these two noble men as teachers

passed their knowledge on to
the boys and girls who have
graduated from high school and
by hard study and perseverance
the credits they made were good

indeed be blessing if we had
more men like Mr.. Van Camp
and Mr.. Dore in our communi-
ties who would take an interest
IN our boys and girls.

To the west of the Carlisle resi-
dence-at 3l3 D street-lived Jo-
seph Fugitt, a well-known lumber
dealer of the early days, who built
this house in l849. The corner house
also was built by Mr.. Fugitt in 1859,
and No. 3ll, next to the Carlisle
home, was another of Mr.. Fugitts
enterprises. where once resided DR..
James Chesrey.
To the south Of the Courthouse
the line of D street extends but for
short space, and includes only two
original building lots. these being lot
Is. in square 533, at the southeast cor
ner of John Marshall place. and lot 81,
in square 4so, at the opposite corner

stood, until few years ago, the Fem
dali Law Building. erected in 1886,
where was the home of Philip Ricard
Fendall from l846 to the time of his
death in 1868. Mr.. Fendall was born
in Alexandria then in the District of
Columbia) in 1894.
JHE old building on the southwest
corner Of John Marshall place and
D street was bull as a Masonic Tenn.
pie on ground purchased by Federal,
Columbia. Lebanon and New Jeru-
salem Lodges. Tfe corner stone was
laid in 1926, ard the Masons lost
control of it in 1873. From 1887 to
1889 it was occupied as the city post
office, and later it became a dance
hall and was used for other amuse-
ments. Here Joseph H. Bradley made
his home from about 1850 to 1870.
In recent years it has been an ofice
building. for lawyers.
At the northwest corner of D and
Fifth streets was the johnson HELEN
home and later the police head
quarters. Then. going west toward
Sixth street. was the home of Daniel
Webster. 1t was built in the latter
part OF 1881 by the father of w. w.
Birth for Robert Burdine, and is
described as having been a two-story-
oAAA- oNSllliIE,
was later erected to the west a one
story addition, and the main entrance
placed in the center of the two
structures.
Nearly 80 years ago Douglass Zev-
ely, in writing of this house, said:
After Mr.. Webster vacated the
house 1t was leased by Mr. HELEN,
who had become the owner, to Mr..
Hamilton o. FAINT, whose wife was
the daughter Of Mr.. HELEN, and while
he occupied it an addition of another
story was made to the entire build

unusual presence. His common sense,

who was then residing In the Chain
Building as 1t was called, on H street
near Thirteenth. After congratu-
latory speeches had been made. u
which the general responded. the pro-
cession called upon Mr.. Webster,
though the move was commented on
as being in very bad taste. Mr.. Web
ster responded to the cheers Of the
large crowd and appeared on the
porch of this house His short speech,
as reported in the National Intel
ligencer, was as follows:
You. my fellow citizens, with
many others. have been engaged in
the performance Of an arduous and
protracted duty at Baltimore In max
Ing selection OF fit person to be
the candidate for the ONCE of Presi-
dent Of the United States. It so hap-
pened that my name was used before
that assembly, and the convention,
l dare say, did its best, exercised its
wisest and soundest discretion, and
for my part I have no personal feel
ing in the matter. I remain the
same in opinions. in principle and in
position that I have always been. You
may be assured that there is not one
among you who will sleep better to-
night than I shall. I tender to YOU
my thanks for this call of friendly
regard. I wish you we'll. Beneath
these brilliant stars and in the en-
Joyment Of the beautiful evening I
take my leave Of you with hearty
good wishes for your health and hap
piness'"
THE old Unitarian Church, which
stood where is now the Police
Court Building, can still be recalled by
many an early Washingtonian. As q
church, it ministered to the souls of
men; as hospital. during the Civil
War, 1t cared for the manned and
wounded soldiers who fought, and IN
some cases died. that their country
might live: and as a court it rendered
and is still rendering-a necessary
service for the encouragement Of mis-
demeanorS and crime.
The Stewart Building. on the corner
to the west of the Police Court, was
erected In 1893 by DR.. w. w. Stew
art. This corner has quite a history,
having once been owned by David
Burnes, the original proprietor. In
1902 lot was transferred to Walter
S. Chandler, who in 1905 decided 1t to
Benjamin Stoddert. Secretary of the
Navy, who soon transferred 1t to the
Tontine Co.'S trustees. In 1915 it be-
came the property of William Hewitt,
who also bought lot 2, and here he
made his home up to the time of his
death in 1889. Following the death of
Mrs. Hewitt the property went to their
children-Mrs. Charles S. Wallach and
Mrs. Raymond w. Burch-and here

Across the street at 632 and 634, r.
O. Polkinhorn conducted a printing
establishment as early as 1878, his
home being at 425 H street. AS the

building in the 900 block of this street

known as Justh's Old Stand. Just a

good advertiser and a successful
business man. His name was Emanuel

Mr.. and Mrs. Wallach lived. Follow
ing the Wallachs the next owner Of the
property was Mrs. r. r. Miller, and 1t
was purchased by DR.. Stewart in 1890.
In 1849 the house was rented by J.
P. Crutchet, noted chef Of his time,
and here he conducted for about 20
years q small, but very select hotel.
According to Allen c. Clark, 1t was at
this hotel that Lincoln was given q
dinner shortly after he arrived In
Washington for his first Inauguration.

INDEED, 1t is quite impossible, as we
see this section today, to imagine
its almost entirely unimproved con-
ditions up to the Civil War period,
and yet by referring to The Star of
July %, 1860, we will find complaints
about geese and hogs roaming in

Woodward Colt Even Money Choice in Wood
 Memorial

New York, April 30.-(UP)-Wil- liam Woodward's Fighting Fox, east ern favorite for Kentucky Derby honors, was an even money choice to win today's 14th running of the Wood Memorial Stakes at Jamaica.
 The Belair stud colt was coupled in the betting with Wheatley stables Stormscud and Quick Devil, neither of which is eligible for the Louis- vile feature.
 Two other Derby candidates were in the field of nine. Nedayr, owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer, will be try ing to redeem his failure in the Stuyvesant handicap last week, and Bourbon King, winner of the Chesa- peake Stakes in Maryland last week, is given a good chance.
 Others in the field are Can't Wait, owned by Myron Sel1ick; Mrs. w. P. Stewards Pasteurized; Woodland Farms Opera Hat; and Greentree stables Woodsong.
 The Wood is the final eastern Kentucky Derby preview, although it is at a mile and 70 yards com- pared to the Derby distance of a mile and a quarter. Today's run- ming carries a purse of $25,025 if all nine runs, with the winners $ share, $17,700.

Can't Waits Backers Pin Derby Hopes On 1937 Record
(By United Press)

whipped Fighting Fox, Redbreast, Chaps, Spillway, Regal Sun, and Tiger in the same event, especially when his margin over Fighting Fox was six lengths.
 Can't Wait is a chestnut sired by the famed Victorian, out of Winged Bee, by Infinite. Last sea- son he started in 10 races,s won five, and got second and a third each, earning $11,850.
 Can't Wait was among the lowly chalmers when he won his first race. He was carrying $3,OOO tag on his throat latch, and he beat nothing much. He won his next out in higher brackets $4,5OO-and by five lengths, with Wayne Wright in the saddle.
 By this time Can't Wait had found his real stride. He was moved up into an allowance race. With Eddie Arcaro aboard. he won three-length victory in mud. He made it four in a row by scoring a two-length victory over good opposition.
 Can't Waits initial stakes ap- pearance was in the Babylon Handicap. He was fourth to Redbreast, Mountain Ridge, and Chaps. It was no index of his ability, however, since he was in tight quarters for most of the journey. He finished with both courage and speed when once free to run.
 Can't Waits greatest triumph came in the Junior Champion, a race which is often called pre- Jude to the Kentucky Derby. since both Gallant Fox and Twenty Grand won it. He won it with amazing ease. beating Fighting Fox and Tiger, among others.
 Can't Wait has in his favor the fact that he ought to be able to run the Derby distance. and he can run equally well on a fast or muddy track.
