HE NEW AND
popular way of
making the great
American pilgrim-
age to the home
and tomb of Wash-
ington Is by way of
the ancient, sleepy
.and qtui^vt old
towrf of Alexan-
dria.
Every foot of the
now electric road
after it leaves
Alexandria leads through historic
(ground. To the right, and prominent
in the landscape, i.s the tall spire of
the Episcopal Theological Seminary,
Which was the focal point of McClel-
lan"8 army, when the later was organ-
izing for the Chick.ihciuiiiy campaign.
Around it on all itdw were the
of the army. The numerous remains
of their retrenchments, earthworks and
other defenses are still prominent at
every turn for miles. Union forts
frowned from every hilltop and their
outlines are yet- plainly distinguish-
able. Just beyond the seminary, in
plain view up the valley, is Halley'ts
cross roads, remembered by every old
soldier of the Army of the Potomac
ns the scene of the grandest military
spectacle ever witnessed on this con-
tinent, the review by Mr. Lincoln and
his c-tbinet of McClellan's army, when
he had pronounced it ready for the Ill-
starred march to Richmond.
But there are many,points of earlier
Interest. To the right, as the "trolley 1
crossee the bridge over Great Hunting
Creek, is Fort Lyons, the strongest of
all that great cordon which protected
\\ ashlngton in the war days. Near
Fort Lyons Ih ths old bonis still stand-
ing of the seventh Lord Fall(u
Brian Fairfax, who in Washington's
days was rictor of Christ Church at
Alexandria, of which Washington was
a vestryman. The church I.s still on,. , r
the cherished landmarks in Alexandria,
and the edilice with Washington's hi
square pew Is carefully preserved in-
tact. Lord Fairfax's home was called
Mount Eagle, and it is stiir In excellent
preservation. A mile beyond the
bridge and tho road enters the "old
Mount Vernon estate." which in Wash-
ington's day comprised 8,000 acres of as
fine land as ever was known in Vir-
ginia. The estate was divided into Ave
farms, known as River farm, I)ogue
Itun farm. Mansion House farm. Union
farm and Muddy Hole farm. Klv. r
farm, which the railway strikes first
and formerly known as Clifton's ..
was bought by Washington in lTf.O r :•
13 an acre. It consisted of 2,000 u< v s.
The first landmark of revolutionary
Interest that Is reached after entering
upon tho old estate Is Wellington Mail.
It stands about four miles from Alex-
andria, on the I'otomac bank, nnd oc-
cupies a site almost as beautiful as
Mount Vernon. Wellington it.ill was
built by Washington in ITtfc on a por-
tion of the estate comprising tl«>0 b.t. s,
and during his life it was occupied by
Colonel Tobias Lear, who lives in his-
tory as Washington's military secre-
tary and life-long friend. Colonel Lear

the barley ripened lie had It "flailed'
out and loaded on a four-horse waj
and started It for the Alexandria m
ket. "Charley" went on ahead on h<
back to dispose of the load. But barley

Alexandria market and there was i
rale for It; but after a whole day
tramping he succeeded in trading the
load of barley to a brewer for a ba

In his cellar. The news of the transi
tlon leaked out and the same night
dozen of Charley's cronies In Alex*
drla paid a visit to Wellington Hall
where they made a night of it with the
genial proprietor. Before morning they
had disposed of the entire crop of bai
ley.
Charley Washington died In 1R".9. an
the neglected farm passed Into othr
hands. Wellington Hall Is a fram
dwelling, painted white, nnd with th
outbuildings is In good repair. A lam

of the western lawn and walks up i

goes through tliu old mansion. He
looks Into the little, stuffy rooms with
their odd nnd incongruous mixture of
old nnd up-to-date furniture, lie gazes
at the elegant and extremely modern
tinted and gold frescoes, at the rich
and brilliant Persian rugs with which
the ladles of the association have cov-
ered the floors, and he finds It difficult
to Imagine this the home of the immor-

si • ins a great pity that there has boss
such nn effort made to Impress the pub-
lic with the fact that Wishlngton led a
luxurious llfo by means of the rich and
modern trappings they have smuggled
Into the old mansion. Tho splendor of
Washington's life at Mount Vernon was
reflected by his broad acres, by his
hundreds of negroes, including artl-
y. ns and mechanic s of all kinds, by the

and tints in Wahhlngl«>n's day—no wall

whitewashed walls and ceilings. Nor
were there any Harghcstan ruga or Ax-

There Is an outbuilding on t
grounds, which should have given t
well-meaning ladles a hint as to wl
the father of his country used to cover
his floors. The building Is called the
"spinning room" and In It Is a great

New Yoiik, Feb. 10.—It. 0. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Another week's exports of gold and
withdrawals from the treasury have
been almost entirely stopped by the
contract for purchases of gold from
Messrs. Ilolinout and Morgan.
For the moment business only waits
to know whethor sales of Americun |
securities and withdrawals of gold i
from the treasury have been lastingly 1
stopped by the remarkablo increase
of confidence.
Tho two obstacles which block tho i
path just n« iv are exceeding cheap-
ness of farm products and restricted i
operations iu the industries. There ,
has been no gain in prices of farm 1
products on the whole; corn is nomi-
nally |4n higher, but with iusignili- 1
cant movement, while wheat, also, j
with a movement hardly half of last
year's. Uia lower tor the week.
Cotton, with continuing largo re- 1
cvipts. remains unchanged.
Few words toll the old story: The |
corn crop is undeniably short, al-
though probably a much larger
supply than official reports indicate. '
Wheat and cotton supplies are so far j
behind tho world's demands that ex-
treme low prices are natural and any I
speculation for advance is greatly
hundictippcd. Restricted purchases
by the West and South naturally
result.
Continued dullness is reported in
cottons and a reduction of prices by
the AmosUeug mills causes some
hesitation.
