TRIO OF HISTORIC HOUSES.
where Hawthorne Wrote Many OF
His Books at Concord, Mass.

A. trip to Concord, Mass, is not com.
plete without visiting the Wayside,
which has attained its fame as the
former home of Nathaniel Hawthorne,
says the Boston Globe.
This estate was once owned by A.
Bronson Alcott, who purchased 1t in
1916. He rebuilt the old place and
called 1t Hillside.
A few years later, in 1852, when 1t
passed into the hands of Hawthorne,
the latter changed the name to Way
side.
The house is on Lexington road, and
on each side is a house of historical
interest. To the west is the Orchard
house, the home of the Alcotts, and at
the east is Grapevine cottage. the for
mer home Of Ephriam w. Bull, the
originator OF the Concord grape. All
these estates are the property Of Mrs.
Daniel Lothrop
After Hawthorne purchased the house
he made several changes in it, and
among them was the addition Of the
tower, as he called it, 1t was square
structure, over the center Of the house.
In this house and in the tower Haw-
thorne wrote a great many Of his
books.
He made his home there until his
death in 1854
For. several years young woman's
boarding school occupied the Wayside.
In 1879 the property passed into the
hands of Hawthorne's son-in-law,
George Parsons Lathrop, who sold it
in 1888 TO the late Daniel LothrOp.
Mrs. Lothrop generally makes this
her summer residence, but this sum
mer she and her daughter, Miss Mar
sgaret L0throp, are abroad and the
house was closed.

The Moorish bandit Raisulfs triumph
ant conclusion of negotiations for the ran
som of his prisoner, Caid Sir Harry Mac
lean, for $15O,OOO, has greatly increased
the prestige of the bandit chieftain. The
British government has agreed to pay
fortune as ransom.
The capture of Gen. MacLean. com
mander of the Sultan's body guard and
next to him the most powerful man In
Morocco, was the most spectacular and
amazing of all the feats performed by
Raisuli. 1t was made while the COM
mander was bearing peace offerings to
the outlaw, in sight of his stronghold.
Up to the time of his capture by the
brigand Caid MacLean was considered
invincible by the persons of the Moroccan
court

The financial gale in New York,
which created excitement in the East,
and occasioned uneasiness In other sec
tions of the country, seems to have
passed. The trouble that started In
New JS5rk spread to Pittsburg, but
prompt and effective action taken by
the clearing house association and the
directors of the stock exchange there
coped with 1t effectually.
The trouble In Pittsburg was precipi-
tated by the announcement of the en-
barrassment Of four concerns in the
Westinghouse string of interests, which
were unable, owing to the abnormal
strlngency Of the money market, to Sc
cure sufficient liquid collateral to meet
maturing loans. Receivers were ap-
pointed for the embarrassed Westing-
house concerns. 1t was stated that these
concerns are entirely solvent, and that
creditors would be paid in full. The
Iron City Trust Company also went into
the hands Of receivers. Its assets are
estimated at $4,OOO,OOO and liabilities at
$1,7OO,OOO.
The transition from unrest to reas-
surance in New York was due to action
taken by j. p. Morgan, James Stilllnan
and number of the most influential
financial interests In the city, who CO.
operated in an effort to bring order out
of the chaotic condition into which
the financial community had fallen. A
committee was formed TO protect trust
companies. After thorough canvass
of the situation Secretary Cortelyou
pledged government assistance to the
extent of $25,000,000.
Financial conditions in Chicago re-
mained practically unaffected by the
scare In the East. Financiers connected
with the leading institutions In the city
gave cut statements declaring that the
furry had not and would not be felt to
any appreciably serious extent by the
banks there. Conditions similar to
those existing in Chicago were reflected
in every important financial center
throughout the West. Reports from
over large area say that not only have
conditions not been disturbed by the
excitement in the East, but that large
and important offers Of assistance have
been made by western bankers to their
troubled confreres in the East.

Or Feed Them Food They Can Study
When a student begins to break down
from lack OF the right kind of food
there are only two things to do; either
take him out of school or feed him
properly on food that will rebuild the
brain and nerve cells. That food is
"Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from jamestown, n. Y,
saying: "A short time ago l got into
n bad condition from overstudy. but
Mother having heard about Grape Nuts
food began to feed me on 1t. 1t salts
fed my hunger better than any other
food. and the results were marvellous.

/ The Associated Press report of the
speech delivered by w. j. Bryan at
jamestown, Va, quoted him as saying
that the great metropolitan daAies are
controlled by the trusts and their col
mnns are open to the highest bidder. Mr..
Bryan later denied that this was a cor
rect report, asserting that he made the
qualified statement that many of the met
ropolitan dailies were SO controlled.
In a leading editorial for the current
Federationist, President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor describes
Secretary Taft as ''the injunction stand
ard bearer" and takes the position that
no one can compel laboring man to buy
where he does not want to buy. He says
that Taft's contention in regard to the
boycott would lead to the dispersion and
forcible breaking up by court orders of
every assemblage of workingmen, however
innocent or lawful their purpose, and to
the nullification of all their agreements.
Editor Watterson of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, in a New York inter-
view, said that old party lines had ceased
to exist and that we must now have a
new party. He asserted that Roosevelt
had destroyed what was left of the Re
publican party, and that Rooseveltism
was like Organism in 1896 Bryan would
have Mexicanized our currency, but
Roosevelt's reelection would Mexicanize
the nation. Bryan he characterized as a
destroyer Of plans and breaker of inn
ages. Watterson says he is out of poll
tics for good.
Before the American Bankers Asso-
citation at Atlantic City, Charles Emory
Smith, former Postmaster General, com.
mended the efforts of President Roose-
welt TO put the big combinations Of capi-
tai under control of the laws, but said
that, some of the so-called awakening of
the public and the anti-corporation agita-
tion was "a wild and hystericai crusade
against all colossal enterprises and all
corporate activity" He thought there
was a call for sober judgment and that
1t was senseless to decry all combina-
tions. He concluded that regulation it.

''Well, I am" continued the other.
And he was very soon at the front
door Of the doctors house.
Hello, therer' he bawled, and, seiz-
ing upon the bell pull, he well nigh tore
it off. "Hello, l say-house! Wot in

summons was instantly answered by
a brace of servants, accompanied by
the doctor himself
The door was quickly opened, and in
marched the traveller, covered with
mud, drenched to the skin, whip in

such capital quarters.
"Ah, this is very we'll! Hoss at the

And he very leisurely stood his wet
cowhide boots against the side of the
elegant chimneypiece.

stranger, repeatedly ordering him to

New York, April 5-Thirty iremen,
among them Chief Croker and Deputy
Guerin, were injured by falling debris
and damage estimated at $4,000 was
caused by fire in the .five-story build

sion the firemen fed, but thirty Of
them were caught in the crush of fall

Several years ago there resided in a
town. near Boston an old settler who
had accumulated fortune.
He was called "the doctor" for rea
sons best known to those who attached
to his name this honorary cognomen."
He resided i'm a large and splendid
house located at the top of a hill near
the main road from Boston to Worces-
ter, and il there was any one thing
the doctor prided himself on more than
another it was cleanliness about his
mansion.
The white colonnade and steps lead
ing to his house were constantly kept
as pure from soiling as were the rich
CARPETS which covered his parlor floors.
His servants were continually busy in
polishing the platform in front of his
mansion, and the doctor could see his
face reflected in the bright surface
which had been brought out upon the
carefully rubbed stairs. And some of
his vicious neighbors-one especially,
who had been overreached by the
sharp doctor-became acquainted with
the old fellows hobby. and he deter

for revenge.

SCORE DEAD N FIRE
Italian Hotel at San Francisco
Scene Of Catastrophe.
BUILDING BURNS LIKE FINDER

Most Of the Victims, Who Were Of
the Laboring Class, Were Caught
While Asleep and Burned to Death
Before Rescuers Reached the Scene.
San Francisco, April 5.-Twenty
persons were burned to death and
twenty seriously injured in fire
which destroyed an Italian hotel at
Seventeenth and Connecticut streets,
In the Potrero district.
The victims were of the laboring
class and were asleep in their rooms
when the fire started. Before they
could be aroused the flames had spread
through the building The walls fell
and the inmates were buried in the
ruins, twenty being taken out dead
and dying. People from other hotels
in the vicinity rushed to the assist
ance of the buried victims and sue
ceeded in rescufng all of them, it is
believed, from the flaming timbers.
Teams were hurriedly harnessed and
automobiles brought into service and
the injured were rushed to the Po-
trero emergency hospital where sew
era, died while awaiting treatment.
The fire that destroyed the hotel is
believed to have started in the kitchen
and had gained great Roadway before
1t was discovered. There were over
100 dodgers in the building, which
burned like finder, and most of those
who lost their lives were caught while
asleep and roasted to death. SO rap
idly did the fire spread that it was
impossible to do much in the way of
rescue and even when the fire depart
ment arrived the blaze was so fierce
that the firemen were hardly able to
place ladders against the walls. They
did, however, manage to save a num-
her of people On the top story.

Adam Bede, i'll addressing the lSenate this
week, stated that he had seen four Democrats
seated together at the Merchants Hotel and
that that was the greatest number he had seen
at one time since 1895. The jest refers to the
disintegration of the Democratic party, but the
same thing is true of the Republican party.
From the time of ancient Greece, it has been
supposed that republics must have organized
parties, committed to certain policies. kBut if
there is an organized party in this country to-
day it is neither the Republican Democratic.
The only parties that deserve the name are the
Prohibitionists and Socialists, for they.lknow
what they believe and why they believeit'
