Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-02-24

tional capitol is now perhaps the best
known public building in the world.
Approaching the capitol was amazed
at it's majestic grandeur. Ascending
the steps one pauses in contemplation,
for here is where the inaugural cere-
monies are enacted every four years.
Passing through the massive portals
we entered the central rotunda under
the dome. Here may be seen the IA
nous historic paintings such as "The
Discovery of Florida" by Ponce de
Leon, and "The Discovery of the Pa
cific" by Balboa. In Statuary Hall
the great citizens of the various states
are reproduced in sculpture. A very
interesting event as we called it, was
the echo in the Capitol Dome" A
group of us stood at a mark placed
in the center of the marble floor while
another group stood little distance
away. Betty Smullin in the first
group, spoke a few words and it was
heard by the other group as if it
came directly from the floor. The
reason for this was the sound was
reflected from the Capitol Dome. We
wandered on through the halls and
saw the old Supreme Court room. We
were then admitted to the Galleries
of the House Of Representatives and
the Senate. think we all understood
a little more about Congress after we

saw it in session. This was indeed
an education. AS one faces the home
of the highest court in the land eyes
glance upon these words at the top of
the building Equal Justice Under
Law" AS we entered the Court room
we were seated by ushers. It was
very quiet and we could hear nothing
but the voices of the judges with JUS
tice Hughes as Chief Judge. To look
upon the Supreme Court teaches any
young person a lesson that he cannot
get in school. Sometimes one feels
that one doesn't get equal justice in
our small courts but upon visiting the
Supreme Court of the United States
one is assured of equal Justice Under
Law" It was so interesting to me
that I began to take notes when a
man touched me on the shoulder and
said "no notes must be taken in the
Supreme Court ROOM" Miss Edith
turned and smiled and said "don't
mind, that's done every day." AS we
were leaving Miss Edith remarked
this is where Miss Venie Hearne had
an apartment before the new building
was constructed.
Across the street was the Shakes
perian Library one of the most inter-
esting buildings in America. Here we
saw a perfect model of Shakesperian
theatre which we had read so much

1886 Graduate
Gives Account of
Capitol Trip

This is an account of our trip and
tour through our Nations Capitol
where lies rich, historic lore to prove
the beauty of American civilization is
worthwhile and an education to any
high school boy or girl.
We had studied History and Eng
ish in school and could very easily
see how interesting it was to read
something that our forefathers had
accomplished and left to mark their
contribution to the growth of our ma
ton and to American civilization; but
when there was hope of a few of
the high school boys and girls of the
1886 class going to Washington to see
with their own eyes these contribu-
lions to America there was great en-
thusiasm displayed by few to get a
sufficient number interested to plan
a trip.
Among the few who were interested
from the very beginning was none 9TH
er than Miss Edith Stevenson. Her
description of Washington made us
work hard to get trip planned. FL
nally Willis Boole, Clifton Shay, and
/ got twenty juniors and seniors to
say Eyes We'll CO." Each day we
were anxious to get to school to see
who had brought their money and
who had not. Reservations were made
by Miss Stevenson at the George
Washington Inn and the Red Star bus
corporation for transportation.
Finally the day came when all had
paid Miss Edith so we set our date
for the trip, Thursday, April Both to
May End. A Washington trip would
not be complete without Miss Edith
and we all were very much pleased
when we found Mr.. William Sartorius
would also accompany us.
Wednesday came, Mr.. Krabill called
us together to talk to us about dis
cipline on the trip, but think most of
the mischievousness had already been
planned. We left school Wednesday
intending to get good nights rest,
but do not know whether the others
slept or not but I did not, realizing
what an educational treat was ahead.
I was up the next morning at five
o'clock and it wasn't very long before
I was waiting very patiently at the
Parker House for our bus. wasn't
there very long before Willis Boole
Joined me with smile. In minute
Miss Edith and Mr.. Sartorius joined
US with the laughter and gaiety of
a good time ahead. Promptly at $3.50
a Red Star bus parked itself in front
of the Parker House. One of the
happiest groups of young people |
ever saw seated themselves for a jolly
ride and a good time. We had pro-
ceeded short way when we became
acquainted with our bus driver, Carl
Bennett. On the way to Matapeake
Capt. Bill Sartorius and I played var
ious games with matches. The base
ball game seemed to cause quite lot
of curiosity on the part of the boys.

nor Albert C. Richie boat to An
napolis.
Annapolis is first seen through a
lacy screen of overhanging trees etch-
ed against the sky. The naval acad-
envy was a picturesque scene from the
deck of the ferry with airplanes fly
ing to and fro. We were all very
much pleased when we arrived in An
napolis and Mr.. Sartorius said we
would stop and do a little touring
here. Knowing this was Maryland's
capital and the home of the Naval
Academy we were mutually very much
interested. AS one walks through the
beautiful structure of the Academy
which was erected at cost $15, OOO,-
600 one feels the warm appreciation
of protection to American citizens.
We then started to see where the
Father of the American Navy lies.
We soon halted and gazed at hun
dred American soldiers on march. AS
we approached the John Paul Jones
chapel, a cordial welcome was extend
ed us by guide. In the crypt OF this
chapel rests the hallowed remains OF
John Paul Jones in magnificent
tomb, surrounded by beautiful gold
and velvet rope. AS I looked at the
sacred temple where the many boys
attend worship service it made me
feel strongly the love of Divine God.
After this it was time to return
to the bus and start for Washington.
AS we left Annapolis we glanced upon
the Governors Mansion and of course
thought of Governor Nice who pre-
sided at that time. We also saw St.
Johns College and thought of Clayton
Davis, Jr., who was student in that
institution. Some one remarked Have
my fifteen dollars worth already" so
I don't think any one regretted the
time spent at Annapolis. We had
very pleasant ride from Annapolis to
Washington.

ington and on entering the city was
impressed with the fact that it ap-
peared to be a city of white. One
doesn't have to get very far to ap-
preciate and admire Charles. Pierre
I.'Enfant's plans of the city. We ar
rived at the George Washington Inn
which is located on New Jersey Ave-
nue. and Capitol ST., at o'clock.
From here we could get very good
view of Washington. We unloaded
our baggage and ran for the desk to
locate our rooms. My roommates
were Willis Boole, Elwood Pope, Cliff
ton Shay, and Oakley Outten. Willis
and I were very happy that we could
room together. We ate a delicious
dinner and soon discovered we were
staying at a Congressman's Hotel.
Congressman and their wives entered
the dining room as we did.
After dinner we started sightseeing.
A schedule was made out for this.

Perry Belmont Injured
In Fall at Newport

Perry Belmont. who as diplomat,
financier and member of Congress
from New York occupied a notable
position in Capital society for many
years, sustained a knee injury in a
fall at Newport yesterday that will
necessitate an operation, according
to reports today.
Mr.. Belmont, in his ninetieth year,
slipped on the steps OF the post Office
which were wet from rain, and fell
heavily, tearing ngaments in the
knee.
With his wife, now dead, Mr.. Bel
mont occupied the old mansion at
Eighteenth street, New Hampshire
avenue and r street NV, which was
sold year ago to the Order of the
Eastern Star. In 1888 he had sought
to have property zoned for apart
ments, declaring he would rather
see 1t rented to desirable tenants
than see it stand there, a monument
to the depression"
It was in this home that the then
Prince of Wales stayed during his
post war visit to the Capital.
Mr.. Belmont has made his home
in Newport in recent years.

World Farley in Hamlet

ALLENSVILLE, Pa, Aug. 21.-
This tiny hamlet, not even a dot on
most maps, became the center Of
the world today for hundreds of
somberly-garbed. quiet plain peo-
ple"-delegates to the general con-
ference of the Mennonite Church.
Frugal, averse to a display Of
worldly things, they have come from
the United States, Canada, South
America, Africa and India for a
week of sober discussions in circus
like tents. Two thousand are ex-
pected before the conference ends.
Members of the far-fung sect,
whose forefathers migrated from
Germany more than q century ago,
placed peace and industrial strife
near the top of discussion topics.
Their sober mien, their dark-hued
and plainly-cut garments distinguish
them from the towns inhabitants.
Their women folk wear little hood
like caps, resembling abbreviated
-bonnets. Silk stockings are
