The lumber market at this city, dull for

Dealers here are looking for a busy

Receipts of lumber from North Carolina

Demand, particularly for lower grades, is

WETJWS CLAIM
:easons Why It Should Have a
. Public Park.
IISTORIC CONSIDERATIONS
n Open Letter to Uncle Sam States
the Case;
AILEY'S TRUE PROPHECY
[ow Georgetown Helped the Government
in the Past>?Seeks a
Small Boon Now.
For several years the people of Georgejwn
have been endeavoring to secure
rom Congress legislation for the estabshment
of a public park west of Rock
reek. Their claims In this regard have
een vigorously set forth from time to
me by delegations, and they have been
eard with sympathy and in the main
rith approbation; but the matter has
een postponed from session to session
ithout action. Georgetown hopes, howver,
to secure the necessary enactment
tiis winter, and plans are now being laid
>r a systematic campaign for the park.
In this connection it is Interesting to
ote that last spripg, before the adjournieot
of Congress, "an open letter to
'ncle Sam" was sent to the Capitol, vlgrously
setting forth the reasons why
reorgetown should be given a park. This
Jtter was too late to have an effect at
rie first session of the present Congress,
ut it is hoped by the Georgetown people
lat it will prove serviceable now in
pening the eyes of legislators to the hisiric
claims of Georgetown for consideraion.
The letter, which was prepared by
Liss Louisa R. Rlttenhouse, wtho has been
ne of the foremost workers in this conection,
purports to be an epistle from
leorgetown itself to the United States,
sking for this boon. The letter follows:
Montrose Park Bill.
Dear Uncle Sam: My people are in gteat
ertui*bation. As this session of your Six

:an the proceedings to see if the "Mon ose"
Park bill has become an act in
tie House also; it passed the first sesons
of the Fifty-eighth, Fifty-ninth and
ixtieth congresses in the Senate. Surely
ou cannot wish the representatives to ream
to the states and leave our children
> the blistering asphalt another summer.
Let us indulge in retrospect, Uncle Sam,
jr it will renew your gratitude to me.
Ince you have' expanded to the orient,
ith cares and perplexities multiplied,
ou forget me and your Infancy; how i
elped you, step by step, all the years
rom the 30th day of March, 1791, when
lose great men Washington and Jeffer>n,
your guardians, then my guests, lsaed
the proclamation declaring your
lat of government was permanently loated
in the District of Columbia, and
hen George Washington stood on my
eautiful heights and pointed to the forBt
site east of picturesque Rock creek,
ealized what a stroke of genius it was,
renton and Philadelphia outwitted, for
hey objected to me when he and Jefferin
wrote to George Rogers Clark In
183: "Georgetown, with its matahless
arroundlngs. should be your home."
Francis Bailey's Prophecy.
You muBt remember the prophecy of the
>yal astronomer from London, Francis
alley, when visiting me in 1796. He
rote: "Georgetown, beautifully situated
n the lordly Potomac, will soon lose Its
ame and be absorbed in that of Washigton."
My first name clings, however.
Before I continue this retrospective
ision, may I offer a suggestion to one
> great? It is this: As soon as you order
ly "Montrose" Park bill before the
louse, please tell "Uncle Joe" and the
sst of "the boys' to name It the Washigton
and Jefferson Park, Georgetown
[eights. It would look fine In the guide
ooks, and no one could find a more apropriate
name for the only park in my
istorlc precincts. I read with enthustsm
recently Ambassador Jusserand's
ddress to the Sons of the Revolution,
he "brilliant Lafayette" was the guest
f John C. Calhound at Monterey, just
cross Lovers' lane from Montrose, in

Historic Recollections.
Oh, yes! I am historic way back. Grow,
ig so old, thoughts revert to the past,
id old times loom up dear and distinct
id that is the reason I am refreshing
our memory, for I'am twenty-flve years
Ider, and you are too engrossed with
le present to think of the past, with
uch a vast domain from ocean to oceanid
there is no one who rejoices more in
our sturdy manhood and greatness than
our old friend, Georgetown, who aided
ou in swaddling clothes. Now, if you
-ould get up a real patriotic stir, Uncle
am. call out the Marine Band to play
our favorite airs in the rotunda and
ave the Eagle to flap his wings and
ave the flag, and you make a speech?
len, when Uncle Joe and "the boys"
ome out to know what all the commoon
is about, tell them old Georgetown
ants a park, is tired of waiting, and
ave them listen attentively to all I have
one, and they will pass my bill in one
linute.
Georgetown's Hospitality.
Please begin at the very beginning in
our speech, relate how my people enterllned
all strangers and housed the mem.
ers of Congress and diplomats, and as
was a city of homes with beautiful
rounds, the cheer and comfort I gave
our early legislators after a weary day
f lawmaking and floundering in the
tud of Pennsylvania avenue (we had to
end relays of horses to extricate the conressional
omnibus in its trips to and
-om the Capitol, over the bridges my
eople built), saved the desertion of the
orest city. And later on, as the federal
ity grew and they had to move away
rom my flne wells and cisterns and were
>o poor to' dig them, I, believing "clean,
ness next to godliness," helped them get
'ater from the Great Falls and paid my
ill quota in three years, when promise

With such distress of mind about my

that it Is a dangerous and deceptive
counterfeit. It is said to be particularly
deceptive by reason of the fact
that It is printed on genuine paper, which

LIEUT. TITUS LEAVES ARMY.
First Man to Scale the Peking Walls
in Boxer Outbreak.
The President has accepted the resignation
of Second Lieut. Calvin P. Titus,
14th United States Infantry, of his commission
as an officer of the army, to
take effect July 15, 1909, and has granted
him leave of absence until that date.
Lieut. Titus was formerly a musician
in Company B. 14th United States Infantry,
and while so serving was the
first man to scale the walls of Peking in
August, 1900, during the Boxer troubles.
He was awarded a medal of honor for
"gallant and daring conduct" on that
occasion and was afterward appointed by
President McKinley a cadet at the United
States Military Academy. He was graduated
in July, 1905, and appointed second
lieutenant in his old regiment, the 14th
Infantry. He is now serving with that
regiment In the Philippines. It is said
at the War Department that there is no
significance In his resignation beyond a
desire to engage in private business.

IHGERSOLL'S WIDOW WINS
MONTANA SUIT DECIDED IN
HEB FAVOB.
Claimed $100,000 for Husband's
Services in the Famous Davis
Will Contest.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided in favor of Mrs. lngersoll
tihe case of Mrs. Eva A. lngersoll, widow
of Robert G. lngersoll, against Joseph
Coram and others, involving a claim of
$100,000 by Mrs. lngersoll on account of
services rendered by her husband in
breaking the will of the late Andrew JDavis,
a Montapa millionaire.
Davis left property both in Montana j
and Massachusetts. lngersoll was employed
by some of the disinherited relatives
of Davis on a written contract to
pay him a fee of $100,000 on the condition
that the will should be defeated, a
case involving the validity of the will was
tried In Montana and the jury disagreed.
A compromise, then, was arranged whereby
the relatives who brought the suit
were given a portion of the estate. They
paid Ingersoll $5,000, but after his death
the widow instituted proceedings to recover
the entire fee, claiming that the
compromise was the result of <her husband's
efforts. The case has been much
In the courts. It was first decided by the
district court for-the second judicial district
of Montana against Mrs. Ingersoll
on the ground that she had no cause ot
action, and the Montana supreme court
affirmed that verdict. On the other hand,
the United States circuit court for Massachusetts
held for Mrs. Ingersoll, but
the finding of that tribunal was reversed
by the circuit court of appeals for the
first circuit on the ground tnat the Montana
adjudication was final, and the decision
rendered today was on a review of
the decision of the court of appeals.
The decision was reversed, but the de- ,
cree of the circuit court was so modified
as to reduce somewhat the amount allowed.
