PAY TRIBUTE TO
MAJ. IENFANT
Continued from Page One.
ington doslred in the plans after l'En
fant had drafted and completed them;
but the evidence goes to show that the
great originality in the plan was l'En
f ant's; that where the Ideas in the de
sign were original they were 1'Enfant's.
It was those original ideas that the
board of artists who have designed the
future development of Washington have
token, and do not claim even to have
improved upon.
"All Americans who take pride in the
Capital and its development, therefore,
must feel deep gratitude to l'Enfant for
what he did and must rejoice that now, j
eigmy-six years aner nn ueaui, me ume
has come when we are paying him just
tribute in sight of the city that he de
, signed, in a place full of tender mcra
' ories for the nation, a beautiful estate
dedicated to the patriotic dead, furnish
ing a terminal and a proper terminal
for the design of the future for the city
of 'Washington.
'L'Enfant will now He here appropri
ately in state and in rest, with the grati
tude of the nation that he served so
well."
Senator Root's Speech.
Following President Taft came Sena
tor Root.
"Vevr men can afford to wait a hun
dred years to be remembered," were the
opening remarks of the New Yorker.
"It is not a change in l'E,nfant that
brings us here. It is we who have
changed who are just become able to
appreciate his work. And our tribute
to him should be to continue his work."
Pointing toward the shining city across
the broad river, he said:
"There is 1'Enfant's monument. A
man's work is his monument, known or
whether it be forever forgotten or
brought to light again. And here let
us testify to our faith by our works.
Let us continue the work of l'Enfant
in the enlargement of the Capital with
a thought of his spirit."
Tribute liy Jnwierand.
Then Ambassador Jusserand spoke. He
said:
Speech by the French Amunsnndnr.
"By the million every year, on ships
more and more numerous, loaded to the
brim -with human cargoes, immigrants,
travelers, tourists, men of business, men
of leisure, visit the United States. The
majority of them see this land for the
first time. Without exception they are
struck by its immensity, its resources,
tho number of its inhabitants, n caring
now a hundred million. AH of those who
visit the Federal city are unanimous in
their praise of its beauty and its exact
adaptation to tho needs of a great nation.
"With the mind of a poet, with the
soul of a prophet, perceiving future ages
as clearly as if they were the present,
a man foresaw, over a century ago, what
we now see with our eyes; and that man
is tho one who lies under the monument
which a generous vote of Congress allows
us to dedicate to-day, Maj. Pierre Charles
l'Enfant.
"A Parisian born, the son of a royal
painter at the manufactory of the Gobe
lins, having grown up among artistic
surroundings, l'Enfant embraced at
twenty-three the cause of tho United
States, and could, as Justly as Lafay
ette, say: 'When I heard of American
independence my heart enlisted." He
came in fact, being then a Uentenant of
engineers on ono of those ships belonging
to Beaumarchals' mythical firm of Hbr
talcz & Co., a firm whose cargoes con
sisted in soldiers and ammunition for the
insurgents, and which -was as much a
product of his brain as Figaro himself.
Figaro, It Is said, has had a great In
fluence in this world: Hortalez & Co. had
not a small ono either.
"Sailing on the vessel named after that
great friend of the American cause. Count
Vergennes, the French foreign minister,
l'Enfant crossed the ocean a month be
fore another ship with another ap
propriate 'name reached these shores,
that other ship was called La Vlctolre,
and it boro Lafayette.
Bnllt Fort Washington.
"One of his works was the building of
whet is now called Fort Washington.
Another and of more Import, that for
which be has become famous, the one
owing to -which his remains were trans
ferred here after having lain In slate
under the dome of the Capitol, and his
merits celebrated by Vice President Sher
"" man, the one on account of which he
now enjoys the supreme honor of the
presence at this ceremony of the respect
ed successor of George Washington, Pres-1
klent Taft that one was the planning of
the Federal city.
"What that plan is everybody knows.
Each of the speakers of to-day lives in
streets marked on 1'Enfant's maps, and
so do all tho persons present at' this
meeting who do not inhabit the suburbs,
what might be called Greater Washing
ton. The original of the map is pre
served in the Library of Congress, and
any one can verify the truth of what I
say.
"But more striking than the merits of
this plan, unanimously praised, eo soon
at least as Its adaptation to the great
nation that was to be came to bo under
stood is the date at which l'Enfant con
ceived it.
"Long was the delay, bitter the irony,
merciless were tho Jokes. For half a
century, half the years the city now
counts, no traveler visited the city
named after the founder of the coun
try that did not deride In his notes
that city 'of magnificent distances. that
town of 'streets without houses and
houses without streets.' It seems, says
one in derisive wonder (writing in
1851), as If the author of the plan had
dreamed of a city of 200,000 Inhabi
tants! City Meant for TJs.
"L'Enfant had not dreamed of that.
He had foreseen that, and much more.
The city he planned' was meant not for
the men of his day. but for those of
ours, and when the time shall come
that people will wonder at our own
wonder at the rapid expansion of this
country, wlien the hundred million In
habitants of to-day will look a petty
number. Still 1'Enfant's plan will hold
good, and for our successors, as for us,
he might be able to say: 'For you It
was that I worked.'
"Great, therefore, as is the honor now
bestowed on him. when such men as
President Taft, and with him Senator
Root, have come to render homage to
his memory, when the Commissioners
of the District those of yesterday and
those of to-day acting In accord with
the chief historical and artistic society
of the city, have united their efforts to
have his services duly recognized, great
as are such tributes, it cannot be said
that they are undeserved. Now a mon
ument marks the place where the
wounded soldier of Savannah, the de
signer of tho Cincinnati badge, the
builder of Forts Mifflin and Washing
ton, the author of the plan of the Fed
eral city sleops his last sleep. And It
was in the fitness of things that the
monument for a man born in the man
ufactory of the Gobelins be designed by
a pupil of the Beaux Arts.
"On tliis hill, from which is discovered
one of the finest sights In the world, the
city of beautiful buildings and shady ave
nues that he knew would rise one day,
a great city for a" great nation, l'Enfant
now rests among his peers. He fought
for American independence, he believed
in the future of the country. Well may
he rest in the midst of that army of the
dead, who in their lifetime, at the sad
hour of another great struggle, saved
the Union."
Relative of Benefactor.
Miss Eleanor Carroll Morgan is a great
granddaughter of William Dudley DIgges,
the wealthy Maryland farmer, who, when
MaJ. l'Enfant dropped from the rolls of
th army he had honored, was in dis
tress and poverty in the city he had
founded, offered him asylum. It was to
tho DIgges farm that the old engineer
repaired In the days of his adversity.
Here, on June 14, 1S25, at the age of seventy-one,
he died. On June 14, the anni
versary of the day that the flag he had
fought for and lived for and honored was
first flung to the breeze, the man who
had created Washington passed on, an
object of charity and a pensioner "upon
the bounty of a friend.
In April, 1309, backed with a Congres
sional appropriation of $1,000, the citizens
of Washington disinterred the body of
MaJ. l'Enfant from the grave In the
DIgges farm cemetery, at Chllham
Manor, Prince George County, M& and
conveyed It in a new casket to Arling
ton. Yesterday's ceremony marks the
concluding chapter in the effort of the
nation to properly and adequately do
honor to the memory of its earliest mod
ern city maker.
The design of the new sarcophagus pre
serves the colonial design In all its de
tails. It Is built of Knoxvllle gray stone.
The base stone is eleven feet long by
seven feet six Inches in width a single
block. Carved upon the surface of the
upper face of the sarcophagus Is a sword
of the colonial period In high relief.
About it is entwined a wreath of laurel.
Upon the capstone of the monument Is re
produced 1'Enfant's first map of Wash
ington. So .close to the present plan of the
city is this reproduction that only an ex
pert can dissect the difference.
Designed the Memorial.
The monument, was designed by W. W.
Bosworth and the stone work was done
by M. J. Falvey, of this city.. Mr. Fal
vey also built pedestals for the monu
ments to Baron von Steuben and Gen.
Kosciusko In Lafayette Square.
Owing to the unavoidable absence from
the city ot Cardinal Gibbons, the Invo
cation and benediction were jjronounoea
by Mgr. William T. Russell, pastor of
St. Patrick's Church. Mgr. Russell was
especially selected for this office by the
cardinal.
