IN the spring of 1886 William Pink
ney, the young minister-he was
then twenty-six years old-was call
ed to rhe parishes Of ST. Matthew
Montgomery counties, after refusing
the offer of a chaplaincy in the Navy
made him by Commodore Ballard,
then about to sail with his squadron
to South America. He entered on his
pastoral duty the first Sunday in May,
1886. The territory in which he min
istered covered the northern part OF
Prince Georges county and the south
ern part of Montgomery. According
to DR.. Meyer Levin. it extended from
Bladensburg northwesterly toward
Rockville, northward to Laurel and
Mechanicsville and to line six or
eight miles below (southeast) Bladens-
burg
There were two churches in that
territory. One was st. Matthews,
four miles southeast of Bladensburg
which we all seem to know better as
Addison Chapel. an old brick house
of worship near Seat Pleasant. The
other was st. Marks. about eight
miles northwest of Bladensburg, and
which was better known as Paint
Chapel or Paint Branch Chapel.

X-ray photographs BY means Of sec

could not directly reach the photo

the hand. such as pieces of wood, zinc
and brass, were found to possess,
similar property Of being excited to
the emission of invisible rays by the
action Of the tube. On two occasions

hundreds yards north of the road. a
gray cement house. That is d new
house built on a part of the founda-
ton Of the house of Blenheim. which
was burned about 1898. That is a
guess, based on certain assumptions.
and the Rambler would not guess if
he had been able to learn for you
the time of the burning of the house.
This house and twelve acres of the
Bfenheim property are now owned
by F. A. Volland. who built the
house.

DLENHEIM HOUSE was frame, with
center building and wings. The
center building was two stories high,
with a steep roof above from which two
tall chimneys rose. The front door
was in the middle of the house, and
a hall ran the depth of the house.
On each side of the door were two
windows and there were five windows
in the front a. the second story. The
wings were small. one-story struc-
lures, that on the east end of the
house being used by the Bishop Pink
ney as a study, and that on the west
end being the kitchen. The present
house stands above the foundation of
the old central building. and there
are marks which show where the
small wing structures stood. In the
broad green park between the house
and the Annapolis road is an avenue
double lined with old spruce trees.
and there are lindens. tulip poplars
and cedars. in whose shade Benjamin
Lowndes and Bishop Pinkney and his
wife often sat and talked.
