Saturday your correspondent looked
into the auction rooms where the
magnificent house furnishings and
happings belonging to Senator Stewart
of Nevada, and which formerly adorn-
ed Castle Stewart on Dupont Circle,
have been sent to be disposed Of at
public auction. The extent and mag
nificence ofthe collection is astounding,
worthy Of an East Indian or Chinese
prince. The sale is the sensation Of
the day, and has come near revealing
to the public a scandal in the family
Of the millionaire senator. The two
daughters of the senator protest that
the articles belonged TO their mother,
and that they should be kept in the
family. The senator has replied, in a
card to the public, that upon the death
of his wife he gave the keys of the
Castle to his daughters and told them
to help themselves. He now sells
what they LETT which he claims is his
own personal property. The articles
are largely Of Chinese and East Indian
manufacture, but include also rich sets
Of furniture rococo style, fiorid, gilt
and upholstered in Aubusson tapes
tries, all Of French make. Other
furniture is solid ebony and teak wood
exquisitely carved and upholstered in
Persian hand embroidery. The wall
hangings and portiers consist Of the
richest and most elaborate embroide-
ries ever seen In this country, Of
Chinese hand work; great golden
dragons, storks, peacocls, fishes and
conventional designs, on blue and
yellow satin. The colors are very
brilliant and the work remarkable. If
the senator would only give these
things to the National Museum he
would be regarded as a public bene-
foctor 1t is probable that these price
less articles of Eastern manufacture
came into his possession from the
Chinese minister who once occupied
Castle Stewart

The town council has come to a very
sensible conclusion with respect to the
Borough building, which is to put a
slate roof on it. An addition to house
the sprinkler and road machine will
be built in the rear. 1t is also pro-
posed to erect a steel tower for the bell.
These suggestions were urged when
the building was erected and had they
been adopted many dollars would have
been saved the Borough.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

There being now no very pressing
important matters before the Execu-
tive branch Of the government for
consideration and settlement the Presi-
dents cabinet is already on the wing
for distant parts Of the country. The
President himself and Mrs. Roosevelt
viii soon visit Groton, Mass, to attend
the closing exercises Of the school
where their two eldest boys are being
educated. Secretary Hay has already
gone to St. Louis TO attend the worlds
Press Convention, and deliver an ad-
dress before that body Secretary
Shaw and Attorney General Knox viii
soon visit the Pacific Coast and deliver
q number Of political speeches, which
are intended to arouse the dormant
public. Secretary Taft has gone to
the wilderness of New York to get rid
Of bad cold and to brace up by fish
ing and resting. Pension Commits
sioner Ware has announced that he
will retire from his position at the end
Of the year. He only consented to
become commissioner at the urgent
request Of the President, and has long
wished to resign. He gave banquet
a few days ago to the chiefs in his
division, and paid them high compli-
ment for their efficiency, faithfulnes
and loyalty. The Commissioner is
certainly very popular, but he prefers
the freedom of his law practice in
Kansas. Undoubtedly he could come
back to OOngress if he wished.

THH MATRIMONIAL
GRAFT IN THIBET

When a Thibeetan warrior, surferited
with the glory of martial life. desires
a wife, he waits upon the father of the
girl who has attracted his eye and
makes an offer of marriage. The father,
after weighing the matter carefully
and bloody feud-in turn waits upon
the priests and acquaints them with the
nature of the offer, at the same time
paying to them a munificent bride in
order to secure the answer of the deities
as to whether the marriage should be
entered into. The wife-seeker, should
he be diplomatic enough, has meantime
carried larger bride to the lamas, who
bleed" both father and sutton to the
limit of safety, when the decision of
the deities is given.
For a month the accepted sutton must
keep the family of his favored one sup
piled with meat and other luxuries, and
must be on his guard against rival
Suitors. At the end of a month the
chosen one is invited to a grand feast
by the father of the girl, where the
betrothal is sealed by each cutting
small incision in the arm and mingling
the blood flowing from the wound. This
function of blood brotherhood having
been finished, the girl is brought for
ward-smeared with grease and various
colored pigments, adorned in all her
finery, and with rope tied round her
neck as q. badge of subservience. Then
ensues a scene of the shrewdest bar
gaining. the father dilating on the good
points of the girl much in the manner
of connoisseur of blooded stock. The.
wishes of the woman are never con-
suited, but the bargaining goes on for
days, and even weeks. until a final set
tlement has been arrived at. The re-
quisite price having been paid, she is
led to the house of her husband, where
she is subjected to a severe beating in
order to humble her spirit, and made
to run round the village loudly pro-
claiming the merits and. valor of her
