WASHINGTON SOCIAL LIFE.

For good and evil Washington City has all
along fairly reflected the growth and develop
ment of the Nation. though not always as faith
fsIIy as it does now. This has been the case
most especially in the growth of the city's popu-
lation from a pitiful and, for the most part,
shifting population of about 1000 10 something
like 100000. mostly permanent residents. The
increasing stability and dignity of the United
States have been marked by the multiplication
and enlargement of the Government offices. by
the increasing number of residences permanently
occupied as embassies and legations by foreign
Powers, and by the establishment there Of
wealthy families who have chosen the capital
as their residence purely for the sake of its dis
Jinctivey cosmopolitan social life, that,
every one knows, there in Washington
official society and unofficial which may
have points of contact but which entirely
distinct. This extraoficiaI society has been
building up no doubt, by degrees ever since the
days when Major LEnfant fell foul Of men,
Der of the old Calvertian aristocracy Of Mary
land but in the days when the hollow between
Anacostia River and Rock Greek was called "a
Serbonian bog few men women of wealth
and leisure would have migrated to Washington
and settled there merely to enjoy life. 1t is said
that such immigration has increased within the
last generation out of all proportion to the gen.
eraI increase of the Nations growth in the same
time.
The centennial anniversary of the transfer Of
the seat OF government from Philadelphia to
Washington will be httingly celebrated
Wednesday, December II. when President Nc
Kinley will receive at the White House the

Long Bridge which connects the District with
the reeeded portion Of the State Of Virginia But
the Civil War ended without any realization Of
such fears
At the close of that war the citv of Washing
ton was invested with a more sombre and ex-
aited dignity as the scene Of the martyrdom Of
a president second in greatness only to Wash
Ington himself; and with the period of National
reconstruction began the most glorious period
or the Federal city's material prosperity Even
as late as 1871 Washington was by no means
either convenient or a healthy city to live in;
It's paving, lighting and drainage were all dis
creditabie. In that year Congress annuIIed the
municipal charter under which the city had been
governed and placed the District on the footing
OF Territory of the United States, with Alex
ander shepherd as Governor. Shepherd ac-
qured a bad reputation by his official exploits
ana three years later he went to Mexico much in
the guise Of a fugitive from justice; but his
tenure OF office marked the beginning Of a
change for the better in all the outward aspects
OF Washington 1t was then that the magnif-
cent dreams of LEnfant began to be realized,
and since that time the thoroughfares, the
parks, the public buildings. both Federal and
municipal, have increased in dignity and beauty
until to-day it is difficult to realize a condition
OF affairs at the capital of the United States
which could have given subjects of the older
nations occasion for jeering at its squaIor and
insignifcance. The Territorial form of govern
ment has since been abandoned, and the govern
ment Of the whole District placed in the hands
Of Commissioners.

On the first Monday of December 1900 the

Executive, removed from Philadelphia where il
had been seated since 1890, to its new home
The Federal archives and a large number of
clerks and subordinate officials were brought
round by the river in a coasting sIoop and set
down on what, with few exceptions they re-
garded a hdeous and unwholesome swamp
beyond the confines of civilization. Everybody
from the Treasury clerks and their families up
to Mrs. Adams the Presidents wife grumbled
and repined at the change. The Capitol was un-
finished, and made. they universally com
planned, a very unfit shelter for the Nations
Legislators. OF the latter, when Congress as
sembled only few could find board and lodg-
ings within the limits Of the Federal city itself
and the Union Tavern at Georgetown became
for some sessions a crowded caravansery of
Senators and Congressman from all parts OF
the country.
