and took a share in rebuilding the
prosperity of the town. He died IN
1906, and his son. Samuel Vernon, car
ried on the family traditions of pa
triotism and hospitality. After him
only one more generation of NernonS
lived in the old house-the family of
Samuel Brown Vernon. his youngest SON
This last Mr.. Vernon died in 1858, and in
1872 the house was sold.
From this date on the fortunes of
Vernon House have fallen in many places.
Twice they have been linked with con-
cation of the statue of Count de Rocham-
beau in Washington, when French dele
gates by direction of President Loubet
of France proceeded to Newport to lay a
associate of Rochambeau, and once in
September, 1908, when bronze tablet in
memory of Rochambeau was affixed to
the house.
For a while the house was the home of
Harwood E. Reed. In 1877 it was used s
the offices of the United States geological
survey. In 1912. after Mr.. Reeds death,
the property was for sale.
At the same time the Charity Organiza
ton Society of Newport was anxious to
find suitable home, and the idea &C.
Cured to members that not only would
Vernon House be suitable for this pur-
pose, but it would also be the means of
preserving unchanged a fine colonial
fund of $4,000. Very generous responses
followed. both from interested summer
visitors and Newporters themselves, and
the heirs Of Mr. Reed aided.
After the purchase a thorough reno
walton took place. The old front door
and sash of the stair window were
found in the attic and replaced: walls
were scraped and painted white: a
small space to the east of the house
was planted with old ashioned flowers.
The second story has been fitted up as
dwelling. while the two south rooms
on the ground floor are arranged for Of
fees, leaving the north or Washington
room for occasional use.
Thus, though the character of it's
guests has changed, the doors of YER
non House are still thrown open in
hospitality. Beautiful and we'll pre-
served, the old house renders now
service as dignif1ed and worthy as in
the days of it's revolutionary past.

.[0MBARGY IRON CROWN
NEAR BATTLE REGIONS
Considered One of Most Precious of
Italy's Innumerable His
toric Relics.

Not so very far from the battle
swept frontier that takes it's way
through the Tyrolese Alps lies the Ital-
ian town of Monza. wherein one Of the
most precious of Italy's innumerabl
historic relics is preserved. the famous
iron crown of Lombardy.' according to
war primer just issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society. This iron
crown came to the Lombards and to its
fame through the gift of Pope Gregory
the Great. who presented it to Ger
man princess as reward for convert
ing her consort to Christianity.
"TheodClinda was the daughter of
Bavarian king. Reasons of policy
brought about an arrangement for her
marriage to Autharis, King Of the Lom-
bards. Theodolinda was princess of
unusual charm and beauty; and, the
story runs, Autharis, who had secretly
joined his embassy for the negotiation
of his marriage, met the princess as
simple Lombard courtier, and the af
lection that grew up between them
caused the princess to oppose her mar
riage with the unknown king with all
the power of her persuasion.
Wins Devotion of Subjects.
"Monza. the northern city, dates its
first important associations from the
coming of Theodolinda The German
queen won the devotion of her subjects,
and upon the death of Autharis they
agreed to recognize as their king any
prince whom she might choose for her

was Theodolinda's choice, and he it
was, whom she converted to ChrisaI-
anity. whereby the Lombard IRON crown
started upon it's centuries career of
wonderful associations with queens,
kings and emperors.
Pope Gregory's gift was a fillet of
iron. which, according to pious tradi-
ton. was beaten out of one of the nails
which fastened Jesus to the cross.
This relic was brought to Rome by the
Empress Helena. and was guarded as
a relic of marvellous powers.
The iron tillet was used to crown
the German emperors kings of Italy.
