 Several distant subscribers of The Press, including MT. Merrick, have written asking us to more definitely locate in this column the farmstead where Ohauncey F. Reed of New Haven has made a beautiful modern residence of the old dwelling and is improving the large farm. It is the place known in recent years as the George Sparrow farm, opposite the new cemetery extension, and was the home of the first minister in town, the Rev. Daniel Fuller. For many years it was owned and occupied by Timothy Holt and family, and was the early home of Gustavus O. Holt and his sister, Mrs. Adalaide Holt Eldredge. The old people used to say that this tract from Sharp's mills to Roaring Brook, including the Brink farm, was known as Moose Plain, and when the town was settled patches of it were used by the Indians for corn land and the remainder was covered by primeval forest of pine trees. We know from memory that old walls and fences were removed and the land was greatly improved during the own- ership of the Sparrow family. It has now every promise of being one of the most desirable places in town. The beautiful shade trees and the large apple orchard add much to the beauty of the place. s

 Raising One Million

Christian unity plans get immediate at tention in the May meetings nowin prog ress and will get further attention dur
 ing the summer. Presbyteries north. south and united, are discussing organic union, with better prospects toward the
 united than toward the southern. The Cumberland union did not wholly unite, for the remnant of that body remaining is more active than it has been In years.
 Methodist Protestants. who coquetted with the congregationalists for several years, are now discussing plans of union with the Methodists north. The elections held at the May conference are said not to indicate the real feeling in the body. which favors union. Methodists south, whose general conference meets two years hence are negotiating. with those north, and the general conference now about ending it's sessions in Minneapolis, is taking some steps which 1t hopes may bring southern Methodists nearer
 Baptists at Des Moines and at Rich mond, in their respective conventions, will advance unity in some measure. and dis ciples of Christ have an active commit tee that Is sending to all May meeting committees propositions of unity. Three Episcopal bishops sail early in June to attend conference in England between the Church of England and American Episcopal church authorities, looking to leadership by these communions in bring ing about the world conference on faith and order. A reoept utterance of the Rev. Alex. P. Doyle of the Catholic Mis- sionary union. of which Cardinal Farley is president, has been well received and indicates union tendencies among at least a part of the Catholic following. Leaders in the unity movements express gratifl- cation at rapid advances making this May both at official meetings and in the public discussions

Fifteen states. beginning with Minne- sota and extending through to the coast, and including farther south. Utah, Ne sada, Colorado and Nebraska, have now been surveyed by representatives of home mission societies. and ten religious bodies, supporting five in six of alt-home mis- sionaries, have agreed upon co-operatio,i in these states. There is to be an end to competition. At the same time most home mission leaders declare that over looking is quite as deplorable as over tapping. For example, in one of the states surveyed.

Pushing Palestine Ahead

Few spots on the earth are developing in more modern fashion than Is ancient Palestine. Railroads are building between principal cities, and trolley lines will soon connect all of the smaller places of note English capital. keen to transport sight seers of the whole Christian world, and prepared later to advertise and increase the number of such tourists, is supple menting that of the Jews.
 The Jewish development claims to have brought charity to an end and to have put in its place business methods. Im- proyement is making in farms, in com mon shops in the scale of wages of la borers, and even in the founding of a health bureau and an agriculture ex- pertinent station. Last of all there is forming publicity department, similar to that maintained by California fruit growers
 New efforts are making at this time to induce Jews of America, and especially of some crowded cities, to emigrate to Palestine and there help to create q political state. Not much headway is making from here, but from Russia and Germany many Jews are going. The Turkish constitution has removed some old restrictions, and the new blood fur nished by the Zionist recruits has so de- veloped possibilities that hardly foot in modern Palestine can be said to be barren.

THE GRANDEUR OF THE
 CITY OF WASHINGTON
By c. M. STANLEY

Washington, May 25.-(Special.)-T man who has never been in Washington can scarcely realize the number of inter- esting places and things that can be seen in two or three days.
 The city is so well laid off that it is as easy to find your way about as it would be in Brmingham. The car service is we'll nigh perfect. Hotel facilities are entirely adequate for the tens of thous- ands of people that are constantly com ing and going. People are here from all over the world and you are constantly running upon someone you know.
 At the Raleigh hotel yesterday up walked T. H. Friel of Birmingham, the man who knows so much about Ala bamas water power possibilities, and who Is working all the time-on plans to get them developed. He says Birmingham will have water power electricity within another year.
 Wilson Brown. than whom no one else is better known in Birmingham. dropped in today on his way to see his brother, William Carrot Brown. who has been so i'll in North Carolina.
 Governor and Mrs. ONeal were at the New Willard this week, and In fact some one from Alabama is constantly turning up.
 A stroll ou. Connecticut avenue is a revelation to tine man who is not "city broke" This is said to be the great fashionable thoroughfare, and there are sights which you have always thought existed only in the minds of the writers on sensational newspapers.
 Buxom danes. bedizened like the rain bow, reclining in great victorias. drawn by blooded. boh-tailed horses whose har- ness may be read, white or blue-nothing less onspcuous-attended by footmen with brooches so tight that 1t seems like cruelty to animals-all these are seen in the late afternoon Hitting around Du- pont circle. the heart of this benton dis trict. Perhaps the Russian ambassador or other foreign nabob will pass. There are no colors even in the rainbow to match the gorgeous array of these men and their attendants.
 And the apartment houses. Terrace Court seems like a pretty good sized affair to us in Birmingham, but it would be lost on Connecticut avenue. These
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-26

apartments look more like enormous ho- tels than anything else and there seem to be miles Of them. Furthermore they all seem to be tenanted.
 For natural beauty Connecticut avenue is not in the same class with Highland avenue, in Birmingham, but the large buildings and it's enormous length make it seem much more pretentious than the Birmingham avenue.
 The zoo is out this avenue, about four miles and by the way, it is a genuine paradise. People in Birmingham who used to kick because 1t was proposed to put a zoo in the park near their home ought to see this magnificent place. Sure- ly they would have no further cause to say that a zoo detracts from park prop erty.
 Washington seems to be growing and developing at even as rapid a pace as Birmingham. New buildings are going up in every direction. and even though there is no industrial factor to aid in making the city appear busy, 1t never theless does appear very energetic and progressive.
 The public buildings and grounds are wonderful in their impressiveness. It IS said that people living here get used to them and pay no attention to them, but to the new conner they are a never end- ing source of admiration.
 It makes any good American more pa- triotic to come to Washington. He is prouder than ever of his country when he sees the visible manifestations of it's greatness and power in this--the heart of the nation.
