Mount Airy, the ancient home of
Lord Baltimore, the founder of the
Catholic colony of Maryland, has re-
Gently been sold. 1t has been the
property of the Calvert family, of
which Lord Baltimore was the head.
ever since the foundation of the col
ony There seems to be some doubt
as to who is the real purchaser. Ac-
cording to one report it was bought
Tor j. Edward Addicks, the Delaware
politician. who intends to turn it into
a club house, while according to an
other report it was sold to a lady of
Cleveland. George e. Calvert. an EN-
ployee of the United States court of
claims, is the nearest lineal descend
ant of the Lords Baltimore in this
country and would bear the title Lord
Baltimore if it We're not now extinct.
The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say in reference to the
Calvert family and the property:
Thirteen heirs will divide among
themselves $4,000 as the result of the
sale to-day of the manor house of
Mount Airy. This ancient property,
famous in history as the home of Lord
Baltimore. the birthplace of George
Washington Parke Custis. the histor-
ian. who built Arlington: the stopping
place of George Washington on his
journeys from Mount Vernon to the
Continental Congress. and the frcside
which united the Calvert. the Custis,
the Washington and the Lee families,
has passed for the first time from the
Calvert estate. 1t was bought by Mrs.
Mary Gibson, of Cleveland. Ohio. not
withstanding the fact that Secretary
Hay. Mrs. Il. r. Littell, Il New York
artist. and a number of others made
bids for it. The property which con-
SistS of eighty acres. the old manor
mansion and the lake. lies Just out
side the bounds of the District of Co.
lumhia. 1t was built before Washing
ton City was thought Of and up to
last summer it was the home of the
direct descendants of the Calvert fam
lily. to which the title "T.ord Balti-
more" rightfully belonged.
Miss Eleanor Calvert died in the
mansion last summer at the age Of
eighty. Her brothers. John. George
and William. died before her. Their
children. however. numbered thirteen,
and it is among them that the $4,000
is to he divided as to the result of the
confirmation of the sale to-day by the
court of Marlborough, Md. The heirs
have disposed of the plate. the paint
ings and works of art with which the
ancient mansion was furnished. Sec
retary Hay. although unsuccessful in
his bid for the house. bought the IA
nous portrait of Miss Eleanor Calvert,
who married John Parke Curtis, from
which union George Washington
Parke Gusts. the historian and foun-
der of Arlington, was born.
The mansion and its spacious
| grounds have been sadly neglected in
late years, and. according to careful
estimates. repairs would require some
thing like $4,000. These repairs are
understood to be contemplated by the
purchaser. and the historic old man.
sion is to again assume it's aspect of a
former century.

A THIRD TERM.
Should President be Elected Three
Times?

IIHcS!
"A controversy chiefly of an acad-
emic character, although not without
bearing upon current political gossip.
is now raging in the. columns of some
of the daily newspapers of the East
ern States on the question whether
any President of the United States
should receive third term.

Presidents who are credited with de-
Ginning third s-Washington, JEFF

washington" says our Brooklyn
contemporary, "was just tired. Jeff

jackson was a physical invalid. Be-
sides he preferred thrusting Van
Buren down Calhouns throat to be-
ing President himself again."
1t is probably true, according to the
historian McNaster, that Washington
made no declaration on the impropri-
ETY. of third term.
Jefferson, however, even if he
could not have been elected to the
Presidency after the expiration of his
second term. placed himself on rec
ord in the plainest language against
third term. He expressed his views
on the subject in Il letter written in
December, 1907. in reply to invita-
tions he had received from political
friends in eight states to announce
himself a candidate for third term.

more than Ramon Jose Lacson, Fill
pino 20 years old. After winning dis
tinction in some other educational in
stitutions he went to Georgetown,
where his career has been especially
brilliant. In newspaper article he
quotes the record to show that there
were universities in the Philippines
before institutions of as high a grade
were established in the United States.
All these Philippine universities, he
states, "existed before Harvard was
founded, and, though they cannot
boast of one-tenth the number Of Har-
ward graduates, they can boast that
their graduates can pass any examin-
alton that Harvard ever required"

The late Cardinal Archbishop
Vaughan believed that social revolu-

this he agreed With his predecessor
and close friend, Cardinal Manning,
who in speaking of the great London
dock strike some fifteen years ago
startled Great Britain by declaring
that if men were hungry they were
justified in taking food by force. Car
dinal Vaughan was of the opinion that
the change would come peaceably.

remained for several years until the
king. fearing he might escape. placed
himself at the head of a fresh revolt

for two hours respite. which was re-

He was in no hurry about the moves,
we are told, and well for him he was
not. for before an hour had elapsed
messenger brought the news that Mo-
BANNED had been struck dead by apo
plexy, and Abul was forthwith pro-

THE FISHER MARTGN.
Conceited, Cunning md Intelligent
and without Fear.

Cancelled, Cunning md Intelligent
and without Fear.
The fisher marten deserves to bc
much better known than he generally
Is, II only on account Of his own good
opinion Of himself, his wonderful cum
ming and shrewd intelligence.
One Of the largest and hnndsomest
Of the martens. he has also agility,
strength and endurance for any two
of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length, with slim.
vigorous body, the fisher will travel
enormous distances in n single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every Whit Of scent, Outwitting other
animals and the cleverest trappers and
making himself Mt home wherever he
happens to find himself.
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlOck and spruce
grow in abundance, but he Is rs much
at home on the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep as soundly In a
low hollow Of a tree as on branch OF
a fir tree, where he will lie stretched
out in the sunshine like any old cat.
AS for fear. he does not know what
It is. He will not only face but ac-
tually kill n Canadian porcupine and
does not even appear to mind the
quilts which penetrate his body. He
Ia not particularly fond Of meeting an
old bear with cubs, but Is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs while
she goes Off on some little expedition
OK her own, while instances have been
related of the fishers In the Rocky
mountains even killing young grizzlies.
As for man, he appears to laugh Mt
him and his designs for trapping wild
animals He will pull a marten trap
open and take out the bait, whether
alive or dead; he will tear pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time ana
carry 1t off or drag the trap over some
rough projection in order to spring 1t
and make off more often than not
without having received as much as
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick. when
he finds a trapper is following his
trail, is to get behind the trapper and
follow his, so that while the uncon-
scious trapper is walking after the
fisher the fisher Is keeping completely
out Of danger by following the trap
per. Many useless mile has the
trapper walked in this manner, and
many good hoifa hoa no lost bV the
very same shrewd, cunning animal he
is trying to trace and catch.-Colliers

How to Make Good Butter In SUM
mer Time.
There are many farms with a few
cows, or perhaps only one, which are
not convenient to a city, with Ice an
-possible luxury and where for this
reason the housewife believes she can
not make good butter In summer time.
But even then good butter can be
made II one knows how to meet ad-
verse conditions and will take the nee
essary trouble, says writer in the
Sunny South. One prime requisite, OF
course, is cleanliness. There should be
enough milk vessels so that they need
not be all used constantly. Ii possible
there should be vessels empty and air
ing one day for use the following day.
The milk vessels should be rinsed out
and thoroughly cleaned with tepid wa
ter before scalding. for hot water
would otherwise cook the milk into the
crevices, when 1t would be difficult to
remove.
A good way is to rinse out each tin
with cold water and then thoroughly
scrub 1t inside and out with n gener-
GUS supply Of warm water. After which
treatment scald each piece with boil
ing water.
Without ice 1t Is quite necessary to
churn every day in warm weather.
keeping the milk in the coolest place.
which is never in the kitchen.
Skim the mornings milk and mix the
cream with the nights milk. and 1t will
be "set" and ready to churn next morn
ing.
The churning must be done early
by sunrise in fact. The cream ia then
at the right temperature. and the butter
will be MS firm and nice as one could
wish.
BY swinging the dish Of butter with
a stout cord drawn into the well 1t will
remain cool and the butter hard enough

How to Clean Window.

Use newspapers for window clean
ing. Fold the paper into pad, wet 1t
and squeeze out as you would sponge.
Rub vigorously over the panes, taking
care to have the paper wet enough to
let the water run in streams down the
glass. When you have rubbed the
glass leave 1t for n few minutes and
then polish with n dry newspaper. Low
priced newspapers are best for window
cleaning. as they are not so stiff as the
more expensive papers, and the Use Of
them will not only save the wear and
tear of busters. but will produce a
better polish than the ordinary method
Of cleaning.

EDITORS Henry Watterson Of the

And if the president, progressive in

with Panama by the simple process Of
inserting the word Panama wherever
the word Columbia appears, he will
