Total Abstinence Resolution Defeated.
ATLANTA, July IA heated discus
sion was precipitated in the third days
session of the Young Peoples Union of
the Universalist church by the intro.
duction of resolution against the
liquor traffic. The resolution sought to
impose total abstinence on the members
of the union and enlist their efforts to
secure laws, municipal and national,
that would prohibit the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage. Rev. f. w. Perkins of Con-
necticut protested that the resolution
was restraint on the liberty of indivi-
dual members. Rev. A. @. Grier of Ra-
cine made an imprisoned speech in
favor of the whole resolution. 1t was
defeated by majority of 26.

GIVING A MAN A CHANCE.

It Sometimes Proves to BE the Making
of Him.
A commanding officer who has stud
led human nature, he states, will oc-
casionally make q brilliant hit when
he gives a mar what is called a
"chance," says the Culver. The fol-
lowing illustrative case vas told to
me by the colonel who tried the ex-
pertinent. One day, when out for a
walk, he met a man of his regiment
who was only too well known to him
on account of his frequent appearance
in the orderly room. My friend stop
ped him and said: you're a fine man.

don't think you are making a precious
Ass of yourself with thirty-six
'drunks' in your defaulter's sheet?
Suppose, now, that I were to put a
lance corporal's stripe on your arm to-
morrow; how would it be??" The
man was so surprised and delighted
that he took the total abstinence
pledge and never drank any more in
toxicating liquor. -Four years after
ward he married, and the colonel at
tended the marriage feast. The BRIDE
groom took his commanding omcer
aside. and said to him as he pointed to
the different kinds Of liquor that wero
ON the table: "You Q all that, sir3
Well. I have not tasted a drop even

VALUABLE LOT ron A JAckAss

history OF Site Of New-D Department Of
Justice Building 1T Washington.
Attorney-G General Griggs says the
new building for the department, of
justice, erected according to the plans
already accepted, will cost half a mil
lion dollars nor than was expected,
the total expenditure required being
>A,5oo.0oo. Fortunately the government
owns the site-a plot Of ground Just
opposite the treasury respecting which,
with Its immediate surroundings, some
interesting stories are told. Commo-
lore Rogers, years ago. brought to
washington from Spain four Andalu-
sian Observation-Disclosures of high de-
gree and purest lineage. The long
cared quartet excited a vast deal Of adj
miration. Henry Clay saw them, and;s
being himself interested in the rear
Ing OF fine stock, was most anxious to
possess one-so much so, indeed, that
he offered to swap" q large lot of land
near the corner Of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Madison place, valued today
at about $50, 900. The commodore ac-
cepted, and Mr.. Clay, having thus ac-
qu1red title to of the jackasses, i'm
mediately proceeded to lose it over a
gaming table. This did not end the
matter, however, for Mr.. Clay after
ward redeemed the jackass and sent it
to Kentucky, where it became the pro-
genitor of what is now the most re-
markable strain of mules in the United
States. As for the lot, Commodore
Rodgers built on it a large and i'm
posing mansion of brick, which in later
years obtained the uncheerful designa-
ton Of the "House of DOOM" because
of the series Of tragedies and misfor-
tunes connected with it. The commo-
dore died in it soon after its compile
ton. and then it was turned into q
fashionable boarding house, which fail
ed. Next it became the home of the
Washington club. When the civil war
broke out the club went to smash, and
Secretary Seward leased the mansion
for his residence. It was there that he
and his son, with three other persons,
were nearly butchered to death by the
assassin, Payne. Undeterred by its
tragic history, James G. Blaine bought
the House of Doom in 1890. and
from that time on he had nothing but
misfortune. He lost a daughter, and
his son, Walker Blaine, died in the
house. Finally he himself died there,
and then the mansion was torn down,
to be replaced by a theater, which now
occupies the site once swaped for a
jackass of Andalusia. Between the lot
in question and Pennsylvania avenue
was a rectangular patch, making the
corner, on a portion of which was put
up the building occupied in later years
by the Freedmen's bank. The rest of
the patch has. been held as a govern
ment reservation, and beds of flowers
in the midst of a well-clipped lawn
have made a charming bit of park op-
posite the grim old treasury. Now, how
ever, it has been torn up, and the bank
building has been pulled down in Or
der to erect the new building for the
department of justice.-New York
Journal.
