WESTINGHOUSE LAST LETTER

ing the anniversary of the birth of
Washington, we reproduce the fol-
lowing from an exchange in regard
to the last letter written by the
father of our country, which was
received by the guardian of the his
torical cabinet at Augustana Coll
eye through Rev. II. Jacobson of
Waltham, Mass:
"Who should have thought that
General Washington's last letter
should have landed in an out-of the
way corner of Sweden, and that it
now for the first time should have
been brought to public notice. But
such is the case. On the 18th of
December, 1899, the day before his
death Gen. Washington wrote this
letter at his home at Mount Vernon,
Virginia, to certain James Ander-
son, Swede, at Union Farm, Nor
folk, Va. According to memo
randum on the envelope Mr.. An
derson gave the letter, on April q,
1900, to a Swedish sailor named
John Schale. Mr.. Schale gave the
letter as an interesting relic to his
sweetheart, Miss Eva Charlotte
Wallin, in Gallared, Hallands Ian,
Sweden, a daughter of "Kontrakt,
sprosten" s. Wallin. No marriage
occurred, however, as Mr.. Schale
deserted his sweetheart for another.
The letter, however, together with
some other presents remained in
Miss Wallin's possession till her
death in 1889, when she presented
the whole to her niece, Mrs, Char
lette Kyulenstjerna, nee Bagge, in
the same passionate. The latter re-
garded the letter as curiosity, but
does not appear to have realized its
value, as she allowed it to remain
unknown until her death in 1887,
A couple of years before her death.
she presented her collection of old
lotters and papers to her youngest
daughter, Miss Anna Regina Kuy- /
lenstjerna. The latter had in mind
last summer to send the letter to
some museum in Sweden, and COM
municated this intention to her
niece, Mrs. Carlson, wife of pastor
c. A. Carlson in Gallarod, Sweden.
Ought not this letter to
be returned to America? A more
interesting autograph may perhaps
not be found there"
Continuing the Journal says
"The price asked for the letter was
higher than our institution could
afford to pay. What has since be-
come of it the present writer does
not know. The letter reads as fol-
lows:

Mr.. John Cheatham, who was 10
have the ferry boat here sometime ago,
was in town on Saturday last. Mr..
Cheatham has had rough time of il
since the LIST of September with his
boat, the time he left Floyd. After
getting the boat as far as Trinity river
be had to wait nearly month on the
Inspector, which took him until about
the middle of October, and after get
ting into the Mississippi river and
about twenty miles below Vicksburg
the boat stuck on a bar, where she is
to-day, and cannot be gotten off until
the river rises about two feet. We be-
lieve if Mr.. Cheatham had gotten his
boat here in time that he would have
done good business but as it is now
we are afraid that he can do no good
this late in the season. He ia one Of
those kind though, that never gives
up, and he is determined TO bring the
boat here as soon as it can be released
from its position, aud try ii,
whether it pays or not.

FOR CONGRESSMAN.

Mayor Hamley was somewhat put
out on Wednesday when he learned
that some enemy of his had started a
rumor that he had advised Pompey
Scott to vote the Republican ticket
He started Immediately to work TO in
vestigate the rumor and to fluid out if
possible the person who would stoop
so low as to try to injpre man in
such a manner, but the more be inves-
tigated the more he became convinced
that il was done by some unscrupulous
person to try and injure him In town,
where he is held in such high esteem.
If the person could haye been caught
up with who started the lie, it would
not have been good for him, for Mr..
Hamley had his dander up, and it
would have taken q John l.. to have
stood the punching the fellow would
surely have received. Mr.. Hamley
may have been a sound money man Gas
a great many of our citizens were) but
like true Democrats, they supported
Bryan and free silver. Mayor Hamley
cannot be injured in any such manner
in Providence, where he has done so
much for the advancement of our town.
