RESIGNS Els COMMISSION.
The war of the revelation having Terminated
auspiciously, Washington took leave of his Off
GERS and army at New York, and repaired to
Annapolis, Md, where Congress was then in
session. On the 2Jth of december, 1888, he
transmitted letter to that body, apprising them
of his arrival, with tho intention Of resigning
his commission, and desiring to know whether
it would be most agreeable to receive it in writ
ing or at an audience. 1t was Immediately re-
solved that public entertainment be given him
on the Odd, and that he be admitted to audi
ence ON the 23d, at IL o'clock. Accordingly he
attended at TIA time, and, being seated, the
President informed him that Congress WAS pre-
pared to receive his communications, where
upon he rose and spoke as follows:
MIR. PRESIDENT: The great events on which
my resignation depended having at length taken
place, have now the honor of offering my sim
cere congratulations to Congress, and Of pre-
senting myself before them to surrender into

GROVER CLEVELAND'S FUTURE.
He VIII Not BE a Pecuniary Loser i'm Re-
firing fl om the Presidency.


The fact that President Cleveland on March
I. is to become member of the law firm of
Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & Mac Veagh gains a
fresh interest when linked, as it is, with the
private secretary and trusted confidential
friend, is to be President Of the Avenue
G Horse Railroad Company The firm. OF
Bangs. 49,. st! sHte1tson, Tracy & Mcveagh
repre- sent Wldener, Elkins, Kemble, Whitney,
and others who control the Philadelphia Trac-
tion Company, one of the most gigantic corpo-
ratlons of the age. By degrees it is absorbing
the best OF the surface street car traffic in the
country. 1t is known in it's local branches and
at Albany as the Metropolitan Transfer Com
pany. 1t owns the Broadway line, the Avenue
q line, and others in New York City and unless
the courts interfere, it will soon be where it
can dictate to all the surface lines in New
York.
1t is the same combination which, represent
cd by e. II. Yerkes now owns and operates the
street-car service on the North and West Sides
of Chicago
The present action OF President Cleveland lis
not sudden move. In 1884 LIE was invited to
join the firm in the event of his defeat as the
Democratic candidate, and he was then offered q
salary or guarantee of $4,000 year. When his
Presidential term was drawing to g. close this
offer was renewed under the same conditions
and this time Mr.. Cleveland has found it prac-
ticable to accept
In these negotiations Mr.. Whitney, who is
largely interested in the syndicate, has been the
active agent. He it was as he explained q few
days ago. that procured for Lamont the position
of President Of the Avenue line Tnus it wi l
be seer that Mr.. Cleveland will still be in close
relations with his two intimat es at Washin ton
Since the death of Mr.. Manning It is we'll known
that no men were 80 near to the President as
the two mentioned. This intimacy will now he
continued, but will be given a business instead
of political aspect.
The traction company, as has been said, is
one of the mightiest business aggregations of
the time. Its scope is national and It's pecu-
mary future is dazzling Thus the vicis STUDIES
of mo- h0 mad nd o17,iH
cent business opportunities.
Mr.. Whitney's friendship, reaching back as it
does to the time when Cleveland and Lamont
were together at Albany, and deepened by four
years intimacy at Washington, puts in their
way prizes almost as tempting as the honors
they will soon lay down.
AS so many other men who have filled high
public stations have done before them, the
President and his shTewd and fai hful secretary
now quit politics and plunge into the vast bust
ness life that centers in New York City.
Al the next meeting OF the bar association of
this city Mr.. Cleveland will probably be elected
member. He was proposed on Feb. for mem
bership, and his name posted on the ass1-
citation bulletin board. His application is in
dorsed by Wheeler II. Peckham and Charles M.

Doctors Who Advertise.

The right to advertise is as perfect
as the right to practice. A Chicago
physician in connection with another,
chose to give public advertisement of
their Office and of the certificates of
patients who were we'll pleased with
their treatment. They found this, pre-
sumably, useful means of extending
their practice. They did not engage

Washington's Birthday,

By ]. W. STEVENSON.
Think not today that men may die;
For grieving fosters many q sigh.
Remember now, that men are born,
Their God and country to adorn.
And first of these we bring to mind
The one the wise me II tried to find,
Who, following bright Bethlehem's star,
Are led to him from lands afar.
No grander work will e'er be given,
TO man on earth or saint in heaven.
Than that of Christ s-nankind to save
From sin, from deaths eternal grave.
But, thinking of that mighty one,
Do not forget what men have done;
First honor him whom God selects,
The savior Of our nation next.
While other men have led the fray,
To clear their country's foes away,
Twas Washington who first did fight,
10 let in freedom brightest light.
True, Caesar was mighty one,
Napoleon has bright hOnOrS won;
But yet ambition was their aim,
They fought for right less than for fame.
And hence among q nations brave,
With those who fought their homes to save,
We know the one who fought for right
VIII be the greatest in Gods sight.
The Father of our Country" is dead,
But let it pass, as it is said
Rejoice in this that he was born,
TO free his country from her scorn.
Twas duty led him in the fight,
And naught could turn him from the right
A proHered crown he would not take;
For sovereign rule he fought TO break.
And how he did it none can tell
So we'll as they who conquered fell;
The British lion at his feet,
Proud England ranking with defeat.
His payment was a country's love,
And Gods reward in heaven above;
His JOY he land he fought to save,
And he the Dravest of the brave.
My prayer is this-could not be more
That freedom S flag may still wave DER
The land our fathers blood hath bought,
Till the name of Washington's forgot.

Four Old Churches.

Lincoln county, Maine, famous for
Indian relics and other antiquities, has
three churches that were built before
the Revolution, ana one whose doors
were opened at the very dawn OF the
present century. The German Luth-
eran Church at Waldoboro was erected
in 177l, and is still in good state of
preservation. 1t is II queer old wooden
structure, with pews like boxes, and an
elevated pulpit, an1 galleries around
three sides. It's interior finish is
quite elaborate, but implanted. and its
windows are set with odd little panes
OF glass, which admit very doubtful
light It's Bible and other books are
as old as the building, and the sexton,
Miles W. Standish, is a liueal descend
ant OF the Puritan Captain. Waldo
boro was settled by Germans, and up
to the year 1890 services in the old
church were connected IN the German
language. At that time, however, the
congregation had become Angiicized
to such a degree that they preferred
their sermons in bad English. Regu-
lar services were discontinued fifty
years ago, but the society keeps up its
organization, and once year the
whole countryside nocl1s 10 the quaint
old church TO attend the anniversary
services, which prevents it from fall
ing into complete disuse. "Walpole
Church" in Bristol closely resembles
the Waldoboro edifice, and is still in
good condition after III years Of
"a ltnOst continuous tsa In Alma Oaar
Wiscasset, there is church which i:
supposed 10 be about ll5 years old, and
one mile from Newcastle village stands
Catholic church. built OF brick,
which was completed early in the year
1900. 1t splastered with lime burned
from rock brought from ireland, and,
although dingy little church, seems
likely to stand for century yet.

A Senatorial Poker Game.

Years ago Senators Jones, Vest,
Stewart and Cameron were playing u
game OF poker one evening, says the
San Francisco Examiner, and although
the stakes werc not high the company
was good and it ran until long after
midnight A few days afterward Vest
remarked TO Jones: II say. Jones,
wasn't that nice game the other even
ing? Everything went along 80 we'll
and no one ut the game had to watch
the other three. like a gentleman s
game like that, where you don't even
have to cut the cards for square
deal"
Jones, who Is an incorrigible wag.
suddenly conceived the idea OF having
some fun with Vest, so he manufac-
tured a story to fit the occasion.
"I'm glad you think So" he said,
''but Bill Stewart doesn't have that
idea of it,"
WHAT" said Vest, quite seriously.
lido you mean to tell me that Stewart
thinks there was cheating in that
game?"
That's the idea he conveyed to his
