neyings about Washington and in the
suburbs have no official significance.
Mrs. Taft's car, like the other White
House automobiles, has the right of
way over all vehicles in Washington.
and will not be compelled to observe
any speed limit. Her car is upholstered
in dark blue broadcloth and her chauf'
feur wears neat and transformations
livery of corresponding tint. On either
side at the front are mirrors, which
enable the chauffeur to keep constant
ly informed as to what vehicles are
following him, and thus minimize the
danger of collisions at turns.
The interior of the car is the en-
bodiment of luxury. There is an cleo
trio dome light. supplied with current
from the storage battery of sufficient
capacity to keep 1t aglow for "a hours.
Occupants of the tonneau can COM
municate with the chauffeur by means
of a speaking tube, or may employ an
annunciator, which causes to flash up
before the eyes of the car driver such
signals as start" stop" SLOW"
faster" right" left" home" etc.
The most distinctive feature of
President Taft's motors is the insignia
on the side doors. in lieu of the mono
grams which are now displayed by
most owners of expensive automobiles.
The emblem on the presidential car Is
the coat of arms of the United States
in colors and this decoration serves
instantly to identify the car to all
passers by in Washington. The coat
of arms thus emblazoned takes the
place, in sense, of the red, white
and blue cockades which distinguished

Roosevelt administration.

beautiful heiress of Washington. For
some time Burns was opposed to the
projected transfer of land to the gov
eminent. and the president and com
missioners had several conferences
with him On one of these occasions
the choleric Scotchman answered one
of Washington's arguments by this
outburst: II suppose, Mr.. Washington,
you think people are going to take
every grist from you as pure grain;
but what would you have been If you
hadn't married the rich Widow Gus
tis?"
Gen. Van Ness. a well-born New
Yorker, was one of the many suitors
for the hand of Marcia Burns. He be-
came resident of Washington. living
at first with his bride in the old cot
tage which she would never permit
to be taken down. He became mayor
of the city. his portrait was painted by
Gilbert Staurt. the mansion erected on
the Burns estate was one OF the finest
in the country and the resort of the
distinguished people of Washington.
In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had
erected a tomb In imitation of the
temple of Vesta. On each anniversary
of his death the legend has 1t that his
favorite troop of six white horses
make a ghostly midnight gallop around
the old mansion. Whether the bureau
of American republics will inherit the
ghostly horses with the site of the an
cient mansion remains to be seen.

w feminine visitors to the national
capital an object of pre-eminent in

Not only is the new car the first We
hicle of the kind ever maintained for
first lady of the land, but it is prac
tically the first automobile used by a
mistress of the White House, for Mrs.
Roosevelt rarely entered an, automo-
bile, being in full sympathy with her
husbands well-known prejudices on
the subject.
The automobile which has been in
stalled as Mrs. Taft's equipage of state
is distinctly the property of the new
mistress Of the presidential mansion.
President Taft has a steam automobile
of the regulation touring car type,
and another of the same description
will be added later, these two ma
chimes being purchased with the re-
cent congressional appropriation of

conveyances-that is, for the use of
