Many bit~ OF history and biography float
around Washington which never get INTO
the books.
Everybody who enters the House of
Representatives, either on the iloor or in
the galleries, Is attracted by the large por-
trait Of General Washington, which hangs
on the south wall, To the right OF the speak
er, and the large portrait OF General La
Fayette which hangs Ia the left Of the
speaker. A more or less yeraclous retailer
Of gossip once told me that the legs in the
Washington portrait are not those Of
Washington but those of General Smith of
Maryland. The reason a~Signde for bor-
rowing the legs OF the grea Marylander a.
stated 10 me-, wa> that the Father OF Ills
Country did not POSSESS m eligible pair
of legs. Long trouseSr had not been in
vented ia that PARKWAY day and the short
breechc~ and long stockings Of the era
exposed the lack of Shapline,S in the lower
extremltieS more than do the modern
pantaloons. That General Washington
was a stately person. standing six feet
two and a halt inches, J. known to al men.
IL ~ also u fact that hc was POSSESSED of
immense physical strength. There i, Il
tradition that he once threw Il silver dollar
across the Potomac. Out Of that story
grew one Of the most delicious mois 81
William VI. Eyarts. lie was telling IT to

Evart's Blu Fee.


Speaking OF Evarts recalls this BIT of
history:
A.. I. Stewart was. in his time. the mcr-
chant prince, and, ~ the same time vii
ham Maxwell Evarts was the prince oi
lawyers. He held two cabinet places. at
torney general under Johnson and ~ccrc-
tary of State under Hayes. He was the
chief American counsel before the Geneva
arbitration commission IN our historical
clam against Great Britain. for damage
Ia our merchant marine wrought by the
Alabama and other Confederate warShipS
and blockade runners. built by the Brit
IShers IN Britain during the civil war. and.
as we asserted. with the knowledge and
consent of the British government in viola
tion Of the neutrality law. As We gained
the award against Great Britain il must
be- assumed that W were right.
Evarts was also principal counsel for
President Johnson during hi~ Impeachment
trial and at 4 It'll later date 4 senator az
the United States. so he was not only the
tItnlar hut also the real head of the Amcri-
can bar. In the tariff law Of his and
Stewards day there was a very high duty
on a certain class Of silk goods and 4 mnc.l
lower duty an the same class of goods
wherein the silk va, mixed with wool.
Stewart had placed very large orders
with European manufacturers for the silk
goods before the duty was raised Skv high,
and. a. he had accepted orders from hi
customers equal To hi> European orders.
when the older and lower rate Of duty was
the law and. n he could not pay the higher
duty al the lower price without great loss.
the merchant prince hied him Ia the prince
of lawyers to get him out of the hole =
which was %prompetly done.
Evarts advised Stewart 10 order The
European manufactures Ia run a wool m
thread or two through the ~clved.c which
would not IN any way iniurc the cloth. but
would bring il within the part silk part
wool class of goods and would therefore
bring II under the lower tariff. Stewart
ollowcd hi~ advice. and strange Ia -ay.
the treasury department accepted that
view Of II. Stewart made n vast amount Of
money instead Of losing il. and EvartS
pocketed a hundred thousand dollar fee.

ADJUSTMENTS

lard Mack this week IS doing some Of the
best work OK his successful and versatile
career
This week Mr. Mack is seen. not as

character calls for some exceptionally
good emotional acting. and the difficult

best that he has ever done.
The play drags somewhat y places
but, with allowances for iirst-nlght

OF the most interesting and entertaining
predictions given this season al the Utah
theater. Mr.. Mack will doubtless use his
blue pencil in q few spots before the

authors lines 20 action.
The playwright built tho drama around
the one character OF johann Strauss. and
