The Whitehouse Villa.

One Of the most attractive of all the
villas, which sits in the midst of a flower
garden and grove at the top Of a hill. is
the Larches, the home Of John Henry
Whitehouse, dean of the New York Stock
Exchange. He has been a member of
that organization more than half cen
tury, but long ago gave up active busi-
nees to his son, Norman de r. White
house, and has been spending his sum-
merS here and his winters In roaming
over the world.
For man of his years he is the most
indefatigable and enthusiastic traveller /
have ever known, Mrs. Whitehouse al
ways accompanying him wherever he
goes and enjoying everything as much as
he. He has seen the world from the top
Of every mountain and has crossed every
sea and river that flows. and has always
carried his camera with him.
Mr.. Whitehouse Is brother OF the
late Bishop WhitehOuse of Chicago. An
other of his sons is MIR. Remson White
house, who was in the diplomatic service
for many years and is now writing charm
ing books at Ouchy, Switzerland.
Stern Castle.
Half mile north of Irvington, on the
summit of hill, is a Norman castle.
owned and occupied by Isaac Stern of
Stern Brothers, the New York merchants,

the other brother, has a handsome place.
On the opposite side Mr.. Jaffrey and Mr..
Daniels, two other New York merchants,
have summer homes, and a homelike
villa which formerly belonged to Charles
l.. Tiffany, the New York jeweler, is now
occupied by c. H. Matheson, sugar king.
Close beside the railway station at
Irvington Is building of fine proper
tions and attractive appearance. which
looks like a schoolhouse, but is vacant
now. 1t was built some years ago as
printing house by John Brisbin Walker,
publisher of the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
who lived in a comfortable villa in the
same inclosure and called it Barney
Park.
Mr. Walker brought his printing busi-
ness here so that his employees could
get more out of life for their labor, and
have better homes and greater happiness.
and he had many other atruistic ideas
to develop. But they were not money
makers, and he was compelled to sell his
magazine.
Then he set up an automobile factory
That failed also. and hts home is closed
the grass is growing in the roadway
and in the walks, and the place is en-
tirely abandoned. They tell me here
that the owner is in Denver.

Across the street is a still more beauti-
full residence. and once the home or
still more famous man. II Is called Nevis,
and was the country home OF Alexander
Hamilton. who named it after one OF
the Windward Islands, where he was
born. The mansion is large and impos-
ing and Is filled with interesting things,
including the library OF Gen. Hamilton.
which was one OF the largest and most
important in the United States at the
time of his death.
There, too. is a portrait Of Washington
by Gilbert Stuart which was painted for
Gen. Hamilton in 1898. Hamilton was
living there at the time of his duel with
Aaron Burr.

Angelica Church, his sister-in-law, ad-
dressed to her brother. Philip Schuy-
Ter. July II, 1904. It is postmarked

The letter is as follows:
"At Mr.. Bayard's, Greenwich,
"Wednesday Morning.
My Dear Brother: 1 have the painful
task to inform YOU that Gen. Hamilton
was this morning wounded by that
wretch, Burr, but we have every reason
to hope that he will recover. May I ad-
wise that you repair Immediately to my
father, as perhaps he may wish to come
down.
MY dear sister (Mrs Elizabeth Hamil-
toni bears with saint,like fortitude this
affiiction. The town is in CONSERVATION
and there exists only the expression Of
grief and indignation.
"Adieu. my dear brother. Remember
me to Sally.
