There are few Christmas trees, for the
English have not taken kindly To the
German idea, but that does not mean that
people do not enjoy themselves quite as
well and get just as many pretty pres
ents. AT Christmas celebration IN
Merrie England you may see an earl or
duke down on his hands aud knees
making sport for the children, or
countess with her eyes blinded and her
arms outstretched TO catch whoever
comes within reach.
After the holidays are over tho we'd
dings begin. and the hustle and delight of
preparation for this mostimportant cere-
mony is even greater than that for the
holidays, for an English wedding has
somehow new element init. There are
several bridesmaids, nearly all sisters Of
bride or groom, and little brothers who
look wonderfully pretty as ushers. and
there Is the best man, nearly always IN
love with the biggest bridesmaids. Then
there are the grandmothers. dear OLD
sonls who take as much interest in the
whole affair as ii they were to he the
brides themselves There is none Of that
shrinking and almost hateful pretense
Of retirement that our families affect.
Here every one has something to do or
say to enhance the glory and grace Oh

Some few have their gowns sent from

THE NATURE OF THE DOG

1t is matter for regret that some
journals have jumped to the conclu-
sion that because George Andy's dog
was compared to Prof Wilson, the
animal was necessarily a worthless one.
The Financial News voiced this
impression when it said:
George Andy's dog is threatened
with immortality by being compared
to Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee in
the National House of Representatives
1t perhaps confers notoriety on the
dog and gives conspicuousness to the
name of its owner, but, as the dog is
said to be worthless cur. what effect
VII it have on the Hon. VIM L. Viii

That this inference does the dog a
/ grievous wrong is clear from an ex-
haustive article in the West Virgin.
ldiit puOiISnCQ at FdlfUlOUl, ana
written by the editor, who is no doubt
intimately acquainted with the animal.
That journal observes:
George Andy's dog is a good and
true dog. He has done nothing to
merit this unkiud criticism. He
loves George and George loves tie
dog. If Prof. Wilson had been as faith.
full and true to his people as George
Andy is to his dog, or as the dog is
to George Andy, the people of the
district would have much higher
regard for him. The people love even
dog fidelity George Andy's dog has
never been known to kill sheep. Will
son has Stayed them by the thou
sands"
To set at rest all doubts on this
point some Fairmont gentlemen. who
know the dog well, have taken the
trouble to vindicate him fully. in the
j following letter:
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1894-02-17

In response to a general conviction
that nothing short of portrait OF
George Andy's dog would satisfy the
demand, the Chronicle Telegraph has
secured fine picture of the intelli-
gent animal He sat for his portrait
to Mr. Fornan, at Fairmont, and he
seemed to realize the Importance OF
the matter in hand, for he never so
much as winked while the sun was
taking his picture From that pho
tograph the cut accompanying this
article was made, and the friends OF
George Andy s'dog will recognize ii
as an excellent likeness.
HOW THE DOG BECAME FAMOUS.
1t was Disguised Democrat in Prof
Wilson district who first instituted a
comparison between George Andy S
dog and the Hon William l.. Wilson,
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, putting the two on the
same plane of usefulness to the Second
District of West Virginia That this
comparison does great injustice to the
dog. is strenuously averred by those
most intimately acquainted with the
animal.
The Disguised Democrat referred to,
wrote to the Morgantown Post, de-
claring that he was supporter of Prof
Wilson's theories on the Tariff, but
that he and large number of other
Democrats were now opposed to Prof
Wilson because he ought to do some
thing for his district, and fails to do
anything. He went on to say that
Prof Wilson is "a cultured and refir-
ed theorist who draws his salary only, "
and to whom "a navigable river is of
less importance than chance to blow
himself empty in Boston and fill up on
beans" This Directing constituent
Of the distinguished statesman capped
the climax by declaring that Mr.. Will
son 'is of no more use to the district
than George Andy's dog"
THE DOGS OWNER.
When the matter was called to gen.
eral attention by the Chronicle Tel
egraph, the esteemed Times ask
ed, who is George Andy?" The
Chronicle Telegraph replied that
this was not the vital point; that the
comparison was drawn, not between
Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Andy, but be-
tween Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Andy's
dog. However, the New York Sun
thought the identity of the dogs own
er matter of interest, and after in
quiry announced that George Andy,
when he gets his full name, is George
Andrew Fleming. He lives at Fair
mont, town where Flemings are so
numerous that it is necessary to call
them by their given names to distin-
guish them one from another. He
IS relative of the Hon. A. Brooks
Fleming, Ex-Governor of West Vir-
ginia
BY private advices from Fairmont,
we learn that Mr.. George Andrew
Fleming is Republican in politics.

difficult to take any other view of the ac-
ton or the board, as certainly treatment
amounting almost to Insult would not be
accorded a unanimous recommendation OF
the board Of directors. nor is IL reasonable
to think that the directors comprising
some OF our most prominent citizens, many
or whom were present, would submit to
such treatment without vigorous protest
and resentment. The board of trade has
always rec ognized moreover. that its in
fiuence Is due TO the fact that 1t is a rep
resentative body, and therefore owes a
duty to the community and to itself to rep
resent, not misrepresent, the sentiment OF
our people. The citizens of Washington
are Overwhelmingly in favor OF honest gov
eminent, based on business prfnciples-on
a government of merit, not a government
of "spoils." There can be no doubt that
the board of trade, at its next meeting,
will array itself in no uncertain tone on
the side Of Intelligence. morality and good

lief of

Mr.. James II. Bremerman, a Washington
boy, has been elected prosecuting attorney
by the people of Kansas City, Mo-, after n
most exciting contest. Mr.. Bremerman was
on the democratic ticket, and was opposed
by a combination candidate of the republi-
cans and populists. 1t was at first thought
he had been defeated, but the official re-
turns give him plurality of 60 out of a
total vote of 5000. On the straight vote
between republicans and democrats Brcm-
erman carried 81 out of 60 polling places in
the county.
Mr.. Bremermau was formerly a pupil in
the Washington public schools, being
