The Ordway new era., 1914-02-13

Alexandria played no small part In
the formative years OF Washingtons
youth and early manhood. A repre-
sentative Virginia town. 1t stood then
and for generations later for all that
was best of colonial standards. Its peo-
pie had much to do with the molding
of Washington's character. and Wash
ington richly repaid Alexandria, or
Belle Haven as It was first called. by
his never falling concern for its well
fare and advancement.
Probably no surviving structure In
Alexandria harbored Washington with
in its hospitable walls more freq emily
than the old Carlyle house, and GER
tainly none was more directly associ-
ated with the foundation Of the mill
tary side of his life. Strange az II
may seem, for many years this his
torical landmark has been hidden away
behind the battered front OF Alexan-
dria's once noted hotel. the Braddock
house. occupying one corner OF the In
ner courtyard. shut away from the pub
lie gaze and denied the outlook OF the
broad approach which It once enjoyed
in the days of it's well nigh baronial
Importance. Until a few years ago
the Carlyle house was largely used as
a storage place by a local dealer in
colonial antiques. but few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further indignity. though not en-
tirely from danger. as the old furni.
ture found new abiding place within
tn" still more inflammable Braddock
house, adjoining.
In 1882 John S. Carlyle imported
from the Isle OF Wight the stone of
which the house is built. and he alb
sorbed for part of the foundation a
portion of an. old fort which had been
built many years before for the protec-
ton of the English traders at Hunting
Creek, as the place was then known,
against the Indians. The barracks Of
that ancient defense became the cellar
of the Carlyle house. and In those
cool. dark. dry retreats were stored in
Wa5hington's day the bulging casks.
cob-webbed bottles. and delicious old
hams for which Virginia has long been
noted.
Another part OF the old fort forms
the plaza at the rear OF the house upon
which the broad central hallway
opens. It was upon this plaza. in the
far away days. that the Carlyles and
their guests gathered on summer eve
nngs to discuss the questions of the
time or to pass the hours chatting
over a heartsome glass amid the
soothing smoke OF the fragrant Orono.

GHOST OF OLD LOG
 CHURCH REMAINS BEHIND

The old log church that so long add ed interest to the corner of Third and Main streets. recently torn down, re- fuses surrender on it's claims to the attention of the people of Juneau cas- fly. Its ghost remains behind probably to protest against it's demolition. At least, that is the impression a first glyance at the outline of the old log church on the brewery building ere ates in the minds of those who have walked up Main street.
 The frame brewery building was CT ected several years ago just above and in contact with the log church. When the latter was torn down. there was left an almost perfect picture of the log house. created by the weather stains, on the newer frome building. So striking Is the picture that John T. Spickett, manager of the Orpheum theatre, had it photographed today.

ACTING GOVERNOR
 WANTS TO HELP

Acting Gov. Charles E. Davidson yes terday sent a cablegram message to Gov. J. F. A. Strong now in Washing ton. D. C.. suggesting that Gov. Strong offer the support of Alaska to the Fed eral govednment in event of war with Mexico. The Acting Governor says that he is being besieged with appli' cations to join an Alaska regiment of soldiery. Some of his own office force are insistent in the demandt to enlist and cablegram applications to enlist were also received yesterday from Fairbanks.
 The war spirit is aroused in Juneau and a muster roll of Alaska volunteers to engage in war with Mexico has been opened. James F. Meeker, who heads the roll, is the moving spirit in the matter and the names are rapidly ac' cumulating. The roll is kept at the Heidelberg Billiard parlors of Bur ford and Baldwin on Front street. A large and attractive placard placed in the show window calls attention to the object of the call,
 General Supt R. A. Kinzie, of Tread. well, said yesterday that in event a call was issued for Alaska volunteers that Treadwell and Douglas would con- tribute a large number of men.
 District Attorney J. J. Crossley, who arrived from Fairbanks on the North western this morning has been caught in the war fever and is anxious to en- list in an Alaska regiment. If Alaska is not permitted to send volunteers Mir. Crossley says he will probably serve with the 51st Iowa, his old regiment. In order to enlist he will ask for a g. months leave of absence from his off cial duties. It is Mir. Crossley's opin- ion that Fairbanks will contribute not less than 200 men if an Alaskan regi- ment is raised.
