INTERESTING HISTORY How ithe Various Buildings Are Designated. PRESIDENTS AND MAYORS eee To the Editor of The Evening Star: On various recent occasions it has been urged that some monument should be erect- ed to L’Enfant for his service in laying out the city of Washington. Not long ago pri- vate parties undertook to perpetuate the name by placing it on a hotel, but after a few months another name was substituted. English-speaking people do not readily adopt French names into common use. Either pronunciation or spelling usualiy becemes modified in the process of trans- fer. If there is any serious public desire to have a monument to the French engineer it would seem quite appropriate that it shoul be a public building rather than a mere obelisk or kindred stone work. There has been just such a monument to L’En- fant*here and its testimony to him has dis- appeared as did that of the more recent hotel. J. Ormond Wilson ex-superintendent of public schools, District of Columbia, read a paper—‘Kighty Years of the Public Schools of Washington, 1805-1885''—before the Columbla Historical Society of Wash- ington, D. C., May 4, 1896. In that paper occurs the following paragraph: “When the large school building on Cap- itoi Hili, fronting Stanton Park, was erect- ed it was named L’Enfant School, and the mame was carved on the bluestone panel, corresponding with the other stone trim- mings, especially designed for this purpose. The citizens of that section of the city, as soon as the name appeared, vigorously pro- tested against it, on the ground. that it would always be mispronounced, and called ‘the Infant School.’ In deference to their wishes a change was made, and so a gray marble slab, inscribed “Peabody School, was placed over the original name. In a distant future some explorer may lift that marbie slab and find buried beneath It tne honors intended to be paid to Charle Pierre L'Enfant, the great engineer, who in plan- ning this city left that reservation, which has now become a most beautiful park for tne benefit of the hundreds of children at- tending the Peabody School.” This paragraph, together with one as to the change of name of the Analostan School to “Grant,” can be found in the re- port of the bureau of education, 1895-'96, page 1697, Mr. Wilson's history having been printed by the bureau for its national relations. The inexpensive restoration of the orig- inal inseription to public view would be ac- complished very readily if the people now wish it. Without public approval the same difficulty about the inscription might repeat itself with any new monument. The name Peabody could readily be utilized in an equally fitting place on one of the buildings soon requiring a name, and public honor could thus be fitly shown to both names. JAMES H. BLODGETT. This matter of the naming of public schools comes to the front with recurring suggestions, and frequently presents some awkward problems. There is no general plan of nomenclature, save that the chief aim is to commemorate those who have stood prominently in the nation, as well as those who have occupied official posi- tions in the District. But there is a lack of system about the selection of the names. All but three of the Presidents have been thus honored, these three being Washing- ton, Hayes and Cleveland. Fourteen of the twenty mayors who were at the head of the old corporation of Washington and three of the twelve mayors of Georgetown have been selected for this purpose. ‘The: other names are scattered among noted Americans, ex-Commissioners, ex-teachers, and, in the case of the colored schools, men and women of both races who have been identified with the liberation and the elevation of the negroes. In view of the communication printed above, The Star has obtained a list of the schools and the sources of ‘their names, which will be found to be interesting. These names follow: White Schools. Abbott—George J. Abbott, Unitarian min- ister. Adams—President. Addison—Mayor of Georgetown, 1845-57, 1859-'67. Amidon—Margaret M. Amidon, teacher. Arthur—President. Benning—Location.

C., and Speclal Correspondénce of The Evening Star. - BALTIMORE, Md., May 25, 1897. At the last session of the Maryland legis- lature, at Annapolis, five commissioners were appointed by Governor Lowndes to se- Ject two deceased Marylanders most worthy "to be honored by statues in Statuary Hall of the national Capitol at Washington. The discussion now going on in the daily Papers in regard to the two most distin- guished Marylenders worthy of such an henor is attracting a great deal of atten- ticn all over the state, and is creating a fresh interest in the history of Maryland. The commission is composed of J. Wirt Randall of Annapolis, Messrs. Reverdy Johnson, Charles J. Bonaparte and Thomas W. Hall of Baltimore city, and James Al- fred Pearce. Mr. Randall is a relative of the eminent Wiliam Wirt. Mr. Johnson is 4 son of the late eminent lawyer, Reverdy Jchnson, and James. Alfred Pearce is a son of the late James Alfred Pearce of Kent county, who was in the United States Sen- ate for several terms as a representaiive of the eastern shore senatorial district. ‘The resolutions passed by the legislature asked the committee to consider “particu- lerly whether or not, in the judgment of such commissioners, one of said statues should be of Francis Scott Key, author of ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ ” Among the names that have been: suggested so far are Key, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Thomas Johnson, Samuel Chase, William Small- wood, John Eager Howard, Stephen Deca- tur, Cecilius Calvert, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney, William Pinkney, John P. Kennedy, Reverdy Johnson, Henry Winter Davis, Luther Martin, Col. Moses Rawl- ings, Chief Justice Buchanan. Prominent Marylanders in Political Life. Maryland has never furnished a candi- date for President of the United States, but she has furnished in times gone by a good. share of members of the cabinet, among them being James ‘McHenry, Secre- tary of War under Washington and the elder Adams; Benjamin Stoddert, Secreta- ry of the Navy under Adams and Jeffer- son; Robert Smith, Attorney General and Secretary of the Navy under Jefferson, and Secretary of State under Madison; William Pinkney, Attorney General under Jackson; John Nelson, Attorney Gencral under Ty- ler; Reverdy ‘on Attorney Generai V, 1t the bar in the District of Columbia. He was United States attorney of the District of Columbia under Jackson and Van Buren, and the intimate and esteemed associate of the great men of his day. A volume of his poems was published in 1857. He dJied in Baltimore January 12, 1843. His eminence as a lawyer has been overshadowed by his fame as the author of “The Star Spangled Banner.” He was an ardent patriot, an able lawyer, and a man of many virtues. The question is, should he be thus honored over the heads of revolutioa- ary statesmen and heroes or the eminent Marylanders of the era_ represented . by William Pinkney, Reverdy Johnson and Henry Winter Davis? eee If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Maxim, as given in the current issue of Cassell’s Family Magazine, the following is given as his own narrative of his present pesition in th> matter of aeronautical ex- periment: “Well, I will only say that at the present time I have given up the premises at Bald- wyn's Park, and that I am moving en to larger premises, where I shall have plenty of room, and that I propose to make a new machine, not so large as the old one, taking advantage of all that has been found out, and-I hope to succeed. All these experiments, however, are exceeding- ly expensive. Still, a flying machine can certainly be made. It is largely a question of money. “When I first commenced my experiments , I found that a machine could be made that .would lift itself—that is, a small apparatus weuld. Both Prof. Langley and myself Were of.the opinion that the same formulae would not do for a large machine. How- ever, I made a very large machine, and Langley made a small one. He lifted more per horse power than I did, because his machine was only a twelfth part as large in any one dimension, but my machine lifted more than its own weight. But I could not learn to maneuver it in the grounds that I had. Moreover, my machine is too large for a first machine, while Langley’s was only a toy. Something, evi- dently, will have to be made between the two, but big enough to carry one man.” Nude Woman on a Window Pane. From the Chicago Chronicle. At certain hours of the day, especially at 9 o'clock in the morning or just before sun- down, the exact reproduction of a nude woman upon a pane of glass in an unpre- tentious dwelling of Kankakee is plainly visible. How it came there is a question scientists may be able to answer. As the woman bears a close resemblance to a for- mer occupant of the dwelling, neighbors and numerous other Kankakeeans who have become much interested in the phe- nomenon have an explanatior of their own. They believe it to be a photograph taken by a flash of lightning. = It is thought that some time, probably during a storm, a woman in a state of nature had vecome frightened, came from her sleeping. room to draw the blinds and a flash of lightning photographed her form upon the glass. The picture was discovered a week ago when a young man sitting in a house near- ly opposite observed what he thought was the reflection on the window pane of a woman bething in the house in question. Supposing that a mirror reflected the form through the door of an adjoining room he called to his sister, and, pointing out the singular sight, requested her to run across the street and tell the woman to pull down the blinds. The young woman ran across the street, rapped upon the door and was surprised to see the only woman in the house appear, fully dressed. Being informed of the figure in the win- dow the woman was surprised and said no one had taken a bath that day. An investigation followed. Sure enough, there in the glass was the figure of a ander Taylor; Jo) endleton Kennedy, Secretary of the Navy under Fillmore: Philip Frank Thomigs of the eastern shore, Secretary of the Treagiiry under Buchan~ an; Montgomery Blaif,, Postmaster General under Lincoln; Johp A. J. Creswell of the eastern shore, Postmaster General under Grant, and James, A. Gary, Postmaster General under M¢Kinley. James Alfred Pearce of Kent county, was appointed Sec- retary of the Interior ‘by President Fill- more, but declined. Robert H. Harrlson- Thomas Johnson, Samuel Chase, Gabriel Duval and Roger_B: Taney were justices of.the Supreme Court. John E. Howard and Samuel Smith were presidents pro tem: of the United Btates Senate. . ieee ‘Thomas Johnson -was the great war goy- ernor of Maryland.,, Jt was he who led in, the province of Maryiand the opposition, to the stamp tax. It was he who was a.chief ipromoier ef the cal for the. first.@onsi- pnental, Congress: As a member of Congress he nominated Washington for commander fin chief, and during the..war Washington relied’ upon his, aid, more, perhaps, than ‘upon any other man. He was elected. to the highest offices. Three times. he -was chosen, governor of Maryland, was chief judge of the general court of Maryland, as- sociate justice of the Supreme Court.of the United States, and Washington tendered to him the office of chief justice of the United States-and insisted upon his taking it, but it was declined. He also declined an equal- ly pressing and urgent request from Wash- ington to take the portfolio of Secretary. of State. In military affairs also he had a career. When Washington was retreating through New Jersey he appealed to John- son for aid, and Johnson responded with a body of 1,800 choice soldiers, which he re- cruited in the western part of the state and led to the seat of war. In civil affairs, in the development of the state, he took a leading part. Probably no Merylander had such a great career, Great in Revolutionary Days. No one from Maryland is so well known from a national standpoint as Charles Car- roli of Carrollton, as signer, statesman and patriot. He was the recognized leader in his day of those who stood between Mary- land and her English foes, who sought to deprive her of her rights and liberty. His influence and patriotism during the revolu- tion helped us to freedom. No one is more worthy of recognition than he, who, by his services, became prominent at that time. He and his descendants have also enriched the state and city by large gifts of land. These of the original thirteen states which have placed statues in Statuary Hall have nearly all taken characters from the revolutionary period. The two Breat reprezentative-types of that period are: In the cabinet, Samuel Chase; in the field, William Smallwood. Chase was un- doubtedly in this state the moving spirit of his time. He resisted the stamp act, and assisted in burning tne stamps; he was in ‘the Continental Congress continually from 1774 to 1778; he it was who first spoke of American . independence; he delivered speeches in Maryland in its favor. He was in continual discussion answering ‘the tories. He signed the Declaration of Inde- Penden-e enthusiastically. The state sent him to England in 1783 to recover money invested by it in the Bank of England be- fore the war. He secured ‘$650,000, and re- ceived the thanks of the legislature for his zeal. He was a judge in Maryland, and Washington appointed him 4 justice of the United States Supreme Court. His great- ness and purity were beyond question. Gen. Smallwood was Maryland’s highest rarking officer in the continental army. At White Plains he and his troops bore the brunt of the fight; there he was wounded.
