Washington, May 21.-Speaker Cam
non is $50 richer by reason of the for
getfulness of his son-in-law, E. S. LIE.
seur, who, as the joke is on him, has
not the courage to ask "Uncle Joe'
for a return of the money.
Mr.. Leseur is a banker in Danville
and makes his home at the Cannon resi-
dence. One day, either by accident or
design, he wore to his office a pair Of
"Uncle Joe's" trousers. That night at
his club a friend paid him 500, which
he carelessly placed in one of the hip
pockets.
A few days later "Uncle joel
donned the garment and discovered the
three tw~enty-dollar notes. He ationce sus-
pected what had happened and at the
breakfast table accused his son-in-law
of wearing his trousers.
"Why, you re much mistaken, Mr..
Cannon" exclaimed Mr.. Leseur. ct
don't have to wear your clothes, I have
several suits of my own.o
"Oh, it's all right, Ernest replied
the speaker, 81 simply found $50 in
the hip pocket of these trousers and I
know I didn't put it there. But as
you say you haven't worn them / sup
pose, of course, you didn't put it there,
so I,n just keep it, and he did.
MI. Leseur was in Washington recent
" and reluctantly admitted the truth Of
the story, which "Uncle Joe' had been
: telling with great glee. s

Sir Charles Gibson Property at
Minnetonka Is to Be
Broken Up.
TONKA TUXEDO Is
TO BE ESTABLISHED
Exclusive Colony Like that Of
New York Suburb Is
Planned.

Demolition of the Hotel st. Louis,
boulevarding and handspring of the
surrounding tract, and establishment Of
a "West End' or Tuxedo park on the
hotel site and the adjoining property,
are some of the features of a scheme
on foot to make an exclusive residence
district of the De%ephaven and North.
ONE neighborhood.
Charles and Victor Gibson, two sons
Of the late Sir Charles Gibson, are in
Minneapolis negotiating for the sale
of lands in the vicinity that still re.
main in the Gibson name.
Old lake people will regret to see
the passing of the historic hosiery,
almost the last of the old large hotels
which were once the b%est-known fea,
lures of lake life, before the cottagers
began to line the shore with summer
homes. In it's place, however, will be
established a colony that will be of an
entirely different type, but as much Of
a rendezvous in the, new era at the
lake as the Hotel st. Louis was in the
old.
Estate to Be Sold.
OF the Hotel st. Louis property
there remain between thirty and forty
acres Of the original sixty-acre tract,
which have not been sold off. Negotia.
tions under way, if contaminated, will
result in the transfer of the property to
moneyed interests which will handle the
land in accordance with the general
plan for making that part of the lake
an exclusive residence section. It is
the purpose of the Gibsons to dispose of
their entire holdings of some 200 acres.
in time, for homes for Minneapolis and
st. Paul people. -
The advent of the trolley line will
add to the value of the property and
will make the opening up of the district
under the new regime much more feas-
ib}e.
is expected that, such persons Of
Wet-fth as Russell M. Bennett. IT. r
Walker. Hazen J.. Burton and other
property-holders at and near Deem.
maven, Will have such a financial inter.
est IN the deals as will insure the high
standard of the new West End.
The Historic Hotel.
The Hotel st. Louis was built about
twenty-five years ago by Thomas N,
Eg1nton OF ~Covlngton, KY. He died sud
aeniy. at the hotel and was succeeded
by his father; Judge C. Egiuton, who
continued the management until The
hostelry was transferred to a st. Louis
Syndicate, of which Charles Scudder OF
the Hotel Lindell was a member. Some.
thing like twenty years ago Sir Charles
G1bson found the property on his hands
With few exceptions the hotel has been
opened season. after season until last
year; The year previous it was used by
the Minnetonka Boat club as a home.
Sir Charles Gibson's original estate
amounted to 800. acres. The old North.
ONE property, part of which is now the
home of Russell Bennett, contained 15G
acres, but this is largely sold off.
The Gibsons are now in Minneapolis
to dispose Of their property rs far az
possible and with the transfer a fam.
Minnetonka life for a quarter Of q
century will have withdrawn. The mem.
bers are all nonresident, the two rep.
resentatives here today being citizens
of St. Louis.

LOSES MILLIONS TO
WED FRENCH MAID
Scion of Foremost Pittsbure So.
ciety and Former Yale
Lion" Elopes.

Journal Special Service. {
Pittsburg, May 21.-Pittsburg's alb
solutely first family has been rocked to
it's social foundation. John Aston
Moorhead, son Of John Moorhead, Jr.,
and grandson of John Moorhead, who
built the family name and fortune, with
his iron and steel, has married his
mother French serving maid, and has
been disinherited. The only name by
which the French maid is known is
Frances.
Young Mcorhead is known to more
people thruout the country, probably,
than any other young Pittsburger. he
was formerly a member Of the Yale
football team, and was an allround ath-
lete while, at the university. His
younger brother, Turner, is now promi-
nent at Yale.
Young Moorhead has been what is
termed a "terror'' in the social set. He
absolutely refused to have anything to
do with it. He had no more use for
the grand opera and the swell society
crowd than the late lamented Billy
Baxter.
Heart Of Steel Melts.
Mrs. Moorhead spent last summer in
Europe and returned with a new serv-
ing maid from Paris. With the young
man it was a case Of love at first sight.
There were tears by his mother. His
father announced that he would dis
inherit him if he did not break off The
attachment. He steadfastly refused
and it was announced that Frances must
| go.
Young Moorhead declared if she went
he would go with her. She went last
Sunday and he followed. They went
at once to New York where they were
married.
They were heard from by the Moor
head family here last week, and are now
supposed to be with Horace Moorhead,
an uncle Of the young man, at his coun.
try home on Long Island sound.
