HOMES OF FAMOUS MEN.

Memories Of the Great.

Many famous homes abound in the
vicinity of Lafayette square, Washing.
ton. There in stately majesty, dwelt
Commodore Decatur, who erected the
first house on the square. There also,
in turn, dwelt Henry Clay, Martin
Van Buren,, Edward Livingston and
others of prominence.
AS neighbors there were Mrs. Mad
ison, the widow of the president; At
torney General Crittenden, the Roose
velts and w. w. Corcoran. 1t was there
also that the life tragedy Of Secretary
Of State William II. Seward was en-
acted. Later there came into the
neighborhood such illustrious men as
Charles Sumner, Roscoe Conklng
John A. Logan and John B. Floyd
The last home of Daniel Webster in
Washington was in Louisiana avenue
between Fifth and Sixth streets. 1t
was there that the friends of the dis
tinguished julist and statesman con
gregated and where many matters i'm
portant in the development of the ma
ton were decided. After Webster's
death the building became known as
the Webster law building.
Among the earlier houses erected
in the district was the row on the
north side of Pennsylvania avenu2
between Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets, known as the "Seven Build
ings." The house on the corner of
Nineteenth street and the avenue was
occupied by Fldridge Gerry while h

and subsequent to their leaving the
Octagon house, the property sheltered
President and Mrs. Monroe, and there
they remained until the executive
mansion had been rebuilt.
In 1874, President Martin Van
Buren, lived in the house, which, to-
day, appears much as it did at the
time when the West end was a
swamp: when horses and pedestrians
were stalled in the mire of Pennsyl
vania avenue; when frogs held nightly
carnivals and owls kept faithful vigil

the SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

It is easy to talk about the simple
life and SO hard to live it, for life is
mot simple any more. Its compiled
lions seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies in ourselves; the
entire trend of womanly sentiment is
away from the things the centuries
held dear
1t was not so hard to keep life sim
pie when ones best black silk did
duty for decade. Nowadays if the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
of the garment would mean the patch
box in at least two seasons.
| 1t is the craze for something new
that is the uNdoing of simplicity
Novelty is the keynote of most of our
lives. Even friendships and matri
mony are getting infected with this
microbe of rcstlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby

His First Experience with Euonouq.

remember, writes a Washington
correspondent, time some years ago
when newspaper man fresh from
New England was induced to enter a
rumorium for the purpose of being in
itiated into the mysteries of eggnogg,
which delectable beverage had never
previously rolled over his tongue.
He partook and partook and kept
partooking, being delighted beyond
measure with the smooth taste of the
stuff, and evidently considering it
harmless until suddenly it came over
him, as he leaned against the wall
in the last place of refreshment and
tried to count one little elusive light,
that he was the proud possessor of a
comprehensive and ornate souse.
He was puzzled and became grave
at once.
Gosh" he said at length, his brow
furrowed with the intense mental ef-
fort required for consecutive thought,

ate"

WOULD KEEP SENIOR QUESADA.
Cuban Minister Popular with the Al.
thortes at Washington.

While there can be no expression on
the part of any official of this govern
ment, there is a very strong feeling in
all circles in Washington that the re-
ported intention of the new Cuban
government forming to transfer Mr.
Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban min
lister, to France and Spain, and substi-
tute some one else for him, will not be
carried out. It is no eXaggeration to
say that members of the American
congress, including some of the most
prominent leaders, say that instead Of
Mr.. Quesada's usefulness here being
at an end, it is at it's height. He has
been in Washington many years, hav-
ing in the first place been member
of the famous Cuban junta which did
SO much for the independence of Cuba
under the most trying circumstances,
and at time when the influence Of
the Spanish legation here was para
mount in the counsels of the senate.
He has served his country as min
lister from the formation of the first
government of the Republic Of Cuba,
and he has done so with much ac-
ceptability. He has been very close
in his relations to President Roosevelt,
and will be in a similar position with
reference to the Taft administration,
should he remain.
Senator Aldrich, recently at the
White House offices, meeting Mr.. Que
sada, expressed the hope that he
would not be succeeded by another,
adding: "You can get anything for
your government you ask for from
the congress of the United States"

MAKING HONEY IN NEVADA
Tyler Brothers of Lovelock Ship Twenty
Tons to Texas


Lovelock Tribune: Tyler Brothers
this week shipped car of 20 tons OF
Lovelock honey to Dallas. Texas. This
honey will bring about $4,000. Honey
raising in the Lovelock valley has not
been mentioned very much. nevertheless
it is one of our most profitable ind dustries.
In some years hundreds of tons of honey
have been shipped. The amount pro-
duced this year will not be as extensive
as in former years. for the reason that
there are fewer hives working.
The Tyler Brothers are the principal
honey producers Of the Lovelock valley.
although there are many hives owned by
the various valley ranchers.
The Lovelock valley is particularly
adapted for honey raising. The alfalfa
fields in bloom offer an unexcelled field
for the bees. and the honey from this
source is the puress and sweetest that
can be found anywhere.

Col. Cooke Thinks McLendOn Will Be
Reinstated aud Then Topped Off.

Col. Perry Cooke, who was in At
lanta last week mingling with the
statesmen and politicians, returned
home Sunday.
He reports that the firing" of
Chairman Guyton McLendon of the
railroad commission by Ex-Governor
Hoke Smith was the biggest politi-
cal sensation that had occurred in
many days, and everything and
everybody were at a high tension.
1t was looked upon as a row in their
own political camp, and the bad
feeling was between the friends of
Smith and McLendon, the friends of
Governor Brown taking no part and
being Indifferent except the interest
felt in seeing the scrap.
1t is the opinion of Colonel Cooke
that the deposed commissioner will
both win and lose. He looks for
him to be reinstated by the legisla-
ture, but thinks that later the COM
mission will be reduced from 8 to
members, and that McLendon will
be one of those upon whom the axe
will fall

Bell was convicted at the recent
session of the superior court, and
sentenced to be hanged on Friday
of this week, July End. He killed
a negro named Will Jackson at a

The news of the condemned mans
respite came as a surprise to his
attorneys, Messrs. w. H. Gurr and

request for respite. They have a
motion pending before Judge Worrill
for new trial for Bell, and if this
is overruled it is their intention to
appeal to the supreme court.

BIG DECREASE EXPECTED.
~ity Tax Assessments May Be 5000.
600 Less Than Last Year.

900 Less Than Last Year,
The board of city tax assessors ex-
9ect to complete their work TODAY
While no figures have been footed
up it is agreed by the assessors
that the total will be considerably
less than it was last year-anywhere
Trom 100000 to 100000.
There are several reasons for this.
one of which is that in order to
equallze property some assessments
nave been reduced. They have also
tailed to list assessments that have
heretofore been made of property
that did not exist, or could not be
found-at least on which no taxes
were collected. Another loss is that
the capital stock of some of the
corporations has been reduced.
The assessors, Messrs. J. w. F.
Lowrey, w. H. Davis and L. c. Hoyl,
have been very painstaking and con-
scientious in their work, and the tax
able property of the city is perhaps
better equalized than ever before.
Property has been assessed at about
GO per cent of its value.
AS the assessors will not be in
session after today it is important
that all who have not done so call
and make their returns. The prop
erty of those who fail to do so will
be assessed by the board.
