It Is regrettable that there is little or
the original furniture IN the Washington
home. Soon after Mrs. WashIngtOn's s
death most Of It was disposed of at a
sale. George Washington Parke Custis
bought nearly al of the notable articles
and took them to Arlington. Some
OF them he presented to the government,
and they are now in the National Mu-
scum When the Lees left Arlington. dur
ing the civil war. they had the Washing
ton furniture then owned by them con-
veyed to a place of safety, and part Of
this is now owned by the Lee and Lewis
families. Among the original articles OF
furniture are the great carpet woven for
George Washington and presented to him
by Louis XVI his parlor mirror. his
bookcase, his travelling trunk. and the
harpsiChOTd upon which the bewitching
Miss Custis played. Mount Vernon may
be seen at a great distance from the Po-
tonlac. AS 1t stands to-day il is a model
country home, which the passenger on a
steamer from Washington TO Norfolk
might think was the estate of some pros
porous Virginia planter. but for the fact
that as the boat approaches the landing il
slows down and the bell is tolled in honor
Of the resting place OF him who was first
in the hearts Of his coUntrymen."

Travelling Man Suffers From One

The man of monumental nerve was
on yesterday mornings passenger
train out of the city. After clear

and placing himself and his belong

other passengers, the gentleman be-
came dissatisfied with his surround

delicacy led him to invite occupants
to retire while he changed his shirt.
Perhaps it was to their advantage
that they did. Later he put himself
down comfortably and launched upon
an exposition of railroad and finan-
cial views. After he had ridden about
so miles the Pullman conductor
came in and politely asked for his
fare.
The man of nerve, as ample as his
bulky form, looked first in astonish-
ment and next in indignation at the
conductor. Then he sputtered and
finally declared that he proposed to
pay nothing. He had come in the
car with another man and the other
man had paid. If one paid two
should ride, as they required but one
seat, ana he ulu lot p'opoSC W w

conductor was not going to get it.
A night in Ely had evidently loaded
the gentleman with anti-railroad
germs, as near as might be gathered
from the next few minutes converse
ton, conducted exclusively by the
man of nerve and in tones that
sounded like the last end of freight
depot exhortation. When he paused
for breath and to glover upon the
conductor the latter informed him
that he would either have to leave
the car or pay, just as everybody else
had done. With assurance to the
conductor that he would hear from
him and that the railroad and Pull
