Not q single president Is buried ct
Washington. An Englishman can visit
the tombs Of almost every English SOW
ereign within a few hours They lie at
Winchester, at Westminster and at
Windsor. But only two cemeteries in
the United States contain the bodies OF
more than one president. The Adamses
both lie in the yard of the First Con-
gregattonal church at Quincy, Mass,
and Monroe and Tyler are buried In
Hollywood cemetery, Richmond. Va.
= OF the five presidents who died in Of
dce-Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, Gar
field and McKinleyonly the first two
met death in the White House. The
elder Harrison was first buried in the
capital. but his body was removed
later to North Bend, o.
Washington lies at his old home at
Mt. Vernon, where he died. Thomas
Jefferson was buried at his home es-
tate, Monticello, Va. A cemetery at
Montpelier, VT, contains the ashes of
Madison. The death of Andrew Jack
son took place at the Hermitage, his
home in Tennessee.
After the expiration Of his term
James K. Polk went to Nashville,
Tenn, but lived only few months.
The burial was at Nashville. Van Blu
rem died at his country home at Kin
derhook, N. Y, and was buried from
the old Dutch church there.
Pneumonia caused the death of Will
liam Henry Harrison a month after
his Inauguration. He was buried in
the congressional cemetery, but a few
years later the body was removed to
North Bend, o., to tomb overlooking
the Ohio river. The grave was neglect
ed, until the state of Ohio erected a
monument above it.
His successor, Tyler, died at the Ex-
change hotel, Richmond, member of

there was every prospect Of fight in

"There have been a good many
stories told of the quick, wit of actors
who have turned an accident or a
panic or row into joke" said Tom
Leigh, the old-time actor, in New
York, recently. "a good many Of the
stories are fakes, suppose" he con-
tinued, but some are true, and there
are lots that have never found their
way into print. The press agent
wasn't as numerous or as clever In the
old days as he is now.

John Broughham carried OF most
difficult situation by clever bit Of I'M
orovisation and saved the old Winter
Garden from the disgrace Of riot. 1t
was the first night on which he played
his buruesque Columbus there and the
house was filled with his friends.
among the most enthusiastic OF
these friends were great crowd Of
Fenians, headed by Mahoney, the man
who had Just then been elected presi-
lent Of the Irish republic at the old
Fenian headquarters in Seventeenth
street. There was q jolliflcation in
honor Of his election, and as he was a

was waiting for him, and he was pa
