VAR ON RAILROADS.
The San Francisco Chronicle of a re-

the Southern Pacific railroad, alleging
criminal negligence and parsimony on

Other papers, taking up the cue, have
continued the attack with more or less
deviations from the facts, or the truth.

MUSICAL MENTION,

A delightful musicale was given last
night at Glen Manor, Forest Glen, by Mrs.
Susanna Oldberg. The program included
songs by Messrs. A. w. Francis, Alfred H.
Elliott Philip Gerry, and Misses Eva Whit
ford and Grace r. Fuller all of whom ac-
quilted themselves in good FORM and every
one was encored. Miss Whitford also gave
two recitations effectively and Mrs Old
berg sang a number of songs in that artis-
tic manner that characterizes all her work
She also played all the Accomplishments, so
that her contributions were the largest
share of the evenings entertainment At
the conclusion of the musical program the
guests wandered out to the. broad piazZas
where refreshments were served, and it is
believed that the Presbyterian Church at
Linden, for the benefit of which the affair
was given had its fund very substantially
increased.

usual, and took up the Revere, Regrets,

Houses That Have Been Presented
to American Heroes.
GIFTS OF FRIENDS and ADMIRERS
The Dewey Testimonial VIII Be
But One Of a Long List
LOCATED IN WASHINGTON
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The house that is proposed as a gift to
Admiral Dewey is not the first presented by
admiring friends to officers of the army and
navy, there having been several such by
way of precedent, but it is the first that has
ever been subscribed to by the country at
large and under government auspices. 1t is
sanctioned by the government, at least to
the extent of permitting the national banks
to receive deposits for the fund. guaran-
teeing that all moneys so received shall be
used for the purchase of a house for Adj
miral Dewey. and by permitting treasury
officials to take charge. unofficially, of the
fund-the present chairman of the commit
tee being Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Vanderlip. with United States treasurer
Roberts acting chairman.
The scheme originated with Rear Admiral
Upshur, and the original intention was to
raise 100000. Up to date not more than
$1,000 has been received, but the subscrip-
ton has been open only but a few weeks.
The committee has not as yet any definite
house under consideration, nor Will it have
until the size of the subscription warrants

cut authority.
The Grant House.
The first house presented to an officer of
the army was given to General Grant by
his enthusiastic and admiring friends upon
his coming to Washington at the close OF
the war. This house is Situated on the north
side of 1 street between I'd and Sd streets
northwest, and, although forty years have
passed since It was built. is still a fine man
sion, plain but decidedly dignified and sub
stantiaL The entire block bounded by L
and K and I'd and Sd streets was bought by
Senators Stephen A Douglas of Illinois
and Rice of Wisconsin with Vice President
Breckenridge.
Upon the eastern portion of this block
facing on | street they built their three
spacious houses. but before they were COM
pleted war was declared, and Vice Presi-
dent Breckenridge departed abruptly for
the south to assume at a later period the
vice presidency of the confederacy, leaving
his house on the hands of the contractor
who rooted it in, laid floors and put in
doors and windows, and rented 1t for
hospital during the war to the govern
ment- At the close of the war the house
was properly finished and a committee rep
resenting the friends of General Grant
bought it and the adjoining lawn, measur-
ing 115x315 feet, for the sum of $1,000
and presented it suitably furnished to Gem

auguratiCn as President in 1859, when he
removed to the White House. When the
houses were built the neighborhood was
decidedly aristocratic. but with the de
parture of General Grant it rapidly lost
its preStige-the center of fashionable life
moving nearer TO the Executive Mansion.
The neighborhood, although still Thoroughly
good. is quite outside the boundaries OF the
social world of today
Presented to Gen. Sherman.
When upon the accession of General
Grant to the presidency General Sherman
took command of the army, some New
York friends bought of General Grant the
house furnished for 5000. and presented
it to General Sherman, who occupied it I'M
til 1874, when the headquarters of the
army Were moved TO St. Louis. He then
sold it to Mr.. Matthew G. Emery, who
now occupies it. During the time that Cen
eral Sherman owned it he practically di-
vided the house into two, and built Il new
entrance to the western side. After the
properly passed into the hands of Mr.
Emery he completed the division, and the
eastern half is rented to a private family.
The house contained originally about thirty
rooms. The corner or eastern house built
b. Senator Douglass and for some time
occupied By him, is now used by Mon
slSnOr Martineii as the Catholic apostolic
legation.
The house in New York city which ex-
President Grant made his home after his
famous tour OF the world was also the gift
Of friends. This fund for the benefit of
General Grant was managed by the late
Mr. Frank Work of New York city and
amounted TO S2Jo.OOO. The house was pur-
chased for something like $4,000 General
Grant lived here until his departure for

sold the house some little time after and
took up her residence in Washington with
her daughte-. Mrs. Sartoris.
