To persevere is ones duty, to be silent

Without virtue and without integrity,

able part of mankind.
Promote as an object of primary impor-
tance, institutions for the general diffu-
sion of knowledge. In proportion as the
structure of n government gives force to
public opinion, it is essential that public
opinion should be enlightened.
Observe good faith and justice toward
all nations; cultivate peace and harmony
with all.
Let me warn you most solemnly against
the baneful effects of the spirit of party.

OF FRANCE
Now Lies Dead From an
Attack of Apoplexy.
HE SURVIVED BUT A FEW HOURS
Fears of Disturbances in Paris-Meas-
ures Taken to Prevent
Disorders.

Paris, Feb. 1s.-President Faure
died from apoplexy tonight.
It has been known for some time
that his health was weak, but the first
intimation that he was sick was given
at half past this afternoon, when a
message was dispatched to the pre-
mier, M. Dupuy, announcing that the
president was i'll. M. Dupuy immedi-
ately repaired to the Elysee. All
medical efforts proved futile and the
president died on the stroke Of 10.
1t was not until IL O'Clock that the
news began to become known to the
general public in Paris. From this
time began continuous arrival of pub
lie men. Strict orders, however, were
issued, and only memb bers of the cabi-
net we've admitted to the Elysee.
The report spread rapidly throughout
the city, and large crowds soon assem-
bled in the vicinity of the palace.
1t is reported that the recently
formed league, known as La Patrie
Franchise, will actively push M. de
Beaurepaire's candidature.
Under the present exceptionally ex-
citing conditions, anything may be ex-
pected to happen. Much depends
upon what General Zurlinden. military
governor OF Paris, as the head OF the
military element, may decide to do.
M. de Freycinet has ordered the
troops confined to barracks today.

dria, and, escorted by Lodge No. 4 of
Fredericksburg, in which Washington re-
ceived his first degree; Washington Lodge
No. % of Alexandria, of which he was
the first master, and Federal Lodge of
Washington and representatives of every
Grand Lodge in America will go to Mount
Vernon and there repeat the services of
Dec. 1S, 1799. 1t is expected that Presi-
dent Mckinley, himself q Mason, will
make an address, and after the ceremonies
a banquet will be given in Washington.
The march to the tomb will pass, of
course, the old tomb in which Washing
toms body was buried, and in which 1t
rested for more than thirty years. though
the objective point of the procession will
be the new tomb, where the coffin now is.
In his will Washington stated that "the
family vault at Mount Vernon requiring
repairs, and being improperly situated,
desire that n new one, of brick, and upon
a larger scale, may be built at the foot of
what is called the Vineyard Enclosure, on
the ground which is marked out, in which
my remains and those of my deceased
relatives (now in the old vault, and such
others of my family as may choose to be
entombed there, may be deposited Not
withstanding his request, it was not until
1881 that the new tomb was built and
Washington's body placed therein. And
then the old vault was allowed to fall into
a state of decay. In recent years it has
been rebuilt from a drawing in the Con-
gressional Library, and it is now SUR
rounded by an iron fence, and is kept up
with the same care as the new tomb In
1887, when the marble sarcophagi in
which the coffins of Washington and his
wife rest were placed in the new tomb, the
kew of that tomb was thrown into the Po-
tomac river.
At the request of Martha Washington
q door was made to the old tomb at the
time of the generals burial, instead ef

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.
vanced years are realized by compara-
lively few women.
Their hard lives. their liability to Sc.
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten she period of usefulness
and 6lit their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health IN old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound IN overcoming female ills. Here
Is a letter from Mrs. ]. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM.-I feel 1t my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
cvaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi-
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled. for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
OF the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during a single year.

the secretary of the navy to pay certain
laborers, workmen and mechanics at
the United States navy-yards and naval

Consideration was then begun of the

the bill was the committee amendment
providing for special mail facilities on
the trunk lines from New York and
Washington to Atlanta and New Or

far more attention to anniversary celebra-
tions of that happier event-the birth of
its first President-tha to the yearly re-
currence of the day of the funeral.
This year, however, the centennial of
that day will take place, and the obsery-
ance at Mount Vernon will be on Dec.
IA, the anniversary of the day of the
death, instead of on the 18th, which was
the date of the funeral. 1t is intended,
nevertheless, that the observance shall
take the form of duplication of the
funeral services, going over the same
ground as in ITO. So elaborate are the
contemplated ceremonies that already
plans are being put into shape for the
great event. AS Gen. Washington was
Mason, the services over his body were
conducted, in part at least, by the Ma
sons, and so the anniversary services will
be under the direction of the Grand Lodge
of Virginia, Free and Accepted Masons.
