Social Calls from The City.

chases Pencil Homestead.

Boston, Feb. IA large farm house
in Brunswick, Me, known as the Pen
neil homestead, is to be the future
home of Miss Helen Keller, the famous
deaf and dumb and blind young wo-
man. Miss Keller. who for some time
past has lived at Wrentham, Mass,
with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Macy, has,
jointly with Mr.. and Mrs. Macy. pur-
chased the estate at Brunswick and
the three will move there in May next.
They have not yet fully decided wheth-
er to make the place an all-the-year
residence. but are inclined to do so.
Miss Keller states that she has found
that she needs to be farther away from
the city in order that her work for the
blind may not be interrupted by so
many social engagements. Mrs. Macy,
then Miss Sullivan. was Miss Keller's
teacher for many years.

New York, Feb 1.-The American
Line steamship st. Louis. which lost
the two lower sections of her rudder
In the heavy seas 1900 miles from Sandy
Hook, reached her dock late today,
about "a hours behind her schedule.
She steamed in by her twin screws at
reduced speed and two tugs acted as
ruc!ders for her coming up the bay.
There was no excitement among the
passengers after the accident. They
were kept in ignorance of the mislap
until Friday when bulletin was post

of the ships SLOW progress. Capt. John

when they noticed something had gone

usually heavy sea had been running
for hours and the big ships rudder was
often out of water as she dipped and
tossed.

Gradually thrusting itself into meri

Washington more forciby than ever

radiance from the dome OF the Capitol
ana from the peak of the Washington
monument, illuminated cascades, and
a ball of surprising briliance abounds
everywhere in Washington as the de-
tails of the coming event are liked
upon.
A day or two ago the mighty com

little room on the ground floor of the
Capitol, Senator Knox. prospective
secretary of state is its chairman
They discussed the inaugural plans at
the Capitol, which really is the only
official part of the inaugural. The
Senate provides with special pains for
that ceremony, not the least important
task in that connection being the enor-
NOUS platform. covering two or three
acres on the east front. Very soon
now the sound of hammer and saw
vii! make a din in that vicinity, but it
will be carefully restricted to hours
not in conflict with deliberations of the
Senate and the House. Mere carpcn-
tering can not be allowed to disturb
the solon. ut their labors.
Platoons of visitors are coming to
town daily and going up and down the
lines of hotels and boarding houses of
the most centrally located thorough
fares. They want quarters for Gov
errors and high proved delegations,
for civic organizations and for march,
ing clubs. The applications for a
place in the parade arc pouring in.
National Guardsmen will be in town in
force. a little city of houses alone will
be needed to give them sleeping room
and sustenance. Tons of extra pro-
visions must be lai,l in store. The
restaurants and other establishments
that provide refreshments for the inner
man are putting in big orders early. al
though it ought to be said that there is
no danger of Il famine. even though the
inaugural visitors should be twice as
many as all the Indications promise.
Somebody got an impression that
President-eIcct Taft did not want a
great. spectacular inaugural. That
seemed to forecast efforts toward a
"simple ceremony" The old "simple
ceremony" suggestion comes to the
trent every four years. In the earlier
times it was much coupled with allu-
sions to Jefferson's simple inaugural
and the now exploded story that he
rode To- the Capitol alone on horseback,
hltched his horse to an adjacent post
