SOME HIGH TRIBUTES.
A high tribute was recently paid to-
General Lee by President Andrews, Of
Brown University, Providence. Il. J.. who
i'm a public address declared that Robert
T.. Lee was the greatest soldier OF mod
ern time.
the following verses from the pen OF
the late Lord Derby, the distinguished
English statesman, written on the fly
leaf of a presentation copy OF his fine
English translation Of Homer's Had.

Il. Lee just before the latter's death.
These verses are alike a tribute 10 Gen
eral Lees merits> and 90 the purity OF
the cause for which he fought.

Receive him in our native tongue,

We are reminded perhaps more wildly
than ever OF the valorous soldier the

good American.
Next Wednesday will be the ninety

pirate respect will be shown the memory
Of Nirginia's noble son.
Tonight the Rev Dr. John William
Jones will preach Il sermon especially
appropriate TO the occasion at the Broad
Street Methodist church. II will be the
annual sermon before the members OF
Ice Camp Confederate Veterans in cele-
bration of Lees birthday. and the vete-
rams are expected TO meet at the hall of
Lee Camp on Broad street half an hour

body to the church where special seats
will be reserved for them. Members of
Pickett Camp Confederate Veterans. Lee
Camp, Sons Of Veterans. and other Con-
federate organizations in the city are cor
daily invited to attend the service.
DR.. Jones is probably as familiar with
the life and deeds OF General Lee as is

liver an interesting and helpful address.

Golden Medical Discovery. There
have been thousands of such cases,
and ninety-eight Out of every hun
dred have been cured. The success
of this remedy is due to its co-opera-
ton with nature along natural lines.
The common treatment Of weak
lungs is based upon the theory that
they need strengthening, and that
strength comes by nourishment. And
so an attempt is made to feed the
lungs with cod liver Oil or enulsions,
which differ only in degrees of nastl-
ness. But it is notorious that, except
as a palliative, the oil has little value.
The theory of nourishment and
strength by nourishment is all right,
but it needs a broader application.

The old Octagon House, leased by the
American Institute of Architects has a
place of it's own in history. 1t is on the
corner of New York avenue and 18th
street, where 1t has stood since 1898 and
has for it's neighbor now the beautiful
new Corcoran Art Gallery.
1t was the property of Col. John Tayloe,
one of the twelve children of John Tayloe,
who was member of the House of
Burgesses and founded the noted estate of
Mount Airy, Virginia. The Tayloes inter-
narried with the Corbins, the Lees the
Washingtons, the Carriers. the Pages and
nearly every other prominent family of
Virginia. The mother of Colonel John Tay-
loe was a daughter of Governor Platter of
Maryland, and his wife was Anne daugh-
ter of Benjamin Ogle, also governor of
Maryland.
For those days Colonel John TAYLOR, who
was commissioned by Washington in the
revolution, was very wealthy man, hav-
ing at the age of twenty income of
nearly sixty thousand dollars year, and
when the Octagon was built it had in
CT eased to $4,000 a year. His eldest son.
John, was In the navy and was distin-
guished in the sea fights of the "Constitu-
ton" with the "Guerriere" and of the 'Cy-
ane'' in the Levart.
Colonel Tayloe was an intimate friend
of General Washington, and it was on the
latter's advice that the Octagon was built
in this city. Colonel Tayloe had previously
Gen. WashingtOn's Interest.
The Octagon was commenced in 179S and
was completed in 1900. During the process
of erection Gen. Washington took a lively
interest in the work and often visited the
place After the war of 1872 the British
having burned the White House. President
James Madison occupied the Octagon for
some time and during his residence there
| the treaty of Ghent between the United
States and Great Britain was signed by
him in February, 1915, in the circular room
over the vestibule.
At this period Col. Tayloe was distin-
guished for the unrivaled splendor of his
| household and equipages, and his establish
ment was renowned throughout thu coun-
| try for it's entertainments. Among his in
| Inmates and frequent guests were Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, j. Q. Adams Deca-
| tur, Porter, Webster, Clay, Calhoun. RAN
| dolph, Lafayette, Steuben and Sir Edward
| Thornton, father of the Thornton who
States. Col. Tayloe died in 1928. and his
death ended the splendid hospitalities of
| the OctagCn, which had covered a period
of nearly thirty years.
The house is well built of brick, trim
med with Aqua creek sandstone. The lot
| is triangular in form and fenced in by a
| high brick wall. The kitchen, stable and
outhouses are built of brick for the accom-
mediation of servants and horses. Col. Tay-
| Ice was a noted horseman and kept many
| fine running horses. The building and walls
conform accurately to the street lines. show
| ing that the streets were laid off even at
| that early day.
Interior Finish.
The interior is elaborately finished the
doors and shutters being of mahogany, and
all still in an excellent state Of preservation.
