MEN OF His PERIOD.
THREE CONTEMPORARIES OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON.

slight Horse Harry Lee, John Lsngdon
and the Jealous Young Nobleman. Lafay-
stte-rheir Valuable Help to the Amer
ican Cause.
General Henry Lee, the Virginia
ranger (father,of Robert T. Lee), was q
figure in the Revolution whose career is
often confounded with others Of that
name. There was another General Lee,
an English soldier of fortune. who served
the American cause for time only to
betray it. Francis Lightfoot Lee was q
member Of the continental congress and
asigner. Richard Henry Lee was dis
tfpRuished Virginian and one Of the
first senators elected from that state.
Richard Henry often receives the credit
for the immortal line, "First in peace,
first in war and first in the hearts Of
his countrymen. "Light Horse Harry"
used this language on two occasions be-
fore congress, where he served at the
time of Washington death. The phrase
appeared originally in resolution pre-
pared by Lee, and it then read, First
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his fellow citizens. After
ward he was called upon by congress to
deliver eulogy upon Washington and
he again used the famous words, substi-
tuting the term "countrymen" for "fel-
low citizens.
Light Horse Harry" began his mill
tary career at 20 years of age as captain
Of cavalry and served closed to the per-
son Of Washington. His corps was re-
nowned for its splendid equipment and
rigorous discipline, and its leader for
his great GOODNESS and courage. On one
occasion the British surrounded him in
his quarters when he had but ten men
at hand. The enemy numbered about
200, and Lee beat them off, killing and
wounding several. This exploit won q
majors commission and the leadership
Of an independent partisan corps, and
with this command, known as Lees le-
gion, he became a power in the ranks Of
southern loyalists.
In 1879 he surprised the garrison at
Paulus Hook, Pa, and secured the place,
with 160 prisoners, losing but five men
in the attack. For this service congress
awarded gold medal. In 1880 Lee
Joined the forces in the south under
General Greene, and on the retreat Of
Greene in the face of Lord CORVALLIS
Lees legion acted as rear guard. The
British army was headed by the dra-
goons of the notorious Tarleton, and
"Light Horse Harry's" troopers had
many bout with them, and ON one oc-
casion Is Of the dragons bit the dust
before o gallant charge of the legion.
Throughout this southern campaign Lee
proved match for Tarleton and at the
battle Of Guilford, N. c., repeatedly
defeated him and kept up a separate
fight on the flank of the loyalists. When
CORVALLIS retired to the north as re-
suit of this battle, Lee induced Greene
to move south and recover control of
Georgia and the Carolinas. Lees legion
united with the militia of Marion, the
"Swamp Fox" and victorious cam

The 0uin ca Fowl

The Poultry Monthly says: We are
glad to see that the Guinea fowl Is re-
ceiving so much attention at the hands
Of breeders and farmers generally, fol
they have merits of no mean order
merits which are just beginning to be
fully appreciated.
Despite the many years Of domesti-
cation which the Guinea fowl has un-
dergone, it still possesses in a marked
degree, its wild, untamed nature, pre-
ferring to roost in trees to roosting in
an inclosure, and almost invariably
stealing their nest in some secluded
far-away spot, where they shell out
the eggs in great numbers.
Young Guineas are the prettiest, cut
est little things imaginable, reminding
one Of young partridges, which we
often come across in the woods and
openings during the early summer
When quite young, before they change
their dress of soft down for one OF
feathers, they are exceedingly tender
and difficult to raise; but after they
have passed this critical period, they
are just the opposite, and assert their
wild nature by preferring to care for
themselves in a great measure. Corn
meal should never be fed to the young
Guineas during their "babyhood," but
the food should be the same as that
given to young turkeys-such as stale
bread soaked in fresh milk, cottage
cheese (made from thick milk after
the whey has been strained ON, bits of
hard boiled egg, chopped onion, toast,
etc., not forgetting that, when feather
ing up, they require the food little and
often, as much as they will eat at a
feed, and no more.
Guinea fowls are very useful where
there are many enemies to poultry
such as hawks, snakes, rats, ETC., for
they are ever on the alert to detect
danger and give the alarm quickly,
and in such shrill and oft-repeated
.ones, that the enemies generally leave
ere the owner of the fowls can come
1pon the scene with his overloaded
gun and dog. The flesh Of these fowls
Is relished by many, in fact, by all who
ike a gamey flavor and dark meat,
which the Guineas supply, while their
eggs, though small, are exceedingly
'ich, and the numbers they lay fully
make up for any want Of size.

si,verit., losing Ground In Louisiana.

Although Louisiana has been consid-
cred free silver state, there is encour-
aging evidence that sound money senti-
ment is rapidly gaining ground At the
recent Democratic state convention Gov
ernor NJ. J Foster, an outspoken oppo.
nent of frae and unlimited coinage at 16
to 1, was unanimously renominated for
governor. In Difference to his views the
convention refused to indorse free silver
and adjourned without adopting finan-
cial plank. This action Of representa-
tive body Of the controlling political
party shows that the silverites are losing
their hold ON Louisiana. Governor Fos-
ter is certain to be reelected, and his
victory will be an admission that the
people Of Louisiana prefer an advocate
of sound money to believer in so cent
dollars and the silver standard.

Fort after fort fell into their possession,
and in the end, following upon repeated
assaults, Augusta, Ga, became their
prize. at Eutaw springs Lee was again
with Greene and took prominent part
After the war General Lee became a
member Of the continental congress-, and
as q Virginia delegate became an elo-
quent defender of the constitution. In
1875 Washington appointed him COM
mander of the forces sent to suppress

He entered congress in 1899.
The FIRST Official ut the bead Of the
nation when tho United States Union
was formed was John Langdon of New
Hampshire. Hs presided over the senate
before the president and vice president
were qualified, and officially notified
Washington Of his election when the
votes bad bsen counted. LAngdon was a
member of the continental congress, and
owing TO absence on official business
when tho Declaration was signed missed
chance for Immortality which he cor-
tainly merited. His services to the re-
public and to the cause of the patriots
covered the whole period Of strife and
organization. While speaker of the New
Hampshire assembly in 1777 he selected
Stark to lead the forces against Bur-
goyne and supplied tho funds out Of his
own fortune to equip the troops. Lang
don went to the field himself and was
with Stark at Bennington. He also
fought at Saratoga and in Rhode Island.
In 1888 he became governor of New
Hampshire, which then included the
territory now forming the state Of Ver-
mont. He was Jeffersonian in poll
tics, but this did not prevent Hamilton,
the great opponent Of Jefferson, from OK
claiming with reference to Langdon and
bis political affiliations. II see an hon.

States Volunteers from abroad were by
no means novelty, but Washington
was SO impressed with the conduct and

him member of his military family.
The experiences Of this ardent French
republican in breaking with his foreign
obligations and uniting his fortunes
with tho revolutionists of the new world
were highly romantic. France and Eng

just as absurd as the proposition that o

Inls breed or fowls Is very old, old
er, some say, than the Roman Empire.
They are described by old Roman
/ writer's, and so clearly, that there
seems no doubt that they were the most
prominent breed of that early age.
From that time to this they seem to
have held characteristics distinct from
other breeds. Writing Of this breed
Manly Miles says: "They are what
would be termed at the present day
pre-eminently an English breed of
fowls, and are, as they always will be,
general favorite wherever known.
The English regard them as superior
to all other breeds as a table fowl, and
they probably are unsurpassed by any
and equaled by none, except, perhaps,
the game. Yet it has the advantage
when compared with the latter, pro-
ducing greater proportion of breast
meat, being so very broad, deep, full
breasted and plump in general contour.
Tia average weight az tbs ocsk is tr9m
nine to ten pounds, though they oc-
casionally weigh over eleven pounds
the hens weigh from seven to eight
pounds.
"One peculiar marking Of the Dork-
Ing is the fifth toe, which is placed
above the fourth, distinct from the 9TH
ers and curves slightly upward. The
head is rather large, though not coarse,
beak stout and slightly curved; the
comb of the colored varieties being
either rose or SINGLE the white variety
always having the rose comb. The ear
lobes and wattles, like the comb, are
bright red in color, the wattles being
quite large and broad The neck is
large, of medium length, the back
broad and long, the breast deep, broad
and full, the wings and general make
up of the fowl being compact and
plump.
''They are quiet and docile in habits,
and not extensive foragers, though
they always thrive best with a good
run, such as the liberty Of a farm.
The principal varieties with us are the
Colored, Silver Gray, White and
Cuckoo. though the latter is less COM
mon with us than the English, being
rarely seen in this country.
"It is generally conceded by most
poultry breeders that while the Dork-
ings may be called fair layers, with
good care, yet they are inferior in the
egg-producing quality to most of our
standard breeds, taking the year
through.
GAS a table fowl the Dorking stands
unsurpassed, being peculiarly delicate
in flavor, tender and juicy with an
abundance of breast meat. Their large
size, early maturity, and rapid growth
also tell much in their favor, while
their beauty of form and plumage are
not the least Of their merits. Gentle in
disposition, they make the best of pets,
and seem to enjoy being petted, almost
as much as cat does, being fully equal
to the Brahma in this respect. They
also make the best of mothers, never
leaving their chickens until they are
old enough to take care Of themselves
in measure, and are in this respect
better than even the Cochins and
Brahmas, as they remain longer with
their broods than most other breeds
Their eggs are large and round, and
nearly equal in size at both ends.
"The Dorking breed of whatever var
iety, should always have "a dry SOIL
otherwise they will not thrive WELL
The breed is valuable to cross with the
Brahmas and Cochins. The result of
this cross usually excels the Dorking
In laying qualities"

REAL ESTATE and BUILDING
Record of the City Superintend-
ent's Office
PERMITS NOT NUMEROUS
As Compared With Activity Hereto
fore Prevailing
Building Practically Confined to Construction
of DweIIlngs-Denand for Lots and
Sales of Property Made

The weeks record of the city superin-
tendent of buildings shows less activity in
building lines than has been the case for
many weeks past, the total number of per-
mits issued being but %, and the esti-
mated value of the new buildings being
only $46,245. The most important build
ing for which permit was issued is that to
be constructed for Mrs Francisco W.
Shepherd, which is to be two-story brick
situated at the corner of Sixth and San
Pedro streets, and will cost Sill 900; ID. f.
Hill took out permit for the erection of
flats on Fifth street, near Los Angeles, at
an outlay of $4,000, and these two COM
plete the list of buildings for purposes
other than dwelling houses.
Among the list of homes are some of
high cost and elegant design, the honor
haven fallen to Mrs. Anna Townsend, to
whom permit was issued for the con-
struction of residence on Olive street,
between Court and Temple streets, which
is to cost $4,000. E. G. Robinson will build
q two-story frame residence on Union ave.
nue., between Ninth and Tenth streets, at
an estimated cost of $500; Bertha S.
McClelland has the carpenters at work on
dwelling house at the corner of
Scarf street and st. James park. which
will cost $4,000; M. NJ. Ramon is building
q very pretty dwelling house on Figueroa
street, between Pico and Sixteenth str eets,
to cost $500; f. d. Valiant will build a
dwelling at 500 Maple avenue, to cost
$1,000; E. p. Normandin will soon have
completed a residence on Union avenue,
near sixteenth street, at an outlay of
$3.50; Mrs. Elliott is building dainty
cottage at the corner of Norwood and
Twenty-first streets which will cost $500,
and Peter Kline will devote $4,000 to the
construction of home on Maple avenue,
between Seventh and Eighth streets. The
remainder of the list comprises dwelling
houses costing less than $1,000, though a
fair proportion of them closely approach
that valuation.
The weeks work indicates an opinion on
the part of the builders that the needs of
the community in tho immediate future
are provided for, and sue Ii operations as
are being carried on are for the benefit and
use of the people who build the houses.
With the close of the tourist season in
A pril or May, building will become lively
again, or cease to be even as lively as now
