His Friends No MOre-But He VIII
Always Have Place In Their
Memory.
In tho death of Mr.. Robert Donaldson,
the Oldest resident Of Alexandria County,
Va, the pleasure.seekers and boatmen of
Washington lose good friend and hos
pitable entertainer. Mr.. Donaldson owned
the picturesque estate overlooking tho Po-
tomac Boat Club landing, about two miles
north of Georgetown, on the opposite side
of the river. He was lifelong resident of
Alexandria County.
His picturesque farm, approached by
rugged path and romantic lovers lane,
has always been a resort for the pleasure
parties on the river and the crystal waters
of tho old well, the products of his dairy
and farm and orchard have been Hospitality
offered to his visitors while his tall, gaunt
form, his silvery hair and kindly face have
long been familiar, and his historic remi-
niscences and statesmanlike dissertations
will be pleasantly remembered.
Mr.. Donaldson often referred with pride
to the fact that his birth occurred within
few days of that of Mr.. w. w. Corcorsn.
He gloried in his independence in politics
and in theory on almost every subject on
his acquaintance with the great men OF the
past, and on his course as consistent Chris
tian.
Up to his last days the old gentleman was
as energetic rs in his youth, and his death
was the result of fall from hay wagon,
which he had loaded and was driving with
out assistance.
The deceased will be buried to-mo rrow at
the family burying-ground on his estate,
which overlooks the river and the city in
the distance.

the Catskills, the owner OF which regarded
the toothpick an Indispensable article after
dinner. Thinking that economy In all things
Is necessary TO accumulate q fortune, he
imagined that tho boarders were possibly not
provided with toothpicks, and called out to his
son at dinner: 'Johnnie pass the toothpick."
The boy produced the called.for article and
proceeded TO make the best possible use OF It
himself, and when he had finished with It
offered II to tho person next TO him. 1t is need
less 70 say the toothpick went no further.
