George Washington Had, as Was
Appropriate, the Finest House
in the National Capital.
COST MUST HAVE BEEN GREAT
From Records 1t Seems That the First
President Either Built or Had In
Contemplation Other Habta-
tions-British Respected
the Mansion.

Records show that George Washing
ton had in mind the building Of an
other house, or other houses than his
home on Capitol Hill There is no
available record to show how much
money Washington expended upon his
city mansion The cost must have
been considerable in those days Of
slow travel, when bricks we're brought
across the ocean in sailing vessels,
and when experienced bricklayers
were few and able to command very
high wages.
Although only three stories in
height, it was a very large and roomy
house. Moreover, 1t was intended to
be the best house In the Federal city,
for Washington undoubtedly realized
the fact that he was the foremost
citizen of the new republic and one
of the foremost men in the whole
world
Although now level with the street,
1t is known that the mansion original
ly stood upon terrace, assembled by
stone steps, The grounds were sur
rounded by a hedge fence, similar to
the hedge which surrounds Mount
Vernon estate The mansion faces
east and is parallel with the capitol
building It's front view was over a
large level plateau which was bound
ed by the horizon-tipped hills of Mary
land; a plateau upon which Washing
ton expected the Federal city to be
built. Washington, Jefferson, Carroll
and others purchased substantially all
of the best land on the plateau. But
their heirs held the land at such spec
ulative prices that homemakers
sought the vicinity of the White
House instead of the capitol, and the
Federal city was builded on the west
and northwest part of the city en-
vironments.
Admiral Wilkes purchased the man
sion from the heirs Of Washington,
and used it as his residence during his
lifetime. His heirs sold it to John
Tally, an Irish-American tavern-keep-
er. Tally rented it to numerous prom
inent society folks, always receiving
high rental for it from them. About
forty years ago Tally sold 1t to aSman
named Hillman, who used it for ho-
tel, and it was locally known as THE
Hillman House." That owner died,
and the residence was sold and re-
sold number of times, being used
the greater part of the time as a
boarding house.
When the British soldiers captured
the Federal city, in 1914, and ravaged
it savagely, they so respected the
Washington mansion that they did not
injure it, nor even invade 1t.

Americans True to Their IDEAL.

For more than century the Ameri-
can people, who are credited by the
world as being a money making and
loving people, making wealth the es-
sential of rank, and being deplorably
destitute of sentiment, have presented
to the world an object lesson of fdel-
ity to lofty ideal in the respect paid
to the memory Of George Washing
ton. And there is none to assert that
this enthusiasm is due to a romantic
exaggeration Of his countrymen and
countrywomen. The searchlight has
been turned on his every deed, and
summing 1t all up the verdict has
been that he was faithful, wise, pure,
unsullied by ambition and unspoiled
by adulation.

Honor at Once Conferred by
Washington's Countrymen VIII
Be Confirmed by History.
HIS HIGH RANK AS STATESMAN
Far-seeIng Mind Perceived the Flu
ture Needs Of the Country He Had
Done so Much TO Create
Loved and Trusted as
He Deserved.

Once more, what La 1t to be an
American? Putting aside all the out
er shows of dress and manners, so
cial customs and physical peculiari-
ties, is it not to believe In America
and in the American people? Is 1t
not to have an abiding and moving
faith In the future and In the destiny
of America? Something above and
beyond the patriotism and love which
every man whose soul Is not dead
within him feels for the land of his
birth. Is 1t not to be national and not
sectional; Independent and not colo
NAL? Is It not to have a higher con-
ception of what this great new coun-
try should be, and to follow out that
ideal with loyalty and truth? Has
any man in our history fulfilled these
conditions more perfectly and COM
pletely than George Washington? Has
any man ever lived who served the
American people more faithfully, or
with higher and truer conception of
the destiny and possibilities OF the
country?
He was the first to rise above all
colonial or state lines and grasp
firmly the conception of a nation to
be formed from the thirteen Earring
colonies. The necessity of national
action in the army was at once ap-
parent to him, although not to 9TH
ers; but he carried the same broad
views into widely distant fields, where
at the time they wholly escaped no
ice It was Washington, oppressed
oy a thousand cares, who, in the
early days of the Revolution, saw the
need of federal courts for admiralty
Eases, and for other purposes. Tt was
ae who suggested this scheme, years
aefore anyone even dreamed of the
Constitution; and from the special
committees of congress, formed for
this object in accordance with this
advice, came, in the process of time,
the federal judiciary of the United
States Even In the early dawn of
the Revolution, Washington had clear
IN his own mind the need of CONT
mental system for war, diplomacy,
finance and law, and he worked stead
lily to bring this policy to fulillment.
There must have been something
very impressive about a man, who,
with no pretensions to the art of the
orator and with no touch of the char
latan, could so move and affect vast
bodies OF men by his presence alone.
But the people, with the keen eye OF
affection, looked beyond the mere
outward nobility of form. They saw
the soldier who had given them vic
tory, the great statesman who had led
them out of confusion and faction to
order and good government Party
newspapers might rave, but the In
stinct of the people was never at
fault. They loved, trusted and we'll.
nigh worshiped Washington living,
and they have honored and reverend
ed him with an unchanging fidelity
since his death.-Henry Cabot Lodge,

washInston,s Records Public.

Few men have left SO complete a.
record of their public lives as Wash
ington. He began early to keep copies
of all his important letters and after
the outbreak of the revolution he was
undoubtedly conscious that the cir
cumstances of his career were such
as to make q. record of them, one
which would be of interest to others
than those of his own generation. This
fact in itself must have acted as a
restraint to the free expression of feel
ings in which lesser men may indulge
themselves.
