at least for while. Take the names
OF the alleys, for instance. Fifty
years or more ago it was common to
see IN the press such names as
Browns alley, Organ alley. Temper
Hnce alley, Cabbage alley, Goat alley,
Tin Cup alley, Baptist alley, Cow
alley, Grinders alley, Fighting alley,
Republican alley, Liver alley and
Louise alley, a number of which were
right in what is now the center of
the city.
There were other localities in the
Washington of bygone days that to-
day are recalled only by the more
venerable residents. such as "Observ-
atory' or Camp Hill
This locality. the present site of
the Naval Hospital, at the foot of
TWenty-fourth street, was the rem
devious of Richard S. Briscoes COM
pany, Sd Battalion. 1st Legion of
Militia, during the War of 1812-1815,
and this company no doubt was
among the troops engaged at Blad-
ensburg on August "a, 1914, who
marched up the hill and then
marched down again and beat it
for home, sweet home.
Tradition tells us that, when Gen.
Braddock encamped on Observatory
Hill an epidemic of illness caused the
death of many of his men, and they
were buried here on the side of the
hill. AS a matter of fact, the remains
OF soldiers have been unearthed here,
as we'll as military buttons and other
small equipment, and at one time
could be seen on this hill the ruins
of an old fort.
THE Island is what we now call
South Washington, and the North
ern Liberties" was large territory
which possibly extended from G. to

street west. The section is particu-
larly famous for the Northern Lib

Cured June l, 1857, and arose from
the attempt of the Know Nothing
party to prevent the participation of
naturalized voters in the election at

Quakers Take
To Deva Dia
IT is interesting To

IL Is interesting to note that
Philadelphia, which takes its
music seriously and is particularly
Jealous of its symphony orchestra,
went Oriental a few days ago.
The reason was the appearance of
Deva Dja and her Bali and Java
nese dancers at the Academy OF
Music. The group appeared two
nights in place of the orchestra.
Philadelphia wanted more. but the
transcontinental schedule, which
includes the appearance of the
dancers in Tacoma Dec. 4, required
the troupe to move on. The same
situation was experienced in New
York where hundreds were turned
away and the company was OBJ
liged to refuse contract for sew
eral additional performances.
The dancers come here as part
of the golden anniversary series OF
the Ladies Musical club.
