VICE PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE The residence of Mr. Francis G. Newlands at Chevy Chase, which has been leased by Secretary Gage for a summer residence, is just across the District line, and from its position overlooks the rolling meadows that cut their outlines against the distant blue and silver of the Virginia hills and the waters of the Potomac. The house was one of the first erected by the Chevy Chase Company, and is an ideal country seat. It is surrounded by a velvety lawn covering over one hundred thousand square feet of ground, and is just north of the Chevy Chase circle at the angle of Connec- ticut avenue and Columbia boulevard. Realizing that the cabinet cannot expect to be absent from the capital for any great length of fime the coming summer, Secre- tary Gage wanted a residence which would combine some of the charms of country life and easy distance of the city. When that Secretary Atger’s Residence. a senator from Louisiana, and his wife was umong the ‘teading matrons in society at the capital during their residence there. One of the far-back cabinet officers made it a home, and the house nas had a num- ber of other, distinguished tenants, who, like Col. and Mrs. Lamont, were charmed with its splendid location and put up with many other drawbacks because of its de- sirability in that respect. Whether public or private celebrities have had poss ‘ion, there are few houses over whose portals taore famous people have passed. The in- terior is simple and the wood work is painted white. On the first floor are the two drawing rooms, the library and dining room. Mrs. Alger has entirely transformed the appearance of these rvuoms by hanging some of the fine pictues from their De- troit home and in placing around many handsome ornaments, so that the house has an air of persoral ownership even pend- ing the arrival of all of her own furniture. The furniture now in the house belongs to Col. Lamont, and will not be removed until the latter part of August. On the second floor there are five bed rooms and three trore with servants’ rooms and store! rooms. on the top floor. The house has broad verandas reaching up two stories on the rear, which are useful when large parcies ure given, and make cozy annexes to the @rawing room and dining room.

The house has extensive lawns, pretty walks and beautiful shrubbery about it, and if any fault‘ at all could be found with the ex- terior setting, it would be to remark the absence of trees in close proximity. Fhe house has a broad. comfortable appearance and covers a great deal of ground. The entrance faces north, but the living room: enjcy all the charm of a southern expo: ure. Broad verandas, are on ail but on ihe south front, add in seas weather, a large room, under a canv. roof, where suitable furnishings an plants contribute to the general home-like effect. Over the threshold at the north entrance, is the vestibule opening into a bread hall, which, like country houses gen- «cally, is quite the feature. It has a great fireplace and is furnished with cdd chairs and cozy corners. On the right there are two rooms, the windows of which face nerth ind west. The first and smaller one was intended as a reception room, but is now a prettily arranged annex to the drawing room adjoining. This room is fur- nished in modern style, light, dainty and attractive.

COPE’S PHILOSOPHY. His Belief in the Survival and Origin f Fitness. From the New York Post. Ay an evolutionary philosopher Prof. Cope is widely known as the leader of the Neo- Lamarckian school in this country, and, a historic paraliel, it is noteworthy that in this sphere he has shown many of the bri liant qualities as well as certain of the de- ficiencies in logic which characterized the great French predecessor of Darwin. He was attracted to Lamarck’s theory by the magnet which has led all American pale- ontologists to the same school, namely, by the definite or determinate direction of the evolution of fossil animals in all their parts, and by the further fact that this di- rection coincides with the influences of habit, growth and environment. Thus, in the preface of his first collected philosophi- cal essays, the ‘Origin of the Fittest,” he says the important point is not only the survival, but the origin of fitness, and this he traces to*the inheritance of individual reaction to environment. The powerful as- sault by Weismann in 1882 upon such in- heritance did not dismay Cope in the least; he has simply rested upon the facts of paleontology as demonstrating the actual- ity of such transmission, and has proposed a purely hypothetical heredity theory of his own, entitled “‘Diplogenesis.” Much of his reasoning from the facts is, however, as unsound as Lamarck’s was, and has opened him to equally severe criticism. Like this philosopher, again, he has en- throned Consciousness on Archaesthetism, as a prime factor in evolution, and in its highest form, mind, has given it the fore- most place as an evolution factor. We can- not here speak in detail of all the numer- ous manifestations of this vigorous intel- lectual life. His duties and responsibilities as chief editor of the ‘American Natural- ist” would alcne have filled the time ef an ordinary worker; but tis capacity seemed perfectly tireless, and only a week ago, after two months of ftermittent iliness, the writer found hini’ if perfect mentai health. aici His house in Pine street, Philadelphia, is as unique as his life, stored from cellar to garret with his wonderful collections, heavily dust-laden. 18) Own room, like Huxley's study, is piled ‘waist high with pamphlets, fossils and alcoholic specimens, chaos to the visitor, but perfect order in his own mind. Occasionally an aged tor- toise would wander oyt,from beneath the pelvis of a saurian, and’fis latest pet was a gila-monster, who, contrary to the popu- lar belief, was perf harmless, Sceretary Gage’s Town House. Secretary and Mrs. Gage are now occu- py:ng the Aldis house, Connecticut avenue, where many Washingtonians have made their acquaintance. The house is a very artistic one. The library, which faces Connecticut avenue and Dupont Circle, is an especially attractive room, and its di: tinguished transient occupants have great- ly enjoyed their residence there. Vice President Hobart’s home the next four years will be 21 Lafayette square, and he will be comfortably located by the Ist of May, and perhaps sooner. The house is owned by ex-Senator Cameron, and is one of the few old houses identified with the sccial life of the early years of the cen- tury. It ranks in the reminiscent mind at the capital with such houses as the Beale, the Blair, the Corcoran and the Slidell hcuses, all of which are in its immediate vicinity. It 1s said to have been built in 1828. As the home of Benjamin Ogle Tay- toe, who held many positions of trust in this country and abroad, and subsequently of his widow, the house has always at- tracted attention. According to the fash- ion of the time of its erection, a high brick wall hemmed in the garden, and this still stands. During the Tayloe occupancy. the heuse was full of interesting curios and ob- fects of art, some of which are now ex- hibited in the Corcoran Art Gallery. Ex- Senator Cameron, when he bought the property some years ago, had the interior almost entirely torn out an? transformed into the modern mansion it stands today. A new entrance was built on the north. The front entrance is under a projecting Here Prof. Cope, was always to be found, keen with interest for everything in the world of ratural.science, a cham- pion of the supremacy of, intellectual over material forces, a free, lance in scientific criticism. Here he Shower heroic fortitude. through years of adversity 4nd financial reverses, and endured uncomplainingly the terrible suffering which preceded his final collapse. His devoted wife and daughter rightly felt that it was fitting for him to pass away amid these surroundings rather than to have him removed to a hospital. The féws of his early death will be ceived with deep regret by naturals 1 over the world, and with deep sorrow by his friends and admirers in this country.
