PROPOSED TABLET.

The following we're the papers sub
mitted TO be City Council last Tuesday
night in reference to the proposed tablet
10 mark the spot where the Alexandra
Jail stood in colonial days:
Alexandria, Va.
April 6, 1908.
To the President and Board of Aldermen
and the Common Council Of Alsxsn-
dria, Va.
Gentlemen: At q recent called meet
ing of the First Baptist Church, OF this
civ, the pastor Was unanimously re-
auested TO ask your honorable body to
grant the church the privilege OF placing
a tablet on the front Of the station house,
as it Is built upon the spot where the old
iail once stood, in which Rev. Jeremiah
Moore, who organized the First Baptist
Church, and who WIS its frst pss.or,
was three times imprisoned for preach
ing the gospel. 1t is a matter OF TACT
and Of history, and the church simply
wishes to suitably mark the place as a
memorial to that distinguished man.
The accompanying letter from Hon:
Walton Moore. his great-grandson, will
throw some light upon 1t.
Very respectfully and sincerely,

Pastor Of the First Baptist Church.

Rev. DR.. W. +. Fisher.
Nv dear sir: ! have read with great
interest your letter of the 2ad inst. which
reached me in Flirfax. Rev. Mr. Moor
was nv grandfather, and ! haV
traced bis ancestry and career as tar as,
| suppose, is possible. He is frequent
lv mentioned in the Fairfax records, but
i have seen no entry referring to his i'm
prisonmeut. My father, who Is now
dead, told me that he saw in the Fair
fax clerks Office, prior to the war,
warrant charging Mr.. Moore with
preaching the gospel without license, and
bearing an endorsement showing that he
was sentenced to be confined In jail, and
another endorsement showing that the
sentence wss RENTED. Che warrant in
question has disappeared. 1t was prob
aoly destroyed, along with other papers,
during tie war. / think my grand
father mus. have been a man of remark
able intellectual aud moral qualities aud
of intense zeal and industry as minister.
Such men as Mr.. VIM. Writ, who was sI'
torDey general of the United States and a
brilliant orator (see letter 10 Kennedy's
Life Of WlrD regarded him as a speaker
of extraordinary power and influence.
Scch men as Mr.. Jefferson cOrresponded
with him on political end religions
subjects. For years there was 10 my
possession a volume Of letters written BY
Mr.. Moore to lady 10 Alexandria on

fortunately lost It. There is still IN my

prediction that une,s that institution
should be abolished, the future gould

I am proud to be the descendant of

PICK OUT ITS LANDS.
Kansas Has Seven Thousand Acres
Due From the Government.

There are thousands of acres of gov
eminent lands still in Kansas and the
regents of the State Agricultural col
lege are preparing to select 1852 of the
best Of this land to make up the orig
inal grant of the government to the
Kansas Agricultural college. The gov
eminent granted tire state thirty thou
sand acres of land to help maintain the
school.
A stipulation in the act provided that
If Kansas selected lands which were in
whole or in part within any grant to
railroad company the state should re-
ceive only one-half of its original grant.
After the state selected its lands a
railroad grant was made and part of
the states lands were included in this
railroad grant. For this reason the
state had to divide with the railroad
and the grant of thirty thousand acres
was reduced by 1852 acres which went
to the railroad.
But the promoters of the railroad
who obtained the land grant never
built the line and the land reverted to
the railroad company. But nothing
was done to turn this land over to the
Agricultural college until last winter
when the matter was taken up and
after much red tape was unwound con-
gress passed a bill regranting this 1852
acres of land to Kansas. The bill
specifies that the regents of the Agri-
cultural college are to select this land
from any not now taken up within the
state
