. Even after it had been raised
the college appealed to the general
court for an addition to the original
900 pounds. President Wadsworth,
so said the petitioners "can nowh ere

gives it its greatest interest to the

Washington correspondent of the

opinion of the ornithologists of the

favorite song birds make their winter

condition, brought about by the de-
velopment of industries in that sec,

substitution of Italians and southern
Europeans for negroes in the labor
fields in Louisiana, Mississippi and
other gulf states by capitalists has
driven the negro out and in doing so
has let in the enemy of the small

Cambridge, Mass, July 19.-During
the short period between the closing
of Harvard university for the summer
and the opening of the summer school
that transforms the neignborhood Of
Harvard square from a city of under
graduates TO one of teachers and other
adult students, gathered from all parts
CT the country, not one of the older
buildings seems to settle down more
contentedly into its vacation quiet
than the old wooden house that was
erected something over It's years ago
as home for the college president.
The old house has a special right to
its reminiscent mood just at this sea-
son, for it was in July, 1775, that the
presence of George Washington made
it the temporary headquarters of the
newborn American army. 1t was
here indeed that the American revolu-
ton received its first impress as an
organized military resistance.
Wadsworth house, as the first head
quarters of the American army is now
called in honor of the first Harvard
president who occupied it, was known
originally simply as the presidents
house. 1t was built in 1926, less than
a year after the general court of
Massachusetts had voted to allow the
corporation of the college, just
struggling out of the difficulties of its
first century the sum OF $1,000 TO be
used in building a handsome wooden
dwelling house, barn, and out-build-
ings for the reception and accommo-
dation of the reverend the president

of Phillips Brooks as well as that OF
General Washington.
At the beginning of the revolution
the presidents house, as it was called,
was the first place chosen by the
provincial congress, then sitting at
Watertown, Mass, as General Wash
ington's headquarters. Later the
headquarters of the army were re-
moved to the old Vassall mansion,
now best known as the Longfellow
house and not only larger but further
removed from the guns of the enemy
During the period of Washington's
occupancy, as the story was afterward
told by a member of the American
medical staff, the house narrowly
escaped destruction by bomb that
was thrown from the British intrench-
ments on Cops hill and fell, with the
fuse still burning, into what is now
Harvard square and very near the
generals quarters. A soldier stamped
on the burning fuse and put it out at
the risk of his own life. Who the
soldier was has never come down in
history but the story was told years
afterward to President Quincy of Har-
ward by one of the men whose spurs
had many times clinked over the
threshold of the presidents home
during that stirring two or three
eeks of its history.
Washington's removal to the
Vassall mansion took place about the
middle of July. The actual part OF

whom Gladstone often consulted and

which will be buried with him.
The congregation yesterday heard
secret reports, received from nuncics
at Vienna, Paris, Munich, Madrid and
approved the charity bequeathed by
Leo to the poor.

confirmation of the story that Cardinai

while in Paris that they left together

Again yesterday the body of Leo

This is probably slight increase over
the number who viewed the remains

doubtless due to the widely circulated
