the prize money received from his gal

and on its walls were pictures of his
great and victorious battles with the
Macedonian.
Out of this house he crept at dawn on
March %, 1920, with a cloak about him
and box of dueling pistols under his
arm. The sailor had necessarily been
away much, and his early departure did
not excite remark. He was forty years
old, handsome, rich. popular, and at the
height Of his fame. Down the Avenue
he went, 10 Beale's Hotel on Capitol Hill,
and there breakfasted with Bainbridge,
his second in the duel, and his evil
genius. Two hours later beckoned by
false sentiment, he lay stretched on the

burg, and Commodore Barron his antag-

Of 4 bellows is obyiated. The lens board
aud some of the mountings of the focus
ing screen are of black walnut, the re-
mainder of the camera is OF pine, finished
by hard oil dressing.
The camera is of liberal dimensions, be-
ing nine inches in height and eleven in
width, having. when extended, n length
of twenty inches; and yet it was only in
tended for a daguerreotype plate of 3A x
AZ. The mount shows that the lens was
MANUFACTURED in Paris by Louis and An
Dire Briton.
This camera was made to order for S.
F. b. Morse, the inventor OF the tele-
graph. Mr.. Morse was in Paris at the
time the French Chamber of DEPUTIES was
considering the proposition of pensioning
Daguerre reward for his discovery in
photography and the right to publish his
discovery to the world. Mr. Morse called
upon Daguerre and was promised that If
the French Government purchased the in
vention he would promptly notify him of
the details OF the process, ard gave him
some valuable advice as to the purchase
of lens and the construction of the
camera.
Upon his return TO the United States
Mr.. Morse brought with him the lens
referred to. and soon after the purchase

means of arousing enthusiasm
~ among the amateurs of the Dis
~ trict In the coming exhibition, the
exhibition committee of the Cap
ital Camera Club have arranged for an in
formal talk on exhibition pictures at the
clubrooTs on Monday, March 3, at p.
m, and all who are interested in photog-
rapby and in exhibition work will be
made welcome. This informal talk will
be given by one of the club members, and
it is expected, If the interest shown should
warrant such a course, to provide other
lectures later on by some of the promi-
nent artists of this city.
From Bostop comes Photographic news
of most encouraging nature. Mr.. Eric
Pape, well known as an artist, and with a
high reputation as an illustrator, has
started class in composition, with a
series of some twelve or more lessons
planned. Mr.. Pape has for his pupils
photographers, men OF progressive ideas
and genuine desire for improvement
along recognized art lines. The class
seems enthusiastic ana the benefits of in
struction by such a capable teacher will

soon be apparent by improvement in
their work in artistic directions.
There is no doubt that photographers,
as class, are as clever and apt in doing
things as any representatives Of other
occupations. Their shortcomings (and
they are many are not because they do
not know how to reach results but be-
cause they have not known what they
should strive for. AS class many have
been without opportunities for instruc-
ton In the principles of composition and
the proper relation of light and shade, but
the barriers are now being swept away;
artists are willing to teach the photog-
raphers are anxious to learn, and the
course OF art is taking another upward
move.
Why should Washington be behind Bos-
ton in such matters? We have here
two good art schools, the Cor
coran Gallery of Art ard the Art
Students League. The latter has just
closed very creditable retrospective ex-
hibition and has made a stirring appeal
to the people at large for support. Is
it not possible that in one or both OF

1S49. The building afterward was pur-
chased by Admiral Wilkes, and was occu-
pied by him when Slidell. whom he was
soon to take off a British ship on the high
seas, lived within a stones throw. 1t is
now the home of the Cosmos Club.
In 1914, when the White House was
burned, ogle Tayloe placed his "octag on''
at the service of President Madison, and
the building was the Executive Mansion
for several years. Here the understood
fourth President, supported by his hand
come and yivacious wife. Dorothy, or
Dolly" as she was called, held their
New Years levee in 1915, and their sub
sequent famous balls; and here the great
Treaty of Client was signed in the cir
cular room over the vestibule. Here also

these schools classes might be formed for
the purpose of teaching the elements of
composition, either by the selection of
representative work and its studious an
alysis in the presence of the class, or
by such other methods as the instruc-
tors might deem best suited to the needs
of the class?
At the present time there are no OPP
portunities ofSthis kind in the city. The
amateurs can Usually by dint of hard
questioning and bitter experience learn
the technical phases of photography, but
who is to teach them its art side which
should go hand in hand with the technical
knowledge? Who is TO teach them at
all? Photographs are not pictures, al
though pictures may and are being made
every day by photography.

Dwellings of Famous Men and
Women Who Made Their Homes
in the Nations Capital---Stories
Connected with Old Landmarks.

IF THE doors of Washington's historic
houses should suddenly receive, at
i cnce, all of the greatest men they
have sheltered in the last three gem
erations, the histories of the United
States would be emptied of their heroes
and the pages of American biographies
would be blank.
The founders Of the United States knew
little OF their Capital, for there was but
little to know. AS the years passed, how
ever, and the city began to grow with
the nation, Washington became centre
OF culture, filled with men and women Of
brilliancy, many of whose homes may be
viewed today by the present generation
Lafayette Park.
Around Lafayette Park the memo
ries of great Americans, in the shape OF
their homes. are clustered thicker, per-
haps, than in any other section of the
Capital.
The "old home Of Daniel Webster" was
the residence of the banker and philan-
thropist W. w. Coreoran, and is now oc-
cupied by Senator Depew of New York.
The great house, with a spacious wing
On each hand, stands on the upper side
of Lafayette Park, across which it looks
TO the White House. The grounds in the
rear form the finest private garden and
park in this city.
This mansion was built by the father
of Ex-Governor Swami of Maryland, who
was succeeded in its occupancy by Daniel
Webster when that statesman became
Secretary of State in the Cabinet Of Mr..
Fillmore. Mr. Webster was luxurious in
his habits. and rented the best house in
Washington in the same spirit that in
duced him to feast upon terrapin and
champagne. He always lived beyond his
income 1t is reported that he was gen
orally behind in the payment of his rent.
His friends lent him good deal Of money
and 1t is said that just before lie gave
very swell dinner he telegraphed to a
friend in Boston: Send me $4,000 at once.
Must give a great banquet next Monday"
The money was forwarded
After Webster's death the house be-
came the property and was long the home
of William w. Coreoran. During the
civil war he rented it to NJ. Montholon,
the French Minister TO this Government,
who kept up its conviviaI reputation.

of the secret from Daguerre this, the
first camera of the United States, was
made.
During the existence of the National
Photographic Association the camera was
presented to the society by Mr.. Morse,
and upon the dissolution of the society
the camera was purchased by the Ma
tional Museum.
While Mr.. Morse was better known as
the inventor OF the telegraph, he was
prominently known at one time in art
circles. His art studies were pursued
under such prominent instructors as
Washington Allison and Benjamin West,
and he was one OF the founders of the
New York Academy of Design, and served
the organization as its president for sew
eral years. Among his pictures his House
CT Representatives was exhibited at the
National Academy in 1929.
This picture. now in the Corcoran Gal
lery, is one of the reminders of the old
days. when the House of Representatives
met in what is now the Statuary Hall of
the Capitol, and while it possesses great
historic interest, its object is somewhat
lessened from the fact that the key to
the painting, showing the names of the
Congressman portrayed and their location
in the picture. was in some manner lost
in the transferring of the picture from the
old to the present gallery.

Madison in 1901, when he came to Wash
ington and served as Jefferson's Secre-
tary of State, till he was chosen Presi-
dent. Thither, twenty years later, Dolly
Madison returned after her distinguished
husbands death, and there for fifteen
years she held court and dispensed during
the remainder of sunny life her
gracious hospitality. Although Quaker

in Washington. 1t was the etiquette of

he was proud to have reared with the
proceeds from duels on the sea, and
there, in the midst OF his frenzied family,
he died miserably at midnight. Barron
survived his wound, and dragged out a
crippledNand paralyzed existence, and De-
catur's widow found refuge in a con-
vent
Decatur was the aggressor from the
first, and he persisted at the hand of the
victim he had insulted and prosecuted.

David Burns Cabin.

LAWN DuIllS AdOIil.
David Burns cabin used to be great
attraction for the signtseer. 1t was 10 3.
Gated near the Potomac. quarter of a
mile back of the White House. Burns
was 4 thrifty and oodurate ScotchmanI
and he was one of the original owners
of the site of Washington. a majority of
all the department buildings are now on
his old farm. Where the White House
now stands was his upper barn
The enriched farmer was never on
good terms with George Washington. 1t
is recorded that the latter spoke of Burns
as ''testy and obstinate old man"
And it is known that Davy, meeting Gen
eral Washington one day, and having
some words with him. broke out with
Master Washington, 1 con sac that
ye'd never ha' bin naebody eff ye hadn't "a
welded wi the rich Wilder Custis.''
Congressman Van Ness married Marcia,
Burns pretty daughter, and built the fine
and spacious mansion that still looms
imposingly near the place where the old
cabin used to stand.
Interest is taken in the house alse,
because of the report and belief that 1t
was the headquarters of Wilkes Booth
and his gang of conspirators, and that il
was their first intention to kidnap
President Lincoln, convey him to its
secluded cellar, and hold him as
prisoner through whom to dictate terms.
Some testimony tending to show this
was introduced at the trial of the con-
spirators- in 1865. but the allegation was
never conclusively proved.
