HOMES OF MEN WHO -. a.: -
:: :. WROTE FAMOUS SONGS.
7wo of Them Saued but the Third May Gioe Way to
/ a Place of Worship.

The homes of the writer's of two
songs that ha 2 thrilled Americans
with the impulse of patriotism have
just been saved by the subscriptions
of a patriotic public, but the cottage
which inspired perhaps the best loved
song in the English tongue is to be
pulled down to make way for
church.
An association headed by men of ma
tional fame protected the roof, which
in youth and for greater part of his
later years, sheltered Francis Scott
Key, who wrote THE Star-Spangled
Banner" Similarly at Newton, Mass,
the homestead of Samuel F. Smith,
the author of "America," has been
protected from the vandal's hand.
But the little matched cottage that
| knew. the early childhood of John
Howard Payne, and which in later
years when he was a wanderer on the
face of the globe, inspired the immor
tai Home, Sweet Home" is to go, so
it has been stated, the way of all
earthly things. The site where it has
stood for so many years at East Hamp-
ton, Long Island, has been purchased
and the cottage will give way to a
| church.
Until memorial association, head
ed by prominent Washingtonians,
| took up the matter of the Key man.
sion, it stood an excellent chance of
destruction. It had degenerated into
something hardly better than a bill
board for the advertisement of patent
| wares But Admiral George Dewey
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
Justice Louis E. McComas and District
Commissioner H. B. mcfarland be-
came interested, and took steps to
save the building.
The Key house stands in what was
Georgetown before it fused with
Washington, and became part Of that
city. 1t is on the terrace below the
hill upon which stands Georgetown
university, and at the foot Of the great
bridge, which spans the Potomac lead
ing into Virginia. 1t is on the route
of travel usually taken by tourists,
and can be seen in it's narrow street
from the hill or from the bridge. This
part of Georgetown is older than
Washington.
1t has been fifty years since the old
house passed out of the hands of the
Key family. In that time it has fallen
into great decay. The part of the town
which was once the favorite residence
place of the old families has become a
third rate river front community, and
in the building is conducted a cigar
and soda water business.
Some enterprising proprietor of the
store had the happy thought to paint
in heavy letters across the front OF
the building, "The Key Mansion"
Through it's fame he reaped a harvest
of small business.
Francis Scott Key lived here for the
greater part of his life, and main
tanned his law Office in small addi-
ton to the building. 1t was from the
lower window at the end that Francis
Scott Key, Jr., when a lad of nine
teen. stole with his cousin, who was
visiting from Virginia, and they ran
away and were married.
Keys family was living here when
he took the perilous trip to Baltimore
in 1914, which resulted in the writing
of "The Star-Spangled Banner"
One of his friends was being held
captive by the British in one of the
battleships on the Chesapeake, and

life burden to you by always re-

earn, but I surely have been punished

try to conceal the broad smile on his

ing the top of her head After a few
minutes spent in retirement, Mollie
lifted her head and wiped away her
tears, vehemently, as she said, in dis.
gust, Look at that table. Our home
is ruined almost, and what is the re-
suit? I've earned the magnificent sum
of $50 and had endless trouble I've
missed church, Sunday school, a re-
| ception, two picnics and all the pleas
ant times we used to enjoy, for the
sake of a little money! Dear, can you
ever forgive me?'
I'll try to-" said John, with his old
gay manner, that had entirely van
ished during the past few weeks. I'm
glad you will never want to go away
from home again. Perhaps Mr.. era

Il hope so,'' said Mollie, fervently.
Il promised to stay as long as she
needs me. and I'll keep my word if it
kills me-
While Mrs. Shannon hastily cleared
away a few of the breakfast things
| before walking downtown with her
husband, that crafty man had mys-
FERROUS business with a small boy at
the front door, and silver dollar
changed hands. The young couple
parted in better moods than they had
been for many day, and Mrs. Shan
non turned on the steps leading up to
her employers Office to wave her
handkerchief as in the old days. The
salute was returned, and she actually
smiled as she entered the hated room.
Mr.. Cramer crumpled up note in his
hand at sight of her, and said, Good.

ished, and did not hear the laugh that
followed her hasty exit. Half an hour
later Mr.. Shannon smiled to receive
two notes at the same time. One was
from Mr.. Cramer, and contained only
these words, Your scheme was sue,
cessful," and the other was from Mol

Miss Selma put the horse-chestnut
back in her pocket when her visitor
had gone.

herself. t*And practice up to my

So it can stay there now for a spell"
At nine o'clock the next morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennyman came out on
the porch together. 1t was mild,
bright day, and they stood looking
out at the sunshine and the yellow
leaves that floated softly down through
the still air. Mrs. Dennyman broke
the spray of honeysuckle that bloomed
just above her head, and put it in her
husbands coat, her old fingers fumb-
ling uncertainty for the buttonhole-

the street she watched him until his

she went in and shut the door.

"You see," she observed, gently but
impressively, to Josey, whose inQuisi-
tive eyes were fastened upon the win
dow, "you see there is nothing wrong
over there, after all. Never, Josey,
never be curious about your neigh
bors' concerns. You mind your own
business, and let them mind theirs
that's the best way, always
'Yes'm," said Josey.
And the admonition lay no more
lightly in the untroubled shadows of
her young conscience than did the
se-chestnut in the peaceful depths
of Miss Selina's pocket.

KEsrERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.

Prices Move Irregularly DOwnwards.
 New York, April 12.-Prices moved ir- regularly doWnwards in the stock mark ct to-day on narrowing transactions ot a professional kind. The declines were said to have induced some liquidation of long stocks, but importance was as- signed to the activity of the bears in the market. The news of the day was not 9f great apparent effect, outside few special stocks. In the coppers there was weakness both here and abroad. This was in connection with the fall in the prices of copper war rants in London and the marking down of the price of copper on the New York metal exchange. The denials by the agents of the great copper producers of the reliability of these quotations as an index of the actual market for cop per are given good deal of discussion, but they do not prevent the stocks of the copper companies from being de- pressed by the lowering quotat,ons Copper securities abroad, including the important Rio Tintos, foll sharply in price. This movement of the coppers had more or less sympathetic effect on the whole market. Professions of ap- prehensions over the prospects for the crops were .l factor in the depression. Tho growing listlessness of trading was Q notable feature. Reduction of of- flee forces by brokerage houses Is heard of from various sides. The continued decline in money rates both here and abroad seems to have failed to ncite any active demand for securities. The failure to respond to this development has much to do with encouraging the bears to make the attacks on the mark ct which have been noticeable for two dayi past
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement with the interior indicate a balance in favor of New York of less than a million dollars. The sub treasury opyerations have conuibut- ed &, S09, ,000 to the banks since the last bank statement

NINE YEARS ON THE ROAD.

Nine years is a long time for a load of lumber to be on the road between the point of shipment and its destina- tion. But that is the fate of load that arrived at Maiden within the last day or two. It has been side-tracked at one lumber yard after another, at various points in New England and New York, but without finding a con- signee who would acknowledge owner ship The box car 17,22S of the South ern Railway was loaded, so it is re- ported, at Bangor on September F, 189S Later it made made it's appear ance at Rouses Point, N. Y, bearing card addressed to the I. A. Shepard Lumber Company. Where this com pany is or was located was not stated and nobody seems to know. The car was next heard from on October

to Burlington. Nobody in Burlington wanted the load and so it was once more started on it's way. From that day until yesterday it had been no- body knows where. The first heard of itwas yesterday, when it turned up a Maiden. It bears the name of the Sweezy Lumber Company of Maiden on the way tag, but the Sweezy Lum- ber Company, disclaims all knowledge of it and refuses to accept it. The company claims it never ordered the lumber, and in support of its claim has the fact that company was not in business nine years ago as its princi- pal argument'-Boston Transcript.
