had their evening meal. 1t Is announced they
VIII remain there at least twenty-four hours.
Friendship is one of the Show" places OF
washington The house is only one of number
or country houses that offered for their
use but ii was selected for several reasons.
There are eighty acres of land most of it still
wild, but brought under partial subsection to the
landscape gardener. Only comparatively small
space about the house itself has been converted
into anything like a conventional garden.
This is the area of the old fashioned garden
with box walks over a hundred years old that
were planted when the place was first built. This
is quiet and secluded spot. Looking out from
one of the exits from the house there is a small
stretch of grass and gravel walks. and marble
trimmed artificial pond surrounded by statuary,
the whole inclosed by a tall cedar hedge.
The house itself is over a hundred years old
that is the original portion of it-but IT has
been added to and built around till it is now
from the outside irregular aggregation Of
cream coored brick and frame buildings far
back from the road. but with one corner in
plain sight. Aside from the cultivated gardens
mentioned, the house is surrounded by tall for
est trees. On the north a few acres are cleared
park fashion. To. the south there is big sweep
of lawn, big as several polo fields where the
horses are exercised and jumpers are trained.
There are several pretty drives and walks about
the place and the whole is shut in from the
road by a high stone and iron wall. with two
big gates that can be closed at need.
Inside the rambling old house everything Is as
dainty and cosey it possibly could be. The
interior has been brought up to date. in striking
contrast to the exterior and open fires. electric
lights and masses of flowers have made it
charming retreat.
This will not be the first bridal couple that
the old house has entertained. IL was placed
al the disposal of Miss Mary Letter when she
became Lady Curzon. and was the honeymoon
retreat of Comte de Sevres when he married
Miss O ODonnell the niece of John Carroll.
Friendship is on the Tenaly town road.
lust beyond the Episcopal Cathedral which
stands where observation-disclosures crosses, and Is

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE naval authorities
are disposed to extend for few days longe-
the period when the department may still ex-
pect to hear from the drydock expedition on the
way TO Olongapo and TO special apprehension

probably have learned Of il from the tender tug

have encountered the minor mishaps OF fract-
ured hawsers. and If such a thing occurred
more than once there would probably be several

stores and fuel from one TO another ship TO

city has the fight been so holly con-
tested as it is at present and every
thing is being done by the temperance
people to defeat saloon petition that
has been filed in the office OF the coun-
ty auditor and they are being as stout
ly opposed by the saloon element The
meetings were held in the different
churches, one for men, one for the

both, and at all the meetings the
buildings We're taxed to their capacity.
Speeches We're made by the business
men and the preachers. One thousand
dollars has been pledged by the bust
ness men to regulate the sale of the
liquor under the present condition.
This is done to show good faith, that
no more illegal selling of liquor shall
be carried on here. A few who signed
the saloon petition argue as the.r rea-

been made to control the drug stores.
The question comes up before The SUI

Ida Grove, April 24.-The movement
to start a farmers mutual telephone
company here is receiving considerable
backing. In speaking before meeting
here of the directors of the Ida County
Telephone Company and about ESQ pat
rons of the line, President Conn stated
that the Bell company was behind the
movement for the farmers independ-
ent company, and he said it was in
reality move of the Bell telephone
trust to get footing in Ida county and
kill the home concern. Robert Todd,
a prominent and wealthy farmer, then
made a heated reply in which he denied
that the Bell company was behind the
move, and said that it was merely a
fight of the farmers of Ida county
against home company that had
been robbing them for years. The
company asked that a committee be
named to represent the patrons, and
meet with the directors, but there
was a row over this and nothing was
accomplished by the meeting.
The farmers claim they are Sc
curing encouragement and support
and that they will go ahead and
build their line.
