Blaine, the celebrated statesman, buried his son Walker at Oak Hill cemetery he selected a site for his own grave. This site, which was afterward used as his place of burial, is located near the front entrance to the cemetery, and was formerly conspicuous by the presence near it of a dead oak tree. At the time Mr. Blaine remarked that the blasted tree aptly represented nis hopes in lifs, and he made the request that nothing but this tree should mark his last resting place. His wish in this respect has been faithfully ob- served up to date, and the tree has been the sole monument to the remains of the illustrious deceased. Some months ago, during a heavy wind storm, the blasted tree was considerably shattered, spoiling the beauty that existed in it to the eye of a gcod many persons. After carefully weighing the matter Mrs. Blaine came to the conclusion that the grave should be suitably marked. Accord- ingly about six months ago she ordered a duplicate of the Walker Blaine headstone, through a local monumental firm, to be placed at her husband’s grave. On account of the fine quality of marble desired, which exists In small thin stretas or layers in the green mountain statethe Washington firm has only just been able to secure a sultable block, which is now bping @ppropriately in- scribed, preparatory 4b itsjerection at the head of the grave. THe stgne is eight fect high, and 1s of the sfmplest design, devoid of any ornamentation. It is said that it took five months to secure-a piece of mar- ble suitable for the Blaing monument. It will be placed in position within the next ten days. The inscripticn consists of sim- ply the name, date and place of birth and date and place of death. The Sick Volunteers. First Sergeant W. M.

The Old Steamer Mary Weshirg*on to Be * Fitted Up. Towed to the Shore to the Railroad Embenkment—Stories Told About It. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., Octob-r 17, 1898. What will probably turn out to be an- other gambling den is in readiness to be opened in Alexandria county, and this time it is almost within the suburbs of the city. A scheme, bold, novel and attractive, has been employed in order to establish this joint, the credit for which undertaking b longs to the well-known sporting man Hloltz- man of Washington. Under his hands the old steamer Mary Washington has added a new chapter to her long and curious history. With laborious effort, Holtzman and a col- ored assistant dragged the old hulk of the steamer from the entrance of Four Mile run to the railroad embankment, where she is lashed to the shore, and fitted up for con- ducting a liquor and gambling hole in full blast. The boat is lying in the cove in shoal water, exposed to full view from the rail- yay is in process of con- struction, 3 n now customers are as- ed on board, where liquor is as yet the principal attraction. In reply to questions trom a railroad official at the power house nearby, Holtzman stated that he had simply brought in his craft to get her out of the ice Unis winter, and that it was his inten- tion to entert ain his friends on rd ina social way during the winter evenings, and especially on Sundays. To some of the em- ployes, however, he told a different story, and that was In substance the real object of his undertaking. Revenled His Plans. Friday night Holtzman was visited by a Star reporter, who, of course, concealed his office and mission. Holtzman was found hard at work on the causeway, and, after clearing his mind of suspicion, gave the visitor a most cordial reception. He was communicative and after talking for some time grew confidential and finally proceed- ed to di his plans. He was there, he said, to do business and considered it the opportunity of a lifetime. A bar would, of cou be conducted and a number of Washington sporting men would give it their patronage. “But what about games?” he was asked. “Well,” he replied, some- what evasively, “if the people take to my place they may be conducted later on.” In the event of a good opportunity offering, he said that the boat's deck would be boarded up all around and the inclosure fitted up snugly, in which poker, keno and the like would be played. He expected a large crowd down from Washington on Sunday, who were coming for the purpose of having a big time and making an inspec- tion. In the meantime, he said, the gang- way would be completed and the old boat swung around sideways, so that the en- trance would be from the river side. Didn't Fear County Officialn. “But aren’t you afraid of being raided?” he was asked. “Not at all,” Holtzman re- plied. “I know the sheriff. He is a first- rate fellow, and will never interfere with a man trying to make his living. He will not bother us unless it 1s in order to hold his job, when somebody makes complaint.” ‘The railroad officials, he declared, would be no menace to his safety. A great deal of travel would probably come over the electric road. In addition, he said, he had received information that hundreds of peo- ple were in the habit of gathering in the vicinity of Four Mile run on some Sundays and purchasing liquor from wagons, and that this went on without any trouble at all from the county authoritles. Therefore he felt secure in that respect. To these highly advantageous conditions he went on to add reasons why his future success was insured. He was well known among the sporting fraternity of Washington: the sit- uation was within easy access of the city and but a step from the railroad, and the old Mary Washington was admirably fitted for the business which he proposed to conduct. Railroad Men's Account. At the power house the reporter was told by the company’s employes that Holtzman had dragged his boat up to the landing one week ago and had kept pretty close to her since. He had had some trouble with a negro employe about breaking into the bar room, for which he was discharged and another hired in his place. They asserted the belief that the hold of the boat was at that time filled with gambling parapherna- lia, and said that Holtzman had made no secret to thdm of his intention to conduct a gambling}den. They also stated that liquor was frequently sold in the vicinity from wagon? on Sundays. Holtzman had also told them of the large party that he expected on Sunday. To the remark that a more sequestered location should have been selected the men replied that Holtzman was excessively bold with his enterpris n , even to the verge ot advertising his place. So far as has been learned no action whatever has been taken in this affair, now of a week's standing, by the authoritfes, >—— PALMER WILL VOTE FOR MILL: Leader of Gold Democrats Prefers Re- publicanism to Bryanism. A special to the New York Tribune dated Decatur, ll, October 16, says: During the last week there has been misrepresentation in the press of the state as to the attitude of ex-Senator John M. Palmer in reference to the money question, the free silver democratic leaders trying to make capital of @ story emanating from Chicago that Palmer intended to vote the straight party ticket. He is toge in Decatur next Thurs day night to preside at a republican meet- ing to be addressed by W. D. Bynum, one of the democratic sound money leaders. These letters explain Mr. Palmer's position: SPRINGFIELD, Ill, October 13, 1808. John W. Sanner, Decatur: Dear Sir: In swer to your letter of Oc- 2 I send you a copy of a letter which ave just written to Mr. Usher of Wis- consin, which you are at liberty to publish if you think proper. JOHN M. PALMER. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, October 13, 1898. Ellis B. Usher, Lacrosse, Wis.: < your interesting letter, and I answer it at once. I am a democrat in all of my sympathies and affections, and would greatly prefer to vote for the rep- resentative men of that party. At present the democratic is the minority party, and cannot, if it would, control the policy of the country. Therefore, it accepts for its lead- ers shallow pretenders who, like Mr. Bryan and Governor Stone, can promise it only local success, and its platforms and prin- ciples, like those of Chicago adopted in 1806, are a mere snarl at existing condi- tions, without presenting any scheme for political or social improvement. The Chicago platform is the mere echo of the ill-temper of those who adhere to it, and commits the demccratic party to the ccinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with enforced legal tender quality. Its ad- vocates propose to reduce the price of gold or the gold standard “some” and to ad- vance the price of silver “some,” and the point at which the depreciation of the price of gold and the enhancement of the price of silver will meet will be the standard of values in this country, forgetful of the fact that the more valuable metal will disap- pear from circulation. I will not support any candidate who favors the coinage of silver on the ratio of 16 to 1, with enforced legal-tender quality. I adhere to the Indianapolis platform. 1 am a Cleveland democrat, and I believe that if the party had adhered to the pcl- icy of the Wilson bill and sound money it would have succeeded in the presidential election of 1896 and would have controlled the government now. Its folly was to com- mit itself to the Chicago platform in 1896 in opposition to sounder opinions, It was dominated by mere resentments, and was unconsciously dishonest, as it proposed to revolutionize and Mexicanize the standard of values of the United States. . I beg you to be assured that no sound money democrat can under any circum- stances, in my judgment, vote for any rep- resentative man who is not in favor of sound, honest money. I will vote for Isaac R. Mills, the republican candidate for Con- gress in the seventeenth Illinois district, on the issue of sound money, as we have no candidate of our own. JOHN M. PALMER, Minister Romero expects to return from Mexico earty in November. He has lately been suffering from fever and was obliged to leave the City of Mexico for a change of ciimate. He has now returned there much improved. The construction of the vault in the Dolores cemetery, where the remains of his late wife are to be placed, approach- es completion, and his prolonged stay in Mexico is on that account.
