THE younger generation now liv-
ing in Washington and the
more recent arrivals in the
n District, who have taken up
their residence here. can note many
changes in the city just in the last
few years, but nothing, of course, to
compare with the great transforma-
ton seen by many an old-timer who
has lived to see some parts of the
Nations Capital actually developed
from woodland areas into thickly
settled communities.
Fifty-ive or sixty years ago there
were certain buildings standing on the
high ridges surrounding the city, which
today are fondly recalled by the early
resident who. per chance, spent his
childhood days hereabout.
One of these structures was the
old Insane Asylum Building, now
known as ST. Elizabeth's Hospital,
which was visible many miles away
and showed up much more distinctly
than 1t does today. when it was the
only building of the large number
now forming that great humanitarian
institution for the mentally Ill. For
many miles to the west and north
west of Anacostia, or Uniontown, as
this section was earlier called. this
castle-like building could be easily
seen. just as Georgetown University
and Arlington were discernible miles
away.
The old main building of Soldiers
Home was also conspicuous and could
be seen for long distances, and on ac-
count of its prominence was used as
a wigwag station during the Civil
War, when messages were transmitted
to it by flag signals from near Fort
Stevens, and thence to the Capitol
Nearby, in the grounds of the home,
at the same period was Harewood
Hospital, where many a manned
soldier passed to the great beyond,
some being fortunate enough, how
ever, to be invalided home and a few
might still be living and be able to
relate their experiences while being
treated in this well-knoWn hoSpltal
when that part of the Soldiers Home
grounds belonged to w. w. Corcoran,
whose country residence still stands
In the southeastern part OF the
reservation.
"A MOTHER building, which occupied
= lofty position and could be seen
many miles to the south before the
city was built up with high struc-
lures. was the original or main build
ing of Howard University, which is
still standing and apparently as solid
as a rock, although it was first oc-
cupied in November. 1858.
This building and the neighborhood
in general are rather familiar to the
writer, since he can recall the days

man avenue, defectinS into Eighth

Between Hobart and Kenyon streets
was the Schuetzen Park, purchased
by the Washington Scheutzen verein
about 1857. Nearby were the home
and slaughter house of John H. Click,
on the northeast corner of Howard
place and Georgia avenue, lived
John B. King, father Of Mrs. Emma
r. CKing) Heffner. who is now the
venerable widow Of the late Capt.
James e. Heffner Of the metropolitan
police force. It was on this site that
Mrs. Heffner was born, February "a.
ls4s. the property being carved out
Of the extensive holdings in the vi
cinity Of John A. Smith.
From Howard place to Florida ave-
nue. lived Mrs. Beckert. Ohio Gattrell,
a butcher; w. Belt and James john
son, an early lieutenant of police.
The johnson house still stands at
the entrance to the base ball park,
and the site of the Park Hotel, an
old landmark in this section, is now
occupied by a gasoline station. a short
distance north of the Lieut.. johnson
house.
1t is quite likely that Gen. o. o.
Howard had the Park Hotel building
in mind when he said that an old
frame dance house situated on the
east side of the Seventh Street road
was used for the first school of How
ard University, although the Park
Hotel was Of brick construction. The
city directory shows that as early as
1865. Louis Boyer was conducting this
hostelry, which was really an old
time tavern or q farmers lodging
house. He also, then, and for some
years later, conducted Beyer's Park,
Q picnic and dancing grounds, where
beer was served instead of water
but for which Q small charge was
made. The base ball park now oc-
cupies these grounds, which at one
time were covered with massive oak
trees.
THE origin Of Howard University
shows that 1t started out with
small ideas which rapidly developed
and increased In scope. and from
what was at first intended as Just an
ordinary school, in . few months grew
0 university.
There were many men who went
into the Civil War with an idea Of
freeing the slaves, who had no idea
as to what to do with them when
once they were liberated. John Paul
Jones, when asked to surrender by the
British captain. said: II have just
begun to fight!" And so it was with
Gen. Oliver O. Howard, who at the
close Of the Civil War, was appointed
commissioner Of the Bureau of Ref
ugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned
Lands, which gave him control Of
many millions Of dollars to care for
the newly emancipated Negroes, and
naturally he reasoned, as did Paul
Jones, that there was q tremendous
job ahead for some one to do, and
started In to do It there and then.
Schools were soon organized, and by
1858 there were more than four thou
sand schools for colored children In
the United States, the first school for
freedmen being established here in
Washington.
The university idea, We are told,
had its inception in, the missionary
meetings led by Rev. c. B. Boynton in
the First Congregational Church, and
it was at subsequent meetings Of this
society that 1t was proposed to secure
for the Freedmen's Bureau the assist
ance necessary to establish three
chairs Of instruction at the university.

Where Is Alexander Hamilton?

DUT one great American name has been shufled
I'D off into the discard. I have heard very little
from any of the Republican orators about Alexander
Hamilton Once 1t was the proud boast of the
c. o. p that Andrew Mellon the greatest Sec
rotary of the Treasury since Hamilton Now there
seems to be a disposition to allow both gentlemen
the healing balm of silence
Not very long ago Mr.. Hearst had editorial
about the heroes of the Constitution. and by some
curious slip omitted Hamilton. Possibly it not
an oversight. The opponents of the New Deal have
obviously decided to kidnap Jefferson For the first
time in the history Of American politics he is being
pictured as a Republican saint. And it makes it
very awkward to praise Hamilton and Jefferson at
the time, since those two boys didn't get along
Even jefferson may give his new sponsors some
little trouble. He is being exploited now a man
who fought against centralized government and the
usurpation of power by the President. Well, he did

I think Mr. Smell would have great deal of diff
fculty in justying that completely in the clear light
of history 1t not fairly be said that Alexander
Hamilton fanatical about "the humble man."
The Constitution was not written by who served

and though he abroad when the Constitution

And if Mr. Smell thinks the Constitution was writ
