SUTER’R TAVERN IN 1791. EARLY WASHINGTON. The National Capital at the Time Commemorated Today. Tt WAS RATHER A BARREN SEO? ae When the Capitol Corner Stone Was Laid. ACCOUNTS OF TRAVELERS. oO DOUBT THE scene of the laying of the corner stone one hundred years ago has often been pictur- ed by those whose minds have reverted to that historic event. How the city looked, or rather the site of F the city, for there =< was no city then, is perhaps of more hts- torie interest than the details of the Procession. A demonstration of this sort ‘was probably much the same then as now, differing perhaps only in magnitude. It would be of genuine value if we could now be favored with the results of the work of & camera on that occasion, as we are today im all affairs of this character. In that event there would be a picture of the pro- cession jeaving Georgetown and winding along the country road, running between tobacco plantations and’ smail farms. The future Pennsylvania avenue was only laid down on paper then, and the surveyor’s lines were hardly distinguishable through the swampy lowlands and the forest growth that covered that section of the city. In fact, there were no streets, strictly speak- ing, and the appearance of the infant city was not, in its numerous details, impres- sive. However, when the corner stone was laid, which really marked the beginning of the ‘work of establishing a permanent seat of government. patriotic hearts were filled with the thought of the possibilities of growth and development in a city that was chosen as the capital of this country, and The President's House in his thought gave a new significance to the rather mean and primitive surroundings 1800. of the occasion. No kodak awaited the pro- cession of September 1%, 179, and beyond ‘the Hist of the organizations that marched | that day there is nothing except the pen Pictures of contemporaries to give us an| idea of how Washington looked in that period of its history. Not in a Wilderness. ‘The event was of such importance in the {mfant republic that the eyes) of America and the world were turned toward the site| selected on the banks of the Potomac. The comment that appeared in the public print and in books of travel—for nearly every foreigner of distinction traveling in this country visited Washington, and the same is true today—varied from extravagant adulation of the new city and its prospects to the most doleful predictions of the utter folly and failure of it all. The idea that ‘was most industriously circulated was that the new city was being built In a remote wilderness. How far from the truth such an idea was is shown by the fact that this locality was one of the earliest visited by Europeans, and before the revolutionary war the importance of the situation com- mercially, lying as it does at the headwaters of a great navigable river, was recognized. ‘The river was too important a stream to escape notice. and about seventy years after Columbus had discovered the new country there {s a record of Spanish ex- Dlorers ascending the river as far as Oc- coquan. In the year 1618 the famous navigator, Capt. John Smith, sailed up the river on an exploring expedition, and it is believed that the farthest point’ reached was Indian | Head. The first European, as far as Is known, to visit this exact locality was Capt. Henry Ficete. In the spring of Int he came up the river with the intention of visiting the Indian town of Tohaga, which is said to have been on the site now oc- eupied by Georgetown. Nearly Three Hundred Years Ago. In his narrative Fleete say: “We came Yo anchor about two leagues short of the falls, being in the letitude 41, on the 26th of June. This place, without all question, 4s the most pleasant and healthful place in all this country, and most convenient for habitation. The air, temperate In summer and not violent in winter. It abounds in ail manner of fish. The Indians in one nicht will catch thirty sturgeon in a where the river is not above tweive fath- oms broad, and as for deer, buffalo, bears, turkeys, the woods do swarm with them. and the soil is exceedingly fertile.” He speaks of hearing the falls roar above, evidently referring to the Little Falla. The information that was early at the disposal of the map makers of that time ts shown by some of the old maps to have been quite exact in regard to this locality Some of the maps printed in London in the early part of the lest century show the Anacostia and the main river above, Ana- lostan Island and also the tsland which formerly existed at the Virginia end of the Long bride. This was known as iTolmes™ Island and also Alexander's Islan?. In ad- dition to the advantages of the site chosen for the city, owing to its betng at the head- waters of a large river and also the pic turesque and commaniing location of the lend, clreumstances which were noted in the comments of nearly every visitor to the city from earty times, there were already indtcattons that tt would be the center of a population, independent of tts choice ns the Permanent seat of the government. town was organized with a municipal © ernment in 1751, and at this time ft had be. come a town of considerable commerci:l im- portance Further down the river was efll — boy sober known as Hambure, Ich was located neer where the old navai observatory building stants. A Paper City. On the records Hamburg was a gnod-sited place, with its streets and building sites ace | laid out in regular blocks, but it remained largely a paper city, and the hopes of its founders were not realized. Twenty years prior to the location of the national capital @ portion of the tract known as Dudding- ton Manor, just to the east of the arsenal, was laid off in city lots, and quite a settle- ment sprang up, which was known as Car- rollsburg. In addition to these settlements the town of Bladensburg was founded in che year 1742. Further down the Potomac was the village of Alexandria, which was | founded in 1748, and at the time the capital city was laid ‘out was a lively, bustling, business place. The trade of these places had reached considerable proportions when President Washington made his selection. As soon as it was definitely known where the new city would be located a tide of travel set in from all parts of the country, and persons attracted by curiosity or pos- sibly by hopes of profitable speculation in the lots of the new city came to Washing- ton. The great proportion of these have left no record of their impressions of the city in those early days. The foreigners who came to this country and traveled about to see the strange land where a practical test was being given of republican institutions, with the view of writing a book so as to {inform their countrymen of all they had seen and heard, naturally came to Wash- ington, but the proportion of travelers in WASHINGTON THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C.. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1893—TWELVE PAGES. plain buildings. Most of them have been built on speculation, and still remain empty. The greatest number ac any one place is at Greenleaf's Point on the main river, just above the entrance of the Exs- tern branch This spot has been looked upon by many as the most convenient one for trade, but others prefer the shore of the Eastera branch on account of the su- periority of the harbor and the great depth of the water near the shore. ‘There are éeveral other favorite situations, the choice of anyone of which is a mere matter of speculation at present. Some build near the Capitol as the most conventent place of residence for members of Congress. Some near the President's house. Others again prefer the west end of the city in the neighborhood of Georgetown, thinking that as trade is already estadiished in that place it must be from thenee that it will extend in the city. Were the houses that have been: built situated in one place alto- gether they would make a very respect- able appearance, but scattered about as they are a spectator can gcarcely perceive anything like a town. Excepting the streets ‘and avenues,and a small part of che ground adjoining the public buildings, the whole place is covered with trees. To be under the necessity of going through a deep woud for one or two miles, perhaps io see a next door neighbor, and in the same city, is a curious, and, I believe, @ novel circum- stance. The Population of the City. “The number of inhabitants tn the city in the spring of 179% amounted to about 5,000, including artificers, who form by far the largest part of that number. Numbers of strangers are continually passing and re- passing through a place which an extensive field for speculation.” He re- fers to the fact that on the occaston of his last visit to the city, which was in the spring of 1796, the bulidings were absolute- ly at a standstill for want of money, and that the Commissioners had made appiica- tion to Congress, asking for a guarantee of a loan. He says that owing to the oppos!- tion on the part of a great many people of the country living to the north of the Po- toame, particularly in Philadelphia, who | were ‘still adverse to the removal of the seat of government, no action was taken by Congress for a number of weeks, and it was not until a number who were intcrest- ed in the improvement of the clty secured the assent of members of Congress to tak- ing the measure up, that anything was jone. A Distinguished Visitor. In the following year, 17%, the most dis- tinguished visitor that ‘the infant city had seen arrived. This was the Duke De La Rochefocault Liancourt, wif was president of the French Assembly after the fall of the Bastile, and getting in disfavor with the party in power was obliged to flee from the country. Going first to England, he then came to the United States and spent the years 17% to 1797 in extensive travels through the United States and upper Canada. In addition to his eminence as a statesman, the duke was prominent in philanthropic enterprises and was a member of the French Academy of Sciences. His travels, which were printed in Paris in the closing years of the last century, and were translated and ran through two editions in England, the last edition being published in the year 1799 in London, give a very minute and inter- i IN 1813. the early years did not reach the volume that was attained some years later, and in consequence there are comparatively few accounts of the new city prior to the re- moval of the Capitol here in 1300. ‘The First Account. Perhaps the earliest visitor to the new city of whom we have any record is Col. John Trumbull, whose historic paintings now adorn the rotunda of the Capitol. About the time the city was begun he was engaged in traveling around the country for the purpose of securing portraits of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. On his way north from Richmond in May, 1791, he states in his autobiography that he arrived in Georgetown, “where I found Major L’Enfant drawing his plan of the city of Washington; rode with him over the ground on which the city has since been bullt—where the Capitol now stands was then a thick wood.” With this brief and meager description of the site he goes on to relate the incidents that were of more especial interest to himself. Another traveler who came to this city about that time was Francis Asbury, the first bishop of the Methodist Church in this country, and really the founder of American Methodism. He traveled constantly for years all through the country, preaching and pre- siding over conferences. His diary, however, is devoted almost exclusively to accounts jof his work and he does not allow himself ‘to be betrayed into a description of the country through which he passed. He re- cords having been in Georgetown in 179, and holding services there, and then contin- uing his Journey on horseback. Several years after Congress removed here the [bishop speaks of having visited the federal |city and was somewhat disturbed by the hurry and bustle that he noticed in the \streets. He speaks of having visited the jRew bridge above Georgetown, which was |the Chain bridge, then recently erected. Mr. Weld’s Description. One of the most elaborate descriptions of | the city that has come down to us from those days Is found in the book of travels | through the states of North America and | the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada | during the years 17%, 1796 and 1797. The au- | thor, Isaac Weld, was a young Irishman of | ability who visited this country for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether in case of war, [which at that time seemed to be imminent |in his own country, any part of the new | territory might be ‘an agreeable place of abode. “He reached this city in the fall of | 17%, just about two years after the corner stone of the Capitol was laid. He speaks of |the admirable situation of the city, both from a commercial standpoint and as a place of residence. He Says “the Capitol is now | | building upon the most elevated spot of ground in the city, which happens to be in the very central situation. From this spot there is a complete view of every part of the city and also of the adjacent country. The plan on which this building is begun is grand and extensive. The house for the Fesidence of the President stands northwest of the Capitol at the distance of about one | mile and a half. It is situated upon a ris- |ing ground not far from the Potomac and | commands a most beautiful prospect of the river and the rich country beyond It. One hundred acres of ground toward the river are left adjoining to the house for pleasure | grounds. The grouad in general within the limits of the city is agreeably undulated, but none of the risings are so great as to become objects of inconvenience in the town. The soil is chiefly of a yellowish clay mixed with gravel. Only Houses of Brick. “A number of wooden habitations have been built, but the different owners have all been cautioned against considering them as permanent. They are to be allowed for a certain time only and then destroyed. “The only public buildings carrying on as yet are the President's house, the Capitol and a large hotel. (The latter was known as Blod- gett’s ‘Hotel, and occupied the grounds of the south front of the present Post Office Department building.) The President's house, which is nearly completed on the out- side, is two stories high and built of free stone. The principal room in it 1s of an oval form. This fs undoubtedly the handsomest building in the country, and the architecture of it is much extolled by the people who have never seen anything superior, but {t will not bear a critical examination. Many persons find fault with it as being too large and too splendid for the residence of any one person In a republican co’ tainly it fs a ridiculous habitation for a man who receives a salary that amounts to no more then {5.425 per annum, and in @ country where the expenses of living are far greater than they are In London. The tel ix a large bullding of brick, ornament- 2 with stone. It stands between the Pres- ident’s house and the Capitol. In the begin- ning of the year 179, when T last saw It, It was roofed in and every exertion making to have !t finished with the utmost expedition. It fs anything but beautiful. | Slow Progress With the Capitol. “The Capitol at the same period was ratsed a very little way above the |foundations. The private houses are all cnly try, and cer- | jesting account, not only of the resources of the country, but of the habits and the customs of the people. He reached this city in the spring of 1798, traveling by stage from Baltimore and Annapolis and Upper Marlboro. He says: “From the tops of the mountains which border upon the Eastern branch the river Potomac is seen far be- yond Georgetown and as far as Alexandria. ‘The Eastern branch is also seen in its course for five or six miles, and in short, there is @ prospect of the whole site of the new city. the public and private buildings of which may be distinguished as they rise. This view 1s sublime and beautiful, but sufficiently confined by the heights beyond the Potomac to enable the eye to embrace the various objects of it without being lost in tts immensity. There Wan No Bridge The: “The Eastern branch is passed in a tolera- ble good-boat, a little too flat and a great deal too small for the quantity of horses which are taken into ft. I passed in this boat with ten horses and a carriage, and was uneasy till I arrived on the other side. The pas- sage over this river ts from three quarters of a mile to a league. After having crossed it you enter into Federal city, that is, to say in its site, for at prestnt there are only a few houses to be seen in this capital of the United States; In this metropolis of North America. He states that the President's house 1s sufficiently advanced to be covered in this year; that the wing of the Capitol, which is at’ present begun, for the plan of that ed- ifice is so extensive that the execution of two-thirds of ft has been abandoned to an indefinite period, may, perhaps, be covered in during the succeeding year. About 15) houses are scattered over the vast surface traced out for the city, each of the four quarters of the city having from thirty to forty houses, for the most part very distant from each other. Visit Like People in the Country. The duke, in continung his account of the city, says: “The site of the city, as I have already observed, is well chosen. The plan 1s both judicious and noble, but it is, in fact, the grandeur and magnificence of the | plan which renders the conception no bet- | ter than a dream.” He adds that “$500,000 | had already been expended on the part of the public and nothing is erected but the walls, timbers and staircases on the wing of the Capitol and the President's house, To complete these two buildings and to erect others for the different departments of the administration $50,000 are still want- | ing, on the computation of the Commis- sioners themselves, and even then there will | be no courts of justice, prisons, churches, pavements, .amps, fountains or public gar- dens." He states that “the number of its inhabitants is at present varying cgnsider- able, and they are so scattered that if they were less occupied with thelr speculations, rivalry and hatreds they could still form n society. They visit like people in the coun- try, living at a distance from each other. | ‘The tradesmen and laborers, for the most part, reside at Georgetown, where the in- habitants of the othe: quarters are obliged to send for almost all necessaries. The few shops that are in the heart of the federal city are miserably provided and excessively dear, and the workmen are the very refuse of that class, and, nevertheless, very high | 1m their demands. "Provisions are furnished | almost by chance, and this is so absolutely | the case with respect to butchers’ meat especially that during the six days I passed there I never once saw any. Eggs are brought from time to time from the coun- try, but nelther constantly nor often. In short, I have not been in any of the ob- scurest parts of America where I found | provisions so badly furnished. The stone of | which the Capitol and President's house are | built ts extremely white and the workman- ship is excellent, but I do not admire the architecture of those buildings. Mr. Hines’ Recollections, Perhaps the most interesting contempor- aneous account of the city is that which is found in a small pamphlet entitled “Early Recollections of Washington City,” by | Christian Hines, publishel in 1865. Mr. | Hines spent his early years in Georgetown. | He lived to an advanced age, and in hi eighty-second year, with the help of his brother, he wrote down what he could recollect of the city from his youth. His } memory carried him back with remarkable | distinctness of details to the year 1797, when he was fifteen years of age. In that | year he was engaged by a Georgetown mer- chant to assist in a clothing store, which the latter had established at Greenlea‘’s Point, and he recalls his many journeys be- tween those two points and the appearance of the site of the oty gt that time. He states that in passing down the venue from Georgetown to the President's house he recoliects having seen but one house on Pennsylvania avenue (except the Six and Seven buildings), and that was an old frame, which stood on H street between 18th and 1%th streets, near where Dr. Hagner now lives, and which was surrounded by @ grove of beauttful forest ees. “After passing the President's hous he says, “our road lay along F street until we arrived at 11th street west. We then passed in a south- easterly direction to a small creek that crossed E street north, near where Dr. Bor- rows now lives. We then continued along this stream in the same direction until it crossed Pennsylvania avenue, where the Center market house now stands, and then we crossed the bridge. At that time there was not @ single house on the avenue from the President's house to the Capitol. Acres of Forest Trees. “On the east side of the road there were, I suppose, several acres of elegant forest trees. On the west side there were not 50 many, there being only a narrow strip. I think that part, or perhaps all of them, were on the public mall. The bridge, as well as I can remember, was constructed in this manner: There was a causeway, or rather two small wharves, constructed of logs and filled in with earth on each side of the creek. They were built so close to one another that a large scow could scarcely pass between them. On these wharves, oF causeways, the bridge was erected. The bridge was very low and not’ wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side. We then passed through the woods, where a most beautiful sight presented itself to my view. A vast plain of old fields extended southward, almost as far as my eye could reach, and scarcely anything could be seen on either side but the old mansion, the Twenty buildings and a few old farm houses. I judge there were not more than a half dozen houses, including the old mansion, until we reached Greenleaf’s Point. As I stood at the little 7th street bridge I could wee the north wing of the Capitol just ris- ing, as it were, out of the ground, and on looking to the left could see the President's house, perhaps a half-story high. These were ‘the only public buildings then being erected. The avenue itself was almost im- passable for carriages of any kind. * F Street in the Early Days. “The only place that had anything like the Sppearance of a town or village was F street between 15th street and St. Patrick's Church on 10th street. Beyond there were no houses except a few shanties for labor- ers near Blodgett's Hotel, and a few scat- tered old frame houses on the old fields north of F street. There were at that time only three streets, or parts of streets, be- tween Georgetown and the Capitol. First, K street from the lower bridge to the Six buildings, where it entered the avenue; sec- ond, the avenue from the Six buildings to 15th street, and from 15th along F street to St. Patrick's Church. There was a road which continued on from the little branch over B street between 9th and 10th streets in rly a straight line on the high ground north of the avenue, until It, reached. the ‘Tiber, not far from the foot of Capitol Hill. ‘These were the only streets in Washington which were open. In fact, there were no houses to form streets.” Primitive Pennsylvania Avenu In another part of his work Mr. Hines says he is confident when he first saw Penn- sylvania avenue there was not one house on it. “The commons, where now the avenue 1s," he states, “from the foot of Capitol Hill westward, was almost im) ble for vehi- eles of any kind. Indeed, it was difficult for Persons to walk in some places on account of mud, bushes, thorns and briars, and more Particularly on the south side, where the clumps of thorn bushes in some places were 80 thick that I beliete they were cut down with scythes, so as to enable the workmen to make a footway to 15th street. This they did by carting, earth, gravel, chips of free stone, &c., on both sides of the avenue to the full extent until a tolerably good footway was made all along. On the north side of the street it was not quite so bad, because the road from Georgetown to the Capitol ran pretty much on high ground from about 9th street in a southeasterly di- rection, passing along the foot of the hill, below Blodgett’s Hotel, thence by McGirk’s Uttle jail and on past the rear of Jackson's Hall, ‘the Tiber Creek, and thence to the foot of Capitol Hill, where it turned south- ward and passed along where Breckinridge Church was afterward erected. “After the footways were completed they commenced filling and leveling the center of the avenue until a pretty good road had been made. Shortly after this, I belleve in 1901, the planting of trees was commenced along the avenue.” Mr. Hines says that there were two rows of these trees planted on each side of the roadway: that they were Lombardy poplars. and that he several times saw Mr. Jefferson, the President, watching the workmen as they planted the trees. A Hot Fourth of March. Although rather late in vigiting the city, a8 compared with those Whose accounts have been cited, the comments made by John Davis, an Englishman, who wrote a rather egotistical but entertaining book of travels in the United States, are worth a reference. He came to this city in March, . to witness the inauguration of Mr. Jefferson, whom he greatly admired. and to whom he dedicated his book of travels. He had one rather notable experience, which wil be a surprise to every one who has at- tended an tnaucuration of a President. On the morning of the 4th of March he says that he walked from MacLauhfiin's Hotel in Georgetown . ‘through the houseless streets of the tmperial city." “The ex. ive heat of the sun,” he adds. “provoked thirst, and to allay ft we retired into the woods and seated ourselves by the Tiber.” His recount of Jefferson's eamine ta the Capitol ts followed by Mr. John 7. Morse, ir. who states tn hie recent life of Thomas Jefferson. which forms a vart of the Amer- ican Statesmen series, that Jefferson rode to the Cantto! on the dav of his inaueura- Hon on horseback. unattended. and hitched his horse to the wondlen fence that then mur- Tounded the butldine, and proceeded tn the Senate chamber, where he delivered his in- augdral ‘The Corner Stone of Capitola, From the Philadelphia Press. The federal Capitol, the laying of wh corner stane a hundred years ago is cel brated today at Washington, has the unique honor of being the first building in modern history, if not the first in all the world's annals, built simply to hold a legislature. The Roman senate met in a temple, as aid all ancient deliberative bodies, medi- aeval legislatures met in palace halls or the halls of some monastic or semi-religious body—hence “St. Stephen's," the term often applied to the English parliament. The Basque “Fueros,” earliest of European leg- islatures, met about a tree. The Swiss can- tons met to legislate, as Appenzell does to- day, in a meadow. Even the state houses built by our colonies were intended to house the entire government—legislative, execu- tive and judicial. But the Capitol at Washington was plan- ned and built to hold a legislature, and the character, constitution and organization of every other national legislature in the world has been more altered in the century since its corner stone was lafd than has that of the Congress which meets today to cele- brate the founding of its first and only home. An example to all lands, Congress stil remains a model; and from being in organization and election the newest of legislatures, its example has so altered all ther national assemblies that of them all it has seen least change in a century of glorious history in which neither war with- out nor rebellion within has prevailed against or shall prevail in other centuries yet to come. ———+o2-____ Athletic Records Broken. In every way but attendance the A. A. U. championship games at Chicago Saturday were a success. Four world’s records were broken, and one was equaled. In the hop, step and jump E. B. Bloss of Boston, A. A. C., touched 48 feet 6 inches, against 48 feet 3 inches, the best previous mark made by John Purcell in Ireland in 1887. A. H. Green, in the pole vault for distance, reach- ed 27 feet 5 inches, beating the 27 feet 4 1-2 inches made last month by C. T. Bucholz in Philadelphia. George R. Gray put the 16- pound shot 47 feet, against his own record of 46 feet 7 3-4 inches. In the 56-pound weight throw for helght J. S. Mitchell reached 15 feet 4 1-2 inches. The previous dest record was his own—15 feet 2 inches. Puffer equaled his record of 0:% 2-5 in the 20-yard hurdle. Over Twelve Million Visitots. An important subject which is regarded with favor by the Chicago fair directors will be the reduction of the admission fee after 6 o'clock at night to twenty-five cents. The object is to give the Chicago people— more than outside visitors—a chance to view the flluminations and fireworks after working hours. Superintendent Tucker is heartily in favor of this plan, believing it would swell the record considerably. The proposition to re- duce the Sunday admission to twenty-five cents is not looked upon favorably. Including yesterday's admissions, the record froth May 1 shows more than 12,500,- 000 paying visitors. The attendance for the last week aggregated 1,079,323, a slight in- crease over the previous week. ‘The state celebrations and fete days for this week will be participated in by Neva- da, Iowa, Sons of America, Montana, Fish- ermen, Sportsmen, the State Commission- ers, Knights of Honor, and the Order of Elks. ee Cirbies ee hale ptr bare made 16.082 nots an hour al er builders wil $60,000 bonus, aise ‘The missionary council of the Protestant Episecpal Church of 1894 is to be held in Chicago, not in San Francisco.
