LAYING OF THE CORNEIt STONE
The greatest obstacle Gen Washington
and the Commissioners met with in found
ing the Federal City on tho banks of the
Potomao was tho objection of Davy Burns
to surrendering his broad acres which lay
In the heart of the proposed site for any
Buch purpose Bums had no desire to part
with his possessions consisting of G50 acres
which at one time bad been a part of the
tract called the Widows Mite
4 of the old trees near the cottage that once
gave shelter and shade to tins sturdy
Scotch household Washington waxed
warm and Davy Burns Lecamo more and
more obdurate
At last Burns irritably replied If it
had not been for the widow Custis and her
niggers you would never have been any
thing but a land surveyor and a very poor
one at that
Bums was at last convinced that his
farm would be taken anyway and he had
better make the best bargain possible
The principal proprietors then signed a con
tract which gave the streets without com
pensation they to receive 2j per acre for all
lands used for public buildings every
other lot belonged to the proprietors
Where the Capitol now stands was a
thick wood The work was commenced
plans sought and architects employed
Thornton Hallett Hoban Latrobe aro be
fore us and yet the Capitol rises in digni
ty with all the symmetry and classic graco
that we might expect from tho inspiration
cf one master mind
Work was often held back for lack of
money and with tho petty jealousies of en
gineers and architects it can be imagined
--
Squaro and marched two abreast with Gen
Washington at tho head with musio play
ing drums beating colors flying and spec
tators l ejoicing When tho Capitol Squnre
was reached the Grand Marshal ordered a
halt and directed each fllo In tho procession
to incline two steps one to the right one to
tho left and faco each other which formed
a hollow oblong squaro through which tho
Grand Sword Bearor led tho van followed
by tho Grand Master pro tern on the left
the President of tho United States in tho
center and tho Worshipful Master of Lodgo
No 22 Virginia on tho right
All the other orders that mado up the
procession advanced in tho rovcrso of thoir
order of march from the Presidents Squnre
to the southeast corner of the Capitol and
tho artillery riled off to a designated ground
to display their military manuvers and
discharge thoir cannon
Tho President of tho United States tho
Grand Master pro tempore on tho left the
Worshipful Master of Lodgo No 22 took
their stand to the east of a huge stone and
all tho craft forming a circle westward stood
a short time in solemn order
Washington Laying tue Corner Stone Frosi an Old Print
The Commissioners failed in thoir endeav
ors at negotiation and President Washing
ton was called upon to use his persuasive
arguments They were seated under one
The artillery discharged a volley the
Grand Master delivered to the Commis
sioners a large silver plate with an in
scription thoreon which the Commissioners
ordered to be read and was as follows
This southeast corner stone of the Capi
tol of the United States of America in the
City of Washington was laid on the 18th
day of September 1793 in the 18th year
of American Independence in the flrstyear
of the second term of the Presidency of
George Washington whose virtues in the
civil administration of this country have
been as conspicuous and beneficial as his
military valor and prudence havo been
useful in establishing her liberties and
in the year of Masonry 5793 by the Presi
dent of the United States in concert with
the Grand Lodge of Maryland several
Lodges under its jurisdiction and Lodge

After the reading the artillery dis
charged a volley tho plate was then de
livered to the President who attended by
tho Grand Master pro tem and threo
Washington City
what some of the tribulations were through
which the Capitol passed to completion
We find that it was the same old human
nature that governed man as now just as
inharmonious and hard to manage and
Washington often passed through tho Gar
den of Gethsemane when the foundations
of his beloved Capitol wero being laid
To day tvlien we look upon tho Nations
home that magnificent abode of the God
dess of Liberty we realize that the eyes of
the world are upon it that it is the emblem
of freedom and prosperity to tho people
who seek refuge under the shadow of her
wing that it is the Mecca of the patriot
and the goal of the politician The beauti
ful dome of the Nations Capitol speaks
but with one voice to the worlds oppressed
What a contrast to the day that Washing
ton put all perplexities and hindrances
behind him and stood before the people
to take part in the laying of the corner
stone of this monument to liberty
In reflected glimpses we sec Washington
silver crowned by the years and the service
he had given to his country ready to put
the seal of the Government on the crown
ing glory of the Nation Out of the bogs
and the mire a city was showing tho first
blade of the planting The dawn of that
perfect day of which tho founders of the
Capital so fondly dreamed was breaking
This was only a hundred years ago Did
the Father of his Country have a prophetic
vision of the ear 1000 Does he not
look down upon tho city of his love to a
new Washington the perfected Capital
and its magnificent environments And
can he not say mine eyes have witnessed
the coming glory of our Nation
Great prctiaration had been mado for the
eventof thelayingof thecoruer slone gren
ndierandartillery companies wcremusterod
civic societies and distinguished citizens as
sembled The ceremonies took place on tho
18th of September 1793 It was then a city
without houses and without streets There
wero squares in morasses and obelisks
In trees There were no incmliers of tho
Cabinet no heads of Departments or For
eign Ministers hero The Members of
Congress wero in Philadelphia It was a
fewdays drivo instead of a few hours ride
from Philadelphia to Washington
Tho day dawned fair and cloudless
such as wo have seen on Inauguration
days but we imagine there was a striking
contrast to the ceremonies witnessed every
four years in this latter half of the century
when a President is i naugurated The cer
emonies proper were to bo under the au
spices of tho Masonic Fraternity Lodge
Ko 22 of Alexandria of which Washing
ton was a charter member had tho prece
dence assisted by the Lodges of Maryland
Washington for tho day was Grand Mas

During my long life I have known a
great many remedies for coughs colds
catarrh and diarrhoea I had always sup
posed tlieso affections to Ixs different dis
eases but I have learned from Dr Hart
mans books that tlieso affections aro
the same and are properly called catarrh
As for Dr Hartmans remedy Peruna
I have found it to be the best if not tho
only reliable remedy for these affections
Pcriuialiasfrceiiiiiyslaml by
Tor 1111113 yearn ami I attribute
my good health and my extreme
age to this remedy It exactly
meets all my requirements
I hava come to rely upon it almost en
tirely for the many littlo things for which
I need medicine I believo it to be es
pecially valuable to old people

Most Worshipful Masters descended
to the caisson trench and deposited the
plate and laid it on tho corner stone of the
Capitol of the United States of America
on winch were deposited corn wine and
oil which was according to the ritual and
practice of the Masonic fraternity The
interpretation Is the corn of nourishment
the vine of refreshment and tho oil of
joy
Tho wholo assemblage joined in reveren
tial prayer which was followed by Masonio
chanting honors and a volley from the artil
lery The President and his attendants
ascended from the caisson to the cast of
tho corner stone and there the Grand Master
pro tcm elevated on a triplo rostrum de
livered an oration fitting the occasion At
intervals during tho delivery of the oration
several volleys wero discharged by tho
artillery The ceremony ended in prayer
Wo are told that the whole company re
tired to an extensive booth where an ox of
500 lbs weight had been barbecued to
which the company wero served with an
abundancoof otherrecreation Thofestival
concluded with 15 successivo volleys from
tho artillery and as the sun sank behind
tho Virginia hills tho company dispersed
Undoubtedly it was one of tho most sat
isfactory days in the lifo of Washington
He not only participated in laying the
foundation stone of the Nation but the
corner stone of its Capitol Yet Provi
dence denied him tho crowning felicity of
seeing tho G overnment of thoNation housed
in its own Capital

SHALL THE FLAQ COME DOWN
BI E L HARPKR LARYILL IND
Shall tho flarr como down from tho skies
where they flung it
When Dewey sniled in from tho sea
Shall their banner como down from tho
hills where thoy hung it
On islands which they hud made free
Must the treasures bo lost which they won
from oppression
Havo lonff centuries waited in vain
Shall wo pivo up our rights our lawful
possessions
Tho trophies wo won from tyrannical
Spain
Answer
O mothers who gavo your sons
To light for a Nations glory
Must they lose their reward tho laurels
they won
Aro wo ashamed of their wonderful
story
Cant you see them now where their camp
fires bright
Aro blazing in distant Luzon
Where thoir starry Hag waves in tho silent
night
Where theyro dreaming of battles to
come
Theyre heralds of freedom to islands
they havo won
Theyvo planted the flag to stay
Where palm trees wave in the tropical sun
Where a Nation was born in a day
Let no man say the cause Is unjust
For which theso boys aro contending
They went at our bidding with implicit
trust
And well stand by thorn till tho ending
For triumph thoy must
In a cause that is just
Haul d own their flag No never
On tho sea or the land by our boys well
stand
And keep up tho flag forever
Now tho sun never sets on our glorified
flag
And its floating in beauty across the
wide sea x
Where they flung it with shouts on the wild
mountain crag
On the hills in tho valleys the pride of
the free
Who says haul it down -while muffled
drums beat
Havo their battles all been In vain
Shall our armies surrender our navy
retreat
Were they wrong when they conquered
old Spain
Answer
O soldiers who fought for its glory
O sailors who sank with the Maine
O Nation who cheered the bright story
Of valorous deeds havo they all been in
vain
No answer can come from the wreck of the
Maine
O pitiful slaughter treacherous Spain
But answer comes quickly from fortress
and town
Tho flag that wo follow shall never come
down
It shall float on forever oer islands they
won
Where tho hands of our brave boys have
flung it
Where palm trees wave and the tropical
sun
Gleams bright on the hills where they
hung it
Where its stars aro now blazing in glory
On long waiting isles ot tho sea
Where its telling a wonderful story
To a pcoplo our boys havo mado free
Yes let it float on in its beauty unfurled
On mountains on island and sea
For the light of its stars is the hope of the
world
And sometime all men shall bo free
Then triumph we must
For our cause it is just
Haul down the flag No never
On the sea or tho land
By our flag we will stand
And keep it afloat forevor
Then hurrah for the banner with victory
crowned
Old Glory the flag of the free
The flag that never goes up to come down
On mountain on islandor sea
