WASHING TONS BIRTHPLACE.
Interesting Letter From Mr.. II. j. wash
ington About the Title.

Governor Mckinney yesterday received
the following letter from Mr. r. J. Wash
irgton concerning the title TO the firth
place of General Washington. in West
norcland County:
Oak Grove, Westmoreland county, Va,
January II. 1893
Hon. T. w. Mckinney, Governor of Vir-
ginia, Richmond, Va:
My Dear Sir-The title to the site CT
Washir gtons birthplace, is now, and has
been fer some ten years, ii. the United
States Government. In June or July, 1852,
/ think, the owner of the property, Mr.
j. e. Wilson, my brother-in-law. con-
veyed to the United States Government
some eleven or twelve acres surrounding
the site of the birthplace, the Govern
ment having obtained from he Virginia
LEGISLATURE, at the preceding session, the
right 70 purchase and hold the property.
The State Of Virginia which held the
title to the spot, and one acre of ground
imme diately surrounding. also granted her
interest in the same to the United States
Government. Just before this, the Con
gress OF United States md passed a bill
appropriating 10000 for the purchase of
the ground and the erection Of a monu-
ment on the birthplace of General Wash
ington perpetuate his memory. This
appropriation was by the act of Congress
placed under the control of the Secretary
Of State, with directions to proceed TO
execute the will of Congress, and build
the monument. Secretary Evarts, with
a party, consisting of members of his
family, an engineer and architect, came
down on a Government steamer and
visited the spot. He afterwards submit
ted a design for the monument, but there
the matter stopped. Beyond the purchase
OF the land mentioned. and a right OF
way from the birthplace to the Potomac
river, and obtaining a deed for the same
nothing has been done. although vigorous
efforts have been made TO influence each
Secretary Of State since then to go ahead
with the work. The delay has been ex-
tremely annoying and wholly unaccount-
able. / have to-day written Mr.. Gran
ston, giving him the facts Of the case.

The Albemarle Club gave their first
annual supper last evening at the club
looms on Main street. IL was an in
formal affair, and none but the members
OF the club were present. but It was none
the less enjoyable for all that. and the
occasion was most delightful one to all
who were present.
The supper was served on the lower
floor. where two large rooms were thrown
into one by means Of sliding doors. The
table, which was decorated In beautiful
style. was laden with all the delicacies,
oysters. game. salads. and number or
dainties and fruits set off by a variety
of flowers arranged with artistic taste.
The central figure was quite pretty
one. being a large stand filled with
fruits and decorated with roses and srni-
lax.
st one end of the table was a huge
block Of ice followed out in the centre.
This was filled with raw oysters, and
slices of lemon were placed on the top.
At the supper number of amusing
speeches were made, and the occasion
was pronounced complete success.
During the four months existence OF
the club the membership has increased
from thirty-five 10 ninety.
