PLACE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY.
Frances Tavern in New York a Ma

Both because of its antiquity and be-
cause of the many historical memories
that are associated with it, Frances
Tavern in New York well deserves to
be taken over by the city and main

Short of that. however. 1t is not I'M
fitting that it should now become the
headquarters of the New York State

The tavern stands at the southeast
corner of Broad and Pearl streets, and
originally was the mansion of the De-
lancey family. Having later been
turned into a tavern, 1t became as
early as 1868 assured of historical
memory. for in that year 1t witnessed
the organization of the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
The event which gave 1t its widest
fame, however, was Washington's fare
well meeting with his officers at the
close of the revolutionary war. Wash
ington chose it for his headquarters
when he entered the city after the
evacuation by the British. He re-
manned in New York but nine days,
and then at noon on Thursday, Dec. T.
1888, he summoned the chiefs of his
army to meet him in the great room
of the tavern.
1t was one of the few occasions in
Washington's life when he gave way
to emotion. With the men before him
he had shared the perils and hardships
of the long years of the war. His
words to them were with a heart
full of love and gratitude | now take
leave of you, and most devoutly wish
your latter days may be as prosper

pause said: 81 cannot come to each

Singing mice are rare, but a CORE

tured.
He adds: at has been warbling just

That mice do occasionally sing is
undeniable. Some observers say that
their Song" is softer, sweeter and
more delicate than that of the canary,
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as to compare 1t to
that of warbler or even a piping
bullfinch. But the question as to why
they lift up their voices in this tune
full manner still remains to be an
swered.
Three explanations have been sug-
gested:
First, that all mice are potential
vocalists and can learn to sing, by
imitation, from singing birds.
Second, that many mice possess an
exceptional talent for mimicry, to-
gether with a keen sense of the ludi-
crous.
Third, that some mice are subject
to bronchitis and that the so-called
song is only the wheeling of rodents
which suffer from the distressing com
plant.

to the last theory by the fact that a

strong to kill it sang" while its
