since 1858 has been in the n
of the association which now holds
the title. Situated eighteen miles down
the Potomac river from Washington,
IT is accessible by a private boat line,
by electric cars or by motor. hougn
the latter means necessitates 'raNei
over a stretch of very rough road.
Those who maintain that Mount
Vernon should remain under Its pres
ent management point out hat When
famous estate was for sale more
than sixty years ago the congress
showed small interest in Its preserva-
ton. and appeared willing to let the
place be dismantled or fall into decay
beyond repair. Gathering a group or
patriotic women about her. Miss Ann
Pamela Cunningham, of South Caro-
lima. organized the Mount Vernon
Ladies' Association of the Union in
1852. and five years later had raised

acres of the original estate of 5000

restored, a large amount OF Washing

priceless rare collections as the Bible

is entered, inc his swords. Where

TO have the surroundings conform ex-

deucy.
A meeting OF the association that
owns Mount Vernon never fails TO

United States government should not
own the famous spot. more reverenced

Instances, as In the carriage house
where a coach OF the 18th century
period Is kept, though not the one
in which Washington was wont 10
ride.
The ladies' association includes a
regent. now Miss Harriet G. Comegys,
and one vice regent from each state.
Under their management everything
possible is done to impress the visitor
with the dignity and beauty OF the
home of Washington. As washington
never entertained on Sundays, so the
grounds are never open TO the public
on hat day of the week. No smoking
is ever permitted, either in h house
or on the grounds. The grounds are
kept immaculate. and no picnic lunch
es may be eaten on the lawns or In
the surrounding woods, though there
are restaurants Just outside the gate.
All of the guards around the place
are grey veterans of the Civil War,
possessed of a courtesy and patience
that never tires. no matter how many
hundred visitors swarm through the
place during the day. or how many
foolish questions they ask. The ex-
penses are met by a charge of twenty
FIVE cents for admission.
Those in n out of congress who
maintain that the government should
take over Mount Vernon usually base
their argument on the assumption
thai no American should be compelled
to pay a fee, however small. to stand
before the tomb OF George Washing
ton, or to walk through the portals of
his white colonial mansion overlook
ing the historic river. They also hold
that as many tourists can get to
Washington only on Sundays the
grounds should be open OF that day.

Until a training camp was estab-

war the greater part of the road TO
that place was q poor route Tor traV-

partly remedied that evil, but the
last few miles of the road are in poor
repair, and when the Prince of Wales
was driven out there during his re-

ness got a shaking up that must have
been a novel experience TO him.

CUPID CATCHES ALASKA SCHOOL TEACHER THRILLS
Romance That Puts Movie Drama in the Shade Is Re-
 vealed by Newlywed.

Miss Mary Beah Wright, former Public School teacher at Seward and Cordova, Society editor of the Cor dova Daily Times for nearly year, and who visited in Juneau last sum- mer while on her way to the States, was married recently to Alexander Wattss. at Long Beach, Calf. Other public school teachers have joined the ranks of matrimony, and aside from the wedding announcements, etc., there hase been little else said. But Miss Wright. or rather Mrs Watts, in letter received, finds the human side of a romance which is certainly thriller. It is said that truth is stranger than fiction. and if the following does not prove it., then-but here is a part Of the letter and more:
 The story of my meci;ng with the man who is now my husband, and the events leading up to our mar riage, is so strange that my journal istic instinct quite gets the better of reticenee. If you use the clipping. you may add to it anything you please from this letter, for the story
 is even more remarkable than the press reporter has given it:
 In September 1914, MT. Watts found himself opposite a young woman on a train bound westward out of Den yer. Several attempts to start conversation with her failed. At last a train boy, distributed packages of post cards down. the aisle remarked to MT. Watts: Maybe your wife would like some"- glancing at the girl. The two looked at each other and burst into hearty laugh. The :ce was broken. Later MT. Watts remarked to young man with whom he was travelling: "Someday I'm go- ing to marry that girl" It took him almost six years to the day to realize his ambition.
 When the train reached Sacra- nnento, Miss Wright went North to take charge of an Oregon High School while the man and his friend, who were really secret service officers searching the underground dives oi Chinatown, San Francisco, for Char les Fugua, who had murdered in cold blood a wealthy citizen of St Louis. From San Francisco to Los Angeles, from Los Angeles to Rock Springs. Wyoming, from Rock Springs back to San Francisco they lrailed him and finally captured him in a hotel on Telegraph Hin.

 \ The ceremony was witnessed by only few friends as the principals are newcomers in Long Beach. The bride arrived here Wednesday from San Francisco, where she has been the guest of her cousin, Clarence E. Baen, of. the Anglo-London Bank. At he wedding she wore a handsome frock of beaded white gorgette and carried white carnations. She IS a graduate of Indiana University, and for several years has been a teacher and writer in Alaska.
 When the wedding was set for June year ago, Mir. Watts was superintendent of the Standard Oil Company coal mines at Schoper, ILL Two days before he was to start for Seward, the house in which he and .wo of his assistants lived was struck by lightning. Electric exploders stored within, were set off with the result that the building and its entire contents including a, safe which held practically all of the lifetime savings of the three men. was Yawaing pit.
