special washington Letter.l

NIE RECENTLY had talk about
w the development of Greater
Washington, according to plans
ana purposes of the executive and
legislative branches of the federal gov
eminent; and this is supplementary to
that statement of current history.
The citizens who have opportunity
to visit the capital city of this repub-
lie take occasion always to express
their pride in its beauty, but they dc
not realize the fact that its grandeur
is due primarily TO the genius of l. En-
FAINT, the man whose brain conceived
and whose skilled fingers drafted the
plan upon which it has been builded.
As matter of fact, this city has
been a gradual growth, from decade to
decade, and but for the commands of
Washington, requiring that every de-
velopment should be in accordance
with the original designs of L 'Enfant,
this city would be as zig-zag and un-
symmetrical as cow-paths could have
made it. But every city government
has carefully adhered to the original
plans, so that out of domestic condi-
tons symmetry has resulted. Within
the memory of the writer, farm lands
have been invaded, subdivided and
bullaed upon, by street and avenue ex-
tension of the plans made so many,
many years ago.
Now that the congress has author
bed a complete system of extension
of the highways, in accordance with
L'Enfant's plan, the gentlemen in
charge in the work, which will stand
for century of city development, are
bothered by street and locality no.
menclature. The people have hereto
fore paid little attention to this sub
ject, but it is very interesting.
In its beginning every town is more
or less crude and uncouth. Only as it
grows into pretentious proportions
the civic pride of its people develops.
Early conditions and events have a
way of leaving their traces in names;
thiA being apparently the principal
means Of linking past with present
conditions and environments His
tory shows us that many secrets are
nnraveled in names of locations and
individuals.
There is no other way probably in
which people put themselves on rec
ord in a more spontaneous manner
than the names they give to things
about them. So it happens that the
residents of new towns sum up many
of the picturesque, unhappy, ludicrous
or grotesque incidents and conditions
OF the early days by the names which
they give their cities, streets, build
ings and environs.
As a town grows older its early
names are replaced by new ones, fire.

qrcntly much more euphonious and
conventional, but seldom as full of
meaning. Thus it seems that people
who have been content to have their
mail addressed Dead Mans Gulch,
Snakeville, Cowtown or Windy Gap,
eventually begin to feel an aesthetic
longing in their souls which leads them
to have the names of their post Of
fees changed to Buena Vista, Lake
side, Glendower or Idlewild. This is
usually accomplished against the
wishes of the "old- timers" who feel it
a sacrilege to dishonor local tradi-
tions
But although the name of town be
changed, and its streets rechristened,
the old traditions viii be kept up in the
names of its alleys, and of particular
localities of doubtful desrability.
The reason for this is because the
progress which sweeps the old things
away elsewhere doesn't penetrate
these places. Hence in every large
city, where the landmarks ofits found
ing are annually disappearing, many

and less improved localities.
Washington is no exception in this.
and study of the names of its alleys
must convince one that this is a mat
ter in which very little interest has
been taken by the citizens. In almost
every section Of the city alleys are to
be found with amusing and surprising
nam0>. behind many of which there
is doubtless a wealth of local history,
while in others nothing more than
vagrant within or passing fancy is ex-
pressed.

certain section Of Washington be-
tween the capitol and the Potomac
river came 10 be known, and is stiU
called "Bloodfield." The name is less
deserved now than it once was. but in
tbs popular mind it win live on long
after the reason for it has lapsed:
just as few people could recon

north Of Washington down past the

street and avenue extension are both
cred with the names of the thorough
fares which are being extended. They
have concluded that blood alley"
should be called Broad alley" and
that Fighting alley" ambush al
ley" and Savage alley" shall be named
after less disreputable historic events
of their localities, and they are to be
called streets instead of alleys.
1t has been decided that there shall
be no change made in the paved alleys,
which will continue to be known as
Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist,
Catholic and Grace alleys; because
their names are suggestive of good
things and good people. Moreover,
their denizens are typical of the re-
ligious beliefs indicated by their APP
pellations.
There are two Pig alleys, three Hog
alleys and five Bacon alleys, which will
keep their names, just as Cow alley
will be allowed to hold it's own. The
porcines and bovines whose peregrina-
tions to the sledge and knife of the
butcher gave names to their highways
no longer reach the tables of epicures
in that way; but the names -of the
pathways will be retained by these
wise officials who think that growing
city should retain, for at least time,
a part of its local traditions. Par
enthetically. it might be said, that it
is a pity Chicago might not retain
some Of the names of its cowpaths and
pigpaths, instead of the names of pres
idents which have been assumed dur
ing these later years, since
"The fire flend threw back his red mantle.
From off his big blood-dappled vest,

have already decided upon certain

that they will manifest sufficient
