Masons from nearly every jurisdic-
ton in the United States participated
in the centennial memorial services at
Mount Vernon: Washington was buried
with masonic honors, aand the members
of the lodge at Alexandria constituted
the main part of the little procession
which followed his remains from the
residence to the vault at Mount Ver-
non. The hall at Alexandria where the
masons met in Washington's time is
much the same that it was in his day,
and the apron worn by him is still
shown.

He had been in hundreds of skir-
mishes and midnight attacks. He was
regarded as a man of action and of
splendid courage, but was not con-
sidered reckless. He never exposed
his men without due consideration of
the risks and the stake. His men
knew this and would unhesitatingly
follow his lead under what seemed to
be the most desperate conditions.
The Indians came to know him as
the most active, vigilant, wary and
determined of foes. and his pursuit
and capture of Geronimo. the famous
Apache chieftain, has gone down to
history as one of the most remark
able campaigns ever undertaken with
the small force in hand. Gen. Miles
picked out Lawton to lead the chase
after the Indian chief, and for three
months, day and night without a
pause, through all sorts Of vicis<itudes
Of weather and personal suffering.
Lawton hung on the trail like blood
hound until the game was run to
earth, and for the first time in quar-
ter of century southeastern Ari-
zona was pacified. Secretary Root
and the president each expressed his
profound grief at the confirmation of
the report of the generals death.
Died on Eve Of Promotion.
It was learned at the war depart
ment that instructions had been re-
ceived Monday night from the presi-
dent to prepare Gen. Lawton's COM
mission as a brigadier general in the
regular army to fill one of the exist
ing vacancies, and the adjutant gen
erals clerks were at work on the
commission when the information of
Gen. Lawton's death was conveyed to
the department.. Gen. Lawton was Il
native of Indiana and won his COM
mission in the army by signal GAL
lantry during the war between the
states.

lips moved as if in prayer, but the
articulation was so faint that the
words could not be heard. Just as
death came, Mr.. Moody awoke, as if
from slumber, and said, with much
joyousness: II see earth receding;
Heaven is opening; God is calling
me-" and moment later he expired.

General Breaking Down

The death of Mr.. Moody was not
unexpected, although his temporary
recovery from illness was hoped for
by his relatives and friends. The
cause of his death was general
breaking down of his health, due to-
overwork. His constitution was that
of an exceedingly strong man, but
his untiring labors had gradually un-
dermined his vitality until that most
delicate of organs, the heart, showed
signs of weakness.

Sankey Greatly Affected.

New York, Dec. 23.-1ra D. Sankey,
who for ~ years was associated in
evangelistic work with Mr.. Moody,
was greatly affected at the news of
his death. To reporter Mr.. Sankey
told of his work with Mr.. Moody
from the time they first met, of their
tour through England in 1873 and. of
their preaching and singing in the
United States. "You may say" said
Mr.. Sankey, that in the death of Mr..
Moody the world has lost one of the
greatest and noblest men of the age.
I have labored with him for the last
~ years, travelling with him by land
and sea, and nobler, braver and
wiser soul I never knew. [ can ap-
ply Prof. Henry Drummond's remark

Here is a paragraph from the special
Baltimore correspondence of the conser-
vative and reliable New York CONNER
cial Advertiser which should commend
itself to those independent voters whe
arrayed themselves against Arthur P
Gormsn in 1885,
There is silly attempt to raise the
cry of negro domination, especially in
one of the southern counties, where the
shiftless white element discourages imi,
grafton which would balance the negro
preponderance. But Maryland as q
State is too progressive tc let this cry CT
the Democratic demagogues obscure the
real issues. There is also marked in.
terest in the legislature, because The
State Senators who are chosen this fall
will hold over, and will have a vote in
the election Of Senator'S Wellington't
successor. There is wheIe Mr. German,
direct personal concern comes in, de
expects to return to the Senate, and
every move is for that purpose. Some
of the independent Democrats who dis
like German, but who have shown a
disposition 20 support the State ticket be
nominated for them will not let him con-
troll the legislature. But there is Mt
middle course open to them. Democra-
tic success in Maryland this fall will be
personal triumph for Mr. German
and he will profit most by it

The appointment by Governor
Lowndes of Judge james A. @. Bond as
Chief Judge Of the Fifth Judicial Cir
cult Of Maryland, to succeed the late
Judge Charles B. Roberts, is ample
REPUTATION if any were needed of the
Democratic charges Of partnership on
the part of the Governor in the selection
Of the judiciary. The Baltimore Sun.
in discussing the matter editorially
says:-
"Govcrnor Lownde in making the
nomination, rose above party. Ifhe bad
been actusted merely by partisan
motives, he would have taken the nomi-
nee from the Republican party. But
he was broad-minded and patriotic
enough to place the public interests
above partisan cons derations and to en-
coursge BY his influence and example
the effort to select for judicial Office the
best material, irrespective of purely
party demands or political advantage.
This is a high and honorable motive; it
is in line with Governor Lowndes course
hith arto, and deserves general CONNER
dttion."
Democrats as we'll as Republicans ap-
prove Governor Lowndes course David
Cowan, Jr, a Leading Democrat Of
Westminster, said:-
1.-The appointment Of Judge Bond
was wise move Of Governor Lowndes
and, in my opinion, was the best seles-
ton he could have made. | heartily
favor the appointment"

FED OF REMUDA GRASS.

Al the south entrance Of the Dold Pack
ing company plant in the open court Of
the main drive way is probably the finest
stand OF verdure in the city. On a raised
mound IS a large fountain with a basin Of
several hundreds OF gallons capacity.
Sloping down on all sides from this is a
rich bed Of finely trained Bermuda grass,
soft and velvety and displaying a beau
tiful effect Of green. This grass plat re-
ceives the best of attention, and is we'll
watered and cared for by d special custo-
dian Of the day watch. Early in the sea-
son this plat was covered by a layer OF
fertilizer from the new guano works and
the effect is very pleasing to the many
visitors from the city and out Of town
who take occasion to car at the house.
Miss Pearl Ludlun, Of the accounting Of
fee, has taken personal charge of the
