gage happened to be placed on the old
home Of the great leader.
BY act of congress a board Of trus-
tees was created to have charge of the
home, but it came to these congress
sionally provided administrators with
a mortgage and without funds to even
keep up repairs, the result being that
the once handsome home, the once fine
old estate, Is rapidly passing to decay
and the mortgage is pressing for pay
ment.
Several attempts have been made to
arouse sufficient interest on the part Of
the race to pay off this mortgage and
put the home in proper repair in order
first to save the home to the race and
to preserve the historical relics, etc., 1t
contains, but not sufficient has been
contributed to even keep up the inter
est on the debt.
It Is figured that If $4,000 is raised
by the race it will be sufficient to pay
ing and estate to its former beauty
and make Of the home a historical
and memorial site to be visited by
thousands each year, just as the old
home of George Washington at Mount
Vernon is maintained as a historical
retreat.
There are fifteen acres in the Doug
lass estate. and 1t occupies the most
beautiful point in all Washington, over
looking the Potomac, as 1t does, and
being within ten minutes ride Of the
White House or the halls Of congress.
But unless the race responds to the
last appeal, and responds quickly, the
old home may be lost.

quently has no earning power. When
1t ceases to be that-in case the mort.
gage should be foreclosed-the old
Douglass homestead will pass from the
race. As the legal owners Of this
estate 1t is the duty Of the race-every
man, woman, child; church or organiza-
tion, fraternal or otherwise-to respond
with contributions to pay Off this debt,
and this response should come quickly

atty to Assert Itself.
Washington.-Thereh have been q num-
Der of inquiries, says Ralph w. Tyler
Of this city, as to the existing mort
gage on the old home here Of the late
Frederick Douglass. Many cannot un-
derstand why the home should rest un-
der a mortgage when Mr.. Douglass
was supposed to have been quite well
of at his death. The estate of Mr..
Douglass did mount up to quite a
sum at his death. A defective will,
made defective by an insufficient num-
Der Of witnesses, caused the property
to be distributed according to law rath-
Or than according to the will Of the
testator.
The widow Of Mr.. Douglass desired
that the old house, containing a mu-
scum Of anh-slavery and Douglass
relics, the furniture, books, manu-
scripts and curios Of the great orator,
publicist and anti-slavery leader, should
be bequeathed to the race az a me-
mortal to her husband. 10 do this 1t
was necessary for her to buy in the
home from the other heirs that she
might have a clear title to It. This
she did, giving $4,000 for the old
homestead on Cedar hill.
In order to make the purchase, how
ever, it was necessary for her to bor'
row money with which to purchase the
equity OF the other heirs. She died
before she could pay of that mort
gage. In her last will and testament
she bequeathed the home, with all its
rich and priceless possessions, to the
race Mr.. Douglass had fearlessly
championed and served. She might
have bequeathed it to her own rela-
lives, but she choose to will 1t to the

George Westinghouse.

The announcement in yesterdays Her
aid of the death of George Westing-
house caused a deep and genuine feeling
of regret to Washingtonians, for the
great inventor had been a national figure
for nearly half century. As the in
ventor of the air brake, his genius has
probably saved more lives than can be
credited to any other man. Not only that,
but it made possible the tremendously
large trains of today with their high
speed. His memory will always be
honored for that marvellous child of his
genius
His work in introducing and devel-
oping the alternating current system for
electric light and power also added
greatly to industrial progress, for it
made possible the shipping or carrying
of electricity great distances with little
loss of power. He died comparatively
poor, although some $1,000 persons were
employed by his company, and he had
labored as hard as any of his men.
Mr.. Westinghouse was eminent as an
engineer, as an inventor, as a manufac-
turer, and his genius took him to heights
undreamed OF in his earlier days. His
work will live forever.
