steamboats, Phenix and Joe johnson.
The captain of the Phenix was Peter
Jones. and after his retirement from
the steamboat trade he became and
long remained proprietor of Jones
Hotel. at the corner of 10th and Water
streets. Before 1850 the steamboat
wharves stretched from 10th to 18th
streets and the Jones Hotel did a
prosperous business. When Jones re-
tired from the command of the Phe-
Guy. who. between the days of the
Phenix and his death at Alexandria
in the early sos. commanded several
Potomac steamers.
The Joe Johnson was commanded
by her owner, after whom she was
named. and he was succeeded by Capt.
Job Carson. who had been mate of
the Phenix.
The Phoenix and the Joe johnson
carried on the ferry business between
Washington. Georgetown and Alexan-
dria from 1897 until the late sos. The
Johnson sank at her dock at Alex
andria and pieces of her were brought
up by a dredge about twenty-five
years ago. The Salem" said Capt
Walters, was brought here in 1S43 or
1874 by the Dodges Of West Washing
ton for towing purposes. They were
then engaged extensively in the West
ln0ld sugar tTdQe ana the SdleHl was
mostly used for towing those ships
up and down the river, but she also
did some service as a passenger
steamer under command of Capt
Baker. She was also once in the gov
eminent service. having early in the
sos taken on a force of men who
captured the schooner Pearl. which
was engaged in carrying runaway
slaves out Of the District of Column
bia. But 1 must not forget to tell you
about the boat whose name in the
olden time was a household word in
the District. She was the old Co
Iumbia, built about 1880. Capt. Mitch
ELL who died in 1862, was her COM
mander, when 1 first knew her in
1897, and she ran between this city
and Baltimore. stopping at every
landing on the river. Capt. Harper
succeeded Capt. Mitchell. She was
sold to Baltimore men and I saw
her there a few days ago"
Capt. Walters recalled the steam
boat Osceola, which ran on the
Washington, Norfolk and Baltimore
route, and he mentioned the Express.
which many Washington people who
Capt. Walters told OF the Thomas
Coilyer, which was the first regular

stern. George Page, the builder OF
the ferryboat George Page. was a
man of some eminence in our commu-
nifty. He died in 1873 at the age OF
seventy-four years. The Rambler mas
found the following account or MIN
printed at the time of his death:
Death Of Capt George Page. the well known
inventor: -
Many of the residents of the District viii
regret to learn that Capt. George Page, former
ly a resident of this city. died at ire resi-
Saturday last in the seventy-fourth year o,
his age. Capt. Page established the ir1n Of
George Page & Co. founders and machinisis
about forty years ago.
He possessed great energy and through M
ingenuity produced many machines which h'
ived to see put into practical operation nn'
wealth of the country. among them being TN
mOrticing machine. turning machine, enselol
machine and circular sawnill
For many years he resided in South W ASH
ington and carried on plant for buiidint
windmiils and steamboats, and doing all othel
kinds of machine work. The steamboats, ' ir
ginia William Seden, Champion. George Pag'
and Union were built by him.
At one time he represented the seventh
ward in the Washington city councils. HIS re
mains will be inferred in Congressional GENE

This matter brings to the Rambler's
recollection another local inventor. OF
the name of Page, who came in for d
good deal of publicity and enjoyed
wide popularity in his time This was

the early settlers in the neighborhooo

of storieS-abOut ten years ago-he
wrote about DR.. Page and his cleo
tric-magnetic engine and the follow

files:
Several weeks ago the Rambler recalled va
rious facts concerning old settlers in the
ncighborhood Of Park road. Georgia avenue
and the Whitney avenue or Park road gate /o
the Soldiers Home. The facts were gathered
in n brief talk with William ]. Frizzell. who's

summer months it was the practice to
have the Marine Band play on the
lawn just south of the house, and for
few hours the public was admitted
to the spacious grounds there, where
they sat about and listened to the
music. Frequently the President and
the first Mrs. Wilson would sit on the

public.

VACATIONISTS WARNED TO KEEP
A WATCHOUT FOR POISON IVY

Look out for that poison IVY is
an oft repeated cry these picnic days.
ITO know the poison ivy is to avoid
it. yet 20 admire it, for its sturdy
self-defense," says communication
to the National Geographic Society
The poison ivy is a member of the
sumac family, having as relative the
vinegar tree, the smooth sumac. and
the smoke-bush. Its range reaches as
far north as Nova Scotia, as far south
as Florida and Texas, and as far west
as Utah and British Columbia.
Not Virginia Creeper.
Many people confuse the Virginia
creeper with the rascally poison ivy,
a confusion which nothing but care
lessness in remembering the charac-
teristics of plants could bring about;
for the Virginia creeper is careful al
ways to put forth five leaves. where
the poison ivy has only three
1.-The Virginia creeper is condemned
as being poison ivy oftener than poi
son ivy is accredited with being Vir-
ginia creeper. Many Virginia
creeper has reached the untimely end
of mattock execution by the error,
and not a few people have received a
painful reminder of their mistake
that three leaves spell foe in the
ivy vine and five leaves friend
A Prodigal Climber.
The poison ivy, or poison oak. as
some call it, is a prodigal climber,
inclined to run over everything in
sight. Even the oak sometimes is al
most smothered when the poison ivy
reaches it's topmost branches and
1T begins to blossom in May and
June. it's flowers being small, fra
grant, yellowish green, and arranged
in densely clustered spikes. Toward
fall these develop into smooth. white.
waxlike berries that often hold fast
the winter through. The three leaves
are shining green. short-stemmed,
and oval-pointed.
THE poison of this ivy is a pow
erful, non-volatile oil which pene-
trates the pores of the human skin
and develops hosts of tiny itching
blisters, followed by burning swell
ing of the affected parts.
''While we very naturally dislike
a plant that poisons us when we
touch it. yet if we investigate the
reason for its poison we discover
that a vast number OF plants develop
we look over the list We find that We
would be rather badly off without
them. 1t is true that most of them
are poisonous only when eaten. and
that few are poisonous to the touch,
but they have all developed these
qualities in self-defense.
Plant Worlds Gift to Man.
Some of them store their poison
in their seeds, others in their root
stocks. and others in their roots to
protect their progeny from harm.
They do not go about looking for
trouble or seeking, like the devil,
whom they may destroy: but they are
prepared, to resist invasion of the
rights of their children. Nux vomica
and aconite are two of many such
that might be cited

At the request of the Bermuda
authorities. the British embassy yesr

ment relative to the recent alleged
insult to the American flag at Ham,
ilton. Bermuda: 20 enc
Recent accounts of the alleged in
suit to the American flag at Bef-

the facts being as follows:
1.-TWO drunken sailors began to
lower an American flag which was
flying on a hotel in Hamilton, but
when Col. Outerbridge of the United
States 23d Infantry demonstrated
with them they desisted and left the
flag flying.
They were subsequently arrested
for drunkenness and their actions
were severely censured by the magis-
trate, who fined them and handed
them over to the naval escort for
disciplinary action"
