active for his age. and gets about
unassisted. He Is the Oldest member
of the Association Of the Oldest In
habitants of the District Of Columbia
and Is an occasional visitor at Its
meetings.
Mr.. Godfrey's first visit to Wash
ington was in 1868, when he was
brought up the Potomac River on
boat and carried into Stanton Hos
pital on q stretcher, q wounded,
paroled prisoner Of war. His wound
was q severe one, in the thigh, and
he did not recover in time to 60 to
the front again. In 1854 he obtained
q detail for clerical duty in the War
Department, looking after muster
rolls, and in 1865 was discharged from
the Army, but continued from that
time on as a Government clerk.
Mr.. Godfrey, a few days ago, said
he marched with the Boys in Blue in
the Grand Review, and returned with
them to the vicinity of the Bladens-
burg road, where they remained until
mustered out.
After the close of the war he went
to board with Mrs. Mary Jane Kirk
wood, widow of DR.. Wallace Kirk
wood, physician and pharmacist and
founder Of the Kirkwood House,
where now stands the Raleigh Hotel.
At this time Mrs. Kirkwood had four
daughters, and Mr.. Godfrey married
one Of them in 1866, and has been q
resident OF Washington ever since.

IN READING of this grand review in
The Star, the writer came across
an interesting description Of Penn
sylvania avenue as it appeared upon
that occasion. In part, 1t said:
1T was supposed to be paved with
cobblestones, but so great had been
the travel over 1t by Government
wagons and teams, batteries Of Artil-
lery, ETC., that in comparison with 1t
today 1t was simply miserable. In
muddy weather 1t was at times so cut
up as to be almost impossible. Then
the sidewalks were almost exclusively
of brick, and in many places in bad
order. The Capitol grounds were then
surrounded by an iron railing set on
a wall and having stone gateWays.
Some OF this railing has since been util-
lied to form the north boundary of
the Smithsonian and Agricultural
grounds, and at the National Gene

Joseph Shillington, bookseller and
stationer, was located for many years.
There were several hotels and res
taurants westward on the square be-
tween -Four -and-a-half and Sixth
streets, and but little change has
taken place in the buildings on either
side except near Sixth.
THE Center Market then was COM
posed Of long sheds extending
from Seventh to Ninth streets, and
the front was open, as was also the
north side. the reservation not hav-
ing been inclosed. On the north side
Of Market space, at Seventh street, was
the Avenue House, q ur-story brick
building, occupying the site where the
old Saks building Is now located. As
now, business places, mostly dry goods,
fronted the space extending to Ninth
street, where Perry & Bro. conducted
the dry goods business in plain two
story brick. The Gunton property. on
the northwest corner Of Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, an old-fash-
ioned two-story brick, was occupied
for the drug business. Westward were
some old-fashioned bricks Of two and
three stories, nearly all of which have
been torn down or have been re-
modelled.
THE most prominent building in
the square was the iron hall building,
erected originally as a place Of amuse-
ment and then occupied, in part, by
Edward Droop. Near the corner Of
Tenth street the square was ended by
row Of three STORY bricks, that at
the corner being used as the Lewis

Commencing at First street, west.
where the Peace Monument now

Of the Avenue occupied by Botanical
Garden was much the same as now.
The circle in which the Peace Monu-
ment is located had not been made,
the west side Of First street and north
side Of the Avenue forming an acute
angle. There was a three-story build
ing at the corner. where a restaurant
was located, and westward several
three-story bricks. mostly used as
boarding houses and restaurants.
About the center of the square were
one or two old frame buildings and
some vacant lots. and at the corner Of
Second street, where the waters of the
Tiber were exposed. was a three-story
brick, built originally for the public
printing.
West of Second street to the corner
Of Third, the iron-front building of the
Adams Express Co. was the principal
one. and on the corner of Third street
was the st. Charles Hotel, then kept
by Seth Lamb. At the northwest
corner of Third street and the Avenue
was the Washington House, conducted
by Mrs. A. F. Beveridge, a three-story
building, with the main entrance on
the second floor, reached by stone
steps, the lower story on the Avenue
being occupied by stores. The site

In the nineteenth century, served as
"cub" reporters. Their assignments
included the story Of the century-the
day-by-d record of the Civil War,
while it was news, printed In the news
papers Of their day and compiled into
histories for permanent record.
The names of these men, together
with IA others who served with them,
are recorded on a memorial arch
erected to the memory Of Civil War
correspondents and artists in Cramp-
tons Gap, between Burkittsville and
Gapland, Md.
1t Is true that few Of these names
are associated in the public mind with
active newspaper writing. but all of
the men mentioned served as war cor
respondents during the Civil War.
The Nation had given no recogni-
ton to these correspondents, as such,
prior to 1895, when they, themselves,
erected a monument and presented 1t
to the Government. It Is now main
tanned by the Division Of Public Monu-
ments Of the War Department. The
funds for building the arch were fur
nished by the men whose deeds the
memorial was to commemorate.
The monument is in the style of a
Moorish arch. 20 feet wide. surmounted
by three Roman arches, and is capped
by q turret, the entire structure being
SO feet in height. It was built on
land donated by George Alfred Town
send, one Of the correspondents, who
in the late COS built a palatial estate
In Champions Gap. Many Washing
tonians enjoyed the hospitality of tn.
Townsends while they occupied the
estate, which was called Gapland.
NO MORE appropriate site for the
memorial could have been Sc
lected than the spot, high up in
Champions Gap, which had been an
important strategical point in the
campaign leading to the battles Of
Harpers Ferry. South Mountain and
Antietam. "A years ago this week.
1t was through Champions Gap that
the Confederate Army found ready ac-
cess to Harpers Ferry. The Gap pro-
vided an important part of the Con-
federate Army's stubborn resistance
to the advancing Federal troops under
Gen. Franklin. It was here that Nc

1t is understood the American

Law Requires Salutes.
The Ludkes have lived here for
about five years. Their children have
been refusing to salute the flag for
some time, but their action was noted
only recently and 1t was decided to
excuse them during the saluting ex-
ercises for a while in the hope the
matter could be adjusted without pub

Maryland's school law requires pa

1t Is pointed out, however, that II the
children were expelled, as has been
done in other States under similar
circumstances, the action might con-
fict with Maryland's compulsory at

OF MERGER PLAN
Christian Church Pastor
Urges Session to Consider
Union of Groups.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Assc ciatec Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 22.-Merger was
in the air at the Northern Baptist
Convention today.
No definite union with another
denomination was expected at this
annual meeting, but the proposal Of
a former president of the Interna-
tional Convention of Disciples Of
Christ christian church, for con-
sideration of an organic union brought
the matter squarely before the dele
gates.
DR.. George A. Campbell, pastor Of a
st. Louis Christian Church. told the
Baptists yesterday that "doctrinally
we are very close together and what
ever was the difference that caused
our separation in 1880, it is my con-
viction that our two communions now
hold very similar positions"
He asked the Northern Baptists to
appoint a committee this week to meet
with the Disciples convention in
Kansas City in october to consider
merger. The Disciples list men,
bership of $780, 900.
Warm applause greeted his sugges-
ton, and last night the Central Coun-
Gil of the Baptists was locked in a
long session. apparently to argue his
plea. DR.. Maurice d. Levy, CORE
spending secretary. of the Baptists
