INVESTING THE FUND

to buy Warrants.

The state board of educational lands
and funds has adopted the plan advo-
,ated by Governor Crounse three years
igo and have decided to invest $50, 900
Of the permanent school fund in un-
regeristercd state warrants issued since
February /. Warrants issued since
that day, IL they have n levy behind
them, will be cashed by Treasurer Me-
serve at face value. A suit to test the
legality of investing the permanent
school fund In state warrants called in
by the state board was instituted .
few years ago. The supreme court de-
cided that the state board could not
compel a person to part with a warrant
until there Is money in the fund o.
which the warrant IL drawn. As fast
AZ unregistered warrants on the gen.
eral fund are presented to Treasurer
Meserve. he will cash them to the ex-
tent of $50, 900 rs an investment for the
permanent school fund. The warrants
are considered state securities, and a.
such will be bought. 1t will be i'm

where Mary Washington Died.
On the upper floor OF the house are
the bedrooms, which are unusually
large and bright, but the chief interest
pertains to the one on the left hand of
the corridor. Here we are told Is the
room in which Mary Washington
breathed her last. This fact is not gen
orally known, as 1t is usually supposed
that she died In her own more humble
home not far away. When she had
been Ill for some time with an incur
able malady, Mrs. Lewis persuaded her
to be moved to Kenmore. and 1t was
here that she spent the last few weeks
of her life. Not far from the house
and within sight OF the windows of this
room arises the tall granite shaft
which was erected to the memory of
Mary Washington by the women OF
America. This is the only public
monument to a woman In the United
States. 1t is a handsome shaft. fifty
feet high. on the face of which Is in

incident happened in connection with
the latter inscription. Among the
crowds of people who attended the
unwilling of the monument were many
whose lives were passed IN farms in re-

them, an old woman, after giving a
long, appreciative look to h monu-

inscription, fairly beamed with delight.

In days gone by, stately danes have
courtsied low to their partners in the

later became the wives and mothers

was captured during the revolution
and sent for safe keeping 10 the home
Of Colonel Lewis, where he thus m

most Of the other English soldiers then
in America. The drawing room. which
is lofty and of unusual size, presents
a faithful picture of the apartment in
which the luxurious Virginian of that
day liked to gather his family or en-
terrain his friends. The high walls are
paneled to the top, the deep windows
furnish seats almost as large, though
hardly so comfortable as armchairs,
and on the doors are immense brass
locks, containing keys Of ponderous
size. 1t would almost seem from these
cumbersome locks which are found on
so many old homes. that our forefath-
