THAT DOLLAR CERTIFICATE.
Washington Claims That the Certih-
cate Was Straight.

DR.. G. p. Washington, the colored ply
sician at Waycross, two Of whose certif-
Gates have been turned down by Inspector
Dreamer, feels aggrieved at the illusions
made to him under the caption of "A
certificate for one dollar" In letter TO the
Morning News dated Oct. IS, he acknowl-
edges to a desire TO make closer acqua.nt-
ance with the almighty dollar at every
opportunity, but incloses two sworn aff-
daVits TO show that he was justified in is
suing a certificate to Frank Keller, who
was put off the train recently by Inspector
Creamer because the man acknowledged
that the statement cont aimed in the certih-
cate was not true.
One Of the affidavlts Is from David Jones
who certifles that he stated to Dr. Wash
ington that Ke.ser had been a resident Of
Waycross for twelve days and was
boarcer at his house. The affidavit is sign
ed David Jones. his mark" and Is evil
IDENTIFY from colored man.
The other affidavit simply certifies that
the affiant was present when both Keller
aud Jones testified 10 Or. Washington that
Keller had been a resident of Waycross
for twelve days. The signature TO this at
fidavit looks like &c w. Gerdine." Both
afildavits are witnessed by ''E. W. Brink
ms, notary public, Ware county, Georgia."
Inspector Dreamer was shown the .ctter
and afiidaviis. The facts in the matter are
simply these" he said. when told KEEL
Ter that his certificate was no good, l also
told him that he could telegraph the May

replied that ID was not worth while to do
this as he had only been In Waycross
two days and the statement contained in
the certificate was untrue. 1 accordingly

expire. According to Keler's own state

sELF-sUPpoRr1NG STUDENTS.
There Are Now More Men WORKING
Their Way Through College
Than Ever.

Most people picture the young man
who earns his own expenses while at
college as long-faced prig who rooms
in a garnet, where he breaks the ice in
his pitcher for water to wash with in
winter, and tells himself how noble he
is to persevere in spite of the sneers
and snubs of his more fortunate class
mates. If that type of collegian ever
really existed he is now extinct. The
modern self-supporting student is not
snubbed nor sneered at by anybody,
and he smiles occasionally. This is be-
cause there are more college men earn
ing their living to-day than ever be-
fore, and because they earn a better
living. One-quarter of the entire 3O1
members of the last class graduated
at Yale supported themselves partly
or wholly: probably all of them ate
three meals day, and many of them
were quite in the thick of college life
besides. This point is emphasized, be.
cause I know that every year some
boys think of going to college and then
give it up, largely-though they may
not confess it-because they hate to
think of being queer and tout of
things" This is natural feeling. but
it is unnecessary. recall no football
team at my college (Princeton) in the
last ten years that did not have at least
one man working his way through, and
invariably some of the most popular
and influential men in every class are

THE OLD "EAGLE TREE. +"
Said to He One Of the Last Haunts
Of the American Bird ON
Long Island.

People of East Moriches are mourn
ing the fact that the old historic ''eagle
tree" is now dead, and that in few
years it will probably disappear alto
gether. After weathering many
storm and withstanding several fierce
fires, it has at last succumbed to the
elements and is gradually disintegrat-
ing.
The tree was first occupied by pair
of eagles late in the last century. 1t
was the last known resort of the great
American bald-headed eagle on Long
Island. Each year after they first APP
peared in the old tree the eagles re-
turned and built their nest and raised
their young. When the Manor &
Sag Harbor branch of the Long Is
land railroad was built only 100 yards
from the tree the eagles abandoned it
and sought new retreat. But they
did not seem to be pleased with their
new quarters, and in 1856 or 1887 they
returned and once more set up their
home in the broad branches of the
aged tree.
Those who came to Riverhead and
Moriches would frequently see the
white-feathered head of the eagle fam
lily soaring majestically over the coun-
try or else perched with dignity on the
gnarled branches of the oak and keep
ing watch over his mate. About six
years ago the family was broken up
through the cruelty of hunter, who
wounded the eagle so badly that he
afterward died, and his body was found
at the foot of the tree which had been
his home for SO many years. Every
one felt sense of personal loss, and it
would have Jared hard with the hunter
had he appeared about this time.
After that pair of ospreys took pos
session of the nest for awhile, but it
soon fell apart.
]. Buell. Terry, Of East Moriches,
owns the land upon which the tree
stands. He says that the old tree has
been marvelously hardy. It has, how
ever, reached its last days, but Mr..
Terry says that he will never allow it
to be cut DOWN.. Y. Tribune.
