the two decades preceding the civil war
although Gwynn, when he returned to
washington from California some years
after the Confederacy had failed, lived
in it.
The dwelling at PIG Third street north
west which is regarded as one of the
Dest examples of colonial architecture in
the city, was erected eighty years ago,
although it does not look half that age
In the early days many notable states
men were housed in 1t, although the his
tory surrounding 1t is somewhat obscure.
The celebrated Indian boarding. house"
conducted by Mrs. Beveridge many years
ago, at 224 Third street northwest, is still
standing. Here 1t was that such notables
as Red Cloud, White Feather, Crazy
Horse, and the various chiefs of the
Arapahoes stayed when they came to
Washington; indeed, they had no other
place to stay. Many racy "reminiscences
of these days are told, ranging from the
Creek wars down to the fights on the
plains, where the Indians made their last
stand. The arrival of a mighty Indian
chief in the Capital always made Mrs.
Beveridges boarding house a center OF
attraction for Washingtonians. Indeed.
many great social festivities were held
in honor of the visitors.
The .'SIave Mart"
Directly TO the north of Mrs. Bever-
idge's boarding house is an ancient CO.
lonial dwelling, about which there clus-
ters popular tradition. In its rear there
is said to have been a secret slave mart
for many years before the civil war. 1t
was a large barn. which only recently
was demolished. In it many slave owners
kept their slaves while travelling through
the city, and, 1t is said. frequently sold
them, and purchased others, during their
stay here.
Perhaps the center of all the old C
street taverns and boarding houses is
"Crosby's." directly opposite the Gwynn
mansion. 1t was erected by Marshal Sell
den. of Virginia. about seventy-f1ve years
ago. AS the United States marshal then
occupied the same position at the White
House that the Commissioner of Pubic
Buildings and Grounds does now, the Sci
den home was rendezvous for fashion
able life in the Capital for years. and II
was not until civil war days that II lost
the trappings Of a mansion and flung
open its doors as a clearinghouse. Like
all the other structures surrounding II,
1t is rich with "reminiscences and anec-
dotes of the notables of a half century
ago.

Life has quickened its gait for every one

An Up-tO-date Press.
The undermining process is nowhere so
evident as in the Paris press. What has
become of the political journalist. the old
war horse of the type whereof Henri
ROchefort is one Of the few survivals?-
the writer who daily filed a column or
so in his newspaper with brilliant COM
ment and polemics on domestic affairs,
entirely impervious to the doings and prog
reSs of other nations save in so far as
they affected France. The pamphleteer
is swamped in the advancing tide of
progress.
Ten years ago newly established
newspaper forged its way to the very
front rank of the Paris press because il
organized a service to follow foreign
events from day to day-a complete
foreign news service in effect. To-day
that same journal has fallen to second
rank. for there are a host of other news
papers in the field with special wires to
the great European capitals. private ar
rangemehts for exchanging news with the
principal foreign newspapers, and elab-

was only ten years ago that the first
special wire between French newspaper
and it's London Office was started, yet

written anything that has been copied

Stanton drops into the effectively Sc

Sir John Falstaff: it was with more than
the hurried newspaper touch that he
penned the last stanza:
So / forgive him for his raid
