Washington.

Washington.
1t is well for a nation, as it is for an
individual, that it should pause Occa-
sionally to survey its past and note
how closely it is adhering to or how
far it is departing from its early ideas.
Such opportunities are presented on
an anniversary like the present, which
recalls the grand and majestic figure
of Washington and the great work
and principles with which his name
is associated. They should be used
sincerely and heartily in strengthen
ing and elevating national sentiment
and purifying national patriotism, in
leading the present generation up to
the heroic heights of a younger and
fresher day, and in imbuing it with
the spirit and the enthusiasm that
give to individuals and people lasting
greatness. 1t will be national mis-
fortune of the first magnitude when
the observance of the god of February
is suffered to degenerate into a per
functory celebration, or to become
merely lip service, sounding and
impressive, but dead and soulless,
when Washington becomes to us sim
ply stately name, but his statues
imposing and striking, but, like them
cold and lifeless. The fire of Moham-
medan devotion is rekindled by the
yearly pilgrimage to the birthplace Of
the prophet at Mecca, and the birth
day of the father of HisCOuntry should
call forth an intellectual and moral
pilgrimage of similar sort on the
part of the Americans. There is no
danger that we will overestimate the
virtues or character of Washington.
The fierce light that beats around the
thrones of the immOrtalS never fails
to reveal their smallest blemishes, and
the cynical biographer of these latter
days never fails to call attention to
the slightest defect in the worlds
heroes. The danger is that in the on
ward rush OF what we call the modern
progress such virtues and characters
may lose their hold upon us, and in
time cease to be a living force We
cannot recall them to gratefully, or
dwell upon them too lovingly or rever-
emily. Washington was not the only
savior of his country in the struggle
for liberty, but he is the patriotic
standard and model of the nation for
all time. The closer we approach his
private and public virtues, the more
nearly we reproduce them in our per-
sonal and national existence, the
higher and truer will be our lives and
the stronger and purer the life of the
nation.
In the pride of recent development
and material achievement, of the
names we have contributed to states
manship, to learning or to military
glory, it is significant to remember
that the man who lies buried at Mt.
Vernon is still the one American to
whom all nations unite in rendering
reverent admiration-the only Amer
lean who has been admitted without
question into the worlds historical
pantheon. Others have found their
claims disputed to this great honor,
but his rights have been admitted al
most from the first. Even in this no

A Good Reason.

The general passenger agent Of one
Of the Chicago trunk lines received a
letter from a Kansas man the other day
requesting q pass for himself to Chicago
and return. There was nothing about
the letter to indicate that the writer
had any claim whatsoever to the courte.

thought that perhaps the Kansan had
some connection with the road in some
way, possibly IS a local, freight agent.
So he wrote back, "Please state explic-
lily on what account you request trans
portation." By return mail came this
reply, ''I've got to 60 to Chicago some

BArristers' Fees.

Barristers' fees in England are q
variable quantity. AS viewed in a So
licitor's bill Of costs they look some
what mysterious. A barrister's guinea
($5. 25) is always 81 IS. Cd. ($5. 81; 2
guineas $50. SOY are invariably So I'd.
($11.75), and SO on. This is explained
BY the fact that he charges q supple
mentary fee for his clerk at the rate of
2s. Cd. (62 cents) for every guinea he
earns. No fee is less than a guinea. An
unwritten law, dating from the time
when the guinea was q coin Of the
realm. DEGREES that barristers must not
accept silver. One transgression of this
rule is recorded. A somewhat impecuni-
Gus member Of the profession accepted
q few shillings as payment from q poor
client. He was promptly called before
the benchers Of the inn to explain. His
plea was that if he did not take gold be
at least took all the man had got,
~whereupon he was at once honorably
acquitted. 1t was impossible to cavil at
such q worthy upholding Of all the ira.
ditions OF the profession. Like physi-
clans, barristers cannot recover their
dues at law. The fee is supposed to be
an ''hOnorarium'' which was not ex-
pected. There is a quaint survival Of
the alleged eensitiveness Of barristers
about fees. In their gowns may still be
noticed a sort of long, narrow pocket
arrangement, hanging down at the
back of the left shoulder. Its occupa-
ton is gone now, but in the old time it
was the recognized receptacle for the
guineas which were supposed to be
dropped in surreptitiously by the client.
Very different is the brazen effrontery
Of these days, when eminent pleaders

THE CARRIAGE FOUND
BUT THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BANK
ROBBER ESCAPED.
He Bought Ticket for Canada and
Officers Are IN Hot Pursuit and
Hope to Catch Him.

! Milton, N. H.. April 1.-THE team
which was hired at Whittens livery sta
BILE in Berwick, in which the robbers of
the Great Falls National bank are sup
posed to have escaped, has been found
at the Phoenix sta bles here, where it
was left by man who boarded train
at ten minutes past four yesterday after
noon. The team was identified as Whit
tens this morning. 1t was learned that
the man answering the description of the
one who left the team went to North
Conway, where he purchased ticket for
Quebec.
The news caused a complete reversal
of the theory which the police had held
UP to that time that two men were
involved in the affair, because Joseph
Il. Kelly, a fellow we'll known about
town, hired the team in question from
Wh:tten's stable at one O'Clock yester-
day and Jos. Kelly is believed to be the
man who left the team at the Phoenix
stable. After leaving the team, the man
boarded train for North Conway, where
it was reported, at Milton, this morning
he purchased a ticket for Quebec.
Upon receiving this news, officer VIM.
Fl. Rich. of Berwick, deputy sheriff Jas.
Fl. Mcdaniel, of SomerswOrth and sher-
if George w. Parker, of Dover, at once
started in pursuit of the fugitive, and
the Canadian officials were notified TO
be on the watch. At the same time the
local police began tracing Kelly's move
ments during the day yesterday. In this
they were only partially successful, as
about the only facts they could learn was
that Kelly hired a team at Whitten's
stable at 1 O'Clock, saying he was going
fishing On leaving the stable he drove
in the opposite direction of that which
he had designated in outlining his pro-
posed trip.
Amesbury, Mass, April 17.-Joseph
Kelly, who is wanted at Somersworth,
on suspicion of having been connected
with the murder of Cashier Stickney of
the Great Falls National bank and the
robber of the bank :s a native of Ames-
bury. He is "A years of age and is well
known to the police of this place, although
his parents are eStimab!e people. He
was arrested OH September IS, 1892, on
two accounts, for breaking and enter

sentenced to the reformatory at Concord.

THE STREET OARS RUNNING.
Six New Summer Cars Will be Here in
Few Days.

Il rev Lays.
Raleigh has street cars again. On a
small scale as yet but much better than
no cars.
1t VIII be remembered that in the disas-
trous fire ON New Years night all the
cars then in use,except three, were burn
ed with the power-house and car-shet
Six new cars, fitted up with the very
latest and most improved machinery,
have been ordered, but have not yet ar
rived. and so for the present only the
three old cars can be operated.
The schedule, under these circum-
stances, will not be very good one and
passengers Will have to wait a good while
for the cars to make the trip, but it beats
walking. The company some time ago
promised the public, through these col
umns that the cars should be in opera
ton by May l. They have kept their
promise They have done better than
keep it. 1t is now two weeks before
May 1st, and the cars are running.

the power of the machinery formerly in
use-has been bought and put in place.
When the new cars arrive and the track
has been put in proper condition Raleigh
will lhave a street car system of which
we may feel proud.
The current was turned on yesterday
and the cars sent out to test the track
