part of the Tenleys' property, which,
contrary to general belief, was not ex-
tensive.
The house of these sisters is next
to the site of the house in which the
Tenleys lived and these early resi-
dents rest in graves in the garden at
the rear of the house. The Rambler
mas preserved among his notes the
following little talk which Mrs. Britt
gave him about the Tenleys:
There were three Tenleys," she said,
''two sisters, Sarah and Eliza beth, and
their brother, John Tenley. They
bought half an acre of land here at
the junction of the Rockville road, then
called the Frederick pike, and the
River road, which was one of the
early important ways leading to the
west when the Blue Ridge country was
the far west and the Alleghanies were
the farthest west. The property they
bought was on the east side of the
Rockville pike and this house is built
on part of their half acre. The Tenleys
were poor people. They came to this
part of the country from Charles coun-
ty, Maryland. but from what part of
the county they came l do not know.
There We're no other houses near here
when the Tenleys built their small
frame house. At last a few other fam
lies moved here, "a store and a black
smith shop were opened and the ham,
let came to be called Tenleytown.
the Tenleys lived here. 1t must be
eighty years since the last of them
died here. Their graves are out in the
garden, and the spot is marked by
those trees you see growing there
but the grayeStuneS have sunk and
have been covered by dust and dirt
until they have been put out of sight
] don't believe they have been visible
since the civil war, but little dig
giving would bring them to light, and 1
have no doubt but that the inscriptions
Evening star., 1915-01-03

would tell those facts about the Ten
leys which everybody seems to have
forgotten-where and when they were
born and when they died"
This section seems to have presented
some attraction to people from the
southern part of Maryland, for the
land on which Fort Reno was built
belonged to Giles Dyer, who with his
brother, Miles Dyer. came here from
either Charles or St. Marys county.
The house in which Giles Dyer lived
stood about where the reservoir is and
it was torn down by troops when they
built the fort. After the war Giles
Dyer sold the land to two real estate
men whose names were Onion and
Butts, and they subdivided it, and
over much of the site of Fort Reno
started the settlement long known as
Fort Reno and later simply as Reno.
Before the Dyers bought this land 1t
was the property of Isaac Marshall and
the proprietor before him was DIR.
Weems, whether a physician of the
soul or body the Rambler does not
know. The Weems family burial plot
was on the hill close to the Fort Reno
pumping station and was in the garden
of Giles Dyer. The tombstones were
standing in the spring of 1861, but

and the collection netted $4,000. The
next day the city council appropriated
$25,000 for her work. At Hamilton
$4,000 was contributed and an import

carry on her relief effort.

In Chicago $4,000 was raised, though
she spoke only twice.
At St. Paul and Minneapolis mora
than SIS, 600 was donated at her meet
ings. She spoke there but once pub
licly. James J. Hill made generous
contribution.
At Pittsburgh s14,500 was collected
at a big meeting in Memorial Hall
and at Sewickley, suburb, where she
spoke the next evening. $500 was
added.
In Philadelphia the donations amount
ed to s12,500. Nine. Vandervelde while
there assisted in the launching OF q
shipload of food and personally super
of condensed milk for the children.
She spoke three times in Greater Bos-
ton, once in the Milton town hail.
where she was introduced by Bishop
Lawrence: again in Brookline. as the
guest of Mrs. Edward Brandegee, and
December l at a monster meeting In
fremont Temple. where more than
1000 persons had to be turned away
for lack of room. She was introduced
by Mrs. Maud Howe Elliot, daughter
of Julia Ward Howe. More than $4,000
was contributed as result of this
meeting.
These are but a few of the principal
places in which Nine. Vandervelde has
made her plea for the women and
children of the stricken nation. She
has dates for whole month ahead to
continue her campaign for help for
those who cannot help themselves, In
nocent victims of the cruelest war In
suited in contributions totaling well
over a quarter of a million of dollars.
She is the wife of the Belgian min
fstre d'etat z. Emile Vandervelde, who
was recently in America as a member
of the commission which visited Prests
dent Wilson protesting against de>
struction OF their temples and art
ternational war code. She was in
Brussels when the .0ltimatum was sent
by Germany to Belgium. She went to
Antwerp with her husband when the
government moved there.
She was in Antwerp when the first
Zeppelin came and saw the destruction
which 1t showered upon the city. A
few days before she left Belgium King
Albert sent for her to wish her good
luck and to tell her OF his approval
of her intention to appeal to the psople
of America to feed the starving.

dence, the Rambler resumed the read

Rambler's memory is correct, Aunt
Rachel said he dropped dead"
Aunt Rachel. an old servant Of Com.
modore Jones. and who still lives at
Sharon told the Rambler that .
daughter Of Commodore Jones of Sha-
ron is still living and working in Wash
ington, and that her name is Miss Mar
tha Jones and that she is employed In
the Treasury.
In the old navy was another Catesby
Jones tCatesby Ap RI. who became a
midshipman In 1895 and resigned in
1851. the Inference from the date OF
resignation being that he entered the
Confederate states navy. but the RAM

not known what connection, IL any,
there was between this Catesby Jones
and the Commodore Catesby Jones OF

so the Rambler was told at Sharon. whose
daughter became the wife of Commodore
Jones' and who also married the couple,
because the minister who was to per-
form the ceremony was unduly late in
arriving. Close by was the tomb of
Aaron j. Beans. Thai tomb showed its
tenant had been a Confederate soldier.
and that his chief life work had been
the writing of a Ill of Robert f, Lee"
The headstone al the grave of Com
modore Jones told that he was born in
1890 at Hickory Hill, Westmoreland
county. Va.
The Rambler had been at that same
Hickory Hill a few days before. and
mentioned it in connection with
trip to the Carter lands and Ncmony
Hall. But at Hickory Hill he did
not hear that anybody of the name
of Jones had lived there. Then
turning from the tomb of Commodore

Continuing his stroll among the
graves, many of them frightened with
fresh flowers, the Rambler read: A. Il.

There was one little lichen- -eaten bit of
marble on which the only inscription
the Rambler could make out was
"Catharine, 1880"
The view from this old churchyard is
one of calm beauty. 1t is high, gently
hilly country and a man standing in
the churchyard may see objects miles
off in all directions. The buildings of
the American University and other
landmarks in the Tenleytown neighbor-

a slightly misty afternoon, but the
Rambler thought he could make out
the chimneys of Salona and the white
buildings of Sharon from the graves
of their early owners.
The record of Commodore Thomas
Ap. Catesby Jones is open to any one
who wishes to consult it. He entered
the navy November %, 1906, and be-
came a lieutenant May "a, 1872. He
was made a commander March rs, 1890,
and captain March II, 1929. From 1903
to 1872 he was engaged in the Gulf of
Mexico, where he met with a measure
of success in suppressing piracy, smug-
CLING and slave trade. When the Brit
ish naval expedition against New Or
leans entered Lake Borgne in 1914 he
endeavored to intercept forty British
boats with his small fiotilla. He was
wounded in the attempt and compelled
to surrender, but his conduct was high
ly praised by the navy. He commanded
the Pacific squadron in 1872 and took
possession OF Monterey on receiving
the erroneous information that war ex-
listed between the United States and
Mexico and for this somewhat antici-
patory enterprise he was temporarily
suspended from the service. His son,
NJ Patterson Jones or Merriw wether
Patterson Jones, became a midshipman
in 1S41, passed midshipman in 1S41,
master and lieutenant in 1855 and lieu
tenant commander in 1852. He died
suddenly at Sharon in 1855. If the

they were destroyed by troops and the
site of the little graveyard was eff
faced.
Fort Pennsylvania, later Fort Reno,
was built at that place because a wide
stretch of country is commanded by
it, the location being a point where the
dividing ridge between the Potomac
and Rock creek narrows so as to ex-
pose the slopes in both directions, and
1t also commanded three much-traveled
roads which united there. 1t was
built in the summer and fall of 1861.
The elaborate system of Washingtons S
defenses had not then been planned,
and, of course, was far from execution,
and the sites of the early forts were
hastily determined on. quickly con-
structed and strengthened and elabo-
rated later. The Federals very early
in the war feared that d Confederate
force would cross the upper Potomac
and attack Washington from the rear,
just as Gen. Early did in the summer
of 1854. The immediate purpose of
the fort builders was to block approach
to Washington over the usual roads
and the tip of the ridge where Fort
pennsylvania was built commanded the
River road to the west. the Rockville
road to the northwest and the Brook
vile road to the north
At the junction of the River and
Rockville roads is a pretty home, gar
den bounded. and in the garden at the
road junction has long been sign
which reads, Gloria Point" That

gest something historic, and the Ram
bier thumbed over the indexes of a
number of Maryland histories in the
Library of Congress. looking for
