Washington was buried in what is
now known as the old vault, which is
perhaps 200 feet away from his present
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that new family vault be
constructed after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side Of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid to
this request. however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole q skull which he supposed to be
that Of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases, "got drunk, and so his
secret was discovered, and the skull,
which proved to be that of Laurence
Washington instead, was returned.
This incident led to the final carrying
out of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built and in 1881
his remains were removed to it. The old
vault was allowed TO fall into state Of
decay, and only few years ago 1t was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around 1t, and 1t
now receives the same care as the new
tomb.

4 Creek Colony In Corsica

st Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of a Greek population with
Its own church settled down on the
coast Of Corsica. Our inn is kept by a
Greek from Corfu, as his name Cor
Aotti, tells US and as the loqUacity OF
his wife would lead rs TO infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love Of talk.
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices Of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged. and when the French
came into possession Of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles, who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Carsese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intermarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, III
spite of centuries Of barbarian inroads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek typ
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller of its eternal youth and It's

Ofan great conquerors, writes Marion
Crawford in "Studies From the Chron-
icles Of Rome, he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with

mankind by an increased social stabii-
~. Of all great lawgivers, he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern justice. OF all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and.ridden it breathless to the goal Vi

Vice President Hobart's death was not
entirely unexpected. for the news of his
serious ailment has been widely spread for
some weeks Yet the reports of his partial
recovery which followed the earlier an
uouucements gave some ground for hoping
that he might perhaps survive the attack,
although it was clearly understood that
even in such event he would not re-enter
public life. The people had come to enter
tain a very high opinion of the Vice Presi-
dent. both as an official and as man.
They found in him fine type of American
citizenship and in his somewhat restricted
official sphere he proved to be efficient
conscientious worker. ready to do his full
part in the great legislative process. For
once in long TIM they saw the President
asI the Vice President of the country in
thorough accord and thus was created a
sense of greater harmony between the ex-
e.--iye and the legislative branches of the
Eavesament. Mr.. Hobart accepted his
share II The official task in the spirit of
aurraCiatIon- Some men before him who
have found their sphere as Vice President
limited by the laws and by long-cstablished
Customs. have withdrawn into a minimum
of activity, satisfied to perform a few mea-
GER functions and To hold aloof from any
ot tine administration. or have shown their
disappointment and sulked. Mr.. Hobart
found a way To share in the national bur
Gen without intruding himself upon the
President. by appraising at its true value
thu office he held and adjusting himself to
the administrations necessities as func-
t"nal part Of the chosen process. It may
be that his example will materially help
IL the future in preserving kindlier feel
l. Is between the chief executive and the
man elected with him as his possible sue
Cessor- Washington's loss in this instance
Is deeply felt. for. although Mr.. Hobart
had lived here only through two seasons.
he had made very many warm personal
friends and the capital had come to regart
him as one of its citizens. To his stricken
family the condolences of all the people,
and especially of the Washington public.
