Many thousands of persons who,

themselves bound to go to the Capt.
tai city for one reason or another,
or to await always news and infor-
nation from Washington" he con-
tinued. The name Of the city was
on the lips of every one.
The time was ripe when the war
closed for extensive operations TO
make the city worthy of the nation"
stated Mr.. Hunt. Alexander r. Shep-
herd was the man who assumed the
leadership"
Mr.. Shepherd, he said was a fear
less. forceful and unconduerable man.
He forged ahead, and when he left
his Office Washington was made" he
continued. For the first time the
Capital of the nation was put in such
a position that it must become pride
of the nation"
DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, will ad-
dress the Washington Study at
Rauscher's next Thursday morning
