An Experience.

We had never seen a suffering man
real mad before and we didn't know
just exactly what to do, but after a
few rounds with him we agreed that
If he would wait until we went home
and got our umbrella we would talk
the matter over with him. This seemed
to make him all the madden, and for a
few minutes it looked very much to
us as If the Galveston storm was to be
repeated with us sole victim, so not
knowing what other course to pursue,
we lit out for high ground. We don't
know yet what he was mad about,
but II he will write it out and send it
to us by calmly disposed person that
does not spit all over us every time he
says p we will make il all right.

young couple were SO much in love with
each other that Mrs. Wilson decided they

PRESIDENTS THANKSGIVING.
Wife and Children Spent Day at Coun-
try Home.

A dispatch from Red HILL Va, last night
says: President Roosevelt, Mrs Roosevelt
and several Of their children spent Thanks
giving today at Mrs. Rooseve!t's new coun-
try home, plain Dealing" in the southern
part of Albemarle county. The party ar
rived on a train over the Southern railway
this afternoon. Their coming entirely
unexpected, and their plans for holiday
outing had been carefully guarded. The
party will remain at plain Dealing until
tomorrow afternoon. returning then to
Washington. Saturday the President will
leave for Princeton to witness the army
and navy foot ball game
The Presidents family had full oppor
tunity 10 enjoy the country at its best.
Save for occasional Slight g,r~ts Of wind
the day was ideal one for the riding and
driving wa'ch constitute part Of the Roose-
welt program at their Virginia home. The
ROE IrUm the railroad to the farm lay
along a rather rugged roadway with beau
tiful scenery on every hand. 1t was the
Presidents first trip to the picturesque
country seat since the early part of last
June, when he and Mrs Roosevelt paid
visit of several days. spending a part of
the time on that coca sion as the guests of
the Winners, friends of the Roosevelts.
The improvements in the house had not
then been completed. Mrs. Roosevelt is
extremely fond of the place.
The farm is one which was purchased
last summer by Mrs Roosevelt from VIM.
\. Wilmer a New York banker and Mrs.
Roosevelts original idea in acquiring ii was
to use it for just such purposes as the
present one for short visits at any time
the Roosevelt family might feel like leav-
ing Washington for rest and quiet or an
over-hoiGay paStime.
The place comprises a fifteen-acre tract
of land and modest little two-story dwell
ing. The house was improved to suit the
needs and tastes of Mrs. Roosevelt and is
deep in the heart of the woods. Its color
is ochre with brown trimmings and green
blinds A broad porch extends across the
front, and at the end, where an oak tree
grows, the roof of the porch has been neat
ly built around.
The farm is removed some miles from the
railway and is difficult to reach. 1t is To-
Gated one and half miles east Of Keene
post office, in the southern part of Alder
marie county, and a little more than six
miles from Scottsville, a small shipping

and rest satisfied with that? Or would
ne endeayor to show who had committed
| the crime? Was 1t to be either verdict
or guilty or an unsolved mystery?
Thus far there had not been the slightest
indacation of any purpose on Barstow $
part to do more than divert the proofs
from his client. If he had contemplated
| an aggressive campaign, or medtated turn
ing suspicion upon any other person. he
would not have permitted Gilbert to ex-
clude every other inmate of the house from
the field of inquiry. Miss Mapes had been
among the first eliminated from the prose-
cutor's case. Would she have been passed
by had Barstow had the fsintest suspicion
of what knew? Was it to remain for me
to develop her part in the story?
Suppose the clew which had been inexpli-
cably placed in my hands should lead to
important revelations and end by absolving
Alice Emory from all connection with the
crime? The man who accomplished such
a result would render great service, not
only to the defendant and her friends, but
also to the state. If there was any basis
for this hope an opportunity lay before me
such as, possibly, no juror ever possessed
before. But that opportunity might be lost
If my information were not used in Just the
right way TO confide in Barstow after my
late experience with his henchman was out
of the question, and to consult with GliDert
might be disastrous. Miss Mapes mad haa

Correspondence Affecting Engineer
Commissioner Reassignment.

Commissioner Reassignment.
The official correspondence which resulted
in the decision to make no immediate
change in the office Of Engineer Commits
sioner of the District, Notwithstanding that
Major John Biddle, corps of engineers, has
already served in that capacity beyond the
allotted term of four years, is short and
pointed. Under date of November % 1905,
District Commissioner Macfarland- ad-
dressed a letter TO Gen. Mackenzie, chief of
engineers in which he said:
referring to my recent conversation with
You, permit me to say more formally that
it would he prejudicial to the interests of
the District of Columbia to relieve Col
Biddle from the duties of Engineer Commits
sioner at this time and that he ought to
continue in the office, at least until the
great projects of municipal improvement
now in operation are completed. His rela-
ton to all those projects has been so init
mate and important that no one else,
however able or experienced, would do SO
we'll what he is doing May I add, that In
all his administration of the office, he has
shown, besides genuine ability and engineer
ing skill unusual judgment and tact and
that he has had remarkable success in deal
ing with most difficult problems. We have
been fortunate in our Engineer Commits
sioners, but we have been especially for
tunate In the present one. In his dealings
with the citizens he has been very accepta-
bic and / feel sure that | represent their
views, well those of the District gov
eminent when l repeat that the Districts
interests require that Col. Biddle should be
continued Engineer Commissioner"
Gen. Mackenzie prepared memorandum
on the subject of the letter for the Score
tary of War in which he said.
Major Biddle, having completed four
year term engineer commissioner of the
District OF Columbia, a change of station
would, in accordance with the custom of the
chief of engineers, be recommended in his
case. However, In consideration of the
facts presented by the president of the
board of Commissioners of the District in
his letter of November D. 1905, the chief of
engineers is willing to defer a recommends
ton for the relief of Major Biddle till such
time as the condition of the work now I'M
der way is so far advanced as to render
change less undesirable, If such acout-
escence with the wishes of Mr. mcfarland
meets with the approval of the Secretary of
War"
The action in the case is shown In Score

Morristown's 12eth Assem- bly,.

The dance hall of the Whippany River
Club of Morristown. n. j., was the scene
last night of the first assembly of l905-o8.
For the first time in 1875 years the assem-
blies are being held in private rooms. In
previous years these affairs, the first OF
which was held by Washington in 1873.
have been held in public halls In the center
of the town, but the only hall available has
been so crowded recently that dancing was
not enjoyable. Last night the hall was
decorated with fall foliage and evergreen.
Thousands of varicolored incandescent
lamps made pretty effect. More than TWO
hundred persons were there, many coming
from Madison, Morris Plains and New Yosk.
