Washington Letter
NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL
Especial Correspondence

lA5RS~AeA~
No other street is so closely associat-
ed with the history of any government
as is Pennsylvania avenue with that of
the United States. Washington trav-
ersed it when it was but woodland
path; John Adams made his way in
state through its swamps and bog
holes; Jefferson set out trees along its
line when the city site had been strip
ped Of forests. and every other presi-
dent, with his varying escort, has pass
ed along 1t to assume his Office.
1t has seen more such pageantry than
any other street in the world, Twenty
six inaugurals have taken place here.
Past it's few and scattered houses in
1914 fed the routed forces from Bla-
densburg, with the exultant redcoats
in close pursuit, and with the capitol
building bursting into flames at one
end Of it and the White House soon to
follow at the other
Down its somber length, covered like
pail with emblems of grief, passed
the funeral cortege of Abraham Lin
coin, no head covered and no heart UNI
moved of all the vast multitude.
Along its dusty highway tramped,
with the swinging step that had carried
them from Atlanta to the sea, Sher-
mans gallant, indomitable men of the
west, looking bronzed and hardy as
Indians, and all elate with victory.
Up through It's thronging thousands,
too, came the grand old Army of the
Potomac, war worn veterans who for
years had been the bulwark of the cap
ital, but all with elastic tread and sol
dierly bearing, as they were greeted
with welcoming shouts, their tattered
flags fiutterlng in the summer air.
Never has such an army, having fought
voluntarily and consciously for great
and noble cause, made SO joyous holt
day for any capital as when it trod in
triumphant home coming along Penn
| sylvania avenue.
why Called .swhite House."
| Although he never resided under its
roof, the White House owes its name
to Washington himself, who called 1t
so in memory of the white House
from which he won and welded his
bride in 1853. The presidential man
sion was designed and projected In the
wilderness, when the future was an al
together unknown quantity. Its archi-
teet was young Irishman, James Ho-
ban by name, who followed to some ex-
tent the plan of a country seat Of the
Duke Of Leinster in Ireland.
