WHITE HOUSE STABLES
WILL Be TORN DOWN
Horses. Carriages and Other
Vehicles and Pauline, the
Cow. viii Be Sent Away.

Arrangements have been made by Capt.
u. s. Grant, the engineer officer tempo
rerily in charge of public buildings and
grounds. for the demolition of the Presi-
dents stables on the White Lot imn,e-
diateiy south of the State Department
building. This action is in conformity
with provision in the sundry civil bill
approved March last. That act ap-
propriated 1000 for the removal OF the
Sta bles from the public reservation, the
grading, soiing, seeding and sodding Of
the site and the transfer of the horses.
carriages and other vehicles of the Presi-
dent and of the executive office to the
stables maintained by the quarterma ster
general of the army in this city The
act took effect on the LIST instant.
All the horses, carriages automobiles
and other vehicles, and even Pauline.
the executive cow, already have been
transferred to their new quarters, a
large brick building occupying most of
the square between 10Th and 9th and 3
and { streets northwest. Modern and
spacious quarters have been provided for
the executive outfit. These include an en-
iirely new brick garage located en- 10Th
street between the two wings of the
original stable buildings.
Erected in Grants Administration.
The White House stables have been
abandoned entirely except by caretaker
They were established in a two-story
mansard-roofed building having a frame
aHdglass inclosed court. located nearly
opposite the Corco.an Gallery Of Art, on
q line with E street. The original sta oIes
were erected in the early seventies dur
ing the administration OF President Grant,
al were rebuilt almost entirely during
tie administration of President Harrison
about twenty years ago. The changes in
cl-ded the erection OF small frame cot
tage and workshop in the rear for the
Use OF the employees.
THESE are the only buildings on the
large reservation south of the President S
house and the State ana Treasury build
irgs. between 18th and 18th streets. They
arc surrounded by grove OF small but
heavily folfagcd trees and thick shrub
berry. and to tnat extent are partially con-
cealed from general observation.
IL has been decided 10 have them re-
moved by contract as speedily the
v DIRK can he accomplished Bios will be
opened in d few days and the last vestige
OF this old landmark will soon disappear
from the landscape.
Pauline Grazes on the White Lot.
Although Pauline has lost her home on
the White Lot, she will continue to en-
joy the daily privilege of grazing on
those exclusive preserves She is led

One OF the old employees of the White
House remarked today that il was a Pc
culiar irony of fate that required Capt.
Grant. the grandson and namesake of
President l. 6. Grant. to tear down
stables that had been specially erected to
house the valuable horses OF his dis
tlnguished grandfather.

NEW YORK, July 10.-An excited party
of men and women in a touring car was
| whizzing along the boulevard in North
Bergen, y. j., yesterday afternoon, with
Motor Cycle Policeman Murray racing
after them at top speed.
They had been going plenty fast enough
when Murray took I'D the chase. They
went even faster when they saw he was
bent on arresting the man at the wheel.
The auto was powerful one and Muir
ray was losing ground when. just oppo-
site 9th street West New York, the
motor cycle carbureter blew up.
In an instant wheel and man were en-
veloped in flames which. famed by the
wind Of his speed. fared out behind him
like red flag in a breeze.
Steered Into Sand Pile.
Murray was going so fast it would have
been suicide to leap. But he caught
sight of a big sand pile in front of
new building and steered into it. The
machine was crumpled into a tangle of
spokes and bars and Murray flew sew
eral feet through the air with his cloth
ing still on fire.
But some one in the fugitive automo-
bile had turned back and had seen the
blazing man and machine. Suddenly
the touring car slowed up. wheeled
about and came back. breaking the
speed law some more in its drivers
haste to reach his erstwhile pursuer
AS the auto came up to the sand pile
where Murray lay the men and women
threw out blankets and the men leaped
to the street. They wrapped the rugs
around Murray and extinguished the
! fire. They We're in time to prevent his
being seriously burned, although his
hands and face were scorched.
Wouldn't Arrest Him.
We'll, I'm here" said the man who
had been driving the car. I'm your
prisoner"
Murray stopped nursing his burns
and smiled approximately
II don't think I want to arrest a man
like YOU" he said. II don't think the
captain would let me. even if | wanted
to. They don't make EN- like YOU
every day
But we'd better give them a chance
If they should happen to want me-"
said .the automobile man. He insisted
on taking Murray into the car and
driving him TO the nearest station
The man in the auto said he was E
ID. Ebbets of East Orange. But he
couldn't get them to make charge
against him after they had heard Muir
rays story.

ROMANCE OF FINANCE.
Rise of Sir Ernest casseI, The Famous
English Philanthropist.

nlu0 OF OF ETnGoI Sdob6t1 tUO atUOoo
English Philanthropist.
The world of finance contains no
more thrilling romance than that In
which the central figure is Sir Ernest
Cassel. whose recent gift of park to
Newmarket in memory of King Ed
ward, whose friendship-he enjoyed for
many years, is but one of many splen-
did acts of munificence.
His father was a small banker at
: Cologne. At sixteen young Cassel
came to England to earn his own liv-
ing. He started In Liverpool, and then
he came to London, and perhaps scores
of people who read these lines will re-.
call the time when he was a Junior
clerk, getting 81 week. When one
Of the London financial houses got into
difficulties the task of disentangling
the complications was intrusted TO the
young man. and he did his work with
such marked ability that he at once
made a name for himself. Since then
his progress has been phenomenal.
Sir Ernest provided most of the
funds for the new radium institute in
London. which was opened short
IlhC uSO, NC saw thC pisooO'ONN
with which the late King Edward
founded sanitarium for the victims
of tuberculosis. while he gave another
million dollars for the establishment
of an Anglo German institute.
How self reliant Sir Ernest is is
proved by the fact that in none of his
colossal financial enterprises has he
ever had a partner. London Answers.

There is good land with fair build

homes for starving, crowded, city
families who are dying for lack of
fresh air and healthy surroundings
These farms can be bought for a
very small sum, on easy terms or
rented on almost any terms.
What is true of Bridgewater is also
true of many towns back from the
railroad. Vermont has homes for
thousands Of city people. She has
farms that would afford them a good
living, far better than they are now

Deer Killing.

Game Commissioner John w
Titcomb says that an account "i
much contradictory legislatlon, the
game laws of the state are in suci
shape that II pamphlets EXPLAINING
them can not he prepared. Th'
game commissioner is in a position
to know and his word may be ac-
cepted without question.
This eternal meddling with the
game laws breeds lot of trouble and
in the case of Vermont's deer it re-
sultsror has resulted this year, in
what is little less than a>butchery.
Two thousand dead bucks are
already counted, and complete re-
turns are not yet at hand.
Many hunters are saying that the
November shooting period is much
more deadly than if it were set a
month earlier, before the mating
season, and if this Ia so another
change to the October date would be
humane. and it would add to the ex-
element and Joy Of this exhilaratine
sport
Necessarily, then, according to MIR
Titcomb, the Legislature must keep
on amending the game laws until
they are rational and Ineligible.
And if measure little less disas-
trous tc the deer results, let's hope
it will not be changed.
Another penalty of the deer killing
season is the large per cent of heads
that are set up mounted in all
the inartistic glory of glass eyes, red
plush and much -arsenical preserva-
tive. The fly swatters might well turn
their attention to these dust collec-
tors during the cold spell.
