The organization was born of
failure. For many years small mine
operators observed the grandual
disappearance of their oppertuni-

They were ready for revolt and
rebellion" against conditions en-
circling them. That was year ago.
Out of their fearful, almost
hopeless beginnin gthere was en-

AS result of a natural bond,

Joined st. Johns.
Mrs. Madison, as stated, originally
belonged to the Friends, but after
the death of President Madison, and
when she returned to Washington,
she was baptized at st. Johns Epis-
copal Church, at Sixteenth and H
streets, and here she was confirmed
by Bishop Wittingham and became
a communicate of this church.
When she died at her Madison place
home, on July IL, 1849, her funeral
took place from Old st. Johns. Her
last words are said to have been:
There Is nothing In this world
worth caring for" or, as the Ec-
clesiates would put it: II have seen
all the works that are under the
sun, and, behold, all is vanity and
vexation Of spirit"
We are told that the body of Mrs.
Madison was first inferred in a vault
in Richmond from which it was re-
moved when the Civil War was at
its height and reinterred at Mont
pelier. The transfer was made, &C
cording to an account printed few
years ago, in plain coffin borne by
a wagon and escorted by a Confed-
crate colonel who had been in

valded home from the front. Two
colored men were on the drivers
seat Of the wagon and two riding
horses alongside.
After Mrs. Madison passed on, her
Washington home was purchased
and occupied by Admiral Charles
Wilkes, who, in 1898, was appointed
to command an exploring and sur
veying expedition to the South
Seas, authorized as the first of its
kind by Congress in 1886.
This expedition stopped at various
ports in South America and visited
the Paumotu group of the Low
Archipelago, the Samoan Islands
and New South Wales. Among other
places, he visited the Fiji group and
the Hawaiian Islands in 1840, and
in 1841 explored the West Coast of
the United States. Here the findings
are said to have been timely, in view
Of the dispute with Great Britain
over the Oregon Territory.
During the Civil War his enthu-
siaSm in taking from the British
mail packet Trent James M. Mason
and John Slidell, Confederate COM
missioners to Europe, resulted in an
apology by this country to Great
Britain, although the admiral was
officially thanked by Congress.

Famous Hunters.
Famous fox hunters, known to the
Washington section, we're: George
Washington, who hunted two or
three days a week in season before
he became too busy with Govern
ment affairs; the Henrys, Goodies
Durretts. Garths, Pages, Fairfaxes
and Bywaters of Virginia, and the
Jacksons, Ogles, CAROLS, Hardeys
Bentleys, Brookes, Plummers, Aithci-
sons, Stewarts, Griffees, Crawfords
Gosnells, Ridgelys and others OF
Maryland.
The blood of the finest foxhounds
In the United States was planted
first in Maryland and Virginia. II
was given a good start in Montgom-
cry, Baltimore, Howard, Hartford
Frederick and Carroll Counties
north of the Potomac, and Fairfax
Loudoun, Fauquier and Culpeper,
south Of it.
In horse-and-buggy days many
gentlemen farmers bred fine horses
and fast foxhounds.
Washington and his neighbors, the
Fairfaxes, were first here to ride to
the hounds as their ancestors in
England did; they went in style
Hounds and horses were imported
and used to run the gray-the red
not appearing in the Washington
section until about the time they
gave up the sport.
Washington's diary for February
8, 1853, says:

and Mill, and, in returning, met MIR
Alexander, Mr.. Stoddard and Capt

The foxes caught were grays;
