HISTORIC SPOT is UNMARKED
Location Of Nations First White
House, in Philadelphia, Known,
but That Is All.

Excepting for a few months, Wash
lngton lived in Philadelphia during
his entire administrations as presi-
dent of the United States, and John
Adams did likewise during his term.
There was no White House, but q
brick house, and, as quite generally
known, it stood on the south side Of
Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The house itself long
since disappeared, and it seems
strange that Philadelphia has never
taken the trouble to make in suit
able way the spot where the nations
executive mansion stood when occcu-
pied by the Father of His Country.
When Washington came to-. Phila-
delphia to attend the continental con-
gress before taking command of the
army, he lived in the SWEETEST board
ing house in the city. It was kept by
Mrs. Triste, at the southwest corner
of Fifth and Market streets. But
while more fashionable, the house has
been far less famous than the hore
modest one, two blocks farther west.
at the southwest corner OF Seventh
and Market streets. It was in the lat
ter that Jefferson boarded, and on
the second floor, corner room, In
which he wrote the Declaration Of In
dependence.
According to John Adams, who
could have qualified as chief gossip
at any quilting party. philadelphia
was then away ahead OF Boston and
New York as q fashionable center.

wife. He was quite awed by the To-
cal splendor. Philad elphia Ledger.

The scenes OF the play are laid
among the Ozark mountains Of Mis-
souri,. It Is a story OF the hills and
the simple life. yet It has plenty; OF
excitement and an air of mystery thai
will hold the auditor from beginning
to end.
The story has to dc w1rh the father
Of an artist, who, TIED of city life,
goes into the Gzarks for peace and
quietVde. He learns Of g grieTous sin
committed by his son, whom he
mourns as dead. The son had visited
the hills some years before, when
he fell in love with a simple country

wronged girl that the father of the
artist comes, and here he is en-
ployed to watch the sheep. He grows
TO love the country and its people,
and he and the half-Witted boy, Aete,
become friends.
A love story running through the
