Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-26
BY JOHN CALCETT PROCTOR

y American Revolutionary history the
month Of October has played quite an
important part. In 1777 there were
two particularly important events
the battle Of Germantown, on October
4, and the surrender Of Burgoyne to Gen. Gates
ut Saratoga, on October IT, and the chief event
Of all, the surrender of Lord CORVALLIS at
Yorktown, on October 19, 1881. OF course, the
City of Washington was not In existence at this
time, and naturally could not take part in
this glorious victory, which practically brought
the Revolution to end, but doubt there
were Georgetown men and Alexandria men at
the surrender, as well as men from the coun-
ties parts of which later went toward making
up the District of Columbia; and indeed, David
Burnes, the original proprietor, might have
been there himself, for it is known that he did
serve In the War for independence.
But whereas the District was not in existence
in 1871, 1t was very much in evidence a hun
dred years later. when the corner stone Of the
Yorktown Monument was laid at Yorktown, Va,
on October 10, 1881 and locally at least took
an important part upon that occasion.
How interesting 1t is to look over the columns
Of an old newspaper and read the names of
some of the old residents perhaps long since
passed away-well known citizens, with whom
you may have had a personal ACQUAINTANCE, and
whom you maybe recall for their sterling worth
and for their active part in civic and other
affairs. 1t surely will bring to mind flood of
memories. as it did to the writer when he read
in The Star of the entertainment and recep-
ton accorded the Governments foreign guests
when they stopped over in this city just 49
years ago this month when their way to
Yorktown.
THE German contingent arrived here on the
morning Of october IA, and The Star of
that date tells that
The German guests members of the great
Won Steuben family, arrived in the city little
after o'clock this morning, and had a quiet
reception at the depot from officers Of the State
Department. German Minister, District Com
Inissioners Dent and Morgan and MesSrs. Vogt,
Rnppert, Droop and others. representing the
German citizens of Washington. The visitors
were driven at to the Arlington Hotel.
The party, which is in charge Of Gen. Charles
Adams the United States Minister to Bolivia
numbers only seven members, as follows: Arndt
Won Steuben, aged Sc, colonel of the 18th In
fantry, stationed at Hidesheim, and chief Of
the mission; Fritz Won Steuben, aged As, cap
tain of the 4th Royal Guard Infantry, stationed
at Spandau, and brother Of the colonel:

rice Humphrey Joyce, Washington stock
broker, who met a tragic death when he was
drowned OF Quantico, Md, back in 1910. Mira
Joyce later became Mrs Charles A. Fiske
Many Of the men mentioned as having been
prominently connected with that patriotic pro-
cession q half q century ago were then In the
prime of life. Today, If alive they must indeed
be in the venerable class; for try as we may
the milestones over which we have passed can
not be removed TO suit our pleasure.
Col Myron M. Parker lived to a ripe old age.
and died but recently. He later served the Dis
trict In many honorable positions, holding the
office Of Commissioner of the District of Co
lumbia during 1898 and 1894.
Capt. Charles r. Vernon, who had charge Of
the mounted police escort that day, as the
writer recalls him, was tall. slender man, who
reflected much credit upon the department he
then served. Naturally the police force was not
as large at that time as it is now, and the per-
sonnet OF chief officers for 1880 includes only
the major and superintendent, William @:
Brock; property clerk, William j. Dunivan; cap.
tain and inspector, Charles r. Vernon, and clerk,
e. D. Appleton. The detective corps consisted
of John w. Coomes, George w. McElfresh,
James A. McDevitt George o. Miller, Augustus
H. Voss and Joseph N"t~n
THERE were then just e-i,alf as many pre-
cincts as now. No. l was in charge Of
Lieut.. GeSsfOrd, father of Harry L. GesSford,
retired major and superintendent Of police No.

Lieut. Skippen, No. by Lieut.. Noonan, No. 5
by Lieut.. Kelly. father Of the recently made
chief Of detectives, Capt Edward Kelly No. 6
was in the charge of Liert. Greer. and No. 2
of Lieut.. Austin.
Among the other aids mentioned to the chief
marshal Levi Woodbury. was of the st. James
Hotel; Thomas L. Hume of the firm Of Hume,
Cleary & Co.; James e. Waugh broker; Dr.
Smith Townshend, practicing physician and
District Health Oficer; George H. Plant of the
City Post ONCE; S. H. Merrill, another official
of the Postal Service. and w. J. Stephenson,
then one of our foremost coal merchants.
Col. William g. Moore, who led the Washing
ton Light Infantry that day, shortly afterward
became the superintendent of police, and his
administration, which covered a number Of
years. was an unusually good one. He was q
very plainSpoken man-sometimes emphatically
so-and for that reason no one ever left his
Office without knowing where he stood, and it
was just this characteristic that made him
admired by the people.
Quite q number of names of officers taking
part In the military parade are remembered with

or course, We all recall Edward F. Droop
who was one Of those who helped represent the
German citizens of the District-tall and portly
with q kindly face and becoming side whiskers,
long since gone to his reward, but still well
represented here in business by his two sons,
Edward H. and Carl A., who have followed in
their fathers footsteps and are of our fore
most citizens. He was then q partner in the
firm Of W. G. Metzerott & Co., at Gas Penn
sylvania avenue, next door TO John L. Vogt.
the well known confectioner and business man
Of that period and later who also served on the
Reception Committee
The writer did not know Commissioner Dent
nor Commissioner Morgan, but he did have an
ACQUAINTANCE with the latters son, Thomas p.
Morgan, jr., and his daughter, Mrs. Samuel w.
Stinemetz, who died only recently.
A MOTHER group OF names occurring In the
press in connection with the the procession,
in which about all Of the military companies Of
Washington took part, as well as other organi-
zations will naturally be Of interest to the old
residents especially in the way The Star
tells it:
About the city early today there were evil
dences of the gay ceremonies of the afternoon.
The German and French tricolors were seen
ON every hand, festooaed with Stars and Stripes
or arranged in tasteful designs The decora-
lions on Pennsylvania avenue in honor Of the
guests were very general Here and there some
black draperies gave a somber tinge to the
whole and reminded the people in the midst of
the festivities of the season of sorrow through
which the Nation has just passed. Militiamen
in gay uniforms, knights in regalia and others.
fastening to places of rendezvous also gave
animate tokens of the ceremonies in prepara-
ton.
THE procession to escort the guests from
the Arlington to the Capitol commenced to form
on Pennsylvania avenue in the neighborhood of
the Washington Circle at noon. The late ar
rival of the civil bodies which were expected to
parade delayed matters considerably and 1t
after / o'clock when the procession moved.
The following was the order in which the
bodies marched: Platoon Of mounted police,
commanded by Capt. C. r. Vernon; chief mar
shall, Col Robert Boyd; aids, M. M Parker,

COL ROBERT BOYD, the chief marshal of

Columbia Volunteers, in which he served from
April 90 1861, to August 90 1865. He was of
an old District family, and on October S, 1884.

FAMOUS JEALOUSIES
Rivals Jealousy Helped Sheridan to Win Fame and
Fortune With Great Comedy.
By y. r. GLASS. e,e+ s+t* !, gee

Richard Brinsley Sheridan made the
most OF q duel arising out Of jealousy.
He put IL into his FIRST play. That play.
The Rivals" Was q great success. It
was the pedestal Of Sheridan's fame and
fortune. Written in l774. It still Is re-
vived now and then TO amuse and de-
light US.
Sheridan began TO display his literary
abilitieS-which were inherited, for his
father, Tom Sheridan, was q rival OF
David Garrick as an actor, and his
mother, an eccentric genius, wrote
novels and plays-soon after he de-
parted from school at Harrow. But II
was not until he had gone to Join his
parents at Bath that he figured In an
episode which was to bring his fast
budding genius TO flower.
1t was at Bath that he met the beau
tiful Maid Of Bath" =. IS Betsy Linley
q singer Of wide repute, then only 16
but clever and more than Q little bit
coquettish.
THE lovely Betsy was afforded all sorts
Of chances for profitable marriage to
elderly suitors, but, a. might have been
expected, she returned the soon-ac-
knowledged love of Sheridan, impecuni-
GUS but only years older than she.
She dared not disclose her romance
to her father. for the hard-hearted Mr..
Linley had no sympathy for poverty
stricken lovers. Neither did Sheridan
feel that he could formally request her
hand. The suit was an elopement.
Sheridan persuaded his sister to lend

! him money out Of her housekeeping
funds, and they set out by boat TO Dun
kirk, where they were married by an
obliging priest. and immediately de-
parted for France. =
The OF Mr.. Linley soon followed
them. He recaptured Betsy and con-
veyed her back TO England, Sheridan
following, rathe- helplessly, but deter
mined somehow to assert himself.
Events assisted him. A certain Capt.
M tthews, completely fitted for the role
OF villain-stage or otherwise-had for
some time designed to appropriate Betsy
Linley for his own. The Interpolation
of young Sheridan caused him to post
the budding literary genius a. % har
and scoundrel." Discovering this, Sher-
idan forced him into duel.
The first encounter was failure. A
second being arranged, Matthews ran
his opponent through. This brought TO
light the secret marriage ut Dunkirk,
for --etsy claimed the right Of Q wife
to nurse her wounded husband. The
outcome was q legal marriage in Eng
land, but Linley practically discwned
his daughter, and old Tom Sheridan
outlawed his son completely.
Matters were at low ebb. How
ever, the true genius of Sheridan evinced
itself. Out Of the incidents Of his own
experience he built 1.-THE Rivals" Capt
Matthews supplied the idea Of that
great character, Bob Acres. -s'-'@T-
