first president of the United States,
appeared penetrated with veneration
for the illustrious chief of the republic.
The humblest was proud of the virtues
of the man who was to govern him.
Tears of Joy were seen to flow in the
hall of the senate, at church, and even
in the streets, and no sovereign ever
reigned more completely il the hearts
of his subjects than Washington in the
hearts of his fellow-citizens. Nature,
which had given him the talent to gov
ern, distinguished him from all others
by his appearance. He had at once
the soul, the look and the figure OF
hero. He never appeared embarrassed
at homage rendered him, and in his
manners he had the advantage of join
ing dignity to great simplicity"
1t was an ovation such as has come
to but few persons in human history,
and it marked the position of George
Washington as one of the most unique
in the history of the world. There have

The large dining room never held more
jolly party, and mirth and merriment
reigned supreme until late hour
Editor Fowler, of the Progress, was
toastmaster of the evening, and many
witty and interesting remarks were
made in response to the toasts on the
programme. The Hazleton delegation
were highly pleased with the treatment
accorded them, and look forward with
pleasure to another such evening.

the legal Offices from which he daily in

he said. "By the way, George, what is

unique position in history stands out
most clearly. The personal element is
always stronger han that of an abstract
idea in political movements. 1t may
be fairly doubted, and is actually
doubted by the highest historical au-
thority, If the new government could
have been established on broad nation
al lines merely on the strength of its
inherent virtue, had there not been
back of it the heroic figure of Wash
ington. The new plan of government
being a compromise between conflict
ing interests and modes of thought met
with dissatisfaction, in some particu-
lar, almost everywhere, but there was
abroad among the people the feeling,
sometimes clearly expressed but gen.
orally remaining in au indistinct form,
that whatever there was unsatisfactory
in the plan was bound to work out well
in the hands of Washington. This un-
bounded trust In the peoples hero had
designated him for the first executive
long before the constitution itself was
ratified, and but for this faith in the one
man we might not have had the nation
of the United States of America, but in
its stead several disjointed confedera
cies. With perfect propriety could the
Italian patriotAlficri greet Washington
with the words: "lIappy are you who
have for the sublime and permanent
basis of your glory the love of country
demonstrated by deeds.'' And it was
not merely local feeling, but fairly
represented the universal sentiment of
the people which found expression in
the nartinp words of his naiohbors of
Alexandria when he left them on his
Journey to New York to enter upon his
duties as president of the United
States: Farewell, and make a CRATE

be we'll, therefore, to have called at

described. for IN is not blazoned on

his life work. And it was we'll for
the Young republic that it enioved dur-

The chair as it's name implies is es-
pecially adapted to tramps. But, it
can be used for any kind of offender.
1t is the invention of Mr.. Sanford j.
Baker of Oakland, who proposes to
bring it before the coming session of
the Legislature for general adoption in
the tramp frequented section-and
where don't they frequent provided
there is any pie in sight?
The chair is simplicity itself. 1t Is
made of iron, the back like any ordi-
nary straight backed chair. 1t is the
inclosing framework of iron woven in
heavy bands, like a wicker basket. and
made to shut the sitter right in, with
little freedom to move, one way or
other, that breaks his heart. Aye,
there's the rub. For what tramp or like
