The reason why we celebrate the 22d
of February instead of the 18th is this.
Almost 800 years ago Pope Gregory the
thirteenth ordained that ten days should
be added to the tally of all past time
since the birth of Jesus, to make up
some fractional DEFICIENCIES in the CAL
endar, and twenty years after the above
record of the birth of Washington was
made the British government ordered
the Gregorian calendar. or new style as
it was called, to be adopted. The de-
ficiency was at that time eleven days,
and these were added. So. in obedience
to the new calendar, we date the birth
of Washington and celebrate it ON the
22d instead of the 18th of February.
One curious fact is exhibited by these
several records. and that is that there
existed a doubt about whether Wash
ington was born in 1871 or in 1882. The
record in the family Bible, in the hand
writing Of his father, puts it as in
''173l-2," and the record on the stone
slab erected by Mr.. Curtis puts it in
1882.
Think these facts may prove inter-
esting to those of your readers who
were unacquainted with them. About
their authenticity there is no possible
doubt. CHAR LES E. FLANDRAU.

moment the tide turns and disaster

WASHINGTON.

Again are we called q tribute to pay
20 the memory of one who is long passed
al away
From events that his genius has stamped
81 with 1enown,
Which, while mind shall endure. will be stin
handed down,
With a need of devotion, from sire to SON
Him likest the perfect, our own Washington.
His patriot HEARTH was iiberty's star,
And a mind SO transcendent that nothing
could mai
Its symmetrical powers, nor pale the bright
ray,
When oppression in arms had created dis
may;
In the thickest of strife he was stesdfast and
brave,
In the triumphs of war he was sober and
grave;
His mien was majestic in forum and field,
Not to favor nor fear would his principles
yield;
For the freedom of man he undauntedly
Into freedoms rich fabric his virtues he
wrought.
Those virtues exalted. pre-eminently high,
Still glow like a quenchless sun out from the
sky,
Were the halo Of hope through the tempest
that broke.
From the land of the hero, the siave-galling
yoke
oh, happy the people to whom is bequeathed
His sword of defense, which in honor is
sheathed.
Though molested by Islander, unscathed is his
name,
His escntcheon u~ntarnished. immortal his

NOTED PUBLISHER DEAD.

Norman L.. Munro Undergoes an
Operation and Dies From Heart
Failure.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-Norman L.
Munro, the yachtsman and publisher,
died at 6:l5 o'clock tonight at the Hoff-
man house. The cause of death was
heart failure. Mr.. Munro had under
gone an operation for appendicitis, but
it was afterwards found that the patient
was not suffering from the dis
ease and that the operation was
not necessary. Henry, Mr..
Munro's 11-year-old son. who attends a
private school at Dobb's FerIyhad his
vermiform appendix removed by DR..
Able. OIL Sunday last. The boy had
complained of a pain in his right side
Immediately after coasting. he is con-
valescent now, Mr.. Munro complained
of a soreness in the right side early in
the week and suspected that he had ap-
pendieitis. Under ordinary circum-
stances, he would not have given
the matter much thought, but
his symptoms being similar to
those of his son, lead him to believe

disease. Mr.. Munro became interested
in the subject of appendicitis aad de-
cided to Lave the appendix removed.
The patient was put under the influence
OF ether Friday and the operation was
performed. No foreign substance was
found IN the appendix OF the patient or
in that Of his son. There was only a
gangrenOus Inflammation Of the ap-
pendiX. Mr.. Munro recovered from the
effects OF the ether and conversed
with his physicians half an hour after
the operation. He seemed confident
that he would pail through just as his
son had done. During the night and
early morning his condition grew
rapidly worse. At 2 o'clock in the
afternoon DR.. Able said that the end
was looked for any moment. His family
was present when be died. Death was
attributed to heart failure. The de-
ceased was born in Millbrook, Nova
Scotia, fifty-one years ago. He came to
New York when twenty-five years of
age, obtained employment as a clerk
and saved his money. In 1872, with his
brother George, he began the pablica-
ton OF the Family Story Paper. The
business ~prospered, other publications
were issued and larger quarters were
obtained. The brothers dissolved part.
nershIp. and Norman erected a large
publishing house or Vandewater street.
As a yachtSman he was known all over
the world. He has been the owner of
several ~marvelously swift steam yachts,
the most famous Of which was the Nor
wood.

him. He had known poverty, and he
knew how to alleviate its hardships.
He had seen sQualor, and he thought to
remove its most manifest evils by prac-
tically preaching the gospel,of cleanli-
ness. He founded public baths swher+
ever he thought the public would appre-
ciate them. He sought to enlarge tho
domain OF trade and commerce, and by
so doing not only added to his own pos
sessions, but greatly benefited his fell
lows.
Now Mr.. Wiman has fallen from his
high estate. In a day he has removed
from a palatial mansion to a prison cell.
But yesterday his society was c~ourtei
by the nOblest men and women of the
land; today he is the associate of felons.
A few days ago millions were at his bank
and call. Those who. a few days agb,
were shouting his praises are today loud
in their denunciations of his conduct, or
are embittering his days by their cou-
temptuous sneers He has learned by
sad experience that the way OF the
t~ransgressor is hard indeed.
The GLOBE does not complain at the
public condemnation OF wrongdoing.
Indeed. it rejoices at so pronounced a
manifestation Of the h~ealthfulness of
public sentiment. A man high in the
favor of the public who violates couti-
dence n betrayS a trust Is worthy of
the severest condemnation. 1t has been
our fault that we have too readily con-
doned the offenses of the rich and the
influential against morality and decency.
Wealth and social position have been
too often used to shield the guilty. But
there is yet grave doubt as TO the guilt
Of Mr.. Wiman. He is not himself loud
in his proteStationS Of innocence, but
calmly asserts his ability to explain
away circumstances that, in the light of
present knowledge. seem to criminate
him. He is certainly entitled to a hear
ing before he is conference.-the a sus-
pension of public Judgment until all the
facts bearing upon his case shall be
made known.
The Observation-Disclosures of mankind is
too often COMPOUNDED with a love of
Justice. But justice is most admirable
when it is tempered with mercy. The
condemnation of a man before his trial,
as in the case of Mr.. Wiman, is not
justice, but simple uncharity-the worst
form Of injustice. After he shall be
heard before a proper tribunal and duly
condemned, the GLOBE will have no
defense to offer for Mr.. Wiman, but will
insist that he receive the full measure
OF punishment to which his offense mas
subjected him; but it insists that the
many good deeds of the philanthropist
entitle him to a suspension of Judgment
pending a judicial inquiry into his acts.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Fire was discovered
in the dome of the agricultural building
at tbs worlds fair grounds this morning.
The f1anes soon spread to all parts Of
the roof. A special alarm called engines
from Hyde Park ard Woodlawn. An
other alarm called other engines, and a
determined fight against the progress of
destruction was begun. Running up
the outside of the pillars, the flames
gained Roadway in the roof, and sprea d
rapidly towards the dome in the center.
Once having a start in the lofty arch,
S destructio n was a matter of short
order. Driven by a brisk wind, sparks
from the burning dome were carried
towards adjoining buildings, aud for a
short time the firemen had before them
the prospect of All extended conflagra-
ton. The firemen were well distributed,
however. and while several companies
were working vigorously in an attempt
to stay the fire i'm the agricultural build
ing, others were detailed to adjoining
structures, and volumes of water were
directed towards exposed and endan-
geIed parts. An hour after
THE GENERAL ALARM
was sounded, the firemeh had accom-
plished all that was possible, and the
blaze was practically extinguished. Be-
fore the tiremen had succeeded in their
work, however, the building had been
ruined. AS the fire spread through the
dry timbers OF the roof. burning embers
soon began dropping TO the floor, and the
supports, gradually weakened, at last
gave way, carrying with them connected
parts of the roof, the dome pitched i'll
ruins to the floor. Its fall practically
put all end to the firemen's work. But
one theory was advanced at the grounds
regarding the origin of the fire. Every
one agreed that an l%ncendiary was
again responsible for the conflagration.
The repeated attempts to burn the fair
buildings have been ascribed to this
cause, and the conclusion was promptly
reached that today'S ruin could be
safely attributed to the same cause.
Crowds of people iocked to the scene,
and watched the fire for hours, With
the exception of
THE PERISTYI.E FIRE
that of today was the tierceSt the fair
has had since it closed, and spectators
found much to interest them. Near
the dome lwere numerous groups
of statuary looking III the grand basin.
As the flames burned away their sup
ports the gigantic figures tottered and
fell into the fiery pit below. Some of
the groups fell away from the fire and
were dashed to pieces on he frozen
ground. Arms. legs and heads of the
fallen sculpture Uttered the promenade

facts concerning this most important

log cabin in which President Lincoln
was born. They removed the logs to
the Windy city, intending to set them
up in fac-simile of the original cabin,
but they were instead dumped into an
alley. where they are still lying and
rapidly rotting. If Chicago has no more
regard for this relic than seems to be
indicated by the treatment 1t has re-
