members of the Society of Washing

lar organization is the Landscape
Club, and this club has its studio at
1921 18th street. where there are going
to be some sjolly doings. 10 which the
Rambler is going to be invited. This
Landscape Club has been painting the
environs of Washington for SO many
years that it has almost finished the
job. You can look at August Role
and Abe Schram in the picture.
They are not actually painting, but
are posing. The Rambler's camera
is not one of those modern affairs
with which you make a snapshot in
one -millionth of a second and don't
get a picture. 1t is a slow-going at
fair, and the Rambler asked August
and Abe to stand still for half an
hour until he could set up his camera
and then for twenty-five minutes
more until he could get the thing to
going.
Let us meet again next Sunday.

a good deal about money In order to
succeed in business, and even after
being sure that the money was OF
true metal, they accepted most Of
the foreign coins only at their bull

You will note that the act Of 1873
directed that the warehouse at Bla-
densburg should be set up on the
land Of DR.. David Ross. The house
In which DR.. Ross lived is still stand

was bought by Samuel K. Lee. a COL
ored man who came to Bladensburg
from the Pohick nei2hborhood OF
Virginia and whose family took its
name from the Lees of Leesylvania
on Neabsco creek. Samuel left the
Ross house to his son. William o. Lee.

legislature Of Maryland passed an
act "to enlarge the powers Of Ariana

THERE are a great many things
about old Bladensburg which the
Rambler hopes to be able to tell you.
but before closing this narrative let
him relate little incident, pleasant
little incident. of his visit to the town
last Sunday. In two Of the by-ways
of the village four men were paint
ing. Each had his easel before him
and his palette and brushes in hand.
Each worked :ndustriously to put
a bit of Bladensburg on canvas.
Neither Of these men had q camp
stool Each stood at his work, and
stood in mud. Each had the collar
of his overcoat turned up, for raw
wind was blowing. The Rambler
thought these figures in the distance
had a familiar look. They we've old

THOSE who are planning to s~t up

birthplace of 'Marse Henry" Water
son must wait until a controversy as
to the exact location OF his place of
birth in the National Capital has hen
settled.
The Congressional Directory for the
Twenty-sixth Congress- shows that
the first session was from December
2, 1889. until July q, 1S40. During
that time Representative and Mrs.
Harvey M. Watterson lived at the.
home of Mrs. Brawner. on Pennsyl-
vania avenue between I'd and Sd
streets. where the big elm now stands,
opposite the Botanic Garden. As
Henry was born on February Is, 1s40,,
it is argued that he was born Ct that

it. though this was sometimes done,
and more often in Virginia than in
Maryland. Perhaps we may find that
before the town of Bladensburg was
regularly provided for by the legis-
lature there was cluster of mills,
stores and homes at that site and
that the place was known as Jones
Mill, Smiths Store, Two Creeks. CAL
verts Meadows. or something of that
sort.
Beginning in 1850 and searching
forward to 1900 through the acts of
the Maryland assembly, the Rambler
found a few references to Bladens-
burg, and If he finds it convenient to
run a series of narratives about
Bladensburg, he will search from 1850
back to 1900. The first reference
to Bladensburg which he came upon
was in an act of the assembly in
1873 for "the regulation of the staple
Of tobacco and for preventing frauds
in his majesty's customs" The act
recited that public warehouses for
the inspection of tobacco shall be
kept at the several places mention
ed" as follows:
In st. Mary's county: At Chaptico,
on the land of the late Philip Key; on
a plantation where a certain Gilbert
Mackey lived; at st. Innegoes. on the
land Of Stephen Milburn; at Wicomico,
on the land of John Llewellin; at the
courthouse. on the land Of Abraham
Barnes; on St. Cuthbert's creek. on
the land of Francis Brooke: at Town
creek, on the land Of Hugh Hopewell.
In Charles county: At Benedict
town, on the Patuxent river; at Piles
Fresh, on Mr.. John Parnham's land;
at Lower Cedar Point, on Charles
Jones' land: at Chandler's Point. on
Port Tobacco creek; at Nanjemoy. on
Patowmack river, on the land OF
Richard Harrison; at Chickamuxen
creek, on the land Of William Small
wood; at Pamunkey creek. on the
land of the late John Truman Stodert.
