the chairman took the earliest OPP
portunity 10 introduce Mr. Harrison
The ex-president rose and stood by
his chair. which had been placed
some distance back from the piazza
rail. An instant he regarded the
crowd below. Apparently he was
about TO speak when the group that
had pressed about the parlor door
opened and George the chore boy,
his trousers tucked into the tops Of
his great, coarse boots, his coat
sleeves falling over his hands and
almost concealing them, his flannel
shirt open al the neck-George, with
his smile and his stagger highly de-
veloped-stepped out before the as
tonished assembIage and walked
quickly TO the railing.
Uncovering with great care his
frouzy head, he laid his broad brim-
med hat on the secretary S table
Wholly unmindful Of the gentleman
over whose distinguished face there
futtered a half quizzical, half anus
ed look, he turned TO the crowd, and
with all the confidence and assur-
ance of a speaker who is conscious
Of the power of his words, said:
Ladies and gentlemen, Ipresume
you came here TO hear me speak. "
The presumption was too greatly
exaggerated to pass unnoticed. Be
fore George could further indicate
the supposed desires of his audience,
he was struggling in the hands OF
the irate committeeman, and the
nails in his boot heels were drawing
parallel lines on the boards of the
piazza. His exit was through the
same door that had marked his tri-
umphant entry, and it was just in
side this opening that he fell in
heap and the smile collapsed. After
thus forcibly dismissing the intrud-
er the members of the committee
returned to their seats.
And then the president spoke

MUsr MAKE THEM OUR ALLIES

Tbs railroad plaza matter, which
did not at first meet With that de-
gree Of enthusiasm at the hands Of
some of the railroad people which
we al hoped for, is assuming a
more promising situation. If the
two railroad companies will join
the citizens Of this town, and the
town corporation, in planting and
maintaining q flower garden, it
will be recognized by the outsider
as a sign that we are on pretty
good terms. It's the popular
thing to condemn the railroad
companies on the slightest provo
cation, or upon none at all, but we
all know they are the most formid-
able allies or enemies a town can
have. Vinita should do every
thing in reason to strengthen the
ties Of friendship which are now
beginning to manifest themselves
in this direction.

One August day in the summer
Of 1895 there was a great gathering
at the only hotel at Old Forge, the
best known of the gateways to the
Adirondacks. A pole, tall, sturdy
looking piece of timber, was to be
raieed and ex-President Benjamin

about the hotel, filling the piazzas,
and seeking shelter in the little par

In this lettering crowd was q
chore boy from one of the Fourth

fellow, but Of unusual cunning and
shrewdness. He had greedy appe-
tite, and most of the time was fool

who had gathered there were nerv-

chore boy, ventured the remark
that if the president didn't hurry he
would get out on the piazza and

boldness he was dragged from the

STEWART CASTLE SOLD.
Montana's New Senator Purchases
the Famous Mansion.

Stewart Castle" at Dupont Circle. the
home of Senator William NJ. Stewart, of
Nevada and one of the historic mansions
in the National Capital, has been sold to
William A. Clark Senator from Montana.
The deal was consummated several days
ago. and finally completed yesterday. when
Annie E. T. Stewart and her husband, Sen
atCr Stewart, placed the deed on record
transferring the property to the new own
er. The consideration named was so. but
the deed bears upon its face revenue stamps
aggregating s145, which indicates that the
actual price paid for the residence and the
ground which it occupies is S145.00Q.
Just what Senator Clark will do with the
property he acquired yesterday is not
known. There are strong reasons for be-
lieving that he will supplant the dull gray
castle with splendid mansion to be oc-
cupied by his household during his in
cumbency as Senator.
Another report has 1t that the Stewart
home will be demolished to make way for a
building which, in size and equipment, will
surpass every other in the city. 1t is said
that this structure will cost upward of a
million dollars, and will be of the most
modern fireproof construction throughout.
The intention, 1t is said, is TO build a
twelye-story hotel, having about 500 rooms.
II is stated that both Senators Stewart and
Clark are interested in the enterprise, but
that New York capital and other large
hotel interests are likewise largely repre-
sented. The idea of building an apartment
house on the Stewart Castle site Is no new
one, proposition TO that effect having been
made several years ago 1t fell through.
however, because the price asked by Senator
Stewart for the property was at the time
deemed too high.
Stewart Castle is one of the famous
houses of Washington, and was erected in
1874. 1t marked the first advance of the
Capital in the now well-b built northwest
section, and friends of the Senator jestingly
referred TO the building as Stewart S
folly. 1t was yeritable palace at the
time. and many referred to the project as
daring and foolhardy move. There Is a
spacious ballroom and a magnificent hall,
and the great proportions of the structure
made it the envy OF every hostess in So
ciety. After the marriage of their daugh-
| ters, Senator and Mrs. Stewart concluded
that the mansion was too large for them,
for term of years. 1t is said that during
that time the property was used badly, and
that some OF the best rooms were utilized
as kitchens. Senator Stewart took the
residence back at the expiration of the
lease, and he spent several thousand dollars
in having his house repaired after the exit
of the Chinese, and subsequently entered a
claim against the Chinese Government for
damages. Since then the house has been
| occupied by Senator and Mrs. Stewart

War VETERANS COMING
Soldiers Who Fought Against Spain
Will Meet To-day.
Few Delegates Arrived Inst Night,
uIed Speeches of the President and
Cabinet officers May BE Omit
ted-Major General keifer Here.

Preparations have been completed for the
reception of the delegates to the convention
of Spanish-American war veterans, which
will be convened in this city today for the
purpose of effecting a permanent organiza-
ton. Members of the reception committee
who were assigned to the various railway
stations to greet the incoming delegates
were at their posts last night. They re-
ported late last night that their services
were not in demand to any great extent
1t was thought that only a small number of
delegates arrived. Two veterans from New
York State visited Major Hodgson last night
in Centre Market Armory and reported that
in the neighborhood of twelve delegates
from that State would arrive today Dele
gates in larger numbers are expected to-
day.
Maj. Gen. Joseph Warren Keifer, of
Springfield, Ohio, commander -chief, ar
rived in Washington last night, and regis
tered at the Ebbitt House. which will be
the headquarters of the delegates. General
Keifer stated to Times reporter last night
that he was unacquainted with the pro-
grsmme which will be followed today and
tomorrow. Adjt. Gen. William Christopher
Liller, of Lancaster, Pa. he said, was alone
acquainted with the details of the business
to be brought before the convention. Adju-
tant General Liller. he added. had been ex-
pected to reach Washington last night. but
had stopped in Philadelphia and would not
arrive in this city until this morning. A
conference Will be held at 9 o'clock this
morning at the Ebbitt House where ar
rangements for the two days of the conven-
tion will be perfected.
There is no doubt" said General Kef-
er, that the convention will be a decided
success. There will undoubtedly be a
with Spain present The idea is favored
throughout the country and the great
benefits which will result from it are gen
orally recognized"
II is understood that the programme as
printed in The Times, and which was pre-
sented by the adjutant general will be
followed Major Hodgson stated last night
that President Mckinley. who was expect
ed to address the veterans. has advised
that should only small number of dele
gates be present it would be best to omit
the speeches suggested by Adjutant Gen
cal Liler The President will meet the
delegates at reception in the East Room
at the White House. Should large num-
Der of delegates be present today Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries Long. and
Root, and General Miles will probably ad-
dress the convention as has been suggested
in the programme. sr
The Armory, in which the sessions of
the convention are to be held, is decorated
with flags and bunting secured from the
navy yard, the Marine Corps, and the Dis
trict of Columbia
