every yesr Is the Mecca of thousand of. worshlppTs cf liberty, who come frm all part of this country and of the clviilxfd world to pay tribute to the memory of tas great apotU of freedom and Jefferson selected the site for Ms home with great care. The place he choao was near Ma b.rthplace Shad well, Albemarle County, Va. It was on one of th highest points of the gently sloping Blue Ki'dge Mountains, far enough away from the t)wn to Jeav hem surrounded by nature. In going to Montinello now one passes through tha peaceful village of Charlottesville, and then begins to ascent) the mountain, on a roaJ that in and out among the trees, occasionally overlooking the valley, and slopes so gently and smoothly upward that one scarcely realizes the height to which ho goes.

Tne lodge, three miles from the viUage, Is reached after a sudden turn in the road. The visitor will probably meet many vehicles before he reaches It. At the gate an old nero. descendant of some of the original retainers at Monticello, answers the bell. Invite the visitors In, and rings a bell to notify the people in the house that more are coming.

The drive to the house is even more beautiful than the taking the party over almost a rn lie of driveway, Inclosed with velvety lawn, and running between the tree a. Occasionally a glimpae will be caught of some uf the deer In which' the park Is stocked. The house was' the product of the culture and love of beauty of Jefferson, who designed It- and superintended the work upon It. The Dorio stylo Is seen all through the house, with itt. four massive, columns on the south front, and the heavy cornices and massive balustrades.

The Ionic style, however. Is seen la totns of the rooms, especially those intended for public uae. Here and there are touch? of other styles of architecture which embellish the simplicity cf the Grecian work. Down the centre of the houA runs the wide hall, reaching upward to the roof and Laving a gallery on the second floor. From this gallery- open the large; ballroom and the hospitable bedrooms, cf which there are many.

The great drifting room, so large that It prvjecis over twenty feet out from the house proper. Is on the first floor. Here also were Jefferson's library and bedroom. The Hoor of the drawing room, still bearing its age well, wae laid with ten-Inch blocks of wild cherry, a very beautiful hardwood that can be highly polished- A contrast Is made on the border of each block by a thin strip of white beech. Over the extension of the drawing- room ts a portico surmounted by a billiard room.

IJverythins in the house was arrange! with the idea of furnishing the comforts demanded by a man of re line merit and position among tha first families of Virginia. Perhaps the most important event In the history of the drawing room was the marriage of Jefferson's eldest daughter. Martha, to Thomas. Mann Rirntlulph of Tuckahoe, Feb. Zi.

17'JO, when there was great festivity. The grave of Jefferson ta in sight from the driveway between the house and f.he lodge. In fitting his tomb his wishes were carried out. They were found written out, among his private papers, after his death. The message read: Could the dead feel any Interest tn menu or their incumbrances, the following would be to my manes the moat gratifying: On my grave a piaia dia or cuUa of three feet, without as aac tnr moMinit.

My bust bj Ceracci, the pedestal, and truncated column on which it stands, will he irleen to the universify If they will place It tn Ike dome of the rotunda. The roughness of the tjtone, however, was not protection. Relic hunters regarded the monument aa their most valuable prize, and chipped pieces from It until It was almost worn away, and Congress waa compelled, to replace It. At length the Government tardily made provision to prevent such desecration In the future, and Inclosed the monument aocn after it was re-erected, now x.lue ye-irs aro. The entrance to the inctoaure is through mawslve bronze gates, having on them the coat of arms of the of Virginia.

The new monument Is of white marble- Atter bis travels In Europe, JefTemon crought to his home many things he had coiitvtl there, and auded much beauty to It. He had portraits of ra-n of his day ari rnary valuable books tn his library. The house was bettun in IT71. but the owrer -was so tuny attending to his publto duties that he was not able always to be there, end the work dragged along for two yesr.

The story of Jefferson's last days, when the troubles of friend brought him Into poverty, is well known.

Monticello was kept by Mrs. Randolph. JefTerson's daughter, for many years. She aold all but Smo acres of the land in small pieces, and finally exchanged the home for a home In Charlottesville valued at Jo.t). The purchaser was a Mr.

Barclay. In whom re-verence was vastly subordinate thrift. He began cutting down th? beautiful, state-lv trees and planting mulberry trees, his-lie being to start silk culture. His career of devastation was stopped by Lieut. Levy of the navy, who bought Montlcello and lived there until his death.

He willed the property to the Federal Government or.

W. B. WHEELER FAILURE OSCE MOST ACTIVE STOCK-TRADIXG FIRM IX WALL STREET.

'Xo'Coatraets it the Stork Eisf and Liabilities Sot Heavy To Make Assls-nmemt Ts-dsy. W. B. Wheeler at one ttme the most active stock-trading firm In, Wall Street, sent word to the Stock Exchange yesterday that they were unable to meet their obligations. The firm had no contracts at the Exchange, nor were tt outside liabUl-tie large.

Since It condition had not escaped rumors, comments on the announcement were of sympathy and. regret rather than, of surprise. Aa assignment will be made to-daf, WUllam B. Wheeler, aenlor member of the firm, won a reputation year ago as a bold and successful operator. Hi membership In the Stock Exchange date lack July.

1S74. Fifteen year ago 2ie had become prominent. Addison Cammack thought well of hi Judgment and pluck that he went Into atock operation on joint account with him. It was understood also that Mr. Wheeler executed order for Mr.

Cammack, although Mr. Wheeler preferred room trading on hi own account rather than taking- commission from customer. His boldest play wer made on the bear side of the market Ji ef held the lead among trader for year, and waa reputed wealthy. On his return from Europe about on vear ago he gave a bull interv enr which was widely quoted. It is believed boue-ht stock then, but the advance halted so often and made such slow progress for a time that he seems to have concluded, that It could not hold.

After he had put out a large line of short contract onthU convtction the market bounded upward rapidly, and his resource became Practically exhausted. He tried to recover by borrowing money and buying when tooks w-re high. The December slump caught hira again, and rumor of financial atraits first attached to his name. sinc then the firm has done little in the market The extent of the reverse it had suffered were Illustrated in the suspension, which Is said to have been caused bj a call for alO.OOO, the amount of a loan to the firm bv a member of the 8toclc Exchange. It was not possible to meet tne caL Wheeler is said also to have borrowed from a relative, giving as collateral a lif Insurance policy for The firm consisted of Mr.

Wheeler and Emil Guillaudeu. It was organized May 1-7. and It bad an office at 6 Broad-wav Mr. Gulliaudeu attended to office work only. Speaking of the cause of the failure, Mr.

Wheeler said; "Our failure Is due to our inability to collect old debts and to dry ret. The debt are stock accounts on the books. I have, however, no recriminations for any one. Our reputation was injured some months ago by rumors that were circulated in all Street that we were In difficulty. -will make an assignment, though the detail have not yet been fully arranged.

xhe failure will be a email one a such things go. Had It occurred some yeara baok It might have been big. We have no ouwtandlng contracts on the Exchange at the present time. I cannot give figure as to liabilities and assets." Mr Wheeler genial disposition -tnade him "a favorite among brokers, who put him at the front In diversions in which they are prone to engage. He was one of the Wall tstreet 00 in pan which backed the Xew-York Bast-ball Club prior to last season, and it waa his habit to take his office force -and enough other to make a good paxty to every gam at the Polo Ground.

L. i w. 50T JLYXIOUS TO BUT. Satisfied to Mold a Le-aee of the Ho bo ken Ferry. Nothing could te learned in Wall Street yesterday to support the rumor wSxicn started Saturday in Hobcken that the Ho-boken Ferry fca-3 been oU to a company of clown-town capitalists.

At the office of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company It wa ald the company had a satisfactory leas of the ferry, and had not latUy been a bidder for lb An effort In thia direction waa madesom time ago. but valuations varied so widely that the Lackawanna Director preferred to continue under the lease.

POCCHKEEPSIE BRIDGE. Aa Assessed Valaatioa of Complaiaed of by tha Company. PoUGHKrsiz. April 13. The Poughkeep-sle Bridge is assessed at although it cost tS.oOO.tMi to build.

The amount of the assessment is objected to by th counsel because it la luo.OCO mora than the assessment of last year. The taxes due the city iww amount to ly.iXio. and as the tim for payment expired some tlm ago, a St I er cent, penalty haabeen added, and interest at the rat of 1 per cent, a month Ik being charged against the bridge company. Unless a settlement Is made, step will be taken to advertise the brt and sell It at auction. Before that contingency arrives, however, it 1 likely that the brtdjra.
