IN NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. ga brilliant banque,
was rendered to Hon. Chauncey II. Depew
by the Lotus Club, tonight.
Mr.. Depew made one OF his happiest
speeches. Among other things. he said.
'PTovinCiaiIsm and isolation from the
world produce ma gnificent enthusiasm. The
effort of higher civilization and universal
knowledge is to repress il. Enthusiasm
is like the thunder and the lightning which
clears the atmosphere and gives new vigur
to life.
In l5menting the disappearance OF ITS
manifestations, often wonder II the pas
sion is lost. 1 saw the Seventh Regiment
march down Broadway TO protect the capitol
at the beginning of the civil war. and re-
ceive a popular ovation which set the
heart beating and the blood throbbing so
that in the ecSJacy OF the hour il was diff
ficult to breathe OF live.
Il felt as a boy the Wild aud conta siouS
feeling there was for Henry Clay. We have
al of US been carried along on She waves
of emotion which after the end OF the civu
strife swept against the unmoved and inn
movable figure OF Gen. Grant.
But where are our enthuSiaSmS Of to-
day? We are in the Presidential year. the
wear of all others for idols Il ud idol worship;
the year when the politician becomes a
statesman and the statesman becomes en-
dowed in the popular Imagination with
supreme qualities. and yet the American
people are calmly aualyzing instead OF
frcsCOing: they are doubling instead Of ac-
ceptiug without question as prophet. 81 ge,

CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY.
George Washington Got Boi>trrous
and L. behind Rnrs


George Washington Got Boi>tcrous
and L. Behind Bars
Yesterday was George Washington sbirth-
day and last night he was arrested for
being drunk and disorderly. An explanation
OF this may be in order.
The George Washington whose birthday
was celebrated yesterday was the Father
OF his Country and resided at Mount Yer
non. The George Washington who was
arrested last night was not the father or
his country and resided in the central
section OF Bloodfield.
So far as the police could ascertain here
is a very slight connection between the
two gentlemen. One was a surveyor and
did odd jobs, while one is a Nrmtewasher
and also does odd jobs.
The George Washington who was pmched
last night does not diSClaim relationship
to the surveyor, aud the George Washing
ton who was moi pincbed last night haS not
been communicated with on the subject
The police of the Fourth precinct are
somewhat confused over the situation, es-
pecialy rs the George Washington who was
arrested claims 10 have been celebrati ting
his own birthday.
He makes the claim Of misia ken identity
sEd yet The police of the Fourth precinct
refused to release him on TINS plea, which
seems to indicate that the police Of the
Fourth precinct believe that the two q Gorge
washingtons are the same George Wash
ington.
One of the George Washingtons is said
to have done up several foreigners, and The
other George Washington is known TO have
done up several policemen, which seems
also to strengthen The connection between
the two George WashiHgtoBs.

IN BOSTON.

Boston, Feb. 22--The features OF the
celebration of Washington S Birthdayiu this
city was the banquet OF the Single Tax
League this evening. Many prominent men
were present.
William Garrison made the principal
speech of the evening. He said in part.
1T is my privilege and pleasure to wei
come you TO this reunion, to rejoice in the
progress Of our advancing cause and to
take counsel for future action. The an
niversary Of the Father OF His Country is
well chosen for the purpose.
"Of all the celebrations that are taking
place today there can be none more in
accordance with the nobIest maxims for
selr-gOvernment which Washington has
left or none that aims more unseIfishIy 10
carry forward the work which he and his
associates inaugurated.
If he were permitted to revisit the land
that gratefully holds him in memory. L
fancy his emotions would be mixed, and
his dreams find little counterpart in the
actual condition OF the republic. He would
be puzzled 10 understand how, in a single
century old world conditions OF poverty
and scanty employment could have evolved
from The virgin forest and illiInita bic regions
OF fertility which met his eye.
The place of the father Of his country
is secure. but the unfortunate children, who
find their avenues OF daily work closed by
privileges. and amid excessive wealth, suffer
the hardest conditions OF poverty, think the
reason inserutable. We. who call our
selves single takers, believe that we dis
cern the reason.
We have an uAdying faith that the
ideal republic is no 'glittering generality
but an attainabIe possibility. Ours is a
simple and Just demand. We ask that
what is palpabiy wrong in law shall be
made right upon the clearest demonstra-
ton.
We point to the central wrong when
we indicate evil taxation, whereby power
is given 10 the few to profit by the IN
jury of the many; 10 the unequaled burdens
OF legal exaction, the interference with
the natural distribution of wealth. and
above ali the monopoly of land. We present
a simple remedy for a plain disease

mound Of Indian relics was unearthed
yesterday near Benning's While workmen
We're engaged in grading for the Benning

The find was reported to the police
| and put on exhibition at police headquarters
last night. The excavator who turned up
the antiques was Dick Hawkins, colored,
and be delivered them TO Foreman f S.
Rowe, who viii make them gift to the
Smithsonian Institute.
The pile of pottery and fltnts which was
heaped on the table OF Inspector Holm
berger last night attracted vast deal
of curious attention from all callers at
headquarters during the evening.
Mr.. Rowe has supervision OF the opera
tions on the new race course. The track
property runs down TO the Anacost ia
River. and part of it is subject to inunda-
tion at high tide. 1t is thickly over
grown with flags, ruShes aud grass.
WHERE THE FIND WAS MADE.
This growth is dry add dead and now
forms a jungle. AT this time of the year
the river seldom washes over it. Scoops
have been taking the earth from this part
OF the property and hanling il TO other
ground for purposes OF grading.
Hawkins, just after lunol- time yesterday
picked up the reins. clicked TO his team
and drove the steel scoop tewa rd this marsh
land. Wheeling the horses round he stuck
the scoop into the earth. the team pulled
hard. ana the earth gave way in one great
furrow.
The scoop struck something unusual. The
driver thought at first al was mass of rock
that tie had run into. Strange objects
came to the surface. Hawkins stopped. He
picked up one of the ouriosities. He bad

some were shattered into fragments.
1t was then suggested that an Indian
burial mound had been found, and picks

Stories were told or the finding OF skulls,
but these could mol be verified.
ONCE A RIVER BED.
one OF the strange features Of the find
is the place in which it was made. This
soil is alluvial. In the days of the
aborigines the river flowed over that part
OF the country. Ships used to saii there.
Many relics of the Anacosria Indians
have been found in the surrounding hills,
but why large collection OF war and do
mestic utensils should be found where then
was the bed of the river. has not been ex
plained. The suggestion that they were
washed out of the hills and lodged where
found during some great flood, has been
advanced. but how they all came down in
a batch and lodged together is the knot OF
