this was destroyed, and finally the
property came into the possession Of
Daniel Carroll. It was on this same
site that Mr.. Carroll built the house
afterward known as Duddington Man.
or. 1t was this house that made so
much trouble for L'Enfant when he
was laying out the city, and it re-
NAMED the home of some members of
the Carroll family until 1886, and was
one of the landmarks of New Jersey
avenue.
A little farther along New Jersey
avenue there stands row of houses
built by Thomas Low, who, having
amassed fortune in India, brought to
the new country 100000 in gold.
Washington induced him to invest
largely in the city of anticipations, and
these houses represent part of that
investment. They were originally
high-class boarding houses, and shell
tered such men as Louis Philippe,
Thomas Jefferson, Monroe and many
others Of equal distinction. 1t was in
one of them that Alexander Hamilton!
advised the drafting of the measure
to establish United States bank.
Low was said to be quaint charac-'
ter. He married Miss Custis, sister.
Mrs. George w. Parke Custis, the.
granddaughter Of Mrs Washington.
His memory was faulty, and many,
times he even forgot his own name..
On one occasion he locked his wife in!
an upper chamber of the house and
forgot that she was there, keeping
her prisoner over night. Finally she
left him and he died in comparative
poverty. The houses that he erected:
in New Jersey avenue long have been
usd for government offices.
Passing from the site of the Burns
homestead, in Seventeenth street, the
sightseer comes to the octagon house
at Eighteenth and New York avenue.
This house was built more than 100
years ago by Col. John Tayloe. His
income was princely, and he lived in,
manner BETTING one of his vast
means.
The octagon house stands to-day q;

airy. 1t was in this house that Presi-'
dent Madison and his wife lived after.

the British in 1914. In those days it's
wide halls rang to the echo of femi-
nine laughter and clinking glasses, for
It was the center Of the social gaye-'
ties of the capital.
Memories of the past still haunt the
great rooms of the house. The octa-
gon house is considered one of the
haunted houses of the district, and.
it is said by the credulous that the.
spirits of the old slaves who died in
the pens that were situated in its;
once capacious grounds still haunt the
premises, ringing bells to announce
their presence

A dispatch from Copenhagen says
that a remarkable dinner party was
given there recently, the host being
young man named Verstroet, who
was forced to leave Copenhagen ten
years ago, owing to many debts con-
tracted In consequence Of his luxuri.
ious tastes.
He was never heard from after his
departure. and it was with much sur.
prise that several tradesmen and 9th.
ers received an invitation a couple of
weeks ago to dine with their debtor
at the Hotel Imperial.
They all came at the appointed hour.
although suspicious that some one
was playing practical joke, and were
met by Verstroet himself, who greet.
ed them effusively. and apologized for
his long absence.
The company, In which almost ev.
cry branch Of trade was represented.
sat down to sumptuous dinner. The
host sat at the head of the table be.
tween two washerwomen. After din.
ner Verstroet informed the twenty.
two guests that he had inherited a
fortune, and he then paid his out.

There were 224 apothecaries in Den.

people today than fifty years ago. OF
that the apothecaries do not work SO

MANY SHEEP TO BE SHIPPED
THIS FALL.

From present indications more sheep
will be shipped this fall than for some
time past. Sheepmen are busy now
cutting out sheep from their bands
for shipment to eastern markets. One
of the considerations of the large
shipments to be made is the good pric-
es that are being offered by sheep buy
ers for the mutton. A number Of
them are in this section now inter
viewing the sheepmen and making
them offers. 1t is stated some sales
of lambs have been made at 1915 per
head. Shipments will begin early in
September, and from then on for two
months, shipments will be large and
ontinuous.-Weiser Signal.

ARLIE POND A LIEUTENANT.
Former Baltimore Pitcher Named for
Armv bv President.

Among the citizens nominated by Pres
ident Taft Monday to be first lieuten-
ants in the army was the name of DR..
E. Arlington Pond, known to base ball
fans as "Arle" Pond. one of the cham
pion Oriole pitchers in 1895, '96 and 81.
DR.. Pond is a native of Vermont and
is thirty-sx years Of age. He distinguish
ed himself at the University of Vermont,
not only in his studies, but on the college
gridiron and diamond. Manager Hanlon
singed the young college pitcher in 1895.
but he lacked control, and Mr.. Hanlon
sent the .'cub" battery, Pond and Bower
man, to Hagerstown for practice. Bow
erman in recent years became a famous
catcher and batter with the New York
Giants.
In 1896 Pond was on the Orioles reg
ular pitching staff, and was a winner.
He stayed with the team in 1897, but in
1898 he received an appointment as con-
tract surgeon in the United States Army.
While in Baltimore he had studied medi-
cine, and graduated at the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons. In February.
1899, he was sent to the Philippines, and
has been connected with the medical de-
partment Of the United States Army since
that time.
