AT CLEAN DRINKING MANOR.

Probably the most unique New
Years function held in the United
States on the first instant was the re-
ception at Clean Drinking Manor, in
the afternoon, by Charles Jones,
Gentleman, a descendant of William
the Conqueror, and of famous Amer
lean ancestry as well. In court
dress of satin and priceless lace, he
received a small but distinguished
company in the old Colonial mansion
on the once vast estate of Clean
Drinking Manor. The guests in
cluded members of the foreign en-
bassies and legations and some of
those most prominent socially in
Washington. Among them was H.
G. N. Dering, acting first secretary
of the British Embassy, who present
ed the regrets of Lady Pauncefote
and the Hon. Misses Pauncefote, the
wife and daughters of the late British
Ambassador to the United States, at
present living in England, who had
often been guests at Clean Drinking
Manor.

"Charles Jones, Gentleman, is the
way in which the last of the Courts
signs his name. On ordinary occa-
sions he is a simple and unaffected
country gentleman of so years, who,
however, in his high riding boots,
ruf1ed shirt of fine linen and white
stock, seems to belong to another
age. But on occasions like January
first, when he arrays himself in his
satin and lace, with silk hose and
shoes adorned with jeweled buckles,
and with powdered queue and silver
snuffbox ever in his hand, he looks
for all the world like reincarnation
of one of the old Courts whose por-
traits hang in the hall today.
January 1st, as usual at New Year,
there were great preparations made
for the entertainment of visitors. The
graveled walk leading up to the broad
porch, and on which it is said that
more than once titled Britons fought
with rapiers for the favor of Jane
Courts, celebrated beauty of her
time, was newly swept and sanded,
and the old worn boards formed the
floor of the porch itself were secured
almost white.
In the great fireplace in the hall,
resting on brass fire dogs, burned
great logs, and in the dining-room
two immense silver punch bowls, said
to be over 400 years old, rested at
either end of table laden with all
kinds of good things, both substan-
tials and dainties. There is not a
piece of furniture in the house less
than 100 years old at least, and most
of them are of great historical value.
Washington was frequent visitor at
Clean Drinking Manor while Presi-
dent of the United States, and often
slept beneath its hospitable roof.
After his visitors had been served
with refreshments (and the punch
was of the old-time Colonial brand
Mr.. Jones showed his visitors over
the old mansion. He told them that
he had been asked if he would con-
sent to sell the old place, and that he
had replied that he would, but only
on one condition-that it be preserv-
ed as it was and as its historical asso-
Citations give it a right to be. Mr.
Jones is not wealthy. In fact, he
has just about enough to live on.
The 100 acres left of the 10000 in
the original estate are overrun with
weeds, and the manor-house is badly
in need of repair.
A great many of Mr.. Jones histor-
ical treasures are in the National
Museum. He does not belong tc
any patriotic or historical societies,
and seldom goes outside Of his owr
home. In fact, his habits of seclu-
sion, together with his last century
dress and manner and his quaint
ideas, have gained for him among hi:
neighbors, not one in 20 of whom
know of his distinguished lineage, the
name of Hermit Jones"

and favorably known TO theatre-goers
by reason of his Identification with many
of the most successful plays of the last
ten years, in which he has played promi-
nent parts. For several seasons past he
has been the leading man for Annie Rus
sell in "a Royal Family" The Girl
and the Judge and Mice and Men"
He was also leading man for Miss
Maude Adams. During Mr.. Johnson's 5
stage career he has played altogether
10S parts, the majority of them being
original creations. Mr.. Johnson's repu-
tation as a talented young actor is well
established, and his admirers are legion.
In Hearts Courageous" he is said to
have found a most satisfactory drama
in which to inaugurate his stellar career,
and he is reported to have scored a pro-
nounced personal success in the role of
the hero of Miss Rives's story. The
Fl .
scenes of the play are laid in Virginia in
1775-76, during the American struggle
for Independence. 1t is love story Of
the Revolution, and is universally ac-
claimed as the best play yet produced
dealing with Colonial times. Many of
the great historical characters of that
time are made conspicuous in the play,
notably Patrick Henry. The scenic
production and costuming are extraordi-
narily elaborate and beautiful One set
ting is faithful reproduction of Inde-
pendence Hall at the time of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence. Mr..
Johnson's role is that of young French
Marquis who has been sent to America
by the King of France to inform the
Colonists. that France would show its
friendship for those struggling for free
dom should there be war between the
Colonies and England. The play is said
to possess one Of the most beautiful and
thrilling love stories ever seen on the
stage, and spirit of patriotism running
through the drama so intense that it has
frequently caused audiences to become
wildly enthusiastic. Mr. johnson is sup
ported BY very capable company. The
engagement at the Broadway is for three
weeks, and matinees viii be given on
Wednesdays and Saturdays.

who can account for the yagaries Of
the speculative market?
While the whole range of stocks from
rommon are preposterously low when
they ought to average high; cotton has
been kiting iniuriously high when it ought
to be low.
The railroad earnings have been high
and with big crops and the prospect OF
an European war, there is every lkihood
that they will be even higher next year.
Even If the earnings Of the Steel cor
poration have fallen off, the bankruptcy
Of the company is simply untinkabIe, and
there Is every reason to feel sure that its
business will not only return to the level
of two years ago but in the long run go
enormously higher, 1t cannot be doubted
that anyone who buys almost any stock
now, win have fortune on it after the
lapse Of little time.
On the contrary cotton has been SO
high that nobody who wants it can afford
to buy it. There are enormous quantities
of it coming into the market, the new
crop being q very great one, and. in
little while no man or combination Of
men will be able to keep the figure up.
In spite Of this for purely artificial rea-
sons IT is up, it stays up and may go even
higher.
Neither Of these phases of the current
market means business or anything like
business. 1t is gambling and madness.

regards which this precious combine has
for the interests of the people The vote
on these amendments is costing the tax

wanted the amendments or any part Of
the or not.
If we had any leadership or any ef-
