A CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY THAT SHOULD IN- TEREST EVERY CITIZEN OF THE DISTRICT— SOME DETAILS WHICH THE OCCASION BRINGS To LIGHT—TROUBLES OF THOSE DAYS. One hundred years ago today occurred the first sale of lots in the national capital. The 17th of October should figure as a sort of Fourth of July in the year book of theaverage real estate dealer and ownet in the District of Columbia, and today might appropriately have been celebrated with honors of a lasting nature. On this day one hundred years ago the broad acres of Davey Burns, Notley Young, Daniel Carroll and Samuel Davidson began to passinto hands of the people who had so long been want- ing them. “That obstinate Mr. Burns,” as Presi- dent Washington denominated the honest land- holder and the most tenacious of them, had given the commissioners no end of trouble,and they doubtless felt a burden lifted from their minds when his opposition ceased and the sale of lots was actually begun, one hundred years ago today. WHEN THE TROUBLE BEGAN. The story of the early days of the capital city is of course familiar one in « general way, but many interesting details are recalled by the centennial of this greatest of events in its his- tory. The “trouble began” during the session in Philadelphia in 1787 of the convention to re- Vie the federal system of government, at which time it was proposed that the new Constitution should provide against selecting for the seat of government any city or place where a state government might be fixed, in order to pre- Yent any question of jurisdiction arising. This was finally arranged by a feature of the Consti- tution as it now stands, by which any state where the capital city should be located was to cede full posession to the ground, “to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may by cession of particular states and the acceptance of Congress become the seat of government of the United States.’ HOW CONGRESS WAS BOTHERED. The result was that the First Congress when it met in New York in 1789 soon found itself “pestered” with appeals and memorials for the location of the permanent seat of government. New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, George- town, Alexandria and many other places were ambitious to become the seat of government, as well they might have been. That the problem grew to be a very difficult oneand the contest a bitter and largely a sectional one is well known. The tact that New York was at that moment providing Congress with a suitable meeung place tree of cost was urged by the New Yorkers as evidence that she could always do well by Congress. They would not listen toa location so far south as Maryland or Virginia. On the other hand it was Known that Washington fa- vored the Potomac, and the southern members of course stood by him and their section. The active fighting begun in August, 1789, during the first session of the First Congress, and did notend until the second session of the came Congress, when a Lill was ‘passed locating the seat of government “on the river Potomac, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern branch and Conococheague.”” The foliowing copy ox the act which estab- lished Wasisiugton as the permanent seat of government will be interesting to many peo- ple on this centenmal anniversary occasion. It was finally passed by Congress July 9, 1790: THE LOCATING AcT. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a dis- trict of territory not exceeding ten miles square, to be located as hereafter directed on the river Potomac, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern branch and Conoco- cheague, be and the sume 1s hereby accepted for the permanent seat of the government of the United States; provided, nevertheless, that the operation of the laws of the state within such district shall not he affected by this ac- ceptance until the time fixed for the re- moval of the government thereto and until Congress shall otherwise by Inw provide. Sec. 2 And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States be author- ized to appoint and, by supplying vacancies happening from refusals to act or other causes, to keep in appointment as long as may be nec- essary three commissioners, who, or any two of whom, shall, under the direction of the Presi- dent, survey and by proper metes and bounds define and limit a district so defined limited and located, shall be deemed the district ac- cepted by this act for the permanent seat of the government of the United States. See. 3. And be it enacted, That the said com- missioners or any two of them shall have power to purchase or accept such quantity of land on the eastern side of the said river within the said dhstrict as the President shall deem procer for the use of the United States, aud according to such plans as the President shall approve said commissioners or any two of them shall, prior to the first Monday in December, in the year 1300, provide suitable buildings for the accom- modation of Congress and of the President and of the public othces of the government of the United States. Sec. 4. And be it enacted, That for defraying the expenses of such purehases and buildings the President of the United. States be author- ized and requested to accept grants of m 5. And be it enacted, ‘That pri first Monday in December next all officers at- tached to the seat of government of the United States shall be removed to and until the first Mouday in December 1900, shall remain at the city of Philadelplia in the state of Pennsy!- vania, at which place the session of Congress next ensuing the present shall be held. Sec. 6. And be it enacted, That on the first Monday in December, im the year 1500, the neat of the governmentot the United States shall by virtue of this act be transferred to the district and place aforenamed,and ail officesattacbed to the said seat of government shali occordingly be removed thereto by their respective holders and shall after the said day cease to be exer- cised elsewhere,and that the necessary expenses of such removal shall be defrayed out of the duties on import and tonnage, of which a sufi- ciént sum is hereby appropriated. July 10, 1790. (Approved) Gronae Wasuixarox, President of the United States. THE COMMISSIONERS SELECTED. The commissioners selected to lay out the future city of Washington were Hon. Daniel Carrol of Maryland, Dr. David Stuart of Vir- ginia and Thomas Johnson of Marya: and they had as interesting a time in their work as Congress had had in locating the city which they were to layout. ‘They decided to call the district the “Territory of Columbia’ and to name the city in honor of Washington. ‘Then began along struggle with the men who owned the land inside the ten-mile limit. There were some twenty-five or more of ‘bem, though David Burns, Notley Young, Danie! Carroll and Samuel Davidson were the most prominent. Burns, it may be added, was the most stubborn, and ‘by a singular coinci deuce the one landmark left in reminder of all thee men on this centennial occasion is the cabin of old Davey Burns, who ‘“snssed” Presi- dent Washington when he urged him to accept the, terms offered, saying: “I suppose, Mr. Washington, you think people are going to take every grist from you as pure grain; but what would you have been if you hadn't mar- ried the rich Widow Custis 7" Washington of course took great interest in the work of the new capital city, and used to ride u ig gallop from "Mt. Vernon, where he spent a@Mrtion of his time, to consult with the commissioners at Suter's old tavern aud sid them in their work. Being himself an engineer, his practical judgment was of course good, and it was through him that Maj. L'Enfant was selected to lay out the plans in detail. He spent a week at Mt. Vernon in don- sultation with Washington before the plans were permanently put on paper, and they ‘were arranged at that time. When they were drawn outin detail they were approved by Waxhing- ton and Jefferson, then Secretary of State. The “obstinate Mr. Burns,” as Washington called him, having come into line, an agreement was made witn the land holders by which the prop- erty was to be cut * into streets, parks, plloys and lots and the lots sold at public sale, the owners of the land tohave one-half the pro- ceeds, also twenty-five pounds per acre for all land taken for pubiic buildings. ‘THE FIRST BOUNDARY STONE. set to work, the ‘first boundary stone having been located at Jones’ point on the Virginia side on April 15, 1791, with im ve Masonic ceremomies. By the end of the summer their P as to make it prac- ticable to fix a date for the first sale of lots and October 17 was namedas the eventful day, Speculators from New York and Philadel un- detwent the fatigues of ‘coach for the sake of being on to secure ible investments and the bidding on the first Z sale was spirited.

People often make mistakes in the quality of the glass which they put in the windows of their houses. The average man knows very little about the quality of glass, and that is the reason which prompted Mr. Charles E.

Hehas made « special study of the various gradesand qualities of ‘glass, and by direct importation he is ensbled to keep on hand a large stock. Builders and others find that his knowledge, combined with his facitities for doing business and his inflexible rule of being prompt, are of the greatest advantage to thove who deal with him.
