Washington Is going to have a sub
way, too. 1t will not be so much for
folks as for traffic, and the traffic will
be for the members of Congress. There
is slready a subway connecting the
Capitol and the new Office buildings of
the Senate and House, but now it is
suggested that a subway connect the
Capitol with the Government Printing
Office. the Union Station, the new Post
Office and other Government buildings
1t is estimated that these subways will
cost about 100000.

There died in Washington the other
day a Miss Elizabeth Du Fief aged SO,
who had had an eventful career, or,
rather, she lived in an eventful period,
but she herself lived above the storm
clouds. She lived in the house in which
she was born and died peacefully there.
A year ago the site was selected for a
school house, and the Government tried
to buy the land at fabulous sum, but
the old lady said she would not sell.
Then the land was condemned, and
she was given $4,000 for the site, but
She would not move, and they could
not pull the house down with her in it.
She said she wanted 10 see the flowers
bloom in the old-fashioned garden once
more. and they let her remain, but the
flowers are not blooming yet, and She
IS gone. The house and grounds, quaint,
low, rambling buildings with tangle
of an old garden with lilacs, syringas,
thoneysuckles, wistaria and all the old
fashioned vines, stand at least Is feet
above the grade of the asphalted street.
The street was graded 20 years or more
ago and asphaited, but the old house,
ttoppDng on top of the mound. has stood
tfll now. 1t will be torn down soon

married and didn't live happily, so she
went back to her old home and took
her maiden name. Altho she was in

Down in Mississippi they have been
planning to give a silver service to the
big warship of that name when it is
completed. The original idea and plans
were to place the face of De Soto on
this silver with an appropriate inscrip-
ton. Since President Roosevelt or
dered the name of Jeff Davis restored
to Cabin John Bridge, where it had no
right to be in the first place. Mississippi
has grown bold, and now will place
the likeness of the eX-President of the
defunct Confederacy on each piece of
that silver. which is to cost some $25,-
900. it is said. The Navy Department
has not said, however. that it would
accept the silver If marked in that
manner. There are some folks now liv-
ing who n-"~'s ~'egiance to the Con-

In high esteem. and who say that to
place his face on the silver is only
equaled by the desire of the Georgia
