Rumors are flying about the marriage
plans Of Princess Elizabeth of the House
OF Windsor, but here are two good bets
that there is nothing definite under way
right now, and that she herself will have
the principal say when the time does
come.
The pretty princess is in her 18th year
members of the British royal family
become of age at 18-and Is becoming
more of full-blown woman with each
passing day.
When she does marry 1t will be union

old stuff about fixed" marriage to
bolster international relations or en-
hance the prestige of the crown.
Might Marry American.
She might even marry an American
If she meets one and they fall in love.
At any rate it seems certain that her
mother, who has been so careful to pro-
vide natural, normal private life, will
never stand for any trunped-up match.
OF course, Elizabeth is not entirely
free. There are certain elements of
"eligibility.' AS matter of fact, she is
not likely ever to come in contact with a
young man who is not eligible.

ously in a recent conversation that the
best way of perpetuating the Anglo
American partnership would be a mar

take place close to the Blodgett Hotel
site, on the west side of Seventh street,
midway between and F streets, was
the opening of the first public telegraph
Office in the United States, on April /,
1845. The building in which the Office
was located is described as having been
an ordinary two-story house with an
outside stairway leading to the second
story, where the telegraph Office was
located. The front room faced Seventh
street, and here was the operating room,
and the other rooms were used for the
main batteries and other accessories.
First Telegraph Office
But the opening of this telegraph
Office by Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse was
only the realization of dream of a
great man who at last had achieved the
goal he sought and had so long and
diligently worked for.
Morse was primarily an artist of dis
tinction, and turned inventor after he
had concluded-at least for the time
being-to abandon the brush and palette,
field equally as hard in which to
achieve success However, he had be-
fore him the example of Robert Fulton,
inventor of the steamboat, who was also
an artist, but who abandoned art for
science, resulting in the production of
successful steam navigation.
u. S. Appropriated $4,000
A statement that always appealed to
Morse was that electricity could be made
to pass instantaneously through any
known length of wire, and that its pres
ence could be observed at any part of
the line by breaking the circuit.
So intensely interested did he become
that he not only worked out roughly
plan for employing electromagnetism in
telegraphy, but also completed his tele-
graph code during the same trip. 1t
was not until 1885, however, that he was
able to exhibit an instrument that was
found to work WELL

Meets Old Families.
The probabilities are that Elizabeth
eventually will choose some one she has
met or will meet at the royal lodge In
Windsor, great park which the family
calls their very own home.
The Queen has made 1t point for
the Princess to meet many young men
at such honey affairs as teas. and small
dances, picnics, amateur theatricals and
the like. These have been mostly mem
bers of the royal household and sons OF
the Queens Scottish friends invited down
for week ends. In trips to Scotland, too,
Elizabeth has met many sons of virile
old Scottish families, some of them older
than the Windsor family itself.
Royal lineage Is no requirement. The
Queen herself was a commoner, a men,
Der of the Bowes-Lyon family, which Is
of vastly longer lineage than the Wind
sors.
One of Elizabeth's closest boy friends
is ruled out of the running because
he is a first cousin. He is George, Wis
count Lascelles, eldest son of Mary, the
Princess Royal.
He and Elizabeth are pals. He is of
quiet manner and good musician. They
have been together lot. Used to play
cricket in little private garden off
Hyde Park when they were kids together
and Elizabeth's parents were merely the
Duke and Duchess of York. George Is
now 81. But there is nothing there ex-
cept cousinly interest. At any rate
there has been too much royal intermar-
riage in the past, and the present rules
are dead set against it.
Elizabeth has met and danced with
many young sons of the Queens ladies'
in-waiting and the Kings equerries

BY July, 1887, this instrument was per-
fected and later exhibited in New York
and Philadelphia, and subsequently DEM
onstrated in the rooms of the House
Committee on Commerce. In 1888 the
question was taken up by the Govern
ment, and the House passed resolution
requesting the Secretary of the Treasury
to report on the advisability of estab-
fishing Government telegraph system.
Five years later, on March 8, 1s43, Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for testing
Morse's telegraph.
Morse was made superintendent OF the
system, at salary of $4,000 a year,
under the first appropriation. and his
four assistants, Leonard D. Gale, j. c.
Fisher, Alfred Vail and Ezra Cornell,
were each given an annual salary of
$1,000. a s4ats
500 Chestnut Poles
At first the line-which, when finally
completed, extended from Washington to
Baltimore-was laid underground in a
deep trench made with specially in
finished, and most of the appropriation
of $4,000 had been expended, it was
found that this idea would not work
on account of the great escape of current
caused by bad insulation, and poles had
to be substituted and wires strung for
the entire distance.
These poles were obtained by con-
tract signed by Prof. Morse and Abner
Cloud Shoemaker, and called for the
delivery of 500 straight and round chest
nut posts, with the bark on each post to
be not less than eight inches in diameter
at the butt and five or six inches in
diameter at the top. Nearly all were to
be 30 feet in length. They were un-,
doubtedly cut in the Shoemaker tract
which now forms a part of Rock Greek
Park.
The stringing of the overhead wires
began on April l., 1874, and finally, on
May "a, was flashed over the wire the

be made profitable, the offer was not
accepted.
:. But Amos Kendall, who knew a good
thing when he saw it, soon organized
the Magnetic Electric Telegraph Co. and
became its first president. He, no doubt,
had more to do with securing the appro-
priation for the experimental telegraph
than one might not at first suspect. He
was one of Washington's early journal
lists, coming from Kentucky when Jack
son became President in 1929, and after
becoming Postmaster General in "Old
Hickory's" second administration and
serving until 1887, he published from,
1841 to 1874 biweekly paper called
Kendalls Expositor.
In 1854 he subdivided into 2-acre lots
the property we now know as Kendall
Green, which he called Kendallville
Upon these tracts he erected several
houses running east and west with the
property. In one Mr.. Kendall himself
lived, his son-in-law, William Stickney,
lived in another, while the others were

celebrated message. what hath God
wrought" the words of which were
chosen by Miss Annie G. Ellsworth, who
was the daughter ofsthe Commissioner
Of Patents. friend of Prof. Morse, and
the one who had brought the inventor
the joyful news that the appropriation
had been granted, just before midnight
on March 8, 1s43, and only a few
minutes before the closing of the Twenty
seventh Congress.
Morse had given up all hope Of the
bill going through at that session. and
he felt so grateful for the welcome news
that he promised to let Miss Ellsworth
dictate the first message, which she so
cleverly did.
Offered to u. S. for 100000
AS is well known, the Washington
station was first located in the Capitol,
and 1t was this station which was soon
afterward removed to Seventh street
between and F streets.
Secretary Joseph Henry of the Smith
sonian Institution suggested stringing
the wires on poles, and as matter
of fact, Prof. Henry, in his invention
Of the electromagnet, laid the rounda-.
ton for Morse's invention of the tele-
graph, and his discovery did, in a way,
much that Morse accomplished. How
ever, like DR.. Samuel p. Langley, who, for
his discoveries, sought no financial re-
ward, he upon one occasion said to
Prof. Trowbridge, at Cambridge: "If I
had patented that arrangement of mag
net and battery, I should have reaped
great pecuniary reward"
Morse offered to sell his invention to
the Government, at one time, for $780,
600, but because the Postmaster General
did not think the telegraph could ever

Generous With Wealth

Mr.. Kendall was charitable with his
wealth, later gave one of the houses as
a home for the newly incorporated Co
lumba Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind. Indeed, he did more than this.
He took a friend to house in which
poor waits were being kept by man
processing zeal in charitable work, and
who had gathered together all deaf-mute
and blind children of the District for
the purpose of educating them, he said.
He did not keep his promises, and 1t was
due to the horrible stories of the suf-
fering of these children that led the
tender hearted Kendall to investigate
their condition.
Finding the door locked, he broke In,
only to find conditions even worse, If
possible, than reports had depicted them.
He restored the majority of the children
to their parents, and the five for whom
homes could not be found he placed
in a little frame house which formed a
part of his estate.
Home of Newspaper
1t was he who brought Edward M.
Gallaudet of Hartford, Conn, here, and
it was he who had the school incor-
porated.
Kendalrs handsome donation toward
building Calvery Baptist Church is only
another of his generous gifts which will
be remembered for years to come.
AS stated before, there are a number
of historic places in the vicinity of Sew
enth and E streets, including among
them the site of the home of w. w.
Seaton, on the south side of E street
between Seventh and Eighth streets.

satisfactory solution to the dispute.
There are many unfavorable
working conditions in Dept. I'll,
which have aggravated the cur
rent dispute. Management has re-
fused to give the men a wash-up
period, although they are on one
of the most unhealthy jobs in the
plant. The unstable pay rate, the
antagonisr1 of supervision, the con-
gested cafeteria conditions, all con-
tributed to the stoppage.
The Shop Committee requested
management to permit the men to
report to work, without loss of
their seniority. Management re-
fused to guarantee it would be
protected. The employees are ready,
willing and eager to resume their
war work. It is hoped that man
agement will review its decision,
in light of all the facts, and permit
full resumption of war production
