TOOK OFF HIS CAP
To the 1llustrious Lafayette.

TWAS noted last week in these
columns that during Lafayette's
last visit to America he was met
by one or two boys who are now
venerable West virg mans.
These survivors also enjoyed the
honor of shaking hands with the
illustr:ous French patriot. 1t
will be a pleasant surprise to
many of our readers to learn that
our own townsman, Mr. D..
Boughner. was one of those who
witnessed and participated in the
procession on the occasion Of
Lafayette's visit to New Geneva.

and welcomed by Albert Gallatin,
the celebrated statesman. THE

large procession of us boys.
wearing paper caps, and we
marched up to Albert Gallatin's
residence. l remember the
strawberry patch on the premises.
1t was the first I had ever seen.
In the procession were about 200
ladies, dressed in white, and led
by Mrs. Woods, wife of Capt.
Joseph Woods.''
This was the great French
mans last visit to America, and
Mr.. Boughner is one of the very
few surviving West Virglnians
who paid a personal tribute of
honor to the renowned champion
of liberty.

Legislature of New York has

death, subject to the death penal

same kind of law-breaking, only
greatly aggravated as a threat to
human life, exists in this coun-

the story. In the year 1893 thir.

robbers in the United States !; in
