Although Washington il famed the
country over for the many handsome
mansions which are scattered along It's
principal boulevards and avenues, the city
Is rapidly attaining a still wider promi-
nence in this respect because of the nu-
merous enterprises of magnitude which
are in progress In the present season.
One of the most pretentious in the list OF
new homes Is that which is now nearing
completion on Kalorama road near the
south end OF the Connecticut avenue
bridge for William w. Lawrence. vice
president of the National Lead Company
and one of the leaders in the New York
metal market
Nothing of the type OF the Lawrence
residence has ever been attempted in
Washington before, and it may be SAID
that 1t marks new era In nome puiiu-
Ing In the National Capital. Everything
that money can buy to add to the luxury
of living Is being included within its four
walls. Work on this new structure was
begun early In February of this year
and it il now under roof. The builders,
William p. Lipscomb & Co.. expect to
December 1, and Mr.. Lawrence, who is
to be married shortly, will bring his bride
to 1t at that time.
Site an Ideal One.
The site chosen by Mr.. Lawrence for
his home Is an ideal one. Although In
the city and within easy reach OF all OF
the conveniences and attractions of city
life, 1t Is yet so completely isolated that
II gives to its owners all of the best ad-
vantages OF life on the edge Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Lawrence purchased a total OF
nine tots on Kalorama road. his property
terminating on the corner Of I'D street.
It has frontage on Kalorama road of
about three hundred feet and In the rear
1t drops down sharply into the valley of
Rock Creek. 1t Is surrounded by min
iature woods Of closely growing oak and
matured that II will be easily possible for
the landscape gardener to thin out the
trees and thus give the Lawrences a
beautifully shaded park. The plans for

WHERE SPEED Is NO OBJECT.
Great Wooden Sailing Vessels That
Garry Tobacco to Europe.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
At the Stuyvesant docks for several
months past four ships have been moored
broadside to the wharf. The ships come
to the Stuyvesant docks, broad-winged,
silent. settling to their places like homing
pigeons. and, having settled, they stay
there. sometimes for three or four
months.
They have been doing the same thing
year after year for many long years. Per-
haps their annual flight dates back to the
days when Louisiana was young and was
bounded on the north and west by 1.-The
unknown lands" At any rate, the cap
tain of any one of them will assure you
these ships or others of like kind will
always and forever be used in this par
ticular line of trade.
What cargo do they take at the port of
New Orleans? Tobacco. Nothing but to-
bacco! In what trade are they engaged
when they have taken their cargo home?
What far ports do they seek?
Why, they go back to Bremen and de-
liver their cargoes and then they tie up
and don't do blessed thing all the rest
Of the year.
All through the long wharves are scat
tered immense hogshsads roughly bound
In so that the golden brown Of the tobac-
CO shows through the cracks between the
slaves The smell of the tobacco Is every

breeze. Once in a while, but not In too

WaKeeney. Kan, March 21.-Trego

from a prairie county to garden 50
far as growing crops and filling up with
farmers are concerned The last few
years will bear out the evidence that
Trego county is seeing more general
prosperity at this time than ever be-
fore. Many of her earliest settlers had
a stormy time to get a livelihood, and
as one of the farmers said: 81 had to
pick up buffalo bones and hauled them
40 miles to the nearest market for 81
a load. the proceeds from which en-
keep from starving" Today this man
owns a we'll improved farm and is
raising corn and wheat, selling the
corn for so cents a bCshel and his
wheat for 95 cents and 81 per bushel.
Hundreds of farmers of Trego county
can say as much, and scores of them
are living on Easy street, in comfort
able homes, and own roomy barns and
are enjoying many luxuries of life. 1t
has taken years of grit to make this
transformation In one day no less
than nine car. oads of immigrant goods
were unloaded at tn depot in Wa
corners who had come from the east
and purchased Trego county farms.
And it is said that from January L

Mr.. Burns points to the sale of $40

years ago the owner paid $12.5O an
acre for it. In June, 1909, it was sold
for $27.50 an acre, ard a few weeks
ago it was again sold for $41.50 an
acre. Another instance of the way the
farmers of Trego county are getting
rich is the fact that quarter section
Mr.. Burns handled was sold in 1903
for $2,S00. On this farm there were
40 acres of corn of which one-fourth
of the crop brought $165.50. Other
instances of the productiveness OF Ire

PREPARING FOR HANGING.
NIackey Has No Reason to Believe
That Reprieve Will Be Granted.

Leavenworth. Kan, March I'll
United States Marshal w. H. Mackey,
jr. is over from Topeka making pre-
liminary arrangements for the execu-
ton of Private Charles O'Neil of the
regular army, for the murder of his
sweetheart. Minnie Sharobeno, on the
fort reservation last July.
Marshal Mackey stated that he had
no reason to believe that President
Taft would commute the sentence Ito
life Imprisonment and was making all
preparations Tor the hanging. He has
received bids for the construction of
the gallows, which is to be erected
in the yard of the Leavenworth county
Jail. Mackey stated that if the hang
ing was to take place that he would
not shirk his duty.
In the meantime Private O'Neil is
awaiting the day set for the execution,
March 90, with a compoSure almost
stoical, declaring that he committed
the murder in fit of rage and that he
is ready to pay the penalty for his
crime. He devotes his time to playing
cards with this other prisoners, read
ing and in writing letters. Since his
arrest he has not had a letter. or heard
from his father. although other rcia-
tives have written him. His former
home was at Tyro, Illinois.
