which II IL planned to carry out this

Xr. Levy's plan Is nothing less than
to load all his fellow members of
Congross on q special train and take
them to Monticello to allow tho ma

selves tho condition OF tho place and
judge how the present owner has

The renl explanation of this unique

persons who think that he ought TO

This may seem trino odd. seeing

there may be feminine finger In
