Letters by washin yton. Lafayette and
 Benedict Arnold.

Letters by washin yton, Lafayette and
 Benedict Arnold.
 Three original letters, one by Wash ington. one by Lafayette, and one by Benedict Arnold are attracting much attention here in a downtown show window, says Washington, Penn, correspondent to the lPhila. Press.
 They are the property of Thomas Morgan. who secured them from Gen. eral Morgan, of Mt Vernon, Ohio. The writing of Washington and Arnold is very plain, while that of Lafayette is very difficult to decipher.
 Washington's letter is to Colonel George Morgan at Princeton. It says: Mr.: I received your favor of the 9th inst. by Captain Dodge. It will be convenient for me to see the Delaware chiefs and those who attend them at head quarters tomorrow evening at o'clock. The whole or part may come as will be most agreeable to them and you will be pleased to accompany them.
 T am, your most obedient servant,
 'G. WAS HINGToS."
 The Arnold letter reads as follows: (Bsnedict Arnold to tho Continental Board Of Nar.)
 "A captain and fifty men should be left at Kiskaskiss, on the Mississippi ll0 miles above the Ohio, to secure the pass As 1t is very probable that there may be a Brit ish frigate, or one or two armed sloops at Pensacola, think it will be necessary in telligence, for which purpose an officer should be immediately dispatched to New Orleans to treat with the governor, who I am informed, is inclined to favor the ex- petition. Colonel Morgan, who is well acquainted with the difficulties and route attending the expedition, is the best judge of the time it will necessarily take up, also the quantity of provisions and the best method of procuring it, as well as the boats. have not entered into the min utes of the affair, as I conceive Colonel Morgan, from his intimate acquaintance with the country, &c., more capable of doing.
 q am, sir, your obedient humble ser. want, "B. ARNOLD"
 The letter from Lafayette is as fol- lows:
 Lafayette to Col. worgnn.l
 'PARIs, February the 10.

An Odd Number.

A very curious number is l42, S5I which, multiplied by l, ?, 3, 1, ,, or 6, gives the same figures in the same or der, beginning at different point, but if multiplied by seven gives all hines. Multiplied by one it equals 142, S57, multiplied by two equals 2S5, "A, mul- tiplied by three equals 42S, 57l, multi piled by four equals 571, 42S. multiplied by five equals "A, 2S5. multiplied by six equals 857, l42, multiplied by seven equals 999, 999. Multiply 142, S57 by eight and you have 1,142. S56. Then add the first figure to the last and you have 142, S57, the original aumber, th" figures exactly the same as at tho start.

A Brave New York Girl.

A New York girl has set worthy example to all women. She was to be married and was ready to go the altar when her intended husband came to her intoxicated. She loved the man but refused to risk her happiness with one who wou go to his wedding in such condition. She pointed to the door and commanded him never to again enter her home. It not only re- quired courage but n great deal of common sense to do that. but it was the proper thing for the occasion.

THE CASE ARGUED IN COURT.
Ravenna FIGURING Mill Sues for It's
subsidy-Convicts Denied New
Trials-Court News.

The eases against the city brought by
George X. Beedc. Kahn & Watkins and
Watkins & Considine, proprietors of
saloons with theatrical and concert at
tachments, were heard in Judge Lichten-
berg's court at a special session last even
ing.
The city recently passed an ordinance
requiring saloons having concert halls or
theaters connected with them to pay an
additional license of 81 900 a year. Kahn
q Watkins, proprietors of the Elite theater,
Watkins d Considine, proprietors of the
Peoples theater, and George X. Beede
proprietor OF Beedes Music hall, got out
restraining orders before Judge Lichten-
berg to prevent the city from collecting
this license and to prevent the police from
abating these places of amusement or in
any manner interfering with the business
of plaintiffs
temporary restraining orders were
granted and the cases came up on the
hearing on these orders at last nights ses-
sion of court. The plaintiffs were repre-
sented by Wiley, Scott &c Hale, while City
Attorney Lyon appeared in behalf of the
city.
Mr.. Lyon asked that the court pass upon
=
ing into the other issues involved in the
case, but Judge Lichtenberg said he would
not pass upon the case then, but desired
to look up the authorities.
Mr.. Lyon demurred to complaint on the
grounds that court of equity has no jur-
isdiction in cases when adequate relief can
be had at law. He claimed that as the
parties have ample legal remedies in the
80 naA; aha hn yha Cd
before going into court of equity, and the
proper remedy of the compliments would
be action at law against the city.
Mr.. Wiley read the city ordinance pro-
viding for this special license, which was
recently increased from 500 to 81 900, and
read numerous authorities to uphold the
doctrine that municipal corporation can
not impose an unjust and burdensome
license upon any business, and unless the
power 70 tax has been specially given it
does not and cannot exist
He argued that person is not required
TO wait until the damages are done before
seeking the protection of the courts, but
that he has his equitable remedy and
could seek to prevent an irreparable injury
from being done. He insisted that plant
ifs had a right to be heard III court, and
denied the right of municipal corporations
to impose any tax without having been
specially empowered to do SO.
The case occupied about two hours time
and was then submitted to the court, but
the decision is withheld for the present.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
something About the Pamphlet n,
Manufacturer


Yesterday Secretary ]. w. Dodge. of the
.haniper OF Commerce, was busy drawing
up re solution III regard to tea tester. to
be acted upon by the Chamber of Com
merce tomorrow. At present tea i'm
ported here direct has to be sent to San
Francisco for test. Since considerable tea
mas been brought into Puget sound ports.
ana there is prospect of stifl larger i'm
portations, there is movement among
the merchants TO induce the government
10 appoint tea tester here. Secretary
Dodge has been gathering opinions among
the merchants, and finds them unanimous
III support of the movement.
In speaking yesterday on the pamph-
iet on manufactures just issued, Mr. Dodge
SAID There seems to have been some
misunderstanding as to the aim and scope
OF the work. We have sent out large and
elaborate pamphlets from time to time,
put they are not only expensive to print,
put the postage on them is an item of con-
siderable size. The trustees voted to dis
tribute 10000 month of these pamphlets
on manufactures, and for that reason
among Others we cut the size down and
made it as compact as possible. | had
written great deal more, but We simply
threw II away in order TO pack the most
important information in fifteen small
pages, which could be slipped into a num-
Der six and one-half enyelope.
The table showing our present manu-
features has been compiled with a good
deal of care. We sent circulars to each of
the 10 firms in the city. 10 many no
answer was made, and then had to go in
person to visit the establishment in order
10 get the facts desired This involved a
large amount of labor which makes but
little showing in print. But the table is as
accurate as 1t is possible TO make it.
The part showing the resources and the
possibilities for new manufactures is in no
sense boom literature. In printing the
assays of neighboring gold. silver and
iron mines | have never taken the
highest assays, but always the lower
ones, thus avoiding the risk of
sending out matter which might
possibly be untrustworthy. l am con-
WINGED that there are mines in which the
ore is richer than that of the printed as
says; but it is better in the long run to
err on the side of modertion People
who come here and find we have in no
way overstated our case will be much more
likely to believe the city and state on
firm basis, and so be ready to locate here.
This pamhlet gives merely the most
important facts and necessarily is far from
exhaustive. If the Chamber of Commerce
could spend 81 600 month for advertising
instead of $3.50, il would be time to talk
about more exhaustive literature

The Commissioner of Public Lands and
Buildings in Seattle.

Mr.. John Steen, of Lincoln, Neb., the
state commissioner of public lands and
buildings, is at the Arlington hotel with
his nephew. Mr.. Theodore J. Steen, a hard
ware dealer of Dannebrog, Neb. Mr.. John
Steen is an old soldier. having gone from
Iowa and served under Grant from Fort
Donelson to Vicksburg, and then under
Sherman. In 1869 he went to Nebraska,
which he has since made his home.
II am looking through the Northwest"
said he yesterday, lin order to see what
sort of countrytou have; and although
| am very well located in Nebraska, ST i'll,
!, u, ina can better myself by coming to
Washington, | may decide to come out
here. So far as crops are concerned this is
the worst season Nebraska has had since
her admission as a state. The crop has
not been a total failure, but the dry
weather ruined part of 1t in certain sec
tions of the state, consequently times are
unusually hard y
