Just before his death he presented the
bugle to Charles Lee, q faithful and
favorite slave. Later It passed into the
possession of Philip Lee, Charles Lees
brother. Subsequently It fell into the
hands Of Philip Shaw, a coIored black
smith at Bloomfield. In the meantime
the old horn had suffered from neglect,
and it became coTToded and the mouth
piece was lost. Recently Mr.. Rogers
purchased the brgle from Mr. Shaw

Lord George Goring was appointed keep

this land Lord George built for himself
g house. which he named Goring House;
that is the origin of Buckingham Palace
In 1866 the Lord Arlington, who was a
member of the cabaI administration,
hired Goring House and renamed it Ar
lington House. He It was who in that
year first brought tea to England. and
Il Is probable. therefore. that the first
cup Of tea drank in this country was
brewed where Buckingham Palace now
stands.
Sheffield, Duke Of Buckingham, pur-
chased the property in 1898, and built a
new house IN the place of the old In
1903. which he named Buckingham
House
George III bought Buckingham House

ELKIN IS AFTER
PBNROSB'S SCAAIbPE
Viii Oppose the Reelection
of the Senator.
Attorney General Charges the Philadel-
Phian With Being Perniciously Ac-
tive IN Defeating Him.

PHILADELPHIA. July Attorney
General EIkin is after Senator Penrose's
official scalp, and he hopes, with the aid
of his friends who stood by him in the
fight for govtrnor, TO defeat the Phila-
delphian for reelection to the United
States Senate next January If he
should succeed 1t would be the irony of
fate. as it was to save Senator Penrose
that Mr. EIkin was ordered out Of the
contest at the Stratford Hotel meeting
last May
The attorney generals friends feel
very bitterly toward Senator Penrose
for his subsequent activity in opposing
Mr. EIkin- They think the Senator
should not have acted on the committee
on contests in making up the p-eIimi-
nary roll Of the convention, and that he
should have refrained from presiding
over that body rs temporary chairman.
Besides he is charged with assisting
Senator Quay in inducing ElBin dele
gates TO desert their candidate and bring
about his defeat
Comforting With Friends.
Attorney General Elkin came TO Phila-
delphia yesterday and spent the day at
the Hotel Walton in conference with his
political friends. It was the first visit Of
the Attorney General TO this city since
his defeat AT Harrisburg in the Republi-
can convention three weeks ago. He had
been at home in Indiana county until
Tuesday, when he returned to the State
capital, and came to Philadelphia yes
terday.
He still feels his defeat for the guber-
Material nomination, though he does not
show It as much as he did the day the
convention adjourned. He does not for
get. however, that forty-one delegates
instructed for him or pledged TO support
him we're lured away from him on the
eve Of the convention, and that with
these delegates he would have Won the
nomination, with thirteen 10 spare.
Refused to Talk Politics.
Mr.. EIkin refrained from discussing
politics yesterday He said his visit TO
Philadelphia was TO attend 10 private
business. He was cIoseted with T. Larry
Eyre. o. Chester. who was one OF his
principal Ieutenauts IN the guberna-
toTiaI contest, and afterward met Sena-
NHI o4lt uGEs u t-Llt--eT. VIC mas Deel n
dorsed for United States Senator by the
legislative candidates in his county. Mr..
Eyre called on Insurance Commissioner
Durham, at the latter's Office in the Betz
building. and they left together. 1t was
assumed that the Philadelphia leader
called on the Attorney General. but Nj
E1kin last evening declared that they
had not met. TIE Attorney General left
for Harrisburg list evening.
Politicians Out of Town.

The people Of Japan have a mania
for English signs, and they food the
rooms at hotels with English cards.
They have no inspiratlve mood. and
they generally express an idea mega
lively which we express positively.
