The Old Rodgers Mansion and the Pa
nous Washington Club.
Doubtless few Of the many thousands
Of persons who have read Of Chevy
Chase have any idea OF the interesting
history attached to the clubhouse and
surrounAings. Part Of the old colonial
structure ~ 1t stands today was erect
ed in HAT and from that time until .
few years ago remained in the Rodg-
ers family. In the war Of 1872, when
the British were advancing on Wash
tngton. the army and navy records
were taken from the White House and
secreted In the cellar Of the Rodgers
mansion. whore they were kept for
several days.
The Rodgers family has been famous
In the Amesican navy. no fewer than
seven having served a. admirals. The
estate consisted Of something like 200
acres. aud rs the beautifying OF the
property was always q hobby Of its
owners 1t Is not surprising that I'M
usual taste should have been shown In
laying it out. 1t is a fact that there
are los varieties Of trees and bushes
to be found within stones throw Of
the clubhouse. Not far from the pres
ent fourth green there was once .
sunken garden. but this II scarcely
more than 4 memory now.
The Chevy Chase club took posses

property from the Rodgers estate. but
later tho club purchased 200 acres.

A Trait That Brands Them ~ IN.
sociable and Abrupt.

A Trait That Brands Them ~ Un.
soeiabis and Abrupt.
What a complicated thing is the
character Of the I.ondoner: Out OF
pure shyness he becomes disagreeably
abrupt; out OF pure fear Of intrusion he
becomes unsOciable. A number Of IN
acquainted men in the sa me tramway
car will never think Of entering into
conversation as they would anywhere
else in the world. Silently they leave
the car as they entered 1t. And yet II
does not seem natural to me that they
should not prefer to converse. But
they are afraid to intrude: besides.
they have not been introduced"
proper" introduction is one of the
characteristics Of the I.ondoner. In
Germany when a man enters a private
room containing people he does no,
know or IL be sits down at a table
outside q restaurant-in fact. when
ever be comes into touch with a stran
ger-he will make his bow and an
nounce his name. He will introduce
himself. Then both will chat like old
acquaintances. But il Is ten to one
that neither Of them caught the mum
bled name Of the other. nor did they
care. To both Of them their meeting
has been an episode to be forgotten the
very next second. And it not infre
quentiy happens that a man will turn
to some friend. asking: did you see
me talk to that man? Who is be? He
mentioned his name. but did not
quite catch It."
Now. in England to walk into a room
where there is a private gathering and
to go around from one to another intro
ducing yourself would. as l see. be
called bad manners. The Englishman
wants to be introduced by third per
son. and It seems that the third person
will introduce the other two only II he
thinks they would actually like to
know each other. Then. however. the
name is not only mumbled or men
toned. but grappled with. The two
men at once impress that name upon
their minds. associate the person With
the name and forget neither the one
nor the other. An Introduction in Lon
don does not seem an episode 10 me to
be over and done with the next second
but always the beginning OF an actual
friendship And where friendship is
not likely to easue an introduction Is
left aside.-London Mail.

Meredith as Publishers Reader.
George Meredith was reader for
many years for Chapman & Hall. To
say he was di0cult to please is to
understate the fact. His standard was
tremendously high, and from that pin
nacle his Judgment was right and
sound. But some doubt may be ex-
pressed as to whether that standard
was the right one from which to Judge
a book for commercial purposes. Thus
East Lynne" was in 1861 judged by
Meredith in these words: Opinion en-
phatically against it." Decline" wrote
Meredith of a novel by Ouida, entitled
"Villers." and of story by Mrs. Lynn
Linton. ''Isola,'' VERY sour in tenden-
cy. hard in STYLE" he observed Of an
other novel which Mrs. Lynn Linton
submitted to Chapman & Hall years
later Speaking of Nine. Sarah Grand's
novel. 'The Heavenly Twins" he said,
1.-THE author Is a clever woman and
has ideas, for which reason she is
hampered at present in the effort to be
a novelist" He went on: THE writer
should be advised to put this manu-
script aside until she has got the art
OF driving story. ST. has ability
enough. and I glimpse u humor here

ture."-Fortnightly Review.

TO EXHIBIT FREAK
ght-Iegged Hog Will Be a
Feature of the Local
Fall Festival.
WAYNE COUNTY PRODUCT

An eight-legged pig, belonging to a
farmer, living two miles northwest OF
Fountain City, will be on exhibit at
the Fall Festival, October CTS. Ar
rangements for its display were made
by Samuel Dunlap, chairman of the
committee on hogs. The animal is one
of the most peculiar freaks ever CON.
ing to public attention IN this county.
This porker has two legs where ordi-
nary pigs have one. 1t is a product of
this year and is very healthy.
Mr.. Dunlap, will, il possible, pur-
chase the pig, in order that a new
breed may be established, the princi-
pal value of which will be their feet,

1.-THE Right Of Way"
At the Gennett 'The Right of Way"
an adaptation by Eugene Presbrey
from Sir Gilbert Parker's novel of
the saem name will be presented. It
Is understood that Mr.. Presbrey has
departed rather widely from the lines
Of the original story, especially in re-
gard to its final development, but
that is q matter of very little conse-
quence.
Everybody knows that Their must of
necessity be an essential imposition
in any pretense that play Is fairly
of the book from which
it processes to be taken. The better
the original story the less satisfac-
tory as an epitome of 1t is the drama
tic version likely to be. In all cases
of this kind the important question is
not how much of the parent novel has
the adapter been able to preserve, but
what sort of play has he been able
to construct out of his selected frag-
ments.
Evidently there is a considerable
amount of good melodramatic material

Portland, Ore, Sept. 12-From a

Harriman's Wealth Is Esti-
mated by Widow at
That Figure.
ASKS AN ADVERTISEMENT
SHE IS ANXIOUS TO HAVE THE
ESTATE SETTLED UP As RAPID.
LY AS POSSIBLE TO DODGE THE
INCOME TAX.

Newburgh, N. Y, Sept. 1S-The es-
tate of Edward H. Hartman, whose
will was filed at Goshen, will be set
tied within thirty days. according to
Mrs. Harriman's plans. Friends OF
Mrs. Hartman at Arden said today
that she would make application next
week through her attorney for hear
ing before the local transfer tax ap-
praiser at once. 1t will be the duty
of the appraiser to Jake affidavits
showing the amour. Of property.
stocks, bonds, ETC., held by the maker
of the will.
Mrs. Hartman has intimated to her
friends that the estate will probably
value about SGT 1000. 900. OF this total
the state receives 1 per cent, which
will make the inheritance tax reach
nearly 100000.
Immediate Hearing Sought.
Mrs. Hartman will make the re-
quest for an immediate hearing upon
the advice OF Judge Lovett, whom she
retains as personal counsel and ad-

able to save per cent of the inheri-
lance tax, which will amount to
$35, 900.
Mrs Hartman will have eighteen
months in which to pay the inheri-
lance tax, but should 1t not be paid
in that period penalty Of 10 per cent
interest from the date of Mr.. Harri-
mans death would be added to the
tax. Because Of the large saving that
will come by paying the tax within
six months it is expected that Mrs.
Harriman's lawyers will expedite the
appraisal of the estate in every posi-
BILE way.
Must Furnish Appraiser.
The lawyers for the s1tete will be
compelled to furnish the appraiser
with a sworn schedule OF the assets
OF the estate and also of the debts.
Should any dispute arise between
the appraiser and Mrs. Hartman or
her representative as to the value of
any parcel of real estate, such as the
25,000acre estate at Arden, disinter-
ested real estate experts would be
called in to decide what is fair. In
the matter of estimating the value of
securities there is little chance for dis
agreement.
