WnshingtOn's Birthday.

George Washington. first president of the
United States. was born this day one hun
dred and sixty-five years ago. He died In
1879, and since that date the people of the
nation which he. as military leader during
the revolutionary struggle. and as civil
leader for eight years thereafter. in effect
created. have observed his natal day with
evidences of an undying appreciation of his
talents. his patriotism and his uprightness
doing reverence to the man as well as to
the historic hero that his acceptance of
opportunities made him. 1t can not be be-
hev3d that Nashington's birthday will ever
cease to be day OF celebration in this
land. although the years pass the
methods of observance and the accom-
panying degree of sentiment may change

propTldte action. marked by every evidence
or deep sorrow. The houses adopted a
resolution recommending the people TO as
semhlc the following I'D of February to
testify by eulogies, orations and discourses
or pubic prayers their grief for the deat h
OF George Washington, and thus was es-
tablished custom that has lasted for
nearly century and will doubtless con-
tinue until the nation and its memories
have passed away.

courages this, and severity and oppression
toward his Christian subjects. where he
can safely practice them, are to be ex-
Iocted In the case of Cuba the governor
nj the subject are both of the same faith.
and that faith imposes upon the governor
the duty of being just and kind. Oppres-
son is positively and expressly irterdicted.
Now. as between these two governors,
WI ich is the reprehensible? The
Turk. whose religion secretly encourages
such capers as he has been cutting in
Crete? Or the Spariard. whose religion
puts the seal OF seyerest condemnation on
the capers he has been cutting in Cuba?
The question. of course, answers itself.
The Spaniard has no excuse whatever. He
star ds out in the hard lines not only of an
Oppresscr. hut an cppressor of his own
people. The Turk has no excuse that any
civilized man will allow. but he comforts
himself doubt with the reflection that
the Cretans are at best only Christians,
and. therefore. his legitimate prey.
The cause of Crete has justly aroused
widespread sympathy. Greece. SO far, has
been the only power 10 act, but in Eng

the Ieeple roandly condemn the course of
the sultan. And the people of the United
States are of the same feeling. But the
cause of Crete is no stronger than that of
Cuba. Both appeal upon the highest
GroII DIS to humanity, and the cause of
Cuba appeals upon the additional ground
that the tyrant In that case is the domestic
tyrant-the most odious and forbidding
agent that tyranny ever employs.

Genealogical and other Complication.


The Cretan situation presents more than
a political and international aspect, for it
involves one of the most confusing family
complications known to modern history.
Nothing could illustrate more clearly the
Intricate relationships between The thrones
of Europe caused by intermarriage among
the royal families. King George, the ceE-
ter of all this storm, is not a Greek, but
a Dane. being the second son of King
Christian IX of Denmark. He IS brother
in-law to the Prince of Wales his sister
having married the heir-apparent to the
British crown. He is also uncle 20 the
Car of Russia. for another sister married
Alexander III, and she is therefore mother
of Nicholas. His wife, Queen Olga was
daughter Of Grand Duke Colstantine
brother of Alexander II, and she is there
fore niece to Georges sister and first cousin
to his rephew. 1t might reasonably he ex-
pected that King George. having ties with
three of the courts of Europe, would be
content but the process of inter-marriage
went on when Prince Constantine, eldest
son of George. and therefore heir 20 the
throne. was welded to Sophie daughter of
the late Emperor Frederick of Germany
and sister of the present emperor, William
H. Sophe's mother is sister of the Prince
OF Wales, and hence Constantine married
the niece of mis- own aunt. This connection
with the German court is of little avail in
the present emergency. for Sophie incurred
the resentment CT her august brother,
William II. when 4 year after his accession
and without asking his permission she
changed her religion from Lutheranism to
Greek Catholicism in order to adjust her
self to the requirements of her husbands
court. Nor can King George command the
aid of his ether relatives in his enterprise.
His domestic alliances with Russia and
England. which are strengthened ID by the
closest of personal ties. are of little avail

He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that Of thousands
of'others. With the opening Of the BIZ
cycle season many young person and
hundreds Of older people who have de.
termined to take up bicycling as a
health-giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper "snap" or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents so spirited exercise.
They would like 10 ride, but they are
out Of sorts, run down by a winter OF
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, Who have suffered from de-
bility or wasting diseases for long
time until they begun to think their
trouble had become chronic, as MOTH
ing gave them relief, would turn TO
bicycling for relief. But this splendid
exercise, like any other, requires
strength to undertake. The blood is
out Of order, the nerves are deranged,
and natures food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense joy that Paine's celery cOm-
pound, taken now, will make them

aches, neuralgia pains and days Of

Michael is today the most phenOme-
nal rider in professional ranks. AS
far back as 1894 he was undisputed
champion Of Great Britain, and in the
following year he went TO France and
scored 25 straight wins against the
picked riders of Europe. He has de-
feated such famous men as Jacquelin,
GOugoltz, Huret, Riyierre, BonhOurs
Bourrillon and Barden of England,

every community are the ones who
best recommend Aaine's celery COM
pound. They have looked into this
great redemy, followed its remarkable
achievements in the ease of friends,
neighbOrs and relatives, and know
just what to expect from its use as a
nerve and brain strengthened and
restOrer and an ideal invigorator for a
rundown system.
