The average amount per day paid for men is 75 cents, though in a number of places Sl per day is offered and paid whenever men can te gotten to accept the price.

A marked characteristic of Wash,
ington from his schoolboy days to his
retirement from public life was his
fondness for pretty girls and beautiful
women. That he suffered not a little
because of his experiences with the fair
sex is indicated in a letter he wrote
to a relative when he was about 60
years old. He acknowledges that APP
ropos of the premature engagement OF
his ward, it would Tin great measure
avoid those little f1irtations with other
young ladies that may, by dividing the

Washington as a Dresser.

In his youth, and even during the
revolution, Washington was a good
deal of a dandy. He gave his tailors
minute instructions as to the number
of button holes desired on his coat
front, and for the cutting of the waist.
He had a weakness for blue and purple
broadcloth, silver and lace trimmings
and ruffled shirts. During his later
years, however, Washington dressed
more modestly, and always in good
taste. In his personal appearance he
was exceptionally clean and neat. He
is described as tall and well proper
toned and of commanding presence.
His feet were unusually large. Though
he wore false teeth and his large-fea-
tured face was colorless and pitted
from smallpox, he was considered
handsome. His carriage was always
dignified and graceful. Prominent

cans of that period who saw him fire.

Washington was fond of a good time
with congeniai companions,as is shown
by an expense account entry in his
diary now preserved in the state de-
partment at the national capital, which
reads: "To jamboree at Charlottes-
burg, N. c., 913."

when he went to West Point Tradi-
ton says that Captain Hale was ex-
amined in a greenhouse which then
stood in the garden of the Beekman
mansion.
Short was his trial, for he avowed
at once his true character. The Brit
ish general signed an order to his pro-
vost marshal directing him to receive
into his custody the prisoner convicted
as spy, and to see him hanged by the
neck tomorrow morning at day
break"
Terrible things are reported of the
manner in which this noble prisoner,
this admirable gentleman and hero,
was treated by his jailor and eXecu-
toner. There are savages in every
large army, and it is possible that this
provost marshal was one of them. 1t
is said that he refused him writing
materials, and afterwards, when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them by
others, destroyed before his face his
last letters to his mother and to the
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married. AS those letters were
never received, this statement may be
true. The other alleged horrors of
the execution it is safe to disregard,
because we know that it was conduct
ed in the usual form and in the pres
ence of many spectators and con-
siderable body of troops. One fact
shines out from the distracting confu-
sion of that morning, which will be
cherished to the latest posterity as
precious ingot of the moral treasures
Of the American people. When asked
if he had anything to say, Captain Hale
replied:
81 only regret that have but one life
to lose for my country"
The scene of his execution was prob
ably an old graveyard in Chambers
street, which was then called Barrack
street. General Howe formally noti-
fed General Washington of the execu-
ton. In recent years, through the in
dustry of investigators, the pathos and
sublimity of these events have been
in part revealed
A few years ago bronze statue of
the young hero was unveiled in the
New York City Hall Park. 1t is
greatly to be regretted that our knowl-
edge of this noble martyr Is SO slight;
but we know enough to be sure that

General Washington had as yet no sys-

formation so much as at that crisis.
What would General Howe do next?
If he crossed at He'll Gate, the Amerl-
can army, too small in numbers, ana
defeated the week before, might be
caught on Manhattan Island as in a
trap, and the issue of the contest
might be made to depend upon sin
gle battle; for in such circumstances
defeat would involve the capture OF the
whole army. And yet General Wash
ington was compelled to confess:
1--WE can not learn, nor have we been
able to procure the least information
Of late"
Therefore he wanted man. He
wanted an intelligent man, cool-head-
ed, skillful, brave, to cross the East
River to Long Island, enter the enc
my's camp, and get information as to
his strength and intentions. He went
to Colonel Knowlton, commanding
remarkably efficient regiment from
CONNECTICUT, and requested MIN 10 dS
certain if this man SO sore needed
could be found in his command. Col
onel Knowlton called his officers to-
gether, stated the wishes Of General
Washington, and, without urging the
enterprise upon any individual, left the
matter to their reflections.
