OPINIONS RENDERED.
Attorney Duvan Passes UpOu Re-
quests for Exemptions.

In the matter of the application of Mr.
!. s. Lyon for exemption from taxes of
lot Il, square bounded by 18th and 14th
and K and l. streets southeast, the attor-
ney for the District has advised the Com
missioners that the request should be re-
fused. Mr.. Lyon granted a religious So
ciety the right to use the lot, and the So
cfety erected thereon a structure which
has been exempted from taxation. But,
as the organization is not the owner of the
land, the attorney holds that the tax there
on must be paid.
In the case of the request of Mr. Geo.
w. Stickney for cancellation of general
taxes for 1899 and 1900 assessed against lot
: and part of lot Z. square bounded by
11th and 18th. H and / streets southeast,
the attorney says the property should be
exempted from taxation from January /,
1900. The Rev. w. L. Bruen, the owner of
the land, erected thereon church edifice
In 1897, and December %, 1893, conveyed
the property to the trustees of the Balti-
more annual conference of the NJ E.
Church. 1t is because of this conveyance
that the attorney holds that the property
should be exempted from the LIST instant.

CONGRESSMAN HIT.
The Greatest American Authority ON
international Questions.

The Greatest American Authority on
international Questions.
One Of the most interesting men in
American political life today is Con-
gresham Robert Roberts Hit, of ILL.,
uois, the chairman of the hous.. COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Not only
has he figured prominently in national
and international affairs for nearly
generation. but he has enjoyed per-
sonal relations Of peculiarly close
character with more men Of enlnence.
perhaps, than any other man Of the
day.
Away back before the war. when
mere boy, he was attached to Abraham
Lincoln in a way that gave hun envia.
BILE facilities for studying the processes
Of Iincoln's mind. He was a htenog-
rapher and newspaper reporter for
the Chicago Tribune, at that time the
one great Republican organ OF the
West, and throughout the memorable
debate between Lincoln and Douglas,
preceding the latter's election to the
United States Senate young Hit fol-
lowed Lincoln, taking down in short
hand every word that publicly fell from
ais lips. These famous addresses,
which made Lincoln's national reputa-
ton, and which more than anything
Else contributed to his election as Pres
dent. owe their permanent and endur-
ng form to the young reporters notes,
i've originals of which the Congressman
till boards among his literary treas
Tres. Lincoln called him Bob" and
vas fond Of the boy.
After the war Hit went to washing
:on as clerk of a Congressional com
nittee and had an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the great states
men of the reconstruction era.
His good luck sent him to Paris in
1874, Just after the Franco Prussiun
war, as secretary Of legation and
charge d'atfares adj interim. History
vas being made rapidly in the French
capital in those days. and Hit spent
seven years in Paris, period which
was closely packed with important
events. He returned to Washington in
1881 to become Assistant Secretary of
state, and the next year was elected
/ member of the House Of Representa-
ives. All through his career in Con-
yress he has been conspicuous in the
discussion of international questions,
md now, as chairman Of the uouse !

But a prayer from my heart like a benz

What does he wonder and what does ne
That we have forgotten so long, long

Kathed in the dawnlight what does ne
That slow years have hidden from you

Speak to mo. little one. ere yon forget
What is the thought that Is lingering

Where is the land where the yesterdays
Waiting and waiting the morrows to

Bright as the moonlight asleep in the

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake told an
interesting story of the Goddess OF
Liberty on the Washington Capitol the
other day. 1t was during n discussion
Of the life Of Jefferson Davis. "YOu
may not knows" she said, that Davis
was one of the committee to select the
statue Of liberty for the top of the cap

Phrygian cap. as it was given to their
slaves by the Phrygians, when eman-
cipated, as a badge of freedom. Davis
said the statue should not have such
a henddress, so instead she wears Il
helmet with feathers "Amcrican lib

shall wear no badge but the feathers

distinguishes the great soldier from the
pacity for taking infinite pains. The
grind Of work he has been through In
the Soudan, making riflemen from
mud" probably no one but himself
knows. 1t Is to him and to men like
him that the new Egyptian army owes
Its existence to-day, and the results
were for all the world to see at the
Atbara and at Omdurman
He Is Il stern disciplinarian, sparing
no man, himself least Of all, but he Is
adorcd by every black Soudanese and
brown "Gippy" who ever followed him
Into battle; for he Is n leader after their
own hearts.
In spite, however Of the warm liking
he inspires in those above and under
him, 1t Is on record that some Of his
lusky Soudanese once mutinled against
him. Macdonald's method of dealing
with the outbreak once again illus
trates the man. His regiment had Of
necessity TO make long forced marches
under the fierce desert sun, and the
conditions We're so hard that the men
became mutinous. One day during the
march Macdonald heard two or three
of the native soldiers saying: "Wnit
till the next fight and | will take care
that this slave driver Of n colonel does
not come ont alive. myself will shoot
him."
Macdonald recognized the men by
their voices. called a halt and sternly
ordered the culprits to step out from
the ranks. Facing them he cried:
"NOw, you are the men who are going
to shoot me In the next fight. Why
wait so long? Why do not do 1t now!
Here | am. shoot me-if You dare.'
The rebels grounded their arms IN
Bullen silence.
