BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY.
Editor Stdr:-In your notice i'm last evening"
STAR OF Mrs. Bryant's reception, allow me to
correct an error into which your reporter has
fallen. This property originally belonged to Mr.
John Graham, who built a fine house. q portion
OF the present structure, and who resided on the
premises for many years. Mr.. Graham was q
distinguished citizen of w ashington, and was at
the time referred to chief clerk Of the Depart
ment Of State under Mr.. Monroe, having previ-
ously held the appointment Of secretary Of lega-
ton TO the Court Of Madrid under our Minister.
Chancellor Livingston. Mr.. Graham was sub
sequently appointed by President Monroe one
OF the commissioners under Mr.. Clay's memora-
BILE resolution to recognize the independence of
the South American States, and at the time of
his death which occurred in this city during the
summer Of 1920, at the residence of his brother
in-law, Mr.. Andrew Ramsay, he was Minister
PleniPotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at
Brazil, in which country he contracted his fatal
illness. After the death of Mr.. Graham the
property passed into the possession of his widow,
who some years thereafter disposed of IL to her
brother Mr.. Charles Hill, Of Prince Georges
county, Nd, and who in his new residence dis
pensed the same open hospitality that now is so
proverbial at Highland Place." This reminis-
cence is given merely 90 correct local history
and for the special benefit of the Society of the
Oldest Inhabitants, which, like cold mortality"
is constantly bringing to light the valuable and
interesting inscriptions which disclose the past
history OF Washington.

to be living within his means. The amount
taken was something less than 81 500, of which
he has returned $1,000, the money being made
for which the postmaster holds his note Upon

Partial BURNING OF castle STEVENS"
The costly residence of the late Edwin A.

HobOken firemen being unable to extinguish the

arrival OF the latter the fire was subdued. The
fire in the meantime had burned the observ atory
room and the stories above to the cOrnices of

was not injured by the fire. The damage to the

The Public school (,Ouundrums-

NJ. Edttcr-'Citizen" appears still to show
the interest he is taking in our public school ed
ucation, or at least in some unfortunate appli-
cants for examination for teacherships, for we
lind him again in The STAR Of yesterday.
The undersigned now begs to inform your
many readers that the communication of "Citi-
zen," in yesterdays STAR, is full Of untruth,
as can prove by the parties who attended the
examination. In the first place, it is not true
that those who left early failed, and is certainly
untrue that those who passed the examination
worked till 0'elsck p. m. None of the appl-
cants remained after p. m, while could name
applicants who finished the examination at u
m, 1890 and p. m, and passed, some of them
among the best. The report Of the committee.
of which Citizen speaks, cannot show any
thing, as he states, for the report has not been
made and when II is made il will not show the
hour when applicants finished their work. The
wen-informed +" Citizen' further states, or insin-
yates, that questions were given which are not
answered in the text books used in the schools,
and as proof cites question which does not
appear among the questions given at the late
examination, namely ''What is the difference
between simple and annual interest of q given
sum for two years." So much for to-day. Try
again, "Citizen:" but if you do, and expect an
other reply, sign your name to your commun-
cation, and then lao doubt the "Coauadrnm oil

EDITOR EVENING STAR:-I noticed that In

a careful and truthful statement Of the dis

of such men as Geo. W. Riggs, j Judge Fisher. and
two or three other well-known property holders
because believe such statement necessary to
secure from Congress tne necessary aid to COM

the interlineations in the resolution referred to
were not made by N. G. Ordway, and am in

not written BY him, and that he was not even
consulted in relation to it. I will further say
that l have not spoken to Judge Roosevelt upon
this or any other subject for more than a month,
and that did not know that the resolution had
been introduced by him until saw it in the
papers the next day.
desire this correction made, because do
not wish to appropriate the efforts of other peO-

not about time for all good citizens who are in

District to drop personal asperities and bicker-
ings, and unite In an honest effort to secure the
means of completing such improvements as are
absolutely necessary, and II any considerable
number of Taxpayers are dissatisfied with the
manner in which the revenues Of the District
have thus far been expended, II would be only
following the custom which prevails in every
other community. to have an auditing commit
