Today in
Washington History
RY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 26, 1796.-Lund Washington, jr.
was today appointed postmaster OF the
City of Washington. He is the son OF
Lund Washington who. for a number
of years, was employed by Gen. wash
ington as steward of the Mount Vernon
estate during the Generals absence In
the period of the Revolutionary War.
Mr.. washington succeeds Christie
pher Richmond, who, before ms ap-
pointment as postmaster, served Tor II
months as bookkeeper and paymaSter
in the Office of the City Commissioners
Mr.. Richmond died about five months
after assuming the Office.
Thomas Johnson, jr. was the nrst
postmaster of the city. He served at the
same time as secretary to the Board OF
Commissioners The first postoftice here
began business in July of last year, Mr
Johnson's appointment having been
made June "a. 1895. The first post
master announced that he had opened
the postoffice at his house on + street,
SQUARE No. 253." The location was on
the north side of the street between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, on
the block to the east OF the Little hotei
W0Nn The ASSiSJd1Ib EOotuinoSCA S1A
erai rendered the appointment TO Mr..
Johnson. he wrote to him from Phila-
deIuhia, stating that "the contractor
who carries the mail from Baltimore
to Alexandria has represented TO me
that the road which leads past your
house is not so good as the old road and
also that 1t is considerably further.
He asked for information on this point
The City Commissioners have con-
structed a post road through the city
This road follows the street ridge
Pennsylvania avenue has not yet been
opened. and is still unredeemed from
It's swampy condition. West OF Thir-
teenth street Pennsylvania avenue Is IN
better condition than 1t Is from. Thir-
teenth street to the Capitol Eventually
1t Is expected that the Avenue VIII take
the place of the road along the
street ridge as the principal thorough
fare from Capitol Hill TO the western
part of the city.
Mr.. Richmond kept the postofiee In
his residence at the southeast corner
of Thirteenth and F streets. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. washington viii use
his residence on the north side Of East
Capitol street a short distance from
First street, although many persons liv-
ing In other sections OF the city will
doubtless protest against moving the
postoffice TO that section.

Among the many articles that home
makers collect is sterling silver. The
ware itself is one of the necessities Of
the twentieth century home. It was
one of the luxuries of kings households
at its first entrance into domestic ap-
purtenances, but no longer is it either
so exclusively restricted or SO costly
that it is not obtainable for even the
family of moderate means.
The collecting Of silver. therefore, Is
somewhat on the order OF buying fur
niShings for home, since whatever Is
bought can be put to continued use
without impairing its value. II viii not
hreak-that is, unless the pieces or
iatware are so antique that they are
wern to 8 thread-like thinness. In this
silver is unlike the two other tableware
services, glass and china, which are
constantly endangered in washing ana
handling.
IT is the natware Of the kind every
homemaker possesses which, when 1t Is
sterling, can enter the scope of the
collectors belongings. Often beautiful
spoons, forks, fancy fiatware and small
piceSe of silver. such as tea stralners
salt cellars, ladies. ETC., can be picked
up in secondhand shops, now Tor the
most part designated as antique shops
or gift shops: but 1t is at the former
that the smaller prices may be expected.
Also there are In some silverSmiths
stores departments of antique silver,
where authenticated pieces can be
found and sometimes at prices no more
than anywhere else. These various
places are given for those who Ike to
browse around and pick up occasional
pieces whenever found within their
purse limits, and in the style that Is
10 their taste. BY comparing the cost OF
new and old silver it VIII be discovered
that the difference IN prices Is net
considerable. ordinarily. Then the Sc

ObIiterate varicose Veins.

A friend of mine from never mind

me his leg, writes medical corre-
Spondent. He had been treated for
varicosa veins. He says the doctor who
treated hirn slipped rubber band
around the thigh q few inches above
the knee and another around the leg
above the ankle, then injected Some-
thing into the vein just below the knee
and again half way down the calf and
a third time just above the ankle. After
each injection the leg eramped severely
for q few minutes. Two or three days
later the leg and thigh seemed much
infiamed, but the doctor assured him
that this was the usual occurrence with
every case, and that 1t would presently
subside This proved precisely so. Any
how, my friends leg now is just as good
and as smooth as the one that was

the treatment tells my friend II is in
