Washington was never without its
irish patriots, and about 1903 one
particular patriot, named Nicholas
Callan, came to Washington and set
tied on the south side of F street,
west of Willard Hall. According to
an early account, he was a native
of Dundalk, Ireland, and had been
in the revolutionary army fighting
against England when, in 1893, he
was taken prisoner and jailed in
Dublin. As he was surveyor by
profession and a good penman, the
prison authorities made use of his
services in keeping the accounts, and
he was rewarded with a pass to 60
out in the town.
Watching for an opportunity to
get away, he finally succeeded, and
reaching his home at Dundalk, called
on his wife, and with her and their
child left his home and kindred,
made his way to vessel, and sailed
for Philadelphia. They carried moth
ing with them save q glass vase,
which the wife long cherished as
the only relic they had of their old
home. They remained in Philadel-
phia a few months, and, coming to
this city. resumed housekeeping on
