George Magruder Of Tenleytown, and
the daughter Of Thomas and sallie
Marshall, had In possession hunting
horn which had once belonged to
Clean Drinking Manor.
Comment on Clergyman.
In connection with hunting horns
the comments Of the old Colonial
chronicles having to do with Rev.
Alexander Williamson, rector Of Rock
Greek and nearest neighbor and boon
companion Of Judge Jones, are OF in
terest. He apparently was one of the
richest Church OF England members
in !Aaryland. In addition to being
witty and eloquent in the pulpit on
Sundays, 1t is said, ''he rode straight
to hounds, negotiated his three bottles
at one sitting, freely backed his own
and his neighbor's race horses, the
Colonies against the crown, and
played whist for double-eagle points
and five on the rubber"
Nor does historical interest in Clean
Drinking Manor center only about
Colonial and Revolutionary days.
Here with members OF the Jones
family, collaterally descended from
John Coates, its first patentee from
the crown, John Munroe, postmas-
ter OF Washington, took refuge with
his mail bags when he was fleeing
the British with the Government :
mail during the War Of 1912. A lit
tie log cabin across the road from
the manor house was pressed into use
as temporary repository for the Ma
tion's ofncial correspondence until
Postmaster Monroe felt it expedient
to return and deliver them.
Webster Was Caller.
To visit members Of the Jones fam
lily Of a later generation at the old
manor house came such distinguished
illustrious Americans of their day
as Clay. Webster and Calhoun.

year 1880, expressed in the deed as
lin style Of manor"
Just how this, one Of the Oldest Co.
lonial holdings of our entire Potomac
region, only about Z miles from the
gates Of the> White House itself, first
received the name that has clung to
it during the course Of nearly three
centuries is matter of conjecture.
This theory Is given much credence.
Surveyors July 6, 1899, setting forth
boundaries Of the grant, were partak-
ing of liquid refreshment. other than
that provided by the bubbling spring
near which they were resting from
their labors. One of their number
asked for more" but was refused
on the score that he and his asso-
ciates already had drunk clean" all
of the liquor usually supplied for such
occasions. Thereupon this disciple of
the tripod and chain. good humoredly
raised his empty flask high and broke
it with will against the spring, "and
the name of Clean Drinking clings to
1t still"
Note on Col. Coates.
In BroWnings Americans Of Royal
Descent" in the Library Of Congress
may be noted concerning Col. John
Coates, Clean Drinking's first
patentee. He was a planter in st.
Georges Hundred, Charles County,
Md. (from which Montgomery County,
Md, has since been carved out), q
Burgess and member Of the Mary
land Assembly for many years, and
being recommended to the King as
good, honest, substantial Protestant
was appointed a member of the Gov
ernor's Council and so served until
his death"
In dramatic contrast is the D. A. R.
tablet in the court room OF the Freder-
lex County Court House attesting that
his collateral descendant, Judge
Charles Jones, builder of the manor
house, previously referred to as the
husband OF Elizabeth Coates, was one
OF the twelve justices Of the colony
who in l765 formally repudiated the
stamp act OF their majesty, King
George III.
Further interesting records concern
ing this distinguished Maryland fam
lily indicate that this same Charles
Jones was the great-grandsire of Mrs.
John Augustine Washington, wife of
the last member Of the Washington
family to live at Mount Vernon, she
having been the daughter of his
daughter. Eleanor Jones, through her
marriage to Samuel Love. He had a
like connection also with the last Mrs.
Marshall Of Marshall Hall on the Po-
tomac, destined when it passed out Of
the hands Of the Marshall family to
become famous as popular river
landing resort, known for its planked
shad cooked in the open, and reached
chiefly by the steamer Marshall Hall.
This latter connection came about
through the marriage Of Sallie Jones,
his great-granddaughter, to Thomas
Marshall Of Marshall Hall. For many
years Mrs. Mamie Magruder, wife Of

NEW YORK, September 14.-Stock
market leaders today swept forward in
the best recovery drive since the start
of the downward slide.
At the best numerous issues re-
trieved / TO 5 points of their recent
losses and a few got up as much as Z
to is.
Although the ticker tape was behind
two minutes in the buying rush of the
first hour, the pace reverted almost to
a crawl in most of the subsequent pro-
ceedings.
Profit selling periods we're frequent
in which prices backed up appreciably.
These generally were succeeded by
further advances. Top marks were cut
down considerably in many cases be-
fore the close.
Outstanding news developments
from any sector we're scarce and
brokers were inclined to attribute the
abrupt right-about partly to the be-
lief of trading forces the selling of the
past weeks had been overdone and
at least temporary comeback was in
the offing.
Smallness of the turnover in COM
parison with the total on the retreat
was somewhat discouraging to the
analysts, many of whom felt the re-
versal of trend has yet to be con-
firmed.
Transfers were around 100000
shares.
Economist Roger Babscn added his
bit to inflationary thinking by fore
seeing a possible ultimate 20-cent doll
lar along with business improvement
and declining bonds.
Conspicuous shares on the march
were u. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Sloss-
Sheffield, American Steel Foundries,
Republic, Youngstown Sheet g. Tube,
Chrysler, General Motors, Santa Fe,
New York Central, Southern Pacific.

Hillyer Notes Business Gains.
Edward L. Hillyer, vice president of
the Union Trust Co., and former
president of the Washington Stock
Exchange, who recently returned from
a trip abroad, was much impressed
by the business improvement in many
different countries.
He found the resort hotels crowded
to the doors. Venice hotels were
filled, SO were hotels at the Lido. The
visit of the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor brought great many addi-
tional visitors to both of these resorts
Hotels in Budapest also were filed
to the last room.
Paris was thonged with travellers,
the hotels all reporting a splendid
season. The rush to the French capi-
tai was partly due to the exposition
and partly to the usual run of travel.
A comparatively new French law gives
all workers among certain classes
weeks vacation every year with pay,
resulting in a record number of
French people dashing to the resorts
everywhere.
In short, Mr. Hillyear found a high
degree of business prosperity, evi-
dence Of the depression having prac-
tically disappered.
Catalogues Stir Up Town.
In Blowing Rock, N. c., on recent
Monday morning Washington va
cationist parked his car in front of
the post office to get some stamps
The over-Sunday mail had Just been
distributed, and the Office was filled
with Summer visitors and permanent
residents.
AS the natives" stepped out onto
the sidewalk they all appeared to be
carrying telephone directories. Many
started to open their mail at once,
and 1t was noted that the phone
books" were Sears. Roebuck cata-
aogues. 1t looked as if everybody in
town had one.
No doubt there was a similar "cata-
iogue day. when the Montgomery.
Ward price lists were received. If
the mail order houses report an early
jump in business, part of it certainly
will have originated at Blowing Rock.
