sion of his 100000 home. which will
be finished in few weeks, he will be
the only white man living in the block
which his house faces.
Soon after President Taft appointed
Governor Hughes to the Supreme
court he came to Washington and
spent several days looking for a
house. He was not satisfied with any
thing on the market and rented a
large, old fashioned house in Massa-
chusetts avenue for his first season.
Then he and Mrs. Hughes spent
many afternoons house hunting. but
they were disappointed again, and
decided finally to build home. JUS
tice Hughes said at the time that, as
he expected to spend the greater part
of his life in this city, he wished to
have a home that satisfied him in
every particular.
For a long time he debated whether
he would build in Massachusetts ave-
nue. or Sixteenth street, the two most
fashionable streets in the city He
chose the latter finally, and bought a
good-sized lot on the corner of Six.

decided to have the residence face v

any sort in v street. The property
had been held for years at high
price and remained vacant.

Great efforts will ne made to secure

the Olympic games at Stockholm,
Sweden, next year, that will not only
sweep the boards in the field and
track events, but will capture most
of the other events as well.
More attention will be- paid in the
next selections of team to rifle and
revolver shooting, lawn tennis, wrest-

This will mean that more men will
have to be sent abroad. AS the Amer

slightest doubt that it will be able to,
raise the fund of $4,000, there will,
however, be no need to be sparing in
the number of representatives that
are sent across the Atlantic.
