America’s Marvels NATURAL AND OTHERWISE By T. T. Maxey FAUNCES TAVERN Faunces Tavern at the southeast comer of Bruud and Pearl streets in New York City is one of the oldest buildings in that great city. Built in 1719 as a residence for a Mr. L*eLancey, fate decreed that it should play a prominent part on »o many important occasions that it has naturally won for itself a place of prominence uiuoug the most distinguished landmarks of our time History records that In 1757 this building was being used as u storeroom and warehouse. Later It became the property of a West Indian gentleman who was known as "Black Sam," from whom Samuel Faunces purchased it in 17(52. Three years later it passed to a new owner and In 1768 the organization of the Chamber of Cptnmerce was effected here. Faunces again became the owner of this much-traded building in 1770 and in It conducted a tavern —a gathering place for those gentleman and ladies who wished to favor him with their company. A shot from a man-of-war struck this building in 1775. following which Faunces joined the American army. Later he again secured ownership of this hotel and continued in possession of It for a number of years. In 1783 General George Washington was banqueted here by Governor Clinton of New York state, and In this same building during the same year General Washington took his leave of his forty-four officers. Faunces sold this building in 1785 and it later passed through a series of ownership* and usages. In 1832 the interior was damaged by fire. Twenty j ears later It became known as the Broad Street House. Subsequently it was visited by a disastrous fire and still later two stories were added to it. The venerable building was once more restored and in 1907 it was dedicated by the Sons of the Revolution.' Restored to its former appearance and Interior arrangement, the present structure is practically as it was during the Revolutionary period. The first floor Is still used as a restaurant, the second containing the celebrated long room where General Washington took leave of his faithful lieutenants of Revolutionary fame and the third being occupied as a museum contains relics—flags, china, medals, etc., of Revolutionary days.

CHAMNESSHAD A BAD RECORD I .erne, May 26.—N0 traces of Emory Chanmess have been found to date, with tlie exception that another chapter in his former career tftis been revealed. The ex-school teacher who defrauded Berne people out of more than SSOO, seems H> have left other unpleasant traces iu former towns where lie lias been. It had been learned that Cliamness had at one time been teaching school at Petersburg, Ind. The board of education has received a letter from one of the citizens of that town in which is the information that the writer had thought Cliamness honest while at Petersburg. However since learning of the incident at Berne. Mr. Grigsby of Peterburg investigated the past record of Chamness and found that while in that town Cliamness had been "crooked" in c hurch work. He had also pretended to be very religious while in Berne. The letter from Mr. Grigshy also brings the inforuia tiou that Cliamness never graduated from the Petersburg high school, and also that no photograph of him is available. Benjamin J. Burris, state superintendent of public instruction, has also been notified of the actions of Chamness while employs! as :i teacher in Berne. Mr. Burris Las v.r’tten the school board that he will notify the school heads all over the slate concerning Cliamness and will warn the school units against hiring him next year. An interesting part of Chamness’ areer is that no photographs of him can be gotten any where. No one in Berne has even seen a snap although he had been here nearly five months.
