fdence later when he told the story
with many a hilarious smile.
The old Kirkwood house is mere
ly reminiscence in the national cap
ltal. Its disappearance was volumi-
nously commented upon when it was
obllterated; and the story of the old
hotel is brought wildly to memory by
reason of the fact that another old
hotel, within a block of the treas
ury building, has been torn down this
summer IN order to make room for
an immense modern struct ire.
The old hotel was originally built
in 1886, for the use of the post Office
department. Within five years the
Doric columns of the new post office
department were erected, and the
postmaster general took possession
thereof. Then it was that the hotel
was opened. 1t has been known by
name to all who have visited the ma
tional capital during the past 60
years. 1t was what the proprietor
hoped it would be, as he expressed 1t
with his New England nasal twang,
"a very likely tavern" The hotel
which will take its place will be a
credit to this great and growing city.

bigger and better building. The old
Corcoran art gallery is about to be
taken down, in order to make room
for hall of records of the executive
departments.
Ihese are only a few of the i'm
provements which are being made
upon Pennsylvania avenue; and thew
have come none too soon. The prin-
cipal thoroughfp.re of the national
capital has lCng been regarded as the
pest paraue ground in the world; but
the Buildings along that thoroughfare
nave never reflected credit upon the
city, nor upon the people of the re-
public. The improvements briefly out
lined here really constitute a great
stride in the development of the ma
tional capital as a modern city.

Is merely a continuation of the feed

the grain bin, a, is built at an angle
as shown, so as to slide the grain
down to the opening into the trough.
This opening extends the whole
length of the trough and is about
one inch wide-wide enough to allow
the cattle to lick out the grain when
the pressure above does not force it
out. There will be but little of the
grain at time in the trough, but
that little will be Immediately re-
placed as soon as eaten. If hogs fol-

Where the grass is getting thin on
the lawn and you want to avoid
ploughing it treat it in the fall, after
the lawn has become pretty well sat
urated with moisture; if not wet then,
the following should be done in the
spring, although it is best to treat
the lawn this fall. Scarify it with a
harrow, containing many small teeth,
pretty thoroughly. Sow on blue grass
and red top, reharrow lightly and
roll. Apply, before the narrowing is
done, 100 pounds of dried blood per
acre. In the spring sow at the rate
of so pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre some white clover and roll. Dig
out the coarser weeds. Should the
blue grass and red top seeds on the
fall sowing fail add these seeds in the
early spring at the time of sowing
the clover.

coming and going as guests of the same
hotel. Vice President Andrew Johnson
was guest of the Kirkwood house on
the night of the tragedy at Ford's the

life by the hand of an assassin. On the
following morning it was in the Kirk
wood house that Mr.. johnson took the
oath of office and became president of
the United States.

president his commission as lieuten-
ant general of all the armies he was a
guest at the Kirkwood house. From
time to time Gems. Sherman, Sheridan,
Hancock, Logan, Meade and other emi-
nent military men either had their
rooms or took their meals at the Kirk
wood house. 1t was not until several
years after the war had closed, when
the armies had been disbanded, the
carpet-bag period had passed, and the
unusual business incident to and de-

ADULTERATED FOODS.
Arsenical Butter COlOrs, Highly In
furious to Health, Discovered
I'm Many Samples.

The Breeders Gazette has been COM
piling some figures from recent re-
port of the Ohio dairy and food COM
missioner and makes the following ex-
ibit:
Of the total of 1,471 samples of food
collected in the open market by the
Ohio dairy and food commissioner, un-
der the new pure food law of the state,
30 were found to contain adulterants.
In many instances the adulterants
were highly injurious antiseptics, and
coal tar coloring, which is very detri-
mental to digestion, was often detect
ed. OF Is samples of coffee only two
were pure. One sample contained only
seven per cent. coffee, and another
none at all, while in no case was there
more than GO per cent. of the real berry
present. OF % samples of cheese 10
were not pure. In one sample so per
cent. of cottonseed oil and lard was
found. In second so per cent of for
eign fat and in third no less than 81
per cent. of mixed fats and oils were
found. AS a rule the filled cheese con-
tanned only 30 per cent. of foreign fat.
Of many samples of pure fruit jam"
every one of them was adulterated; all
contained salicylic acid, and all were
artificially colored. Raspberry jelly
was found to be made of apples and
glucose. The commissioners report is
couched in scathing terms, and it is to
be hoped that the punishment of the
dishonest manufacturers may be made
10 lit the crime.
1t is to be noticed that the report for
the first time rebukes the use of the
present arsenical colors found in but
ter, and justly speaks of its true char
acter. Presently we shall have more
of such reports from other states, and
then the country will soon be ripe to
demand restrictive legislation. Let the
good work continue. Down with
arsenical colors!

A HISTORIC CORNER.
Occupied Once by Washington's
Best Known Hotel.
In One of It's Rooms Andrew Johnson
Took the Oath of Office as
President of the Unit
ed States.
Especial Washington letter.

ETTN HERE is a historic corner on
; Pennsylvania avenue which is
- now occupied by hotel; and
very few people now living know any
thing about the history of the local
ity.
For many years the building on the
corner of Twelfth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue was occupied by the pen
sion office, and then dry goods and
notions store built up successful busi-
ness there. Six years ago alterations
were made which transformed the
building into hotel and cafe and now
additions have been built along Twelfth
street, completely obliterating all of
the landmarks which were so dear to
us old-timers.
Nearly 90 years ago "Boss" Shep-
herd, the man of energy and executive
ability who changed the national cap
ital from its condition of a sluggard
southern town in a mudhole to a ma
ticnal city with broad avenues and
concreted streets, built upon the cor
ner referred to six-story brick build
ing, with mansard roof, and rented it to
the government for the use of the pen
sion office. 1t was so occupied until the
architectural monstrosity in Judiciary
square was completed, in 1855, and then
the pension Office was removed and the
Shepherd building was taken by pros
porous storekeeper.
During the civil war the corner was
occupied by the best known and most
popular hotel in the city, called the
Kirkwood house. Members of the cab
met as well as prominent senators and
representatives resided at the Kirk
wood house, and prominent officers of
the federal armies were constantly

opened all the envelopes and laid the
smaller ones, which ostensibly con-
tanned personal letters, upon the desk
of the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral; but the big official envelopes he
distributed to the clerks in charge of
the appointments in the different
states, and he always did his work in
telligently and with good judgment.
Gov. Crosby had only been the in
cumbent of the Office of first assistant
postmaster general few days when
he rung his bell, to which Thornby re-
sponded, and Gov. Crosby said:
81 want to know WHO it is thai
opens my letters every day before they
are placed on my desk"
That is my work, sir" said Thorn
by, bowing and smiling as one who
knows his duty is well performed
well, hereafter" said Gov. Crosby,
II do not want anybody to open my
mail. Let the mail be placed upon
my desk and l will open it myself. I
do not wish to have my correspond
ence handled in this indiscriminate
manner"
On the following morning, when
Crosby entered his office he was
amazed to see it transformed into a
general delivery Office and mail pack
ing establishment. His desk was
stacked three feet high with letters
of every description, not one of which
Thornby had opened. In little
space upon the desk before Crosby's
chair were $50 or 200 small envelopes
containing letters which might be
presumed to be personal, but at least
three-fourths of which must have been
official.
Gov. Crosby was no fool. He simply
lacked executive departmental expert
ence. He saw at once that the coll
ored man had huge joke on him. He
rang the bell, and when the polite
Thornby appeared, he said: "Thorn-
by, here is a five-dollar bill which be-
longs to you. Take all of this stuff
off of my desk and say nothing about
it to anybody"
The faithful and intelligent negro
did as requested. But the clerks, who
had been waiting for their daily work
more than two hours that morning,
had ascertained the fact that all of
their mail was piled upon Crosby's
