on his way home in consequence OF
the panic that had been caused by
President Jacksons attack upon the
Bank of the United States. At this
time Aston was worth $40,000,000 and
was the richest man in the United
States. He reached the boat shortly
before she left Havre and induced the
captain to give up his stateroom for
his use.
No sooner had the vessel cleared
the port, however, than Aston, who had
been so eager to embark, wanted to be
set ashore.
1t was arranged that he would be
sent back the next day, but the wind
changed and the vessel got out into
the Atlantic. In couple of days she
was driven back near the coast of Ire
land and the terrified millionaire Of
fered $4,000 If the captain would put
back with him. The captain refused,
because of the dangers of the Irish
coast. This was the last time John
Jacob Aston went to sea- though he
lived IA years after.

where there is hotel Of advanced

The falls are always changing, &C.

Above them is a dam which holds
back the water for the Washington

dam makes a rise of eight inches in
the water as it passes over the falls
and down the gorges. The spectacle
Is one Of great majesty. The river
splits and runs around a craggy isl

great rocks which split the flood into
three separate waterfalls, as it tum-

from three angles, forms a great whirl-
pool and thence RACES through mar

Of granite for about mile. where 1t

SEA MADE FORTUNE

That early sailing took two months
in fair weather, and the vessel in
which Aston was a passenger encoun-
tered very rough winds, so that it was
the middle of January before she
reached Chesapeake bay. There, as
far as the eye could see, was nothing
but ice.
Within days sail of Baltimore the
vessel became locked in the ice. Some
of the passengers were able to walk
out on the ice and reach the shore,
but young Aston declared that as the
owner of the ship had contracted to
land him in Baltimore and lodge him
in the interval, he would remain on
board
One of his companions was an elder
ly German who was returning to
America after visit to his native
land. He and his young countryman
became quite friendly, and it was from
this chance acquaintance that Aston

in the fur business. The elder man

OLD DICK|E HOUSE
Has Had Every President as Its

Ancient Building in Virginia Has Long
Been Famous for Its Fish and
Chicken Dinners-only Dwell.
Ing Left Of City.

Washington.-On the Virginia side
of the Great Falls of the Potomac,
commonly known as "the Niagara of
the South" fourteen miles from Wash
ington, is an ancient building, the old
Dickie house, connected with which is
the pleasing tradition that every presi-
dent of the United States has taken
dinner beneath fits roof tree, President
Taft alone excepted. The -old habita-
ton, long famous for it's fish and
chicken dinners, is the only dwelling
left OF the departed City of Matildas-
vile, that was called into being by
the construction of the Potomac Com
pany Canal, of which George Wash
ington, after relinquishing his COM
mand at the close of the revolution,
was promoter and president
Generations ago the canal was aban-
doned and Matildasville vanished from
the map. The old Dickie house alone
remains. George Washington often
ate beneath its roof. When the Brit.
ish captured Washington in 1914 Pres.

said, tarried for a meal before cross
ing the river. All the presidents but
one are said by the descendants of
the original owner of the house to
have sat at the table in the little din
ingroom when visiting the falls and
to have partaken of fish and chicken
cooked in a style that has made the
Dickie family famous for its culinary
accomplishments. Some are skeptical
enough to question this claim, but it is
put forth with such stress that most
visitors depart strong in the faith
that they have eaten a meal in a room
that has been honored by the presence
of all the presidents but one. AS yet
President Taft has not sat in judy
ment upon a meal at Dickie's, and the
absorbing ambition of the proprietor
of the house is to make the list COM
plete.
Since the completion of the trolley
line to the Great Falls of the Potomac
this beautiful work of nature has at

Of the most popular in the vicinity of
the national capital. Last year, 170,-
900 excursionists visited the falls. In
addition, thousands of other sightseers
made the trip by automobile or car
riage on the Maryland side. This
route is far more beautiful than the
one on the Virginia side, for the road
winds along the river and the Chesa-
