that washington has not on only ay many advantages as a summer living place but also that it possesses attraction the temperature Is not ignored by such but they appreciate the fact that not all days are marked by excessive or even uncomfortable summer weather conditions alven this year which thus far has been hot and dry generally speaking as compared with the weather of last year and the year before has been marked by periods of cool days and nights and at times an atmosphere that had a tonic quality such as one Is accustomed to experience in more northern latitudes then there Is the charm of the city in its summer garb the most beautiful to be found in any city in the world ant an that beauty not alone in the adorn ment of one section but in its general entert throughout the entire

several years before that time desultory y services had been held hold in a small building in the settlement bishop satterlee made his sunnier mer home there and he became interested in the mission its first regular ice was held june ig 16 1895 in the cot tage where bishop satterlee and his family lived at that service there was a celebration of the holy communion at which the bishop officiated during the summer services were held in a small building nearby near by but in the fall it was decided to build a church guarding the precious D declaration ecla ration considerable ONSIDE RABLE interest was C considerable aroused the other day by the re port that the president had given a permit to a man who wanted to see with his own eyes the original copy v of f the declaration of independence or jather to see what la is left of that precious and venerated document however the permit must have died a horning for it did not materialize but it if such permit had been issued and bad been presented at the department ot of state it would have enabled its holder to have the first view of the declaration ot of independence that has been had since the spring ol 01 1903 even before 1903 it had een kept in the safe but it was often brought out for admiring citizens to scrutinize and to exclaim over since 1903 the light of day has not fallen on it there had been too much light of day before that in tact fact there had been too much of a good many things too much folding too much much handling and alas too much stealing ot of its immortal langu language aga by a wet press copying operation resorted to in 1820 for 30 years the declaration of inde pen dence hung in the light and the longer it hung there the more feces sary the light became tor for the ink that was left grew paler and paler until it was bard hard to make out any ol 01 the elg big natures except the big black name of john hancoch hancock finally it became becam e evi dent that if anything except the parchment was to be left the docu ment would have to be kept in the dark so it went into re retirement ti rement in the sate safe being brought out only upon epe cial requests in 1903 1 the lat late e john hay ilay then sec ec detary of state appointed a commit fee tee to examine the condition of the declaration and to recommend what should be done to pres preserve erve it the committee found it creased aril bereft of its ink but they were pleased to find no evidence of mold or other die dis integrating agents they recommend cd d that the docu document ment be kept dark and dry and their recommendation has been religiously followed nev alan r helps aliens to get work raw in a strange land laud have S STRANGERS every reason to eel feel that uncle sam Is doing his best to get them
