Wahiii.noto.v, Aug. Q. On a hill over
looking tlio capital city, in a houso so old
tlmt nolKHly known when It was built,
lives .Mm. Kutliotlno Chaso. Tlio former
social queen nnd national belle la still ft
lienutirul woman. "Thcro Is only ono
accomplishment of which I am proud,"
slwunys. "and tlmt is tlio art of taking
caro f onu'n solf. I do claim to bo n mas
tor of that art, not only for myself, but
for my children. I am nlwnys well, nnd
for a woman to bo nlways well is in
theso times to bo quito abnormal extra
ordinary. I havo had my sliaro of trou
tiles in this world, but ovon my greatest
troubles I havo endeavored to bear in a
philosophic manner. Since becoming a
farmer I havo learned that it is very bad
policy to borrow inonoy, but- oven bor
rowing money is proforablo to borrowing
troubl . I never borrow either." .
"Then you arc a farmer now?"
"Oh, yes. My placo hero I mnnngo nil
alone. I havo a farmer, but ho works
rnthorlhnn manages. If I had to pay
for suporlntcndcnco I am afraid I
shouldn't mako fanning pay. What I
don't know about farming I try to make
up in caution. All my plana aro very
carefully laid. Hero, bco, I havo sketches
of idl my ileitis. Tlieso I mark just how
I want them plowed and planted, mid
then take good caro that my plans aro
followed. Often I go out into tlio Ileitis
and literally follow tlio plow, walking
along behind tlio farmer as ho turns the
first furrows, wntchlng to bco that ho
lays out tlio ground nicely. Then I como
Into tlio house, go up stairs and look out
tlio windows to hoo how tlio work np
Jwars from a bird's eyo viow."
Mrs. Chase's house stands on a hill
almost in the center of tlio farm, and a
viow from tlio windows brings all tlio
Melds within easy rungo of tho eyo. Ono of
Mrs. Chuso's theories is that with small
additional trouble and no extra expense
n llttlo landscape art can bo applied to
practical agriculture. Though sho has
not as yet worked out nil her ideas in
this direction, ono would havo to travel
n long ways to find a prettier farm than
tho ono which lies along tlio slopes of
Edgowood. Mrs. Chaso not only man
ages tho farm, but gees almost overy day
to town to buy supplies. Everything
that comes to the place is purchased by
hor, from reaper to wrench, from draught
horso to pullet. Sho is a good financier,
and actually manages to mako her farm
ot'somo llfty acres pay a handsomo profit.
It is nn exceedingly valuable farm.
But a mllo from tho o'.ty limits, and only
two miles from tlio Capitol, it Is already
surrounded by suburban villas. An oleo
trio railway runs through tho property,
making it exceedingly desirable as n Eito
for dwellings, nnd ovory day of her llfo
tho handsomo and amiable mistress of
Edgowood Js collc-J upon by reaj estate
operators who want wfrurcHaso tho farm
and subdivide it into lots. Mrs. Chae
Is not ready to sell. Her Idea is that the
farm, for which sho could now got prol
ably $2,000 an acre, will ultimately bring
twico or thrlco as much, and that her
children will, somo years hence, havo
greater need of tho proceeds than thoy
have now. Besides, Mrs. Chaso loves
tho old placo, nnd hopes to lie able to
keep it ns long as bIio lives. It has hal
lowed memories of her father clinging
about it, and Mrs. Chaso's lovo for her
father is deep and tender.
Mrs. Chaso is now engaged upon a task
that could lie fairly called a labor of this
lovo. Sho is writing tho life of her
father, Salmon Portland Chaso. Sho has
been engaged nt this for threo or four
years, and cannot yet say when tho first
volume will appear. "I work very
hard," sho said tho other day whtlo slt
tlng'on tbo veranda of Edgowood houso
looking down upon tho Capitol that was
tho scene of 60 many of her father's tri
umps, "but find Uiat I am making slow
progress. I rarely .retire beforo 2 or 8
o'clock in the morning, becauso I llko to.
work after everybody elsuds asleep and I
know 1 shall not bo disturbed. In this
work I am harassed by a wealth of ma
terial. You nave no Idea or tlio enor
mous quantity of stuff that has poured
in upon me. Letters, newspaper articles
and documents aro stacked up two or
three feet thick all around tho shelves
of my work room. Tlio most precious
material I havo is my father's diary.
Throughout his public career it was his
dnily habit lieforo going to bed to tako
a few minutes or sometimes half an
hour to jot down memoranda concern
ing tho occurrences of tho day. In this
way ho has left behind him a record of
overy cabinet meeting that was held
whllo ho was secretary of tho treasury.
It la a record which cannot bo disputed,
and which 'probably nobody will try to
discuto when it is inado public. This
dlafy I prizo so 11151117, not only be
cause it was kopt by my father, but for
Its' intrinsic worth as a contribution to
history, that I kpep it in a burglar
proof, fireproof vault. Whilo, tho actors
In thoso scenes still lived tho state se
crets recorded in my father's diary
could not havo been inado 'public with
out a violation of tho proprieties. Dut
now that tho men aro dead, tlie diary
does not belong to mo, but to tho coun
try,' and tho country shall have it. A
great deal of my manuscript is finished,
and I hope soon to bo able to get out the
first volutno, though of tho many offers
made to mo by publishers I havo not yet
accepted ono.
"I am working carefully and slowly,
bocauso I do not want a singlo statement
in my book that cannot bo supported by
tho proofs. I do not want to bo com.
polled nftcr publication to wish a singlo
lino of it had been omittod. I am un
willing to write history as Mr. Hay ami
Mr. Nlcolay havo been doing it by tho
distortion of facts, tho quoting of parts
of sentences, the omission of vital words
and other garblings. I cannot afford to
da my work in that manner. It Is my
present intention to issuo tho Ixwk In
two volumes, tho first to deal with tho
period in which my fnther wai a mem
ber of tho Lincoln cabinet. My father's
career was really divided Into four
epochs! First was his natural career as n
Iirlvnto citizen nnd lawyer; then camo
its career as governor of Ohio and sena
tor of tho United States, involving nil
tho great questions of thoso times fitato
rights, Mixsouri compromise nnd tho
Kansas-Nebraska bill) third, and to my
mind most Important of all, was his nor
vlco as a nioinbor of tho government
during tho war and his creation of tho
fiscal system, which historians havo al
ready declared savnl tho Union. My
father's uervices to his country In this
respect linvo, of courso, loon appreciated
in n general way by Ills countrymen,
but tho keenest insight into tho vnhto of
thoso services, tlio licst comprehension
of what thoy signified, I havo found,
oddly enough, nmong distinguished for
eigners, notably Mr. Morgan, founder
and London partner of the great firm of
Droxol, Morg' n & Co."
In tho fort'icomlug volutno Mrs. Chaso
will not pndcavor to glvo many of her
personal recollections of tho great men
and women whom sho has mot on both
sides of tho Atlantic. Sho says sho is
not fond of gossip, and that tho writing
of her recollections would bo to her a
dlfllcult and ungrateful task. Such a
book sho tuny bring out later on, but for
the present her hopes and her energies
nro fustoncd upon tlio llfo of her father.
No one is so competent ns sho to describe
tho career, tho dally llfo and work of tho
great statesman. Uy circumstances as
much as by disposition forced into tho
self reliance of womanhood whllo yet a
mero girl, her father early learned to
trust her witli Ills conlldonco nnd to seek
her advice. When no mora than 14
years old sho was at tho head of
hor father's houso, tho governor's
mansion, at Columbus, O. Even nt that
tender age sho had iniluonco in tho af
fairs of state. Politicians sought her
friendship, nnd mothers and fathers,
eager for pardons for their erring sons,
counted tho bnttlo half won if they could
enlist tho governor's daughter on their
side. Yet sho know her father well
enough to havo a very firm conviction
that it would novcr do to ask him for
clemency on any but tho lwst of grounds,
nnd bo she formed tho habit of carefully
investigating overy enso that was pre
sented to her. When sho tnndo her re
port, cither for or against a pardon, tho
governor usually ratified with his slgna
turo and tho seal of tho stnto tho conclu
sions of his girl minister. Governor
Chaso found tho girl so apt at this work
that ho naturally fell into tho habit of
turning many of his pardon cases over
to her.
"It oftcu wrung my heart to disap
point tho petitioners by handing in an
ndverso report," says Mrs. Chaso. "Thero
was ono case I will remember to my dy
ing day. Tlio mother of a convict camo
to rny houso lo saonio. I was busy al
tlio moment with another caller, and tho
woman Eat down on tho doorstep. Pres
ently our big cat walked up to her purr
Ingly, and tho poor woman seized tho
cat, held it in her arms and said: 'Kitty,
you know tho troublo I am in, don't you?
You would help mo oui of it if you
could, wouldn't you, Kitty?' And then
sho told tho cat tho wholo story of how
her boy had been led Into ovil ways by
bad companions and finally sent to tho
penitentiary. It wasdono sonnturally
hor heart was bo full sho had to pour out
her anguish on somebody that Iwas
deeply allected. But tho circumstances
wero such that I could not recommend
tho young man's pardon."
Miss Chase took warm interest in tho
public institutions of her state. Sho
was known to tho Inmates of tho homes
and asylums, and it Is said that at ono
timo sho know overy prisoner nt tho pen
itentiary by name. Largely through
her efforts, put forth before sho was a
woman, tho Ohio idiot asylum, still a
useful institution, was founded.
"I can hardly remember when my
father did not placo confidence in mo far
beyond my years," says Mrs. Chase.
"When I was a mero chick of u girl,
not moro than 7 or 8, wo lived in tlio
outskirts of Cincinnati, where father
practiced law. Every evening he used
to drive homo along tho turnpiko, ho nnd
I together. Tho horso was n fiery,
speedy animal, which very much dis
liked to havo nny other horso pass it on
tho road. To mako matters worso, tills
turnpiko was used by tho owners of
fast horses as a speeding track, and
great numbers of sulkies wero whizzing
along In both directions at tho hour
when wo usually drovo homo. Well,
father had a habit of sitting in tho car
riage entirely oblivious to everything
that was going on about him. On such
occasions ho handed tho llnc3 to mo, ap
parently with full confidenco that I could
maungo tho spirited animal and escape
all tho dangers of tho road. How I con
trived to get fathor and myself homo
alivo is moro than I over understood.
Probably it was tho capacity of the
horse."
In speaking generally of tho national
sin of decrying peoplo when their backs
aro turned, Mrs. Chaso said: "My father
was a model mau in this respect, if in no
other, In all tlio years of my confiden
tial relationship with him I novcr heard
him utter a disparaging word of any ono."
Mrs. Chaso has with her at Edgowood
her three daughters and a son, tho last
named, and eldest of tho children, being
now nearly 23. Ho is employed in a
printing otllco, but wishes to becomo n
civil engineer. Tho eldest daughter,
Ethel, now 10, and a bright and pretty
girl, has been in Now York studying for
tho Ptage. Sho worked bo hard that her
health was threatened, and Mrs. Chase
brought her home for a long rest. The
Misses Spraguo aro all accomplished and
daring lwrsowomen, and are often Been
galloping along the country roads. It
would not bo easy to find a moro Inter
esting family. Tlio remarkablo woman
viho engaged tho confidenco of many
great statesmen, and from whom even
Abraham Lincoln has said he was often
glad to take advice, is as vivacious and
fascinating as when tho social world was
at her feet. Walteh Wcllman.
