Sick of KaiSeriSm.
GOVERNMENT official said at
banquet in Washington:

A GOVERNMENT official said at
banquet in Washington:
"The Germans. before long. will be
heartily sick of kaiserism. If you
could take census of the German
opinion of kaiserism even today, L
guess 1t would be like the editors
census of matrimony.
"An editor, thinking to please his
lady readers, sent out postcards to
the married men of the town with the
query, why did you marry?
"The answers he got were of the
following descriptions:
"'That's what I've been trying for
twenty-three years to find out.-Job
"T wanted a companion of the op-
posite sex. Shes opposite, all right.
Henry Peck
"'Her father thought eight years
counting was about long enough

"'This is the question all my friends
keep asking me.--Patient sufferer

In The Star of February 25. 1898. the
Rambler finds the following in con.

that part Of the city which within
q few years has developed in a way
that seems like magic:
In a Neglected section.--Thcre is a gentle
wave of activity sweeping over that section of

Considerable real estate in that locality has

IL Is claimed that authority will also be asked
to allow the erection Of the depot farther
south; 1t is said that the site selected for
the depot Of the proposed road is the Van
Ness square. The erectiOlk Of the handsome
building by the Corcoran Art Galley is also
mentioned as likely to have favorable effect
that the mucll-talked.of bridge across the river
at the foot Of New York avenue Is one of the
possibilities Of the future.
Altogether this section of the city has been
neglected for good many years; 1t Is now
enjoying quite healthy boom. 1t will be Of

The great house which stood in
Van Ness square up to few years
ago may have been built at about the
time of the marriage Of Gen. Van
Ness and Marcia Burnes That would
put the date of it's construction near
1902. Perhaps it was erected by Gen.
Van Ness in anticipation of the mar
riage. The Rambler has not yet found
any published account of the marriage
of these two interesting persons,
who were such prominent figures in
the history of the young Washington.
One might gather from the funeral
discourse on Mrs. yam Ness by Rev.
William Hawley OF st. Johns Epis-
coDal Church that the great house
had been made ready for the recep-

about this time (NIarcia's return
from school in Baltimorc) the splen-

evergreens and all the variety of
admired woodbine and multi-flora
creeping up it's side. all throwing their
rich perfume on the balmy atmos-
phere, was now prepared for the re-
ception of the family. Leaving the

Not many facts are to be extracted
