Medical and Dental Departments of the National University. The graduates of the medical and dental schools of National University were for- mally handed their diplomas last evening at Metzerott Hall before a large audience and amid appropriate surroundings. It was the twelfth ennual commencement of the medical and dental departments of Na- tional, and the occasion was one of more than passing interest. The stage was pro- fusely decorated with floral designs, while the body of the house did not lack bunting, the university colors predominating. Those authorized to practice medicine and den- tistry were: Medicine—Barney Babcock, D. D. S., New York; Grafton D. P. Baile: Virgini. Charles E. Ferguson, Illinois; George M. Godfrey, Mississippi; David Elmer Wiber, D. D. S., District of Columbia; Clay Moore, Texas; Mary Louise Strobel, District of Co- lumbia; W. Given Suter, District of Colum- bia; Edgar Williams Watkins, Virginia. Dentistry—Peter T. Kirwan, New Yorl Edmund 0. Pigeon, New York; Joseph Po: pisiel, M. D., Wisconsin; J. Vernon Priddy, District of Columbia; E. E. Rankin, in- diana; A. B. Stine, Pennsylvania. After several musical selections the gradu- ates, together with Dr. John T. Winter, president of the faculty; Mr. Matthew G. Emory, vice president of the university, and Rev. George V. Leech, took places on the stage. Rev. Mr. Leech opened the ex- ercises with prayer, after which Prof. W. D. Bigelow of the Agricultural Department, who is also a member of the faculty of the school, addressed the graduates, unfolding a plan which he declared should be fol- lowed to insure the health of the city, and he charged the young practitioners to do all in their power to secure its fulfillment. In referring to the water supply of the Dis- trict, Prof. Pigelow set forth that Washing- ton would never be safe until its water is filtered, addirg that Potomac water has been pronounced unsafe even by the most conservative experts. Dr. Winter presented the diplomas to the graduates, and a8 each name was “called it was greeted with applause, especially that of the only young lady in the class, Miss Strobel. ‘The valedictory, delivered by Dr. Edgar Williams Watkins, was a scholarly effort, and was fully appreciated by the audience. Dr. Watkins treated of the problem of young men now sent forth to practice medi- cine, and indulged ia considerable wit at the expense of his class mates. The exer- cises closed with a benediction pronounced by Rev. Mr. Leech. —_—_—.__ Transfers of Real Estate. Mary E. Brown to Ellen Doyle, lot G, sq. 467; $3,600. Jno. S.

AT GUNSTON HALL Revolutionary Societies Are Making a Patriotic Pilgrimage, —-—___ GEORGE MASON, THE GREAT COMMONER Tributes to the Famous Author of the Bill of Rights. INSPIRING EXERCISES — Inspired by a spirit distinctive of the ideas they represent, the societies of the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution are celebrating this afternoon at famous old Gunston Hall the 120th anniversary of the passage of the bill of rights by the representatives of Virginia, and paying homage over the rs Up GUNSTON HALL draughts, and the favorite spot for them te fight their batties on the checker board ‘was on the back porch at Gunston Hall, whence a grand view of the Potomac and its shores is obtained. George Mason died and was buried at Gunston Hall by the side of his wife, over whom a massive tomb was erected thet is still in perfect condition, Until last week the mound above Mason was unmarked, but now a granite tomb rises above it. Not the least' reverent portion of today’s exercises will be the decoration of the grave of the great commoner. Departure of the Pilgrims. The steamer Macalester left her wharf this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the hall, having on board a distinguished and rep- resentative gathering, including, besides the many members of the patriotic socie- ties, numerous members of the various law classes in the city. An interesting pro- gram of patriotic exercises has been ar- ranged, including an address by Justice Harlan, who 1s probably the most devout admirer of George Mason at the present day, upon his life and times. At the con- clusion of the exercises the steamer will be taken for Marshall Hall, where dinner will Another s gnificant feature of yration is found in the fact that it first actual step of a co-operative sort taken by the two patriotic” societies since the conventions in Savannah and Richmond, which so strongly urged their consolidation.

Gunston Hall was the home of Mason. The plantation, as it was called In those old colonial days, extended ov more than a thousand acres; and adjoined the estate of Mount Vernon on the south. So George Mason and George Washington were neighbors, and were both members of Pohick Church, which they attended on Sunday, and afterward, if history is to be believed, renewed the asperities which char- acterized their relations to each other re- garding such matters of the cultivation of crops, tre best sort of fences, and those other subjects over which farmers love to differ. Up were of one mind, and 1 one thing, however,the two Georges that was the in- dependence of the colonies, and both gave to its support a ardor and vigor Mason wrote th ‘ation of rights without question, and it is very clear that Thomas Jefferson in writin tion of Independence was thé ideas propounded by Ma great paper.

Hix Prophetic Warning. In the debates in later years on Constitution Mason argued against the six-year term for the upper branch of Congress. He said: “It will create an aris- tocratic class of public men. The Senators will build for themselves houses at the seat of government and endeavor to con- tinue in office in spite of the will of the people.” the Entrance to the Mansion. The old estate where George Mason reigned as a veritable lord of the manor has been cut up into smaller properties. A son of Robert Dale Owen owns a portion of it, ana the mansion and its surround- ings are now in the pessession of Mr. Joseph Specht, who is rever so happy as when entertaining patriotic pilgrims to this shrine of one of its earliest disciples. The Mansion as It Stands. Gunston mansion stands on Gunston Point, overlooking Ponick bay, six miles be- low Mt. Vernon. It is a fine old mansion of Scotch bricks brought over in tobacco ships as ballast, and was built in a most substan- tial manner. It was very much injured during the war by the Louisiana Tigers, Mrs. Mason’s Tomb. who were for a time stationed there, but when in the possession of Col. Edward Daniels, for a long time editor and owner of the Richmond State Journal, it was r stored to its former condition. Happil the elaborate and intricate work of pane ing and the cornices on the interior had not been completely destroyed, and the restora- tion of these was made exact. The Two Georges Played Checkers. Notwithstanding the political differences between Mason and Washington and the:r divergences on the subject of growing to- bacco and curing the same, they had a great respect for each other and inter- changed visits with great regularity and frequency.
