LANDMARK OF WASHINGTON.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The old home
Of Jefferson Davis while he was Sec
ratary Of war was relinquished today
by the militia division of the war de-
Dartment, which had occupied the his
tor.cal structure since the division
was created several years ago. The
Davis home is one of the landmarks
of Washington, standing on the corner
Of 18th and G streets.
The new home of the militia divis-
ion, located at the intersection of
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th streets,
diagonally across from the war de-
partment proper, is also a notable old
building. When the citizens of the
District of Columbia exercised the
franchise and were ruled by a COVER
ncr, this structure was the municipal
palace, containing all the executive Of
fees of the local government. 1t is
a little yellow brick structure, and to-
day makes sorry comparison with
the magnificent marble edifce contain
ing the Offices of the district commis-
sioners.
