sAGO PALM OF TUDOR PLACE.
The O0ahOot OF One That Was Part
OF BOst0n's Famous Tea Cargo.

new toFk sun.
one or the most interesting homes in
historic Georgetown Is the Tudor place.
lie ssgo palm OF revolutionary fame
stands In the Tudor conservatory in WIN
ter and on the beautiful lawn in summer
1t belongs to Martha Washiugtoa's grand
daughter. who is the oldest living de-
scendant or the family. Mrs Bri:tan:a w.
hennon Is the daughter of Col. Thomas
Peter, who married Martha Gusts, and is
the widow OF Commodore Beverly Ken
non. who lost his life by tho explosion
OF gun upon the Princeton in 1874 The
main body OF the old house was built by
COL Peter III Isle. In this houss Mrs.
kennon was born and has always lived.
In l1s5. when the historic cargo OF tea
was dumped into Boston harhor. there
were on board three small palms. The
largest was carefully sent 10 Mount Yer
non, another TO the home of Gov Nor
ris, or Morrisania, while the third was
taken 10 the Pratt gardens. near Phila-
deiphla. Ten years later the conserva-
tory at Mount Vernon was burned and
the palm lost. Thirty-six years later, in
lsl3, Mrs. kennons mother drove IN her
carriage Ga journey of four days, 10 Phila-
de!phia, visited the Pratt gardens, bought
several little plants and carried them in a
basket 10 her own greenhouse. One OF
them was an offshoos OF the original saso
palm, and today Is a yeritable Colonial
Dame or Daughter OF the Revolution.
1t s 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, aprico.-shaped
fruit only once In several years. Its ter
nlinal budding at the end of the stem Is
Ike crown. Some yesrs IL unfolds long,
slender spikes, or palm branches, out sew
erai times during Mrs. Kenuons life there
has been a wonderful growth OF fern
shaped, delicate leaves, soft and spongy
in texture and color. When left on the
tree until the sap Is pretty wei. down in
the trunk they retain their shape and
color many years. Botanists have exam
ined them with keen interest. 1t appears
like a cabbage, and slowly unfolds .s
yellowish brown fern leaves. after the
fashion OF our housa ferns. IL left on the
tree they die.
Mrs kennon remembers well Lafay-
cites visit 10 Tudor place when she was
a little Virginia maid OF 8 years and the
sage palm was only III years old.

THE FALL OF A CHIEFTAiN.

THE FALL OF A CHlEFTAiN+
There never was such al overturn in
this world. Each Of these six men was
as though he had been struck. But
with Silver the blow passed almost in
stantly. Every thought OF his soul
had been set full-sretch. like racer.

in a single second. dead: and he kept his
head. found his temper. and changed
his plan before the others had had time
TO realize the disappointment.
"Jim." he whispered. take that, and
stand by for trouble"
And he passed me double-barreled
pistol.
At the same time he began quietly
moving norihward. and in few steps

Us and on the verge of strangling when

Sure enough. there was no hurry. In

could see the three survivors still run

were already between them and their
boats. and so we four sat down TO

Ing for cap'n again? You're pushing
lad, to be sure"
But this time everyone was entirely
in Merry's favor. They began to scram-
BILE out of the excavation, darting fu-
rious looks behind them. One thing
observed, which looked well for US;
they all got out upon the opposite side
from Silver.
Well, there we stood, two on one
side, five on the other, the pit between
us. and nobody screwed up high enough
to offer the first blow. Silver never
moved; he watched them, very upright
on his crutch, and looked as cool as ever
saw him. He was brave, and no mis-
take.
At last, Merry seemed to think
speech might help matters.

He was raising his arm and his voice,

three musket shots flashed out of the
thicket Merry tumbled head foremost
into the excavations; the man with the
bandage spun round like a teetotum,
and fell all his length upon his side,
where he lay dead, but still twitching:
and the other three turned and ran
for it with all their might.

fired three barrels of pistol into the
struggling Merry; and as the man rolled

GOOD INQUIRY.
Board Finishes Its Sittings After
Hearing Some New Evidence.


The Court on Inquiry convened by
the President on the application Of
John Good concluded its session Sat
urday night. Some new testimony was
presented. This came from witnesses
called by the recorder. Lieut.. Carlyle
of H, formerly a sergeant in Z, testi-
fed that ne saw a number of times a
sight in a locker in Goods bed room.
Sergeant Stanmore, at present in E
testified TO the same thing. Capt.
Coyne, said the sight was lying around
Goods room several days. Sergeant
Taylor. Company E, saw the sight on
Goods table once the day sight was
found.
J. D. Tucker was called in rebuff
tai. Kept a bottle Of tonic in the
locker mentioned by Carlyle and Stan
more during time they say they saw
sight there. Did not see it there. Wis
tied locker twice a day to get tonic.
Mr.. Robertson, attorney for Good
stated that two afidavits corroborat-
ing fuckers testimony could be filed.
Leave was given 10 file the sworn
statements not later than Wednesday
afternoon of this week,
Arguments were made by Mr. Rob
ertson and Captain Kinney. Mr.. Rob
ertsOn contended that Mr. Good was
convicted on circumstantial testimony
and that there was every ground, even
on the testimony given before the
court martial, of reasonable doubt as
TO guilt. Captain Kinney spoke pretty
plainly of the attitude in which the
convicted man stood and held that no.
thing had been presented to warrant
a reopening of the case.
1t is supposed that in week or so
the court will make a return to the
President. Very little interest has TAX
en- in the affair. While the inquiry has
been open TO all caring to attend, there
have been no spectators. All the at
tOrneys in the case mentioned pardon
in their arguments. The lawyers of
the convicted man said he would not
care to sue for pardon. This course
was advised or suggested by the court
recorder.
