G. w. as a Rural Fireman.

A Washington letter says that Charles
Levi Woodbury. says that George Wash
ington's last words were: ''Never trust
negro with gun" That was the air
of an adaptation from ''Ncver take a
horseshoe from the door," but perhaps
it is a correct quotation. When l was
down in Alexandra the other day, how
ever, | found no one who recognized it,
but | heard some other things about
George Washington which were quite as
interesting. / learned for the first time
that he was great fireman. lie was one
of the founders Of the Friendship Fire
Company, which still EXISTS, and when he
first went to the Continental Congress in
PHILADELPHIA he bought a machine for
the company for $400. He used to run
to fires with iSwhenever he happened to
be in town, like the philosophical cit
zen that he was. 1t is remembered that
few months before his death he was
riding through Alexandria, when the
fre-bclls rang. He rode to the fire and
was surprised to find that the machine
was poorly manned and very fcebly
worked Riding up to number of we'll
dressed men standing on the curb stone,
he said 'Gentlemen, | am surprised to
see YOU standing here; it is your duty to
lead in these matters" With that he got
off his horse and himself mounted the
machine. You may be sure it was well
worked from that time on.

JUSTICE IN TURKEY,
A Cass that Minister Cox Heard About
i'm Court.

Taking along our dragoman the other
day, l made call at the Court House
in Pera. 1t is in the centre of the
thronging population on the Grand Rue.
When l entered the court had not con-
vened, but the Chief Judge, Hilmi
Etfendi, was upon the bench reading
papers. He is Turk, and had great
Judicial and police experience in the in
terror before he came here. He is noted
for his shrewd knowledge of the kind
OF characters who come before him-a
verltable Judge Bowling of the Tombs
of twenty years ago. He speaks French,
but not English. We passed the time
in talking about modes and codes of
criminal practice in various countries.
| We agreed that it was cruel fate to be
imprisoned simply because one hap
pened to be an observer of a crime In
fact we agreed that it was one of the
ridiculous eccentricities of human order
thus to punish the innocent that So
ciety might have security.
One thing led to another, until our
talk took the direction of the WITNESSES
of the elder day of the old Kadis of the
Orient, who substituted their own sense
of equity as the rule of right. l related
story of q Hungarian Justice, doubt
ess of Oriental origin In the interior
of that country Turkish agent was
sent to buy cavalry horses to recruit for
the then probable war with Bulgaria
and Greece. While there the agent de-
sired that the proprietor of a village
with whom he was contracting should
show him a specimen of the Hungarian
mode of proceeding.
''Wait few moments" said the pro
prietor, who was also magistrate
land will see who is in the. town
Jail"
Calling his constable he was informed
by that officer that goose thief had
been apprehended during the night and
was in confinement. He sent for the
criminal
"Are there any witnesses 2" asked
the Judge.
Two" was the answer; ''the man
who owned the goose and man who
saw the theft"
After hearing the evidence the Judge,
in his fierce and harsh Hungarian Fin
nish-Tartaric) tongue, called up the cul-
prit and said: "You have been found
guilty, and l fine you ten kreutzers and
ten days Imprisonment for stealing the
goose"
Thereupon he summoned the owner
of the bird and said: 81 fine you ten
kreutzers and ten days imprisonment
for allowing your goose to be stolenw
To the witness he said: "SirrahI I
fine you ten kreutzers aud ten days
Imprisonment for not minding your own
businessl"
Hilma Effendi then remarked that
almost as odd a case recently came be-
fore one of the courts of Stamboul. A
creditor came to the Judge to have a
note sued. 1t was for 1900 piasters
and due three years hence. The Judge
ordered the suit, but condemned the
creditor to confinement for three
years, For" said his Honor, chow do
I know where you will be three years
hence, so as to pay you over your pias-
tiers, unless I hold you ~
This was an improvement on the i'm
prisonment of witnesses in criminal
cases.

What They Do At Newpo. t.

The next day Mr.. King made worse
mistake. He remembered that at high
noon everybody went down to the first
beach, charming sheltered place at the
bottom of the bay, where the rollers
tumble in finely from the south, to
battle or see others battle. The beach
used to be lined with carriages at that
hour, and the surf, for a quarter of a
mile, presented the appearance of line
of plcturesQuely clad skirmishers going
out to battle with the surf To-day
there were not half a dozen carriages
and omnibuses altogether and the bath
ers were few-nursery maids, fragments
of day excursion, and some of the fair
convcntionists. Newport was not there.
Mr.. King had led his party into another
social blunder. 1t has ceased to be
fashionable to battle at Newport.
Strangers and servants may Go but
the cottagers have Withdrawn their sup
port from the ocean. Salt water may be
carried to the house and used without
loss of caste, but bathing in the surf is
vulgar. gentleman may go down and
take dip alOne-lt had better be at an
early hour-and the ladies of the house
may be heard to apologize for his eccen-
! tricity, as if his fondness for the water
were abnormal and quite out of expert
ence. And the observer is Obliged to
admit that promiscuous bathing is vul-
gar, as it is plain enough to be seen
when it becomes questionable. 1t is
charitable to think also that the Gotta
gers have made it questionable because
it is vulgar, and not because it is a
cheap and refreshing pleasure accessible
to everybody.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Kings ideas of New
port were upset. ''It's little off color
to walk much on the cliffs; you lose
caste if you battle in the surf. What
can you do?"
"Oh," explained Miss Lamont, "you
can make calls; go to teas aud receptions
and dinners; belong to the Casino, but
not appear there much and you must
drive on the Ocean road, and look as
! English as you can. Didn't you notice
that Redeem has an establishment on
the avenue2 Well, the London girls
wear what he tells them to wear-much

and so it has become possible for a
Nee Yorker to become pretty En- fish

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, March 6.-Lord Hartington's recep-
ton last night was very cordial and sympa-
thetic, but the only parts of the speech that he
delivered with any apparent pleasure was
when he declared he should not take an OBJ
structive attitude towards Mr.. Gladstone, an d
where he replied with the greatest sarcasm to
Churchill's appeals to him to join the conserva-
tives. Accordingly, his speech encourages the
belief that no dangerous opposition will be
offered to Gladstone by his own party, but that
Harrington will yield, as he has done before,
when the tug comes. He has exasperated the
tories, who have tried and are still trying to
lash him into a direct rupture with Gladstone.
The following passage of the Standards edi-
stone has taken no account of him. Gladstone
Is right. Lord Harrington has filled q great
position by accident. He has lost it, or gone far
towards losing it, by the defects Of his tempera-
ment He fancies his irresolutiOn, dispassiOn-
ateness and lncapacity to follow his own judy
ment to be q demonstration of love of fair play.
His speech will greatly inspire the prime min
lister, the latters more devoted followers and
the Parnell1tes, and will dishearten all those
who long TOR q clear, bold assertion of the fun
damental principles from men who are pre-
pared to do and dare all in their vindicatiOn.'
