necessary TO meet the Districts proportion

ruittee from their number was appointed
to investigate the case. They found the
Misses Pendergrast living on the top of
a mountain In q lonely house, lent thor
by a citizen of Oxanna, and in need OF
the necessities of life.
They are both too old to work, one be-
ing 90 and the other n years of age, and
except for s. a month given them by the
county they are entirely without the
means Of supporting life.
The citizens of Oxanna are building
them q two-room house, as their present
dwelling IL in too lonely situation for
them to live In with safety, and the An
niston Chapter Of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution have undertaken to
provide them with warm winter clothing
as well as given them the surplus at
present in their treasury. But this aid
will not be SUFFICIENT to carry these two
old women through the winter, so If any
other Chapter could contribute any
amount, however small 1t might be, to-
ward the support of these needy descend
ants Of a Revolutionary soldier, 1t would
be most gratefully received and any such
contribution may be forwarded to Mrs.
Walter Robinson, the Secretary of the

Nearly every visitor to Washington has
seen the Octagon House, at the corner OF
New York Avenue and Eighteenth Street:
which is pointed out as the home OF
President Madison pending the rebuilding
of the White House after it was burned
by the British in 1914. The famous old
house was yesterday sold to the American
Institute of Architects, which has rented
1t for the past few years. The price PAID
was $4,000. 1t is regarded as one of the
finest examples Of colonial architecture
to be found anywhere in the country. 1t
was completed in the last years of the
eighteenth century and, despite its great
age. is in splendid condition, the only
drawback about 1t being its location near
the Potomac River. The property has
never been out of the possession of the
Tayloe family, and the deed of transfer
was signed by the representatives of Ed
ward D. Tayloe and May Lonax Taylos

Congress to buy 1t. After making the
Acquaintance of all the Senators she grad

to enable her to get intrenohed IN the

charged with selling books she boldly
denied the accusation and refused to de-
