Alcott House In Ruins.

t rom the Boston Herald.
The best beloved house in Amer
lea to every girl and to some boys
is falling to ruins.
If the shades of Meg, 10, Beth
and Amy, in their best pOplins,
and with clean pocket "hankies"
should stray back to the quiet,
shady town Of Concord where they
spent their girlhOOd, they would
see not so many changes as al
most half hundred years might
be expected to make. The old
elms have grown statelier, and
the place has changed from real
country to cOuntrytOwn. The ell
ectric cars have come within a
half a mile of their old home but
! the old street on which they lived
shows little changes.
ALAS, poor ghosts, " who loved
to quote from Shakespeare and
imperSOnate Hamlet. There at
their own gateway they would no
tice the greatest change OF all.
The old brown house, set far back
in a tangle of weeds and neglect
ed shrubbery, is flecked with the
shadows from noble but untrim-
med hemlOckS, whose close locked
hOughs admit hardly ray of sun
light. DildOckS and plantainS
grow in great clumps on the front
lawn; weeds fill the driveways.
The gate says on its hinges and
the windows of the attic where
Meg aand 10 dramatized Dickens
novels in the days when Dickens
was in his prime is now barred
with unsightly wooden Stats such
as no selfrespeeting house would
endure.

even now spend most of their
time playing in the attic with the
adorable Laurie, that essence Of

49, AAA---OA V~-3Ne
The funeral Of Will Miller was
held at the M. E.. church Sunday
afternoon, with the members of
the Modern WOOdmen lodge in
charge of the services. Rev Cock.
erdl preached the funeral sermon,
and interment was made in the
sWoOdlawn cemetery. SO far the
man Logan, who is in the Hutch
mson Jail on the charge of muir
der has made no confession, and
claims to know nothing at al of
the murder, other than what he
has heard since his arrest. His
story of how he came into posses
J sion of the horses and outfit is
, that as he was walking along the
road towards town south of the
Miller place he heard a wagon
coming towards him and that he
stepped out into the road as it
came up. That he was carrying
a shot gun with him, which he
had brought from Colorado with
him, and that when the party m
the wagon, which was two men,
saw him, they stopped the horses,
Jumped out of the wagon and ran
away. That he waited for some
time for the men to come back,
and that when they did not re-
turn he made up his mind that
they had stolen the property. He
at first thought he would bring
a., the, outfit back to town and per-
h&pS find the owner, but he was
afraid that he would be taken for
the thief anyway, so made up
his mind that he might as well
take them along with him and
try and dispose of them. He ex-
plains the presence of the blood
on his clothes by saying that he
had killed rabbit the evening
before and had gotten the blood
that way. However, the circum-
Stantial evidence is so strong that
there is little doubt but that he
IS the guilty man. He expresses
great fear at being brought back
here for trial, as he is afraid Of
figuring too cOnspicuOusly in a
lynching party. His home is evil
identity in Ottawa, Kansas, for
letters have been received from
that place which would indicate
that he has a wife and family at
that place. Culver, or Logan, as
appears to be his right name, Is
not the ignorant fellow he APP
.peared to be when first arrested,
but is evidently rather sharp
fellow, and is determined to give
the officers all the trouble he
possibly can. There are still some
who think there are Others impll-
Gated in the affair but the Off
GERS think that Culver was alone
in the deal. There was some very
strong circumstantial evidence
against the man, Jantz, and wife
who were arrested the morning
after the murder, but the officers
decided that it was not enough
to hold them on, 50 they were re-
leased.

hoping some day to meet; in the
kitchen, watching 10 burn the
toast; in the parlOr, listening to
Beth magically bring melody out
CT the old piano. or in the or
chard, with Amy, riding Ellen
Tree, would be dismayed at the
unhOmelike aspect of the little
house which has been a second
home to half the girls inthe world
The house is locked but by MAX
inc ones way through the tangle
and avoiding the threatening
branches Of the lOw-hanging hem
locks, one can see into the hope
leSSly bare rooms Of the old
house. Not much to see, after
all; hardly worth the short walk
from the shabby old front gate.
Unsightly, uneven boards for the
floor, tattered scraps of wall pa
per hanging on the walls, all the
ceilings cracked and ready to
fall, reward the pilgrimage of
those who in imagination spent
many hours of their childhood in
Or somewhere about this fOrlOrn
old house.
Pictures of the old house used
to be printed, and probably still
are, in the frOntispiece of every
copy of Little Women. Two
stories and a hOSpitable garnet sci
in the attic over the front door,
gives all the description needed O
the architecture. Somehow the
picture of that simple, plain house
used to make the scene of all
the little comedies and tragedies
Of those four remarkable March
girls very vivid to the childish
readers of the neverOld tale. 1t
was the conclusive and definite
proof that, after all, the story wa
true, and not made up out of the
authors head. There was the
house, and there must have been
the good people and the good
times which sounded until one
looked at the photograph, almost
too good to be true. Children who
still want to keep the image I'M
disturbed of all the fun that went
on in those modest four brown
walks had better never make a
pilgrimage to Concord.
Dismantled houses, inhabited
only by memories, are always pa
thetic. 1t is a truism to say so.
But house, literally falling to
decay, which was the snug re-
treat of all the girls In America
and half of those in Europe for
the last three decades is too sad
altogether to contemplate. Let it

of other child-hOuseS where child

Aladdin took his bride. In the
realms of imagination, at least,
its doors will never sag nor its
timberS ret.
Concord has plenty of land
marks without this, which, any
way, only children Of some thirty

The Millers have been putting
up a mighty good brand of ball
playing the past week, but have
also been playing in mighty bad
luck. rs evidenced by the fact
ihat the team has fallen back to
fifth place in the race.
Last Thursday we lost slow
/ game to Hutchinson to the tune
l6tO0. Saturday they came home
TO open a series with Wellington,
breaking even on the series, al
though they had to play against
the umpire, Farrell by name, who
may know how to umpire ball
game but who does not show any
IF his knowledge in the game.
Saturdays game went to the
visitors 6 to ), with the kind as
,:Stance of Mr.. Farrell.
Sundays game was one Of tie
hest exhibitions of the national
game seen here in a long time,
the game going fifteen innings,
and Wellington annexing the
long end of a. 2 to 0 score. Ku-
hagen and Fentres were the OPP
posing pitchers and both pitched
gilt edge ball. Kuhagen allow
ing but five hits, one of them Of
the scratch variety, and not walk
ing a man. FentresS, while al
lowing but three hits, walked
seven men.
On Monday the boys put up an
other fine game, winning by a
l to 0 score. Gross, formerly one
of the Millers, was on the mound
for Wellington and pitched a fine
game, although he was rather wilc
at times. Maple did the twirling
for the home team and was also In
good form. Each pitcher allow
ing but five hits.
Tuesday the MillerS rOmped off
with the game 5 to l. Wellington
not being dangerous at any stage
of the game. LurzOn was on the
slab for the home team and threw
a good game.
On Wednesday the, Newton boys
opened four game series here,
taking the first game by a score
Of 3 to l In a twelve inning con-
test. Neither team scored until
the fifth, when the visitors man
aged to squeeze a run over. which
looked good enough to win the
game until Falkenburg lined one
over center field fence for four
bases in the last half Of the ninth.
NJ ither side scored in the tenth
Or eleventh. but in the twelfth a
walk, a two base hit and a single
gave the visitors two scores and
IL game, as the home team was
not able to connect in their half.
haiserling, who started the game
fOrthe Millers was injured in the
sixth inning by being hit on the
hand by a pitched ball while at
the bat, and Kuhagen went in to
AXE his place.
Harrison, the catcher who was
tarmed out to Lyons, is again
with the home team, and Berry
who had his hand injured several
days ago has been released.
Saturdays game will be the last
at home for eight more days. Go
out and help ginger the boys up
a little. While they can't always
win theyare putting up some fast
games, and your attendance and
