asked what effect the bond issue
had on the mining of silver. he replied:
1T put a damper on the little work that
was being done. The people bought all
the bonds they could get their hands on.
In four days one and one-half million
dollars worth was sold In Denver alone.

SALVATION ARMY TENT.
New Summer Quarters Dedicated
Last Night.


The Salvation Army has moved into
its Summer quarters at rne corner Of
Thirteenth and E Streets. where it has
erected a large tent, in which services
will be held during the remainder OF the
season. The canvas is quite large and
furnishes comfortable seating accommO-
dation for about 300 people
The services We're inaugUrated last
evening by a well-attended meeting. con-
Quoted by Major Pebble, who is in charge
of this Jurisdiction Mr.. Pebble was as
sisted 10y Capt. Ray and his corps Of Of
ficers from the barracks at No. $50 Penn
sylvania Avenue, and Capt. Eva McDon-
a,d and her assistants from the r Street
camp, all OF whom had seats on the plat
form.
Before the evening services were COM
menced Capt. Ray announced that today
there would be services in the tent at II
a. m. and p. m. and S p. m. and that
on tomorrow. Fourth of July services
would be held beginning at 1880 O'Clock
and also during the afternoon and even
ing. He also promised that at the meet
ing tomorrow ice cream and lemonade
would be served during the day.
From a religious standpoint the inaugu-
raj meeting in the tent was a decided sue
cess, as was evidenced by the fact that
five young men who had listened TO the
services signified their intention to turn
to Christ and asked to be prayed for
During the meeting there were short
talks by Major and Mrs. Pebble, Capt.
and Mrs. Ray and Capt Mcdonald
Additional interest was lent to the SER
vice by the singing of several especially
appropriate songs. among which We're the

DECISION RESERVED.
Alonzo o. BIiss's Mnndamus Against
Directors Argued.

The cause of the application for manda-
mus prayed for by Alonzo o. Bliss. to
compel the District Commissioners to is
sue to him a permit to erect an apart
ment-house 10 feet in height on Sixteenth
Street, between K and L Streets. was
heard before Judge Cole yesterday in
Circuit Court No. J.
The petitioner was represented by Mr..
A. S. Worthington, and the commissioners
by District Attorney Thomas and Assist
ant District Attorney A. b. Duvall. Mr..
Worthington argued that under no con-
structlon could the building regulations
be distorted SO as TO prevent the petit
toner from being granted the privilege
he requested. The regulations in respect
TO the erection Of buildings in the Dis
trict, Mr.. Worhtington said. are plain.
and the request of Mr.. Bliss came clearly
WITHIN Tng rule. The regulation requires
that in no case shall a building exceed
80 feet in height on a residence street
nor ll0 feet IN height on a business strsst.
except on avenues l60 feet wide, where
q height not exceeding $50 feet may be
allowed. when the lot is of sufficient
frontage and depth. in the Judgment OF
the commissioners, to justify their sane
ton.
II IS a fact that. at the point where
It IS desired TO erect the building In quef-
ton on Sixteenth Street. the thorough
fare Is 160 feet in width between The
building lines. On this ground Mr..
Worthington con;ended that all reference
in the building regulations which re-
ferred 10 permits on business streets and
avenues Of 100 feet VIDE was clearly ap-
plicabIe to Sixteenth Street, and that,
under the existing conditions, the permit
should be granted. He also argued that
the material OF which the proposed build
ing would be constructed was also in
favor of the permit being granted. In
the present instance he said that the ma
terial to be put into any part of the
building would not be inhammable. and
as a consequence the structure would be
more than IS usually the case proof
against destruction by fire.
Messrs Thomas ana Duvall argued that
the building regulations were specific and
allowed of no misconstruetian as TO their
meaning.

Pleasant for Passengers.

Manager Passenger Traffic Martin, OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
adopted the use of electric fans on sleep
ing cars, following the example set by the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern at Gin
cinnati, Louisville and St. Louis. At
Washington and Mt. Royal Station, Bal
timore. the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has sleeping cars which lay for several
hours awaiting the departure of trains,
thus enabling the passengers TO retire
several hours before the time of departure
of the trains.
Ordinarily a railway station is about the
hottest place that can be found on the
top of tArth at night in the Summer, and
the interior of a sleeping car is still hot
ter; if such a thing can be. The fans
are placed in the cars as soon as they are
backed into the stations, connected by
flexible cable with the electric current,
and they run until ten minutes before the
train leaves, thus keeping the interior of
the car cool and pleasant for those who
are sleeping. The cost is very small. as
each station Is thoroughly equipped with
electric appliances.

modern ordnance. At present ne is in
charge of one of the big guns ut Fort
Washington, but as soon as the regiment
is ready for active service he will secure
a leave of absence and accompany it into
