TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.

The Sale of Palmer's Millinery Stock
Not to Take Place Tomorrow.
Millie L. Bush today filed bill in equity
against Walter A. Johnston and others.
praying that the advertised sale tomorrow
Of the contents of Palmer's millinery store,

ant states that on March 2, 1885, Mary A.
Ashburn, married woman, conveyed the
effects to Thomas M. Fields in trust to
secure the payment of three notes, aggre-
eating 5000. The I'd of last July, the COM
plainant says. she purchased all Of the
goods subject to the incumbrance, and she
claims that Harry F. Palmer, the pos
SCISSOR Of the notes. agreed that they should
be paid at the rate of $50 a month. She
claims she lived up to the agreement until
this month. when she paid Palmer $35. and
later rendered him the other $15. which
was refused. The complainant says fur
Their that one Philip NJ. O'Bryan seeks to
enforce a judgment of $3.50 against
Palmer by selling the effects, but she in
sists that the said Mary A. Ashburn did
not own them as her separate estate, and
that as her husband did not join in the
deed Of trust, 1t and the notes are invalid.
She therefore prays that the deed of trust
be declared not to be a lien or incum-
brance. and that the defendants be en-
Joined from any interference in the matter.
The petition was presented to Judge
Bradley. who granted a temporary re-
straining order. returnable on Monday

Last Hines. of George Washington.

Last Illness of George Warrington.
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The account of the last illness Of George
Washington, written by his private secre-
tary and recently published, leaves no
reason for surprise that the disease, or
rather the treatment. resulted fatally in
the course Of few hours. WASHINGTON
had caught cold by riding in December
rain, and woke at a m. with q chill. The
fires in the house had gone down. and
Washington would not permit any of his
family to rise until the usual time in the
morning. Domestic remedies were then ap-
piled and his overseer bled him to the ex-
tent of half pint. When the doctor arrived
he was bled again. A second physician was
summoned, and the bleeding was repeated.
The case now looked desperate. The two
physicians had no hope, except in one ex-
pedient, and the patient was bled for the
fourth time. Washington felt himself to be
dying and gave his last directions with
1.-THE calmness of a stole" With his excel
lent habits and fine constitution he should
have lived fifteen or twenty years longer,
and his attack would have yielded readily
to modern treatment. History says Wash
ington died of laryngitis, but history is
sometimes more polite than truthful.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Knowing that you are an exponent of
home patronage write to ask If you
will not investigate why it is that the con-
tract for the High School Cadet uniforms
and number of other contracts of a SIM
liar nature are given to out-of-town mer-
chants. understand that although a
Washington merchants bid was lowest
last year the High School contract went
to Baltimore. I further understand that
the Corcoran Cadets are to give fair to
procure new uniforms, and that although
Washington merchants are expected to
contribute and to take advertising space
in their program the company has not yet
decided to allow Washington merchants to
bid on the uniforms.
Surely you can see the injustice Of this?
Washington merchants can successfully
compete with any, and only ask a fair
show and no favor. AS a taxpayer I think
they should have 1t. TAXPAYER

The Intrusive Tulip Tree.
From tho Wilmington Del) News.

From tho Wilmington Oel) News.
The tulip tree appears to be better able
to reproduce itself, and is evidently moro
hardy when young than any other Of our
native trees. Whenever there is a bare or
neglected place in Brandywine Park. this
spe cies of tree Immediately begins to grow.
Within the limits of the park there are two
or three abandoned quarters which have
not been used for years. In these quarterf
there is already a rich and abundalS
growth of young trees, and the tulip a1-
pears to do better than any others. This
is true of every place in this section. Every
abandoned road or bit Of neglected grouqh
soon has these tulips or poplar trees N
abundance.

Second Crop From One Sowing.

remarkable incident is noted at Plain

second crop Of oats from only one sewing.
The first crop Of oats this season was very
short. and the crop seemed to ripen very
unevenly, especially on knobs and high
ground. where drought affected the crop
bsdly. After harvest the oats came up,
or rather branched out from the old roots,
and In two weeks the fields were as geen
as in June, and presented the usual ap-
pearancs.

last Thursday afternoon in company
with a young lady. While driving east
of the schoolhouse the team became
frightened at something and in the
twinkling of an eye the cutter was up

beautiful snow, while the genial doctor,
after taking taking swift ride on his
stomach while holding on to the run

with thud in a snowdrIft Doc. arose
and after splitting out few snowdrifts
and Latin sentences, tragically remark

Patriots Celebrate.

Probably one of the pleasantest little
gatherings ever held in Cooperstown
was on George Washington's birthday,
when Rev. O. d. Purinton and wife en-
tertained the old soldiers and their
wives at their home. Anyone who has
ever been in company of old veterans
knows that no time is lost in the
telling of yarns and war "reminiscences.
and without any desire to reflect on the
veracity of the vets, we have no doubt
that each one We'd with the other
in telling the ''biggest yarn" Well,
this little company of our counsry's de-
tenders was no exception to the general
rule. The company gathered iu Com
rade Purinton's comfortable parlors in
the afternoon and the old boys had a
regular camp fire and good time until
about 6 oclock-every once in a while
casting a pleased expression towards
the dining room, from which issued the
savory smell Of roast turkey, oysters,
tc.,-when the guests were invited to
partake of a six o'clock dinner. and
such a feast! The old soldiers say they
never sat down to a finer dinner in
their lives and full justice was done to
it you may be sure. After supper the
party again adjourned to the parlors
and singing, speeches, etc., entertained
the company until nine or ten O'Clock,
when the little company broke ranks
and started on the homeward march,
having not only celebrated George
Washington's birthday in q fitting man
ner, but also having spent very pleas
ant time with Comrade and Mra<
Purinton.
