TO BUY KEY MANSION
HOME OF COMPOSER OF "THE
STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
Formation Of Memorial Association
Heirlooms in Possession of Family
How Song Was Written.

A movement having in view the purchase
of the old Key mansion In Georgetown by
a memorial association has been inaugu-
rated in this city. The idea was suggested
by the fact that the legislature of Massa-
chusetts appropriated a sum sufficient to
preserve the home Of DR.. Samuel Smith.
the author of America" The owners Of
the old mansion where the author of 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner resided for many
years. it is stated, had completed plans for
the demolishing of the building and the
subsequent erection Of a number OF small
stores on the site. Some Of those interested
in the movement conferred with the own
ers, and 1t was agreed to suspend the build
ing operations for six months.
It is said that originally the lawn In rear
of the Key mansion extended to the river,
having several terraces. Several streets
have been cut through. however, but the
old terraces, before reaching Water street,
are said to be in good condition.
Mr.. r. s. Key Smith Of the local bar,
grandson Of Francis s. Key, jr.. eldest son
of Francis s. Key, states that many heir
looms In the possession of his family win
be loaned to the memorial association,
should the latter take charge of the house
and preserve 1t. Many Of the chairs and
law books that were in the house in the
days of the first owner have been preserved
and will be added to the collection.
As to National Air.
Several years ago the United States was

asked by several foreign governments for
copies of its national air. The matter it
is stated, was referred to John Philip
Sousa. who said that America could not
be considered, for the air was that of God
Save the Queen" and that he believed
Hail Columbia" should be designated.
President Roosevelt it is added declared
in favor Of 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
and thereupon the composition by Fran
els Scott Key received recognition. Mr.
F. s. Key-Smith says the story of
the writing of the song has been handed
down from generation to generation in his
family Francis S. Key, who was residing
here during the war of 1912. he stated, had
bosom friend in the person of DR.. Beanes,
who resided at Upper Marlboro, Md. When
Admiral Cockburn came to Washington in
command of the British warships he decd-
ed that the physician should be taken pris-
oner. The capture was effected and DR..
Beanes taken aboard the flagship and
accompanied the fleet on the trip to Balti-
more. Mr.. Key, some days later, while
journeying to Marlboro. learned that his
friend had been taken prisoner. He quickly
procured papers showing that DR.. Beanes
had not been connected with the charges
promulgated by the British admiral He
then hurried to Baltimore and found the
fleet of Admiral Cockburn already In the
outer harbor. Under flag of truce Mr.. Key
interviewed the admiral and was informed
that few moments thereafter Fort Nc
Henry would be bombarded. The admiral
told Mr.. Key that after the bombardment
he would consider the matter of DR.. Beanes.
He also informed Mr.. Key that the latter
would have to remain on one Of the Golfers
of the fleet until after the bombardment.
By the Dawn's Early Light.
Mr.. Key was conveyed outside of the
range of fire. Early in the afternoon while
the guns of the British feet were heaping
shot and shell upon Fort McHenry, Mr..
Key. from his position. could see the reply
from the American fertilization. There.
waited by the breeze. was the stars and
stripes. Throughout the early evening the
bombardment continued, and then suddenly
ceased. Mr.. Key did not retire that night,

top of the Fort McHenry staff Mr. Key
knew the attack had failed.
With that inspiration he wrote:
.Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilghts last
cleaning"
Mr.. Key and DR.. Beanes were later re-
leased, and returned to their homes.
In Memory Of Composer Key.
The following poem was dedicated several
years ago to the. memory of Francis Scott
Key by Mr.. F. 8. Key-Smith, and read at q
patriotic gathering.
At rest beneath the azure sky
There lies q loyal son;
He gone to meet his God high,
His duty here is done.
No truer heart has lain at rest
Or was there eer one born
Upon sacred soil most blest
Than he who now has gone
Those stars and stripes his mem'ry bear
As long as they remain
And through all ages Will declare
His loved and honored name.
The massive walls of that old fort.
Grand monument Of fame
Remind us Of the battle fought
And our patriots name.
Upon the ramparts far.
Until the darkness closed from sight
Each floating stripe and star.
And when at morn they kissed the light,
His heart was filled with wild delight
He felt that God was nigh.
Then, the day broke bright and clear,
The battles tempest ceased:
No longer was there cause to fear
Victory all released.
He'd seen the struggle through the night,
Had heard the lannon's roar:
Our hag which darkness hid from sight,
Now waved Ger peaceful shore.

the membranes of the nose, mouth ears
and eyes and become an irritant which
largely induces catarrhal trouble, which is
so prevalent in the cities where the streets
are not thoroughly cleaned"
AS an adjunct to the street cleaning pro-
cess, Mr.. Twohey believes in laws which
will prevent the unnecessary littering of
streets with waste paper and fruit peel
ings, and that city should maintain proper
receptacles at street corners for waste pa
regulation on the subject here.
Amount Of Waste Paper.
"If one were to get a glimpseyo of the
amount of paper thrown on the streets In
one day." Mr.. Twohey explains, che
would be astounded and would wonder
where SO much paper came from"
Seldom do the street cleaners collect less
than 200 big bags Of paper day. The
inspectors Of hand cleaning last April were
instructed to make a daily report Of the
number Of bags Of paper gathered in their
respective sections each day. During the
following seventy-one days a total Of 1O,-
459 bags was removed from the streets The
littering of the streets has attained such
proportions that 1t is estimated by officials
of the street cleaning department that that
part of the work of cleaning the streets
the laborers. which would otherwise be de-
voted to removing dirt from the carriage
ways.
Like many other Of the departments Of
the District government the street cleaning
department is subject to criticism, but un-
justly so to a large extent, the officials in
terested contend.

Superintendent Twohey says the best re-
suits are obtained from combined hand and
machine cleaning, but that hand cleaning
is more thorough, while the machines cover
more ground.
The next most important step to the regu-
larity and frequency of cleaning the streets,
In Mr.. Twohey's opinion as a street-clean-
ing expert, is the removal of organic mat

What is regarded as one of the most
important subjects engaging the attention
of the officials of a large city is the clean

past few years has caused municipal Off
Gals having the matter in charge here
many wakeful nights.
The local officials say they feel satisfied,
however, that they are giving the citizens
of the national capital the cleanest streets
possible, and point with pride to various
out-of-town publications that have referred
to Washington as the cleanest city in the
United States. Commissioner West said
yesterday that there can be little doubt
that Washington is the cleanest city in

AS summer time comes on the thought
of vacation fills every mind. We are apt,
in our seeking after leisure, to forget that
there are orphans to be thought of and
cared for. Ask the superintenderts of
our orphans homes and without excep-
tion they will tell you that the hardest
time in the whole year is "the good old
summer time" Provisions get scarce
and money great deal scarcer still. 1t
is splendid time to remember the or

age could test several hundred bushels of
wheat, for the neighboring mill makes
the gift of wheat as acceptable as flour.
And, as for money, only IS will care for

are two hundred little children to be
cared for here. Provisions can be sent
