THE GOVERNMENT OF LONDON, ENG

of that city as follows:
"There are few cities In America or
Europe worse governed than the me-
tropolis Of the British Empire. The

imperfect and conflicting Jurisdictions,
without any common center. A re-

its public hospitals, It's inadequate, and
often maleficfent water supply, its pois-
onous gas supply, it's nests Of fever and
dens Of vice, its infamous habitations
for the poor, the awful waste of money
that ensues from minute subdivisions
OF independent authority--all these
things show the lack Of reasonable In
stitutions through which the people Of
London might carry on effective gov
ernment. But we are afraid that moth
ing short Of the interference OF the State
will remedy the gigantic evils and re-
move the hideous nuisances which
have grown up with the growth of the
metropolis.

Washington as he
Really Was

From an address by Col. DON Piatt, of Ohio.
No man has suffered more at the
hands of the standard historians than
George Washington. They have passed
him beyond popular understanding
and popular sympathy. He has ceased
to be man and become q god. i was
came, unexpectedly, upon n pamphlet,
written and published by Tom Paine,
attacking George Washington. 1t was
powerful dissection Of the Father of
His Country, by that brutal, coarse,
yet able writer. While rejecting the
summing up of the celebrated infidel,
the mere fact that the great Virginia
Colonel could thus be assailed by CO.
temporary, awakened the suspicion
that we did not know George Washing
ton. / Investigated for myself, aud dis
covered that Washington had been
born Of woman. That he had once
been young, danced with the girls, and
rode after the fox. That he was vain
of his person, proud of his horses, pas
sionate i'm his temper and aristocratic
in his feeling. / learned that he bowed
in dignified manner, with his hands
behind him, To his guests at levees,
and when demonstrated with by Tom
Jefferson, who suggested the hand-sha-
king, he replied, "Shake hands! no
sir /! should catch the itch ~
/ remember being told by my grand
father, old Col. Piatt, Of Boone county,
Kentucky, WHO was wounded at Bran
dywine, that he happened TO be pres
ent when Washington met his army i'm
full retreat, and that the great COM
mander swore terribly.
In word, / learned to love the man
for his weakness, as admired him for
his strength. AS he ceased to be inn
possible and grew to be human, my
heart went out in sympathy for his
struggles and admiration for his sue
cess.
The story of his life, in brief, Is, that
with a powerful foe In his front, and n
narrow, mean, carping jealousy in his
rear; with q Congress who feared him,
and Generals who hated him with re-
serves that could scarcely be drilled
before they were disbanded; without
supplies and almost destitute of sup
port, he held his little army of half
ragged patriots to their work,
until success greeted our eagles, and
the great Republic was an accomplished
fact. Approaching the genius of his
age and the result of the war, he retir-
ed. after brief service of civil life, to
live and die In quiet dignity, upon the
banks of the Potomac, the greatest
man that humanity was ever blessed
with. aIH a Ya

Nothing stirring. Having very
good time.' s4sS
..Now, how on earth these two little
affairs got interchanged is q mystery
to me to this day. Perhaps I did it;
perhaps it was done at the telegraph
office; / don't know but twisted they
certainly were, and somehow both of
them passed the censors. When Mi
traille opened his, he straightway inn
agincd that something had gone to
smash in Washington, and that had
taken neat way of giving him hint,
and he rushed out and bought all the
gold his credit would cover.
HE wrote me by that mail an ac-
count of transactions whose magnitude
almost turned my hair gray and while
he thanked me for my hint, he begged
me to be sure that my information was
correct. / thought at first that he was
crazy, and then / became pretty near
crazy myself, thinking of what might
be the consequences of, the mistake
The first thing did--this was the next
day, you know--was to rush into
Riggs and ask him the latest gold pri-
ces. Ea Tits BIZ ,W z ae0t

wonderful! Still, T. was terribly ner-
vous, for all sorts of rumors were afioat;
and knew that gold could fall as fast
as 1t could rise. The feeling grew on
me until, pretty nearly half demented,
l went into the telegraph Office at Will
lard's, and dashed off,
"'It's all sell, and big one.'
"Well, the old gentleman took that
as he had the other one, and not only
sold out, but went short to the full ex-
tent of his line. 1t was the iuckiest
thing In the world, for, sure enough,
within forty-eight hours things did go
down with q crash. began to feel
superstitious there was something un-
canny about it, and packed my kit
and made fast in New York. did not
attempt any explanation, but / steadily
resisted alIthe old gentleman 'se entreat-
les to go on with 1t any farther. /
even managed to persuade him to close
up his gold account and quit 1t. / had
Lucille to help me in that.
"The net figure was q handsome one,
tell you, and there was very little
trouble about making the other arrange
ments after my bank account was made
up. My honored father-in-law has the
biindest faith in my judgment; but /
told Lucille all about it. What's more,
I don't and won't speculate, and l
won't do business for any firm that
does. It's all clear case of luck"
John threw the stump of his cigar
into the ashes, and I pulled away at
mine, wondering If there was any luck
in my getting that bit of shell in my
ankle.

of the homely girls. Pretty girls,

they mean well. They go to church
every Sunday and are fond of their

meals than new bonnets. They under

devoid of low jealousy, fond of music,

street cars; never fiirt with the boys,
because 1t Is out of their line, and keep
out of the fire. Never have half a doz-
