SUNDAY at Camp Brady.

MR.. EDITOR: During the week the camp had
extended. A bright day. genial atmosphere.
with the promise of entertainment by talented
speakers, attracted large crowd to the beauti-
full temple of the grove. The rostrum of the
amphitheater was decorated with a profusion
of flowers and ferns. DR.. Street presided with
his usually pleasing address and enthusiastic
style. The band discoursed good music. Rabbi
Solomon Shindler held the audience in close at
tention for over an hour. as he ably and elo-
quently explained in clear. convincing manner
the principles of Nationalism. As the audience
was dismissed at the noon hour. one could but
observe the quiet and decorum that prev allied,
with entire absence of discourtesy and rudeness.
that often annoys sensitive and refined person
in promiscuous assemblages. Groups gathered
here and there to partake quietly of luncheon.
while the camper repaired to tent. cottage and
hotel for more elaborate refreshments. At 80
p. N. musical strains by the Great Western Band
reassembed the people that were on the grounds.
After several numbers by the band. the audience
listened with great interest to Lyman c. Howe.
as he eloquently responded to questions pro-
pounded by ersons in the audience.
The olowing invocation and peroration were
taken by Ravenna stenographer. as also the
excellent address of Mr.. Howe. which is too
lengthy for the columns of the PRESS.
"Oh Thou Infinite Presence whose mysteries
ever invite US. and glories ever cover US, whose
truths inspire and whose love whispers through
every shadow. May this hour of devotion tc
TRUTH to justice and the eternal laws of light and
life. as revealed in nature. be SO directed as to
carry comfort and strength, and if possible
knowledge to these listening sould. We ask nc
favor that we do not deserve, we plead for ne
protection from any friend. we ask for no favor.
itism. but simply an awakening of our being tt
nearer and deeper realization of the power o
truth and glory of Eternal Life. May we b.
blessed with such inspiration.
Let communion dear and tender
Upon loved ones gone before,
Light this world with secret splendor,
From that pure immortal shore.'

II has now been ninety-three years
since the death of George Washington.
During that long period many brilliant
regulations have shone upon us for
awhile, only TO fade away and lapse into
oblivion. His name retains all its
interest for us, and probably more peo-
pie have been particularly occupied Of
late with his career, its relics and its
records, than ever before.
At the great sale of Washington me-
mentos, held In Philadelphia, the prices
paid even for trifing objects once pos
sessed by the great man and his family
were extraordinary.
A legal document relating to the OK
ecution Of his will, which his hand had
never touched, brought fifty dollars, and
an autograph letter eighty-five.
A list of his slaves, written and signed
by his own hand, brought four hundred
and fifty dollars. Two of his memo
randum books closely written brought
eight hundred dollars. His family Bible
was sold for seven hundred and sixty
dollars, and books from his library, con-
tanning his signature or that OF his wife,
commanded prices varying from sixty
dollars to one hundred and fifty dollars
each.
Pieces of piano music which had been
played by Miss Custis brought consid-
cradle sums, and dinner invitation was
sold for eighteen dollars.
The sale attracted universal attention,
and every one lamented that the whole
collection had not been bought by Con-
gress and deposited at Mount Vernon,
