THE OLD VAN NESS MANSION
Site of This Once Historic Structure
Now Occupied by Home of Bu-
reau of American Republics.

The Bureau of American Republics
is an institution supported by Fl re-
pCblics of the Americas for the pro-
motion of commerce and trade and
for the cultivation of peace and
friendship. 1t occupies white marble
lery on the grounds of the old Van
Ness place For this building An
drew Carnegie contributed $750,000.
For long time the Van Ness man
sion was one of the historic buildings
of the city. 1t was built by Latrobe,
one of the architects Of the capital,
for Gen. John P. Van Ness, who mar
ried Marcia Burns, daughter of Davie
Burns, one of the original landhold-
ers of the city. Crusty Davie Burns"
lived in a rude cottage near the river,
and. cultivated a largo plantation ex-
tending over the spot where the White
House now stands. The demand for
his land made him wealthy, and his
only child, Marcia, was known as the
beautiful heiress of Washington. For
projected transfer of land to the gov
eminent, and the president and COM
missioners had several conferences
with him. On one of these occasions
the choleric Scotchman answered
one of Washington's arguments by
this outburst: Il suppose, Mr.. Wash
ington, you think people are going to
take every grist finn you as pure
grain; but what would you have beer
if you hadn't married the rich Widow
Custis?"
General Van Ness, well-born New
Yorker, was one Of many suitors fol
the hand of Marcia Burns. He became
a resident of Washington, living at
first with his bride in the old cottage
which she would never permit to be
taken down. He became mayor Of the
city, his portrait was painted by Gil
bert Stuart, the mansion erected on
the Burns estate was one Of the finest
in the country and the resort of the
distinguished people of Washington.
In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had
erected tomb in imitation Of the
temple of Vesta. On each anniversary
of his death the legend has it that his
fayorite troop of six white horses
make ghostly midnight gallop
around the old mansion. Whether the
Bureau of American Republics will in
herit the ghostly horses with the site
of the ancient mansion remains to be
seen.

DEATH IN THE JACKPOT"
turned to Washington for Redemp-
ton Is Increasing.

Increasing numbers of soiled bills
are being returned to Washington for
redemption. Mr.. A. Cressey Morrison
of Chicago, still carries on with en-
thusiasm a campaign against filthy
lucre;" filthy in the literal sense OF
the word; when represented by the
bills commonly used in the present
day transaction of business.
The results of a thorough analysis
of "a of the worst bills turned in are
startling, writes Joe Chapple, in the
National Magazine. There were germs
of grippe, tuberculosis, diphther1a ana
other contagious diseases. Mr.. Nor
rison claims that the examinations
made for typhoid and cholera germs IN
drinking water should be applied 10
bills. When Mr.. Hilditch of Yale ex-
amined "a bills, he discovered an aV-
age of $4,000 bacteria of various
dangerous maladies, which is a mat
ter of grave concern when it is con-
sidered that this money had passed
through the hands of thousands or
men. women and children all over the
country. 1t has been proved scien'
tifically that paper money is means
of transmission of disease. Germs OF
tuberculosis and other contagious dis
orders may live for several days in
bills. From a sanitary standpoint, the
federal government ought to remedy
this disgraceful condition. In fact,
the bills become so contaminated that
no self-respecting person would accept
such an accumulation of filth in any
other form than money, in a public or
private transaction.

and it is said will probably allow the
Indians to enroll in white schools. 1t
is said that this will not cause trouble,
as there is no racial feeling displayed
by the natives toward the admitting of
Indians in their schools. OF course,
this will not hold good where Indian

with a great many. Since July about

Ways of Servino Tribe.

Ways of Serving Triple.
Tripe is the digestive stomach of
beef or veal. 1t is, when we'll pre-
pared, so easily digested that many
Physicians order it for persons suffer
ing from digestive troubles.
To prepare it on the farm, take the
stomach from a freshly-killed ami
nal and wash it thoroughly; then let
it soak over night, changing the water
several times. Make kettle of strong
I've water, cut the tripe in pieces and
drop few at a time in the boiling lye
and cook six minutes. Take out and
lay on board and scrape we'll with a
knife until the brown lining Is re-
moved and the meat is clean and
white. Wash thoroughly, and let
stand in a weak salt brine for two
days, then boil in sailed water until
tender. This will take several hours.
Now it is ready to be served in any
number of ways.
The Spanish people serve tripe in
the following appetizing way:
Spanish Triple.
Place several pounds of tripe In a
baking pan. Pour over it a quart of
chopped tomatoes, q cupful of chopped
onion, two tablespoonfuls Of chopped
parsley, one chopped sweet red pep
per and half a cupful of melted butter.
Bake an hour in moderate oven.
Picked Triple.
Make a spiced vinegar, using a pint
of vinegar, three cloves, a dozen pep
per cOrns, half a bay leaf, one sliced
onion and a teaspoonful of salt. Pour
hot over the tripe and keep in a cool
place. Dip in corn meal and fry with
bacon fat. This makes a good break
fast dish.
Triple Fried.
Roll pieces Of tripe in flour and fry
in hot lard. When brown, remove
and serve with the sauce made from
a chopped onion Drowned in butter,
spoonful Of peppersauce. Boil up
and pour around the tripe.
Triple Frltters.
Make a fritter batter OF one egg, a
Cupful of milk, pinch of salt, a dash
of pepper, a teaspoonful of baking
powder and flour to make a drop bat
ter. Into this dip pieces of tripe and
fry brown in deep fat
Another way to serve this dish is
in milk. Cut up the tripe and simmer
In milk for two hours. Thicker slight
ly and season to taste. A good dish
for invalids.

oy the bureau of census. the death
rate in the United States last year
was only Is per annum to each 1000

lowest death rate in the records of the

rate, according to the records of the
census bureau, was 15.4 per thousand.
II IS stated by the bureau chiefs that
the mortality was distributed with
more than ordinary uniformity. There
were no epidemics other than of a

New Infantry Accouterments.

New equipment for the infantry
branch of the United States army Is
being manufactured at the Rock Is
land arsenal, says a Washington cor
RESPONDENT. In the new accouter-
ments comfort and light weight have
been made the main consideration.
The old ones weighed about IS pounds.
The new one only weighs SO, While
this is only a difference of seven
mounds. you would find that vast diff
ference if you had to lug the stuff
on your back the way the infantry
does. There is an improved knapsack,
which is lighter and fits snugly in the
hollow of the soldiers back. The old
blanket roll is abolished. The new
blanket roll will be a compact bundle,
and will be carried in such manner
as to protect the wearers spine from
the rays of the sun and at the same
time allow greater freedom Of move
ment. The haver3ack now carried on
a strap suspended from the shoulders
will be replaced by smaller one. 1t
will contain changes of underclothing,
meat can, knife, fork and spoon and
Gun. An improved canteen is also
provided. 1t will be fiat and curved
on one side, so that it will fit snugly.
An innovation is provided in the cart
ridge belt. In the new belt most of
the ammunition is carried in front. so
as to act as a counterpoise to the
weight of the blanket roll and KNAPP
sack on the back. Tta new belt may
be worn loosely, so as not to caus,
any pressure on the abdomen About
$4,000 pieces of this equipment will
be made, and within a yea tho en-.
tire army will be supplied.

halloween luncheon may be made
most novel and attractive by exclu-
ding the day light from the room and
covering the lights with yellow tissue
paper. For the center piece a large
pumpkin with face cut in each side
and a lighted candle In the center,
makes a pretty center. Arrange
around the pumpkin yellow ears of
corn pointing outward like rays and
between them place mounds of fruit
and nuts. Small paper jack o lanterns
may be used as favors.
A pumpkin basket filled with fruits
and autumn leaves makes a center
piece little unusual. Autumn leaves
might be the decoration for the place
cards Brass candle sticks with red
and yellow shades will make a soft
and ghostly light effect.
White jack o. lanterns made of
gourds with candles inside make an
attractive feature at a party where

terpiece.
For the luncheon one may have

of wild duck, salad of orange and
