The term “old glass house” to early ‘Washingtonians meant not only the factory, but included the group of ‘workers living around it and forming a part of what was then known as the village 'of Funkstown, or Hamburg.

In the National Intelligencer of May 30, 1822, appears a notice of the transfer of the “Washington City Glass House and Works,” then in the zenith of their success.

Firmly fixed in the hearts of our people. it prom- ises to hold its place for centuries yet to come. Francis Scott Key, its author, was the son of John Ross Key, who had been an officer in the revolutionary war. Key the ;younger was born in} Frederick toun!y. Md., in August, 1780, when the hearts of American patriots were aflame with a love for the new freedom which had been won from Mother England. After & ~ high school education in his native county he studied law and was ad- mitted to the bar at Frederick, but a llt‘flt later he moved to George- town and was district attorney for three terms. President Jackson fre- quently intrusted him with delicate missions, which’shows the high e: teem in which he was.held at-Wash- ington. Key waa something of a dreamer and wrote a good many creditable things for the Washington and Baiti- more papers. He died in 1843, but a dozen years later his poems were col- lected and published in book form, many of them containing lines of rare_merit 3 .

While. Key Was a temporary prisoner an the Brit- ish warship Surprise he watched the Iflrlulh attack on Baltimore. chiefly the bombardment of Fort McHenry, jand for a time it seemed as if the forts protecting the city would falj and the British attack prove a suc- fcess. Tnder this strain and suspense every nltrln!ic ‘feeling of Key was strained to the highest pitch. All of his love. for country was aroused and for hours he waiched intently to see what the result would be. Finally, .when it was evident the attack would fail, ‘the mists which hung over the forts lifted ‘and “Old Glosy” waved deflantly in the breeze. Then all the I‘lory of the old flag’ came over the watcher with tremendous force and in & few minutes the famous song was written—all under the lpell of the greatest excitement. The first copy was taken to the of- fice -of the Baltimore American and was set up In broad:sheet form by Samuél Sands, a printer's apprentice of twelve. He was alone In the of- fice, all the others having gone to the defense of the city. Some minor changes were'made in _the original by Key in 1840, when he wrote out some exira coples for his friends, but in. the main thé ‘poem 1s the same as originally -written. « A beautiful marble monument stands in Baltimore to Francis Scott Key- Eift from the city which prompted immortal . song. ther nas been ‘m in" San. isco by James | Lick:" ed efforts have been made, to build Another at his birth- vhuh-mlfl..ilbhl_t' pald for by voluntary - contributi from the entire nation, inasmuch as Dbecol may know what they may—and may { | “Do not pick any from groups of less than ten to twelve flowers, un- less the groups are very sabundant, s0 as to leave plenty for seed. “Cut woody stems close to the base of the flowering branch so the wound ! will Heal over and prevent fungusj disease from entering.
