Historic House.

| A great deal of interest centers just
now around what is called the Dolly
| Madison house." which is one of the
historic spots in Washington. This house
stands at the corner of Fl street and
Madison Place, near the Belasco Thea
ter, which is built on the ground where
Secretary Seward lived during the war,
and where he came near receiving his
mortal wound on the night that Lincoln
was assassinated
1t was in this quaint old house that
Dolly Madison the widow Of the fourth
President, lived and held court for a
number of years as the social queen Of
the National Capital 1t is said that her
home was a fair rival for the White
House, for she was extremely popular
always agreeable, and was liked by the
young as well as the old.
The house was built in 1926 by Rich
ard Cults, Mrs. Madison's brother-in-
law. 1t came into the former Presi-
dents hands the year before his death,
and he in turn bequeathed it to his
widow, Dolly. Because of lack of money
Mrs. Madison found 1t too expensive to
live in. and rented it successfully to
Representative VIM. c. Preston, of
South Carolina. and Representative Jas.
H. Roosevelt of New York. During that
time Mrs. Madison lived quietly at her
country estate in Virginia.
In 1887 Congress appropriated $780,
900 with which it purchased Madison's
diary. and with this money Mrs. Madi-
son was enabled to take up her resi-
dence in her city home. Washington
was always attractive to her, and she
was glad to get back. Her return was a
renewal in private life of all her social
triumphs. Her parlors were always
thronged, and she entertained practi
ca1ly up to the time of her death in
1S49.
After her death the home was sold
to Admiral Wilkes, who occupied the
house until the civil war. During the
second year of the war Gen. Mcclellan
used the house as his headquarters. and
its parlors then were the scenes of great
military and naval social functions.
1t was some years later purchased by
the Cosmos Club which institution re-
modelled its interior and has since added
to it, but the exterior of the famous old
mansion is to-day practically the same
as it was during those days when Dolly
Madison was looked upon as the Amer
lean Queen"

Justice Moody to Retire.

Associate Justice VIM. H. Moody, OF
the United States Supreme Court, will
be forced to retire on account of i'll
health. He has been away from his
duties in the Supreme Court for over a
year. The trouble is an inflammatory
rheumatic condition OF the system
which the distinguished jurist seems
unable to throw off, and II is thought
that 1t may be year or two before he
would be able to resume his work upon
the bench. Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, close personal friend of Mr..
Justice Moody, has introduced a bill
extending the statute relating to retire
ment from the Supreme Court to cover
the case OF Mr.. Moody, who Is far too
young to retire from the bench and
retain any portion of his salary The
Dill as presented will give him his full
salary as Associate Justice while he
lives. Any Justice Of the Supreme
Court must serve 10 years before he
can retire on full pay. There never
was but one exception made to this
rule. and that was when President
Grant succeeded in having bill passed

A Baseball Fan.

Vice President Sherman car hold up
all the dignity Of his office and then
some. But, just the same, he is a
baseball fan from away back. The 9TH
er day Ty Cobb. Detroit's famous right
fielder, entered the Vice Presidents 8
room with Secretary Bennett. Mr.. Ben
nett stopped with the baseball player a
few feet from the Vice President, and
started to introduce him to some
friends The Vice President overheard
the introduction, and, breaking off his
conversation with the Senators, turned
quickly and hurried toward Mr.. Ben
nett
whats that?" asked Vice President
Sherman. Did 1 hear you say Ty
Cobb? don't want to miss anything
like this"
Secretary Bennett introduced the
baseball player, and Ty complimented
the Vice President on his good taste in
being such an enthusiastic baseball
rooter.
ct am going out to the game this
afternoon" said the Vice President,
and I want to see you knock the ball
out of the lott
You look much bigger in uniform
than you do now" added Mr.. Sherman,
edging off and sizing up Ty from his
heels to his head.
By this time Senators Clay, Bacon,
Purcell and others had begun to Won
der who the bronZed individual was
that the Vice President was so interest
ed in. They soon found out, and shook
Ty's hand. The Detroit player had
luncheon in the Senate restaurant, and
was the center of attraction.

How to Live Cheapiy.

One day last week about 100 New
York and Philadelphia boys from the
Wanamaker Commercial Institute were
presented to Speaker Cannon in his pri-
vate room at the Capitol, and the
Speaker in his little talk to those kids
told them some things that made them
open their eyes, and there isn't bit of
doubt in the world that what Speaker
Cannon said VIII make a whole lot of
people open their eyes:
Il had to endure the grind when
was a boy, back on the Wabash" said
Mr.. Cannon, Just as you boys have to
do 1t to-day, but l learned then to live
within my income. and / have kept up
that practice ever since. If you keep
within your incomes now you will be
able to do it when you are a man, and
thus you can save little for rainy
day"
The Speaker then told an interesting
story about his own daily routine. How.
when his daughter was away and the
house was closed, he got his breakfast
at little restaurant across from the
Treasury. He added: give cents for
a cup Of coffee, five cents more for an
egg sandwich. good coffee and good.
clean egg. and as wholesome a roll as
you could get anywhere; that makes a
cost OF 10 cents, but sometimes if 1
want little more l buy an orange, and
that adds five cents more to the break
fast cost. Now. / am not too proud to
get that kind of breakfast, and I feel
better for 1t. and more able to do the
hard days work that 1 still have to do
than if 1 had dined at the SWEETEST ho-
tel in the world"
How many Government clerks who
are earning salary of 5000 year are
willing to live as plainly as Uncle Joe
does? You will find more of them
spending so cents for breakfast, rs
cents for lunch and 81 for dinner than
you will find living on so cents day,
as Uncle Joe" said he did for many
years.

What is the matter with Reid? From
abroad there comes the semi official re-
port that the days of ambassador Reid
are numbered. because King George is
not fond of him. 1t Is not that King
George objects to the man. it is said,
but that King George does not like
Americans. and has a particular stig-
matte bias against richi Americans. 1t
is said that while the new King and
ambassador Reid are on cordial enough
terms, that at the court functions dur
ing the life of King Edward, where the
ambassador was always a thrice wei
come guest, he was never found in the
circles which surrounded the then
Prince of Wales. King George has
practically announced that the Court of
st. James is not to be- used as clearing
house for the social ambitions Of rich
foreigners, and he Is said to have even
demonstrated with his father for the
way that these presentations were en-
gineered. King George is already elm
mating all foreigners from his entOur-
age He Is to retain sonly those who
have married into the British nobility
and this rule also will be followed by
the Queen. "a
As result of the new Kings wishes

essary to bring to the Presidents atten-
ton the imperative need of a change
before the close of the first period of

said that the reason President Taft has
so long delayed making a change is his
desire to wait until after the elections,
