thought for a moment of facing his man.
sion toward a road; the highways were of
little consequence, and usually some dis
lance away. Any one who now rides down
the Potomac or the James cannot fail to
notice that the great estates, like Gunston
Hail. the home of Mason, or Arlington, the
home of Lee, face the river. 1t is but nat
ural that the founders of the capital should
have built what was then popularity called
the Presidents palace on the same theory,
with lawns and gardens extending down to
the water front. They even went further and
developed plans for artificial basin south
of the White House, into which they expected
the incipient canal system of the city was
to focus. The river came much further
finland" than now, and this part of the old
canal has been oblfterated within the recol-
lection of many people now living here.
1t is only as one strolls out in the gar
dens south of the White House that one
really understands it's meaning, or compre-
hends the singular beauty embodied in the
plans of its restoration. The generic scheme
of the mansion was selected by Washing
ton himself, In conference with James Ho-
Quently in consultatio with Jefferson. The
guide books all say that it was modelled
after the Leinster Castle, in Dublin; but
this is incorrect. Mr.. Glenn Brown the
historian of this city's famous architecture,
and the Washington representative of
Mckim, Mead and White, in charge of this
particular work, sent to Dublin and had
photographs made of the castle. Nothing
there justfies the view that the White
House is a copy of it. Both are In Italian
renaissance, but the White House is far
the finer of the two. Mr.. McKim one of
the foremost critics of the day, says that
II is still the best residence house in its ex-
terror lines in this country; others have
been built costing vastly more, but none
which approach it in beauty and refine
ment.
Jefferson's Impress.
The White House is peculiarly Virginian
in its genesis. Not only did the design
chosen of Washington and it's relation to
the water front conform to prevailing Vir-
ginia customs, but Jefferson, who was to
become President while 1t was still in a
formative stage stamped his ideas upon
the structure in a respect which is today
the key to the present Improvements. The
visitor al Monticello notices the basement
wings. or terraces, which Jefferson threw
out from the main part of his mansion
house. These were for the colered servants
and they reflect something of the social
condition of the times. The White House
had the same projections. one of which, in
course of time. became concealed by a con-
serva tory on the top, and SO cloaked on the

workshop by going down the lift to the
basement and walking in the protection of
the terrace itself to the offices. The conser-

westerly terrace were an afterthought, and
appear not to have become prominent until
Grants time. Before that some President
started with little glass house for a few
flowers, and it kept extending until it
reached the proportions with which the
present day public are familiar. All this

the bonds having been previously given

ment recites that the attention of the
grand jury has been directed to the treat
ment of infectious and contagious diseases
by persons who are not regularly licensed
physicians and surgeons, where the rules
of the local and State Board OF Health are
violated.
Continuing. the .presentment says: 1--WE
have given careful consideration to a COM
plaint made to us concerning the death of
a seven-year-old child from neglect. the
child being treated by q so-called Chris
tan Science healer from the city of New
York. who made many visits TO the home
of the child and mingled with the inhab-
itants of the county. both upon the street
and i'm public conveyanceS. This child was
allowed to die without any or the remedies
known to medical science being used, and
medical men called before us testified that
the life of the child could have been saved
had proper treatment been used and proper
remedies applied. This so-called Christian
science treatment was used at the instance
and request of the parents of the child, the
father daily attending to business after
nights spent in the sickroom- We feel
there has been fagrant violation of the
health laws in this case, and We recon-
mend that copy of this presentment
should be sent TO the State Board Of
Usalth for the purpose of enforcing more
stringent laws regarding the quarantining
