why a Washington Clerk Went 10 a Far

The following interesting letter was

Alaska, dated May 8: "Of course you will
be not a little surprised to hear from this
far-aWay region, the Ultima Thule of civil
ization. 1 will tell you why L volunteered. In
the first place, l was disguised with myself and
surroundings in Washington. l had allowed my
self to drift into the vortex of society until could
not call an hour my Own-every night some party
or theatre or other foolish way of spending my
time and money. had been dissatisfied for some
time when met you, and determined to embrace
the first opportunity of going off anywhere. Vol
unteers were called for, and among the first.
Having pretty good record, was chosen. [ am
to open eight signal stations in Southeastern
Alaska, with Sitka as my headquarters. 1 expect
to travel all summer. In connection with my
meteorological work 1 am commissioned by Pro-
fessor Spencer Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute,
to prosecute investigations in the archaeology and
ethnology of this portion of Alaska. Have now
my headquarters in the old Russian castle, mag
nificent suit of apartments, and am very comfort
able. Have been on a cruise among the glaciers
and icebergs the far North, and had the pleas
ure of viewing the St Elias range of mountains,
seventeen and eighteen thousand feet high, COW
cred with perpetual snow. Am progressing in the
study of the Indian languages and rapidly acquir-
ing the Chinook dialect, analogous to the pigeon
English of the Celestials. Am enjoying excellent
health and like my work OF course it is little
lonely at times but my multifarious pursuits and
my music keep eonui outside my office. Any old

GEORGE WAsHINGToN,s RATCHET
And other MATTERS Considered by the
Mount Vernon Regents.

The annual council of the Mount Yer
non Ladies Association began yesterday at the
mansion. Most of the ladies in attendance arrived
on Monday evening. Mrs. Laughton, the regent,
was present, and presided over the meeting.
There were present of the Yce-regents Mrs. Sweat,
of Maine; Mrs. Judge Ball, of Virginia; Mrs.
Halsted, of New Jersey; Miss Harper. of Maryland;
Mrs. Yulee, of Florida, and Mrs. Surgeon General
Barnes, of the District of Columbia Atthe session
yesterday the minutes of the last council were read,
and the report of Colonel HollingSworth the super
intendent was submitted. To-day the board of
visitors from the Virginia Legislature will
be received, and it is thought several
more of the vice-regents will be in attendance.
The most important work that has received atten-
ton during the past year has been the restoration
of the library, now the Massachusetts room. Miss
Alice Longfellow the vice regent from that State
has superintendent its restoration to its former ap
pearance. Mrs. Laughton has secured some hand
some antique furniture for the Pennsylvania room.
Miss Harper, the regent of Maryland, has also
placed in the room of that State several pieces of
furniture belonging to an old Maryland family and
willed to Mount Vernon by Miss Sarah \. Collins,
of Baltimore The appearance of the grounds was
never prettier. The garden and greenhouse are
fragrant with roses. The magnolia tree planted by
Washington has gone through severe ordeal,
but is beginning to emerge from the struggle with
the intense cold of the past winter and is looking
well. Its appearance will be greatly improved
when it has entirely lost all the dead leaves and
branches. Colonel HollingswOrth can now show
a relic which he has frequently been asked for.
1t is nothing less than the Ratchet with which
Washington sacrificed the cherry tree. Captain
Albert 1. Fair, of WestmOreland County, Virginia,
the occupant of Washington's birth place, plowed
it up out of field on the place plank-walk
has been laid over the muddy walk up to the man.
sion, and was greatly appreciated during the rain
and mud yesterday. The condition of the roads
leading to the lodges will be one of the subjects
that will receive attention during the council.
The sessions will probably close on Friday.
