The Tooth anniversary Of the death Of
Washington recalls an act Of vandalism

ing that conflict. They constituted tho
one spot upon which Union and Confeder-
ates could meet and fraternize. And II was
while the pickets Of both armies were thus
At free quarters that an attempt was made
to desecrate the sarcophagus.
There was only ono gate 10 the tomb at
that time The iron bars OF this gate did
not extend to the ceiling OF the entrance.
The man who committed the depreciation
climbed over the top Of tho gate. reached
the sarcophagus, and broken talon from
the marble eagle above the receptacle.
That was the extent of the act. This led
to the construction OF the double gate
which now shuts in the dead. 30 close are
the bars OF the two gates than when the
place Is strcwn with flowers they IRE pass

The loQuacious individual who has the
post OF guard and guide informs visitors
that on December Il the gates are 70 bc
open, and that President Mckinley VIII
place flowers on the receptacle containing
the remains of Washington. But this is
only fancy Of the old man. Under thu

ATTACK FEARED.
Mayor 0vsTton Asks for Cavalry 10
Protect kogaIes.
Believes There Is Danger That Yaqul In-
dlans May Make an Assault

St Louis. Aug. "a special from
Nogales, Arizona, says: Two Gatlng
guns and a detachment of artillery
soldiers from the City OF Mexico have
been hurried southwark via El Paso IN
route to the scene of the Yaquis war
Troops are being marched across the
mountains from points in the state of
Chihuahua sand Durango to join the
forces in the field and other reinforce
ments are rushing from all quarters.
1t is reported that emissares have
been sent all over the state OF Sonora
by the Yaqui leaders To ranches and
mines where men of the tribe are to
work calling them to arms with their
compatriots already in the field and
many have disappeared. Some fears
are expressed of n descent upon this
town similar to that of August, 1896,
when an attacking party took possess
sion OF the Mexican custom house i'm
the early hours of the morning and
were dislodged only after a severe bat
tie in which they left nine men dead
on the field and carried away over
twenty wounded. In that fight Com
pany G., of the Arizona militia partici-
pated, and IL Is from motives OF re-
venge that the Yaquis now on the war
path have killed the Americans whose
deaths have been reported. In the for
mer wars they have always respected
Americans never molesting them.
The situation is here considered so
grave that Mayor Overton has COM
municated TO Gov. Murphy request to
ask the war department TO send
troop OF cavalry from Fort Huachuaca
for protection OF the town.

her last February by her husband. Ly-
mas w. Dexter, who. by inventing
angel cake, acquired 100000.
only three of her relatives are re-
membered by the testatrix, and their
bequests are small.

Thompson OF Providence, II. L., Mrs.
Dexter leaves $1,000; 10 Il. Milton Dex-

soulless.'
Nobody in Vineland however. ex-
poets Mr.. Streeter TO distribute his new
found wealth among dentists for teeth
fillings, nor is he regarded as soulless.
Indeed, he is popular and respected
even among those who do not share his
political views, and everybody rejoices
over his good fortune.
He declares, however, that he does
not regard the money as his. 1t was
left TO him as a trust. he says, and he
Will use IL in carrying out what he
knows were the wishes Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dexter.
Mr.. Streeter and Mr. and Mrs Dex-

ter was eccentric, and despite his
wealth, dressed i'm overalls pedled fruit
and otherwise attracted attention. He
died on February 16, at the age of Sc.
Mrs Dexter was infirm, and on the re-
fusal of the nephews TO look after the
estate, Mr.. Streeter assumed the task.
He also did all in his power to make
Mrs. Dexter comfortable. IL is supposed
she left her fortune TO him through
gratitude.
THE will was as much a surprise TO
me as TO anybody" said Mr.. Streeter.

had Mrs. Dexter cancelled the mort
gage against my property, but / had
not the remotest idea that | would re-
ceive the entire fortune"
