Washington Correspondence,
The recent death Of Father Nicholas
Dominic Young born 1895 has given 10 the
world an aged mans recollections of Gen.
Washington. His great grandfather an
English Judge, became a Catholic was de-
posed, and bought a large tract Of land now
The better part Of the capitol. The church
of St. Dominic, the FIRST built in Washington
stood on the spot once occupied by the great
barn of the ex judge Of the olden time. His
domain inherited by Notely Young, his son
was selected by Washington. as the site Of
the capitol. Nicholas Young q son, and
"a her Of the dead priest married one Of the
Fenwicks of the Lord Baltimore colony, and
owned a p~rincely estate in Maryland, just
across the river from Mt. Vernon, where
Father Young spent his boyhood days.
Aged and intirm lie cared little for the
things of The present, but had vivid recol-
lections of the early days and loved 10 call
before him the faces of those who gamboled
oh the green lawn. the Potomac lying be-
tween his home and the mansion OF Wash

glass they saw the general pacing his We
randall pleasant mornings with hi. hands be-
hind his back seemingly in a deep. reverie.
The old priest took great delight in telling
O. seeing Gen. Washington at . military
parade. He said:
"When I was eight years old I remember
there was to b. 4 parade. It was announced
that General Washington would be there,
but, bless you that wasn't'half the induce

10 considering the subject ofthe purchase
of fire apparatus for the city Of Yankton 1t
will be we'll for those interested to look
squarely upon the fact that their property
is now absolutely without protection. 1t
is liable to be swept out of existence any
day or any night. We have no sympathy
with the short sighted policy which, to avert
the expenditure of ten dollars, would jeo-
pardize the safety of a thousand dollars.
There is no profit in it-no economy In it.
This suggested purchase of protection
against fire is a simple business proposition
aud should not be looked upon as q scheme
to extort money with rendering a recon-
pense. All who are called upon to aid the
project are interested in its accomplish
ment. The mar who IS not interested will
not be asked to contribute his mite, There
is no doubt that we need something with
which to protect our property against the
conflagrations which will come in spite of
the best precautions of the most careful
amongst US. There is in the case nothing !
to arrive at except the procurement of the
best means for the least money. AS bus
mess men we are bound to do this, and!.s|
business men we eau rely upon ourselves
to exercise our natural functions. There is
no o for argument upon the question:
whether or not proper care of our posses.
ia a good thing. We know 1t lie.
the only thing really left for US
70 do is to provide adequate security at the
east expense.
