ssI's Zig Cheese Lunch In WASH
Inston Fifty-two Years Ago.

NV ORR, Feb CIV asLingtons birth
day Sss generally observed as q holiday in
the lower part Of the city, the exchanges,
banks and public offices being closed. The
custom house was open only for one hour and
the outgoing domestic mails at the postofice
closed at 10 a m. The weather is cold and
cloudy. The national flags were raised on the

PITTsBrEc, Feb. - -Washington's birth
day was generally observed as holiday here
All business was suspended and the city was
gayly decorated.
The numerous Catholic societies paraded in
the morning with 1900 men in line
The streets were also occupied by ninety
six councils of the Junior Order OF United
American Mechanics, 10000 strong.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, Feb. % -Fifty-two years
ago, the anniversary Of the birthday Of Wash
mgton, there was big time in Washington
over an immense cheese that was cut by
President Andrew jackson Sin honor of the
Washington Globe that the Presidents man.
sion would be thrown open to the people on
that day, and that they would be entertained
by the cheese, two feet thick and weighing
l,400 pounds.
The correspondent OF The Poughkeepsie
Eagle, who in Washington at the time,
wrote Of the scenes in the White House as fol-
lows: 1.-The spectacle at the presidents house
was a strange one. The rooms were not only
crowded 10 overlooking, but the hall, the
doorway, and every vacant place around
were flied People had poured in from Balti-
more ora the railroad cars, from the country
in all sorts of vehicles, and the steamboats,
and stages from Alexandria were so crowded
as to render passages by any of them ex-
tremcly hazardous.
"The company reminded enc Of Noah's ark
AL sorts of animals, clean and mclean.
There was quite a superabundance of the lat
ter, FIR the Iagamutiins Of tine city had got
INTO the garden, thence climbed to the terrace
and thence entered by the windows and into
the room.
''T'he marshal of the city and his deputies
did their best to keep the canaille from enter
ing by the front door, but the boys were
too clever for them, and got in by the win
dows The president looked pale and emaci-
ated. Mr.. Benton paraded himself through
the east room-that room about which he
wrote the famous letter in which there was
not particle of truth.
Il forgot the cheese. Ii was served up in
a saIle-a-inanger. and the whole atmosphere
of every room, and throughout the city, was
filed with the odor. We have met it at every
turn. The halls of the Capitol have been per-
lumed with it, from the members who par
took OF it having carried away great masses
of it in their coat pockets,
'Thc o!Tcais rushed ia great numbers k
secure a share of it, and IN a very short time
every article OF it had been carried off.
Hundreds of loafers crowded into the east
room and made free with everything they
found there"

lie Killed His school.

BoRDENTowN, n. j., Feb. 23.-The Borden.
town female college, after life OF nearly
thirty-five years, exists now only in name.
The realistic pictures of the ways and meth
obs of immoral people which the principal,
DR.. Bowen, depicted to the senior class We'd
neslay, has practically driven every scholar
from the school. Tuesday there were six de-
parturcs. This leaves just two of the board
ers in the school Ono win leave on Monday
and the other as soon as she can commWnicate
with her guardian. Besides these there were
four day scholars who live in Bordentown.
Two of these wiz quit Monday. Three of the
six teachers remain, ana il is safe to say that
by next week al OF the teachers viii have
gone, and there VIII be nobody in the big
building but Dr. Bowea's own family.
