Capital of Past, Present,

Annual Gathering.

The National Capital of the past,
present and future was depicted last
night before the Society of Natives of
the District of Columbia at its annual
banquet at the Shoreham Hotel.
James F. Duhamel, historian OF the
society, related the story of the laying
of the corner stone of the District OF
Columbia. washington of the present,
in the midst Of the greatest Federal
building program in its history, was
shown in moving pictures, produced by
VIII p. Kennedy.
1.-THE Washington of the future" de-
clared Fred A. Emery, president of the
society, In discussing this subject, will
be . city beautiful, unsurpassed in the
annals of the world, unparalleled as a
symbol of the greatness of America and
linitleSs beyond the dreams of today.
Predicts Glorious Future.
ats progress as the most majestic of
all world capitals cannot be stayed,
said Mr.. Emery. cts constant expan-
sion is the fruit of national pride,
Nationwide appreciation of Washing
tons function in the. scheme of Ma
tional Government, and of continuous
study and intelligent anticipation by
great minds among our own people OF
the District and the allied work of great
minds of the country at large.
"It Is and has been the national am
bition of a great country to make OF

trict and city, for 1t is in the founda-
ton Of the Government lighthouse at
Jones Point, the junction of the Poto-
mac and Hunting Greek.
THAT 18th of April, 1871, was q
festive day in the lively town of Alex
andria, and as Commissioners Carroll
and Stuart had some distance to travel
to reach the town, they did not arrive
until o'clock in the afternoon, but
were Immediately taken to Wise's Tav-
ern, where they were introduced to old
John Barleycorn and toastS were drunk
as christening to the coming metrop-
oils. Then a procession was formed
and all the leading citizens and organi-
cations of the town accompanied the
commissioners to Jones Point, and the
surveyor designated the site and set the
stone, accompanied by Masonic cere-
monies. Rev. DR.. Muir of the First
Presbyterian Church then delivered an
Grafton, and have no doubt that he
made many predictions of the future
city and Nation.
Again they visited Wise's Tavern
and drank more toasts and history
records that they all reached home
without collisions, crashes or Skiddings.
mo doubt it would have been the
wish OF Washington to be present at
this ceremony, both as q Mason and to
show his interest in the enterprise, but
he was then on q trip through the
Southern States and felt that he had
left the work in faithful hands. On his
return he again took an active interest
in the work while President and after
retiring from Office, and among his last

sentative of all that Is best in the great
est government on earth. For this city,
that has grown from the 5000 OF Wash
ington'S day to half a million OF today,
is the symbol of America, and the time
is not far distant when its people will
pass in numbers the million mark and
reach, as our orator of a year ago pre-
dicted a million and a half within a
half century from now.
Every American coming to wash
ington feels a share in the proud per-
sonal ownership in the National Capital
and q pride in its beauty and dignity
and in that architectural inspiration
guiding the development of our city. IL
is here, on this national stage, that the
great drama of the national life OF
America has been played, where the
foundations of our Government have
shown their perpetual SoundneSS, and
here in the great future will be faced
the great problems of the Nation"
Mr.. Duhamel in his discussion OF the
founding of the Federal City declared
that George Washington was no pro-
craStinator."
Site Selection.
After lots of dickering and log roll
ing during the year of $780," said Mr..
Duhamel, Congress finally gave the
President authority to select a site for
the National Capital in this vicinity,
and on January "a, 1791, Washington
reported that his committee had agreed
on the present location. The three
Commissioners, David Stuart, Thomas
Johnson and Daniel Carroll of Rock
Greek, had been appointed on January
%, two days before the site was an
nounced.
Negotiations were Immediately start
ed with the original proprietors and the
surveyors also were put to work. The
purchase of the properties was task
that tried the soul of the first Presi-
dent and called for several conferences
and much correspondence, but was
finally concluded and all the deeds
signed June %, 1871.
THAT no time should be lost, how
ever it was determined to lay out the
District, and the first substantial act
was the placing of the first boundary
stone of the District on what We may
call the birthday of the city and Dis
trict. Unfortunately, that marker is
now far from the bounds OF the Dis
