Congressman Frank C. Weber is the proud possessor of a cut glass wine glass from which on more than oae occasion, so tradition says, Gen. George Washington refreshed himself la the days when he used to stop on his way from Mount Vernon to the North st th home of the late Michael Warner, on the old Washington road. The wine glass is an old fashioned one of comfortable size and uefcht, and is very much unlike anything In use nowaday!. Well authenticated tradition haa it that Gen. Washington was frequently a guest at the home of Michael Warner, who was a well known man in this section of the country and was acquainted with many prominent men of those days. It Is known that Gen. Washington stopped cs tscro than one occasion at tbe Warner house, as he did at th old Carroll mansion, now In Carroll Park, and partook of meala. The wine glasses were always used at these meals and were retained as mementos of these visits. Baltimore News.
