was Kan 1 shot! from his household by a
small anny of pl.vfforei*. carpenters ami
other mechanics, who t<x>k complete
possession before the genial liocfcv’s de-
jvirTurv for EnA>po early in the year.
They held the place against all comers
long after Mr. IVjvws return. compel
ling that gentleman to take refnge with
his family at a hotel The workmen
have at last given way. however, and
the improvements they wrought an* so
substantial and wonderful that Dr. De
feels himself more than repaid for
lis temporary banishment. His man
sion is practically a new one.
The big. brown stone building was
formerly occupied by Surgeon General
William Hammond, and was always dis-
tinflushed from the neighboring Imild-
ings by its striking exterior. The differ
ence has become more marked than ever
now that it is crowned by an additional
story. A Gothic gable now surmounts
an additional bow window, with brown
one pilasters and carried capitals.
The change is even greater in the in
terior than on the outside, as the house
has been, in its main parts, entirely re
modeled and newly furnished. Enter-
through tho heavy outside oaken
doors, the first impression is of the ex
quisite taste with which the broadband
lofty hall has been furnished. There are
old Italian chairs, a quaintly carved card
receiver and a mediaeval suit of armor |
the foot of the great stairway. A
number of paintings, among others Gil
bert Stuart's portrait of Washington, are
disposed as to give the best possible
effects.
The walls are finished in terra cofla,
with gilt acorns in relief, and the floor is
roon famished cam!/ •tjfk1
design* is reached, where from the cell-1
login blue, black and gold look down
the sacred ibis and crocodile, while the I
face of ono of tho Pharoahs watches I
from a painting the preparation of those I
orations which* delight thousands of I
Americans. Arranged around on rose-1
wood shelves are several thousand vol
umes of handsomely bound Kicks, em
bracing the choicest of tho world’s liter- I
turc, the library being especially com- j ToiTlT
pleto in historical works. The law col
lection is also large and well selected.
Here is Mr. Dcpew's workshop, a private
hall leading to the inception room and
allowing him easy accaas to visitors. In
the rear is a smaller room, with shelves
filled with politic .1 and general pamph
lets and files of i »; *r?.int journals.
Returning to the ;N» reception
room is reached, when- ..K>ve walls
lintig with Louis Seize gold embroidered
satin are delicate friezes in cream col
ored papier macho relief. The furniture
is mainly of the Seventeenth century
and embraces some rare pieces in carved
rtaewood. On a mantel is n wonderful
piece of mechanism in the shape of a
miniature locomotive, the machinery of
which revolves on a lever K»ing moved.
A cabinet of rare bric-a-brac testifies to
Mr. Depew’s taste as a collector while
on his frequent visits abroad.
A feature of the interior is a broad
open stairway, with elaborately carved
railings, mounting which one reaches
the sleeping apartments of the family,
now consisting of Mr. ami Mrs. Depew
and Ohanncey, Jr., aged 11 years; Mrs.
IVpew’s two little nieces (daughters of
her dead brother, Mr. W. A. liegeman),
and her mother, Mrs. William Liege
man. The front room with bow win
dow overlooking the street, occupied by
Mr. aqd Mrs. Depew. is finished taste
fully in delicate salmon color, with
papier mache frieze of a lighter shade
and doors of terra cotta.
The furniture is of walnut and Italian
marble, the arrangement of the how
window being particularly elegant.

of inlaid mosaic in variegated colors.
Turning to th* right, the first apartment
is the drawing room, an artistic tri
umph. The walls are finished in red and
gold, with a particularly fine blue and
gold ornament’d frieze, copied from the
celebrated Bayeux tapestry. The floor,
of polished inlaid woods, is covered with
rich Persian and Turkish rugs, some of
them marvels of design and color. The
furniture is chiefly Louis Seize and Chip
pendale in various shades, but all har
monizing with the general tone of tho
room.
Noticeable among the art works is the
piece by Eadena, which won distinction
at tbe Paris exposition, representing
Gattenberg, the inventor of printing,
and an apprentice—a.present to Mr. De
pew from Joseph Pulitzer. Paintings
by eminent American and European art
ists are memoirs, among them being
some noted works. Curtains of corn
colored embroidered satin hang from be
neath hammered brass grilles, and pass
ing through fhem the music room is
reached. Finished in gold and white,
with furniture in the same colors, this
is one of the prettiest of the many apart
ments in the house, and here ut her
grand piano Mrs. Depew is among har
monious surroundings.
At one side, in a glass case, is tho
Sevres vase presetted to Mr. Depew by
the French government to commem
orate his oration at the unveiling of the
Bartholdi statue. Further along oi^ the
same side of the hall is the spacious din
ing room, where forty guests can l*e
seated. Tho walls of dark red are in
keeping with the massive mahogany
furniture, and appropriate quotations
in Greek, Latin, French and English
form a frieze. A large mahogany side
board contains a display of rare china
and porcelain^much of which is of his
torical interest.
Crossing tho hall the library, a large
A CORNER IN THE DRAWING ROOM,
help make up the luxurious view which
meets “our Chauncey’s” eyes as he
awakes each morning. His dressing
room to the right is finished in flesh col
ors and is complete in all the conven
iences of the toilet. Adjoining it is a
prettily famished room with light bluo
walls and ceiling, where Chatmcey, Jr.,
sleeps and dreams of political struggles
in which he is ns much interested as his
father. 'Educated at homo, lie has de
veloped a jtassion for jtolitical and his
torical studies, and always surpasses in
knowledge of those subjects boyssoveral
years older than himself.
It would be difficult to picture a more
charming room than that of Mrs. Hege-
raan, with walls of old red and dado of
olive green, the frieze representing scenes
from Fougera’s tales, painted in antique
style. The furniture is in rosewood, and
the floor, as in the other rooms, of inlaid
woods—oak, walnut and ebony.
The sitting room opposite is a Japa
nese room, and is furnished in keeping
with the general design. Walls anil
ceiling are elegantly decorated in Japa
nese style, and the result is decidedly
plehsing. An ebony cabinet filled with
curiosities from Japan, and vases, fans
and other curios of that country, make
the room a truly oriental ono. The third
story was formerly devoted to the serv
ants’ use, but finding theimolvi w amped
for room Mr. Depew decided 1 . t sum
mer to enlasge tho building. '1 is was
done tinder the supervision of -chitect
James E. Ware, by whom unot.. r story
was added and a bow window p. iced in
the third story. Other change.- in this 1
story were also made, and the r Mt has
l>een the creation of several I .dspmo
guest chambers, which will K . -rnished
in harmony with the rest of t house.
The main stairway has been tended
to the fourth story, which will .eafter
be occupied by the servants.
