WASHINGTON.
English Woman Discovers That She
is a Relative of the First President

If Mrs. Nelson Washington, of Lon
don, England, and her daughter, OF
Toronto, Canada, hadn't visited Chi
cago recently ever so many people
in this world would never have known
that the latter is a relative of our
own George Washington.
Mrs. Washington is the wife of DR..
Nelson Washington, Of Milwaukee,
formerly of Toronto. She says her
husband is the gerat-great-grands
of Stephen Washington, who left Eng
land with his two brothers, one of
whom was the father of George.
Georges ancestor settled in Virginia
and Stephen settled in Toronto.
When the Revolution broke out
Stephens family joined the Royalist
forces, and after that time there was
no communication between the Ameri-
can and Canadian branches. Said Mrs
Washington:
Some years ago my husbands fam
ily's title to the renowned name was
disputed in Canada, and to set at rest
all such calumnies DR.. John Wash
ington journeyed to England, to the
old seat of the family, and there Sc
cured the family tree, proving con-
clusively that brother of the ances
tor of George Washington went to
Canada shortly after his two brothers
settled in Virginia.
The Washingtons in Canada have
gradually decreased until now only
one man in that country bears the
name. He is DIR. John Washington,
Of Goderich, Ontario, a great-great
grandson of Stephen, and cousin not
far removed from the immortal
George. His only son, DR.. Wal
ter Washington, is practicing medi
cine in Newark, N. J.

JACOBITE RELICS.

The sale of Jacobite relics at Gull
oden house, near Inverness, Scotland,
recently, attracted large and rep
resentative gathering of Highlanders
and connoisseurs. Interest was
shown in the sale of the bedstead
which Prince Charles Edward slept
On three nights preceding the battle
of Culloden. 1t was sold for $3.50.
Some thirty cannon balls and bullets
from the battlefield ran from S. up
to s25 each. For an old carved oak
washstand, towel rail and center
table, the Earl of Moray gave $3.50.
Prince Charles walking-stick went
for $500, the buyer being Queen Vic
toria, whose name was loudly cheered.
This stick was left by Prince Charles
against the bed at Culloden castle on
the night before the battle. AS a
handle it has two heads representing
Folly and Wisdom. A letter, signed
and sealed by Prince Charles Edward,
granting commission to William
Macintosh as lieutenant in Cluny
Macpherson's regiment, fetched s479.

side Of us cuts US of from foreign
entanglements. But to put the stars
and stripes where they are today has
cost us 10 billion dollars and $4,000
lives. Over four-fifths of this sum
and 100000 Of the lives were eY
pended in the war for the Union.
Even Americans do not generally
know that our Indian wars have cost
US another billion dollars, and nearly
$4,000 lives. This sum is three times
as much as the Revolution, the war
of 1912 and the Mexican war cost us.
While in 120 years the United States
has spent 10000, 000, 900 dollars, Eng
land in eight of her largest wars in
the last 800 years has expended the
same amount. Over half of il went
to fight Napolean. and more than
$40, 600, 200, 900 more were expended
in the war which followed the French
to fight Napoleon, and more than
twice as much as we did in the
American revolution, and then had to
lose her colonies. But in not one
of the great wars in which England
has been engaged has she expended
as much as did the United States in
the war Of the rebellion.
The wars which Napoleon I and
Napoleon III brought upon France
cost that nation nearly three and a
half billion dollars. Louis Napoleon
war with Germany cost France twice
as much money as all the wars of the
great Napoleon, to say nothing of the
loss Of two fertile provinces. That
short-lived conflict of 1901 cost
France nearly billion and a hall
dollars. Besides the billion dollar
indemnity which she was forced to
pay. In lives France lost 100000
| men. While the loss of money was
greater in the second war, the NOR
tally among the soldiers was not
nearly as heavy as in the earlier
wars. The battles of Napoleon ]
widowed more than a million French
women, and made 100000 orphans in
France alone. All told, these wars
took the lives of 100000 men.
In the six campaigns of the Pen
| insular war, in which Wellington
drove France out of Spain, 100000
Frenchmen persisted, and the loss OF
the Spanish and their allies was
about the same.
In losses to both sides in war the
figures are still more astounding. The
total cost of the Crimean war has
| been placed at two billion dollars, and
the loss in men at 100000. The Italian
war of 1859 required S3OO,000,00 and
| 600 lives. In the short war OF
Prussia and Austria, in 1866 $685..
| 900 900 was expended and As, 900 more
| men. The Russo-Turkish war of 1871
claimed 100000 men and S125, 900, 900
It is stated that in 70 years Russia
has spent in wars $685. 900, 900, and in
men 664,00O.
Estimates Of the worlds loss OF
lives in war reach the beWildering
figure of seven billions, Of whom
four billions have been killed since
the beginning of the Christian era
