It will be remembered that the first Capital of the new nation, which came into being as the result of the Revolution, was New York city. There It was on April 10, 17S!t, that the first congress convened and the two houses, after completing their organization by electing John Langdon of New Hampshire as temporary president of the senate and Frederick A. Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania as speaker of the house, met In joint session to count the electoral votes cast In the several states a few weeks before and to proclaim officially the election of George Washington as President and John Adams as Vice President. On July 9, 1700. congress passed an act for establishing a permanent seat of the federal government and this act provided for the selection by the President of "a district of territory," ten miles square, somewhere on the Potomac river, In the region beginning at the mouth of the eastern branch or Anacostia river and extending many miles to the northwest. The President was authorized to appoint three commissioners to "survey, define and limit" the district selected and, prior to December, ISflO, they were required to provide In this district "suitable buildings for the accommodation of congress and of the President, and for the public offices of the government of the United States." For the purpose of defraying the expenses of the purchase of the land and the erection of the buildings, the President was "authorized and requested to accept grants of money." It was further provided that on the first Monday of December, 1700, the seat of government should be removed from New York to Philadelphia, where It was to remain until December, 1800, when It was to be transferred to the new Potomac district In accordance with this act President Washington In 1791 chose one county In Maryland and one In Virginia, with the Potomac river flowing between, for the site of the new National Capital which was to be known as the District of Columbia. At tlrs't this district was ten miles square or one hundred square miles and contained R4.000 ncroes of land, which was ceded to the federal government by the two ftates of Virginia and Maryland. P.ut In 1840 all the land on the western side of the Potomac was ceded back to Virginia and as a result the District of Columbia since that time contains only 64 square miles. As commissioners to "survey, define nnd limit" the district nnd to erect the "suitable buildings," Washington named Oen. Thomas John-Bowho had been his Intimate friend during th Revolution, Dr. David Stuart of Virginia and Daniel Carroll, a member of that Illustrious Maryland family. The commissioners decided that the federal city should be named the "City of Washington" In honor of the first President and the plan of the city was to be made by MaJ. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the young French engineer and architect who had reconstructed the buildings In New York and Philadelphia used by congress. In March, 1792, the commissioners advertised In the newspapers of Philadelphia, Boston and New York that they would give a lot In the city of Washington and $."00 to the person who should "produce to them the most approved plan for a capltol to be erected In the city of Sixteen plans were submitted Washington." In response to these advertisements but all were rejected because they did not meet the requirements. Then Stephen Hallate, a French architect of New York, submitted a plan which met with great fnvor nnd It seemed thnt he was About to be awarded the work. Hut In the meantime William Thornton, a talented Englishman living In New York, who had a powerful friend In the person of Thomas Jefferson, then secretary of state, drew up an elaborate plan for the Capitol and submitted It to Jefferson, who laid It before Washington y THIS WEEK'S PRIZE STORY When planning- for Thanksgiving Tis this thot makes me grateful: I can secure all things at home To make a tasty plateful.

Detroit News. NiTC 'n in 1800 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON S THE time draws near for INTERMOUNTAIN by an automobile In Rochester, N. Y., Senor Jose W. Kelly, once a Mexican labor attache, was rushed to a hospital, where he was disturbed by the that he had lost his ability to speak English. In Spanish he explained that until he was hit by tha automobile he could speak English well, and that he had been graduated from Cornell, where he spoke English In all his classes. Y-- r V: Thomas Jefferson.. with an enthusiastic enuorsemeut. The President thought It admirable and said it combined He "grandeur, simplicity and convenience." wrote to the commissioners, requesting them to udopt Thornton's plan in preference to Hallute's, but charged them to do it "with delicacy." Immediately the commissioners Informed Hallate of the change and upon his examination of Thornton's plan, the Frenchman declared that Thornton had stolen the Idea from his (Ual-late'original designs. The result was an acrimonious dispute between the two men which lasted for several months but In the end the commissioners accepted Thornton's plan and awarded him the first premium. As a sort of consolation prize, they gave Hallate a premium of $2o0 and appointed him as one of the architects of the Capitol with an annual salary of ?2,000. As supervising architect for the Capitol a talented young Irishman named James Hoban, whose plun for the "President's house" had already been accepted, was appointed and It was decided to construct the Capitol of Virginia sandstone. Instead of brick as was first proposed, and the stone was obtained from a quarry on Aqula creek. On September 18, Y'Xi, the cornerstone of the Capitol was laid and from that time on the work of construction was carried on energetically. In the meantime congress was meeting Id Philadelphia and had made an appropriation of $40,923 "for the necessary expense of the removal" of the government to Washington. In June, 1S00, all the records, papers, office furniture, etc.. of the various federal departments were loaded on packet sloops at Philadelphia and despatched for the new city on the banks of the Potomac. The officials and clerks, numbering In all not more than two hundred, went to Washington In lumbering stage coaches, arriving after a long, tiring Journey of nearly a s) week. Mrs. Adams, the wife of the Vice President, has left us a record of her adventures on that trip. She says: "After leaving Baltimore we wandered about for two hours without finding 'a guide or a path. Woods are all you can see from the time you leave Baltimore until you reach the city, which Is so only In name. Here and there Is a small hut, without a glass window, Interspersed among the forests, through which you travel for miles without seeing a human being." After enjoying the luxury of life In New York and Philadelphia most of the government off- looked with dismay upon this "wilderness city set In a mudhole almost equal to the great Serbonlan bog," as one of them described the new Capital. It was In such an environment as this that the Sixth congress began Its second session on November 17, 1800. the first session heid In the new Capital. The north wing of the Capltol, In which the session was held, was In a very Incomplete condition, and both houses were crowded Into narrow, badly arranged quarters. On the opening day President John Adams appeared before a Joint session of the two houses and made the following Impressive icials id-dre- : congratulate the people of the United States on the assembling of congress at the permanent seat of their government; and I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the prospect of a residence not to be changed. Although there Is cause to apprehend that accommodations are not now so complete as might be wished, yet there la great reason to believe that this Inconvenience will cease with the present session, "I and happiness In this city may that piety and virtue, that wisdom and magnanimity, that which adorned constancy and the great character whose name It bears be forever held In veneration Here, and throughout our country, may simple manners, pure morals and true religion flourish forever I "It Is with you, gentlemen, to consider whether the local powers over the District or Columbia, vested by the Constitution In the congress of the United States, shall be Immediately exercised. If, tn your opinion, this Important trust ought now be executed, you cannot fall, while performing It, to take Into view the future probable situation of the territory for the happiness of which you are about to provide. You will consider It as the capital of a great nation, advancing with unexampled rapidity In arts, in commerce, In wealth, and In population; and possessing within Itself those energies and resources which, If not thrown away, or lamentably misdirected, will secure to It a long course of prosperity and This first session of congress In the new Capital was destined to witness some of the most exciting scenes In the history of the nation. Although the Federalists had a small majority In congress, It was evident that the political control of the country which they had had since constitutional government went Into effect was fast slipping away from them. Adams' rigorous enforcement of the alien and sedition laws citizens Into the had driven many foreign-borpuxty. Then, too, rising Democratic-Republicathere were other causes for bitterness which Fedmarked the doom of the once eralists, who had been In control of the government of the new nation continuously for eleven years. The Presidential campaign of 1SO0 was an exciting one with John Adams as the Federalist candidate for running with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney as Vice President Opposed to them on the Democratic-Republicaticket was Thomas Jefferson (then Vice President) for President and Aaron Burr for Vice n t Don Trifle With Coughs Don't let them get a strangle hold.

The Constitution at that time provided for each Presidential elector to vote for two persons without designating which was to be President and which to be Vice President. The person receiving the highest number of votes was to be President nnd the next highest Vice President (By an amendment to the Constitution In 1804, the electors are now required to vote separately for President and Vice President) When the electoral votes were cast it was found that the crafty political manipulation of Aaron Burr had resulted in a tie vote for himself and Jefferson, both being higher than the vote for Adams. So the election was thrown Into the house of representatives. Amid the greatest excitement, the house began to ballot for a President on February 11, 1801. There were KXJ members from 16 states and each state had one vote with the majority of the states necessary for a choice. The house sat with closed doors and balloting went on continuously day II J ' Put Mentholatumln nostrils to open them, rub on chest to V V reduce congestion. Democratic-Republican- and night On the first ballot eight states voted for Jefferson and six for Burr. Two states, Vermont and Maryland, were divided and could not cast a vote. Ballot after ballot was tnken with no change In the result. Finally on February 17 a break came and Jefferson was elected President by the votes of ten states. During the balloting the excitement In the country was Intense. Charges of all kinds flew thick and fast. It was charged by the Democratic-Republicans that the Federalists were voting for Burr to prevent an election until after March 4 when they would usurp the office of President by making Chief Justice Marshall of the Supreme court President, thus establishing a Federalist limited monarchy. On the other hand the Federalists charged Jefferson with every sort of crime, asserted he was an Infidel and spread the report that if he wer elected the Bibles would be taken away from the people. Finally the Federalist leader In the house, James A. Bayard of Delaware, jrot control of enough votes to be able to elect Jefferson or prolong the contest. So he made a deal with Jefferson, receiving from him the assurance that he would support the public credit, maintain the naval system and would not remove from public office certain minor officials on political grounds. In return for this. Bayard arranged for Vermont and Maryland to cast a unanimous vote and give the two necessary votes to Jefferson. Thus he was finally declared elected and his Inauguration took place March 4, 1801, the first President to be Inaugurated In the new Capital of the United States. Nowadays Barber Wet or dry, sir?
