meetings to be entertained, and no
body knows that fact better than the
senator from the Empire state, who
has entertained tens of thousands. On
this occasion, however, he had a learned
and serious audience, and he fitted his
speech to the character of his hear
ers. People everywhere might be ben
Gifted by dwelling on his words.
The occasion was an unusual gather
ing of great men; men of prominence
in local and national affairs. 1t is pro-
posed that in this city there shall be a
national celebration next December,
of the origin of the national capital.
There were present senator's, repre-
sentatives, business men, lawyers, doc
tors, preachers and philosophical men
of every walk of life. Moreover, the
governors of Al states were present to
show their appreciation of the project.
and their disposition to cooperate in
the endeavor.
If these people could accomplish
what they proposed, this city would
spring at once into the front rank Of

Especial Washington letter.
GEH ENG one of the very few
members of the senate who
have no presidential aspira-
tions nor hopes in that direction, I can
afford to think as please, and talk as
I think. There is no danger that any
of my utterances may be quoted
against me in any presidential CAM
paign."
Thus spoke Senator Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, of New York, on the platform in
this city before a great audience. The
gathering was for the purpose of or
ganizing great centennial celebration
of the transfer of the permanent seat
of the government of our republic to
the desert wild now known as the Dis
trict of Columbia. What was said and
done at the meeting will be told later
on. But Senator Depew departed from
the original line of argument, and told
some things of a general nature, which
are first worthy of elaboration.
He said: George Washington never
supposed that he would become the
great figure in the worlds history
which he occupies to-day. His ambition
was purely local. His ambition was like
that of the men of this day. He did
not want Gen. Horatio Gates to super
sede him in command of the armies.
He did not want any man to displace
him IN the affections of his people. He
lived, as Longfellow says, in the iv-
ing present. He had no. thought of
fame for the future. His life work was
done when this city was located and
given his name. 1t was only when he
was nearing the tomb that he saw his
great country looming up. Then, at
last, he must have seen what fame was
to do for him.
"Great men do not work for fame.
They work for the present. Abraham
Lincoln did not live for fame. Gen.
Grant did not live for fame. They
worked only for what was Immediately
before them. History records the name
of only one man who seems to have
lived for his niche in history; and that
was Napoleon. Poor fellow! What
a wreck his life was. If he had lived
and worked only for France, how more
noble would have been his picture on
the page of history.

Evil of Fried Food.

No one who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill of fare
can fail to recognize the Importance
of the frying pan with us; fried ham
or bacon and eggs, fried oysters. fried
potatoes, fried steaks, and SO on, ad
nauseum. seem to be staple articles of
food. What can be done to lessen the
fried-food nuisance? Perhaps moth.

pie is to accumulate dollars rather
than to develop and preserve healthy
bodies which shall be the servants OF
healthy minds. Yet if those who teach
physiology in our public and other
schools understood their subject and
it's practical applications as they
should; if there were more schools in
which wholesome, economical cookery
were taught as it should be; if physi
clans took every opportunity to i'm
press such facts of practical hygicnic
Importance as they should, there can
be no doubt that by some sensible
and well-informed people. the fried

They propose that the congress shall
buy all of the land on the south side
of Pennsylvania avenue, and build q
centennial arch at some suitable paint.
They want to have Centennial avenue
from the capitol to the white house,
running along the botanical gardens,
through Armory square, along the ar
bored grounds OF the National mu
scum, the Smithsonian institution. by
the agricultural departments broad
acreage, past the bureau of engraving
and printing, around the Washington
monument, to the proposed location OF
a memorial bridge across the Poto-
mac, and thence to the white house.
either by tearing down the historic
residence of the presidents. or by eX-
tending and celebrating the present
structure according to the designs pre-
pared by the late wife of Gen. Har-
rison, when he was the chief executive
of the nation. e.
They want to make the centennial
not only passing show, but perma-
nent celebration. They want each
state in the union to build a perma-
nent edifice, to be guarded and kept in
order by the people of each state.
through enactments of their several
legislatures. In the speeches delivered
many illusions were made to the splen-
did temporary state exhibits at the
worlds fair which was held in Chicago
in 1893. The idea is good one. ..
Probably the best suggestion made
was that which was uttered by Gov.
McMillin, of Tennessee, who said:
During my 20 years of service in con-
gress 1 consistently and persistcntly
advocated the purchase of all the
ground bordering on the south side OF
Pennsylvania avenue, and the erection
thereon of federal buildings. The
greatest parade ground in the world
unrivaled by that of any national CAPT.
| tai, is disgraced by the unsightly build
| ings which line it's southern side. Con
gresham Springer in 1884, 16 years
ago, introduced a bill containing this
idea, but congress was not wise enough
| to adopt the suggestion. To do this
| and it will become an inevitable nc
cessity in time, the government must
now spend many millions of dollars
which would not then have been re
| quired. If we can accomplishing one
thing it will be enough, without doing
all the good things which are proposed
and urged at this time. The other
| good improvements will follow nat
urally."
Referring to the remarksof Senate,
Depew concerning Washington and hi:
noble ambitions, Archbishop Keane
said: 1.-The idea of the orient, the
Greek idea, the Roman idea. all were
incomplete. They strove for they
| knew not what. It was the Christian
ideal which fired the soul OF Washing
ton, that put conservation on his
sword, and enabled him to lead to vic
tory. His fundamental conviction was
that the Christian ideal was the true
one for the individual and for the ma
ton
With such strong men speaking and
working for the national capital cen
tennial, its success may reasonably and
conservatively be predicted.
