TT < j THI FALLS Cl'l Y TRIBUNE , FRIDAY. NOVEHBER 15 , 190 ? From G. J. Crook. A N i ) FKII Taking the line steamer New Port News from Old Point Comfort - fort we had nn.rly 200 miles by water on the Chcsepeitke Day and up the Polemic to Wash ington. It was a grand clay and the trip was so nice we en joyed it very much. Arriving in the city of Washington we went to the National Hotel which is to he the headquarters for the postmasters and their wives , it is one of the finest in the city and has a great hall where we went for the morning sessions and the afternoons are devoted to the social receptions given by the heads of the de. parlments to the postmasters. Wednesday alternoon the Po > t- maater General and his assist ants received in the grand re ception room situated on the tth lloor of the government post- ollice building. The sessio i Thursday morning was very in. tcresting and exciting a well. They took the vole by ballot to decide where Hie nexl nalional convention would be held and Indianapolis won by a large majority. Hopkins the secre- lary of Ihe national association was re-elected for another term. He is very popular with every one but had hard work and strenuous exertion but bears it well as the sobriquet "Happy Hooligan" clings to him. Thurs day afternoon was the closing and crowning event of the meet ing when ail matted in line ac companied by their wives and marched from the National Hotel to the White House and were received by President Roosevelt in the grand recep tion room on the second lloor. They were about 1800 strong and a liner looking body of men would'be hard to lind. We don't know what Teddy said to the others but he told us as he gras ped our hand that he was pleas- to greet UH here. lie had just returned from his hunt and out guard informed us that then were two fresh bear skins as Hit trophies. We visiled the capi- ( ol building and went through il climbing to the top of Ihe donu and viewing1 the city. We visi. ted the Washington monumeul 50f ) feet in height , we went \ \ \ in an elevator but walked dowi the steps as they are very easj of ascent or descent , the monument ment being 00x00 feet at tin base. At the height of 220 fee we found the block of marblt dedicated by our own fair state in 1800 , its motto "Before th < hiw all men are equal. " \V < also visited the connressiona library in Ihe evening which i : said to be the most beautifu building in the world and wi can easily believe it and lookei upon with its thousands of elec trie lights its beauty is almos indescribable. The other govern ment buildings arc not open a night they are all grand am filling for a greal nalion lik ours. We look one whole da ; lor risking Arlinglon Height6 Alexandrialuul Ml. Vernon air called it a day well spent fo our trip would not have been a all complete without this th sad yet superbly grand parl taking electric car at I ) o'cloc in the morning we ran to Ai lington Heights taking guid and wagon we went the round of the beautiful National Oeim tery , commencing at Arlingto House the old Lee mansion. 1 is a grand old place on the rigl or norlh of Ihe grounds , rest tli mortal remains of oflicers man of the in from Revolulionar times clown lo Ihe war wit Spain. We paused with reve ence beside Ihe tomb of our b loved Gen. Stotsenburg. Tlu rrere laying Ihe wife of Ge IIn en by his side us we wei away , and to our left were tl thousands o f private soldie marked with plain stones , tl square marking the unknov the oval the known. The are also the great tnonume and marking the resting pla of InOO unknown from the battlefield - field of Gettysburg and the plot ! of the rough riders whose monument - ' ment was unvieled by our loved1 president. Thence lo Ihe monument ment of Phil Sheridan we could ) wrile pages but must not except to say that one of the Custis and wife lie in a beautiful slope. The heights are hilly and cover- led with a growth of grand tim- jber while Ihe cemetery proper i is comparatively level. We i turned our faces toward Alex- 'andin and soon reached the his toric old town , taking guide we made the rounds of Ihe historic buildings. Thellrst we came to was the mansion of Lord Pair- fax who gave Gen. Washington his start in lile and his commis sion. Tim next place of interest was the old church where Wash- ingion and Lee bolh attended church. The old square pews still exist just as they were with the exception of having been lowered. There is a glass chandelier * delier the present of Gen. Wash ington which is now only light ed with occasion of weddings I and two weeks before it had been lighted on the occasion of the maeriage of Fitxhugh Lee's niece. From there we passed the hotel where Col. Ifllswortli was killed in the civil war. It is not the original buildingthat having been burned , but in the same site. Then the famous old Braddock house where G e n. Braddock made his headquar ters , it contains many relics of great interest. Then on to Ml. Vernon the estate of Gen.Wash ington originally conlainiug 10,000 acres of as line Innd as you care to see , forest , meadow land , river and valley. T h e house situaled on a high emin ence facing Ihe Potomac is slill grand even at this day. The buildings clustered around it in magnificicnt plans. The house is kepi intact , we visited the rooms with reverence knowing thai Ihe father of our great I country lived and died here aiul he willed thai his remains should rest here , as the } ' rest in a plain though beautiful vault at the fool of a hill lacing the broad t and beautiful Potomac. T h e old kitchen contains the articles they used , the old fireplace with the ketlles on Ihe crane and Ibe spil forluning the meat etc. The carpenter shops , gardeners col lage , spinning house and all il took to run that great planta tion. The greenhouses and con servatory had crumbled but have been restored by the school children of Kansas. T h u s another chapter of our trip closes.
