that he was on his way To put an end To
the war; SO true was his prescience that
when the news reached London the
English prime minister "walked wildly
up and down the room, throwing his
arms about aud saying, % God it is
all over it is all over it is all overt "
1t was indeed all over, in one sense;
but in another, and greater, it was just
begun.
A study OF this campaign, or rather
this brilliant coup detat. by WASHING
TON, which took his army Of 10000 men
from the near vicinity Of New York
City to Virginia, a march of 800 miles,
and secured the sword OF the British
general in exactly two months, lets Us
into the depths of the character of
WASHINGTON.
The feat is not exceeded in the annals
Of modern warfare IL is only equaled
perhaps, by the swoop of NAPOLEON from
the shores of the English channel to
Ulm, where he captured the Austrian
army, 81 years later.
This bold. audacious, but most subtle
and most wise move reveals side of
WAsHINGToN's character but slightly
dealt with by historian or panygerist.
1t shows him a man of brilliant and keen
perception, of boldness TO the extreme
verge Of wisdom, Of acute conception OF
the enormous value of accepting the
offering of crises, of great executive
talent, Of superb control of elements
easily turned into discord aud failure
in word, man of action-possessed OF
all the instincts of the most worldly.
Americans know really but little about
WASHINGTON. His contemporaries knew
but little about him. He had the habit
of reserve that excluded even his con-
stant associates from himself, not from
any motive of superiority, but merely
because he perceived that he and his
thoughts must work, unaided. The
purpose of the march of his army was
known to but himself and RoCHAMBEAU
until Philadelphia was reached.
The popular conception of WASHING
TON reaches no further than his outer
shell. The man beneath is not known
was not known in life. The historic
WASHINGTON is beginning to yield to the
real man strange as it seems to
perceive that the more remote in years
mans life becomes the more intimate
ly we know him.
This great, culuminating incident in
WAsHINGT>tN's military career which
today recalls opens one window into
WAsHINGToNs reality. For that reason
it deserves study, and it repays study.
1t is great among the great events of
history we Americans look back upon,
and sometime it will be regarded as of
the first consequence as key to the
character of a man whose life and mo-
tives We're SO simple we have but just
begun to comprehend them.

Armour and the redAsogue.

Thirty years or moro ago p. ID. Armour
was young man attending an academy
near Syracuse. There was ladies semi
nary near by, and one beautiful moonlight
night Philip slipped away from his dormi-
tory and took pretty seminary girl out
for a long buggy ride.
1t came to the ears of tho dignifled fac
ulty, and sentence of expulsion was en-.
tered up against Il. ID. Armour.
Years passed on. Young Armour came
to Chicago and became the greatest mer-
chant in the world.
One day an old man with pair of white
side whiskers and a professional beatific
smile was ushered into Mr.. Armour's pri-
vato office.
"You remember tho -- academy, Mr..
Armour" his visitor began.
"I should say did. I was expelled
from that institution for taking Susie -
out buggy riding"
"Well, then, perhaps you remember me.

the faculty then, as am now, and / want

and unwarranted by tho facts. BY the
way, Mr.. Armour, the academy is I'm a
financial strait just now and came to
see If you would give Us some assistance. I"
"Well, " replied the millionaire, "if you
protested against my expulsion, all have
TO say is that you have been long time
in letting me know about it,"
But Mr. Armour made out good round
check just the same and sent the old peda-
gogue on his way rejoicing. Chicago

TO ABOLISH COMMISSIONS.
Mr.. Deans Proposition Killed In

Of the journal for Saturday was dis

who were absent that day without per-

smile, when the secretary had finished
the list.
The Convention went into committee
Of the whole on Mr.. Deans proposition
abolishing all commissions, except those
constituted of elective officers. and in
hibiting the power Of creating perma-
nent commissions.
MIR. Dean spoke at some length on
the subject. The Railroad Commission,
for instance. was controlled by railroad
corporations; the Insurance Commission
was run by the insurance companies.
The Commission of Fisheries served with
out salaries. but In thirteen years had
cost the state NS5 2so The Civil Ser

Forestry Commission in ten years,

commissions, had cost ss,s47,s92.
Mr. Dean wished these commissions

power to create responsible public Offices

Mr.. Veeder offered an amendment, in
sorting the words of which a Demo-
crat may be member" in the line abol-
ishing the commissions.
This Is purely party measure" said
he. and We should let the people know
1t. 1t Is partisan, and should show Its
purpose on Its face. and not be under

The amendment was lost.
The Convention then went into Com
mittee OF the Whole on Mr.. O'Brien's
proposed amendment that no person
shall lose or gain a residence by reason
OF being kept In an institution supported
at public expense or by charity.
Mr.. Hoicomb submitted an amendment
that the provisions Of this law should
not affect soldiers who are inmates Of
soldiers homes, or sailors who dwelt
in the Sailors Snug Harbor or like in
situations.

ported the matter favorably without

LIZZIE'S BAD RECORD.
Had 1t Been Konwn Sooner she'd

Hau IL been NOnwn sooner She'd
Have Got a Heavier Sentence.
Lizzie Patterson, the young woman
who was convicted in the Court of Gen.
eral Sessions Of forgery. was sentenced
by Recorder smyth to-day to three
years and six months in Auburn Prison.
The jury had found her guilty. but
recommended her to the mercy of the
Court and when she was called to the
bar for sentence to-day her lawyer
stood by her to speak in her behalf.
The Recorder surprised him and the
prisoner. however. by reading q number
Of letters from the police authorities OF
Baltimore and Washington. as we'll as
reports from the detectives in this city,
to show that Lizzie had been connected
with an organized gang of forgers and
had been arrested in Baltimore. At her
trial she testified that she had never
been arrested and had never been In
Baltimore
"Ir the jury had known what 1 know
now" said the Recorder they would
not have recommended the young
into consideration a tury's recommen.
dalton of that character. and / will
do so In this case
He then sentenced Lizzie as given
above.
The papers which the Recorder had
were handed to him by Detective-Sergt
krouch, and they show that the girl has
been working in forged checks. not only
in connection with her husband. William
d: Patterson, but also with her brother
Abe Berus, alias Alfred Cohen. and an
other man named Silverman. The
detectives discovered where sixteen

payment refused.
