One Of the most pleasing sights in my
mind 10 General Kinsman. father OF
Captain Kingman. going to the War
Department In the morning In his cleo
tric. always accompanied by his hand
some wife. who sits beside him In the
most stately manner with a parasor to
protect her from the sun. Neither Mrs.

busy and Mrs. Kingman will not leave
him. just at the present time their SON.

One Of the few handsome homes with
large lawns remaining on Columbia
road Is about to be sacrificed to the
inevitable, the crowded conditions
seemingly necessary In a city. Survey
ors are at work now preparing for a
large and very handsome apartment
house which Is to displace the residence
Of Mr.. and Mrs George Truesdell.
Arthur Heaton. the architect, Is al
| ready with the plans. which are very
| fine. I am told. and the contractors are
now bidding for the work.
The house has been occupied very
little in recent years and scarcely at
all by the Truesdells. who seem to pre-
fer q very beautiful home which they
have in the neishborhood OF lexington
It Is a large house which can be seer
trees from the window OF a train leav-
Ing the Union station yards.

The really truly wonderful place which
Colonel TruSbnell has Is his estate OH
| the, very top OF a mountain near Deer
! Park where all Of the Altamont SprinR
water comes from. 1t 10 one of the
show places OF that community. One
Of the first things which a visitor tc
that resort does Is to 60 to Colonel
Truesdells. which means a ride winding
through beautiful woods. slowly wind
ing until you are at the top where q
| magnificent view Of the very tops OF
| the Allegheny mountains greets the
eye. And he owns all this mountain
and the Altamont spring at the bot
| tom. The house is converted barn
but 10 very large. roomy and comfort
able. And 1t Is there that they pass
| their summers.
| -
| And many are the Washington people
who have whiled away the hot weather
at Deer Park and thereabouts thi
season. 1t has been a fashionable sum
mer resort for many years. The lat
President Cleveland took his bride t
Deer Park for their honeymoon.
