Miss Gyace Stone of Aquasco has been visiting Mrs. C. H. Welsh. —— BROOKLAND. Yesterday, the first Sunday in Advent and the first day of the Protestant Episcopal Church year, was one long to be remember- ed in the history of St. Clement's, the infant mission of ancient Rock Creek Church. Rev. J. T. Crowe, the rector, conducted the services and preached @ most appropriate sermon from the lith verse of the 10th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans, “The day ts at hand.” The choir, which has been augmented by the sweet voice of Miss Elsie Snyder and by a number of the children of the Sunday school, rendered the responses effectivelf, and a solo number, “Just as I Am,” was sung with much power and pathos by Miss Sidney Small. At the conclusion of the church services the con- gregation was invited to remain and take into consideration the acceptance of a lot, which had been kindly tendered as a gift to the mission for the erection of a pl: of worship by Major and Mrs. Green Clay Gcoedloe. Mr. W. P. Armstorng, In behalf of the members of St. Clement's, read a series of resolutions gratefully acknowledging and accepting the gift, and presenting thanks to Mrs. Goodloe, who was present, and repiled in a few fitting words. The lot is lot 2 in block 25, occupying a beautiful and com- raanding situation on Concord street near 13th. Steps were taken to immediately ccmmence the erection of a church, and a building committee appointed, of which Rev. J. T. Crowe is chairman; Rev. Dr. Buck, chairman ex-officio; the other mem- bers are Mr. J. H. Small, Mr. Baldwin of Eckington, Dr. H. J. Penred, Mr. Arm- strong, Mrs. Goodloe, Mrs. Jere Johnson, Mrs. Burr, Mrs. Gaines, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Stalee, Miss Snyder, Miss Nannie Small and Miss Baldwin; the ladies to be especial- ly consulted tn regard to interior decora- tion of the edifice. In the afternoon Rev. Mr. Crowe held services at Langdon, a re- quest having been forwarded to Bishop Paret for the formation of ar Episcopal congregation in that suburb. Miss Anna Lynch celebrated her birthday arniversary on Saturday afternoon by en- tertaining a merry party of her young friends at luncheon. Covers were laid for twelve, and those present were the Misses Rosamond, Stickney, Bessie Dawes and Pearl Potter of Washington, Edith Marean of Echington, Cloe West, Eva Fisher, An- nette Etz, Ruth Marean, Lucy Lynch, Bes- sie Lynch and Mrs. C.G, Lynch. Music and recitations provided some of the amuse- ments, ard all had a most enjoyable time. Miss Lynch received many beautiful sou- venirs of the pleasant occasion. The ladies of St. Anthony's Catholic Church are highly elated with the financial success of their Thanksgiving entertain- ments, having realized about $300 for their butiding fund. Miss Edith Magee was the winner of the handsome cake which was to be obtained by guessing the quantity of beans in a jar. A creditable banjo and guitar performance by Mr. John Horstkamp of Brookiand and Mr. John Rossa of Wash- irgign was inadvertently omitted in the meftion of the evening's amusements. Communion service was held by the Brookland M. E. congregation last evening. It is feared that illness In the family of Presiding Elder L. B. Wilson will retard the erection of the Brookland M. E. Church. The building committee have plans ready to submit to the next conference, to be held at Langdon, but this cannot be held until Mr. Wilson can attend. Mr. and Mrs. Milton R. Crandall were the recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. Luther B. Padgett of Providence street. The Ladies’ Guild of St. Clement’s Mis- sion will meet with Mrs. Norton tomorrow. —_— Indorsed Sergt. Daley. The delegates who attented the recent national convention of the W. C. T. U. at Cleveland gave brief reports of what was done at that convention at a meeting which was held yesterday afternoon at the Ver- mont Avenue Christian Church, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. Mrs. Grif- fiths, the president, prestded, and ad- dresses were made by Mrs. Helde, Mrs, Williams, Miss Weightman, Mrs. Shelton, Hiram Price, Mr. Redman’ and Rev. Mr. Power. The three latter commended the work of Sergt. Daley, and a resolution, which had been passed by the executive committee of the W. C. T. U. and for- warded to the Commissioners, urging the support of Sergt. Daley by the authorities, was adopted. A committee was appointed to present these resolutions in person. THE CURRENCY QUESTION Controller Eckles Favors a Non-Partisan Commission to Consider It. Points Discussed in the Annual Re- port—National Banks and the Government's Revenue. The annual raport of Mr.James H.Eckles, controller of the currency, shows that dur- ing the past fiscal year but 50 banks were (rganized, with a capital stock of $5,285,- 000, the smallest nuraber chartered, as we!l as the minimum amount of capital, in ary one year since 1879. On October 31, 184, the tetal number of national banks in op- eretion was 3,756, with an authorized « ap- ital stock of $72,671,365, vepresented dy 7,985,076 shares of stock, owned by 257,842 shareholders. Reports of national banks show Individ. ual depesits declined from $1,764,456,177 in December, 1992, to their lowest point, $1,- 451,124,380, in October, 1893, and between the last named date and Cctoher 2, 1894, steadily increased, and reached on the lat- ter date $1,728,418,819, or $36,000,000 less than in\December, 1892, the highest point reached during the two years named. The lawful money reserve of the banks, which reached its lowest point on July 12, 1893, when it was $280,244,850, steadily in- creased after that date until May 4, 1894, when it amounted to $452,103,214. It then decreased to $438,931,970, on July 18, 1804, and further to $402,804,682, on October 2, 1894, such decrease between May 4, 1804, and October 2, 1894, being accounted for by the increase In the item of loans and discounts during the same period, due to the revival of business between the dates named, particularly between July 18, 1804, and October 2, 1804. In order to place banks upon a dividend- paying basis in communities where bank- ing is overdone, the controller suggests the necessity which banks have found of cur- tailing expenses by either # reduction of the capital stock or a consolidation of banking interests, which would also have a tendency to check reckless banking, springing from an unwholesome competi- Uon of rival concerns to obtain business —— could all be handled by one strong nk. The results of the present investigation of the subject, the controlier says, are in the line of fcrmer conclusions as to the in- creasing importance of credit instruments in payments and exchanges generally, and against the necessity of any additional pro- visions for simply an ‘ncrease in the vol- ume of money without taking into consid- ertion the other and more important ele- mefits which should characterize the cur- rency circulation. From the figures submitted the controller &rg.cs that no better evidence of the valu- able and generally diffused service rendered to the public by banks can be adduced, and no stronger reason could be advanced to werrant the most careful and statesman- bem consideraticn of any measure affecting them. As a source of revenue to the govern- ment, it 18 also shown that the total tax collected on the capital of the banks is $7,885,887.74, the taxes paid on deposits amount to $60,340,067.16, and up to June 30, 1894, the circulation of the banks had yielded to the government a revenue of $75,834,997.17. The controller also calls attention to the service rendered the public by the national banking system, giving as the four great points of advantage and saving which have been gained to the general public, first, the saving in heavy discount on the bank cur- rency prevalent before the establishment of the national bank system. Second, the saving in rates of interest on loans and discount. Third, the saving in the making of exchange. Fourth, the saving to customers in charges for making collec- tions. : The controller renews his recommenda- tions of last year for amendments to exist- ing laws, with respect to issuing of circu- lation to the par of bonds deposited un- less the method of issuing circulation is changed. The controller makes a suggestion for the maintenance of a safety fund to be provided by graduated taxation upon the outstanding circulation of the banks unjil the same shal! be equal to not less than 5 per cent of the total of such outstanding circulation, this fund to be held by the government as an agent only and for the purpose of immediately redeeming the notes of insolvent banks. It is suggested that if Congress shall re- peal the provisions of the present act re- quiring the national banks to make a de- posit of government bonds in order to se- cure circulating notes,and substitute there- for a provision giving them instead the right to issue the same against their as- sets, it incorporate therein and as a part therefore that, as a prerequisite to so doing, the banks be ccmpelled to deposit with the treasurer of the United States legal ten- der issues or issues under the act of 1890 equal in amount to the difference between the percentage of their capital stock of is- sues granted against their assets and the total of such capital stock. As against this deposit of legal tenders and treasury notes so made there should be issued to the banks, dollar for dollar, national bank notes, either of the same or different design, as might be deemed best, that thus the volume of the currency as it is now contributed to by the issues of the government should not be contracted so long at least as the banks making such de- posits are in existence. It is also suggested that as a necessary element to the securing of proper elasticity of issue in our bank note currency section 9, act July 12, 1802, regulating the retire- ment and issuing of circulation to banks within a fixed period of time, should be re- vealed, and also that an amendment should made to the law necessitating the banks keeping in the office of the controller of the currency a sufficient amount of bank notes as will enable them to secure circulation at once instead of after a period of delay, fre- quenuy of sufficient duration as to make the issue unavailable to relieve the pressure existing at the time of ordering the same. The controller says that suggestions have been received from many eminent financial sources that the whole question of a bank- ing and currency system ought to be re- ferred by Congress, to a commission to be created by law, appointed by the President, and clothed with proper authority. On this point he says: “A commission non-partisan in its charac- ter, composed of men of eminent abilities, could unquestionably devise a currency system sound in every part, and one which would commend itself to every interest of the country. It could largely take the ques- tion out of politics, and have it considered simply in its business aspects and upon merit alone; but if the present Congress Is to enact a law upon the subject, the ap- pointment of a commission could avail nothing. If, however, nothing more definite can be accomplished, the question of the creation of such commission ought to be considered and acted upon.” PROPERTY OF GOVERNMENT. An Employe's Work Belongs Solely to the Employer. Judge Hagner has decided that where a person is employed by the government the fruits of that employment belong to the government. The case was that of Thomas Donaldson against Carroll D. Wright, com- missioner of labor. Mr. Donaldson pre- pared a special bulletin, which was pub- lshed by the census office, and after his resignation another bulletin, prepared and written by him, was issued by the office. This, Mr. Donaldson complained, was so altered and cut by the office that his repu- tation as an authority and author cn Indian matters was seriously endangered. He, therefore, prayed that the commi: sioner of labor be restrained. The com- missioner entered a demurrer, contending that Mr. Donaldson had, as a paid employe of the government, no right to institute such proceedings. The demurrer was sus- tained by Judge Hagner today, whereup- on Mr. Donaldson noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals. Judge Hagner held that Mr. Donaldson did not stand in the position of an author entitled to a copyright, or to the right to have the government restrained from al- tering his work. “When an author is em- ployed to produce a work for another, the production becomes the property in every respect of the employer.” Satie In Behalf of Missions. A largely attended meeting in the inter- ests of missions was held last evening at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. Bishop Hurst presided, and Chaplain McCabe delivered an address. Rev. Dr, Burt of Rome, Italy, made an address. SOME QUAINT MAPS This Locality as Depicted Nearly Three Centuries Ago. CAPT. SMITH THE FIRST MAP MAKER The Original Surveys of Land in This City FOR THE BRITISH ARMY Of the makers of maps of the District of Columbia there is no end. I am told that the engineers of the District building turn out a map of Washington, or some part of it, every week; but there was a time when a century intervened between the making of the maps that delineated the section of the Potomac upon which Washington is now situated. Even the great globe at the National Museum which attracts so much attention among Washington young peo- ple, and which, it is supposed, led Colum- bus to make his voyage of discovery, has no land apon which Washington might be situated. The first map of this region was prepared by Capt. John Smith, the first of the name, or at least under his super- vision, and it appears in the “Sixth voyage to that part of Virginia now planted by English colonies, whom God increase and preserve,” published in London, 1620. It is with extreme difficulty that a loca- tion can be made on this map of the place destined to become the site of Washington. Capt. Smith thus writes the first geogra- phy of the Potomac and Its shores, which he explored in the summer of 1608. “The fourth river is called Patawomeke, six or seven miles in bredth. It is navigable 140 myles, and fed as the rest with many sweet rivers and springs which fall from the bordering hils. These hils are many of them planted, and yeeld no lesse plen- tie varletie of fruit and the river ex- ceedth with aboundance of fish. It is in- habited on both sides, first on the south side at the very enterance is Wighcomoco, and it hath some 130 men, and beyond them Sekacawone with 30.’ Then Onaw- manient with 100 and the Patawomekes more than 200. Here doth the river divide itself into 3 or 4 convenient brauches. The greatest of these ts calied Quiyough, trending northwest, but the river itself turneth north-east and is still a navigable streme. On the western side of this bough (bend) is Tauxenent with 40 men. On the north of this Secowocomoco with 40, Somewhat furtber is Potopaco with 20. In the east part is Pamacaceack with 60. After Moyowance with 100 and lastly Ni cotchtanke with 80. The river above this place maketh its passage down a low, pleasant valley overshaddowed tn many places with high, rocky mountaines from whence is disttil innumerable sweet and pleasant springs.” When the Indians Lived Here. Although he places “Assaomeck” on the map, he does not describe it. Mr. W. H. Snowden says, in his “Historic Land Marks,” that “The chief settlement or vil- lage of Assomeck, according to the investi- gations of Professor Holmes of the Na- tional Ethnological Bureau, occupied the site now known as Andalusia, four miles below Alexandria. The great number of stone axes, javalins and arrow points and fragments of pottery which have been turned up there by the plow sutficiently at- tet the fact.” Mr. W. F. Carne’s history of Alexandria says “that in 1608 the Mayones, a portion of the tribe afterward known as the Pis- cataways, settled a hamlet near what ts now Fort Washington, and the Nocotc tanks, or Necostins, a powerful tribe after- ward called the Anacostins, or Analostins, occupied the region lying near what is now the Eastern branch of the Potomac.” No other map of this section appeared for many years. Henry Spillman, whose portraiture appears as a youth in Chap- man’s picture of the baptism of Pocahan- tas at the Capitol, with Raleigh Crowshaw, Capt. Ralph Hamor and Henry Fleet, made expeditions and explorations in the sec- tion of the country near what is now the District of Columbia; but they published no maps. The next ext: it map is that contained in Old Mixon’s “British Empire in Amer- ica,” and is described as “a new and ac- curate map of Virginia and Maryland, laid down from surveys and regulated by as- tronomical observations. By Emanuel Bowen.” This map, Beverly, in his intro- duction to the History of Virginia, declares in 1722 to be seventy years behind the times; so its date may be considered to be about 1670. The Original Surveys. At the time this map was drawn the white settlements, as appears by the little houses drawn on the edge of the river, had not advanced, on the Maryland side, fur- ther than Piscataway creek, and, on the Virginia side, had gotten but little distance above Occoquan (Achaquin creek), there be- ing but two houses above an unnamed branch (apparently Little Hunting creek). All above is laid down as covered with for- ests. The Falls of the Potomac and “Ana- costie: not as now, Analostan—Island are latd down at the proper points; and even at that early period the point on which the Washington arsenal was afterward built was called Turkey Buzzard Point, whence comes the present Buzzard’s Point. Oxon run rejoices in the name of Namessakont, while Broad creek appears in the aborig- inal dress of Kysikamkont. Calvert Manor extends from one on the north to the other on the south, being apparently partially cleared land. At that time it is provable that the site of Washington was entirely in the forest. It was about this period that the ortginal surveys were made, copies of which were contained in documents filed at the mayor's office, which were thus explained some thirty years ago in the handwriting of Mr. Robert Y. Brent: “A valuable and ancient document in re- lation to the taking up of the tract of land called Rome, on the site of which stands the city of Washington, respectfully pre- sented to the mayor and council of the elty of Washington. “June 5, 1663—Layd out for Francis Pope of this province, gentleman, a parcel of land in Charles county, called Rome, laying on the east side of the Anacostia river, be- ginning at a marked Oak standing by the river side, the bounded tree of Captain Robert Troop, and running north by the river, for breadth, the length of 200 perches, to a bounded oak standing at the mouth of a bay or inlet called Tiber, bounded on the north by the said belt and line drawn eust for the length of 320 perches, to a bounded oak standing in the woods, on the east with a line drawn south from the end of the former line until you meet with the ex- tension bounded tree of Robert Troop, call- ed Wollandgood, on the south with the said land, on the west with the said river, containing, and now layd out, 400 acres, more or less. “June 5, 1663—Layd out for Captain Rob- ert Troop of this province a parcel of !and in Charles county, called Scotland, and begins on the east side of the Anacostia river, beginning at a bounded hickory standing by the water side, and cunning north with the river for breadth the length of 250 perches to a bounded oak, bounding on the north with a line drawn east into the woods, for the length of 820 perches to a bounded oak, on the east with a line drawn south from the end of the former line until you intersect a parallel line drawn from the first bounded hickory on the south with the said parallel on the west with the said river, containing, and now layd out, 500 acres, more or less.” For the Use of the British, The next map of this section is one which 1s comparatively well-known, is en- titled “A map of the most Inhabited part of Virginia, containing the whole province of Maryland, with part of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and North Carolina, drawn b Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson, in 1775, dedicated to the Hight Honorable George Dunk, Sarl of Halifax, first lord commis- sioner. and to the rest of the right hon- crable and honorable commissioners for trade and plantation, by their lordships’ most obedient and devoted, humble sery- ant, ‘Thos. Jefferes.” This map constitutes part of an atlas of America which was prepared for use of the officers of the British army during the revolution. Singularly enough, although Georgetown must have been at that time laid out, it does not appear on the mao, although Annapolis and Alexandria are’ placed in their proper positions.

The warehouse is stored with hogsheads that can be seen through the windows, and one of which, open in the doorway, makes up the background. On the right a Dutch barque with a high poop deck lies moored beside the wharf, upon,which stands a tripod, bearing nuge scales, while weights, 56's and 112’s, are scattered around. A tobacco cask is on the scales. Two negroes clothed only with breech clouts are cooper- ing other casks. A tobagco inspector In cocked hat stands by the scales, and is noting down the tare and trett of the cask. On a wharf a short distance off 1s pile of lumber, and a warehouse with a tackle and fall. Men are dimly seen there storing barrels of good Holland gin. The Gin Cocktail. Near the warehouse, evidently in the shadow of the wall, sits a Marylander, one of the neighbors of the old Georgetown tobacco warehouse man, with cocked hat, ruffles and knee breeches. He rests both hands on his cane and enjoys a pipe, not a Turkish infidel pipe, coiled like the old serpent which raided Eden, but a good Christian indian pipe, straight as an arrow. Near him stands another Mary- lander, possibly one of the original pro- prietors of Washington. He ts similarly attired, talks and enforces his speech with the forefinger of one hand, but keeps the other in his pocket. Between the two, the Dutch skipper listens and laughs, and gives a side glance at a young negro, also in a breech clout, who is bringing up & gin cocktail. ‘Chere ts only one goblet, and there are three men, but on locking a little closer we see that the negro has a gourd bottle in his left hand, and all anxiety for the two men who have no goblets ter- minates.
