He was above all things else a capa-
bic executive boy. He loved mastery,
and he relished acquiring the most eff
fective means of mastery in all prac-
tical affairs. His very exercise books
used at school gave proof of it. They
were filled, not only with the rules,
formulae, diagrams and exercises of
surveying, which he was taking spe-
cial pains to learn, at the advice of his
friends, but also with careful copies of
legal and mercantile papers, bills OF
exchange, bills of sale, bonds, inden-
lures, land warrants, leases, deeds and
wills, as if he meant to be lawyers
or a merchants clerk. 1t would
seem that, passionate and full of
blood as he was, he conned
these things as he studied the
use and structure of his fowling-piece,
the bride he used for his colts, his
saddle-girth, and the best ways of
mounting. He copied these forms of
business as he might have copied Bev-
erley's account of the way fox or pos
sum or beaver was to be taken or the
wild turkey trapped. The men he most
admired, his elder brothers, Mr.. Fair
fax, and the gentlemen planters who
were so much at their houses, were
most of them sound men of business,
who valued good surveying as much az
they admired good Craftsmanship and
skill in sport. They were their own
merchants, and looked upon forms of
business paper as quite as useful as
plows and hogsheads. Careful exercise
in such matters might well enough
accompany practice in the equally
formal minuet in Virginia. And SO this
boy learned to show in almost every
thing he did the careful precision of the
perfect NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson,
in Harper's Magazine.

might expect to see not q little that
was worth seeing of the life of the COL
ony. George was kept at school until
he was close upon 16; but there was
ample vacation time for visiting. Mrs.
Washington did not keep him at her
apron strings. He even lived, when it
was necessary, with his brother Angus
tine, at the old home on Bridges creek,
in order to be near the best school that
was accessible, while the mother was
far away on the farm that lay upon the
Rappahannock. Mrs. Washington saw
to it, nevertheless, that she should not
lose sight of him altogether. When he
was IA it was proposed that he should
be sent to sea, as so many lads were,
but the prudent mother preferred he
should not leave Virginia, and the
schooling went on as before - the
schooling of books and manly sports.
Every lad learned to ride-to ride colt
or horse, regardless of training, gait or
temper-in that country, where no one
went afoot except to catch his mount in
the pasture. Every lad, black or white,
bond or free, knew where to find and
how to take the rowing game in the for
ests. And young Washington, robust
boy that he was, not to be daunted
while that strong spirit sat in him
which he got from his father and
mother alike, took his premiership
on horseback and IA the tangled woods
with characteristic zest and ardor.

1T happened this way" he began.
II was sent to Washington on forag-
ing expedition. It was before the battle
of Yorktown" The majors eagle eye
scanned the faces of his attentive lis
toner's.
Every one of the company had been
officers in Gen. Washington's army.
Together they had fought in every bat
tie from Bunker Hill to the capture of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. I can see
them now-strong of feature, brave of
bearing, their snow-white cues falling
on velvet collars, white rufties at their
wrists, knee breaches, leggings, and the
quaint buckle shoes of colonial times.
There was bluff old Rufus Putnam,
whose engineering skill on Dorchester
Heights enabled Washington to drive
the British from Boston; brave little
Commodore Whipple, who gave birth to-
the American navy by offering the first
defiance to England on the sea, and
the commanding figure of Robert Oliver,
who erected the first saw and grist mill
in Ohio, together with Jonathan Devol,
one of the first ship builders in the
western country.
But how did all these famous war
riors find their way to the beautiful
Ohio valley, you may ask? Peace re-
stored, their country had no more use
for fighting soldiers, war had robbed
them of their fortunes. But they were
undaunted, and together they boarded
the Mayfower-a floating barge-and
made their way into the Ohio valley.
There they laid out farms at Beeprc,
Waterford and JAMESTOWN, the earliest
settlement in the vicinity of Marietta.
At eventide they were wont to float
down the calm bosom of the river, and
at the peril Of the lurking red mans
tomnhawk, moor their skiffs at my
5grandfather's door. Once in the glow

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
Costly Show Windows Sadly De-
faced by w. H. Jennings.

number Of the finest plates glass
windows on the south side of K street,
east of Sixth, were badly defaced at
an early hour yesterday morning by
man named w. H. Jennings, and he
VIII have numerous charges of malic-
iOus mischief to answer for
Jennings is per-hanger. At one
| time, several years ago, he was a
member Of the fire department of this
city, but being dismissed he went to
San Francisco and succeeded in OBJ
tanning an appointment as policeman
there, which he did not retain very
long. Latterly, it is said he has been
drinking quite freely, and this fact
may to a certain extent account for his
strange conduct on Saturday night.
1t was about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing that Special officer Amos atten-
ton was attracted by Jennings queer
actions as he passed up K street. Al
mos noticed that whenever he came
to large show window he would dodge
over and run his right hand along the
glass the full extent of the window.
The officer Investigated and found
that Jennings had been scratching the
windows along his route with a dia-
mond, so he Overhaued and arrested
him, assisted by officer Greene. The
prisoner was found to have on one of
the fingers of his right hand dia-
mond ring with which he had cut ana
scratched the windows
An inspection Of the windows yester-
day showed that every lower-pane of
the fine plate-glass front of the Breu-
ner block had been defaced, including
those Of Breuner's crockery and fur
niture stores and the Nonpareil depart
ment store.
Then follow the windows of the Cap
ital Hotel building, Haubs furnishing
store, the Delmonico Restaurant-in
fact, every fine window from Sixth to
Eighth street Is scratched and defaced.
The damage amounts to many hun
dreds of dollars.
The police have no theory to advance
in explanation of Jennings conduct. as
he did not appear to be under the in
Huence of liquor when arrested. Bail
was deposited by friends and he was
released from custody.

NOTHING TO SAY.
Secretary of State Brown Declines
To Talk for Publication.

Secretary of State L. H. Brown was
seen by a Record Union" represen-
tative yesterday and asked as to the
truthfulness or falsity of a printed
statement to the effect that he had
visited the State Printers office and
finding Deputy Hadley and Foreman
Rogers there, accused them of having
put him in a hole" by promising him
a place for a friend, but which he did
not get.
The article referred to also stated
that the Secretary of State said he
could do more for the State Printing
Office than anybody else and that he
controlled, owing to political connec-
tions he had made, 5000 votes in Sac
ramento In conclusion he was re-
ported as having said that he would
sign no more pay-rolls for State Print
ing Office employees before the Board
of Examiners met.
Secretary Brown declined to discuss
that portion of the article relating Il
his alleged political combinations, ex.
cept to say that much he is alleged tt
have said was inaccurate. With re-
gard to signing the pay-rolls for en-
plOyes of the State Printing Office, he
had this to say:
You may say that the claims Of
the employees of the office will be APP
proved by the Board of Examiners and
signed by me, if at the next regular
meeting they are found correct Since

bills for paying employees Of the State
Printing Office, or any other institu-
ton, except at the regular meetings of
the board. For the past two years L

Two Trotting Events and One for
PAGERS This Afternoon.

The sport at Agricultural Park will
begin this afternoon. There are three
races scheduled for to-day. The track
is in excellent condition, and the
stands, ETC., cleaned and prepared to
accommodate the thousands who will
visit the Park this and next week.
The track was never in finer condi-
ton than at present. and all the ar
rangements at the Park give evidence
that the work of preparation there has
been done under the guidance of a
master-hand. To Director J. W. Will
son, Superintendent of the Park. is due
the credit for this condition Of affairs
II that department
For several weeks past Mr.. Wilson
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-09-06

has given his personal attention RI the
work of preparation for the Fair, and
no man, here or elsewhere, is better
fitted for that duty. He has made the
most effective use of such sum as the
society could afford to expend on the
Park account, as this is probably the
last year that a meeting will be held
there. Owners and caretakers of rae
ing horses and exhibition livestock al
the Park all acknowledge the kind and
courteous treatment they have received
at the hands of Director Wilson.
The first race this afternoon will be
the Oecident stake for foals of 1894.
Unless there should be scratches this
morning the starters will be- NJ. S.

THE GREAT TROT.
The special purse of $1,000 offered
for trotters in the 2:10 class, to come
off on Wednesday, is attracting much
attention. 1t will bring together such
high-class performers as Jasper Ayres.
Zombro, Gallette, Iora, Mamie Griffin,
STAN B. and Helena.
The belief is entertained that a very
low mark win be reached. Such a
race over one of the tracks in the East
would prove a great attraction and
would be witnessed by twenty thousand
or more people
