The Dining Room.
To the left of the large hall is the din
ing room the color scheme of which is
blue. The beautiful hand carving is
even more lavish in this room than ia the
hail. The stuCco work over the door
ways,,. the windows and the lovely de-
signs carved in the old-fashioned high
mantels is the work of an artist in wood
carving. A legend attaches itself to the
hand carving throughout the entire struc-
ture. and tradition has it that trans

the promise that, when finished. he should
have his freedom Tradition fails to tell
us how many years he was employed in
the execution of these intricate designs
wrought out by the skillful manipulation
of the knife on the hard wood.

perhaps that accounts for it, and he sent
forth the edict that there were to be no
bed rooms above his and no rocking era
dies to annoy him. Some may say this
was indicative of nervousness, but in
those days they called il by some other
name.
For many years past the apartments
on the second floor have been used as
bed chambers, and are now fitted up in
that quaint style so well in keeping with
the style of the old residence. There are
no modern bedsteads in White Hall. The
old-fashioned, high-post beds, with the
graceful tester and the pretty figured
hangings are in all of the sleeping apart
ments. Quaint dressing tables, with the
long oval mirrors, old chairs, rockers and
washstands complete the bedroom fur
nishings of these typical, ancient-looking
apartments Indeed, when the visitor
goes through White Hall, he steps lightly,
speaks softly and feels a due reverence

Above the mantel in the dining room
hangs a portrait of Governor Horatio
Sharpe. a typical English gentleman,
who was Governor of Maryland from
1888 to 100. Governor Sharpe is said
to have been a very handsome man,
of prepossessing manners and affable
address. He was very popular, and
being light of heart and gay of spirit,
and single gentleman, his society was
much courted by the colonial DANES and
leaders of his day.
Although bachelor, his life was not
without tinge of romance.
1t is thought strange by many who
visit White Hall. that the Ridout family, +,
to whom the handsome portrait of the
proprietary governor belonged, should
have sold it with the property, but on in
quiry it has been ascertained that there
was a clause in the will of Governor
Sharpe, whith stated that the portrait
should remain in White Hall as long as
the residence stands. The portrait, there
fore, being part and parcel OF the old
mansion, went with il at the sale.

Ogle, daughter of Governor Samuel Ogle.
by which marriage there wen three chill
dren, two sons and a daughter. The
daughter married John Gibson, of Glib
sons Island, at the mouth Bof the Magothy
river.
At the death of Johnf Ridout, his two
sons, Horatio and Samuel Ridout, inher-
iRd White Hall, and on November 3.
1908. Horatio Ridout bought out his
brother Samuel's share in the estate.
Horatio Ridout was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Goldsborough, who
left one child his second wife was Miss
Weems, and there we're @ght children
by this marriage.
Goes Out of the Ridout Family.
White Hall continued in the kidout
family until 1896, when the handsome old
colonial residence and small part of the
land were sold to Mrs. John p Story, of
Washington. wife of Captain Story. of the
United States Army.
White Hall, the house, is in an excel
lent state of preservation. To look at the
place the visitor would not imagine it had
been built for at least 1873 years or more.
1t is built after the plan of an ancient
European castle, and when first seen
looks as if an European villa had arisen
suddenly from the ground by the touch
of Aladdin lamp, so entirely out of
keeping is it from the modern buildings
of this section. 1t is about seven miles
from Annapolis, and is reached after a
delightful drive over the Severn river
bridge, Mill creek bridge and passing
through the village of historic Saint Mar
garet
The house is built of English brick,
and has wings on either side, which
are attached to the house proper by spa
ciouS hall ways, in one of which, after its
purchase by Mrs. Story, bath room,
with latest sanitary plumbing, has been
built

Among the attractive surroundings Of
White Hall, are the old sun-dial and
the old well.
The old sun-dial tells by its shadow the
exact time to the minute. to-day as well
as it did nearly century and half ago.
The sun-dial stands to the left in front
of the house as II faces the bay, and is
attached to the trunk of an old tree, pos

The Montana state organization sus-
tanned in the early part Of the year a sad
loss in the death of one Of its most earn
est and best loved members. Mrs. George
r. Milburn. who died at Helena, Jan.
8, 1901, was taken i'll almost directly on
her arrival from Miles City. She had
come with her husband and children for
the purpose of attending the state inau-
gural ceremonies at the capital, her hus-
band having been appointed associate
judge Of the supreme court Of Montana.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milburn but the month be-
fore had celebrated their silver we'd
ding. The latter was highly esteemed
everywhere for her beautiful chara ter.
and for the earnestness Of her endeavor
in divers branches Of Christian effort.
She was the daughter of DR.. d. w. Bliss.
distinguished army surgeon, her ma
tive city Grand Rapids, Mich.
The w. c. T. u workers in Butte have
labored unremittingly to obtain a police
matron for the city Jail. The need for
such one has been a long-felt want,
and those who are familiar with the con.
ditions are unanimous in support Of the
effort. Mrs. Sarah A. Wige., a pro-
fessional nurse in the city, is recon-
mended by the officers here as an espe-
cially competent person for the position.
Mrs. Wiggin has made known her will
ingness to assume the duties, should such
a branch of the service be decided upon
by the municipal authorities.
