ton, "Give five important events in the
life of Washington and five in the life of

named in some thirty papers were about
on an equality and were much on this
strain:
Washington was good scholar and did
his lessons neatly and we'll.
He spent his salary travelling about in
foreign countries.
He never told lie.
He cut down cherry tree.
He was a great general.
He married lady named Martha.
He retired from Office long before he
died.
His birthday was on the 22d of Febru-

Lincoln lived in log cabin.
He split rails for pair of pants.
He issued the emancipation proclama-
ton.
He was the third president of the United
States.
He was shot in Philadelphia.
He was killed in a depot by lunatic
named Guiteau.
His first name was Abraham.

Much of the success of these Wednesday
afternoon gatherings has been due to the
unflagging interest and kindly spirit shown
by Mrs. Stevens and by the president of

worms have injured corn in many por-
tons of the state, making it neces sary
in some cases to replant, but the dam

widespread, and the general condi-
ton Of this crop is excellent. Corn
is being worked, and in the southern
portion it is being gone over the sec

Pota toes are in the best possible con-
ditiOn. and some of the early pla nted
are about ready to bloom. Late po-
tatoes are still being planted, though
that crop will be in by the end of this
week. The complaints regarding po-
tato bugs are very few, most report
ers remarking upon their absence
The few fields OF winter wheat in the

Some farmers are selling off stock in
anticipation of a short supply of feed

is no lack of pasture feed. Apples,

from the trees and it is impossible to
estimate how much of the crop will be

LANDING AT JAMAICA

IBUSTERERS
IT MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE
Bears Strong Resemblance TO the
Celebra ted Alabama Affair-Tne
Steamer George Childs Carries the
United States Flag-Government
Knew of Its Intended Departure.

Washington, June 1.-THE steamer
George Childs, carrying a fiEbust4ring
expedition from Key West, has land
ed at Jamaica. Definite inforlna ton
to this effect was received here. 1t
was due in a large measure TO :he
sailing of this expedition that the adj
ministra'tiOn determined on the ener-
getic steps to prevent violation Of
the neutrality law, and caused Pres
ident Cleveland TO issue his proclama-
ton.
The information from Jamaica states
that only a steamer landed but does
not add details as to whether the fill
busterers are still On board Or have
landed at some poiEt in Cuba If the
steamer Childs, as alleged, carried
from the United States supply NUM-
tons Of war ind armed men 70 did
the Cuban rebels, the incident may
raise grave question as 10 the re-
spOnsibility of orr government On
the statement of facts as reported to
our officials, the case bears a strong
resemblance to the celebrated Ala
bama affair which cost the British
government. many millions of dollars
to settle.
In the Childs case, a vessel under
the United States flag is practically an
expedition originated in This country.
1t is said that our government was
duly advised of the intended depart
ure of the Childs expedition, tn 1ugh
whether the advices were in them
selves sufficient to make UP a prirla
facia cause, justifying rhe arrest Of
the parties or the detention of the YES
sci, cannot be learned. BY the terms
of the treaty of Washington, the
United States bound Great Britain
and itself to the doctrine that nation
is bound to use ''due diligence to
prevent the departure OF an armed OK
petition against a friendly nation.
This raises the point whether The
United States can be held to have ex-
ercised due diligence III the matter.
