GATES OF WAsHISGToNs TOMB.
Circumstances That Make II Impossible to
Open Them for the President.

Open Them for the President.
The one hundrcdth anniversary Of the death Of
Washington, To be- observed al Mount Vernon ON
Dec. II, recalls an act of vandalism of the Civil
War. The grounds Of Washingtons home and
tomb were neutral during that conflict. They
constituted the one spot upon which Union and
Confederates could meet and fraternne And
1t was while the plckcts Of both armies were thus
at FREE quarters that an attempt was made 70 deso-
crate the sarcophagus
There was only one gate 10 the tomb al that
time The iron bars OF this gate did not extend
10 the ceiling Of the entrance. The man who
committed the depreciation climbed over the ton
OF the gate. reached the sarcophagus and broke
talon from the marble eagle above tho reoepA
taclc. That was the extern, Of the act. This led
to the construction Of the double gate which now
shuts In tho dead. So close are the bars Of the
two gates that when the place is str-wn with
flowers they are passed through the bars by means
OF long poles
The loauaciOus individual who has tho posi- Of
guard and guide informs visitors that on Dec.
II the gates are to be open. and that President
Mckinley will place flowers on the receptacle
containing the remains Of Washington But
this is only fancy OF the old man Under the
sthcteSt orders Of the Mount Vernon Association
the gates Of tho tomb are never IN bo open.
Whatever is done in the way Of floral Offering
by the President will be done in tho usual manned
observed four times year. Feb %, Decoration

After the double gate was constructed the
outer one WAS locked and the key thrown into the

A Great Foe of Trusts.

NouIier- Journal.
The appearance of Secretary
Alger as candidate for the United
States Senate from Michigan on the
platform of opposition to trusts IS
POSITIVELY amazing in view of his
record. Early in the eighties, the
diamond Match Company was en-
oeavoring 20 control the production
and sale of matches. 1t got inro
Tie courts and the nature of its
business was made evident by the
decision of the Supreme Court of
Michigan. That court said:
Monopoly in trade. or in any kind of
business III this country, is odious to our
form OF government. 1t is doubtful if free
government can long exist in country
where such enormous amounts of money are
allowed to he accumulated in the vaults of
corporations, to be used discretion in

country against The interests of the nuJ liz

USED WRONG KIND OF STAMP.
Jack Shields Ignorance Lets Him Out
of n EOrrerY Caae.

Jack Shields Ignorance Lets Him Out
of n Forgery Case.
Jack Shields, indicted on the charge OF
passing a forged check on Saloonkeeper Fill
ter can thank his stars that his ignorance
of the revenue laws obtained for him his
discharge. His trial was commenced in the
district court yesterday afternoon when his
attorney called the attention of the court
to the fact that the check which was alleged
to be a forgery bore a proprietary instead
of a documentary revenue stamp and that
therefore the instrument was not valid
Judge Green held that inasmuch as the
check bore a proprietary stamp and not a
documentary one It could not be the sub
ject of forgery and having no legal efficacy
could not have been passed as a forged in
strument. Judge Green therefore ordered
the case dismissed and the jury discharged.
County Attorney Kilpack will call the at
tention of the attorney general to the ruling
of Judge Green for the purpose of having
It taken to the supreme court If the attorney
general so directs The decision OF the SUI
preme court, If it should reverse the ruling
of Judge Green, will in no wise affect
Shields, as he stands acquitted OF the charge
and cannot be retired for the same offense.
1t is possible that the attention of the fed
eral authorities may be called to the case
with a view of having them take action
against Shields for using a proprietary In
place of documentary stamp on the check.
Shields assisted man who escaped arrest
in passing a check purported to be signed
by Max Mohn of the Creston house on Sa-
loonkeeper Filter Mohn's signature was
found to be forgery. A case of robbery
is still pending against Shields, but will not
be tried until next term.
