1ee, Fielding Lewis and of Washington

Lee, Fielding Lewis and of Washington himself.
 At the date of the writing of this dla- ry, in 1767, Washington was living on his estate of Mount Vernon, having re- signed his commission in the British army on his return after Braddock's defeat in the north. In 1759 he had been married to Mrs. Martha Curtis, widow of Daniel Parke Custis, and for six years the pair had lived tranquilly on the banks of the Potomac. Wash ington passing his time in superintend- ing the tobacco raising of his planta- tion and It's shipment to England, from which country he obtained his semi annual supplies.
 Though it was ten years before the revolutionary war, Washington's let ters at this time were full of hints of the growing dislike to Englands domi- nation of the American colonies. Though busy with his farm and over- looking every expenditure, he was also in touch with the political feeling of the day-a fact which is evidenced by his published letters, but not shown at all in the prosaic little dingy diary, which has been resurrected after many long years of rest among packs of unnoticed papers

UNION VETERANS UNION.
The Address of the Retiring Depart
 ment Commander.

ment Commander.
 Following is the address of ex-De- partment Commander Hurd delivered at the fifth annual encampment of the Union Veterans union of the depart ment of Connecticut and Rhode Island, held in Bridgeport, October 15;
 "The swift wings of time have borne us through another year, and again we stand face to face in the annual en- component of this department of Union Veterans, in the endeavor to further our mutual interests as eX-soldiers and sailors of the late war, and seeking for those things that are good for the or der. We meet in fraternity, charity and loyalty, and extend each to the other a comrades greeting. Many are the changes which time has wrought among us in the year just closing. Some of our comrades have crossed the silent river, and are encamped on the shores of the endless beyond, among them being our late deputy command CT, General Jacob Hoefer of Meriden a comrade loved by us all. To some among us here to-day the splash of the | boatman's oar is near, and the call of lllc Du6le WILL SOOll SOuilN liiS e'esSiiibiJ on the eternal camping ground. To- day we stand on a little stretch of time and grasp the hands of surviving com rades. Let us enjoy the present, and in this day of our encampment, so far removed from the bloody scenes of '61 and '65, let naught but harmony pre- vail among us. Every step in our de- Alterations should be in the interest of our comrades, and for the good of our order, and in this we shall be greatly assisted by that noble band, the Wo- mems Veteran Relief union, if we but invite their aid.
 During the dark days, when wewere at the front, many of these girls of '61 and '65 assisted us in ways that only l loved hearts could devise The tender i hands that contributed so Loyalty to our comfort and courage then, are knock 1 ing at the door of our order to-day. 1 seeking to render the same aid they did when we were boys in blue, when we l wrote them love lines by the light of a ] candle stuck in the hollow end of a i bayonet. It is reasonable to say that the Union Veteran union in this depart ment was never on more secure basis than 1t stands tO-day. There IS Hdililo- ny and good fellowship within it's bor- i ders This loyal and faithful order is ! gaining friends in every section of the | country. It's pension roll is roll of honor, and it's members are worthy of 1 the name they bear. Its requisites are l honorable and specific service. and a good moral character. There is noth- { ing objectionable to citizens or soldiers l in the Union Veteran union as an or ' der.
 ''One year ago was elected your de- partment commander without seeking the office. To-day I have, through the reports of my adjutant and quarter 1 master general, rendered an account of my stewardship. My staff have been courteous, faithful and diligent, and the comrades of the department have received our endeavors and advice as royal soldiers. thank you one and all for the marked respect you have shown me. May God bless you, and | keep you always in fraternity, charity and loyalty"

ONE PERFECT WOMAN.

At a. recent prayer gathering, at which a prominent banker was pre- sent, a Imaginable incident took place. The minister, turning to the gentlemen present, asked Dear brethren, did any of you ever hear of perfect man?" The divine paused a few moments then repeated the question, and, receiving no answer, turned to the females present and asked: Dear sisters, did any of you ever hear of a perfect woman?" He repeated the question a second time, when tall, man lean, patient female arose and looked the minister straight in the face. For a moment he was in- credulous, but, recovering his sang froid he asked: Did you ever hear of a perfect woman, sister," He did not wait long for the answer: "I did, but only one It was my husbands first wife. ."-London Figaro.

A Yale Mans Difficult Task Set for
 Him by an Emperor
 Young Wing, a Chinese by birth, now a naturalized American resident of Hartford, Conn, has recently been or dered by the emperor of China to dis cuss with the Yayen the practicability of establishing a national banking sys- tenn similar to that of the United States. Such a system, if honestly and intelligently carried out, could be made to relieve China of a great part of her present financial burdens and put her currency upon a better footing.
 No difficulty would be found in talk ing up several hundred million taels of bonds, to form the basis of a banking circulation, but it Is not certain that the money which the government would so obtain would be wisely used.

PUNcTURED BY A BULLHEAD.


 William Wartenburg and William Hess of Hinsdale are indefatigable fishermen and are renowned in their neighhorhood, not only for the size of the stories that they can tell, but for the strings of fish they bring home with them from their expeditions. Yesterday morning Hess and Warten- burg took their wheels and with rods and lines. rode to the gulf" which is an enlargement of Brush Creek, about three miles north of Hinsdale. After casting for pickerel and bass for some time without success, Wartenburg sug- gested that they dig worms and try to catch a string of bullheads The bait was soon forthcoming, and the two young men patiently sat on a log hour after hour, until nearly sundown, catching 8 fish now and then. When it was time to go home they counted their spells and discovered that they had captured thirteen bullheads. Warten- burg, who has a grain of superstition in his nature, proposed that one of the fish be thrown away, or that they stay to catch another. Hess was too matter of fact to consent to throw away any of their finny prey, and as it was too late to do any more fishing, Hess tied the string of bullheads inside the frame of his bike and started for home, close ly followed by Wartenburg. Going down 8 hill one of the bullheads slipped off the string. immediately in Warten- burg's path. As his wheel passed over it one Of the horns pierced the tire. Wartenburg fell off his wheel and sprained his ankle.-Chicago Times Herald.

 Up in Prescott the other day 8 rough looking sort Of individual was brought before Pc ice Judge Ling, charged with having raised disturbance in place of evil resort and ill repute. The man said it had been so, so that all that re- mained was to fix the penalty. Ling. who is a graduate of the Territorial Normal school at Tempa and who has been film damned so much as to have become both wary and wise, sized the man up carefully and noted the tiattened condition of the trousers pockets; then he adjudged that the peace of the city had been damaged to the extent of Sl0, which he sized up as the extreme limit of the culprit's capital.
