VIRGINIA PLACE Historic Hayfiald, the Home of the Late W. E Olark. 3 The Residente of Lund Washington, m Intimate Friend of the First President. Written for Thg Hyoning Star. In the objtuary notice of the late Mr. William E. Clark of this city the following mention is made of Hayfield, Va., his sum- mer home, where he died: “Hayfield, Mr. Clack’s summer home, 1s one of the most beautiful places around Washington. It is quite near Mount Ver- non, and the historic old homestead was built about 120 years ago by George Wash- ington, and was occupied by Lewis Wash- ington.” Gen. Washington was a frequent visitor at Hayfield for many years, but I am quite sure that he had nothing to do with the construction of this mansion, and 1 do not believe that he ever owned any part of the plantation. It is well known that every incident of Gen. Washington's public and private life has been brought out in the numerous biographies ot him and in the publications of his correspondence, and if there is among them anywhere @ mention of his ownership of the Hayfield estate 1 have failed to ‘see it. In the absence of such proof the inference would be strong that Hayfield was never a part of his numerous properties. ~ : About the year 1752 or 63 Gen. Washing- ton became the owner of the Mount Ver- non estate. The house, as described by Lozsing, was ‘a plain, substantial man- sion.” It may not have-been large; for the country residences of gentlemen in those days were generally simple and of mod- erate dimensions, as compared with the modern style; but though he had a large family connection and many calls upon his hospitality, the structure sufficed for the general's purposes for tore than thirty years. Virginia country houses have for generations: possessed what might be call~ ed a capacity for stretching, in order to accommodate guests, which is unknown in many localities. 4 Simple, but Comfortable. If Gen. Washington, with his ample means, did not care to enlarge his own family mansien of Mount Vernon he would not be likel¥ to build another house ‘at much cost in the neighborhood. There was absolutely no motive for him to do so. The construction of country houses at that era was a mutter of considerable expense and trouble, and» hardly any gentleman had more than one private residence. Mount Vernon, with its conveniences, beautiful surroundings: and ample domain, was enough to satisfy any personal aspiration, and the estate furnished a round of duties nearly every day for its owner or manager to discharge. * At the time assigned in the notice re- ferred to for the construction of Maytleld— namely, 1775—the difficulties between Eng- Tand-and the’tolonies had culminated, hus- tilities had Begun, and no-planter would have aared to embark in new enterprises. Gen. Washingion, especially, had been for years thoroughly; absorbed in the revolu- tionary mo) and at the time stated he became ler-in-chief of the Amer- ican arm , consequently, unable to look after irs personally. Again, if @efSWashington had been the owner of the Mayfield estate he would not have sold it}' Iiwas a farm of fairly good that his large body of will and testament. in uncommon practice tates for gentlemen whose ngrossed by politics, war, rhat they couid not per- gnd@ their estates, to engage e relative whom they moiwrate; views charming.

The Cuban revolutionary leaders in New York received a letter yesterday from a man who has large property interests in Matanzas, under date of July 12. He says: “I am pleased to report that the revolution 1s rapidly growing in this part of the coun- try. Some bands of insurgents have shown themselves in this province and as soon as arms and ammunition enough can be pro- cured there will be a general uprising here. “It 1s whispered—people do not dare to speak openly on the subject—that 10,000 Spanish soldiers are sick in the hospitals. Official news seems to justify the report. Martinez Campos has cabled to Madrid for 125 more physicians. The government is considering the advisability of employing bloodhounds to track the Cubans. Gen. Maceo captured a convoy and seized $80,- 000 which was being taken Jnto the in- terior to soldiers. : Six additional batterles of artillery will be sent from Spain to Cuba during the present month and during the month of September reinforcements to the number of 30,000 troops will be dispatched to that ts- land_under the command of Gens. Pola and Vija. ——__+e+—_____ Hunt for a Meteor. : A party of gentlemen under the guid- ance of Dr. Dekyne of Philadelphia has commenced a search for a me- teor which fell Wednesday night six miles north of West Chester. The me- teor was observed by several hundred per- sons at various points, and was of unusual size and brilliancy. People at Malvern, which Is only about a mile from where the huge metallic ball is supposed to have fallen, heard it roaring through the air. Dr. Dekyne is of the opinion that the meteor will weigh at least 150 pounds, and it is said that it will be almost worth its weight in gold, as only two meteors have been found during the past century, both of which are now on exhibition in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington. Charity Bequest Thwarted. The bequest of $10,000 to the poor of York, Pa., left by the late M. S. Eichel- berger, has been rendered inoperative by a decision of the auditor in the estate. Yale College was made the residuary legatee, and, as no exceptions were filed to the auditor’s report, the decision will stand. An effort is being made to have Yale Col- lege refund the money. 0s Ingalls’ Campaign. Ex-Senator Ingalls said yesterday he would devote much of his time during the next year and a half in Kansas to secure a legislature that will return him to the United States Senate. He realizes that the politicians are fighting him at every turn. If the election of United States Senator could just now be submitted to a vote of the people, Ingalls thinks he would be the choice by @ large majority. officer of distinction in the British service. Fairfax had his own beautiful country seat of Belvoir, not far from Mount Ver- non, but was also manager of the great landed estates of his cousin, Lord Fairfax. General Wasking*on, by reason of hig, ac- tive public eakeer, beginning in his earliest manhood, and freqhent absences from home, “was compelled often to rely upon the aid of his relatives for the superintend- enee of his oWn large and diversified prop- erties. His will records his obligations to two of his brothers for this service, but the person on whom he depended for the long- est, period and especially during the criti- cal-seven years of the revolutionary strug- gle, was his friend and kinsman, Mr. Lund Washington of Hayfield. Intimate With Gen. Washington. ..The published correspondence of Gen. Washington with Mr. Lund Washington shows the closeness.and Intimacy of their persona] relations, and that no man en- joyed tho general’s confidence to a greater extent. Lund Washington ‘and his broth- ers, Robert and Lawrence, had been corn- panions of Gen. Washington in boyhood days. Lund Washington was younger than any. of these, but he matured rapidly and became a natural selection for the most important trusts, He was born on the 2ist of October, 1737, and died in July, 1796, some three years before Gen. Washington. The general was present at the funeral. The widow of Lund Washington and two of his brotherg are remembered in the last will of Gen. "Washington with expressions of esteem and régard. 5 The businegs.connection of Gen. Wash- ington and ‘Mr, Lund Washington began about 1760, and ended in 1785, but their personal intimacy was terminated only by the death of the latter. This was natural. They were very near nelghbors—out-door men,.so to speak—and had many kindred tastes, besides the associations of a life- time. For many years preceding his death in 1796 Lund Washington was the owner of Hayfield and lived there. I have always understood that !t was he who bullt the family mansion. He was a prosperous country gentleman. That he was a man of great force of character, intelligence and business capacity goes without saying. His own.immediate family were well represent- ed in the revolutionary service. One brother, John Washington, was a captain in a Virginia regiment, was present at the capture of the Hessians and died in the service.

My father; Mm Lund Washington, born in Septembér, £767, was a nephew of Mr. Lund Washijngthn of Hayfield. He died in ‘April, 18535,Dusing the last century he was naturatly a frequent visitor at his uncle's honfé, atid sometimes went to Mt. Vernon. He wag about twenty-nine years of age when his uncle Lund died. I have often heard’ him’ speak of Hayfield, of his uncle and aunt, and of General Washing- ton, whom he personally knew. I am con- fident that if General Washington had puilt the family mansion at Hayfield, or ever owned the estate, he wou!d have men- it. tetpon the death of Mr. Lund Washing- ton, in 1796, the estate of Hayfield passed to his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Wushington, and on her death it went to her nephew, Mr. Hayward Foote. This gentleman was tiving there on the occasion of a visit I made with my father about the year 1835 to Hayfield. Although then a mere boy I recall very vividly my impressions of the mansion. It had an ancient, dingy and rather gloomy look to my boyish eyes. The charm for me consisted only in its recol- lections and associations. The lights were fied. The home no longer belonged: to the Washingtons. It must, however, always be en object of interest to the public as tl residence of one of General Washington's nearest neighbors and most trusted friends, ard a house where the former was often a guest. On the death of Mr. Hayward Foote and his wife the property passed from the con- trol of any member or connection of the Washington family. If it was ever occu- pied by a Mr. Lewis Washington, it must have been since that time, but I am not acquainted with the modern transfers of the plantation. It is enough for me to re- call the ownership of the early proprietor, whose character and abilities and asso- clations have given it its distinction and interest to the public. The late Bishop Meade is the author of two most delightful volumes descriptive of the old churches and families of Virginia. This work was prompted by his Episcopal visitations. It is to be regretted that some ene with more leisure and opportunity than be did not supplement his work on a comprehensive plan and include in it some account of the noteworthy country houses of the old commonwealth. These struc- tures are decaying with time, but not so rapidly as the true history of their occu- Pancy and associations. L. Q. WASHINGTON. ———._—_ WHAT IS AN ESQUIRE? A Title Which Everybody Thinks He Owna—Who Are “Honorable?” From the New York Tribune. What is an esauire? Not one in ten thousand of the people who daily make use of its abbreviated form in addressing let- ters has even the faintest idea of the real meaning and importance of the term;, the majority of them, indeed, have probably never given the matter a thought—no more than they have to the title “Mr.” or “Mrs.” Still less is it understood by forelgners, to whom it. is a never-failing source of per- plexity, and who, in their courteous an- xlety to do the right thing, often add the word “esquire” in full to a name already adorned with the prefix of “Mr.” Strictly speaking, the word “esquire” ‘s @ nobillary title, a fact which will doubt- less astonish many of those worthy Ameri- cans who, while professing a truly republi- can contempt for such “‘gewgaws” as hon- orific distinctions, make a constant and daily use of the term. It is the English equivalent of the German “Edler” with the particle “von” of the French “gentil- homme” with the particle “de,” of the Spanish “Hidalgo” and of the Portuguese “Fidalgo.” Being a nobiliary title, only a limited number of people have a legal right thereto. They may be divided into two classes, namely, those who are es- quires by virtue of inheritance and ‘those who are esquires ex-officio. The latter comprise duly ordained divines of the Church of England, judges, deputy leu- tenants of counties and commissioned offi- cers of the army and nevy, lawyers. The nobility of these, being ex-officio, is of @ purely personal nature and cannot be transmitted to their children, who have therefore no legal right to their father’s title of esquire. The other esquires are elther persons who have received from the crown a grant of armorial bearings or who are the lineal male descendants, “legally begotten, of the original grantee of the coat of arms,” such, for instance, as Mr. Scrope of Danby, whose ancestor in 1389 was able to prove in a public court that his nobility was far superior to that of the Grosvenors, although he himself remains “G. Scrope, esq.,” while the present chief of the Gros- venors bears the title of Duke of West- minster. Sir Bernard Burke, perhaps the greatest heraldic authority of the present century, declares that “peers, baronets and esquires entitled by inheritance to ar- morial bearings constitute the nobility of the country.” = Physicians, professors, actors, bankers, journalists, manufacturers, merchants, etc., are none of them entitled ex-officio to the addition of the word “esquire” to their name, and cannot put forward any claim or pretension thereto. If it is accorded to them it 1s merely by courtesy, a wish to please them by addressing them with a title which does not belong to them, but for which they long Just on this particu- lar ground it is used more frequently In addressing people of this viass than these who are esquires by right. Thus you may address the Duke of Norfolk's cousin, Hen- ry Howard, who, besides being a member of the Order of the Bath, Is minister plen- ipotentiary and first secretary of the Brit- ish embassy at Paris, as “Mr.” Howard without danger of incurriffg his wrath; but woe betide yom if you dare use the prefix “Mr.” In directing even the most informal communication to Harry Jones or Thomas Smith. Another title of this kind which Is a source of no end of perplexity and misuse is the prefix of “honorable,” which belongs by custom and unwritten law to the young- er sors of earls and to all the children of viscounts and barons. It is a distinction purely personal, and, unlike other titles of the same king, cannot be shared by the wife if she happens to be the daughter of @ commoner. Thus, Lord Carrington’s younger brother “Bill” is Colonel the Hon. William Corrington, but his American wife is plain Mis. Carrington, without the title of honorable. And whereas Lord Cran- brook’a youngest daughter Margaret is the Hon. Mrs. Goschen, her husband is plain Mr. George Goschen, and in no way hon- orable—I mean, of course, in the titular sense. The prefix in question is used only in addressing a letter, and never under any circumstances upon a visiting card. Indeed, the youth who was held by the immigration authorities at Ellis Island the other day, end who claimed to be the son of an English peer, backing up his statements by the display of visiting cards inscribed with the predicate of honorable, stamped himself ipso facto as a vulgar impostor. If you address a letter t son of a peer, you drop the “Mr.” ai merely prefix “The Hon.” to his Christiai name, as, for instance, “The Hon. Rupert Craven.” In the case of an unmarried daughter of a peer, the same rule applies— you drop the “Miss” and content yourself with prefixing “‘The Hon.” Lord Alington’s youngest daughter being addressed in cor- Frespondence as “The Hon. Mabel Sturt.” But if the peer’s daughter happens to be married, then the abbreviation “Hon.” prefixed to the predicate of “‘Mrs., “The Hon. Mrs. Hardinge.”” . Besides these there are two other classes of people who have a right to the title of “honorable;” not by birth, however, but by virtue of thet: office. "They are the matds of honor and bedchamber women of the queen, and colonial legislators. Every married lady who joins the queen’s house- hold in the capacity of a bedchamber wo- man, or young girl who !s appointed maid of honor, becomes from that moment an “honorable” just as if she was’ a peer's daughter, and retains the distinction throughout her life, no matter how long she holds her office at court. The colonial legislator is entitled to be addressed as an “honorable” only while he retains his seat in the colonial parliament, and {s distin- guished from the peer’s son by the fact that in his case the “Hon.” is prefixed to the word “Mr.” In cor-clusion it may be well to draw at- tention to the distinction that exists be- taveen the nobility and the peerage, two terms that, contrary to general opinion, are by no means synonymous, since thers are many aristocrats who not only are not peers, but are even devoid of any title whatsoever. This is a matter about which @ great deal of misconception prevails, particularly in this country. The aristoc- Tracy may be said to consist exclusively of persons who have inherited in a direct line from more or less remote ancestors the right to armorial bearings, originally con- ceded by some scvereign or other and duly registered by the various official colleges of heralds in Europe. ——_+-o+____ Pushed Of a Moving Jrati Mrs. Mary Prudan had a narrow escape from death last night while returning to her home in Pittsburg, from a lawn fete given on the line of the Pennsylvania road. She has made an information charging her husband, Harry Prudan, with throwing her from the train with the intention of causing her death. The Prudans have been married two years, but have been living apart nearly all that time. Mrs. Prudan says her husband induced a mutual friend to invite her to accompany him to the lawn fete. She kept away from him, but on the train homeward, while she was standing on the platform, the hus- band, she alleges, Celiberately hurled her from the train, She fell on her head and was found some time after the train had passed in a dazed condition at the side of the railroad. —+e2+—_—____ Teachers May Wear Bloomers.

THINGS HEARD AND SEEN That was an awfully clever woman, and ber husband gave ‘her a $20 gold piece for her wit. As she passed through the door of one of our large dry goods stores she stooped and picked up a $10 bill, which she had almost stepped on. With a natural in- stinct of honesty, she involuntarily looked around, expecting to see the owner rushing up, with gratitude written all over her coun- tenance, and claim the treasure. But, no; everybody was absorbed in his own busi- ness, end the crowd surging in and out had not even noticed her. A little fright- ened and excited, she crumpled the bill in her hand, and started to raise her parasol. A tan whom she remembered to have seen come across from the other side of the street stspped quickly up to her, say- ing: “Excuse me, madam, that was my Money you picked up.” Her first impulse was, of course, to hand over the bill and pass dn. But she had her wits about her. “How do you know it is your money?” she inquired. “Because I just dropped It here.” “Then tell me how you can identify it, and I'll hand it to you,” said she, with a pretty smile. For answer he beckoned to the proprietor, who stepped forward. The man told him the circumstances. He would easily settle it. The lady should leave the $10 with him, and if no one properly identified it in a week he would send it up to the lady, if she -would give him her address. Very clever! But the lady was more so. She gave her name and her address, and told the two gentlemen she would deliver ft to any one who called for ft and identified the bill to her satisfaction. So saying, she gathered her dainty skirts together and tripped off to her husband’s office to ask if she had done right. He patted her on the back, gave her the gold piece, and told her he was proud of her. Needless to say, no one has ever called for the $10. There was a veritable tempest in a tea pot among the ladies in a suburban sec- tion. It was brewed over an incipient case of measles, the unfortunate and unoffend- ing lttle one who caused the trouble not beir.g within half a mite of the scene of action. 2 The wife of one’ of the residents had a friend from the north visiting her, and de- cided to give a rather elaborate afternoon affair in her guest’s honor. These after- noon affairs, “whist matinees” usually, by | the way, are the favorite entertainment of the ladies on Columbia Heights. Among those invited on this occasion was a wo- man who Is particularly fond of a “mati- nee,” and makes it a point neveg to miss- one when she is invited. As she entertains @ great deal herself and knows how to do it as it should be done, she is kept pretty constantly on the go. Now, she was especially anxious to at- tend the affair, but one of her babies had‘ just developed a case of measles. She asked her husband to tell her whether to go or not. Like most other men, he ab- solutely declined to take any such rerpon+ sibility, saying she should do as she thought best. She appealed to the doctor on his next visit, who, for want fa bet- ter suggestion sald: “‘Ask- your hostess, she {fs the one to tell vou what to do.” She acted at once upon the idea. In her note thanking her friend “for her kind invita- tion,” she said: “I should so much like to but baby has the measies—very , of course—and if you don’t mind I'll come any way, as the doctor says it would be all right.” To say that the expectant hostess was startled would put it mildly, indeed. She replied, however, saying about the only thing she could say, that she wasn’t afraid herself, but she didn’t know how her other guests might feel. She closed with the re- mark that her correspondent must use her own good judgment. Well, that was exactly what she did. Nearly all the guests had arrived and everything was merry and gay, when the mother of the sick child was announced. A lady on the opposite side of the room looked up, gave a little shriek and fied to the back parlor, followed by several so- Heltous friends. One by one they learned that a bomb of measles had been thrown in their midst. Before the lady had passed her greetings around the front parlor the back parlor was empty. In as many min- utes more the hostess, her visitor, the mother, and two ladies who had no children and thought the measles quite harmless, were all that remained of the merry com- pany. Realizing what it ail meant, and, while her companions were still speechless with astonishment, the mother burst into tears and beat a hasty retreat. Here is another of the thousand and one pretty little stories to be told of Mrs. Grover Cleveland. That Is, “to be told” when they are known, but our President's wife does these kindly things in such an unassuming way, and cares so little whether or not she is praised for it, that vutsiders would never hecr them through her or her farrily. During Mr. Cleveland's first administra- tion, while the family was at Oak View one summer, Mrs. Cleveland learned of the long and tedious iliness of ene of the neighbors. The invalid was the wife of a minister presiding over one of the country churches In that vicinity. Their hovse was on the Tenleytown road, and not far from Oak View. Mrs. Cleveland at once sent a servant to make inquiry and to take the | 50me flowers. On many occasions after- ward flowers were sent, sometimes from the White House conservatories and some- times from her own flower beds at Oak View. Once she herself carried a huge bunch of fresh field daisies. She learned on that visit that the physician had sald his patient should go out to drive every day in pleasant weather. She knew at once the reason why the invalid had not taken ad- vantage of the lovely spring days. The Parson owned nothing for his wife to drive in, and hiring was too expensive. Next day Mrs. Cleveland drove over in her phaetcn, bringing the never-failing bunch of fresh flowers, and took the lady for a drive in the country. Next day again she came, and each pleasant day after that found the Cleveland carriage or phae- ton, whichever the mistress fancied, at the door of the minister's cottage, and usually with the first lady of the land seated in it. So many drives these ladies had together they could net count them. When the Clevelands left their summer home that season they were genuinely missed, although the sick woman had re- covered her health and strength, thanks to the daily outing im a luxurioys vehicle. The choicest possession now of this min- ister’s family is a Bible, with a great many flowers of various kinds prersed in it. From the daisies to hot house-raised or- chids one out of every bunch sent by Mrs. Cleveland has begn preserved. Skits Ses The Oculist’s Ruse. From Leonard's Tlustrated Mefical Journal. Here is an interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by an oculist. It appears that in a large factory, In whic were employed several hundred persons, one of the workmen, in wielding his ham- mer, carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half way across the room and struck a fellow-workingman in the left eye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow, although a care- ful examination failed to reveal any in- jury, there being not a scratch visible. He brought suit In the courts for compensa- tion for the loss of half of his eyesight, and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law the owner of the factory was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind, and although he believed that the man was shamming and that the whcle case was an attempt at swindling, he had about made up his mind that he would be compelled to pay the claim. The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist, retained for the defense, examined the alleged injured member and gave it as his opinion that it Was as good as the right eye. Upon the plaintiff's loud protest of nis inability to see with the left eye, the oculist proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the falsity of his claim. And how do you suppose he did it? Why, simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined make black. He prv- cured a black card on which a few words were written with green ink. Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on a palr of spectacles with two different glasses, the one for the the one for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed him and he was ordered to read the writing on it. ‘This he did without hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. The sound right eye, fitted with red glass, was unable to distinguish the green writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pretended was cightless was the one with which the reading had to be Feeding the Nerves.
